When CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS are enabled, it is required that the
ftrace_caller and ftrace_regs_caller trampolines set up frame pointers
otherwise a stack trace from a function call wont print the functions
that called the trampoline. This is due to a check in
__save_stack_address():
#ifdef CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
if (!reliable)
return;
#endif
The "reliable" variable is only set if the function address is equal to
contents of the address before the address the frame pointer register
points to. If the frame pointer is not set up for the ftrace caller
then this will fail the reliable test. It will miss the function that
called the trampoline. Worse yet, if fentry is used (gcc 4.6 and
beyond), it will also miss the parent, as the fentry is called before
the stack frame is set up. That means the bp frame pointer points
to the stack of just before the parent function was called.

Uncorrected no action required (UCNA) - is a uncorrected recoverable
machine check error that is not signaled via a machine check exception
and, instead, is reported to system software as a corrected machine
check error. UCNA errors indicate that some data in the system is
corrupted, but the data has not been consumed and the processor state
is valid and you may continue execution on this processor. UCNA errors
require no action from system software to continue execution. Note that
UCNA errors are supported by the processor only when IA32_MCG_CAP[24]
(MCG_SER_P) is set.
-- Intel SDM Volume 3B
Deferred errors are errors that cannot be corrected by hardware, but
do not cause an immediate interruption in program flow, loss of data
integrity, or corruption of processor state. These errors indicate
that data has been corrupted but not consumed. Hardware writes information
to the status and address registers in the corresponding bank that
identifies the source of the error if deferred errors are enabled for
logging. Deferred errors are not reported via machine check exceptions;
they can be seen by polling the MCi_STATUS registers.
-- AMD64 APM Volume 2
Above two items, both UCNA and Deferred errors belong to detected
errors, but they can't be corrected by hardware, and this is very
similar to Software Recoverable Action Optional (SRAO) errors.
Therefore, we can take some actions that have been used for handling
SRAO errors to handle UCNA and Deferred errors.

Until now, the mce_severity mechanism can only identify the severity
of UCNA error as MCE_KEEP_SEVERITY. Meanwhile, it is not able to filter
out DEFERRED error for AMD platform.
This patch extends the mce_severity mechanism for handling
UCNA/DEFERRED error. In order to do this, the patch introduces a new
severity level - MCE_UCNA/DEFERRED_SEVERITY.
In addition, mce_severity is specific to machine check exception,
and it will check MCIP/EIPV/RIPV bits. In order to use mce_severity
mechanism in non-exception context, the patch also introduces a new
argument (is_excp) for mce_severity. `is_excp' is used to explicitly
specify the calling context of mce_severity.

