This replaces the desc_empty macro with an inline. It now handles easily any of the four different types used between 32/64 code to refer to these 8 bytes. It's identical in both asm-x86/processor_64.h and asm-x86/processor_32.h, so if these files ever get merged this function can be in the common code. This also removes the desc_equal macro because nothing uses it. Signed-off-by:

The fs_base and gs_base fields are available in user_regs_struct. But reading these via ptrace (PTRACE_GETREGS or PTRACE_PEEKUSR) does not give a reliably useful value. The thread_struct fields are 0 when do_arch_prctl decided to use a GDT slot instead of MSR_FS_BASE, which it does for a value under 1<<32. This changes ptrace access to fs_base and gs_base to work like PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL does. That is, it reads the base address that user-mode memory access using the fs/gs instruction prefixes will use, regardless of how it's being implemented in the kernel. The MSR vs GDT is an implementation detail that is pretty much hidden from userland in the actual using, and there is no reason that ptrace should give the internal implementation picture rather than the user-mode semantic picture. In the case of setting the value, this can implicitly change the fsindex/gsindex value (also separately in user_regs_struct), which is what happens when the thread calls arch_prctl itself. In a PTRACE_SETREGS, the fs_base change will come after the fsindex change due to the order of the struct, and so a change the debugger made to fs_base will have the effect intended, another part of the user_regs_struct will now differ when read back from what the debugger wrote. This makes PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL obsolete. We could consider declaring it deprecated and removing it one day, though there is no hurry. For the foreseeable future, debuggers have to assume an old kernel that does not report reliable fs_base/gs_base values in user_regs_struct and stick to PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL anyway. Signed-off-by:

This changes a couple of places to use the get_desc_base function. They were duplicating the same calculation with different equivalent code. Signed-off-by:

This defines the get_desc_base function in asm-x86/desc_64.h to match the one in desc_32.h. If these two files ever get merged together, this function could be the same in both. Signed-off-by:

Some assembler versions automagically optimize .eh_frame contents, changing their size. The CFI in sysenter.S was not using optimal formatting, so it would be changed by newer/smarter assemblers. This ran afoul of the wired constant for padding out the other vDSO images to match its size. This changes the original hand-coded source to use the optimal format encoding for its operations. That leaves nothing more for a fancy assembler to do, so the sizes will match the wired-in expected size regardless of the assembler version. Signed-off-by:

This cleans up the arch/x86/vdso/Makefile rules for vdso.so to share more code with the vdso32-*.so rules and remove old cruft. Signed-off-by:

This reorders the code in the 32-bit vDSO images to put the signal trampolines first and __kernel_vsyscall after them. The order does not matter to userland, it just uses what AT_SYSINFO or e_entry says. Since the signal trampolines are the same size in both versions of the vDSO, putting them first is the simplest way to get the addresses to line up. This makes it work to use a more compact layout for the vDSO. Signed-off-by:

This makes x86_64's ia32 emulation support share the sources used in the 32-bit kernel for the 32-bit vDSO and much of its setup code. The 32-bit vDSO mapping now behaves the same on x86_64 as on native 32-bit. The abi.syscall32 sysctl on x86_64 now takes the same values that vm.vdso_enabled takes on the 32-bit kernel. That is, 1 means a randomized vDSO location, 2 means the fixed old address. The CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO option is now available to make this the default setting, the same meaning it has for the 32-bit kernel. (This does not affect the 64-bit vDSO.) The argument vdso32=[012] can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to set this paramter at boot time. The vdso=[012] argument still does this same thing on the 32-bit kernel. Signed-off-by:

This puts the syscall version of the 32-bit vDSO in arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/ for 64-bit IA32 support. This is not used yet, but it paves the way for consolidating the 32-bit vDSO source and build logic all in one place. Signed-off-by:

Roland McGrath authored
This changes the 64-bit kernel's support for the 32-bit sysenter instruction to use stored fields rather than constants for the user-mode return address, as the 32-bit kernel does. This adds a sysenter_return field to struct thread_info, as 32-bit has. There is no observable effect from this yet. It makes the assembly code independent of the 32-bit vDSO mapping address, paving the way for making the vDSO address vary as it does on the 32-bit kernel.

