2022-02-22x86: clean up symbol aliasingMark Rutland1-5/+5
Now that we have SYM_FUNC_ALIAS() and SYM_FUNC_ALIAS_WEAK(), use those to simplify the definition of function aliases across arch/x86. For clarity, where there are multiple annotations such as EXPORT_SYMBOL(), I've tried to keep annotations grouped by symbol. For example, where a function has a name and an alias which are both exported, this is organised as: SYM_FUNC_START(func) ... asm insns ... SYM_FUNC_END(func) EXPORT_SYMBOL(func) SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(alias, func) EXPORT_SYMBOL(alias) Where there are only aliases and no exports or other annotations, I have not bothered with line spacing, e.g. SYM_FUNC_START(func) ... asm insns ... SYM_FUNC_END(func) SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(alias, func) The tools/perf/ copies of memset_64.S and memset_64.S are updated likewise to avoid the build system complaining these are mismatched: | Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S' | diff -u tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S | Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S' | diff -u tools/arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Commit 393f203f5fd5 ("x86_64: kasan: add interceptors for memset/memmove/memcpy functions") added .weak directives to arch/x86/lib/mem*_64.S instead of changing the existing ENTRY macros to WEAK. This can lead to the assembly snippet .weak memcpy ... .globl memcpy which will produce a STB_WEAK memcpy with GNU as but STB_GLOBAL memcpy with LLVM's integrated assembler before LLVM 12. LLVM 12 (since https://reviews.llvm.org/D90108) will error on such an overridden symbol binding. Commit ef1e03152cb0 ("x86/asm: Make some functions local") changed ENTRY in arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S to SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL, which was ineffective due to the preceding .weak directive.

2020-10-06x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}()Dan Williams1-115/+0
In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast() implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults / exceptions are handled. Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic() implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this case: On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 11:28 AM Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> wrote: > > On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 6:21 PM Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> wrote: > > > > However now I see that copy_user_generic() works for the wrong reason. > > It works because the exception on the source address due to poison > > looks no different than a write fault on the user address to the > > caller, it's still just a short copy.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel(). Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch. One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

Given the fact that the ACPI "EINJ" (error injection) facility is not universally available, implement software infrastructure to validate the memcpy_mcsafe() exception handling implementation. For each potential read exception point in memcpy_mcsafe(), inject a emulated exception point at the address identified by 'mcsafe_inject' variable. With this infrastructure implement a test to validate that the 'bytes remaining' calculation is correct for a range of various source buffer alignments. This code is compiled out by default. The CONFIG_MCSAFE_DEBUG configuration symbol needs to be manually enabled by editing Kconfig.debug. I.e. this functionality can not be accidentally enabled by a user / distro, it's only for development.

2018-05-15x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Add write-protection-fault handlingDan Williams1-0/+14
In preparation for using memcpy_mcsafe() to handle user copies it needs to be to handle write-protection faults while writing user pages. Add MMU-fault handlers alongside the machine-check exception handlers. Note that the machine check fault exception handling makes assumptions about source buffer alignment and poison alignment. In the write fault case, given the destination buffer is arbitrarily aligned, it needs a separate / additional fault handling approach. The mcsafe_handle_tail() helper is reused. The @limit argument is set to @len since there is no safety concern about retriggering an MMU fault, and this simplifies the assembly.

Machine check safe memory copies are currently deployed in the pmem driver whenever reading from persistent memory media, so that -EIO is returned rather than triggering a kernel panic. While this protects most pmem accesses, it is not complete in the filesystem-dax case. When filesystem-dax is enabled reads may bypass the block layer and the driver via dax_iomap_actor() and its usage of copy_to_iter(). In preparation for creating a copy_to_iter() variant that can handle machine checks, teach memcpy_mcsafe() to return the number of bytes remaining rather than -EFAULT when an exception occurs.

In preparation for adding that exception handling update the labels for the read cache word X case (.L_cache_rX) and write cache word X case (.L_cache_wX).

In preparation for teaching memcpy_mcsafe() to return 'bytes remaining' rather than pass / fail, simplify the implementation to remove loop unrolling.

Make use of the EXTABLE_FAULT exception table entries to write a kernel copy routine that doesn't crash the system if it encounters a machine check. Prime use case for this is to copy from large arrays of non-volatile memory used as storage. We have to use an unrolled copy loop for now because current hardware implementations treat a machine check in "rep mov" as fatal. When that is fixed we can simplify. Return type is a "bool". True means that we copied OK, false means that it didn't.

