<title>um: Fix stack pointer alignment</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b79d1b2e39b51d1be0e3d85490028976b14d3431</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 558f9b2f94dbd2d5c5c8292aa13e081cc11ea7d9 ]

GCC assumes that stack is aligned to 16-byte on call sites [1].
Since GCC 8, GCC began using 16-byte aligned SSE instructions to
implement assignments to structs on stack. When
CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE is enabled, this affects
os-Linux/sigio.c, write_sigio_thread:

  struct pollfds *fds, tmp;
  tmp = current_poll;

Note that struct pollfds is exactly 16 bytes in size.
GCC 8+ generates assembly similar to:

  movdqa (%rdi),%xmm0
  movaps %xmm0,-0x50(%rbp)

This is an issue, because movaps will #GP if -0x50(%rbp) is not
aligned to 16 bytes [2], and how rbp gets assigned to is via glibc
clone thread_start, then function prologue, going though execution
trace similar to (showing only relevant instructions):

  sub    $0x10,%rsi
  mov    %rcx,0x8(%rsi)
  mov    %rdi,(%rsi)
  syscall
  pop    %rax
  pop    %rdi
  callq  *%rax
  push   %rbp
  mov    %rsp,%rbp

The stack pointer always points to the topmost element on stack,
rather then the space right above the topmost. On push, the
pointer decrements first before writing to the memory pointed to
by it. Therefore, there is no need to have the stack pointer
pointer always point to valid memory unless the stack is poped;
so the `- sizeof(void *)` in the code is unnecessary.

On the other hand, glibc reserves the 16 bytes it needs on stack
and pops itself, so by the call instruction the stack pointer
is exactly the caller-supplied sp. It then push the 16 bytes of
the return address and the saved stack pointer, so the base
pointer will be 16-byte aligned if and only if the caller
supplied sp is 16-byte aligned. Therefore, the caller must supply
a 16-byte aligned pointer, which `stack + UM_KERN_PAGE_SIZE`
already satisfies.

On a side note, musl is unaffected by this issue because it forces
16 byte alignment via `and $-16,%rsi` in its clone wrapper.
Similarly, glibc i386 is also unaffected because it has
`andl $0xfffffff0, %ecx`.

To reproduce this bug, enable CONFIG_UML_RTC and
CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE. uml_rtc will call
add_sigio_fd which will then cause write_sigio_thread to either go
into segfault loop or panic with "Segfault with no mm".

Similarly, signal stacks will be aligned by the host kernel upon
signal delivery. `- sizeof(void *)` to sigaltstack is
unconventional and extraneous.

On a related note, initialization of longjmp buffers do require
`- sizeof(void *)`. This is to account for the return address
that would have been pushed to the stack at the call site.

The reason for uml to respect 16-byte alignment, rather than
telling GCC to assume 8-byte alignment like the host kernel since
commit d9b0cde91c60 ("x86-64, gcc: Use
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 if supported"), is because uml links
against libc. There is no reason to assume libc is also compiled
with that flag and assumes 8-byte alignment rather than 16-byte.

CONFIG_GCOV doesn't work with modules, and for various reasons
it cannot work, see also
https://lore.kernel.org/r/d36ea54d8c0a8dd706826ba844a6f27691f45d55.camel@sipsolutions.net

Make CONFIG_GCOV depend on !MODULES to avoid anyone
running into issues there. This also means we need
not export the gcov symbols.

[ Upstream commit d5027ca63e0e778b641cf23e3f5c6d6212cf412b ]

Ritesh reported a bug [1] against UML, noting that it crashed on
startup. The backtrace shows the following (heavily redacted):

(gdb) bt
...

 #52 0x000000006000574f in main (...) at arch/um/os-Linux/main.c:144

indicating that the UML function openpty_cb() calls openpty(),
which internally calls __getgrnam_r(), which causes the nsswitch
machinery to get started.

This loads, through lots of indirection that I snipped, the
libcom_err.so.2 library, which (in an unknown function, "??")
calls sem_init().

Now, of course it wants to get libpthread's sem_init(), since
it's linked against libpthread. However, the dynamic linker
looks up that symbol against the binary first, and gets the
kernel's sem_init().

Hajime Tazaki noted that "objcopy -L" can localize a symbol,
so the dynamic linker wouldn't do the lookup this way. I tried,
but for some reason that didn't seem to work.

Doing the same thing in the linker script instead does seem to
work, though I cannot entirely explain - it *also* works if I
just add "VERSION { { global: *; }; }" instead, indicating that
something else is happening that I don't really understand. It
may be that explicitly doing that marks them with some kind of
empty version, and that's different from the default.

Explicitly marking them with a version breaks kallsyms, so that
doesn't seem to be possible.

Marking all the symbols as local seems correct, and does seem
to address the issue, so do that. Also do it for static link,
nsswitch libraries could still be loaded there.

Pull io_uring thread rewrite from Jens Axboe:
 "This converts the io-wq workers to be forked off the tasks in question
  instead of being kernel threads that assume various bits of the
  original task identity.

  This kills &gt; 400 lines of code from io_uring/io-wq, and it's the worst
  part of the code. We've had several bugs in this area, and the worry
  is always that we could be missing some pieces for file types doing
  unusual things (recent /dev/tty example comes to mind, userfaultfd
  reads installing file descriptors is another fun one... - both of
  which need special handling, and I bet it's not the last weird oddity
  we'll find).

  With these identical workers, we can have full confidence that we're
  never missing anything. That, in itself, is a huge win. Outside of
  that, it's also more efficient since we're not wasting space and code
  on tracking state, or switching between different states.

  I'm sure we're going to find little things to patch up after this
  series, but testing has been pretty thorough, from the usual
  regression suite to production. Any issue that may crop up should be
  manageable.

  There's also a nice series of further reductions we can do on top of
  this, but I wanted to get the meat of it out sooner rather than later.
  The general worry here isn't that it's fundamentally broken. Most of
  the little issues we've found over the last week have been related to
  just changes in how thread startup/exit is done, since that's the main
  difference between using kthreads and these kinds of threads. In fact,
  if all goes according to plan, I want to get this into the 5.10 and
  5.11 stable branches as well.

  That said, the changes outside of io_uring/io-wq are:

   - arch setup, simple one-liner to each arch copy_thread()
     implementation.

   - Removal of net and proc restrictions for io_uring, they are no
     longer needed or useful"
