[patch v2 0/4] updated ptrace/core-dump patches for supporting xstate - V2

[patch v2 0/4] updated ptrace/core-dump patches for supporting xstate - V2

[Suresh Siddha]

Patches are on top of the -tip/master tree.
First patch in the series reverts the first version of the patch that went into
the -tip tree.

Changes from v1:
a. Split the patch into multiple patches.
b. Fix some bugs and coding style changes based on Roland's feedback.
c. Add generic PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET commands through which we can
   export the architecture specific regsets using the corresponding
   NT_* codes that userland is already aware of. The "xstate" regset is exported
   only using this interface.

thanks,
suresh

[patch v2 2/4] x86, ptrace: regset extensions to support xstate

[Suresh Siddha]

[-- Attachment #1: add_regset_for_xstate.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 9448 bytes --]

Add the xstate regset support which helps extend the kernel ptrace and the
core-dump interfaces to support AVX state etc.

This regset interface is designed to support all the future state that gets
supported using xsave/xrstor infrastructure.

Looking at the memory layout saved by "xsave", one can't say which state
is represented in the memory layout. This is because if a particular state is
in init state, in the xsave hdr it can be represented by bit '0'. And hence
we can't really say by the xsave header wether a state is in init state or
the state is not saved in the memory layout.

And hence the xsave memory layout available through this regset
interface uses SW usable bytes [464..511] to convey what state is represented
in the memory layout.

First 8 bytes of the sw_usable_bytes[464..467] will be set to OS enabled xstate
mask(which is same as the 64bit mask returned by the xgetbv's xCR0).

The note NT_X86_XSTATE represents the extended state information in the
core file, using the above mentioned memory layout.

I'd like to see some macros or struct or something in some user-visible
header (ptrace-abi.h I guess?) that instruct userland where to find this
software-defined word.  The rest of the layout and meaning is specified by
the chip manuals and it's only a question of convenience if we want to help
userland out with those bits.  But the use of the reserved-for-software
area to store a bitmask (or whatever else Linux might put there in the
future) is entirely a Linux invention that needs to be a clear and explicit
part of this userland ABI format.

You didn't mention this change in a comment or log entry.
It looks like it's superfluous after init_fpu.  So this change
is right, but AFAICT it belongs in an entirely separate patch
and has nothing to do with xsave support.

This calculation is unnecessary (though it doesn't hurt); you can just use
-1 here.  The arch user_regset.get and user_regset.set functions are not
required to worry about bogus arguments.  Their callers are required to
pass values that don't violate the .n, .size, and .align constraints in the
user_regset.

Isn't the xsave format is really the same for 32-bit and 64-bit?
All its components are naturally 64 bits or larger, right?

If that's correct, I think it would be better to make the 32 and 64 version
of the regset uniform with .size and .align being sizeof(u64).

Just change these to / sizeof(u64) accordingly.

I guess Suresh was going to change xstateregs_set() added by this patch,
it also sets USED_MATH after init_fpu().

Hmm. Suresh, could you confirm these offsetof's are correct?

We are copying xstate_fx_sw_bytes array which is u64[6], but
start_pos == sizeof(i387_fxsave_struct) - padding ?

While we are here. Perhaps it would be more symmetrical to do

	ret = user_regset_copyout();
	if (ret)
		return ret;

instead of "if (!ret)" which needs a tab, but this is up to you.

Another very minor nit, this is the only user of xsave_hdr, but this
var was defined at the top. Perhaps it would be a bit more clean to
have

	struct xsave_struct *xsave = target->thread.xstate->xsave;

and use it in 1st and 3rd copyout?

Speaking about the first user_regset_copyout(), perhaps xsave->i387
would be more clear than xsave?

Oleg.

Sorry for noise. Now I see this should be correct, see another email I sent.

In fact, unless I missed something again, the 2nd and 3rd _copyout's could
use pos as start_pos instead of offsetof(what_we_already_copied).

Oleg.

No, you should never do that.  start_pos and end_pos should be constants.

Is it correct? Shouldn't it be

?

Currently this doesn't matter, start_pos == 0 always. In fact I don't
understand why do we need this arg. In unlikely case the caller wants
to copy the part of *data, it can adjust data/end_pos itself.

Ah, I seem to understand. start_pos is not the offset inside *data as
I thought. It is needed to compensate the "*pos += copy" addition which
was done by the previous user_regset_copyout().

This means that xstateregs_get() is right, it copies xstate_fx_sw_bytes
but uses sizeof(i387_fxsave_struct) as start_pos.

So tricky... I must admit, I don't understand the point.

Oleg.

[patch v2 3/4] x86, ptrace: prepare regset get/set routines for user specified lengths

[Suresh Siddha]

[-- Attachment #1: prepare_for_ptrace_get_set_regset.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2882 bytes --]

Prepare the x86 regset routines for the upcoming generic
PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET commands. These commands allow the user
to specify how much to read and hence the kernel needs to ensure that
the get/set routines of the regset don't allow the user to access more kernel
buffers than needed.

x86, ptrace: Prepare regset get/set routines for user specified lengths

Prepare the x86 regset routines for the upcoming generic
PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET commands. These commands allow the user
to specify how much to read and hence the kernel needs to ensure that
the get/set routines of the regset don't allow the user to access more kernel
buffers than needed.

Re: [patch v2 3/4] x86, ptrace: prepare regset get/set routines for user specified lengths

[Roland McGrath]

This change is unnecessary and IMHO misguided.  The arch user_regset.get
and user_regset.set functions are not required to worry about bogus
arguments.  Their callers are required to pass values that don't violate
the .n, .size, and .align constraints in the user_regset.  The right place
to enforce these constraints on parameters coming from userland is in the
arch-independent code that calls the arch user_regset functions.


Thanks,
Roland

[patch v2 4/4] ptrace: Add support for generic PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET

[Suresh Siddha]

[-- Attachment #1: ptrace_support_for_xstate.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 8012 bytes --]

Generic support for PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET commands which
export the regsets supported by each architecture using the correponding
NT_* types.

'addr' parameter for the ptrace system call encode the REGSET type and
the buffer length. 'data' parameter points to the user buffer.

	ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET, pid,
	       (NT_TYPE << 20) | buf_length, buf);

For more information on how to use this API by users like debuggers and core
dump for accessing xstate registers, etc., please refer to comments in
arch/x86/include/asm/ptrace-abi.h

IMHO this bit swizzling is a non-starter.  The NT_* codes can use a full 32
bits.  NT_PRXFPREG uses 31 bits.  The comments about ignoring the high bits
for this as a special case just seem insane to me.  Pass a full 32 bit word
for NT_* and a full word for the buffer size.  What's so terrible about
just having an obvious and comprehensible API?

IMHO if you insist on an insane bit swizzling approach, you should mix the
buffer size bits into the request code, leaving the "addr" argument free
for the unmolested NT_* code.  There is just no earthly reason that we
should suddenly impose a new and arcane constraint on what NT_* values can
be, even if there is no particular reason for future values not to be small.

> +int generic_ptrace_regset(struct task_struct *child, long request, long addr,

There is no need for a global function for this.  It should all be static
in kernel/ptrace.c, called only by ptrace_request()/compat_ptrace_request().

Just use CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK.  That means the arch supplies
task_user_regset_view().  Any additional per-arch conditionalization
defeats the essential purpose of having fully generic ptrace requests.

> +		if (NOTE_TO_REGSET_TYPE(regset->core_note_type) !=

Here is where you should validate the buf_size value.  You must not pass a
size that is > regset.size * regset.n or has % regset.size != 0.  The arch
user_regset.get and .set functions are not required to check for bogus
offsets or sizes.

You could either just use:

	buf_size = MIN(buf_size, regset->n * regset->size);

or you could diagnose it with:

	if (buf_size > regset->n * regset->size)
		return -EINVAL;

Possibly we might want to allow a PTRACE_GETREGSET with a buffer that is
larger than necessary.  Then it would probably make sense to zero-fill the
rest of the buffer.  Or else, use an API that can pass back to userland how
much we're actually filling in.

These comments don't really belong in linux/elf.h IMHO.  They don't add
anything, except documenting the insanity about truncating NT_* values.  I
don't think that nutty idea should survive.  But regardless, everything
about it belongs alongside the macros used to construct and deconstruct the
argument word.  No example should recommend using the bit-twiddling rather
than using some such macros that are made public in linux/ptrace.h.

I guess I don't really understand the question.  I'm not aware of any

Well. Personally, I like Roland's suggestion more.

How about something like the patch below?

I am not sure how should we check the size, see the comment in
ptrace_regset().

What do you think?

And, I don't understand NOTE_TO_REGSET_TYPE() logic. I mean, I don't know
why we should use "->core_note_type & 0xfff".

Oleg.

Since it's just two words, most places handling struct iovec seem to just
use two get_user() calls, which is probably more efficient.

Also, here is where this function would need to be split in half for
compat_ptrace_request() calls where it has to use struct compat_iovec.

Modifying iov_len to report how much we accessed seems good to me.  If we
do that, we should certainly allow a larger size for get, so userland can
just use a generic large buffer before even knowing the real size.  I'm not
sure whether we should allow a smaller size, especially for set.  I could
go either way.

Allowing a larger size for get seems very sane.  Allowing a smaller size
would be ok iff we make sure we handle corner cases right (i.e. a
partially overwritten subregister.)

It should enforce the static constraints of the user_regset, which include
a starting position that's 0 % .align (if we had non-zero starting position
in the request) and a size that's 0 % .size.  The arch code sets those and
then is not obliged to handle requests outside those constraints.  It's
already documented that the arch code is obliged to handle any partial
regset access that meets them.

The usual thing is to set .size and .align to the size of a register.
This is exactly so that the arch code does not need to add gratuitous
corner case complications such as "partially overwritten subregister".

AFAIK tip/x86/ptrace is just a temporary branch containing nothing but your

That is my understanding too but was not sure. Wanted to mention that
they should either replace the branch or apply the reverted patch
(incase if they have issues with replacing the branch). Peter, you seem
to have applied the revert. Can you instead start with a fresh branch so
that we can just ignore the first version (and hence skip first revert
patch in this series)?

AFAIK there is no tree of mine that anyone habitually pulls from as part of
a regular merge procedure.  Since the x86 patches have to go through your
approval, and these ones are coming from someone else's postings (Suresh),
I'm not sure how I would or should fit into the chain.  If you would like
me to use a git branch for x86 things (ptrace things?  x86 ptrace things?)
that have my ACK and I think should be merged, I'm glad to do that.

When I write patches myself, I always use git, so it is always easy and
most convenient for me to have my own branches pulled directly just to
save on 'git rebase' churn later.

As to a regular workflow of using a well-known branch of mine, I think it
makes sense for me to maintain a branch if there is an area where things
are presumptively merged just on my approval and I'm the one who has to be
lobbied to revert them.  I have not heretofore acquired the sensation that
this was the case with any given area of code.

[patch v3 1/2] x86, ptrace: regset extensions to support xstate

[Suresh Siddha]

[-- Attachment #1: add_regset_for_xstate.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 11810 bytes --]

Add the xstate regset support which helps extend the kernel ptrace and the
core-dump interfaces to support AVX state etc.

This regset interface is designed to support all the future state that gets
supported using xsave/xrstor infrastructure.

Looking at the memory layout saved by "xsave", one can't say which state
is represented in the memory layout. This is because if a particular state is
in init state, in the xsave hdr it can be represented by bit '0'. And hence
we can't really say by the xsave header wether a state is in init state or
the state is not saved in the memory layout.

And hence the xsave memory layout available through this regset
interface uses SW usable bytes [464..511] to convey what state is represented
in the memory layout.

First 8 bytes of the sw_usable_bytes[464..467] will be set to OS enabled xstate
mask(which is same as the 64bit mask returned by the xgetbv's xCR0).

The note NT_X86_XSTATE represents the extended state information in the
core file, using the above mentioned memory layout.

x86, ptrace: regset extensions to support xstate

Add the xstate regset support which helps extend the kernel ptrace and the
core-dump interfaces to support AVX state etc.

This regset interface is designed to support all the future state that gets
supported using xsave/xrstor infrastructure.

Looking at the memory layout saved by "xsave", one can't say which state
is represented in the memory layout. This is because if a particular state is
in init state, in the xsave hdr it can be represented by bit '0'. And hence
we can't really say by the xsave header wether a state is in init state or
the state is not saved in the memory layout.

And hence the xsave memory layout available through this regset
interface uses SW usable bytes [464..511] to convey what state is represented
in the memory layout.

First 8 bytes of the sw_usable_bytes[464..467] will be set to OS enabled xstate
mask(which is same as the 64bit mask returned by the xgetbv's xCR0).

The note NT_X86_XSTATE represents the extended state information in the
core file, using the above mentioned memory layout.
