When unwinding a task, the end of the stack is always at the same offset
right below the saved pt_regs, regardless of which syscall was used to
enter the kernel. That convention allows the unwinder to verify that a
stack is sane.
However, newly forked tasks don't always follow that convention, as
reported by the following unwinder warning seen by Dave Jones:
WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at ffffc90001443f30 in kworker/u8:8:30468 has bad value (null)
The warning was due to the following call chain:
(ftrace handler)
call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x5/0x140
ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30
The problem is that ret_from_fork() doesn't create a stack frame before
calling other functions. Fix that by carefully using the frame pointer
macros.
In addition to conforming to the end of stack convention, this also
makes related stack traces more sensible by making it clear to the user
that ret_from_fork() was involved.

With frame pointers, when a task is interrupted, its stack is no longer
completely reliable because the function could have been interrupted
before it had a chance to save the previous frame pointer on the stack.
So the caller of the interrupted function could get skipped by a stack
trace.
This is problematic for live patching, which needs to know whether a
stack trace of a sleeping task can be relied upon. There's currently no
way to detect if a sleeping task was interrupted by a page fault
exception or preemption before it went to sleep.
Another issue is that when dumping the stack of an interrupted task, the
unwinder has no way of knowing where the saved pt_regs registers are, so
it can't print them.
This solves those issues by encoding the pt_regs pointer in the frame
pointer on entry from an interrupt or an exception.
This patch also updates the unwinder to be able to decode it, because
otherwise the unwinder would be broken by this change.
Note that this causes a change in the behavior of the unwinder: each
instance of a pt_regs on the stack is now considered a "frame". So
callers of unwind_get_return_address() will now get an occasional
'regs->ip' address that would have previously been skipped over.

I was fishing RIP (i.e. RCX) out of pt_regs->cx and RFLAGS (i.e.
R11) out of pt_regs->r11. While it usually worked (pt_regs
started out with CX == IP and R11 == FLAGS), it was very
fragile. In particular, it broke sys_iopl() because sys_iopl()
forgot to mark itself as using ptregs.
Undo that part of the syscall rework. There was no compelling
reason to do it this way. While I'm at it, load RCX and R11
before the other regs to be a little friendlier to the CPU, as
they will be the first of the reloaded registers to be used.

64-bit syscalls currently have an optimization in which they are
called with partial pt_regs. A small handful require full
pt_regs.
In the 32-bit and compat cases, I cleaned this up by forcing
full pt_regs for all syscalls. The performance hit doesn't
really matter as the affected system calls are fundamentally
heavy and this is the 32-bit compat case.
I want to clean up the 64-bit case as well, but I don't want to
hurt fast path performance. To do that, I want to force the
syscalls that use pt_regs onto the slow path. This will enable
us to make slow path syscalls be real ABI-compliant C functions.
Use the new syscall entry qualification machinery for this.
'stub_clone' is now 'stub_clone/ptregs'.
The next patch will eliminate the stubs, and we'll just have
'sys_clone/ptregs'.
As of this patch, two-phase entry tracing is no longer used. It
has served its purpose (namely a huge speedup on some workloads
prior to more general opportunistic SYSRET support), and once
the dust settles I'll send patches to back it out.
The implementation is heavily based on a patch from Brian Gerst:

Paolo pointed out that enter_from_user_mode could be called
while irqflags were traced as though IRQs were on.
In principle, this could confuse lockdep. It doesn't cause any
problems that I've seen in any configuration, but if I build
with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y, enable a nohz_full CPU, and add
code like:
if (irqs_disabled()) {
spin_lock(&something);
spin_unlock(&something);
}
to the top of enter_from_user_mode, then lockdep will complain
without this fix. It seems that lockdep's irqflags sanity
checks are too weak to detect this bug without forcing the
issue.
This patch adds one byte to normal kernels, and it's IMO a bit
ugly. I haven't spotted a better way to do this yet, though.
The issue is that we can't do TRACE_IRQS_OFF until after SWAPGS
(if needed), but we're also supposed to do it before calling C
code.
An alternative approach would be to call trace_hardirqs_off in
enter_from_user_mode. That would be less code and would not
bloat normal kernels at all, but it would be harder to see how
the code worked.

PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME generates this code (using nmi as an
example, trimmed for readability):

2792: R_X86_64_PC32 pv_irq_ops+0x2c
That's a call through a function pointer to regular C function that
does nothing on native boots, but that function isn't protected
against kprobes, isn't marked notrace, and is certainly not
guaranteed to preserve any registers if the compiler is feeling
perverse. This is bad news for a CLBR_NONE operation.
Of course, if everything works correctly, once paravirt ops are
patched, it gets nopped out, but what if we hit this code before
paravirt ops are patched in? This can potentially cause breakage
that is very difficult to debug.
A more subtle failure is possible here, too: if _paravirt_nop uses
the stack at all (even just to push RBP), it will overwrite the "NMI
executing" variable if it's called in the NMI prologue.
The Xen case, perhaps surprisingly, is fine, because it's already
written in asm.
Fix all of the cases that default to paravirt_nop (including
adjust_exception_frame) with a big hammer: replace paravirt_nop with
an asm function that is just a ret instruction.
The Xen case may have other problems, so document them.
This is part of a fix for some random crashes that Sasha saw.

It turns out to be rather tedious to test the NMI nesting code.
Make it easier: add a new CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY option that causes
the NMI handler to pre-emptively unmask NMIs.
With this option set, errors in the repeat_nmi logic or failures
to detect that we're in a nested NMI will result in quick panics
under perf (especially if multiple counters are running at high
frequency) instead of requiring an unusual workload that
generates page faults or breakpoints inside NMIs.
I called it CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY instead of CONFIG_DEBUG_NMI_ENTRY
because I want to add new non-NMI checks elsewhere in the entry
code in the future, and I'd rather not add too many new config
options or add this option and then immediately rename it.

We have a tricky bug in the nested NMI code: if we see RSP
pointing to the NMI stack on NMI entry from kernel mode, we
assume that we are executing a nested NMI.
This isn't quite true. A malicious userspace program can point
RSP at the NMI stack, issue SYSCALL, and arrange for an NMI to
happen while RSP is still pointing at the NMI stack.
Fix it with a sneaky trick. Set DF in the region of code that
the RSP check is intended to detect. IRET will clear DF
atomically.
( Note: other than paravirt, there's little need for all this
complexity. We could check RIP instead of RSP. )

Check the repeat_nmi .. end_repeat_nmi special case first. The
next patch will rework the RSP check and, as a side effect, the
RSP check will no longer detect repeat_nmi .. end_repeat_nmi, so
we'll need this ordering of the checks.
Note: this is more subtle than it appears. The check for
repeat_nmi .. end_repeat_nmi jumps straight out of the NMI code
instead of adjusting the "iret" frame to force a repeat. This
is necessary, because the code between repeat_nmi and
end_repeat_nmi sets "NMI executing" and then writes to the
"iret" frame itself. If a nested NMI comes in and modifies the
"iret" frame while repeat_nmi is also modifying it, we'll end up
with garbage. The old code got this right, as does the new
code, but the new code is a bit more explicit.
If we were to move the check right after the "NMI executing"
check, then we'd get it wrong and have random crashes.
( Because the "NMI executing" check would jump to the code that would
modify the "iret" frame without checking if the interrupted NMI was
currently modifying it. )

Returning to userspace is tricky: IRET can fail, and ESPFIX can
rearrange the stack prior to IRET.
The NMI nesting fixup relies on a precise stack layout and
atomic IRET. Rather than trying to teach the NMI nesting fixup
to handle ESPFIX and failed IRET, punt: run NMIs that came from
user mode on the normal kernel stack.
This will make some nested NMIs visible to C code, but the C
code is okay with that.
As a side effect, this should speed up perf: it eliminates an
RDMSR when NMIs come from user mode.
