Linux as a guest on KVM hypervisor, the only user of the pvclock vsyscall interface, does not require notification on task migration because: 1. cpu ID number maps 1:1 to per-CPU pvclock time info. 2. per-CPU pvclock time info is updated if the underlying CPU changes. 3. that version is increased whenever underlying CPU changes. Which is sufficient to guarantee nanoseconds counter is calculated properly.

Currently seqlocks and seqcounts don't support lockdep. After running across a seqcount related deadlock in the timekeeping code, I used a less-refined and more focused variant of this patch to narrow down the cause of the issue. This is a first-pass attempt to properly enable lockdep functionality on seqlocks and seqcounts. Since seqcounts are used in the vdso gettimeofday code, I've provided non-lockdep accessors for those needs. I've also handled one case where there were nested seqlock writers and there may be more edge cases. Comments and feedback would be appreciated!

The compat vDSO is a complicated hack that's needed to maintain compatibility with a small range of glibc versions. This removes it and replaces it with a much simpler hack: a config option to disable the 32-bit vDSO by default. This also changes the default value of CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO to n -- users configuring kernels from scratch almost certainly want that choice.

This patch add the VDSO time support for the IA32 Emulation Layer. Due the nature of the kernel headers and the LP64 compiler where the size of a long and a pointer differs against a 32 bit compiler, there is some type hacking necessary for optimal performance. The vsyscall_gtod_data struture must be a rearranged to serve 32- and 64-bit code access at the same time: - The seqcount_t was replaced by an unsigned, this makes the vsyscall_gtod_data intedepend of kernel configuration and internal functions. - All kernel internal structures are replaced by fix size elements which works for 32- and 64-bit access - The inner struct clock was removed to pack the whole struct. The "unsigned seq" would be handled by functions derivated from seqcount_t.

This replaces a decent amount of incomprehensible and buggy code with much more straightforward code. It also brings the 32-bit vdso more in line with the 64-bit vdsos, so maybe someday they can share even more code. This wastes a small amount of kernel .data and .text space, but it avoids a couple of allocations on startup, so it should be more or less a wash memory-wise.

This code is used during CPU setup, and it isn't strictly speaking related to the 32-bit vdso. It's easier to understand how this works when the code is closer to its callers.

Currently, vdso.so files are prepared and analyzed by a combination of objcopy, nm, some linker script tricks, and some simple ELF parsers in the kernel. Replace all of that with plain C code that runs at build time. All five vdso images now generate .c files that are compiled and linked in to the kernel image. This should cause only one userspace-visible change: the loaded vDSO images are stripped more heavily than they used to be. Everything outside the loadable segment is dropped. In particular, this causes the section table and section name strings to be missing. This should be fine: real dynamic loaders don't load or inspect these tables anyway. The result is roughly equivalent to eu-strip's --strip-sections option. The purpose of this change is to enable the vvar and hpet mappings to be moved to the page following the vDSO load segment. Currently, it is possible for the section table to extend into the page after the load segment, so, if we map it, it risks overlapping the vvar or hpet page. This happens whenever the load segment is just under a multiple of PAGE_SIZE. The only real subtlety here is that the old code had a C file with inline assembler that did 'call VDSO32_vsyscall' and a linker script that defined 'VDSO32_vsyscall = __kernel_vsyscall'. This most likely worked by accident: the linker script entry defines a symbol associated with an address as opposed to an alias for the real dynamic symbol __kernel_vsyscall. That caused ld to relocate the reference at link time instead of leaving an interposable dynamic relocation. Since the VDSO32_vsyscall hack is no longer needed, I now use 'call __kernel_vsyscall', and I added -Bsymbolic to make it work. vdso2c will generate an error and abort the build if the resulting image contains any dynamic relocations, so we won't silently generate bad vdso images. (Dynamic relocations are a problem because nothing will even attempt to relocate the vdso.)

Using arch_vma_name to give special mappings a name is awkward. x86 currently implements it by comparing the start address of the vma to the expected address of the vdso. This requires tracking the start address of special mappings and is probably buggy if a special vma is split or moved. Improve _install_special_mapping to just name the vma directly. Use it to give the x86 vvar area a name, which should make CRIU's life easier. As a side effect, the vvar area will show up in core dumps. This could be considered weird and is fixable.

Fully stripping the vDSO has other unfortunate side effects: - binutils is unable to find ELF notes without a SHT_NOTE section. - Even elfutils has trouble: it can find ELF notes without a section table at all, but if a section table is present, it won't look for PT_NOTE. - gdb wants section names to match between stripped DSOs and their symbols; otherwise it will corrupt symbol addresses. We're also breaking the rules: section 0 is supposed to be SHT_NULL. Fix these problems by building a better fake section table. While we're at it, we might as well let buggy Go versions keep working well by giving the SHT_DYNSYM entry the correct size. This is a bit unfortunate: it adds quite a bit of size to the vdso image. If/when binutils improves and the improved versions become widespread, it would be worth considering dropping most of this.

