There are a couple of syscall argument zero-extension instructions in the 32-bit compat entry code, and it was mentioned that people keep trying to optimize them out, introducing bugs. Make them more visible, and add a "do not remove" comment. Signed-off-by:

The existing comment has proven to be not very clear. Replace it with a comment similar to the one we now have in the 64-bit syscall entry point. (Three instances, one per 32-bit syscall entry). In the INT80 entry point's CFI annotations, replace mysterious expressions with numric constants. In this case, raw numbers look more understandable. Signed-off-by:

The comment is ancient, it dates to the time when only AMD's x86_64 implementation existed. AMD wasn't (and still isn't) supporting SYSENTER, so these writes were "just in case" back then. This has changed: Intel's x86_64 appeared, and Intel does support SYSENTER in long mode. "Some future 64-bit CPU" is here already. The code may appear "buggy" for AMD as it stands, since MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_EIP is only 32-bit for AMD CPUs. Writing a kernel function's address to it would drop high bits. Subsequent use of this MSR for branch via SYSENTER seem to allow user to transition to CPL0 while executing his code. Scary, eh? Explain why that is not a bug: because SYSENTER insn would not work on AMD CPU. Signed-off-by:

Internally, lockdep_sys_exit_thunk saves callee-clobbered registers, and calls a C function, lockdep_sys_exit. Thus, callee-preserved registers won't be mangled, there is no need to save them. Patch was run-tested. Signed-off-by:

This change simply moves defines around (even if it's not obvious in a patch form). Nothing is changed. This is a preparation for folding ARCH_LOCKDEP_SYS_EXIT defines into their users. Signed-off-by:

The $AUDIT_ARCH_X86_64 parameter to syscall_trace_enter_phase1/2 is a 32-bit constant, loading it with 32-bit MOV produces 5-byte insn instead of 10-byte MOVABS one. Signed-off-by:

A named label "ret_from_sys_call" implies that there are jumps to this location from elsewhere, as happens with many other labels in this file. But this label is used only by the JMP a few insns above. To make that obvious, use local numeric label instead. Improve comments: "and return regs->ax" isn't too informative. We always return regs->ax. The comment suggesting that it'd be cool to use rip relative addressing for CALL is deleted. It's unclear why that would be an improvement - we aren't striving to use position-independent code here. PIC code here would require something like LEA sys_call_table(%rip),reg + CALL *(reg,%rax*8)... "iret frame is also incomplete" is no longer true, fix that too. Also fix typo in comment.

We currently have a race: if we're preempted during syscall exit, we can fail to process syscall return work that is queued up while we're preempted in ret_from_sys_call after checking ti.flags. Fix it by disabling interrupts before checking ti.flags. Reported-by:

The THREAD_INFO() macro has a somewhat confusingly generic name, defined in a generic .h C header file. It also does not make it clear that it constructs a memory operand for use in assembly code. Rename it to ASM_THREAD_INFO() to make it all glaringly obvious on first glance. Acked-by:

On CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y kernels we set up MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_CS/ESP/EIP, but on !CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION kernels we leave them unchanged. Clear them to make sure the instruction is disabled properly. SYSCALL is set up properly in both cases. Acked-by:

This file just defines a number of constants, and a few macros and inline functions. It is particularly badly written. For example, it is not trivial to see how descriptors are numbered (you'd expect that should be easy, right?). This change deobfuscates it via the following changes: Group all GDT_ENTRY_foo together (move intervening stuff away). Number them explicitly: use a number, not PREV_DEFINE+1, +2, +3: I want to immediately see that GDT_ENTRY_PNPBIOS_CS32 is 18. Seeing (GDT_ENTRY_KERNEL_BASE+6) instead is not useful. The above change allows to remove GDT_ENTRY_KERNEL_BASE and GDT_ENTRY_PNPBIOS_BASE, which weren't used anywhere else. After a group of GDT_ENTRY_foo, define all selector values. Remove or improve some comments. In particular: Comment deleted as stating the obvious: /* * The GDT has 32 entries */ #define GDT_ENTRIES 32 "The segment offset needs to contain a RPL. Grr. -AK" changed to "Selectors need to also have a correct RPL (+3 thingy)" "GDT layout to get 64bit syscall right (sysret hardcodes gdt offsets)" expanded into a description *how exactly* sysret hardcodes them. Patch was tested to compile and not change vmlinux.o on 32-bit and 64-bit builds (verified with objdump). Signed-off-by: -

