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.

Packing loops tightly (-falign-loops=1) is beneficial to code size:
text data bss dec filename
12566391 1617840 1089536 15273767 vmlinux.align.16-byte
12224951 1617840 1089536 14932327 vmlinux.align.1-byte
11976567 1617840 1089536 14683943 vmlinux.align.1-byte.funcs-1-byte
11903735 1617840 1089536 14611111 vmlinux.align.1-byte.funcs-1-byte.loops-1-byte
Which reduces the size of the kernel by another 0.6%, so the
the total combined size reduction of the alignment-packing
patches is ~5.5%.
The x86 decoder bandwidth and caching arguments laid out in:
be6cb02779ca ("x86: Align jump targets to 1-byte boundaries")
apply to loop alignment as well.
Furtermore, modern CPU uarchs have a loop cache/buffer that
is a L0 cache before even any uop cache, covering a few
dozen most recently executed instructions.
This loop cache generally does not have the 16-byte alignment
restrictions of the uop cache.
Now loop alignment can still be beneficial if:
- a loop is cache-hot and its surroundings are not.
- if the loop is so cache hot that the instruction
flow becomes x86 decoder bandwidth limited
But loop alignment is harmful if:
- a loop is cache-cold
- a loop's surroundings are cache-hot as well
- two cache-hot loops are close to each other
- if the loop fits into the loop cache
- if the code flow is not decoder bandwidth limited
and I'd argue that the latter five scenarios are much
more common in the kernel, as our hottest loops are
typically:
- pointer chasing: this should fit into the loop cache
in most cases and is typically data cache and address
generation limited
- generic memory ops (memset, memcpy, etc.): these generally
fit into the loop cache as well, and are likewise data
cache limited.
So this patch packs loop addresses tightly as well.

The following NOP in a hot function caught my attention:
> 5a: 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopw 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
That's a dead NOP that bloats the function a bit, added for the
default 16-byte alignment that GCC applies for jump targets.
I realize that x86 CPU manufacturers recommend 16-byte jump
target alignments (it's in the Intel optimization manual),
to help their relatively narrow decoder prefetch alignment
and uop cache constraints, but the cost of that is very
significant:
text data bss dec filename
12566391 1617840 1089536 15273767 vmlinux.align.16-byte
12224951 1617840 1089536 14932327 vmlinux.align.1-byte
By using 1-byte jump target alignment (i.e. no alignment at all)
we get an almost 3% reduction in kernel size (!) - and a
probably similar reduction in I$ footprint.
Now, the usual justification for jump target alignment is the
following:
- modern decoders tend to have 16-byte (effective) decoder
prefetch windows. (AMD documents it higher but measurements
suggest the effective prefetch window on curretn uarchs is
still around 16 bytes)
- on Intel there's also the uop-cache with cachelines that have
16-byte granularity and limited associativity.
- older x86 uarchs had a penalty for decoder fetches that crossed
16-byte boundaries. These limits are mostly gone from recent
uarchs.
So if a forward jump target is aligned to cacheline boundary then
prefetches will start from a new prefetch-cacheline and there's
higher chance for decoding in fewer steps and packing tightly.
But I think that argument is flawed for typical optimized kernel
code flows: forward jumps often go to 'cold' (uncommon) pieces
of code, and aligning cold code to cache lines does not bring a
lot of advantages (they are uncommon), while it causes
collateral damage:
- their alignment 'spreads out' the cache footprint, it shifts
followup hot code further out
- plus it slows down even 'cold' code that immediately follows 'hot'
code (like in the above case), which could have benefited from the
partial cacheline that comes off the end of hot code.
But even in the cache-hot case the 16 byte alignment brings
disadvantages:
- it spreads out the cache footprint, possibly making the code
fall out of the L1 I$.
- On Intel CPUs, recent microarchitectures have plenty of
uop cache (typically doubling every 3 years) - while the
size of the L1 cache grows much less aggressively. So
workloads are rarely uop cache limited.
The only situation where alignment might matter are tight
loops that could fit into a single 16 byte chunk - but those
are pretty rare in the kernel: if they exist they tend
to be pointer chasing or generic memory ops, which both tend
to be cache miss (or cache allocation) intensive and are not
decoder bandwidth limited.
So the balance of arguments strongly favors packing kernel
instructions tightly versus maximizing for decoder bandwidth:
this patch changes the jump target alignment from 16 bytes
to 1 byte (tightly packed, unaligned).