2015-06-02x86/debug: Remove perpetually broken, unmaintainable dwarf annotationsIngo Molnar1-3/+0
So the dwarf2 annotations in low level assembly code have become an increasing hindrance: unreadable, messy macros mixed into some of the most security sensitive code paths of the Linux kernel. These debug info annotations don't even buy the upstream kernel anything: dwarf driven stack unwinding has caused problems in the past so it's out of tree, and the upstream kernel only uses the much more robust framepointers based stack unwinding method. In addition to that there's a steady, slow bitrot going on with these annotations, requiring frequent fixups. There's no tooling and no functionality upstream that keeps it correct. So burn down the sick forest, allowing new, healthier growth: 27 files changed, 350 insertions(+), 1101 deletions(-) Someone who has the willingness and time to do this properly can attempt to reintroduce dwarf debuginfo in x86 assembly code plus dwarf unwinding from first principles, with the following conditions: - it should be maximally readable, and maximally low-key to 'ordinary' code reading and maintenance. - find a build time method to insert dwarf annotations automatically in the most common cases, for pop/push instructions that manipulate the stack pointer. This could be done for example via a preprocessing step that just looks for common patterns - plus special annotations for the few cases where we want to depart from the default. We have hundreds of CFI annotations, so automating most of that makes sense. - it should come with build tooling checks that ensure that CFI annotations are sensible. We've seen such efforts from the framepointer side, and there's no reason it couldn't be done on the dwarf side.

2015-02-23x86/alternatives: Add instruction paddingBorislav Petkov1-2/+2
Up until now we have always paid attention to make sure the length of the new instruction replacing the old one is at least less or equal to the length of the old instruction. If the new instruction is longer, at the time it replaces the old instruction it will overwrite the beginning of the next instruction in the kernel image and cause your pants to catch fire. So instead of having to pay attention, teach the alternatives framework to pad shorter old instructions with NOPs at buildtime - but only in the case when len(old instruction(s)) < len(new instruction(s)) and add nothing in the >= case. (In that case we do add_nops() when patching). This way the alternatives user shouldn't have to care about instruction sizes and simply use the macros. Add asm ALTERNATIVE* flavor macros too, while at it. Also, we need to save the pad length in a separate struct alt_instr member for NOP optimization and the way to do that reliably is to carry the pad length instead of trying to detect whether we're looking at single-byte NOPs or at pathological instruction offsets like e9 90 90 90 90, for example, which is a valid instruction.

2015-02-14x86_64: kasan: add interceptors for memset/memmove/memcpy functionsAndrey Ryabinin1-2/+4
Recently instrumentation of builtin functions calls was removed from GCC 5.0. To check the memory accessed by such functions, userspace asan always uses interceptors for them. So now we should do this as well. This patch declares memset/memmove/memcpy as weak symbols. In mm/kasan/kasan.c we have our own implementation of those functions which checks memory before accessing it. Default memset/memmove/memcpy now now always have aliases with '__' prefix. For files that built without kasan instrumentation (e.g. mm/slub.c) original mem* replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants, cause we don't want to check memory accesses there.

2010-08-24x86, mem: Optimize memcpy by avoiding memory false dependeceMa Ling1-55/+103
All read operations after allocation stage can run speculatively, all write operation will run in program order, and if addresses are different read may run before older write operation, otherwise wait until write commit. However CPU don't check each address bit, so read could fail to recognize different address even they are in different page.For example if rsi is 0xf004, rdi is 0xe008, in following operation there will generate big performance latency. 1. movq (%rsi), %rax 2. movq %rax, (%rdi) 3. movq 8(%rsi), %rax 4. movq %rax, 8(%rdi) If %rsi and rdi were in really the same meory page, there are TRUE read-after-write dependence because instruction 2 write 0x008 and instruction 3 read 0x00c, the two address are overlap partially. Actually there are in different page and no any issues, but without checking each address bit CPU could think they are in the same page, and instruction 3 have to wait for instruction 2 to write data into cache from write buffer, then load data from cache, the cost time read spent is equal to mfence instruction. We may avoid it by tuning operation sequence as follow. 1. movq 8(%rsi), %rax 2. movq %rax, 8(%rdi) 3. movq (%rsi), %rax 4. movq %rax, (%rdi) Instruction 3 read 0x004, instruction 2 write address 0x010, no any dependence. At last on Core2 we gain 1.83x speedup compared with original instruction sequence. In this patch we first handle small size(less 20bytes), then jump to different copy mode. Based on our micro-benchmark small bytes from 1 to 127 bytes, we got up to 2X improvement, and up to 1.5X improvement for 1024 bytes on Corei7.

2009-12-30x86-64: Modify memcpy()/memset() alternatives mechanismJan Beulich1-15/+8
In order to avoid unnecessary chains of branches, rather than implementing memcpy()/memset()'s access to their alternative implementations via a jump, patch the (larger) original function directly. The memcpy() part of this is slightly subtle: while alternative instruction patching does itself use memcpy(), with the replacement block being less than 64-bytes in size the main loop of the original function doesn't get used for copying memcpy_c() over memcpy(), and hence we can safely write over its beginning. Also note that the CFI annotations are fine for both variants of each of the functions.
