Ingo Molnar authoredPacking loops tightly (-falign-loops=1) is beneficial to code size: text data bss dec filename 12566391 1617840 1089536 15273767 vmlinux.align.16-byte 12224951 1617840 1089536 14932327 vmlinux.align.1-byte 11976567 1617840 1089536 14683943 vmlinux.align.1-byte.funcs-1-byte 11903735 1617840 1089536 14611111 vmlinux.align.1-byte.funcs-1-byte.loops-1-byte Which reduces the size of the kernel by another 0.6%, so the the total combined size reduction of the alignment-packing patches is ~5.5%. The x86 decoder bandwidth and caching arguments laid out in: be6cb027 ("x86: Align jump targets to 1-byte boundaries") apply to loop alignment as well. Furtermore, modern CPU uarchs have a loop cache/buffer that is a L0 cache before even any uop cache, covering a few dozen most recently executed instructions. This loop cache generally does not have the 16-byte alignment restrictions of the uop cache. Now loop alignment can still be beneficial if: - a loop is cache-hot and its surroundings are not. - if the loop is so cache hot that the instruction flow becomes x86 decoder bandwidth limited But loop alignment is harmful if: - a loop is cache-cold - a loop's surroundings are cache-hot as well - two cache-hot loops are close to each other - if the loop fits into the loop cache - if the code flow is not decoder bandwidth limited and I'd argue that the latter five scenarios are much more common in the kernel, as our hottest loops are typically: - pointer chasing: this should fit into the loop cache in most cases and is typically data cache and address generation limited - generic memory ops (memset, memcpy, etc.): these generally fit into the loop cache as well, and are likewise data cache limited. So this patch packs loop addresses tightly as well. Acked-by:

Ingo Molnar authored
The following NOP in a hot function caught my attention: > 5a: 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopw 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) That's a dead NOP that bloats the function a bit, added for the default 16-byte alignment that GCC applies for jump targets. I realize that x86 CPU manufacturers recommend 16-byte jump target alignments (it's in the Intel optimization manual), to help their relatively narrow decoder prefetch alignment and uop cache constraints, but the cost of that is very significant: text data bss dec filename 12566391 1617840 1089536 15273767 vmlinux.align.16-byte 12224951 1617840 1089536 14932327 vmlinux.align.1-byte By using 1-byte jump target alignment (i.e. no alignment at all) we get an almost 3% reduction in kernel size (!) - and a probably similar reduction in I$ footprint. Now, the usual justification for jump target alignment is the following: - modern decoders tend to have 16-byte (effective) decoder prefetch windows. (AMD documents it higher but measurements suggest the effective prefetch window on curretn uarchs is still around 16 bytes) - on Intel there's also the uop-cache with cachelines that have 16-byte granularity and limited associativity. - older x86 uarchs had a penalty for decoder fetches that crossed 16-byte boundaries. These limits are mostly gone from recent uarchs. So if a forward jump target is aligned to cacheline boundary then prefetches will start from a new prefetch-cacheline and there's higher chance for decoding in fewer steps and packing tightly. But I think that argument is flawed for typical optimized kernel code flows: forward jumps often go to 'cold' (uncommon) pieces of code, and aligning cold code to cache lines does not bring a lot of advantages (they are uncommon), while it causes collateral damage: - their alignment 'spreads out' the cache footprint, it shifts followup hot code further out - plus it slows down even 'cold' code that immediately follows 'hot' code (like in the above case), which could have benefited from the partial cacheline that comes off the end of hot code. But even in the cache-hot case the 16 byte alignment brings disadvantages: - it spreads out the cache footprint, possibly making the code fall out of the L1 I$. - On Intel CPUs, recent microarchitectures have plenty of uop cache (typically doubling every 3 years) - while the size of the L1 cache grows much less aggressively. So workloads are rarely uop cache limited. The only situation where alignment might matter are tight loops that could fit into a single 16 byte chunk - but those are pretty rare in the kernel: if they exist they tend to be pointer chasing or generic memory ops, which both tend to be cache miss (or cache allocation) intensive and are not decoder bandwidth limited. So the balance of arguments strongly favors packing kernel instructions tightly versus maximizing for decoder bandwidth: this patch changes the jump target alignment from 16 bytes to 1 byte (tightly packed, unaligned).

