So we can remove those arch specific rwsem.h and stop building asm/rwsem.h to reduce maintenance effort. Currently, only x86, alpha and ia64 have implemented architecture specific fast paths. I don't have access to alpha and ia64 systems for testing, but they are legacy systems that are not likely to be updated to the latest kernel anyway. By using a rwsem microbenchmark, the total locking rates on a 4-socket 56-core 112-thread x86-64 system before and after the patch were as follows (mixed means equal # of read and write locks): Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock mixed wlock rlock mixed ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 29,201 30,143 29,458 28,615 30,172 29,201 2 6,807 13,299 1,171 7,725 15,025 1,804 4 6,504 12,755 1,520 7,127 14,286 1,345 8 6,762 13,412 764 6,826 13,652 726 16 6,693 15,408 662 6,599 15,938 626 32 6,145 15,286 496 5,549 15,487 511 64 5,812 15,495 60 5,858 15,572 60 There were some run-to-run variations for the multi-thread tests. For x86-64, using the generic C code fast path seems to be a little bit faster than the assembly version with low lock contention. Looking at the assembly version of the fast paths, there are assembly to/from C code wrappers that save and restore all the callee-clobbered registers (7 registers on x86-64). The assembly generated from the generic C code doesn't need to do that. That may explain the slight performance gain here. The generic asm rwsem.h can also be merged into kernel/locking/rwsem.h with no code change as no other code other than those under kernel/locking needs to access the internal rwsem macros and functions.

As a bonus we now also check the DF flag. We had at least one high-profile bug in that area in the early days of Linux, and the checking is fairly simple. The checks performed and warnings emitted are: - call to %s() with DF set - return with DF set - return with modified stack frame - recursive STD - redundant CLD It's all x86-only for now, but later on this can also be used for PAN on ARM and objtool is fairly cross-platform in principle.

Part of this procedure involves scanning the command line for the parameter 'mem_encrypt'. To determine intended state, the function sme_enable() uses library functions cmdline_find_option() and strncmp(). Their use occurs early enough such that it cannot be assumed that any instrumentation subsystem is initialized. For example, making calls to a KASAN-instrumented function before KASAN is set up will result in the use of uninitialized memory and a boot failure. When AMD's SME support is enabled, conditionally disable instrumentation of these dependent functions in lib/string.c and arch/x86/lib/cmdline.c.

* | x86: explicitly align IO accesses in memcpy_{to,from}ioLinus Torvalds2019-02-011-3/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 170d13ca3a2f ("x86: re-introduce non-generic memcpy_{to,from}io") I made our copy from IO space use a separate copy routine rather than rely on the generic memcpy. I did that because our generic memory copy isn't actually well-defined when it comes to internal access ordering or alignment, and will in fact depend on various CPUID flags. In particular, the default memcpy() for a modern Intel CPU will generally be just a "rep movsb", which works reasonably well for medium-sized memory copies of regular RAM, since the CPU will turn it into fairly optimized microcode. However, for non-cached memory and IO, "rep movs" ends up being horrendously slow and will just do the architectural "one byte at a time" accesses implied by the movsb. At the other end of the spectrum, if you _don't_ end up using the "rep movsb" code, you'd likely fall back to the software copy, which does overlapping accesses for the tail, and may copy things backwards. Again, for regular memory that's fine, for IO memory not so much. The thinking was that clearly nobody really cared (because things worked), but some people had seen horrible performance due to the byte accesses, so let's just revert back to our long ago version that dod "rep movsl" for the bulk of the copy, and then fixed up the potentially last few bytes of the tail with "movsw/b". Interestingly (and perhaps not entirely surprisingly), while that was our original memory copy implementation, and had been used before for IO, in the meantime many new users of memcpy_*io() had come about. And while the access patterns for the memory copy weren't well-defined (so arguably _any_ access pattern should work), in practice the "rep movsb" case had been very common for the last several years. In particular Jarkko Sakkinen reported that the memcpy_*io() change resuled in weird errors from his Geminilake NUC TPM module. And it turns out that the TPM TCG accesses according to spec require that the accesses be (a) done strictly sequentially (b) be naturally aligned otherwise the TPM chip will abort the PCI transaction. And, in fact, the tpm_crb.c driver did this: memcpy_fromio(buf, priv->rsp, 6); ... memcpy_fromio(&buf[6], &priv->rsp[6], expected - 6); which really should never have worked in the first place, but back before commit 170d13ca3a2f it *happened* to work, because the memcpy_fromio() would be expanded to a regular memcpy, and (a) gcc would expand the first memcpy in-line, and turn it into a 4-byte and a 2-byte read, and they happened to be in the right order, and the alignment was right. (b) gcc would call "memcpy()" for the second one, and the machines that had this TPM chip also apparently ended up always having ERMS ("Enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB instructions"), so we'd use the "rep movbs" for that copy. In other words, basically by pure luck, the code happened to use the right access sizes in the (two different!) memcpy() implementations to make it all work. But after commit 170d13ca3a2f, both of the memcpy_fromio() calls resulted in a call to the routine with the consistent memory accesses, and in both cases it started out transferring with 4-byte accesses. Which worked for the first copy, but resulted in the second copy doing a 32-bit read at an address that was only 2-byte aligned. Jarkko is actually fixing the fragile code in the TPM driver, but since this is an excellent example of why we absolutely must not use a generic memcpy for IO accesses, _and_ an IO-specific one really should strive to align the IO accesses, let's do exactly that. Side note: Jarkko also noted that the driver had been used on ARM platforms, and had worked. That was because on 32-bit ARM, memcpy_*io() ends up always doing byte accesses, and on 64-bit ARM it first does byte accesses to align to 8-byte boundaries, and then does 8-byte accesses for the bulk. So ARM actually worked by design, and the x86 case worked by pure luck. We *might* want to make x86-64 do the 8-byte case too. That should be a pretty straightforward extension, but let's do one thing at a time. And generally MMIO accesses aren't really all that performance-critical, as shown by the fact that for a long time we just did them a byte at a time, and very few people ever noticed.

