      [PATCH] seccomp: tsc disable · ffaa8bd6
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      I believe at least for seccomp it's worth to turn off the tsc, not just for
      HT but for the L2 cache too.  So it's up to you, either you turn it off
      completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below
      patch.
      
      This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito
      repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;).  People selling
      the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind.
      
      There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied
      (gettimeofday is forbidden of course).  The seccomp environment is
      completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has
      to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that
      does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent
      checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3
      seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now
      the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no
      checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the
      dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished).
      
      Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one
      cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the
      same time.  Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't
      per-cpu-safe.
      
      The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but
      it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any
      change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code
      and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race.  So no need to
      disable irqs in switch_to slow path.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
