x86 now sets up the mcount locations through the build and no longer needs to record the ip when the function is executed. This patch changes the initial mcount to simply return. There's no need to do any other work. If the ftrace start up test fails, the original mcount will be what everything will use, so having this as fast as possible is a good thing.

This adds fast paths for 32-bit syscall entry and exit when TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT is set, but no other kind of syscall tracing. These paths does not need to save and restore all registers as the general case of tracing does. Avoiding the iret return path when syscall audit is enabled helps performance a lot.

This unifies and cleans up the syscall tracing code on i386 and x86_64. Using a single function for entry and exit tracing on 32-bit made the do_syscall_trace() into some terrible spaghetti. The logic is clear and simple using separate syscall_trace_enter() and syscall_trace_leave() functions as on 64-bit. The unification adds PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP support on x86_64, for 32-bit ptrace() callers and for 64-bit ptrace() callers tracing either 32-bit or 64-bit tasks. It behaves just like 32-bit. Changing syscall_trace_enter() to return the syscall number shortens all the assembly paths, while adding the SYSEMU feature in a simple way.

This unifies the treatment of TIF_SINGLESTEP on i386 and x86_64. The bit is now excluded from _TIF_WORK_MASK on i386 as it has been on x86_64. This means the do_notify_resume() path using it is never used, so TIF_SINGLESTEP is not cleared on returning to user mode. Both now leave TIF_SINGLESTEP set when returning to user, so that it's already set on an int $0x80 system call entry. This removes the need for testing TF on the system_call path. Doing it this way fixes the regression for PTRACE_SINGLESTEP into a sigreturn syscall, introduced by commit 1e2e99f0. The clear_TF_reenable case that sets TIF_SINGLESTEP can only happen on a non-exception kernel entry, i.e. sysenter/syscall instruction. That will always get to the syscall exit tracing path.

This patch replaces the indirect call to the mcount function pointer with a direct call that will be patched by the dynamic ftrace routines. On boot up, the mcount function calls the ftace_stub function. When the dynamic ftrace code is initialized, the ftrace_stub is replaced with a call to the ftrace_record_ip, which records the instruction pointers of the locations that call it. Later, the ftraced daemon will call kstop_machine and patch all the locations to nops. When a ftrace is enabled, the original calls to mcount will now be set top call ftrace_caller, which will do a direct call to the registered ftrace function. This direct call is also patched when the function that should be called is updated. All patching is performed by a kstop_machine routine to prevent any type of race conditions that is associated with modifying code on the fly.

If CONFIG_FTRACE is selected and /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is set to a non-zero value the ftrace routine will be called everytime we enter a kernel function that is not marked with the "notrace" attribute. The ftrace routine will then call a registered function if a function happens to be registered. [ This code has been highly hacked by Steven Rostedt and Ingo Molnar, so don't blame Arnaldo for all of this ;-) ] Update: It is now possible to register more than one ftrace function. If only one ftrace function is registered, that will be the function that ftrace calls directly. If more than one function is registered, then ftrace will call a function that will loop through the functions to call.

The sysenter path tries to enable interrupts immediately. Unfortunately this doesn't work in a paravirt environment, because not enough kernel state has been set up at that point (namely, pointing %fs to the kernel percpu data segment). To fix this, defer ENABLE_INTERRUPTS until after the kernel state has been set up. Unfortunately this means that we're running with interrupts disabled for a while without calling the IRQ tracing code, but that can't be called without setting up %fs either.

This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of functionally related ops: pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init too) pv_misc_ops - lazy mode, which didn't fit well anywhere else pv_time_ops - time-related functions pv_cpu_ops - various privileged instruction ops pv_irq_ops - operations for managing interrupt state pv_apic_ops - APIC operations pv_mmu_ops - operations for managing pagetables There are several motivations for this: 1. Some of these ops will be general to all x86, and some will be i386/x86-64 specific. This makes it easier to share common stuff while allowing separate implementations where needed. 2. At the moment we must export all of paravirt_ops, but modules only need selected parts of it. This allows us to export on a case by case basis (and also choose which export license we want to apply). 3. Functional groupings make things a bit more readable. Struct paravirt_ops is now only used as a template to generate patch-site identifiers, and to extract function pointers for inserting into jmp/calls when patching. It is only instantiated when needed.