The following commit: f893959b ("x86/fpu: Don't abuse drop_init_fpu() in flush_thread()") removed drop_init_fpu() usage from flush_thread(). This seems to break things for me - the Go 1.4 test suite fails all over the place with floating point comparision errors (offending commit found through bisection). The functional change was that flush_thread() after this commit only calls restore_init_xstate() when both use_eager_fpu() and !used_math() are true. drop_init_fpu() (now fpu_reset_state()) calls restore_init_xstate() regardless of whether current used_math() - apply the same logic here. Switch used_math() -> tsk_used_math(tsk) to consistently use the grabbed tsk instead of current, like in the rest of flush_thread(). Tested-by:

GCC 5 added a compiler option, -mskip-rax-setup, for x86-64. It skips setting up the RAX register when SSE is disabled and there are no variable arguments passed in vector registers. (According to the x86_64 ABI, %al is used as a hidden register containing the number of vector registers used). Since the kernel doesn't pass vector registers to functions with variable arguments, this option can be used to optimize the x86-64 kernel.

Commit 61f01dd9 ("x86_64, asm: Work around AMD SYSRET SS descriptor attribute issue") makes AMD processors set SS to __KERNEL_DS in __switch_to() to deal with cases when SS is NULL. This breaks Xen PV guests who do not want to load SS with__KERNEL_DS. Since the problem that the commit is trying to address would have to be fixed in the hypervisor (if it in fact exists under Xen) there is no reason to set X86_BUG_SYSRET_SS_ATTRS flag for PV VPCUs here. This can be easily achieved by adding x86_hyper_xen_hvm.set_cpu_features op which will clear this flag. (And since this structure is no longer HVM-specific we should do some renaming). Signed-off-by:

A spinlock is regarded as contended when there is at least one waiter. Currently, the code that checks whether there are any waiters rely on tail value being greater than head. However, this is not true if tail reaches the max value and wraps back to zero, so arch_spin_is_contended() incorrectly returns 0 (not contended) when tail is smaller than head. The original code (before regression) handled this case by casting the (tail - head) to an unsigned value. This change simply restores that behavior.

An IO port or MMIO resource assigned to a PCI host bridge may be consumed by the host bridge itself or available to its child bus/devices. The ACPI specification defines a bit (Producer/Consumer) to tell whether the resource is consumed by the host bridge itself, but firmware hasn't used that bit consistently, so we can't rely on it. Before commit 593669c2 ("x86/PCI/ACPI: Use common ACPI resource interfaces to simplify implementation"), arch/x86/pci/acpi.c ignored all IO port resources defined by acpi_resource_io and acpi_resource_fixed_io to filter out IO ports consumed by the host bridge itself. Commit 593669c2 ("x86/PCI/ACPI: Use common ACPI resource interfaces to simplify implementation") started accepting all IO port and MMIO resources, which caused a regression that IO port resources consumed by the host bridge itself became available to its child devices. Then commit 63f1789e ("x86/PCI/ACPI: Ignore resources consumed by host bridge itself") ignored resources consumed by the host bridge itself by checking the IORESOURCE_WINDOW flag, which accidently removed MMIO resources defined by acpi_resource_memory24, acpi_resource_memory32 and acpi_resource_fixed_memory32. On x86 and IA64 platforms, all IO port and MMIO resources are assumed to be available to child bus/devices except one special case: IO port [0xCF8-0xCFF] is consumed by the host bridge itself to access PCI configuration space. So explicitly filter out PCI CFG IO ports[0xCF8-0xCFF]. This solution will also ease the way to consolidate ACPI PCI host bridge common code from x86, ia64 and ARM64.

Commit 77e32c89 ("clockevents: Manage device's state separately for the core") decouples clockevent device's modes from states. With this change when a Xen guest tries to resume, it won't be calling its set_mode op which needs to be done on each VCPU in order to make the hypervisor aware that we are in oneshot mode. This happens because clockevents_tick_resume() (which is an intermediate step of resuming ticks on a processor) doesn't call clockevents_set_state() anymore and because during suspend clockevent devices on all VCPUs (except for the one doing the suspend) are left in ONESHOT state. As result, during resume the clockevents state machine will assume that device is already where it should be and doesn't need to be updated. To avoid this problem we should suspend ticks on all VCPUs during suspend. Signed-off-by:

This reverts commits 0a4e6be9 and 80f7fdb1 . The task migration notifier was originally introduced in order to support the pvclock vsyscall with non-synchronized TSC, but KVM only supports it with synchronized TSC. Hence, on KVM the race condition is only needed due to a bad implementation on the host side, and even then it's so rare that it's mostly theoretical. As far as KVM is concerned it's possible to fix the host, avoiding the additional complexity in the vDSO and the (re)introduction of the task migration notifier. Xen, on the other hand, hasn't yet implemented vsyscall support at all, so we do not care about its plans for non-synchronized TSC. Reported-by:

The kvmclock spec says that the host will increment a version field to an odd number, then update stuff, then increment it to an even number. The host is buggy and doesn't do this, and the result is observable when one vcpu reads another vcpu's kvmclock data. There's no good way for a guest kernel to keep its vdso from reading a different vcpu's kvmclock data, but we don't need to care about changing VCPUs as long as we read a consistent data from kvmclock. (VCPU can change outside of this loop too, so it doesn't matter if we return a value not fit for this VCPU.) Based on a patch by Radim Krčmář. Reviewed-by:

Commit cae2a173 ("x86: clean up/fix 'copy_in_user()' tail zeroing") fixed the failure case tail zeroing of one special case of the x86-64 generic user-copy routine, namely when used for the user-to-user case ("copy_in_user()"). But in the process it broke an even more unusual case: using the user copy routine for kernel-to-kernel copying. Now, normally kernel-kernel copies are obviously done using memcpy(), but we have a couple of special cases when we use the user-copy functions. One is when we pass a kernel buffer to a regular user-buffer routine, using set_fs(KERNEL_DS). That's a "normal" case, and continued to work fine, because it never takes any faults (with the possible exception of a silent and successful vmalloc fault). But Jan Beulich pointed out another, very unusual, special case: when we use the user-copy routines not because it's a path that expects a user pointer, but for a couple of ftrace/kgdb cases that want to do a kernel copy, but do so using "unsafe" buffers, and use the user-copy routine to gracefully handle faults. IOW, for probe_kernel_write(). And that broke for the case of a faulting kernel destination, because we saw the kernel destination and wanted to try to clear the tail of the buffer. Which doesn't work, since that's what faults. This only triggers for things like kgdb and ftrace users (eg trying setting a breakpoint on read-only memory), but it's definitely a bug. The fix is to not compare against the kernel address start (TASK_SIZE), but instead use the same limits "access_ok()" uses. Reported-and-tested-by:

Patch e68410eb ("crypto: x86/sha512_ssse3 - move SHA-384/512 SSSE3 implementation to base layer") changed the prototypes of the core asm SHA-512 implementations so that they are compatible with the prototype used by the base layer. However, in one instance, the register that was used for passing the input buffer was reused as a scratch register later on in the code, and since the input buffer param changed places with the digest param -which needs to be written back before the function returns- this resulted in the scratch register to be dereferenced in a memory write operation, causing a GPF. Fix this by changing the scratch register to use the same register as the input buffer param again.

Recently Andy changed the 64-bit syscall logic so that pt_regs->ax is initially set to -ENOSYS, and on syscall exit, it is updated with the actual return value. This simplified the logic there. This patch does the same for 32-bit syscall entry points. The check for %rax being too big is moved to be just before the call instruction which dispatches execution through the syscall table. There is no way to accidentally skip this check now by jumping to a label after it. This allows us to remove redundant checks after ptrace et al. If %rax is too big, we just skip over the (call, write %rax to pt_regs->ax) instruction pair. pt_regs->ax remains set to -ENOSYS, and it gets returned to userspace. Similar to 64-bit code, this eliminates the "ia32_badsys" code path. Run-tested. Signed-off-by:

This change makes the check exact (no more false positives on "negative" addresses). Andy explains: "Canonical addresses either start with 17 zeros or 17 ones. In the old code, we checked that the top (64-47) = 17 bits were all zero. We did this by shifting right by 47 bits and making sure that nothing was left. In the new code, we're shifting left by (64 - 48) = 16 bits and then signed shifting right by the same amount, this propagating the 17th highest bit to all positions to its left. If we get the same value we started with, then we're good to go." While it isn't really important to be fully correct here - almost all addresses we'll ever see will be userspace ones, but OTOH it looks to be cheap enough: the new code uses two more ALU ops but preserves %rcx, allowing to not reload it from pt_regs->cx again. On disassembly level, the changes are: cmp %rcx,0x80(%rsp) -> mov 0x80(%rsp),%r11; cmp %rcx,%r11 shr $0x2f,%rcx -> shl $0x10,%rcx; sar $0x10,%rcx; cmp %rcx,%r11 mov 0x58(%rsp),%rcx -> (eliminated) Signed-off-by:

