2020-09-03x86/build: Warn on orphan section placementKees Cook
We don't want to depend on the linker's orphan section placement heuristics as these can vary between linkers, and may change between versions. All sections need to be explicitly handled in the linker script. Now that all sections are explicitly handled, enable orphan section warnings.

2020-07-24x86/build: Move max-page-size option to LDFLAGS_vmlinuxArvind Sankar
This option is only required for vmlinux on 64-bit, to enforce 2MiB alignment, so set it in LDFLAGS_vmlinux instead of KBUILD_LDFLAGS. Also drop the ld-option check: this option was added in binutils-2.18 and all the other places that use it already don't have the check. This reduces the size of the intermediate ELF files arch/x86/boot/setup.elf and arch/x86/realmode/rm/realmode.elf by about 2MiB each. The binary versions are unchanged. Move the LDFLAGS settings to all be together and just after CFLAGS settings are done.

bzlilo is an installation target because it copies files to $(INSTALL_PATH)/, then runs 'lilo'.

2020-04-09x86: probe assembler capabilities via kconfig instead of makefileJason A. Donenfeld
Doing this probing inside of the Makefiles means we have a maze of ifdefs inside the source code and child Makefiles that need to make proper decisions on this too. Instead, we do it at Kconfig time, like many other compiler and assembler options, which allows us to set up the dependencies normally for full compilation units. In the process, the ADX test changes to use %eax instead of %r10 so that it's valid in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode. Signed-off-by: Jason A.

GCC9 build warning One of the very few warnings I have in the current build comes from arch/x86/boot/edd.c, where I get the following with a gcc9 build: arch/x86/boot/edd.c: In function ‘query_edd’: arch/x86/boot/edd.c:148:11: warning: taking address of packed member of ‘struct boot_params’ may result in an unaligned pointer value [-Waddress-of-packed-member] 148 | mbrptr = boot_params.edd_mbr_sig_buffer; | ^~~~~~~~~~~ This warning triggers because we throw away all the CFLAGS and then make a new set for REALMODE_CFLAGS, so the -Wno-address-of-packed-member we added in the following commit is not present: 6f303d60534c ("gcc-9: silence 'address-of-packed-member' warning") The simplest solution for now is to adjust the warning for this version of CFLAGS as well, but it would definitely make sense to examine whether REALMODE_CFLAGS could be derived from CFLAGS, so that it picks up changes in the compiler flags environment automatically.

2019-03-28x86/retpolines: Disable switch jump tables when retpolines are enabledDaniel Borkmann
Commit ce02ef06fcf7 ("x86, retpolines: Raise limit for generating indirect calls from switch-case") raised the limit under retpolines to 20 switch cases where gcc would only then start to emit jump tables, and therefore effectively disabling the emission of slow indirect calls in this area. After this has been brought to attention to gcc folks [0], Martin Liska has then fixed gcc to align with clang by avoiding to generate switch jump tables entirely under retpolines. This is taking effect in gcc starting from stable version 8.4.0. Given kernel supports compilation with older versions of gcc where the fix is not being available or backported anymore, we need to keep the extra KBUILD_CFLAGS around for some time and generally set the -fno-jump-tables to align with what more recent gcc is doing automatically today. More than 20 switch cases are not expected to be fast-path critical, but it would still be good to align with gcc behavior for versions < 8.4.0 in order to have consistency across supported gcc versions. vmlinux size is slightly growing by 0.27% for older gcc. This flag is only set to work around affected gcc, no change for clang.