This moves arch/x86/kernel/sysenter_32.c to arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-setup.c, keeping all the code relating only to vDSO magic in the vdso/ subdirectory. This is a pure renaming, but it paves the way to consolidating the code for dealing with 32-bit vDSOs across CONFIG_X86_32 and CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION. Signed-off-by:

This builds the 32-bit vDSO images in the arch/x86/vdso subdirectory. Nothing uses the images yet, but this paves the way for consolidating the vDSO build logic all in one place. The new images use a linker script sharing the layout parts from vdso-layout.lds.S with the 64-bit vDSO. A new vdso32-syms.lds is generated in the style of vdso-syms.lds. Signed-off-by:

This change harmonizes the asm-offsets macros used in the 32-bit vDSO across 32-bit and 64-bit builds. It's a purely cosmetic change for now, but it paves the way for consolidating the 32-bit vDSO builds. Signed-off-by:

This revamps the vDSO linker script to lay things out with the best packing of the data and good, separate alignment of the code. The rigid layout using VDSO_TEXT_OFFSET no longer matters to the kernel. I've moved the layout parts of the linker script into a new include file, vdso-layout.lds.S; this is in preparation for sharing the script for the 32-bit vDSO builds too. Signed-off-by:

Roland McGrath authored
This patch changes the kernel's references to addresses in the vDSO image to be based on the symbols defined by vdso-syms.lds instead of the old vdso-syms.o symbols. This is all wrapped up in a macro defined by the new asm-x86/vdso.h header; that's the only place in the kernel source that has to know the details of the scheme for getting vDSO symbol values.

This patch adds a new way of extracting symbols from the built vDSO image. This is much simpler and less fragile than using ld -R; it removes the need to control the DSO layout quite so exactly. I was clearly unduly distracted by clever ld uses when I did the original vDSO implementation. Signed-off-by:

Randomize the location of the heap (brk) for i386 and x86_64. The range is randomized in the range starting at current brk location up to 0x02000000 offset for both architectures. This, together with pie-executable-randomization.patch and pie-executable-randomization-fix.patch, should make the address space randomization on i386 and x86_64 complete. Arjan says: This is known to break older versions of some emacs variants, whose dumper code assumed that the last variable declared in the program is equal to the start of the dynamically allocated memory region. (The dumper is the code where emacs effectively dumps core at the end of it's compilation stage; this coredump is then loaded as the main program during normal use) iirc this was 5 years or so; we found this way back when I was at RH and we first did the security stuff there (including this brk randomization). It wasn't all variants of emacs, and it got fixed as a result (I vaguely remember that emacs already had code to deal with it for other archs/oses, just ifdeffed wrongly). It's a rare and wrong assumption as a general thing, just on x86 it mostly happened to be true (but to be honest, it'll break too if gcc does something fancy or if the linker does a non-standard order). Still its something we should at least document. Note 2: afaik it only broke the emacs *build*. I'm not 100% sure about that (it IS 5 years ago) though.

Earlier patch added IO APIC setup into local APIC setup. This caused modpost warnings. Fix them by untangling setup_local_APIC() and splitting it into smaller functions. The IO APIC initialization is only called for the BP init. Also removed some outdated debugging code and minor cleanup. [ tglx: arch/x86 adaptation ] Signed-off-by:

Contrary to the comment "newer gccs do it by default", newer gcc versions default to -maccumulate-outgoing-args only with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n, and then only with some CPU settings. Measured with an i386 defconfig, gcc 4.2.1 and kernel 2.6.23-rc1 ("orig" is the plain kernel, "changed is with -maccumulate-outgoing-args removed): $ ls -la vmlinux* -rwxrwxr-x 1 bunk bunk 6269713 2007-07-24 22:19 vmlinux.changed -rwxrwxr-x 1 bunk bunk 6425361 2007-07-24 22:19 vmlinux.orig $ size vmlinux.* text data bss dec hex filename 4493465 504108 614400 5611973 55a1c5 vmlinux.changed 4646160 504108 614400 5764668 57f63c vmlinux.orig $ That's a 2.5% size increase that does for sure hurt small systems. If the stack unwinder ever comes back and needs this as indicated in the comment, adding it to the cflags when the user enabled the unwinder should be a better option.

4 socket quad core, 8 socket quad core will do apic ID lifting for BSP. But io-apic regs for ExtINT still use 0 as dest. so when we enable apic error vector in BSP, we will get one APIC error.
