      um: Save FPU registers between task switches · fbfe9c84
      Ingo van Lil 提交于
      Some time ago Jeff prepared 42daba31 ("uml: stop saving process FP
      state") for UML to stop saving the process FP state between task
      switches.  The assumption was that since with SKAS0 every guest process
      runs inside a host process context the host OS will take care of keeping
      the proper FP state.
      
      Unfortunately this is not true for multi-threaded applications, where
      all guest threads share a single host process context yet all may use
      the FPU on their own.  Although I haven't verified it I suspect things
      to be even worse in SKAS3 mode where all guest processes run inside a
      single host process.
      
      The patch reintroduces the saving and restoring of the FP context
      between task switches.
      
      [richard@nod.at: Ingo posted this patch in 2009, sadly it was never applied
      and got lost. Now in 2011 the problem was reported by Gunnar.]

      uml: fix stub address calculations · 54ae36f2
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      The calculation of CONFIG_STUB_CODE and CONFIG_STUB_DATA didn't take into
      account anything but 3G/1G and 2G/2G, leaving the other vmsplits out in the
      cold.
      
      I'd rather not duplicate the four known host vmsplit cases for each of these
      symbols.  I'd also like to calculate them based on the highest userspace
      address.
      
      The Kconfig language seems not to allow calculation of hex constants, so I
      moved this to as-layout.h.  CONFIG_STUB_CODE, CONFIG_STUB_DATA, and
      CONFIG_STUB_START are now gone.  In their place are STUB_CODE, STUB_DATA, and
      STUB_START in as-layout.h.
      
      i386 and x86_64 seem to differ as to whether an unadorned constant is an int
      or a long, so I cast them to unsigned long so they can be printed
      consistently.  However, they are also used in stub.S, where C types don't work
      so well.  So, there are ASM_ versions of these constants for use in stub.S.  I
      also ifdef-ed the non-asm-friendly portion of as-layout.h.
      
      With this in place, most of the rest of this patch is changing CONFIG_STUB_*
      to STUB_*, except in stub.S, where they are changed to ASM_STUB_*.
      
      defconfig has the old symbols deleted.
      
      I also print these addresses out in case there is any problem mapping them on
      the host.
      
      The two stub.S files had some trailing whitespace, so that is cleaned up here.

      Jeff Dike 提交于
      This patch makes a number of simplifications enabled by the removal of

      	int foo(args){
      		foo_skas(args);
      	}

      sometimes entire header files) are deleted.
      
      In addition, the union uml_pt_regs, which was a union between the tt and skas
      register formats, is now a struct, with the tt-mode arm of the union being
      removed.

      uml: stop saving process FP state · 42daba31
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      Throw out a lot of code dealing with saving and restoring floating-point
      state.  In skas mode, where processes run in a restoring floating-point state
      on kernel entry and exit is pointless.
      
      This eliminates most of arch/um/os-Linux/sys-{i386,x86_64}/registers.c.  Most
      of what remained is now arch-indpendent, and can be moved up to
      arch/um/os-Linux/registers.c.  Both arches need the jmp_buf accessor
      get_thread_reg, and i386 needs {save,restore}_fp_regs because it cheats during
      sigreturn by getting the fp state using ptrace rather than copying it out of
      the process sigcontext.
      
      After this, it turns out that arch/um/include/skas/mode-skas.h is almost
      completely unneeded.  The declarations in it are variables which either don't
      exist or which don't have global scope.  The one exception is
      kill_off_processes_skas.  If that's removed, this header can be deleted.
      
      This uncovered a bug in user.h, which wasn't correctly making sure that a
      size_t definition was available to both userspace and kernelspace files.

      uml: more page fault path trimming · 16dd07bc
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      More trimming of the page fault path.
      
      Permissions are passed around in a single int rather than one bit per
      int.  The permission values are copied from libc so that they can be
      passed to mmap and mprotect without any further conversion.
      
      The register sets used by do_syscall_stub and copy_context_skas0 are
      initialized once, at boot time, rather than once per call.
      
      wait_stub_done checks whether it is getting the signals it expects by
      comparing the wait status to a mask containing bits for the signals of
      interest rather than comparing individually to the signal numbers.  It
      also has one check for a wait failure instead of two.  The caller is
      expected to do the initial continue of the stub.  This gets rid of an
      argument and some logic.  The fname argument is gone, as that can be
      had from a stack trace.
      
      user_signal() is collapsed into userspace() as it is basically one or
      two lines of code afterwards.
      