2019-02-28x86, retpolines: Raise limit for generating indirect calls from switch-caseDaniel Borkmann
From networking side, there are numerous attempts to get rid of indirect calls in fast-path wherever feasible in order to avoid the cost of retpolines, for example, just to name a few: * 283c16a2dfd3 ("indirect call wrappers: helpers to speed-up indirect calls of builtin") * aaa5d90b395a ("net: use indirect call wrappers at GRO network layer") * 028e0a476684 ("net: use indirect call wrappers at GRO transport layer") * 356da6d0cde3 ("dma-mapping: bypass indirect calls for dma-direct") * 09772d92cd5a ("bpf: avoid retpoline for lookup/update/delete calls on maps") * 10870dd89e95 ("netfilter: nf_tables: add direct calls for all builtin expressions") [...] Recent work on XDP from Björn and Magnus additionally found that manually transforming the XDP return code switch statement with more than 5 cases into if-else combination would result in a considerable speedup in XDP layer due to avoidance of indirect calls in CONFIG_RETPOLINE enabled builds. On i40e driver with XDP prog attached, a 20-26% speedup has been observed [0]. Aside from XDP, there are many other places later in the networking stack's critical path with similar switch-case processing. Rather than fixing every XDP-enabled driver and locations in stack by hand, it would be good to instead raise the limit where gcc would emit expensive indirect calls from the switch under retpolines and stick with the default as-is in case of !retpoline configured kernels. This would also have the advantage that for archs where this is not necessary, we let compiler select the underlying target optimization for these constructs and avoid potential slow-downs by if-else hand-rewrite. In case of gcc, this setting is controlled by case-values-threshold which has an architecture global default that selects 4 or 5 (latter if target does not have a case insn that compares the bounds) where some arch back ends like arm64 or s390 override it with their own target hooks, for example, in gcc commit db7a90aa0de5 ("S/390: Disable prediction of indirect branches") the threshold pretty much disables jump tables by limit of 20 under retpoline builds. Comparing gcc's and clang's default code generation on x86-64 under O2 level with retpoline build results in the following outcome for 5 switch cases: * gcc with -mindirect-branch=thunk-inline -mindirect-branch-register: # gdb -batch -ex 'disassemble dispatch' ./c-switch Dump of assembler code for function dispatch: 0x0000000000400be0 <+0>: cmp $0x4,%edi 0x0000000000400be3 <+3>: ja 0x400c35 <dispatch+85> 0x0000000000400be5 <+5>: lea 0x915f8(%rip),%rdx # 0x4921e4 0x0000000000400bec <+12>: mov %edi,%edi 0x0000000000400bee <+14>: movslq (%rdx,%rdi,4),%rax 0x0000000000400bf2 <+18>: add %rdx,%rax 0x0000000000400bf5 <+21>: callq 0x400c01 <dispatch+33> 0x0000000000400bfa <+26>: pause 0x0000000000400bfc <+28>: lfence 0x0000000000400bff <+31>: jmp 0x400bfa <dispatch+26> 0x0000000000400c01 <+33>: mov %rax,(%rsp) 0x0000000000400c05 <+37>: retq 0x0000000000400c06 <+38>: nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 0x0000000000400c10 <+48>: jmpq 0x400c90 <fn_3> 0x0000000000400c15 <+53>: nopl (%rax) 0x0000000000400c18 <+56>: jmpq 0x400c70 <fn_2> 0x0000000000400c1d <+61>: nopl (%rax) 0x0000000000400c20 <+64>: jmpq 0x400c50 <fn_1> 0x0000000000400c25 <+69>: nopl (%rax) 0x0000000000400c28 <+72>: jmpq 0x400c40 <fn_0> 0x0000000000400c2d <+77>: nopl (%rax) 0x0000000000400c30 <+80>: jmpq 0x400cb0 <fn_4> 0x0000000000400c35 <+85>: push %rax 0x0000000000400c36 <+86>: callq 0x40dd80 <abort> End of assembler dump. * clang with -mretpoline emitting search tree: # gdb -batch -ex 'disassemble dispatch' ./c-switch Dump of assembler code for function dispatch: 0x0000000000400b30 <+0>: cmp $0x1,%edi 0x0000000000400b33 <+3>: jle 0x400b44 <dispatch+20> 0x0000000000400b35 <+5>: cmp $0x2,%edi 0x0000000000400b38 <+8>: je 0x400b4d <dispatch+29> 0x0000000000400b3a <+10>: cmp $0x3,%edi 0x0000000000400b3d <+13>: jne 0x400b52 <dispatch+34> 0x0000000000400b3f <+15>: jmpq 0x400c50 <fn_3> 0x0000000000400b44 <+20>: test %edi,%edi 0x0000000000400b46 <+22>: jne 0x400b5c <dispatch+44> 0x0000000000400b48 <+24>: jmpq 0x400c20 <fn_0> 0x0000000000400b4d <+29>: jmpq 0x400c40 <fn_2> 0x0000000000400b52 <+34>: cmp $0x4,%edi 0x0000000000400b55 <+37>: jne 0x400b66 <dispatch+54> 0x0000000000400b57 <+39>: jmpq 0x400c60 <fn_4> 0x0000000000400b5c <+44>: cmp $0x1,%edi 0x0000000000400b5f <+47>: jne 0x400b66 <dispatch+54> 0x0000000000400b61 <+49>: jmpq 0x400c30 <fn_1> 0x0000000000400b66 <+54>: push %rax 0x0000000000400b67 <+55>: callq 0x40dd20 <abort> End of assembler dump.

Raising the cases to a high number (e.g. 100) will still result in similar code generation pattern with clang and gcc as above, in other words clang generally turns off jump table emission by having an extra expansion pass under retpoline build to turn indirectbr instructions from their IR into switch instructions as a built-in -mno-jump-table lowering of a switch (in this case, even if IR input already contained an indirect branch). For gcc, adding --param=case-values-threshold=20 as in similar fashion as s390 in order to raise the limit for x86 retpoline enabled builds results in a small vmlinux size increase of only 0.13% (before=18,027,528 after=18,051,192). For clang this option is ignored due to i) not being needed as mentioned and ii) not having above cmdline parameter. Non-retpoline-enabled builds with gcc continue to use the default case-values-threshold setting, so nothing changes here.

