x86: fall back on interrupt disable in cmpxchg8b on 80386 and 80486
Actually, on 386, cmpxchg and cmpxchg_local fall back on
cmpxchg_386_u8/16/32: it disables interruptions around non atomic
updates to mimic the cmpxchg behavior.
The comment:
/* Poor man's cmpxchg for 386. Unsuitable for SMP */
already present in cmpxchg_386_u32 tells much about how this cmpxchg
implementation should not be used in a SMP context. However, the cmpxchg_local
can perfectly use this fallback, since it only needs to be atomic wrt the local
cpu.
This patch adds a cmpxchg_486_u64 and uses it as a fallback for cmpxchg64
and cmpxchg64_local on 80386 and 80486.
Q:
but why is it called cmpxchg_486 when the other functions are called
A:
Because the standard cmpxchg is missing only on 386, but cmpxchg8b is
missing both on 386 and 486.
Citing Intel's Instruction set reference:
cmpxchg:
This instruction is not supported on Intel processors earlier than the
Intel486 processors.
cmpxchg8b:
This instruction encoding is not supported on Intel processors earlier
than the Pentium processors.
Q:
What's the reason to have cmpxchg64_local on 32 bit architectures?
Without that need all this would just be a few simple defines.
A:
cmpxchg64_local on 32 bits architectures takes unsigned long long
parameters, but cmpxchg_local only takes longs. Since we have cmpxchg8b
to execute a 8 byte cmpxchg atomically on pentium and +, it makes sense
to provide a flavor of cmpxchg and cmpxchg_local using this instruction.
Also, for 32 bits architectures lacking the 64 bits atomic cmpxchg, it
makes sense _not_ to define cmpxchg64 while cmpxchg could still be
available.
Moreover, the fallback for cmpxchg8b on i386 for 386 and 486 is a
However, cmpxchg64_local will be emulated by disabling interrupts on all
architectures where it is not supported atomically.
Therefore, we *could* turn cmpxchg64_local into a cmpxchg_local, but it
would make the 386/486 fallbacks ugly, make its design different from
cmpxchg/cmpxchg64 (which really depends on atomic operations and cannot
be emulated) and require the __cmpxchg_local to be expressed as a macro
rather than an inline function so the parameters would not be fixed to
unsigned long long in every case.
So I think cmpxchg64_local makes sense there, but I am open to
suggestions.
Q:
Are there any callers?
A:
I am actually using it in LTTng in my timestamping code. I use it to
work around CPUs with asynchronous TSCs. I need to update 64 bits
values atomically on this 32 bits architecture.

x86: ptrace fs/gs_base
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.

x86 vDSO: generate vdso-syms.lds
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.

x86: randomize brk
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.

x86: remove -maccumulate-outgoing-args on 32-bit
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):
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.

x86: remove extern declarations for code, data, bss resources
This patch removes the extern struct resource declarations for
data_resource, code_resource and bss_resource on x86 and declares that
three structures as static as done on other architectures like IA64.
On i386, these structures are moved to setup_32.c (from e820_32.c) because
that's code that is not specific to e820 and also required on EFI systems.
That makes the "extern" reference superfluous.
On x86_64, data_resource, code_resource and bss_resource are passed to
e820_reserve_resources() as arguments just as done on i386 and IA64. That
also avoids the "extern" reference and it's possible to make it static.