      The physical memory remapping stuff is gone, as it is unused.

      Give the page fault code a specialized path.  There is only one page to look

      Jeff Dike 提交于
      This patch uses MAX_REG_NR consistently to refer to the register file size.
       FRAME_SIZE isn't sufficient because on x86_64, it is smaller than the
      ptrace register file size.  MAX_REG_NR was introduced as a consistent way
      to get the number of registers, but wasn't used everywhere it should be.
      
      When this causes a problem, it makes PTRACE_SETREGS fail on x86_64 because
      of a corrupted segment register value in the known-good register file.  The

      [PATCH] uml: TLB operation batching · c5600490
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      This adds VM op batching to skas0.  Rather than having a context switch to and
      from the userspace stub for each address space change, we write a number of
      operations to the stub data page and invoke a different stub which loops over
      them and executes them all in one go.
      
      The operations are stored as [ system call number, arg1, arg2, ... ] tuples.
      
      The set is terminated by a system call number of 0.  Single operations, i.e.
      page faults, are handled in the old way, since that is slightly more
      efficient.
      
      For a kernel build, a minority (~1/4) of the operations are part of a set.
      These sets averaged ~100 in length, so for this quarter, the context switching
      overhead is greatly reduced.

      [PATCH] uml: skas0 - separate kernel address space on stock hosts · d67b569f
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      UML has had two modes of operation - an insecure, slow mode (tt mode) in
      which the kernel is mapped into every process address space which requires
      no host kernel modifications, and a secure, faster mode (skas mode) in
      which the UML kernel is in a separate host address space, which requires a
      patch to the host kernel.
      
      This patch implements something very close to skas mode for hosts which
      don't support skas - I'm calling this skas0.  It provides the security of
      the skas host patch, and some of the performance gains.
      
      The two main things that are provided by the skas patch, /proc/mm and
      PTRACE_FAULTINFO, are implemented in a way that require no host patch.
      
      For the remote address space changing stuff (mmap, munmap, and mprotect),
      we set aside two pages in the process above its stack, one of which
      contains a little bit of code which can call mmap et al.
      
      To update the address space, the system call information (system call
      number and arguments) are written to the stub page above the code.  The
      %esp is set to the beginning of the data, the %eip is set the the start of
      the stub, and it repeatedly pops the information into its registers and
      makes the system call until it sees a system call number of zero.  This is
      to amortize the cost of the context switch across multiple address space
      updates.
      
      When the updates are done, it SIGSTOPs itself, and the kernel process
      continues what it was doing.
      
      For a PTRACE_FAULTINFO replacement, we set up a SIGSEGV handler in the
      child, and let it handle segfaults rather than nullifying them.  The
      handler is in the same page as the mmap stub.  The second page is used as
      the stack.  The handler reads cr2 and err from the sigcontext, sticks them
      at the base of the stack in a faultinfo struct, and SIGSTOPs itself.  The
      kernel then reads the faultinfo and handles the fault.
      
      A complication on x86_64 is that this involves resetting the registers to
      the segfault values when the process is inside the kill system call.  This
      breaks on x86_64 because %rcx will contain %rip because you tell SYSRET
      where to return to by putting the value in %rcx.  So, this corrupts $rcx on
      return from the segfault.  To work around this, I added an
      arch_finish_segv, which on x86 does nothing, but which on x86_64 ptraces
      the child back through the sigreturn.  This causes %rcx to be restored by
      sigreturn and avoids the corruption.  Ultimately, I think I will replace
      this with the trick of having it send itself a blocked signal which will be
      unblocked by the sigreturn.  This will allow it to be stopped just after
      the sigreturn, and PTRACE_SYSCALLed without all the back-and-forth of
      PTRACE_SYSCALLing it through sigreturn.
      
      This runs on a stock host, so theoretically (and hopefully), tt mode isn't
      needed any more.  We need to make sure that this is better in every way
      than tt mode, though.  I'm concerned about the speed of address space
      updates and page fault handling, since they involve extra round-trips to
      the child.  We can amortize the round-trip cost for large address space
      updates by writing all of the operations to the data page and having the
      child execute them all at the same time.  This will help fork and exec, but
      not page faults, since they involve only one page.
      
      I can't think of any way to help page faults, except to add something like
      PTRACE_FAULTINFO to the host.  There is PTRACE_SIGINFO, but UML doesn't use
      siginfo for SIGSEGV (or anything else) because there isn't enough
      information in the siginfo struct to handle page faults (the faulting
      operation type is missing).  Adding that would make PTRACE_SIGINFO a usable
      equivalent to PTRACE_FAULTINFO.
      
      As for the code itself:
      
      - The system call stub is in arch/um/kernel/sys-$(SUBARCH)/stub.S.  It is
        put in its own section of the binary along with stub_segv_handler in
        arch/um/kernel/skas/process.c.  This is manipulated with run_syscall_stub
        in arch/um/kernel/skas/mem_user.c.  syscall_stub will execute any system
        call at all, but it's only used for mmap, munmap, and mprotect.
      
      - The x86_64 stub calls sigreturn by hand rather than allowing the normal
        sigreturn to happen, because the normal sigreturn is a SA_RESTORER in
        UML's address space provided by libc.  Needless to say, this is not
        available in the child's address space.  Also, it does a couple of odd
        pops before that which restore the stack to the state it was in at the
        time the signal handler was called.
      
      - There is a new field in the arch mmu_context, which is now a union.
        This is the pid to be manipulated rather than the /proc/mm file
        descriptor.  Code which deals with this now checks proc_mm to see whether
        it should use the usual skas code or the new code.
      
      - userspace_tramp is now used to create a new host process for every UML
        process, rather than one per UML processor.  It checks proc_mm and
        ptrace_faultinfo to decide whether to map in the pages above its stack.
      
      - start_userspace now makes CLONE_VM conditional on proc_mm since we need
        separate address spaces now.
      
      - switch_mm_skas now just sets userspace_pid[0] to the new pid rather
        than PTRACE_SWITCH_MM.  There is an addition to userspace which updates
        its idea of the pid being manipulated each time around the loop.  This is
        important on exec, when the pid will change underneath userspace().
      
      - The stub page has a pte, but it can't be mapped in using tlb_flush
        because it is part of tlb_flush.  This is why it's required for it to be
        mapped in by userspace_tramp.
      
      Other random things:
      
      - The stub section in uml.lds.S is page aligned.  This page is written
        out to the backing vm file in setup_physmem because it is mapped from
        there into user processes.
      
      - There's some confusion with TASK_SIZE now that there are a couple of
        extra pages that the process can't use.  TASK_SIZE is considered by the
        elf code to be the usable process memory, which is reasonable, so it is
        decreased by two pages.  This confuses the definition of
        USER_PGDS_IN_LAST_PML4, making it too small because of the rounding down
        of the uneven division.  So we round it to the nearest PGDIR_SIZE rather
        than the lower one.
      
      - I added a missing PT_SYSCALL_ARG6_OFFSET macro.
      
      - um_mmu.h was made into a userspace-usable file.
      
      - proc_mm and ptrace_faultinfo are globals which say whether the host
        supports these features.
      
      - There is a bad interaction between the mm.nr_ptes check at the end of
        exit_mmap, stack randomization, and skas0.  exit_mmap will stop freeing
        pages at the PGDIR_SIZE boundary after the last vma.  If the stack isn't
        on the last page table page, the last pte page won't be freed, as it
        should be since the stub ptes are there, and exit_mmap will BUG because
        there is an unfreed page.  To get around this, TASK_SIZE is set to the
        next lowest PGDIR_SIZE boundary and mm->nr_ptes is decremented after the
        calls to init_stub_pte.  This ensures that we know the process stack (and
        all other process mappings) will be below the top page table page, and
        thus we know that mm->nr_ptes will be one too many, and can be
        decremented.
      
      Things that need fixing:
      
      - We may need better assurrences that the stub code is PIC.
      
      - The stub pte is set up in init_new_context_skas.
      
      - alloc_pgdir is probably the right place.

      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!