In the meantime, minimal required gas version is 2.20 so all those workarounds for older binutils can be dropped.

2019-01-06jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to KconfigMasahiro Yamada
Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label". The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined like this: #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL) # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL #endif We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO. Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will match to the real kernel capability.

2018-12-05x86/build: Fix compiler support check for CONFIG_RETPOLINEMasahiro Yamada
It is troublesome to add a diagnostic like this to the Makefile parse stage because the top-level Makefile could be parsed with a stale include/config/auto.conf. Once you are hit by the error about non-retpoline compiler, the compilation still breaks even after disabling CONFIG_RETPOLINE.

2018-11-05x86/build: Remove -pipe from KBUILD_CFLAGSNathan Chancellor
Commit 77b0bf55bc67 ("kbuild/Makefile: Prepare for using macros in inline assembly code to work around asm() related GCC inlining bugs") added -Wa,- to KBUILD_CFLAGS, which breaks compiling with Clang (hangs indefinitely at compiling init/main.o). This happens because while Clang accepts -pipe (and has it documented in its list of supported flags), it silently ignores it after this 2010 commit (thanks to Nick Desaulniers for tracking this down), meaning that gas just infinitely waits for stdin and never receives it. https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/commit/c19a12dc3d441bec62eed55e312b76c12d6d9022 Initially, I had suggested just add -Wa,- to KBUILD_CFLAGS when GCC was being used but that was before realizing it is because Clang doesn't do anything with -pipe. H. Peter Anvin suggested checking to see if -pipe gives us any gains out of GCC. Turns out it might actually be hurting: With -pipe: real 3m40.813s real 3m44.449s real 3m39.648s Without -pipe: real 3m38.492s real 3m38.335s real 3m38.975s The issue of -Wa,- being passed along to gas without -pipe being supported should still probably be fixed on the LLVM side (open issue: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39410) but this is not as much of a workaround anymore since it helps both GCC and Clang.

2018-10-04kbuild/Makefile: Prepare for using macros in inline assembly code to work ↵Nadav Amit
around asm() related GCC inlining bugs Using macros in inline assembly allows us to work around bugs in GCC's inlining decisions. Compile macros.S and use it to assemble all C files. Currently only x86 will use it. Background: The inlining pass of GCC doesn't include an assembler, so it's not aware of basic properties of the generated code, such as its size in bytes, or that there are such things as discontiuous blocks of code and data due to the newfangled linker feature called 'sections' ... Instead GCC uses a lazy and fragile heuristic: it does a linear count of certain syntactic and whitespace elements in inlined assembly block source code, such as a count of new-lines and semicolons (!), as a poor substitute for "code size and complexity". Unsurprisingly this heuristic falls over and breaks its neck whith certain common types of kernel code that use inline assembly, such as the frequent practice of putting useful information into alternative sections. As a result of this fresh, 20+ years old GCC bug, GCC's inlining decisions are effectively disabled for inlined functions that make use of such asm() blocks, because GCC thinks those sections of code are "large" - when in reality they are often result in just a very low number of machine instructions. This absolute lack of inlining provess when GCC comes across such asm() blocks both increases generated kernel code size and causes performance overhead, which is particularly noticeable on paravirt kernels, which make frequent use of these inlining facilities in attempt to stay out of the way when running on baremetal hardware. Instead of fixing the compiler we use a workaround: we set an assembly macro and call it from the inlined assembly block. As a result GCC considers the inline assembly block as a single instruction. (Which it often isn't but I digress.) This uglifies and bloats the source code - for example just the refcount related changes have this impact: Makefile | 9 +++++++-- arch/x86/Makefile | 7 +++++++ arch/x86/kernel/macros.S | 7 +++++++ scripts/Kbuild.include | 4 +++- scripts/mod/Makefile | 2 ++ 5 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) Yay readability and maintainability, it's not like assembly code is hard to read and maintain ... We also hope that GCC will eventually get fixed, but we are not holding our breath for that. Yet we are optimistic, it might still happen, any decade now.

2018-01-14x86/retpoline: Remove compile time warningThomas Gleixner
Remove the compile time warning when CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y and the compiler does not have retpoline support. Linus rationale for this is: It's wrong because it will just make people turn off RETPOLINE, and the asm updates - and return stack clearing - that are independent of the compiler are likely the most important parts because they are likely the ones easiest to target. And it's annoying because most people won't be able to do anything about it. The number of people building their own compiler? Very small. So if their distro hasn't got a compiler yet (and pretty much nobody does), the warning is just annoying crap. It is already properly reported as part of the sysfs interface. The compile-time warning only encourages bad things.