GCC 5 added a compiler option, -mskip-rax-setup, for x86-64. It skips
setting up the RAX register when SSE is disabled and there are no
variable arguments passed in vector registers. (According to the x86_64
ABI, %al is used as a hidden register containing the number of vector
registers used).
Since the kernel doesn't pass vector registers to functions with
variable arguments, this option can be used to optimize the x86-64
kernel.
This GCC feature was suggested by Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>.
This is the corresponding kernel change using it.
For kernel v3.17:

Prior to this commit, it was impossible to use relative path to
include Makefiles from the top level Makefile because the option
"--include-dir=$(srctree)" becomes effective when Make enters into
sub Makefiles.
To use relative path in any places, this commit moves the option
above the "sub-make" target.

The options -mno-mmx and -mno-sse are unconditionally added to
KBUILD_CFLAGS in both branches of an ifeq and through a
$(cc-option) further down. We can safely remove the first
instances.
In fact, since the -mno-mmx and -mno-sse options were introduced
simultaneous with the other two options in the $(cc-option)
[according to http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-3.1/changes.html],
and since the former were unconditionally used, one can deduce that
only gcc versions knowing about all four are supported. So also
eliminate the $(cc-option) wrap.

Currently new system call kexec_file_load() and all the associated code
compiles if CONFIG_KEXEC=y. But new syscall also compiles purgatory
code which currently uses gcc option -mcmodel=large. This option seems
to be available only gcc 4.4 onwards.
Hiding new functionality behind a new config option will not break
existing users of old gcc. Those who wish to enable new functionality
will require new gcc. Having said that, I am trying to figure out how
can I move away from using -mcmodel=large but that can take a while.
I think there are other advantages of introducing this new config
option. As this option will be enabled only on x86_64, other arches
don't have to compile generic kexec code which will never be used. This
new code selects CRYPTO=y and CRYPTO_SHA256=y. And all other arches had
to do this for CONFIG_KEXEC. Now with introduction of new config
option, we can remove crypto dependency from other arches.
Now CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is available only on x86_64. So whereever I had
CONFIG_X86_64 defined, I got rid of that.
For CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE, instead of doing select CRYPTO=y, I changed it to
"depends on CRYPTO=y". This should be safer as "select" is not
recursive.

Create a stand alone relocatable object purgatory which runs between two
kernels. This name, concept and some code has been taken from
kexec-tools. Idea is that this code runs after a crash and it runs in
minimal environment. So keep it separate from rest of the kernel and in
long term we will have to practically do no maintenance of this code.
This code also has the logic to do verify sha256 hashes of various
segments which have been loaded into memory. So first we verify that the
kernel we are jumping to is fine and has not been corrupted and make
progress only if checsums are verified.
This code also takes care of copying some memory contents to backup region.

If you are using a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userland, then
scripts/gcc-x86_64-has-stack-protector.sh invokes 32-bit gcc
with -mcmodel=kernel, which produces:
<stdin>:1:0: error: code model 'kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode
and trips the "broken compiler" test at arch/x86/Makefile:120.
There are several places a fix is possible, but the following seems
cleanest. (But it's minimal; it would also be possible to factor
out a bunch of stuff from the two branches of the if.)

We recently had the case where wrongly used floating-constant 'E' caused
the generation of traditional x87 instructions in kernel code and
wreaking all kinds of havoc.
Disable the generation of those too. This will save people a lot of time
when trying to debug such issues by erroring out of the build instead of
let them manifest themselves in very spectacular and happy-crappy ways
at runtime.
We're using -mno-fp-ret-in-387 in addition to -mno-80387 (which is ==
-msoft-float) because, as the gcc manpage says:
On machines where a function returns floating-point results in the
80387 register stack, some floating-point opcodes may be emitted even
if -msoft-float is used.
so we want to turn off *all* non-integer instructions involving any
architectural FPU state, unless it is absolutely necessary (and those
cases need special handling anyway).

