x86: move i386 and x86_64 Makefiles to arch/x86 Moving the ARCH specific Makefiles for i386 and x86_64 required a litle bit tweaking in the top-lvel Makefile.

x86: Default to ARCH=x86 to avoid overriding CONFIG_64BIT It is easy to waste a bunch of time when one takes a 32-bit .config from a test machine and try to build it on a faster 64-bit system, and its existing setting of CONFIG_64BIT=n gets *changed* to match the build host. Similarly, if one has an existing build tree it is easy to trash an entire build tree that way. This is because the default setting for $ARCH when discovered from 'uname' is one of the legacy pre-x86-merge values (i386 or x86_64), which effectively force the setting of CONFIG_64BIT to match. We should default to ARCH=x86 instead, finally completing the merge that we started so long ago. This patch preserves the behaviour of the legacy ARCH settings for commands such as: make ARCH=x86_64 randconfig make ARCH=i386 randconfig ... since making the value of CONFIG_64BIT actually random in that situation is not desirable. In time, perhaps we can retire this legacy use of the old ARCH= values. We already have a way to override values for *any* config option, using $KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, so it could be argued that we don't necessarily need to keep ARCH={i386,x86_64} around as a special case just for overriding CONFIG_64BIT. We'd probably at least want to add a way to override config options from the command line ('make CONFIG_FOO=y oldconfig') before we talk about doing that though.

This requires that the decompressed size is passed to the decompression routine as well so that relocations can be found.

x86/build: Fix detection of GCC -mpreferred-stack-boundary support As per: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53383 GCC only allows -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 on x86_64 if -mno-sse is set. That means that cc-option will not detect -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 support, because we test for it before setting -mno-sse. Fix it by reordering the Makefile bits. Compile-tested only. This should help avoid code generation issues such as the one that was worked around in: b96fecbfa8c8 ("x86/fpu: Fix boot crash in the early FPU code") I'm a bit concerned that we could still have problems on older GCC versions given that our asm code does not respect GCC's idea of the ABI-required stack alignment.

x86: correctly set UTS_MACHINE for "make ARCH=x86" For a kernel built with "make ARCH=x86" the following system information is displayed when running the new kernel $ uname -m x86 On some i386 systems (e.g. K7) we even have the following information $ uname -m x66 This is weird. The usual information for "uname -m" should be "x86_64" on 64-bit and "i386" or "i686" on 32-bit. This patch fixes the issue by setting UTS_MACHINE to "i386" for 32-bit kernel builds and to "x86_64" for 64-bit kernel builds. I.e., "x86" won't be used for UTS_MACHINE anymore.

x86: correctly set UTS_MACHINE for "make ARCH=x86" For a kernel built with "make ARCH=x86" the following system information is displayed when running the new kernel $ uname -m x86 On some i386 systems (e.g. K7) we even have the following information $ uname -m x66 This is weird. The usual information for "uname -m" should be "x86_64" on 64-bit and "i386" or "i686" on 32-bit. This patch fixes the issue by setting UTS_MACHINE to "i386" for 32-bit kernel builds and to "x86_64" for 64-bit kernel builds. I.e., "x86" won't be used for UTS_MACHINE anymore.

The cc-option marcro uses KBUILD_CFLAGS. - The "No need to remake" line are deleted. It caused "make -B" to fail - For 64 bit the sub architecture stuff is not used. - The way head64.o is specified could be nicer - but it awaits the introduction of head32.o (which seems like a win to introduce for readability) - Patch is checkpatch clean Patch is tested by doing a defconfig build for i386 and x86_64 and in both cases monitoring that only relevant files were recompiled when applying the patch.

x86-64, build: Fix stack protector Makefile breakage with 32-bit userland If you are using a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userland, then scripts/gcc-x86_64-has-stack-protector.sh invokes 32-bit gcc with -mcmodel=kernel, which produces: <stdin>:1:0: error: code model 'kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode and trips the "broken compiler" test at arch/x86/Makefile:120.

