Josh Poimboeuf 3f135e57a4 x86/build: Mostly disable '-maccumulate-outgoing-args'
The GCC '-maccumulate-outgoing-args' flag is enabled for most configs,
mostly because of issues which are no longer relevant.  For most
configs, and with most recent versions of GCC, it's no longer needed.

Clarify which cases need it, and only enable it for those cases.  Also
produce a compile-time error for the ftrace graph + mcount + '-Os' case,
which will otherwise cause runtime failures.

The main benefit of '-maccumulate-outgoing-args' is that it prevents an
ugly prologue for functions which have aligned stacks.  But removing the
option also has some benefits: more readable argument saves, smaller
text size, and (presumably) slightly improved performance.

Here are the object size savings for 32-bit and 64-bit defconfig
kernels:

      text	   data	    bss	     dec	    hex	filename
  10006710	3543328	1773568	15323606	 e9d1d6	vmlinux.x86-32.before
   9706358	3547424	1773568	15027350	 e54c96	vmlinux.x86-32.after

      text	   data	    bss	     dec	    hex	filename
  10652105	4537576	 843776	16033457	 f4a6b1	vmlinux.x86-64.before
  10639629	4537576	 843776	16020981	 f475f5	vmlinux.x86-64.after

That comes out to a 3% text size improvement on x86-32 and a 0.1% text
size improvement on x86-64.

Gayatri Kammela e0a491c129 lib/raid6: Add AVX512 optimized gen_syndrome functions
Optimize RAID6 gen_syndrom functions to take advantage of
the 512-bit ZMM integer instructions introduced in AVX512.

AVX512 optimized gen_syndrom functions, which is simply based
on avx2.c written by Yuanhan Liu and sse2.c written by hpa.

The patch was tested and benchmarked before submission on
a hardware that has AVX512 flags to support such instructions

Kees Cook c965b105bf kbuild: abort build on bad stack protector flag
Before, the stack protector flag was sanity checked before .config had
been reprocessed.  This meant the build couldn't be aborted early, and
only a warning could be emitted followed later by the compiler blowing
up with an unknown flag.  This has caused a lot of confusion over time,
so this splits the flag selection from sanity checking and performs the
sanity checking after the make has been restarted from a reprocessed
.config, so builds can be aborted as early as possible now.

Additionally moves the x86-specific sanity check to the same location,
since it suffered from the same warn-then-wait-for-compiler-failure
problem.

Luis R. Rodriguez 8d152e7a5c x86/rtc: Replace paravirt rtc check with platform legacy quirk
We have 4 types of x86 platforms that disable RTC:

  * Intel MID
  * Lguest - uses paravirt
  * Xen dom-U - uses paravirt
  * x86 on legacy systems annotated with an ACPI legacy flag

We can consolidate all of these into a platform specific legacy
quirk set early in boot through i386_start_kernel() and through
x86_64_start_reservations(). This deals with the RTC quirks which
we can rely on through the hardware subarch, the ACPI check can
be dealt with separately.

For Xen things are bit more complex given that the @X86_SUBARCH_XEN
x86_hardware_subarch is shared on for Xen which uses the PV path for
both domU and dom0. Since the semantics for differentiating between
the two are Xen specific we provide a platform helper to help override
default legacy features -- x86_platform.set_legacy_features(). Use
of this helper is highly discouraged, its only purpose should be
to account for the lack of semantics available within your given
x86_hardware_subarch.

As per 0-day, this bumps the vmlinux size using i386-tinyconfig as
follows:

TOTAL   TEXT   init.text    x86_early_init_platform_quirks()
+70     +62    +62          +43

Only 8 bytes overhead total, as the main increase in size is
all removed via __init.

Andy Lutomirski b2c51106c7 x86/build: Fix detection of GCC -mpreferred-stack-boundary support
As per:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53383

GCC only allows -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 on x86_64 if -mno-sse is set.
That means that cc-option will not detect -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3
support, because we test for it before setting -mno-sse.

Fix it by reordering the Makefile bits.

Compile-tested only.  This should help avoid code generation
issues such as the one that was worked around in:

  b96fecbfa8 ("x86/fpu: Fix boot crash in the early FPU code")

I'm a bit concerned that we could still have problems on older
GCC versions given that our asm code does not respect GCC's idea
of the ABI-required stack alignment.

