Josh Poimboeuf e390f9a968 objtool, modules: Discard objtool annotation sections for modules
The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are
only used at compile time.  They're discarded for vmlinux but they
should also be discarded for modules.

Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with
".discard.".  It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards
such sections.

Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section
since it doesn't make sense for a discarded section.

Josh Poimboeuf 55149d0653 objtool, compiler.h: Fix __unreachable section relocation size
Linus reported the following commit broke module loading on his laptop:

  d1091c7fa3 ("objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead ends")

It showed errors like the following:

  module: overflow in relocation type 10 val ffffffffc02afc81
  module: 'nvme' likely not compiled with -mcmodel=kernel

The problem is that the __unreachable section addresses are stored using
the '.long' asm directive, which isn't big enough for .text section
kernel addresses.  Use relative addresses instead:

  ".long %c0b - .\t\n"

Josh Poimboeuf 3d1e236022 objtool: Prevent GCC from merging annotate_unreachable()
0-day bot reported some new objtool warnings which were caused by the
new annotate_unreachable() macro:

  fs/afs/flock.o: warning: objtool: afs_do_unlk()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save
  fs/afs/flock.o: warning: objtool: afs_do_unlk()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch
  fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.o: warning: objtool: btrfs_delete_delayed_dir_index()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save
  fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.o: warning: objtool: btrfs_delete_delayed_dir_index()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch
  fs/dlm/lock.o: warning: objtool: _grant_lock()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save
  fs/dlm/lock.o: warning: objtool: _grant_lock()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch
  fs/ocfs2/alloc.o: warning: objtool: ocfs2_mv_path()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save
  fs/ocfs2/alloc.o: warning: objtool: ocfs2_mv_path()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch

It turns out that, for older versions of GCC, if a function has multiple
BUG() incantations, GCC will sometimes merge the corresponding
annotate_unreachable() inline asm statements into a single block.  That
has the undesirable effect of removing one of the entries in the
__unreachable section, confusing objtool greatly.

A workaround for this issue is to ensure that each instance of the
inline asm statement uses a different label, so that GCC sees the
statements are unique and leaves them alone.  The inline asm ‘%=’ token
could be used for that, but unfortunately older versions of GCC don't
support it.  So I implemented a poor man's version of it with the
__LINE__ macro.

Add __mode(x) into compiler-gcc.h as part of a cleanup task I've taken

Josh Poimboeuf d1091c7fa3 objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead ends
The BUG() macro's use of __builtin_unreachable() via the unreachable()
macro tells gcc that the instruction is a dead end, and that it's safe
to assume the current code path will not execute past the previous
instruction.

On x86, the BUG() macro is implemented with the 'ud2' instruction.  When
objtool's branch analysis sees that instruction, it knows the current
code path has come to a dead end.

Peter Zijlstra has been working on a patch to change the WARN macros to
use 'ud2'.  That patch will break objtool's assumption that 'ud2' is
always a dead end.

Generally it's best for objtool to avoid making those kinds of
assumptions anyway.  The more ignorant it is of kernel code internals,
the better.

So create a more generic way for objtool to detect dead ends by adding
an annotation to the unreachable() macro.  The annotation stores a
pointer to the end of the unreachable code path in an '__unreachable'
section.  Objtool can read that section to find the dead ends.

Gideon Israel Dsouza d8c34b949d crypto: Replaced gcc specific attributes with macros from compiler.h
Continuing from this commit: 52f5684c8e
("kernel: use macros from compiler.h instead of __attribute__((...))")

I submitted 4 total patches. They are part of task I've taken up to
increase compiler portability in the kernel. I've cleaned up the
subsystems under /kernel /mm /block and /security, this patch targets
/crypto.

There is <linux/compiler.h> which provides macros for various gcc specific
constructs. Eg: __weak for __attribute__((weak)). I've cleaned all
instances of gcc specific attributes with the right macros for the crypto
subsystem.

I had to make one additional change into compiler-gcc.h for the case when
one wants to use this: __attribute__((aligned) and not specify an alignment
factor. From the gcc docs, this will result in the largest alignment for
that data type on the target machine so I've named the macro
__aligned_largest. Please advise if another name is more appropriate.

Emese Revfy 0766f788eb latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropy
The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
variables.  If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
the plugin will initialize it with random contents.  The variable must
be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.

These specific functions have been selected because they are init
functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
latent entropy.

Josh Poimboeuf 0d025d271e mm/usercopy: get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS
There are three usercopy warnings which are currently being silenced for
gcc 4.6 and newer:

1) "copy_from_user() buffer size is too small" compile warning/error

   This is a static warning which happens when object size and copy size
   are both const, and copy size > object size.  I didn't see any false
   positives for this one.  So the function warning attribute seems to
   be working fine here.

