I didn't really want to do this, but as part of all the other changes to the user copy loops, I've been looking at this horror. I tried to clean it up multiple times, but every time I just found more problems, and the way it's written, it's just too hard to fix them. For example, the code is written to do quad-word alignment, and will use regular byte accesses to get to that point. That's fairly simple, but it means that any initial 8-byte alignment will be done with cached copies. However, the code then is very careful to do any 4-byte _tail_ accesses using an uncached 4-byte write, and that was claimed to be relevant in commit a82eee74 ("x86/uaccess/64: Handle the caching of 4-byte nocache copies properly in __copy_user_nocache()"). So if you do a 4-byte copy using that function, it carefully uses a 4-byte 'movnti' for the destination. But if you were to do a 12-byte copy that is 4-byte aligned, it would _not_ do a 4-byte 'movnti' followed by a 8-byte 'movnti' to keep it all uncached. Instead, it would align the destination to 8 bytes using a byte-at-a-time loop, and then do a 8-byte 'movnti' for the final 8 bytes. The main caller that cares is __copy_user_flushcache(), which knows about this insanity, and has odd cases for it all. But I just can't deal with looking at this kind of "it does one case right, and another related case entirely wrong". And the code really wasn't fixable without hard drugs, which I try to avoid. So instead, rewrite it in a form that hopefully not only gets this right, but is a bit more maintainable. Knock wood. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Every caller passes in zero, meaning they don't want any partial copy to zero the remainder of the destination buffer. Which is just as well, because the implementation of that function didn't actually even look at that argument, and wasn't even aware it existed, although some misleading comments did mention it still. The 'zerorest' thing is a historical artifact of how "copy_from_user()" worked, in that it would zero the rest of the kernel buffer that it copied into. That zeroing still exists, but it's long since been moved to generic code, and the raw architecture-specific code doesn't do it. See _copy_from_user() in lib/usercopy.c for this all. However, while __copy_user_nocache() shares some history and superficial other similarities with copy_from_user(), it is in many ways also very different. In particular, while the code makes it *look* similar to the generic user copy functions that can copy both to and from user space, and take faults on both reads and writes as a result, __copy_user_nocache() does no such thing at all. __copy_user_nocache() always copies to kernel space, and will never take a page fault on the destination. What *can* happen, though, is that the non-temporal stores take a machine check because one of the use cases is for writing to stable memory, and any memory errors would then take synchronous faults. So __copy_user_nocache() does look a lot like copy_from_user(), but has faulting behavior that is more akin to our old copy_in_user() (which no longer exists, but copied from user space to user space and could fault on both source and destination). And it very much does not have the "zero the end of the destination buffer", since a problem with the destination buffer is very possibly the very source of the partial copy. So this whole thing was just a confusing historical artifact from having shared some code with a completely different function with completely different use cases.

So Intel introduced the FSRS ("Fast Short REP STOS") CPU capability bit, because they seem to have done the (much simpler) REP STOS optimizations separately and later than the REP MOVS one. In contrast, when AMD introduced support for FSRM ("Fast Short REP MOVS"), in the Zen 3 core, it appears to have improved the REP STOS case at the same time, and since the FSRS bit was added by Intel later, it doesn't show up on those AMD Zen 3 cores. And now that we made use of FSRS for the "rep stos" conditional, that made those AMD machines unnecessarily slower. The Intel situation where "rep movs" is fast, but "rep stos" isn't, is just odd. The 'stos' case is a lot simpler with no aliasing, no mutual alignment issues, no complicated cases. So this just sets FSRS automatically when FSRM is available on AMD machines, to get back all the nice REP STOS goodness in Zen 3.