Ingo Molnar 131484c8da x86/debug: Remove perpetually broken, unmaintainable dwarf annotations
So the dwarf2 annotations in low level assembly code have
become an increasing hindrance: unreadable, messy macros
mixed into some of the most security sensitive code paths
of the Linux kernel.

These debug info annotations don't even buy the upstream
kernel anything: dwarf driven stack unwinding has caused
problems in the past so it's out of tree, and the upstream
kernel only uses the much more robust framepointers based
stack unwinding method.

In addition to that there's a steady, slow bitrot going
on with these annotations, requiring frequent fixups.
There's no tooling and no functionality upstream that
keeps it correct.

So burn down the sick forest, allowing new, healthier growth:

   27 files changed, 350 insertions(+), 1101 deletions(-)

Someone who has the willingness and time to do this
properly can attempt to reintroduce dwarf debuginfo in x86
assembly code plus dwarf unwinding from first principles,
with the following conditions:

 - it should be maximally readable, and maximally low-key to
   'ordinary' code reading and maintenance.

 - find a build time method to insert dwarf annotations
   automatically in the most common cases, for pop/push
   instructions that manipulate the stack pointer. This could
   be done for example via a preprocessing step that just
   looks for common patterns - plus special annotations for
   the few cases where we want to depart from the default.
   We have hundreds of CFI annotations, so automating most of
   that makes sense.

 - it should come with build tooling checks that ensure that
   CFI annotations are sensible. We've seen such efforts from
   the framepointer side, and there's no reason it couldn't be
   done on the dwarf side.

Ingo Molnar 52648e83c9 x86: Pack loops tightly as well
Packing 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:

  be6cb02779 ("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.

Ingo Molnar be6cb02779 x86: Align jump targets to 1-byte boundaries
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).

H.J. Lu d9ee948d82 x86/asm: Use -mskip-rax-setup if supported
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.

This GCC feature was suggested by Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>.
This is the corresponding kernel change using it.

For kernel v3.17:

      text   data    bss    dec       filename

Rasmus Villemoes 5c63008944 x86/kbuild: Eliminate duplicate command line options
The options -mno-mmx and -mno-sse are unconditionally added to
KBUILD_CFLAGS in both branches of an ifeq and through a
$(cc-option) further down. We can safely remove the first
instances.

In fact, since the -mno-mmx and -mno-sse options were introduced
simultaneous with the other two options in the $(cc-option)
[according to http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-3.1/changes.html],
and since the former were unconditionally used, one can deduce that
only gcc versions knowing about all four are supported. So also
eliminate the $(cc-option) wrap.

Vivek Goyal 74ca317c26 kexec: create a new config option CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE for new syscall
Currently new system call kexec_file_load() and all the associated code
compiles if CONFIG_KEXEC=y.  But new syscall also compiles purgatory
code which currently uses gcc option -mcmodel=large.  This option seems
to be available only gcc 4.4 onwards.

Hiding new functionality behind a new config option will not break
existing users of old gcc.  Those who wish to enable new functionality
will require new gcc.  Having said that, I am trying to figure out how
can I move away from using -mcmodel=large but that can take a while.

I think there are other advantages of introducing this new config
option.  As this option will be enabled only on x86_64, other arches
don't have to compile generic kexec code which will never be used.  This
new code selects CRYPTO=y and CRYPTO_SHA256=y.  And all other arches had
to do this for CONFIG_KEXEC.  Now with introduction of new config
option, we can remove crypto dependency from other arches.

Now CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is available only on x86_64.  So whereever I had
CONFIG_X86_64 defined, I got rid of that.

For CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE, instead of doing select CRYPTO=y, I changed it to
"depends on CRYPTO=y".  This should be safer as "select" is not
recursive.

Vivek Goyal 8fc5b4d412 purgatory: core purgatory functionality
Create a stand alone relocatable object purgatory which runs between two
kernels.  This name, concept and some code has been taken from
kexec-tools.  Idea is that this code runs after a crash and it runs in
minimal environment.  So keep it separate from rest of the kernel and in
long term we will have to practically do no maintenance of this code.