   Note this scenario is always a bug and so I think it should be
   changed to *always* be an error, regardless of
   CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS.

2) "copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct" compile warning

   This is another static warning which happens when I enable
   __compiletime_object_size() for new compilers (and
   CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS).  It happens when object size
   is const, but copy size is *not*.  In this case there's no way to
   compare the two at build time, so it gives the warning.  (Note the
   warning is a byproduct of the fact that gcc has no way of knowing
   whether the overflow function will be called, so the call isn't dead
   code and the warning attribute is activated.)

   So this warning seems to only indicate "this is an unusual pattern,
   maybe you should check it out" rather than "this is a bug".

   I get 102(!) of these warnings with allyesconfig and the
   __compiletime_object_size() gcc check removed.  I don't know if there
   are any real bugs hiding in there, but from looking at a small
   sample, I didn't see any.  According to Kees, it does sometimes find
   real bugs.  But the false positive rate seems high.

3) "Buffer overflow detected" runtime warning

   This is a runtime warning where object size is const, and copy size >
   object size.

All three warnings (both static and runtime) were completely disabled
for gcc 4.6 with the following commit:

  2fb0815c9e ("gcc4: disable __compiletime_object_size for GCC 4.6+")

That commit mistakenly assumed that the false positives were caused by a
gcc bug in __compiletime_object_size().  But in fact,
__compiletime_object_size() seems to be working fine.  The false
positives were instead triggered by #2 above.  (Though I don't have an
explanation for why the warnings supposedly only started showing up in
gcc 4.6.)

So remove warning #2 to get rid of all the false positives, and re-enable
warnings #1 and #3 by reverting the above commit.

Furthermore, since #1 is a real bug which is detected at compile time,
upgrade it to always be an error.

Having done all that, CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS is no longer
needed.

Rasmus Villemoes d64e85d3e1 compiler.h: add support for malloc attribute
gcc as far back as at least 3.04 documents the function attribute
__malloc__.  Add a shorthand for attaching that to a function
declaration.  This was also suggested by Andi Kleen way back in 2002
[1], but didn't get applied, perhaps because gcc at that time generated
the exact same code with and without this attribute.

This attribute tells the compiler that the return value (if non-NULL)
can be assumed not to alias any other valid pointers at the time of the
call.

Please note that the documentation for a range of gcc versions (starting
from around 4.7) contained a somewhat confusing and self-contradicting
text:

  The malloc attribute is used to tell the compiler that a function may
  be treated as if any non-NULL pointer it returns cannot alias any other
  pointer valid when the function returns and *that the memory has
  undefined content*.  [...] Standard functions with this property include
  malloc and *calloc*.

(emphasis mine). The intended meaning has later been clarified [2]:

  This tells the compiler that a function is malloc-like, i.e., that the
  pointer P returned by the function cannot alias any other pointer valid
  when the function returns, and moreover no pointers to valid objects
  occur in any storage addressed by P.

What this means is that we can apply the attribute to kmalloc and
friends, and it is ok for the returned memory to have well-defined
contents (__GFP_ZERO).  But it is not ok to apply it to kmemdup(), nor
to other functions which both allocate and possibly initialize the
memory with existing pointers.  So unless someone is doing something
pretty perverted kstrdup() should also be a fine candidate.

Josh Poimboeuf 8634de6d25 compiler-gcc: require gcc 4.8 for powerpc __builtin_bswap16()
gcc support for __builtin_bswap16() was supposedly added for powerpc in
gcc 4.6, and was then later added for other architectures in gcc 4.8.

However, Stephen Rothwell reported that attempting to use it on powerpc
in gcc 4.6 fails with:

  lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: initializer element is not constant
  lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: (near initialization for 'decpair[0]')
  lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: initializer element is not constant
  lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: (near initialization for 'decpair[1]')
  ...

I'm not entirely sure what those errors mean, but I don't see them on
gcc 4.8.  So let's consider gcc 4.8 to be the official starting point
for __builtin_bswap16().

Arnd Bergmann adds:
 "I found the commit in gcc-4.8 that replaced the powerpc-specific
  implementation of __builtin_bswap16 with an architecture-independent
  one.  Apparently the powerpc version (gcc-4.6 and 4.7) just mapped to
  the lhbrx/sthbrx instructions, so it ended up not being a constant,
  though the intent of the patch was mainly to add support for the
  builtin to x86:

    https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52624

  has the patch that went into gcc-4.8 and more information."

So hide the definition of __assume_aligned from it (so that the generic
one in compiler.h gets used).

Andrey Ryabinin d976441f44 compiler, atomics, kasan: Provide READ_ONCE_NOCHECK()
Some code may perform racy by design memory reads. This could be
harmless, yet such code may produce KASAN warnings.

To hide such accesses from KASAN this patch introduces
READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() macro. KASAN will not check the memory
accessed by READ_ONCE_NOCHECK(). The KernelThreadSanitizer
(KTSAN) is going to ignore it as well.

This patch creates __read_once_size_nocheck() a clone of
__read_once_size(). The only difference between them is
'no_sanitized_address' attribute appended to '*_nocheck'
function. This attribute tells the compiler that instrumentation
of memory accesses should not be applied to that function. We
declare it as static '__maybe_unsed' because GCC is not capable
to inline such function:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67368

With KASAN=n READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() is just a clone of READ_ONCE().

Daniel Borkmann 7829fb09a2 lib: make memzero_explicit more robust against dead store elimination
In commit 0b053c9518 ("lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead
of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR"), we made memzero_explicit() more robust in
case LTO would decide to inline memzero_explicit() and eventually
find out it could be elimiated as dead store.

While using barrier() works well for the case of gcc, recent efforts
from LLVMLinux people suggest to use llvm as an alternative to gcc,
and there, Stephan found in a simple stand-alone user space example
that llvm could nevertheless optimize and thus elimitate the memset().
A similar issue has been observed in the referenced llvm bug report,
which is regarded as not-a-bug.

Based on some experiments, icc is a bit special on its own, while it
doesn't seem to eliminate the memset(), it could do so with an own
implementation, and then result in similar findings as with llvm.

The fix in this patch now works for all three compilers (also tested
with more aggressive optimization levels). Arguably, in the current
kernel tree it's more of a theoretical issue, but imho, it's better
to be pedantic about it.

It's clearly visible with gcc/llvm though, with the below code: if we
would have used barrier() only here, llvm would have omitted clearing,
not so with barrier_data() variant:

  static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count)
  {
    memset(s, 0, count);
    barrier_data(s);
  }

  int main(void)
  {
    char buff[20];
    memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff));
    return 0;
  }

  $ gdb a.out
  (gdb) disassemble main

As gcc, clang, but also icc defines __GNUC__, it's sufficient to define
this in compiler-gcc.h only to be picked up. For a fallback or otherwise
unsupported compiler, we define it as a barrier. Similarly, for ecc which
does not support gcc inline asm.

Cesar Eduardo Barros fe8c8a1268 crypto: more robust crypto_memneq
Disabling compiler optimizations can be fragile, since a new
optimization could be added to -O0 or -Os that breaks the assumptions
the code is making.

Instead of disabling compiler optimizations, use a dummy inline assembly
(based on RELOC_HIDE) to block the problematic kinds of optimization,
while still allowing other optimizations to be applied to the code.

The dummy inline assembly is added after every OR, and has the
accumulator variable as its input and output. The compiler is forced to
assume that the dummy inline assembly could both depend on the
accumulator variable and change the accumulator variable, so it is
forced to compute the value correctly before the inline assembly, and
cannot assume anything about its value after the inline assembly.

This change should be enough to make crypto_memneq work correctly (with
data-independent timing) even if it is inlined at its call sites. That
can be done later in a followup patch.

Compile-tested on x86_64.

Daniel Santos 3f3f8d2f48 compiler-gcc.h: Add gcc-recommended GCC_VERSION macro
Throughout compiler*.h, many version checks are made.  These can be
simplified by using the macro that gcc's documentation recommends.
However, my primary reason for adding this is that I need bug-check
macros that are enabled at certain gcc versions and it's cleaner to use
this macro than the tradition method:

  #if __GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR__ => 2)

If you add patch level, it gets this ugly:

  #if __GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && (__GNUC_MINOR__ > 2 || \
      __GNUC_MINOR__ == 2 __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ >= 1))

As opposed to:

  #if GCC_VERSION >= 40201

While having separate headers for gcc 3 & 4 eliminates some of this
verbosity, they can still be cleaned up by this.

Steven Rostedt 93b3cca1cc ftrace: Make all inline tags also include notrace
Commit 5963e317b1 ("ftrace/x86: Do not change stacks in DEBUG when
calling lockdep") prevented lockdep calls from the int3 breakpoint handler
from reseting the stack if a function that was called was in the process
of being converted for tracing and had a breakpoint on it. The idea is,
before calling the lockdep code, do a load_idt() to the special IDT that
kept the breakpoint stack from reseting. This worked well as a quick fix
for this kernel release, until a certain config caused a lockup in the
function tracer start up tests.

Investigating it, I found that the load_idt that was used to prevent
the int3 from changing stacks was itself being traced!

Even though the config had CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING disabled, and
all 'inline' tags were set to always inline, there were still cases that
it did not inline! This was caused by CONFIG_PARAVIRT_GUEST, where it
would add a pointer to the native_load_idt() which made that function
to be traced.

Commit 45959ee7aa ("ftrace: Do not function trace inlined functions")
only touched the 'inline' tags when CONFIG_OPMITIZE_INLINING was enabled.
PARAVIRT_GUEST shows that this was not enough and we need to also
mark always_inline with notrace as well.

Steven Rostedt 45959ee7aa ftrace: Do not function trace inlined functions
When gcc inlines a function, it does not mark it with the mcount
prologue, which in turn means that inlined functions are not traced
by the function tracer. But if CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is set, then
gcc is allowed not to inline a function that is marked inline.

Depending on the options and the compiler, a function may or may
not be traced by the function tracer, depending on whether gcc
decides to inline a function or not. This has caused several
problems in the pass becaues gcc is not always consistent with
what it decides to inline between different gcc versions.

Some places should not be traced (like paravirt native_* functions)
and these are mostly marked as inline. When gcc decides not to
inline the function, and if that function should not be traced, then
the ftrace function tracer will suddenly break when it use to work
fine. This becomes even harder to debug when different versions of
gcc will not inline that function, making the same kernel and config
work for some gcc versions and not work for others.

By making all functions marked inline to not be traced will remove
the ambiguity that gcc adds when it comes to tracing functions marked
inline. All gcc versions will be consistent with what functions are
traced and having volatile working code will be removed.

Note, only the inline macro when CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is set needs
to have notrace added, as the attribute __always_inline will force
the function to be inlined and then not traced.

Mikael Pettersson 9c695203a7 compiler-gcc.h: gcc-4.5 needs noclone and noinline on __naked functions
A __naked function is defined in C but with a body completely implemented
by asm(), including any prologue and epilogue.  These asm() bodies expect
standard calling conventions for parameter passing.  Older GCCs implement
that correctly, but 4.[56] currently do not, see GCC PR44290.  In the
Linux kernel this breaks ARM, causing most arch/arm/mm/copypage-*.c
modules to get miscompiled, resulting in kernel crashes during bootup.

Part of the kernel fix is to augment the __naked function attribute to
also imply noinline and noclone.  This patch implements that, and has been
verified to fix boot failures with gcc-4.5 compiled 2.6.34 and 2.6.35-rc1
kernels.  The patch is a no-op with older GCCs.

David Rientjes 0d7ebbbc6e compiler: introduce __used and __maybe_unused
__used is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for all pre-3.3 gcc
compilers to suppress warnings for unused functions because perhaps they
are referenced only in inline assembly.  It is defined to be
__attribute__((used)) for gcc 3.3 and later so that the code is still
emitted for such functions.

__maybe_unused is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for both function
and variable use if it could possibly be unreferenced due to the evaluation
of preprocessor macros.  Function prototypes shall be marked with
__maybe_unused if the actual definition of the function is dependant on
preprocessor macros.

No update to compiler-intel.h is necessary because ICC supports both
__attribute__((used)) and __attribute__((unused)) as specified by the gcc
manual.

__attribute_used__ is deprecated and will be removed once all current
code is converted to using __used.

#define __aligned(x)                   __attribute__((aligned(x)))
#define __printf(a,b)                  __attribute__((format(printf,a,b)))

Once these are in place, it's up to subsystem maintainers to decide if they
want to take advantage of them.  there is already a strong precedent for
using shortcuts like this in the source tree.

The ones that might give people pause are "__aligned" and "__printf", but
shortcuts for both of those are already in use, and in some ways very
confusingly.  note the two very different definitions for a macro named
"ALIGNED":

  drivers/net/sgiseeq.c:#define ALIGNED(x) ((((unsigned long)(x)) + 0xf) & ~(0xf))
  drivers/scsi/ultrastor.c:#define ALIGNED(x) __attribute__((aligned(x)))

also:

  include/acpi/platform/acgcc.h:
    #define ACPI_PRINTF_LIKE(c) __attribute__ ((__format__ (__printf__, c, c+1)))

Given the precedent, then, it seems logical to at least standardize on a
consistent set of these macros.

Anton Blanchard c8d52465f9 [PATCH] Work around ppc64 compiler bug
In the process of optimising our per cpu data code, I found a ppc64
compiler bug that has been around forever. Basically the current
RELOC_HIDE can end up trashing r30. Details of the bug can be found at

  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25572

This bug is present in all compilers before 4.1. It is masked by the
fact that our current per cpu data code is inefficient and causes
other loads that end up marking r30 as used.

A workaround identified by Alan Modra is to use the =r asm constraint
instead of =g.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
