[PATCH 00/14] x86/alternatives: Nest them

[PATCH 00/14] x86/alternatives: Nest them

[Borislav Petkov]

From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@alien8.de>

Hi,

this is basically peterz's idea to nest the alternative macros with
a fix to an issue I encountered while testing.

For ease of bisection, the old macros are converted to the new, nested
variants in a step-by-step manner so that in case an issue is
encountered during testing, one can pinpoint the place where it fails
easier. Because debugging alternatives is a serious pain.

Testing here on my farm looks good but who knows what happens out there,
in the wild.

Thx.

[PATCH 02/14] x86/alternatives: Add nested alternatives macros

[Borislav Petkov]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Instead of making increasingly complicated ALTERNATIVE_n()
implementations, use a nested alternative expression.

The only difference between:

  ALTERNATIVE_2(oldinst, newinst1, flag1, newinst2, flag2)

and

  ALTERNATIVE(ALTERNATIVE(oldinst, newinst1, flag1),
              newinst2, flag2)

is that the outer alternative can add additional padding when the inner
alternative is the shorter one, which then results in
alt_instr::instrlen being inconsistent.

However, this is easily remedied since the alt_instr entries will be
consecutive and it is trivial to compute the max(alt_instr::instrlen) at
runtime while patching.

Specifically, after this the ALTERNATIVE_2 macro, after CPP expansion
(and manual layout), looks like this:

  .macro ALTERNATIVE_2 oldinstr, newinstr1, ft_flags1, newinstr2, ft_flags2
  740:
  740: \oldinstr ;
  741: .skip -(((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)) > 0) * ((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)),0x90 ;
  742: .pushsection .altinstructions,"a" ;
  	altinstr_entry 740b,743f,\ft_flags1,742b-740b,744f-743f ;
  .popsection ;
  .pushsection .altinstr_replacement,"ax" ;
  743: \newinstr1 ;
  744: .popsection ; ;
  741: .skip -(((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)) > 0) * ((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)),0x90 ;
  742: .pushsection .altinstructions,"a" ;
  altinstr_entry 740b,743f,\ft_flags2,742b-740b,744f-743f ;
  .popsection ;
  .pushsection .altinstr_replacement,"ax" ;
  743: \newinstr2 ;
  744: .popsection ;
  .endm

The only label that is ambiguous is 740, however they all reference the
same spot, so that doesn't matter.

NOTE: obviously only @oldinstr may be an alternative; making @newinstr
an alternative would mean patching .altinstr_replacement which very
likely isn't what is intended, also the labels will be confused in that
case.

  [ bp: Debug an issue where it would match the wrong two insns and
    and consider them nested due to the same signed offsets in the
    .alternative section and use instr_va() to compare the full virtual
    addresses instead.

    - Use new labels to denote that the new, nested
    alternatives are being used when staring at preprocessed output. ]

Here too, %P should be avoided in favor of %c.

Yeah, will do.

We probably should update our patch checking scripts to catch such
things in the future.

/me adds to todo.

Btw, out of curiosity, is %P being phased out?

I'm looking at

41cd2e1ee96e ("x86/asm: Use %c/%n instead of %P operand modifier in asm templates")

and yeah, %c is the generic one while %P is the x86-specific one but
phasing latter out is probably going to take a bunch of gcc releases...

Or is it something else entirely?

Thx.

The intention of '%P' operand modifier is primarily to be used with PIC, 
where:

'P'        If used for a function, print the PLT
            suffix and generate PIC code.  For
            example, emit 'foo@PLT' instead of 'foo'
            for the function foo().  If used for a
            constant, drop all syntax-specific
            prefixes and issue the bare constant.  See
            'p' above.

the fact that is handles constants is due to historic reasons.

The '%c' operand modifier will also check its operand that it is indeed 
an immediate integer operand, so should be used with 'i' operand constraint:

'c'        Require a constant operand and print the
            constant expression with no punctuation.

Uros.

[PATCH 03/14] x86/alternative: Convert alternative()

[Borislav Petkov]

From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@alien8.de>

Split conversion deliberately into minimal pieces to ease bisection
because debugging alternatives is a nightmare.

Just add a label at the start of this macro, so it doesn't depend on
the internal labels of ALTERNATIVE().  Something like:
    asm volatile("1:" ALTERNATIVE_3(XSAVE, \
    ...
     _ASM_EXTABLE_TYPE_REG(1b, 3b, EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG, %[err]) \
    ...

Thanks for the cool idea - that use of the asm label outside of the
macro was really nasty but I didn't think of that. Cool.

And yap, it looks good:

------
#APP
# 188 "arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.h" 1
	1: # ALT: oldinstr

<--- the outer label 1:

771:
	# ALT: oldinstr
771:
	# ALT: oldinstr
771:
	.byte 0x48, 0x0f,0xae,0x27
772:
# ALT: padding
.skip -(((775f-774f)-(772b-771b)) > 0) * ((775f-774f)-(772b-771b)),0x90

...

triple-alternative gunk

...

775:
.popsection

xor %edi, %edi	# err
3:
 .pushsection "__ex_table","a"
------

Yap, and boots in the guest.

I'll fold in the below:

[PATCH 14/14] x86/alternative: Replace the old macros

[Borislav Petkov]

From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@alien8.de>

Now that the new macros have been gradually put in place, replace the
old ones. Leave the new label numbers starting at 7xx as a hint that the
new nested alternatives are being used now.
