The code flow for the vclocks is convoluted as it requires the vclocks
which can be invalidated separately from the vsyscall_gtod_data sequence to
store the fact in a separate variable. That's inefficient.
Restructure the code so the vclock readout returns cycles and the
conversion to nanoseconds is handled at the call site.
If the clock gets invalidated or vclock is already VCLOCK_NONE, return
U64_MAX as the cycle value, which is invalid for all clocks and leave the
sequence loop immediately in that case by calling the fallback function
directly.
This allows to remove the gettimeofday fallback as it now uses the
clock_gettime() fallback and does the nanoseconds to microseconds
conversion in the same way as it does when the vclock is functional. It
does not make a difference whether the division by 1000 happens in the
kernel fallback or in userspace.
Generates way better code and gains a few cycles back.

It's desired to support more clocks in the VDSO, e.g. CLOCK_TAI. This
results either in indirect calls due to the larger switch case, which then
requires retpolines or when the compiler is forced to avoid jump tables it
results in even more conditionals.
To avoid both variants which are bad for performance the high resolution
functions and the coarse grained functions will be collapsed into one for
each. That requires to store the clock specific base time in an array.
Introcude struct vgtod_ts for storage and convert the data store, the
update function and the individual clock functions over to use it.
The new storage does not longer use gtod_long_t for seconds depending on 32
or 64 bit compile because this needs to be the full 64bit value even for
32bit when a Y2038 function is added. No point in keeping the distinction
alive in the internal representation.

The syscall fallbacks in the vDSO have incorrect asm constraints.
They are not marked as writing to their outputs -- instead, they are
marked as clobbering "memory", which is useless. In particular, gcc
is smart enough to know that the timespec parameter hasn't escaped,
so a memory clobber doesn't clobber it. And passing a pointer as an
asm *input* does not tell gcc that the pointed-to value is changed.
Add in the fact that the asm instructions weren't volatile, and gcc
was free to omit them entirely unless their sole output (the return
value) is used. Which it is (phew!), but that stops happening with
some upcoming patches.
As a trivial example, the following code:
void test_fallback(struct timespec *ts)
{
vdso_fallback_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, ts);
}
compiles to:
00000000000000c0 <test_fallback>:
c0: c3 retq
To add insult to injury, the RCX and R11 clobbers on 64-bit
builds were missing.
The "memory" clobber is also unnecessary -- no ordering with respect to
other memory operations is needed, but that's going to be fixed in a
separate not-for-stable patch.

The SYSCALL64 trampoline has a couple of nice properties:
- The usual sequence of SWAPGS followed by two GS-relative accesses to
set up RSP is somewhat slow because the GS-relative accesses need
to wait for SWAPGS to finish. The trampoline approach allows
RIP-relative accesses to set up RSP, which avoids the stall.
- The trampoline avoids any percpu access before CR3 is set up,
which means that no percpu memory needs to be mapped in the user
page tables. This prevents using Meltdown to read any percpu memory
outside the cpu_entry_area and prevents using timing leaks
to directly locate the percpu areas.
The downsides of using a trampoline may outweigh the upsides, however.
It adds an extra non-contiguous I$ cache line to system calls, and it
forces an indirect jump to transfer control back to the normal kernel
text after CR3 is set up. The latter is because x86 lacks a 64-bit
direct jump instruction that could jump from the trampoline to the entry
text. With retpolines enabled, the indirect jump is extremely slow.
Change the code to map the percpu TSS into the user page tables to allow
the non-trampoline SYSCALL64 path to work under PTI. This does not add a
new direct information leak, since the TSS is readable by Meltdown from the
cpu_entry_area alias regardless. It does allow a timing attack to locate
the percpu area, but KASLR is more or less a lost cause against local
attack on CPUs vulnerable to Meltdown regardless. As far as I'm concerned,
on current hardware, KASLR is only useful to mitigate remote attacks that
try to attack the kernel without first gaining RCE against a vulnerable
user process.
On Skylake, with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y and KPTI on, this reduces syscall
overhead from ~237ns to ~228ns.
There is a possible alternative approach: Move the trampoline within 2G of
the entry text and make a separate copy for each CPU. This would allow a
direct jump to rejoin the normal entry path. There are pro's and con's for
this approach:
+ It avoids a pipeline stall
- It executes from an extra page and read from another extra page during
the syscall. The latter is because it needs to use a relative
addressing mode to find sp1 -- it's the same *cacheline*, but accessed
using an alias, so it's an extra TLB entry.
- Slightly more memory. This would be one page per CPU for a simple
implementation and 64-ish bytes per CPU or one page per node for a more
complex implementation.
- More code complexity.
The current approach is chosen for simplicity and because the alternative
does not provide a significant benefit, which makes it worth.

