[PATCH] xen: Disable stack protector for irq helper

[PATCH] xen: Disable stack protector for irq helper

[Bastian Blank]

The stack protector needs additional registers on x86_32, which are not
saved in calls to the small paravirt interrupt handlers. This leads to
early crashes as registers are overwritten and not saved by the caller
as instructed.

Thanks for the patch, but I don't think its quite right.  
PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK() is responsible for generating a wrapper for
the functions to save/restore all the appropriate registers.  If it is
failing to do so, then the correct fix is to update
PV_SAVE/RESTORE_ALL_CALLER_REGS.

Or have I misunderstood you analysis?

Thanks,

Well, I did not understand this part of the code, but you seem right. So
lets try the following. I have not yet run tested it.

Save all caller-saved registers on x86_32 for the paravirt callee saved
registers.

That looks better, but it is still overkill.  We only need to save the
set of registers the ABI requires the callee to preserve.  What
additional register(s) gets clobbered by stack-protector that need to be
saved?

Well, exactly the two, ecx and edx. eax is still clobbered by the return
value. Anyway, it works in praxis.

I'm confused.  It already saves ecx, so what else needs saving?

Besides, most of the code in that file isn't used unless you're using a
very old version of Xen; it will generally prefer to use the ones in
xen-asm_X.S.

I have the feeling we haven't really found the root cause of your
problem yet.

The original version saves ecx, but not edx. Both are official
caller-saved registers.

Well, my call stack say something different. It crashs during early
startup without a console. The modifications to the function pointers is
done much later.

Hm.  It doesn't save edx because that can be half of a 64-bit return
value, and in general both eax and edx are marked clobbered.  Except one
place; does the patch below help?

You're right.  But you're holding out on me; can I see your backtrace? 
And the disassembly of the troublesome code (both the Xen function and
the calling function)?

Then it will be also wrong for functions returning void. They may
clobber eax but never set it to something correct.

Don't you need to remove the complete wrapper setup to get a correct
result? (And type safety.)

The asm is marked as clobbering eax/edx, so the compiler knows it can't
rely on them being preserved.  void functions are not expected to
preserve them either, so it all works out (or if they are, the compiler
will do the right thing).

Or did you have something else in mind?

Which wrapper?  Do you mean the callee-save function stuff?  Or

It compiles cleanly for me and appears to work.  Does it solve the

ping - any update about this fix? Since it fixes a real crash it would 
be nice to fix this for .32.

ping - any update about this fix? Since it fixes a real crash it would 
be nice to fix this for .32.

It works nicely.

But IMHO this whole infrastructure should go for now, at least until gcc
is able to produce functions with this call convention on its own. Or it
needs to be restricted to only assembler functions. The other users of
this may only work because the stack protector is already disabled for
arch/x86/xen/mmu.o.

No, the infrastructure is fine and completely compliant with the ABI
(which doesn't change with stackprotector).  But there were a couple of
interrupt-related calls which didn't use the infrastructure properly,
and failed to preserve edx properly; we'd gotten away with it until now
because the called functions were very simple and didn't end up using
edx - until stackprotector.

The fix is to use the infrastructure consistently.

I'll put together a suitable patch.