Most of the time we can simply use the iret instruction to exit the kernel, rather than having to use the iret hypercall - the only exception is if we're returning into vm86 mode, or from delivering an NMI (which we don't support yet). When running native, iret has the behaviour of testing for a pending interrupt atomically with re-enabling interrupts. Unfortunately there's no way to do this with Xen, so there's a window in which we could get a recursive exception after enabling events but before actually returning to userspace. This causes a problem: if the nested interrupt causes one of the task's TIF_WORK_MASK flags to be set, they will not be checked again before returning to userspace. This means that pending work may be left pending indefinitely, until the process enters and leaves the kernel again. The net effect is that a pending signal or reschedule event could be delayed for an unbounded amount of time. To deal with this, the xen event upcall handler checks to see if the EIP is within the critical section of the iret code, after events are (potentially) enabled up to the iret itself. If its within this range, it calls the iret critical section fixup, which adjusts the stack to deal with any unrestored registers, and then shifts the stack frame up to replace the previous invocation.

This patch is a rollup of all the core pieces of the Xen implementation, including: - booting and setup - pagetable setup - privileged instructions - segmentation - interrupt flags - upcalls - multicall batching BOOTING AND SETUP The vmlinux image is decorated with ELF notes which tell the Xen domain builder what the kernel's requirements are; the domain builder then constructs the address space accordingly and starts the kernel. Xen has its own entrypoint for the kernel (contained in an ELF note). The ELF notes are set up by xen-head.S, which is included into head.S. In principle it could be linked separately, but it seems to provoke lots of binutils bugs. Because the domain builder starts the kernel in a fairly sane state (32-bit protected mode, paging enabled, flat segments set up), there's not a lot of setup needed before starting the kernel proper. The main steps are: 1. Install the Xen paravirt_ops, which is simply a matter of a structure assignment. 2. Set init_mm to use the Xen-supplied pagetables (analogous to the head.S generated pagetables in a native boot). 3. Reserve address space for Xen, since it takes a chunk at the top of the address space for its own use. 4. Call start_kernel() PAGETABLE SETUP Once we hit the main kernel boot sequence, it will end up calling back via paravirt_ops to set up various pieces of Xen specific state. One of the critical things which requires a bit of extra care is the construction of the initial init_mm pagetable. Because Xen places tight constraints on pagetables (an active pagetable must always be valid, and must always be mapped read-only to the guest domain), we need to be careful when constructing the new pagetable to keep these constraints in mind. It turns out that the easiest way to do this is use the initial Xen-provided pagetable as a template, and then just insert new mappings for memory where a mapping doesn't already exist. This means that during pagetable setup, it uses a special version of xen_set_pte which ignores any attempt to remap a read-only page as read-write (since Xen will map its own initial pagetable as RO), but lets other changes to the ptes happen, so that things like NX are set properly. PRIVILEGED INSTRUCTIONS AND SEGMENTATION When the kernel runs under Xen, it runs in ring 1 rather than ring 0. This means that it is more privileged than user-mode in ring 3, but it still can't run privileged instructions directly. Non-performance critical instructions are dealt with by taking a privilege exception and trapping into the hypervisor and emulating the instruction, but more performance-critical instructions have their own specific paravirt_ops. In many cases we can avoid having to do any hypercalls for these instructions, or the Xen implementation is quite different from the normal native version. The privileged instructions fall into the broad classes of: Segmentation: setting up the GDT and the GDT entries, LDT, TLS and so on. Xen doesn't allow the GDT to be directly modified; all GDT updates are done via hypercalls where the new entries can be validated. This is important because Xen uses segment limits to prevent the guest kernel from damaging the hypervisor itself. Traps and exceptions: Xen uses a special format for trap entrypoints, so when the kernel wants to set an IDT entry, it needs to be converted to the form Xen expects. Xen sets int 0x80 up specially so that the trap goes straight from userspace into the guest kernel without going via the hypervisor. sysenter isn't supported. Kernel stack: The esp0 entry is extracted from the tss and provided to Xen. TLB operations: the various TLB calls are mapped into corresponding Xen hypercalls. Control registers: all the control registers are privileged. The most important is cr3, which points to the base of the current pagetable, and we handle it specially. Another instruction we treat specially is CPUID, even though its not privileged. We want to control what CPU features are visible to the rest of the kernel, and so CPUID ends up going into a paravirt_op. Xen implements this mainly to disable the ACPI and APIC subsystems. INTERRUPT FLAGS Xen maintains its own separate flag for masking events, which is contained within the per-cpu vcpu_info structure. Because the guest kernel runs in ring 1 and not 0, the IF flag in EFLAGS is completely ignored (and must be, because even if a guest domain disables interrupts for itself, it can't disable them overall). (A note on terminology: "events" and interrupts are effectively synonymous. However, rather than using an "enable flag", Xen uses a "mask flag", which blocks event delivery when it is non-zero.) There are paravirt_ops for each of cli/sti/save_fl/restore_fl, which are implemented to manage the Xen event mask state. The only thing worth noting is that when events are unmasked, we need to explicitly see if there's a pending event and call into the hypervisor to make sure it gets delivered. UPCALLS Xen needs a couple of upcall (or callback) functions to be implemented by each guest. One is the event upcalls, which is how events (interrupts, effectively) are delivered to the guests. The other is the failsafe callback, which is used to report errors in either reloading a segment register, or caused by iret. These are implemented in i386/kernel/entry.S so they can jump into the normal iret_exc path when necessary. MULTICALL BATCHING Xen provides a multicall mechanism, which allows multiple hypercalls to be issued at once in order to mitigate the cost of trapping into the hypervisor. This is particularly useful for context switches, since the 4-5 hypercalls they would normally need (reload cr3, update TLS, maybe update LDT) can be reduced to one. This patch implements a generic batching mechanism for hypercalls, which gets used in many places in the Xen code.