This is really the meat of the MPX patch set. If there is one patch to
review in the entire series, this is the one. There is a new ABI here
and this kernel code also interacts with userspace memory in a
relatively unusual manner. (small FAQ below).
Long Description:
This patch adds two prctl() commands to provide enable or disable the
management of bounds tables in kernel, including on-demand kernel
allocation (See the patch "on-demand kernel allocation of bounds tables")
and cleanup (See the patch "cleanup unused bound tables"). Applications
do not strictly need the kernel to manage bounds tables and we expect
some applications to use MPX without taking advantage of this kernel
support. This means the kernel can not simply infer whether an application
needs bounds table management from the MPX registers. The prctl() is an
explicit signal from userspace.
PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT is meant to be a signal from userspace to
require kernel's help in managing bounds tables.
PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT is the opposite, meaning that userspace don't
want kernel's help any more. With PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT, the kernel
won't allocate and free bounds tables even if the CPU supports MPX.
PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT will fetch the base address of the bounds
directory out of a userspace register (bndcfgu) and then cache it into
a new field (->bd_addr) in the 'mm_struct'. PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT
will set "bd_addr" to an invalid address. Using this scheme, we can
use "bd_addr" to determine whether the management of bounds tables in
kernel is enabled.
Also, the only way to access that bndcfgu register is via an xsaves,
which can be expensive. Caching "bd_addr" like this also helps reduce
the cost of those xsaves when doing table cleanup at munmap() time.
Unfortunately, we can not apply this optimization to #BR fault time
because we need an xsave to get the value of BNDSTATUS.
==== Why does the hardware even have these Bounds Tables? ====
MPX only has 4 hardware registers for storing bounds information.
If MPX-enabled code needs more than these 4 registers, it needs to
spill them somewhere. It has two special instructions for this
which allow the bounds to be moved between the bounds registers
and some new "bounds tables".
They are similar conceptually to a page fault and will be raised by
the MPX hardware during both bounds violations or when the tables
are not present. This patch handles those #BR exceptions for
not-present tables by carving the space out of the normal processes
address space (essentially calling the new mmap() interface indroduced
earlier in this patch set.) and then pointing the bounds-directory
over to it.
The tables *need* to be accessed and controlled by userspace because
the instructions for moving bounds in and out of them are extremely
frequent. They potentially happen every time a register pointing to
memory is dereferenced. Any direct kernel involvement (like a syscall)
to access the tables would obviously destroy performance.
==== Why not do this in userspace? ====
This patch is obviously doing this allocation in the kernel.
However, MPX does not strictly *require* anything in the kernel.
It can theoretically be done completely from userspace. Here are
a few ways this *could* be done. I don't think any of them are
practical in the real-world, but here they are.
Q: Can virtual space simply be reserved for the bounds tables so
that we never have to allocate them?
A: As noted earlier, these tables are *HUGE*. An X-GB virtual
area needs 4*X GB of virtual space, plus 2GB for the bounds
directory. If we were to preallocate them for the 128TB of
user virtual address space, we would need to reserve 512TB+2GB,
which is larger than the entire virtual address space today.
This means they can not be reserved ahead of time. Also, a
single process's pre-popualated bounds directory consumes 2GB
of virtual *AND* physical memory. IOW, it's completely
infeasible to prepopulate bounds directories.
Q: Can we preallocate bounds table space at the same time memory
is allocated which might contain pointers that might eventually
need bounds tables?
A: This would work if we could hook the site of each and every
memory allocation syscall. This can be done for small,
constrained applications. But, it isn't practical at a larger
scale since a given app has no way of controlling how all the
parts of the app might allocate memory (think libraries). The
kernel is really the only place to intercept these calls.
Q: Could a bounds fault be handed to userspace and the tables
allocated there in a signal handler instead of in the kernel?
A: (thanks to tglx) mmap() is not on the list of safe async
handler functions and even if mmap() would work it still
requires locking or nasty tricks to keep track of the
allocation state there.
Having ruled out all of the userspace-only approaches for managing
bounds tables that we could think of, we create them on demand in
the kernel.

The current x86 instruction decoder steps along through the
instruction stream but always ensures that it never steps farther
than the largest possible instruction size (MAX_INSN_SIZE).
The MPX code is now going to be doing some decoding of userspace
instructions. We copy those from userspace in to the kernel and
they're obviously completely untrusted coming from userspace. In
addition to the constraint that instructions can only be so long,
we also have to be aware of how long the buffer is that came in
from userspace. This _looks_ to be similar to what the perf and
kprobes is doing, but it's unclear to me whether they are
affected.
The whole reason we need this is that it is perfectly valid to be
executing an instruction within MAX_INSN_SIZE bytes of an
unreadable page. We should be able to gracefully handle short
reads in those cases.
This adds support to the decoder to record how long the buffer
being decoded is and to refuse to "validate" the instruction if
we would have gone over the end of the buffer to decode it.
The kprobes code probably needs to be looked at here a bit more
carefully. This patch still respects the MAX_INSN_SIZE limit
there but the kprobes code does look like it might be able to
be a bit more strict than it currently is.

We have some very similarly named command-line options:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:__setup("noxsave", x86_xsave_setup);
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:__setup("noxsaveopt", x86_xsaveopt_setup);
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:__setup("noxsaves", x86_xsaves_setup);
__setup() is designed to match options that take arguments, like
"foo=bar" where you would have:
__setup("foo", x86_foo_func...);
The problem is that "noxsave" actually _matches_ "noxsaves" in
the same way that "foo" matches "foo=bar". If you boot an old
kernel that does not know about "noxsaves" with "noxsaves" on the
command line, it will interpret the argument as "noxsave", which
is not what you want at all.
This makes the "noxsave" handler only return success when it finds
an *exact* match.

With the introduction of the dynamic trampolines, it is useful that if
things go wrong that ftrace_bug() produces more information about what
the current state is. This can help debug issues that may arise.
Ftrace has lots of checks to make sure that the state of the system it
touchs is exactly what it expects it to be. When it detects an abnormality
it calls ftrace_bug() and disables itself to prevent any further damage.
It is crucial that ftrace_bug() produces sufficient information that
can be used to debug the situation.