.data doesn't need to be separate from .rodata: they're both readonly. .altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement aren't needed by anything except vdso2c; strip them from the final image. While we're at it, rather than aligning the actual executable text, just shove some unused-at-runtime data in between real data and text. My vdso image is still above 4k, but I'm disinclined to try to trim it harder for 3.16. For future trimming, I suspect that these sections could be moved to later in the file and dropped from the in-memory image: .gnu.version and .gnu.version_d (this may lose versions in gdb) .eh_frame (should be harmless) .eh_frame_hdr (I'm not really sure) .hash (AFAIK nothing needs this section header) Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/2e96d0c49016ea6d026a614ae645e93edd325961.1403129369.git.luto@amacapital.net Signed-off-by: H.

With this change, doing 'make vdso_install' and telling gdb: set debug-file-directory /lib/modules/KVER/vdso will enable vdso debugging with symbols. This is useful for testing, but kernel RPM builds will probably want to manually delete these symlinks or otherwise do something sensible when they strip the vdso/*.so files. If ld does not support --build-id, then the symlinks will not be created. Note that kernel packagers that use vdso_install may need to adjust their packaging scripts to accomdate this change. For example, Fedora's scripts create build-id symlinks themselves in a different location, so the spec should probably be updated to remove the symlinks created by make vdso_install.

DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING turns off branch profiling (i.e. a redefinition of 'if'). Branch profiling depends on a bunch of kernel-internal symbols and generates extra output sections, none of which are useful or functional in the vDSO. It's currently turned off for vclock_gettime.c, but vgetcpu.c also triggers branch profiling, so just turn it off in the makefile. This fixes the build on some configurations: the vdso could contain undefined symbols, and the fake section table overflowed due to ftrace's added sections.

vdso2c was checking for various types of relocations to detect when
the vdso had undefined symbols or was otherwise dependent on
relocation at load time. Undefined symbols in the vdso would fail if
accessed at runtime, and certain implementation errors (e.g. branch
profiling or incorrect symbol visibilities) could result in data
access through the GOT that requires relocations. This could be
as simple as:
extern char foo;
return foo;
Without some kind of visibility control, the compiler would assume
that foo could be interposed at load time and would generate a
relocation.
x86-64 and x32 (as opposed to i386) use explicit-addent (RELA) instead
of implicit-addent (REL) relocations for data access, and vdso2c
forgot to detect those.
Whether these bad relocations would actually fail at runtime depends
on what the linker sticks in the unrelocated references. Nonetheless,
these relocations have no business existing in the vDSO and should be
fixed rather than silently ignored.
This error could trigger on some configurations due to branch
profiling. The previous patch fixed that.

Relying on static functions used just once to get inlined (and subsequently have dead code paths eliminated) is wrong: Compilers are free to decide whether they do this, regardless of optimization level. With this not happening for vdso_addr() (observed with gcc 4.1.x), an unresolved reference to align_vdso_addr() causes the build to fail.

Putting the vvar area after the vdso text is rather complicated: it only works of the total length of the vdso text mapping is known at vdso link time, and the linker doesn't allow symbol addresses to depend on the sizes of non-allocatable data after the PT_LOAD segment. Moving the vvar area before the vdso text will allow is to safely map non-allocatable data after the vdso text, which is a nice simplification.

Now that we can tolerate extra things dangling off the end of the
vdso image, we can strip the vdso the old fashioned way rather than
using an overcomplicated custom stripping algorithm.

The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if !defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR). This default is only useful for ia64. arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it. arm, 32-bit UML, and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations. This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64. This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

Stephen Rothwell's compiler did something amazing: it unrolled a loop, discovered that one iteration of that loop contained an always-true test, and emitted a warning that will IMO only serve to convince people to disable the warning. That bogus warning caused me to wonder what prompted such an absurdity from his compiler, and I discovered that the code in question was, in fact, completely wrong -- I was looking things up in the wrong array. This affects 3.16 as well, but the only effect is to screw up the error checking a bit. vdso2c's output is unaffected.

The heuristic was introduced by commit e62e384 ("memcg: prevent OOM with too many dirty pages") and it was applied only when may_enter_fs was specified. The code has been changed by c3b94f4 ("memcg: further prevent OOM with too many dirty pages") which has removed the __GFP_FS restriction with a reasoning that we do not get into the fs code. But this is not sufficient apparently because the fs doesn't necessarily submit pages marked PG_writeback for IO right away. ext4_bio_write_page calls io_submit_add_bh but that doesn't necessarily submit the bio. Instead it tries to map more pages into the bio and mpage_map_one_extent might trigger memcg charge which might end up waiting on a page which is marked PG_writeback but hasn't been submitted yet so we would end up waiting for something that never finishes. Fix this issue by replacing __GFP_IO by may_enter_fs check (for case 2) before we go to wait on the writeback. The page fault path, which is the only path that triggers memcg oom killer since 3.12, shouldn't require GFP_NOFS and so we shouldn't reintroduce the premature OOM killer issue which was originally addressed by the heuristic. As per David Chinner the xfs is doing similar thing since 2.6.15 already so ext4 is not the only affected filesystem. Moreover he notes: : For example: IO completion might require unwritten extent conversion : which executes filesystem transactions and GFP_NOFS allocations. The : writeback flag on the pages can not be cleared until unwritten : extent conversion completes. Hence memory reclaim cannot wait on : page writeback to complete in GFP_NOFS context because it is not : safe to do so, memcg reclaim or otherwise.