The old 'copy_user_generic_unrolled' function was oddly implemented for largely historical reasons: it had been largely based on the uncached copy case, which has some other concerns. For example, the __copy_user_nocache() function uses 'movnti' for the destination stores, and those want the destination to be aligned. In contrast, the regular copy function doesn't really care, and trying to align things only complicates matters. Also, like the clear_user function, the copy function had some odd handling of the repeat counts, complicating the exception handling for no really good reason. So as with clear_user, just write it to keep all the byte counts in the %rcx register, exactly like the 'rep movs' functionality that this replaces. Unlike a real 'rep movs', we do allow for this to trash a few temporary registers to not have to unnecessarily save/restore registers on the stack. And like the clearing case, rename this to what it now clearly is: 'rep_movs_alternative', and make it one coherent function, so that it shows up as such in profiles (instead of the odd split between "copy_user_generic_unrolled" and "copy_user_short_string", the latter of which was not about strings at all, and which was shared with the uncached case).

The old version was oddly written to have the repeat count in multiple registers. So instead of taking advantage of %rax being zero, it had some sub-counts in it. All just for a "single word clearing" loop, which isn't even efficient to begin with. So get rid of those games, and just keep all the state in the same registers we got it in (and that we should return things in). That not only makes this act much more like 'rep stos' (which this function is replacing), but makes it much easier to actually do the obvious loop unrolling. Also rename the function from the now nonsensical 'clear_user_original' to what it now clearly is: 'rep_stos_alternative'. End result: if we don't have a fast 'rep stosb', at least we can have a fast fallback for it. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This does the same thing for the user copies as commit 0db7058e ("x86/clear_user: Make it faster") did for clear_user(). In other words, it inlines the "rep movs" case when X86_FEATURE_FSRM is set, avoiding the function call entirely. In order to do that, it makes the calling convention for the out-of-line case ("copy_user_generic_unrolled") match the 'rep movs' calling convention, although it does also end up clobbering a number of additional registers. Also, to simplify code sharing in the low-level assembly with the __copy_user_nocache() function (that uses the normal C calling convention), we end up with a kind of mixed return value for the low-level asm code: it will return the result in both %rcx (to work as an alternative for the 'rep movs' case), _and_ in %rax (for the nocache case). We could avoid this by wrapping __copy_user_nocache() callers in an inline asm, but since the cost is just an extra register copy, it's probably not worth it.

This is preparatory work for inlining the 'rep movs' case, but also a cleanup. The __copy_user_nocache() function was mis-used by the rdma code to do uncached kernel copies that don't actually want user copies at all, and as a result doesn't want the stac/clac either.

The modern target to use is FSRS (Fast Short REP STOS), and the other cases should only be used for bigger areas (ie mainly things like page clearing). Note! This changes the conditional for the inlining from FSRM ("fast short rep movs") to FSRS ("fast short rep stos"). We'll have a separate fixup for AMD microarchitectures that have a good 'rep stosb' yet do not set the new Intel-specific FSRS bit (because FSRM was there first).

Since commit 05e96e96 ("kbuild: use git-archive for source package creation"), a source tarball is created in two steps; create *.tar file then compress it. I split the compression as a separate rule because I just thought 'git archive' supported only gzip. For other compression algorithms, I could pipe the two commands: $ git archive HEAD | xz > linux.tar.xz I read git-archive(1) carefully, and I realized GIT had provided a more elegant way: $ git -c tar.tar.xz.command=xz archive -o linux.tar.xz HEAD This commit uses 'tar.tar.*.command' configuration to specify the compression backend so we can compress a source tarball on-the-fly. GIT commit 767cf4579f0e ("archive: implement configurable tar filters") is more than a decade old, so it should be available on almost all build environments.

Forwarding variadic argument lists can't be done by passing a va_list to a function with signature foo(...) (as panic() has). It ends up interpreting the va_list itself as a single argument instead of iterating it. printf() happily accepts it of course, leading to corrupt output. Convert panic_show_mem() to a macro to allow forwarding the arguments. The function is trivial enough that it's easier than trying to introduce a vpanic() variant.

Similar to commit 4c9d410f ("initramfs: Check timestamp to prevent broken cpio archive"), except asserts that the timestamp is non-negative. This can happen when the KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is a value before UNIX epoch, which may be set when making reproducible builds that don't want to look like they use a valid date. While support for dates before 1970 might not be supported, this is more about preventing undetected CPIO corruption. The printf's use a minimum length format specifier, and will happily make the field longer than 8 characters if they need to.
