      x86/vdso: Remove direct HPET access through the vDSO · 1ed95e52
      由 Andy Lutomirski 提交于 
      Allowing user code to map the HPET is problematic.  HPET
implementations are notoriously buggy, and there are probably many
machines on which even MMIO reads from bogus HPET addresses are
problematic.

We have a report that the Dell Precision M2800 with:

  ACPI: HPET 0x00000000C8FE6238 000038 (v01 DELL   CBX3  01072009 AMI. 00000005)

is either so slow when accessing the HPET or actually hangs in some
regard, causing soft lockups to be reported if users do unexpected
things to the HPET.

The vclock HPET code has also always been a questionable speedup.
Accessing an HPET is exceedingly slow (on the order of several
microseconds), so the added overhead in requiring a syscall to read
the HPET is a small fraction of the total code of accessing it.

To avoid future problems, let's just delete the code entirely.

In the long run, this could actually be a speedup.  Waiman Long as a
patch to optimize the case where multiple CPUs contend for the HPET,
but that won't help unless all the accesses are mediated by the
kernel.

      x86_64, vdso: Fix the vdso address randomization algorithm · 394f56fe
      由 Andy Lutomirski 提交于 
      The theory behind vdso randomization is that it's mapped at a random
offset above the top of the stack.  To avoid wasting a page of
memory for an extra page table, the vdso isn't supposed to extend
past the lowest PMD into which it can fit.  Other than that, the
address should be a uniformly distributed address that meets all of
the alignment requirements.

The current algorithm is buggy: the vdso has about a 50% probability
of being at the very end of a PMD.  The current algorithm also has a
decent chance of failing outright due to incorrect handling of the
case where the top of the stack is near the top of its PMD.

This fixes the implementation.  The paxtest estimate of vdso
"randomisation" improves from 11 bits to 18 bits.  (Disclaimer: I
don't know what the paxtest code is actually calculating.)

It's worth noting that this algorithm is inherently biased: the vdso
is more likely to end up near the end of its PMD than near the
beginning.  Ideally we would either nix the PMD sharing requirement
or jointly randomize the vdso and the stack to reduce the bias.

In the mean time, this is a considerable improvement with basically
no risk of compatibility issues, since the allowed outputs of the
algorithm are unchanged.

As an easy test, doing this:

for i in `seq 10000`
  do grep -P vdso /proc/self/maps |cut -d- -f1
done |sort |uniq -d

used to produce lots of output (1445 lines on my most recent run).
A tiny subset looks like this:

7fffdfffe000
7fffe01fe000
7fffe05fe000
7fffe07fe000
7fffe09fe000
7fffe0bfe000
7fffe0dfe000

Note the suspicious fe000 endings.  With the fix, I get a much more
palatable 76 repeated addresses.

      coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag · 909af768
      由 Jason Baron 提交于 
      The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large.  There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).

Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag.  The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages.  However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.

The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'.  The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.

The qemu code which implements this features is at:

  http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch

In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.

I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.

This patch:

The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section.  However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name().  Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

      x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties on AMD family 15h · dfb09f9b
      由 Borislav Petkov 提交于 
      This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its
shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive
number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the
cores of a compute module.

This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache
lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their
virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation.

This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12]
slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus
forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library
across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases.

It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with
which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86
individually, or both, or be completely disabled.

This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families
and/or vendors unaffected.

      x86-64: Clean up vdso/kernel shared variables · 8c49d9a7
      由 Andy Lutomirski 提交于 
      Variables that are shared between the vdso and the kernel are
currently a bit of a mess.  They are each defined with their own
magic, they are accessed differently in the kernel, the vsyscall page,
and the vdso, and one of them (vsyscall_clock) doesn't even really
exist.

This changes them all to use a common mechanism.  All of them are
delcared in vvar.h with a fixed address (validated by the linker
script).  In the kernel (as before), they look like ordinary
read-write variables.  In the vsyscall page and the vdso, they are
accessed through a new macro VVAR, which gives read-only access.

The vdso is now loaded verbatim into memory without any fixups.  As a
side bonus, access from the vdso is faster because a level of
indirection is removed.

While we're at it, pack jiffies and vgetcpu_mode into the same
cacheline.