* x86: re-introduce non-generic memcpy_{to,from}ioLinus Torvalds2019-01-042-0/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This has been broken forever, and nobody ever really noticed because it's purely a performance issue. Long long ago, in commit 6175ddf06b61 ("x86: Clean up mem*io functions") Brian Gerst simplified the memory copies to and from iomem, since on x86, the instructions to access iomem are exactly the same as the regular instructions. That is technically true, and things worked, and nobody said anything. Besides, back then the regular memcpy was pretty simple and worked fine. Nobody noticed except for David Laight, that is. David has a testing a TLP monitor he was writing for an FPGA, and has been occasionally complaining about how memcpy_toio() writes things one byte at a time. Which is completely unacceptable from a performance standpoint, even if it happens to technically work. The reason it's writing one byte at a time is because while it's technically true that accesses to iomem are the same as accesses to regular memory on x86, the _granularity_ (and ordering) of accesses matter to iomem in ways that they don't matter to regular cached memory. In particular, when ERMS is set, we default to using "rep movsb" for larger memory copies. That is indeed perfectly fine for real memory, since the whole point is that the CPU is going to do cacheline optimizations and executes the memory copy efficiently for cached memory. With iomem? Not so much. With iomem, "rep movsb" will indeed work, but it will copy things one byte at a time. Slowly and ponderously. Now, originally, back in 2010 when commit 6175ddf06b61 was done, we didn't use ERMS, and this was much less noticeable. Our normal memcpy() was simpler in other ways too. Because in fact, it's not just about using the string instructions. Our memcpy() these days does things like "read and write overlapping values" to handle the last bytes of the copy. Again, for normal memory, overlapping accesses isn't an issue. For iomem? It can be. So this re-introduces the specialized memcpy_toio(), memcpy_fromio() and memset_io() functions. It doesn't particularly optimize them, but it tries to at least not be horrid, or do overlapping accesses. In fact, this uses the existing __inline_memcpy() function that we still had lying around that uses our very traditional "rep movsl" loop followed by movsw/movsb for the final bytes. Somebody may decide to try to improve on it, but if we've gone almost a decade with only one person really ever noticing and complaining, maybe it's not worth worrying about further, once it's not _completely_ broken?

* Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() functionLinus Torvalds2019-01-033-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The tests were done on a Skylake processor with persistent memory emulated using the "memmap" kernel parameter. dd was used to copy data to the dm-writecache target.

Introduce dax_layout_busy_page() to enable filesystems to wait for pinned DAX pages to be released. Without this wait a filesystem could allocate blocks under active device-DMA to a new file. - DAX arranges for the block layer to be bypassed and uses dax_direct_access() + copy_to_iter() to satisfy read(2) calls. However, the memcpy_mcsafe() facility is available through the pmem block driver. In order to safely handle media errors, via the DAX block-layer bypass, introduce copy_to_iter_mcsafe(). - Fix cache management policy relative to the ACPI NFIT Platform Capabilities Structure to properly elide cache flushes when they are not necessary.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The memcpy_mcsafe() implementation handles CPU exceptions when reading from the source address.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | High latencies can be observed caused by a daemon periodically reading various MSR on all cpus. On KASAN enabled kernels ~10ms latencies can be observed simply reading one MSR. Even without KASAN, sending an IPI to a CPU, which is in a deep sleep state or in a long hard IRQ disabled section, waiting for the answer can consume hundreds of microseconds. All usage sites are in preemptible context, convert rdmsr_safe_on_cpu() to use a completion instead of busy polling. Overall daemon cpu usage was reduced by 35 %, and latencies caused by msr_read() disappeared.

I do agree that things like "get_user()" want to be protected, but not because of any direct bugs or problems with get_user() and friends, but simply because get_user() is an excellent source of a pointer that is obviously controlled from a potentially attacking user space. So it's a prime candidate for then finding _subsequent_ accesses that can then be used to perturb the cache. Unlike the __get_user() case get_user() includes the address limit check near the pointer de-reference. With that locality the speculation can be mitigated with pointer narrowing rather than a barrier, i.e. array_index_nospec(). Where the narrowing is performed by: cmp %limit, %ptr sbb %mask, %mask and %mask, %ptr With respect to speculation the value of %ptr is either less than %limit or NULL.