x86: Align jump targets to 1-byte boundaries The following NOP in a hot function caught my attention: > 5a: 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopw 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) That's a dead NOP that bloats the function a bit, added for the default 16-byte alignment that GCC applies for jump targets. I realize that x86 CPU manufacturers recommend 16-byte jump target alignments (it's in the Intel optimization manual), to help their relatively narrow decoder prefetch alignment and uop cache constraints, but the cost of that is very significant: text data bss dec filename 12566391 1617840 1089536 15273767 vmlinux.align.16-byte 12224951 1617840 1089536 14932327 vmlinux.align.1-byte By using 1-byte jump target alignment (i.e. no alignment at all) we get an almost 3% reduction in kernel size (!) - and a probably similar reduction in I$ footprint. Now, the usual justification for jump target alignment is the following: - modern decoders tend to have 16-byte (effective) decoder prefetch windows. (AMD documents it higher but measurements suggest the effective prefetch window on curretn uarchs is still around 16 bytes) - on Intel there's also the uop-cache with cachelines that have 16-byte granularity and limited associativity. - older x86 uarchs had a penalty for decoder fetches that crossed 16-byte boundaries. These limits are mostly gone from recent uarchs. So if a forward jump target is aligned to cacheline boundary then prefetches will start from a new prefetch-cacheline and there's higher chance for decoding in fewer steps and packing tightly. But I think that argument is flawed for typical optimized kernel code flows: forward jumps often go to 'cold' (uncommon) pieces of code, and aligning cold code to cache lines does not bring a lot of advantages (they are uncommon), while it causes collateral damage: - their alignment 'spreads out' the cache footprint, it shifts followup hot code further out - plus it slows down even 'cold' code that immediately follows 'hot' code (like in the above case), which could have benefited from the partial cacheline that comes off the end of hot code. But even in the cache-hot case the 16 byte alignment brings disadvantages: - it spreads out the cache footprint, possibly making the code fall out of the L1 I$. - On Intel CPUs, recent microarchitectures have plenty of uop cache (typically doubling every 3 years) - while the size of the L1 cache grows much less aggressively. So workloads are rarely uop cache limited. The only situation where alignment might matter are tight loops that could fit into a single 16 byte chunk - but those are pretty rare in the kernel: if they exist they tend to be pointer chasing or generic memory ops, which both tend to be cache miss (or cache allocation) intensive and are not decoder bandwidth limited. So the balance of arguments strongly favors packing kernel instructions tightly versus maximizing for decoder bandwidth: this patch changes the jump target alignment from 16 bytes to 1 byte (tightly packed, unaligned).

x86: Pack loops tightly as well Packing loops tightly (-falign-loops=1) is beneficial to code size: text data bss dec filename 12566391 1617840 1089536 15273767 vmlinux.align.16-byte 12224951 1617840 1089536 14932327 vmlinux.align.1-byte 11976567 1617840 1089536 14683943 vmlinux.align.1-byte.funcs-1-byte 11903735 1617840 1089536 14611111 vmlinux.align.1-byte.funcs-1-byte.loops-1-byte Which reduces the size of the kernel by another 0.6%, so the the total combined size reduction of the alignment-packing patches is ~5.5%. The x86 decoder bandwidth and caching arguments laid out in: be6cb02779ca ("x86: Align jump targets to 1-byte boundaries") apply to loop alignment as well. Furtermore, modern CPU uarchs have a loop cache/buffer that is a L0 cache before even any uop cache, covering a few dozen most recently executed instructions. This loop cache generally does not have the 16-byte alignment restrictions of the uop cache. Now loop alignment can still be beneficial if: - a loop is cache-hot and its surroundings are not. - if the loop is so cache hot that the instruction flow becomes x86 decoder bandwidth limited But loop alignment is harmful if: - a loop is cache-cold - a loop's surroundings are cache-hot as well - two cache-hot loops are close to each other - if the loop fits into the loop cache - if the code flow is not decoder bandwidth limited and I'd argue that the latter five scenarios are much more common in the kernel, as our hottest loops are typically: - pointer chasing: this should fit into the loop cache in most cases and is typically data cache and address generation limited - generic memory ops (memset, memcpy, etc.): these generally fit into the loop cache as well, and are likewise data cache limited. So this patch packs loop addresses tightly as well.

x86/asm: Use -mskip-rax-setup if supported GCC 5 added a compiler option, -mskip-rax-setup, for x86-64. It skips setting up the RAX register when SSE is disabled and there are no variable arguments passed in vector registers. (According to the x86_64 ABI, %al is used as a hidden register containing the number of vector registers used). Since the kernel doesn't pass vector registers to functions with variable arguments, this option can be used to optimize the x86-64 kernel.

x86: unification of arch/x86/Makefiles Unify the 32 and 64 bit specific Makefiles. The unification was simplest to do in one step although the readability of the patch suffers a bit from this. Noteworthy remarks on the unification: - The 64 bit cpu stuff should be moved to Makefile_32.cpu but I did not feel confident doing it due to subtle differences - The use of cflags-y were abandoned since we have seen one bug where we did wrong due to missing assignment to KBUILD_CFLAGS. The cc-option marcro uses KBUILD_CFLAGS. - The "No need to remake" line are deleted. It caused "make -B" to fail - For 64 bit the sub architecture stuff is not used. - The way head64.o is specified could be nicer - but it awaits the introduction of head32.o (which seems like a win to introduce for readability) - Patch is checkpatch clean Patch is tested by doing a defconfig build for i386 and x86_64 and in both cases monitoring that only relevant files were recompiled when applying the patch.

kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not "gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers such as icecream do expect. This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel miscompilations. Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this incorrect -x parameter syntax.

kmemcheck: add the kmemcheck core General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been written to, a message is printed to the kernel log. Thanks to Andi Kleen for the set_memory_4k() solution.

x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'. This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel initialization, these relocation entries can be used to relocate the code properly. In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'. 16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code. Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable data references. They are declared in the linker script of the real-mode code. The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.

purgatory: core purgatory functionality Create a stand alone relocatable object purgatory which runs between two kernels. This name, concept and some code has been taken from kexec-tools. Idea is that this code runs after a crash and it runs in minimal environment. So keep it separate from rest of the kernel and in long term we will have to practically do no maintenance of this code. This code also has the logic to do verify sha256 hashes of various segments which have been loaded into memory. So first we verify that the kernel we are jumping to is fine and has not been corrupted and make progress only if checsums are verified. This code also takes care of copying some memory contents to backup region.

kexec: create a new config option CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE for new syscall Currently new system call kexec_file_load() and all the associated code compiles if CONFIG_KEXEC=y. But new syscall also compiles purgatory code which currently uses gcc option -mcmodel=large. This option seems to be available only gcc 4.4 onwards. Hiding new functionality behind a new config option will not break existing users of old gcc. Those who wish to enable new functionality will require new gcc. Having said that, I am trying to figure out how can I move away from using -mcmodel=large but that can take a while. I think there are other advantages of introducing this new config option. As this option will be enabled only on x86_64, other arches don't have to compile generic kexec code which will never be used. This new code selects CRYPTO=y and CRYPTO_SHA256=y. And all other arches had to do this for CONFIG_KEXEC. Now with introduction of new config option, we can remove crypto dependency from other arches. Now CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is available only on x86_64. So whereever I had CONFIG_X86_64 defined, I got rid of that. For CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE, instead of doing select CRYPTO=y, I changed it to "depends on CRYPTO=y". This should be safer as "select" is not recursive. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: H.

purgatory: core purgatory functionality Create a stand alone relocatable object purgatory which runs between two kernels. This name, concept and some code has been taken from kexec-tools. Idea is that this code runs after a crash and it runs in minimal environment. So keep it separate from rest of the kernel and in long term we will have to practically do no maintenance of this code. This code also has the logic to do verify sha256 hashes of various segments which have been loaded into memory. So first we verify that the kernel we are jumping to is fine and has not been corrupted and make progress only if checsums are verified. This code also takes care of copying some memory contents to backup region.

x86: unification of arch/x86/Makefiles Unify the 32 and 64 bit specific Makefiles. The unification was simplest to do in one step although the readability of the patch suffers a bit from this. Noteworthy remarks on the unification: - The 64 bit cpu stuff should be moved to Makefile_32.cpu but I did not feel confident doing it due to subtle differences - The use of cflags-y were abandoned since we have seen one bug where we did wrong due to missing assignment to KBUILD_CFLAGS. The cc-option marcro uses KBUILD_CFLAGS. - The "No need to remake" line are deleted. It caused "make -B" to fail - For 64 bit the sub architecture stuff is not used. - The way head64.o is specified could be nicer - but it awaits the introduction of head32.o (which seems like a win to introduce for readability) - Patch is checkpatch clean Patch is tested by doing a defconfig build for i386 and x86_64 and in both cases monitoring that only relevant files were recompiled when applying the patch.

x86: unification of arch/x86/Makefiles Unify the 32 and 64 bit specific Makefiles. The unification was simplest to do in one step although the readability of the patch suffers a bit from this. Noteworthy remarks on the unification: - The 64 bit cpu stuff should be moved to Makefile_32.cpu but I did not feel confident doing it due to subtle differences - The use of cflags-y were abandoned since we have seen one bug where we did wrong due to missing assignment to KBUILD_CFLAGS. The cc-option marcro uses KBUILD_CFLAGS. - The "No need to remake" line are deleted. It caused "make -B" to fail - For 64 bit the sub architecture stuff is not used. - The way head64.o is specified could be nicer - but it awaits the introduction of head32.o (which seems like a win to introduce for readability) - Patch is checkpatch clean Patch is tested by doing a defconfig build for i386 and x86_64 and in both cases monitoring that only relevant files were recompiled when applying the patch.

kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel script Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL to select a custom installkernel script when running make: make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install With this patch we are now more consistent across different architectures - they did not all support use of CROSS_COMPILE. The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change just because we change toolchain. The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no longer be installable. [Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint] This patch undos what Ian did in commit: 0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46 ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh") The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes looks obvious.
