2015-10-14x86/asm: Remove the xyz_cfi macros from dwarf2.hAndy Lutomirski1-93/+0
They are currently unused, and I don't think that anyone was ever particularly happy with them. They had the unfortunate property that they made it easy to CFI-annotate things without thinking about them -- when pushing, do you want to just update the CFA offset, or do you also want to update the saved location of the register being pushed?

2015-10-09x86/entry: Split and inline syscall_return_slowpath()Andy Lutomirski1-21/+29
GCC is unable to properly optimize functions that have a very short likely case and a longer and register-heavier cold part -- it fails to sink all of the register saving and stack frame setup code into the unlikely part. Help it out with syscall_return_slowpath() by splitting it into two parts and inline the hot part. Saves 6 cycles for compat syscalls.

2015-10-09x86/entry/compat: Implement opportunistic SYSRETL for compat syscallsAndy Lutomirski2-5/+60
If CS, SS and IP are as expected and FLAGS is compatible with SYSRETL, then return from fast compat syscalls (both SYSCALL and SYSENTER) using SYSRETL. Unlike native 64-bit opportunistic SYSRET, this is not invisible to user code: RCX and R8-R15 end up in a different state than shown saved in pt_regs. To compensate, we only do this when returning to the vDSO fast syscall return path. This won't interfere with syscall restart, as we won't use SYSRETL when returning to the INT80 restart instruction.

2015-10-09x86/entry/64/compat: Set up full pt_regs for all compat syscallsAndy Lutomirski3-40/+20
This is conceptually simpler. More importantly, it eliminates the PTREGSCALL and execve stubs, which were not compatible with the C ABI. This means that C code can call through the compat syscall table. The execve stubs are a bit subtle. They did two things: they cleared some registers and they forced slow-path return. Neither is necessary any more: elf_common_init clears the extra registers and start_thread calls force_iret().

2015-10-09x86/vdso/32: Save extra registers in the INT80 vsyscall pathAndy Lutomirski3-1/+26
The goal is to integrate the SYSENTER and SYSCALL32 entry paths with the INT80 path. SYSENTER clobbers ESP and EIP. SYSCALL32 clobbers ECX (and, invisibly, R11). SYSRETL (long mode to compat mode) clobbers ECX and, invisibly, R11. SYSEXIT (which we only need for native 32-bit) clobbers ECX and EDX. This means that we'll need to provide ESP to the kernel in a register (I chose ECX, since it's only needed for SYSENTER) and we need to provide the args that normally live in ECX and EDX in memory. The epilogue needs to restore ECX and EDX, since user code relies on regs being preserved. We don't need to do anything special about EIP, since the kernel already knows where we are. The kernel will eventually need to know where int $0x80 lands, so add a vdso_image entry for it. The only user-visible effect of this code is that ptrace-induced changes to ECX and EDX during fast syscalls will be lost. This is already the case for the SYSENTER path.

2015-10-09x86/vdso: Replace hex int80 CFI annotations with GAS directivesAndy Lutomirski1-40/+8
Maintaining the current CFI annotations written in R'lyehian is difficult for most of us. Translate them to something a little closer to English. This will remove the CFI data for kernels built with extremely old versions of binutils. I think this is a fair tradeoff for the ability for mortals to edit the asm.

2015-10-07Revert "fs: do not prefault sys_write() user buffer pages"Linus Torvalds1-18/+16
This reverts commit 998ef75ddb5709bbea0bf1506cd2717348a3c647. The commit itself does not appear to be buggy per se, but it is exposing a bug in ext4 (and Ted thinks ext3 too, but we solved that by getting rid of it). It's too late in the release cycle to really worry about this, even if Dave Hansen has a patch that may actually fix the underlying ext4 problem. We can (and should) revisit this for the next release. The problem is that moving the prefaulting later now exposes a special case with partially successful writes that isn't handled correctly. And the prefaulting likely isn't normally even that much of a performance issue - it looks like at least one reason Dave saw this in his performance tests is that he also ran them on Skylake that now supports the new SMAP code, which makes the normally very cheap user space prefaulting noticeably more expensive.

With commit 633d6f17cd91ad5bf2370265946f716e42d388c6 (x86/xen: prepare p2m list for memory hotplug) the P2M may be sized to accomdate a much larger amount of memory than the domain currently has. When saving a domain, the toolstack must scan all the P2M looking for populated pages. This results in a performance regression due to the unnecessary scanning. Instead of reporting (via shared_info) the maximum possible size of the P2M, hint at the last PFN which might be populated. This hint is increased as new leaves are added to the P2M (in the expectation that they will be used for populated entries).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf. Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on the pull request, which is why it's going in only now. The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems. strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an overlong result. To make matters worse, it pads a short result with zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers. strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value which returns the original length of the source string. Which means that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and you have to trust the source to be properly terminated. It also makes error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily subtle. strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination (but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG. It also doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for untrusted source data too. So why did I waffle about this for so long? Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing these interminable series of trivial conversion patches. And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse. Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested. So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface. But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches. Use this in places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things that aren't actually known to be broken. * 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile: tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy string: provide strscpy() Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures
