It is possible for alternative code to unconditionally jump out of the alternative region. In such a case, if a fake jump is added at the end of the alternative instructions, the fake jump will never be reached. Since the fake jump is just a mean to make sure code validation does not go beyond the set of alternatives, reaching it is not a requirement. Signed-off-by:

Unwind hints are useful to provide objtool with information about stack states in non-standard functions/code. While the type of information being provided might be very arch specific, the mechanism to provide the information can be useful for other architectures. Move the relevant unwint hint definitions for all architectures to see. [ jpoimboe: REGS_IRET -> REGS_PARTIAL ] Signed-off-by:

As pointed out by the comment in handle_group_alt(), support of relocation for instructions in an alternative group depends on whether arch specific kernel code handles it. So, let objtool arch specific code decide whether a relocation for the alternative section should be accepted. Reviewed-by:

Currently the tracepoint site will iterate a vector and issue indirect calls to however many handlers are registered (ie. the vector is long). Using static_call() it is possible to optimize this for the common case of only having a single handler registered. In this case the static_call() can directly call this handler. Otherwise, if the vector is longer than 1, call a function that iterates the whole vector like the current code. [peterz: updated to new interface] Signed-off-by:

In order to use static_call() to wire up x86_pmu, we need to initialize earlier, specifically before memory allocation works; copy some of the tricks from jump_label to enable this. Primarily we overload key->next to store a sites pointer when there are no modules, this avoids having to use kmalloc() to initialize the sites and allows us to run much earlier. Signed-off-by:

GCC can turn our static_call(name)(args...) into a tail call, in which case we get a JMP.d32 into the trampoline (which then does a further tail-call). Teach objtool to recognise and mark these in .static_call_sites and adjust the code patching to deal with this. Signed-off-by:

Extend the static_call infrastructure to optimize the following common pattern: if (func_ptr) func_ptr(args...) For the trampoline (which is in effect a tail-call), we patch the JMP.d32 into a RET, which then directly consumes the trampoline call. For the in-line sites we replace the CALL with a NOP5. NOTE: this is 'obviously' limited to functions with a 'void' return type. NOTE: DEFINE_STATIC_COND_CALL() only requires a typename, as opposed to a full function. Signed-off-by: -

Add the inline static call implementation for x86-64. The generated code is identical to the out-of-line case, except we move the trampoline into it's own section. Objtool uses the trampoline naming convention to detect all the call sites. It then annotates those call sites in the .static_call_sites section. During boot (and module init), the call sites are patched to call directly into the destination function. The temporary trampoline is then no longer used.

Add the x86 out-of-line static call implementation. For each key, a permanent trampoline is created which is the destination for all static calls for the given key.

Add infrastructure for an arch-specific CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE option, which is a faster version of CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL. At runtime, the static call sites are patched directly, rather than using the out-of-line trampolines. Compared to out-of-line static calls, the performance benefits are more modest, but still measurable. Steven Rostedt did some tracepoint measurements: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181126155405.72b4f718@gandalf.local.home This code is heavily inspired by the jump label code (aka "static jumps"), as some of the concepts are very similar.

Static calls are a replacement for global function pointers. They use code patching to allow direct calls to be used instead of indirect calls. They give the flexibility of function pointers, but with improved performance. This is especially important for cases where retpolines would otherwise be used, as retpolines can significantly impact performance. The concept and code are an extension of previous work done by Ard Biesheuvel and Steven Rostedt: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181005081333.15018-1-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181006015110.653946300@goodmis.org There are two implementations, depending on arch support: 1) out-of-line: patched trampolines (CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL) 2) basic function pointers For more details, see the comments in include/linux/static_call.h.

While auditing all module notifiers I noticed a whole bunch of fail wrt the return value. Notifiers have a 'special' return semantics. As is; NOTIFY_DONE vs NOTIFY_OK is a bit vague; but notifier_from_errno(0) results in NOTIFY_OK and NOTIFY_DONE has a comment that says "Don't care". From this I've used NOTIFY_DONE when the function completely ignores the callback and notifier_to_error() isn't used. Signed-off-by:

The current notifiers have the following error handling pattern all over the place: int err, nr; err = __foo_notifier_call_chain(&chain, val_up, v, -1, &nr); if (err & NOTIFIER_STOP_MASK) __foo_notifier_call_chain(&chain, val_down, v, nr-1, NULL) And aside from the endless repetition thereof, it is broken. Consider blocking notifiers; both calls take and drop the rwsem, this means that the notifier list can change in between the two calls, making @nr meaningless. Fix this by replacing all the __foo_notifier_call_chain() functions with foo_notifier_call_chain_robust() that embeds the above pattern, but ensures it is inside a single lock region. Note: I switched atomic_notifier_call_chain_robust() to use the spinlock, since RCU cannot provide the guarantee required for the recovery. Note: software_resume() error handling was broken afaict.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "Three interrupt related fixes for X86: - Move disabling of the local APIC after invoking fixup_irqs() to ensure that interrupts which are incoming are noted in the IRR and not ignored. - Unbreak affinity setting. The rework of the entry code reused the regular exception entry code for device interrupts. The vector number is pushed into the errorcode slot on the stack which is then lifted into an argument and set to -1 because that's regs->orig_ax which is used in quite some places to check whether the entry came from a syscall. But it was overlooked that orig_ax is used in the affinity cleanup code to validate whether the interrupt has arrived on the new target. It turned out that this vector check is pointless because interrupts are never moved from one vector to another on the same CPU. That check is a historical leftover from the time where x86 supported multi-CPU affinities, but not longer needed with the now strict single CPU affinity. Famous last words ... - Add a missing check for an empty cpumask into the matrix allocator. The affinity change added a warning to catch the case where an interrupt is moved on the same CPU to a different vector. This triggers because a condition with an empty cpumask returns an assignment from the allocator as the allocator uses for_each_cpu() without checking the cpumask for being empty. The historical inconsistent for_each_cpu() behaviour of ignoring the cpumask and unconditionally claiming that CPU0 is in the mask struck again.