In checkin
5551a34e5aea x86-64, build: Always pass in -mno-sse
we unconditionally added -mno-sse to the main build, to keep newer
compilers from generating SSE instructions from autovectorization.
However, this did not extend to the special environments
(arch/x86/boot, arch/x86/boot/compressed, and arch/x86/realmode/rm).
Add -mno-sse to the compiler command line for these environments, and
add -mno-mmx to all the environments as well, as we don't want a
compiler to generate MMX code either.
This patch also removes a $(cc-option) call for -m32, since we have
long since stopped supporting compilers too old for the -m32 option,
and in fact hardcode it in other places in the Makefiles.

Always pass in the -mno-sse argument, regardless if
-preferred-stack-boundary is supported. We never want to generate SSE
instructions in the kernel unless we *really* know what we're doing.
According to H. J. Lu, any version of gcc new enough that we support
it at all should handle the -mno-sse option, so just add it
unconditionally.

Moves the relocation handling into C, after decompression. This requires
that the decompressed size is passed to the decompression routine as
well so that relocations can be found. Only kernels that need relocation
support will use the code (currently just x86_32), but this is laying
the ground work for 64-bit using it in support of KASLR.

Pull two x86 kernel build changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The first change modifies how 'make oldconfig' works on cross-bitness
situations on x86. It was felt the new behavior of preserving the
bitness of the .config is more logical. This is a leftover of the
merge.
The second change eliminates a Perl warning. (There's another, more
complete fix resulting of this warning fix, which second fix in flight
to you via the kbuild tree, which will remove the timeconst.pl script
altogether.)"
* 'x86-build-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
timeconst.pl: Eliminate Perl warning
x86: Default to ARCH=x86 to avoid overriding CONFIG_64BIT
|
|
It is easy to waste a bunch of time when one takes a 32-bit .config
from a test machine and try to build it on a faster 64-bit system, and
its existing setting of CONFIG_64BIT=n gets *changed* to match the
build host. Similarly, if one has an existing build tree it is easy
to trash an entire build tree that way.
This is because the default setting for $ARCH when discovered from
'uname' is one of the legacy pre-x86-merge values (i386 or x86_64),
which effectively force the setting of CONFIG_64BIT to match. We should
default to ARCH=x86 instead, finally completing the merge that we
started so long ago.
This patch preserves the behaviour of the legacy ARCH settings for commands
such as:
make ARCH=x86_64 randconfig
make ARCH=i386 randconfig
... since making the value of CONFIG_64BIT actually random in that situation
is not desirable.
In time, perhaps we can retire this legacy use of the old ARCH= values.
We already have a way to override values for *any* config option, using
$KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, so it could be argued that we don't necessarily need
to keep ARCH={i386,x86_64} around as a special case just for overriding
CONFIG_64BIT.
We'd probably at least want to add a way to override config options from
the command line ('make CONFIG_FOO=y oldconfig') before we talk about doing
that though.

"Here are two fixes I intended to send after v3.6-rc7, but failed to do

The first one fixes gcc -x <language> syntax in various build-time
tests, which icecream and possible other gcc wrappers did not
understand (and yes, icecream is going to be fixed as well).
The second one fixes make tar-pkg so that unpacking the tarball does

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.
This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.
Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

While building the SUSE kernel packages, which build the scripts,
make clean, and then build everything, we have been running into spurious
build failures. We tracked them down to a simple dependency issue:
$ make mrproper
CLEAN arch/x86/tools
CLEAN scripts/basic
$ cp patches/config/x86_64/desktop .config
$ make archscripts
HOSTCC arch/x86/tools/relocs
/bin/sh: scripts/basic/fixdep: No such file or directory

make[2]: *** [archscripts] Error 2
make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
This was introduced by commit
6520fe55 (x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs),
which added the archscripts dependency to archprepare.
This patch adds the scripts_basic dependency to the x86 archscripts.

On x86-64, the standard ABI requires alignment to 16 bytes. However,
this is not actually necessary in the kernel (we don't do SSE except
in very controlled ways); and furthermore, the standard kernel entry
on x86-64 actually leaves the stack on an odd 8-byte boundary, which
means that gcc will generate extra instructions to keep the stack
*mis*aligned!
gcc 4.8 adds an -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 option to override this
and lets us save some stack space and a handful of instructions.
Note that this causes us to pass -mno-sse twice; this is redundant,
but necessary since the cc-option test will fail unless -mno-sse is
passed on the same command line.