This code also has the logic to do verify sha256 hashes of various
segments which have been loaded into memory.  So first we verify that the
kernel we are jumping to is fine and has not been corrupted and make
progress only if checsums are verified.

This code also takes care of copying some memory contents to backup region.

Disable the generation of those too. This will save people a lot of time
when trying to debug such issues by erroring out of the build instead of
let them manifest themselves in very spectacular and happy-crappy ways
at runtime.

We're using -mno-fp-ret-in-387 in addition to -mno-80387 (which is ==
-msoft-float) because, as the gcc manpage says:

  On machines where a function returns floating-point results in the
  80387 register stack, some floating-point opcodes may be emitted even
  if -msoft-float is used.

so we want to turn off *all* non-integer instructions involving any
architectural FPU state, unless it is absolutely necessary (and those
cases need special handling anyway).

David Woodhouse de3accdaec x86, build: Build 16-bit code with -m16 where possible
Both clang 3.5 and GCC 4.9 will support this (as of r199754 and r207196
respectively). Both have been tested to produce booting kernels when the
16-bit code is built with -m16. (Modulo LLVM PR3997, at least.)

In checkin

    5551a34e5a x86-64, build: Always pass in -mno-sse

we unconditionally added -mno-sse to the main build, to keep newer
compilers from generating SSE instructions from autovectorization.
However, this did not extend to the special environments
(arch/x86/boot, arch/x86/boot/compressed, and arch/x86/realmode/rm).
Add -mno-sse to the compiler command line for these environments, and
add -mno-mmx to all the environments as well, as we don't want a
compiler to generate MMX code either.

This patch also removes a $(cc-option) call for -m32, since we have
long since stopped supporting compilers too old for the -m32 option,
and in fact hardcode it in other places in the Makefiles.

Always pass in the -mno-sse argument, regardless if
-preferred-stack-boundary is supported.  We never want to generate SSE
instructions in the kernel unless we *really* know what we're doing.

According to H. J. Lu, any version of gcc new enough that we support
it at all should handle the -mno-sse option, so just add it
unconditionally.

Kees Cook a021506107 x86, relocs: Move ELF relocation handling to C
Moves the relocation handling into C, after decompression. This requires
that the decompressed size is passed to the decompression routine as
well so that relocations can be found. Only kernels that need relocation
support will use the code (currently just x86_32), but this is laying
the ground work for 64-bit using it in support of KASLR.

Based on work by Neill Clift and Michael Davidson.

Pull two x86 kernel build changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The first change modifies how 'make oldconfig' works on cross-bitness
  situations on x86.  It was felt the new behavior of preserving the
  bitness of the .config is more logical.  This is a leftover of the
  merge.

  The second change eliminates a Perl warning.  (There's another, more
  complete fix resulting of this warning fix, which second fix in flight
  to you via the kbuild tree, which will remove the timeconst.pl script
  altogether.)"

  x86: Default to ARCH=x86 to avoid overriding CONFIG_64BIT
2013-02-19 19:12:03 -08:00
David Woodhouse ffee0de411 x86: Default to ARCH=x86 to avoid overriding CONFIG_64BIT
It is easy to waste a bunch of time when one takes a 32-bit .config
from a test machine and try to build it on a faster 64-bit system, and
its existing setting of CONFIG_64BIT=n gets *changed* to match the
build host.  Similarly, if one has an existing build tree it is easy
to trash an entire build tree that way.

This is because the default setting for $ARCH when discovered from
'uname' is one of the legacy pre-x86-merge values (i386 or x86_64),
which effectively force the setting of CONFIG_64BIT to match. We should
default to ARCH=x86 instead, finally completing the merge that we
started so long ago.

This patch preserves the behaviour of the legacy ARCH settings for commands
such as:

   make ARCH=x86_64 randconfig
   make ARCH=i386 randconfig

... since making the value of CONFIG_64BIT actually random in that situation
is not desirable.

In time, perhaps we can retire this legacy use of the old ARCH= values.
We already have a way to override values for *any* config option, using
$KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, so it could be argued that we don't necessarily need
to keep ARCH={i386,x86_64} around as a special case just for overriding
CONFIG_64BIT.

We'd probably at least want to add a way to override config options from
the command line ('make CONFIG_FOO=y oldconfig') before we talk about doing
that though.