The commit 635cf99a introduced a regression. Executing a ptrace single step after certain int80 accesses will infinitely loop and never advance the PC. The TIF_SINGLESTEP check should be done on the return from the syscall and not before it. I loops on each single step on the pop right after the int80 which writes out to the console. At that point you can issue as many single steps as you want and it will not advance any further. The test case is below: /* Test whether singlestep through an int80 syscall works. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <asm/user.h> #include <string.h> static int child, status; static struct user_regs_struct regs; static void do_child() { char str[80] = "child: int80 test\n"; ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0, 0, 0); kill(getpid(), SIGUSR1); write(fileno(stdout),str,strlen(str)); asm ("int $0x80" : : "a" (20)); /* getpid */ } static void do_parent() { unsigned long eip, expected = 0; again: waitpid(child, &status, 0); if (WIFEXITED(status) || WIFSIGNALED(status)) return; if (WIFSTOPPED(status)) { ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGS, child, 0, ®s); eip = regs.eip; if (expected) fprintf(stderr, "child stop @ %08lx, expected %08lx %s\n", eip, expected, eip == expected ? "" : " <== ERROR"); if (*(unsigned short *)eip == 0x80cd) { fprintf(stderr, "int 0x80 at %08x\n", (unsigned int)eip); expected = eip + 2; } else expected = 0; ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, child, NULL, NULL); } goto again; } int main(int argc, char * const argv[]) { child = fork(); if (child) do_parent(); else do_child(); return 0; } Signed-off-by: NJason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Cc: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com> Acked-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