The STACKLEAK feature (initially developed by PaX Team) has the following
benefits:
1. Reduces the information that can be revealed through kernel stack leak
bugs. The idea of erasing the thread stack at the end of syscalls is
similar to CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING and memzero_explicit() in kernel
crypto, which all comply with FDP_RIP.2 (Full Residual Information
Protection) of the Common Criteria standard.
2. Blocks some uninitialized stack variable attacks (e.g. CVE-2017-17712,
CVE-2010-2963). That kind of bugs should be killed by improving C
compilers in future, which might take a long time.
This commit introduces the code filling the used part of the kernel
stack with a poison value before returning to userspace. Full
STACKLEAK feature also contains the gcc plugin which comes in a
separate commit.
The STACKLEAK feature is ported from grsecurity/PaX. More information at:
https://grsecurity.net/https://pax.grsecurity.net/
This code is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last
public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on our understanding of the code.
Changes or omissions from the original code are ours and don't reflect
the original grsecurity/PaX code.
Performance impact:
Hardware: Intel Core i7-4770, 16 GB RAM
Test #1: building the Linux kernel on a single core
0.91% slowdown
Test #2: hackbench -s 4096 -l 2000 -g 15 -f 25 -P
4.2% slowdown
So the STACKLEAK description in Kconfig includes: "The tradeoff is the
performance impact: on a single CPU system kernel compilation sees a 1%
slowdown, other systems and workloads may vary and you are advised to
test this feature on your expected workload before deploying it".

a suitable GCC toolchain to link these libraries with.
/usr/bin/ld: arch/x86/entry/vdso/vclock_gettime.o:
access beyond end of merged section (782)
This happens because the host environment leaked into the cross compiler
environment due to the way clang searches for suitable GCC toolchains.
Clang is a retargetable compiler, and each invocation of it must provide
--target=<something> --gcc-toolchain=<something> to allow it to find the
correct binutils for cross compilation. These flags had been added to
KBUILD_CFLAGS, but the vdso code uses CC and not KBUILD_CFLAGS (for various
reasons) which breaks clang's ability to find the correct linker when cross
compiling.
Most of the time this goes unnoticed because the host linker is new enough
to work anyway, or is incompatible and skipped, but this cannot be reliably
assumed.
This change alters the vdso makefile to just use LD directly, which
bypasses clang and thus the searching problem. The makefile will just use
${CROSS_COMPILE}ld instead, which is always what we want. This matches the
method used to link vmlinux.
This drops references to DISABLE_LTO; this option doesn't seem to be set
anywhere, and not knowing what its possible values are, it's not clear how
to convert it from CC to LD flag.

error_entry and error_exit communicate the user vs. kernel status of
the frame using %ebx. This is unnecessary -- the information is in
regs->cs. Just use regs->cs.
This makes error_entry simpler and makes error_exit more robust.
It also fixes a nasty bug. Before all the Spectre nonsense, the
xen_failsafe_callback entry point returned like this:
ALLOC_PT_GPREGS_ON_STACK
SAVE_C_REGS
SAVE_EXTRA_REGS
ENCODE_FRAME_POINTER
jmp error_exit
And it did not go through error_entry. This was bogus: RBX
contained garbage, and error_exit expected a flag in RBX.
Fortunately, it generally contained *nonzero* garbage, so the
correct code path was used. As part of the Spectre fixes, code was
added to clear RBX to mitigate certain speculation attacks. Now,
depending on kernel configuration, RBX got zeroed and, when running
some Wine workloads, the kernel crashes. This was introduced by:
commit 3ac6d8c787 ("x86/entry/64: Clear registers for exceptions/interrupts, to reduce speculation attack surface")
With this patch applied, RBX is no longer needed as a flag, and the
problem goes away.
I suspect that malicious userspace could use this bug to crash the
kernel even without the offending patch applied, though.
[ Historical note: I wrote this patch as a cleanup before I was aware
of the bug it fixed. ]
[ Note to stable maintainers: this should probably get applied to all
kernels. If you're nervous about that, a more conservative fix to
add xorl %ebx,%ebx; incl %ebx before the jump to error_exit should
also fix the problem. ]

When delivering a signal to a task that is using rseq, we call into
__rseq_handle_notify_resume() so that the registers pushed in the
sigframe are updated to reflect the state of the restartable sequence
(for example, ensuring that the signal returns to the abort handler if
necessary).
However, if the rseq management fails due to an unrecoverable fault when
accessing userspace or certain combinations of RSEQ_CS_* flags, then we
will attempt to deliver a SIGSEGV. This has the potential for infinite
recursion if the rseq code continuously fails on signal delivery.
Avoid this problem by using force_sigsegv() instead of force_sig(), which
is explicitly designed to reset the SEGV handler to SIG_DFL in the case
of a recursive fault. In doing so, remove rseq_signal_deliver() from the
internal rseq API and have an optional struct ksignal * parameter to
rseq_handle_notify_resume() instead.

The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler
support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO
option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler
supported.
That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case
now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support
directly.
HOWEVER.
It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong
stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file,
the sane stack protector configuration would look like
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y
and when you ran this through "make oldconfig" with the Kbuild changes,
it would ask you about the regular CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR (that had
been renamed from CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR to just
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), but it would think that the STRONG version
used to be disabled (because it was really enabled by AUTO), and would
disable it in the new config, resulting in:
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
That's dangerously subtle - people could suddenly find themselves with
the weaker stack protector setup without even realizing.
The solution here is to just rename not just the old RECULAR stack
protector option, but also the strong one. This does that by just
removing the CC_ prefix entirely for the user choices, because it really
is not about the compiler support (the compiler support now instead
automatially impacts _visibility_ of the options to users).
This results in "make oldconfig" actually asking the user for their
choice, so that we don't have any silent subtle security model changes.
The end result would generally look like this:
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
where the "CC_" versions really are about internal compiler
infrastructure, not the user selections.