With the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK macro removed, this intermediate jump is unnecessary. Signed-off-by:
-
Denys Vlasenko authored
The FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK macro is only necessary because we don't save %r11 to pt_regs->r11 on SYSCALL64 fast path, but we want ptrace to see it populated. Bite the bullet, add a single additional PUSH instruction, and remove the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK macro. The RESTORE_TOP_OF_STACK macro is already a nop. Remove it too. On SandyBridge CPU, it does not get slower: measured 54.22 ns per getpid syscall before and after last two changes on defconfig kernel. Signed-off-by:

With this change, on SYSCALL64 code path we are now populating pt_regs->cs, pt_regs->ss and pt_regs->rcx unconditionally and therefore don't need to do that in FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK. We lose a number of large instructions there: text data bss dec hex filename 13298 0 0 13298 33f2 entry_64_before.o 12978 0 0 12978 32b2 entry_64.o What's more important, we convert two "MOVQ $imm,off(%rsp)" to "PUSH $imm" (the ones which fill pt_regs->cs,ss). Before this patch, placing them on fast path was slowing it down by two cycles: this form of MOV is very large, 12 bytes, and this probably reduces decode bandwidth to one instruction per cycle when CPU sees them. Therefore they were living in FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK instead (away from fast path). "PUSH $imm" is a small 2-byte instruction. Moving it to fast path does not slow it down in my measurements.

PER_CPU_VAR(kernel_stack) was set up in a way where it points five stack slots below the top of stack. Presumably, it was done to avoid one "sub $5*8,%rsp" in syscall/sysenter code paths, where iret frame needs to be created by hand. Ironically, none of them benefits from this optimization, since all of them need to allocate additional data on stack (struct pt_regs), so they still have to perform subtraction. This patch eliminates KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET. PER_CPU_VAR(kernel_stack) now points directly to top of stack. pt_regs allocations are adjusted to allocate iret frame as well. Hopefully we can merge it later with 32-bit specific PER_CPU_VAR(cpu_current_top_of_stack) variable... Net result in generated code is that constants in several insns are changed. This change is necessary for changing struct pt_regs creation in SYSCALL64 code path from MOV to PUSH instructions. Signed-off-by:

This changes the THREAD_INFO() definition and all its callsites so that they do not count stack position from (top of stack - KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET), but from top of stack. Semi-mysterious expressions THREAD_INFO(%rsp,RIP) - "why RIP??" are now replaced by more logical THREAD_INFO(%rsp,SIZEOF_PTREGS) - "calculate thread_info's address using information that rsp is SIZEOF_PTREGS bytes below top of stack". While at it, replace "(off)-THREAD_SIZE(reg)" with equivalent "((off)-THREAD_SIZE)(reg)". The form without parentheses falsely looks like we invoke THREAD_SIZE() macro. Improve comment atop THREAD_INFO macro definition. This patch does not change generated code (verified by objdump). Signed-off-by:

Having syscall32/sysenter32 initialization in a separate tiny function, called from within a function that is already syscall init specific, serves no real purpose. Its existense also caused an unintended effect of having wrmsrl(MSR_CSTAR) performed twice: once we set it to a dummy function returning -ENOSYS, and immediately after (if CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION), we set it to point to the proper syscall32 entry point, ia32_cstar_target.

There's no point in checking the VM bit on 64-bit, and, since we're explicitly checking it, we can use user_mode_ignore_vm86() after the check. While we're at it, rearrange the #ifdef slightly to make the code flow a bit clearer. Signed-off-by:

user_mode() is dangerous and user_mode_vm() has a confusing name. Add user_mode_ignore_vm86() (equivalent to current user_mode()). We'll change the small number of legitimate users of user_mode() to user_mode_ignore_vm86(). Inspired by grsec, although this works rather differently. Signed-off-by:

Both the execve() and sigreturn() family of syscalls have the ability to change registers in ways that may not be compatabile with the syscall path they were called from. In particular, SYSRET and SYSEXIT can't handle non-default %cs and %ss, and some bits in eflags. These syscalls have stubs that are hardcoded to jump to the IRET path, and not return to the original syscall path. The following commit: 76f5df43 ("Always allocate a complete "struct pt_regs" on the kernel stack") recently changed this for some 32-bit compat syscalls, but introduced a bug where execve from a 32-bit program to a 64-bit program would fail because it still returned via SYSRETL. This caused Wine to fail when built for both 32-bit and 64-bit. This patch sets TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME for execve() and sigreturn() so that the IRET path is always taken on exit to userspace.