When the static ftrace_ops (like function tracer) enables tracing, and it
is the only callback that is referencing a function, a trampoline is
dynamically allocated to the function that calls the callback directly
instead of calling a loop function that iterates over all the registered
ftrace ops (if more than one ops is registered).
But when it comes to dynamically allocated ftrace_ops, where they may be
freed, on a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel there's no way to know when it is safe
to free the trampoline. If a task was preempted while executing on the
trampoline, there's currently no way to know when it will be off that
trampoline.
But this is not true when it comes to !CONFIG_PREEMPT. The current method
of calling schedule_on_each_cpu() will force tasks off the trampoline,
becaues they can not schedule while on it (kernel preemption is not
configured). That means it is safe to free a dynamically allocated
ftrace ops trampoline when CONFIG_PREEMPT is not configured.

Observing that per-CPU data (in the SMP case) is reachable by
exploiting 64-bit address wraparound (building on the default kernel
load address being at 16Mb), the one byte shorter RIP-relative
addressing form can be used for most per-CPU accesses. The one
exception are the "stable" reads, where the use of the "P" operand
modifier prevents the compiler from using RIP-relative addressing, but
is unavoidable due to the use of the "p" constraint (side note: with
gcc 4.9.x the intended effect of this isn't being achieved anymore,
see gcc bug 63637).
With the dependency on the minimum kernel load address, arbitrarily
low values for CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START are now no longer possible. A
link time assertion is being added, directing to the need to increase
that value when it triggers.

Konrad triggered the following splat below in a 32-bit guest on an AMD
box. As it turns out, in save_microcode_in_initrd_amd() we're using the
*physical* address of the container *after* we have enabled paging and
thus we #PF in load_microcode_amd() when trying to access the microcode
container in the ramdisk range.
Because the ramdisk is exactly there:
[ 0.000000] RAMDISK: [mem 0x35e04000-0x36ef9fff]
and we fault at 0x35e04304.
And since this guest doesn't relocate the ramdisk, we don't do the
computation which will give us the correct virtual address and we end up
with the PA.
So, we should actually be using virtual addresses on 32-bit too by the
time we're freeing the initrd. Do that then!

The current method of handling multiple function callbacks is to register
a list function callback that calls all the other callbacks based on
their hash tables and compare it to the function that the callback was
called on. But this is very inefficient.
For example, if you are tracing all functions in the kernel and then
add a kprobe to a function such that the kprobe uses ftrace, the
mcount trampoline will switch from calling the function trace callback
to calling the list callback that will iterate over all registered
ftrace_ops (in this case, the function tracer and the kprobes callback).
That means for every function being traced it checks the hash of the
ftrace_ops for function tracing and kprobes, even though the kprobes
is only set at a single function. The kprobes ftrace_ops is checked
for every function being traced!
Instead of calling the list function for functions that are only being
traced by a single callback, we can call a dynamically allocated
trampoline that calls the callback directly. The function graph tracer
already uses a direct call trampoline when it is being traced by itself
but it is not dynamically allocated. It's trampoline is static in the
kernel core. The infrastructure that called the function graph trampoline
can also be used to call a dynamically allocated one.
For now, only ftrace_ops that are not dynamically allocated can have
a trampoline. That is, users such as function tracer or stack tracer.
kprobes and perf allocate their ftrace_ops, and until there's a safe
way to free the trampoline, it can not be used. The dynamically allocated
ftrace_ops may, although, use the trampoline if the kernel is not
compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT. But that will come later.

Peter Zijlstra has attempted to help out, to clean up the mess:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/28/543
But has not received helpful and constructive replies which makes
me doubt wether it can all be finished in time until v3.18 is
released.
Despite various review feedback the author (Andi Kleen) has answered
only few of the review questions and has generally been uncooperative,
only giving replies when prompted repeatedly, and only giving minimal
answers instead of constructively explaining and helping along the effort.
That kind of behavior is not acceptable.
There's also a boot crash on Intel E5-1630 v3 CPUs reported for another
commit from Andi Kleen:
e735b9db12 ("perf/x86/intel/uncore: Add Haswell-EP uncore support")
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/22/730
Which is not yet resolved. The uncore driver is independent in theory,
but the crash makes me worry about how well all these patches were
tested and makes me uneasy about the level of interminging that the
Broadwell and Haswell code has received by the commits above.
As a first step to resolve the mess revert the Broadwell client commits
back to the v3.17 version, before we run out of time and problematic
code hits a stable upstream kernel.
( If the Haswell-EP crash is not resolved via a simple fix then we'll have
to revert the Haswell-EP uncore driver as well. )
The Broadwell client series has to be submitted in a clean fashion, with
single, well documented changes per patch. If they are submitted in time
and are accepted during review then they can possibly go into v3.19 but
will need additional scrutiny due to the rocky history of this patch set.
