x86/vdso32/syscall.S: Do not load __USER32_DS to %ss

2015-03-31T08:45:15+00:00

This vDSO code only gets used by 64-bit kernels, not 32-bit ones. On 64-bit kernels, the data segment is the same for 32-bit and 64-bit userspace, and the SYSRET instruction loads %ss with its selector. So there's no need to repeat it by hand. Segment loads are somewhat expensive: tens of cycles.

x86/vdso: Fix the build on GCC5

2015-03-06T08:34:45+00:00

On gcc5 the kernel does not link: ld: .eh_frame_hdr table[4] FDE at 0000000000000648 overlaps table[5] FDE at 0000000000000670. Because prior GCC versions always emitted NOPs on ALIGN directives, but gcc5 started omitting them. .LSTARTFDEDLSI1 says: /* HACK: The dwarf2 unwind routines will subtract 1 from the return address to get an address in the middle of the presumed call instruction. Since we didn't get here via a call, we need to include the nop before the real start to make up for it. */ .long .LSTART_sigreturn-1-. /* PC-relative start address */ But commit 69d0627a7f6e ("x86 vDSO: reorder vdso32 code") from 2.6.25 replaced .org __kernel_vsyscall+32,0x90 by ALIGN right before __kernel_sigreturn. Of course, ALIGN need not generate any NOP in there. Esp. gcc5 collapses vclock_gettime.o and int80.o together with no generated NOPs as "ALIGN". So fix this by adding to that point at least a single NOP and make the function ALIGN possibly with more NOPs then. Kudos for reporting and diagnosing should go to Richard.

x86/vdso: Improve the fake section headers

2014-06-19T22:45:12+00:00

Fully stripping the vDSO has other unfortunate side effects: - binutils is unable to find ELF notes without a SHT_NOTE section. - Even elfutils has trouble: it can find ELF notes without a section table at all, but if a section table is present, it won't look for PT_NOTE. - gdb wants section names to match between stripped DSOs and their symbols; otherwise it will corrupt symbol addresses. We're also breaking the rules: section 0 is supposed to be SHT_NULL. Fix these problems by building a better fake section table. While we're at it, we might as well let buggy Go versions keep working well by giving the SHT_DYNSYM entry the correct size. This is a bit unfortunate: it adds quite a bit of size to the vdso image. If/when binutils improves and the improved versions become widespread, it would be worth considering dropping most of this.

x86, vdso: Reimplement vdso.so preparation in build-time C

2014-05-05T20:18:51+00:00

Currently, vdso.so files are prepared and analyzed by a combination of objcopy, nm, some linker script tricks, and some simple ELF parsers in the kernel. Replace all of that with plain C code that runs at build time. All five vdso images now generate .c files that are compiled and linked in to the kernel image. This should cause only one userspace-visible change: the loaded vDSO images are stripped more heavily than they used to be. Everything outside the loadable segment is dropped. In particular, this causes the section table and section name strings to be missing. This should be fine: real dynamic loaders don't load or inspect these tables anyway. The result is roughly equivalent to eu-strip's --strip-sections option. The purpose of this change is to enable the vvar and hpet mappings to be moved to the page following the vDSO load segment. Currently, it is possible for the section table to extend into the page after the load segment, so, if we map it, it risks overlapping the vvar or hpet page. This happens whenever the load segment is just under a multiple of PAGE_SIZE. The only real subtlety here is that the old code had a C file with inline assembler that did 'call VDSO32_vsyscall' and a linker script that defined 'VDSO32_vsyscall = __kernel_vsyscall'. This most likely worked by accident: the linker script entry defines a symbol associated with an address as opposed to an alias for the real dynamic symbol __kernel_vsyscall. That caused ld to relocate the reference at link time instead of leaving an interposable dynamic relocation. Since the VDSO32_vsyscall hack is no longer needed, I now use 'call __kernel_vsyscall', and I added -Bsymbolic to make it work. vdso2c will generate an error and abort the build if the resulting image contains any dynamic relocations, so we won't silently generate bad vdso images. (Dynamic relocations are a problem because nothing will even attempt to relocate the vdso.)

x86, vdso: Fix the symbol versions on the 32-bit vDSO

2014-03-30T17:08:38+00:00

The new symbols provide the same API as the 64-bit variants, so they should have the same symbol version name. This can't break userspace, since these symbols are new for 32-bit Linux.

x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 64 bit kernel

2014-03-18T19:52:41+00:00

This patch add the VDSO time support for the IA32 Emulation Layer. Due the nature of the kernel headers and the LP64 compiler where the size of a long and a pointer differs against a 32 bit compiler, there is some type hacking necessary for optimal performance. The vsyscall_gtod_data struture must be a rearranged to serve 32- and 64-bit code access at the same time: - The seqcount_t was replaced by an unsigned, this makes the vsyscall_gtod_data intedepend of kernel configuration and internal functions. - All kernel internal structures are replaced by fix size elements which works for 32- and 64-bit access - The inner struct clock was removed to pack the whole struct. The "unsigned seq" would be handled by functions derivated from seqcount_t.

x86, vdso: Remove compat vdso support

2014-03-13T23:20:09+00:00

The compat vDSO is a complicated hack that's needed to maintain compatibility with a small range of glibc versions. This removes it and replaces it with a much simpler hack: a config option to disable the 32-bit vDSO by default. This also changes the default value of CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO to n -- users configuring kernels from scratch almost certainly want that choice.