The core_pmu does not define cpu_* callbacks, which handles allocation of 'struct cpu_hw_events::shared_regs' data, initialization of debug store and PMU_FL_EXCL_CNTRS counters. While this probably won't happen on bare metal, virtual CPU can define x86_pmu.extra_regs together with PMU version 1 and thus be using core_pmu -> using shared_regs data without it being allocated. That could could leave to following panic: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffff8152cd4f>] _spin_lock_irqsave+0x1f/0x40 SNIP [<ffffffff81024bd9>] __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints+0x69/0x1e0 [<ffffffff81024deb>] intel_get_event_constraints+0x9b/0x180 [<ffffffff8101e815>] x86_schedule_events+0x75/0x1d0 [<ffffffff810586dc>] ? check_preempt_curr+0x7c/0x90 [<ffffffff810649fe>] ? try_to_wake_up+0x24e/0x3e0 [<ffffffff81064ba2>] ? default_wake_function+0x12/0x20 [<ffffffff8109eb16>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x16/0x40 [<ffffffff810577e9>] ? __wake_up_common+0x59/0x90 [<ffffffff811a9517>] ? __d_lookup+0xa7/0x150 [<ffffffff8119db5f>] ? do_lookup+0x9f/0x230 [<ffffffff811a993a>] ? dput+0x9a/0x150 [<ffffffff8119c8f5>] ? path_to_nameidata+0x25/0x60 [<ffffffff8119e90a>] ? __link_path_walk+0x7da/0x1000 [<ffffffff8101d8f9>] ? x86_pmu_add+0xb9/0x170 [<ffffffff8101d7a7>] x86_pmu_commit_txn+0x67/0xc0 [<ffffffff811b07b0>] ? mntput_no_expire+0x30/0x110 [<ffffffff8119c731>] ? path_put+0x31/0x40 [<ffffffff8107c297>] ? current_fs_time+0x27/0x30 [<ffffffff8117d170>] ? mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat_from_page+0x20/0x70 [<ffffffff8111b7aa>] group_sched_in+0x13a/0x170 [<ffffffff81014a29>] ? sched_clock+0x9/0x10 [<ffffffff8111bac8>] ctx_sched_in+0x2e8/0x330 [<ffffffff8111bb7b>] perf_event_sched_in+0x6b/0xb0 [<ffffffff8111bc36>] perf_event_context_sched_in+0x76/0xc0 [<ffffffff8111eb3b>] perf_event_comm+0x1bb/0x2e0 [<ffffffff81195ee9>] set_task_comm+0x69/0x80 [<ffffffff81195fe1>] setup_new_exec+0xe1/0x2e0 [<ffffffff811ea68e>] load_elf_binary+0x3ce/0x1ab0 Adding cpu_(prepare|starting|dying) for core_pmu to have shared_regs data allocated for core_pmu.

During some code analysis I realized that atomic_add(), atomic_sub() and friends are not necessarily inlined AND that each function is defined multiple times: atomic_inc: 544 duplicates atomic_dec: 215 duplicates atomic_dec_and_test: 107 duplicates atomic64_inc: 38 duplicates [...] Each definition is exact equally, e.g.: ffffffff813171b8 <atomic_add>: 55 push %rbp 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp f0 01 3e lock add %edi,(%rsi) 5d pop %rbp c3 retq In turn each definition has one or more callsites (sure): ffffffff81317c78: e8 3b f5 ff ff callq ffffffff813171b8 <atomic_add> [...] ffffffff8131a062: e8 51 d1 ff ff callq ffffffff813171b8 <atomic_add> [...] ffffffff8131a190: e8 23 d0 ff ff callq ffffffff813171b8 <atomic_add> [...] The other way around would be to remove the static linkage - but I prefer an enforced inlining here.

The host's decision to enable machine check exceptions should remain in force during non-root mode. KVM was writing 0 to cr4 on VCPU reset and passed a slightly-modified 0 to the vmcs.guest_cr4 value. Tested: Built. On earlier version, tested by injecting machine check while a guest is spinning. Before the change, if guest CR4.MCE==0, then the machine check is escalated to Catastrophic Error (CATERR) and the machine dies. If guest CR4.MCE==1, then the machine check causes VMEXIT and is handled normally by host Linux. After the change, injecting a machine check causes normal Linux machine check handling. Signed-off-by:
