Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily. pt_regs doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary. In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs handling optional by doing the followings. * Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs. * Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless LAZY_GS. Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL even when LAZY_GS. However, it adds no overhead to common exit path and simplifies entry path with error code. * Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS. The lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily. * Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly. xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

Don't conflate sysret and sysexit; they're different instructions with different semantics, and may be in use at the same time (at least within the same kernel, depending on whether its an Intel or AMD system). sysexit - just return to userspace, does no register restoration of any kind; must explicitly atomically enable interrupts. sysret - reloads flags from r11, so no need to explicitly enable interrupts on 64-bit, responsible for restoring usermode %gs Signed-off-by: NJeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citirx.com> Cc: xen-devel <xen-devel@lists.xensource.com> Cc: Stephen Tweedie <sct@redhat.com> Cc: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> Cc: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This patch unifies struct desc_ptr between i386 and x86_64. They can be expressed in the exact same way in C code, only having to change the name of one of them. As Xgt_desc_struct is ugly and big, this is the one that goes away. There's also a padding field in i386, but it is not really needed in the C structure definition.

1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages. 2) It means we don't have to know page_offset. 3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code. 4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset. 5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular). 6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial hypercall give us that, too.

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.

head.S creates the very initial pagetable for the kernel. This just maps enough space for the kernel itself, and an allocation bitmap. The amount of mapped memory is rounded up to 4Mbytes, and so this typically ends up mapping 8Mbytes of memory. When booting, pagetable_init() needs to create mappings for all lowmem, and the pagetables for these mappings are allocated from the free pages around the kernel in low memory. If the number of pagetable pages + kernel size exceeds head.S's initial mapping, it will end up faulting on an unmapped page. This will only happen with specific combinations of kernel size and memory size. This patch makes sure that head.S also maps enough space to fit the kernel pagetables as well as the kernel itself. It ends up using an additional two pages of unreclaimable memory. Signed-off-by: NJeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xensource.com> Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Acked-by: N"H.

Currently x86 (similar to x84-64) has a special per-cpu structure called "i386_pda" which can be easily and efficiently referenced via the %fs register. An ELF section is more flexible than a structure, allowing any piece of code to use this area. Indeed, such a section already exists: the per-cpu area. So this patch: (1) Removes the PDA and uses per-cpu variables for each current member. (2) Replaces the __KERNEL_PDA segment with __KERNEL_PERCPU. (3) Creates a per-cpu mirror of __per_cpu_offset called this_cpu_off, which can be used to calculate addresses for this CPU's variables. (4) Simplifies startup, because %fs doesn't need to be loaded with a special segment at early boot; it can be deferred until the first percpu area is allocated (or never for UP). The result is less code and one less x86-specific concept.

Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for per-processor data. This is because some processors show a small but measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is). On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable. Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much. This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to match the changed struct pt_regs.

This patch is the meat of the PDA change. This patch makes several related changes: 1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel. This means that on entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with __KERNEL_PDA. 2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register state can be accessed. Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs (or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space). 3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the register state in a signal context. 4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.

Move the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it. Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do single-stepping and other debugging features. It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the VDSO). There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO. Newer distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off. Turning it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore. There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned on/off. (This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.) This code is a combined work of the exec-shield VDSO randomization code and Gerd Hoffmann's hypervisor-centric VDSO patch. Rusty Russell started this patch and i completed it.

Up until now algorithms have been happy to get a context pointer since they know everything that's in the tfm already (e.g., alignment, block size). However, once we have parameterised algorithms, such information will be specific to each tfm. So the algorithm API needs to be changed to pass the tfm structure instead of the context pointer. This patch is basically a text substitution. The only tricky bit is the assembly routines that need to get the context pointer offset through asm-offsets.h.

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!
