x86/entry: Restore traditional SYSENTER calling convention

2015-12-21T15:05:01+00:00

It turns out that some Android versions hardcode the SYSENTER
calling convention.  This is buggy and will cause problems no
matter what the kernel does.  Nonetheless, we should try to
support it.

Credit goes to Linus for pointing out a clean way to handle
the SYSENTER/SYSCALL clobber differences while preserving
straightforward DWARF annotations.

I believe that the original offending Android commit was:

Pull x86 mm changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes are: continued PAT work by Toshi Kani, plus a new
  boot time warning about insecure RWX kernel mappings, by Stephen
  Smalley.

  The new CONFIG_DEBUG_WX=y warning is marked default-y if
  CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y is already eanbled, as a special exception, as
  these bugs are hard to notice and this check already found several
  live bugs"

x86/vdso/compat: Wire up SYSENTER and SYSCSALL for compat userspace

2015-10-09T07:41:09+00:00

What, you didn't realize that SYSENTER and SYSCALL were actually
the same thing? :)

Unlike the old code, this actually passes the ptrace_syscall_32
test on AMD systems.

x86/vdso/32: Save extra registers in the INT80 vsyscall path

2015-10-09T07:41:06+00:00

The goal is to integrate the SYSENTER and SYSCALL32 entry paths
with the INT80 path.  SYSENTER clobbers ESP and EIP.  SYSCALL32
clobbers ECX (and, invisibly, R11).  SYSRETL (long mode to
compat mode) clobbers ECX and, invisibly, R11.  SYSEXIT (which
we only need for native 32-bit) clobbers ECX and EDX.

This means that we'll need to provide ESP to the kernel in a
register (I chose ECX, since it's only needed for SYSENTER) and
we need to provide the args that normally live in ECX and EDX in
memory.

The epilogue needs to restore ECX and EDX, since user code
relies on regs being preserved.

We don't need to do anything special about EIP, since the kernel
already knows where we are.  The kernel will eventually need to
know where int $0x80 lands, so add a vdso_image entry for it.

The only user-visible effect of this code is that ptrace-induced
changes to ECX and EDX during fast syscalls will be lost.  This
is already the case for the SYSENTER path.

x86/vdso: Replace hex int80 CFI annotations with GAS directives

2015-10-09T07:41:06+00:00

Maintaining the current CFI annotations written in R'lyehian is
difficult for most of us.  Translate them to something a little
closer to English.

This will remove the CFI data for kernels built with extremely
old versions of binutils.  I think this is a fair tradeoff for
the ability for mortals to edit the asm.

x86/vdso: Define BUILD_VDSO while building and emit .eh_frame in asm

2015-10-09T07:41:05+00:00

For the vDSO, user code wants runtime unwind info.  Make sure
that, if we use .cfi directives, we generate it.

x86/vdso: Remove runtime 32-bit vDSO selection

2015-10-07T09:34:08+00:00

32-bit userspace will now always see the same vDSO, which is
exactly what used to be the int80 vDSO.  Subsequent patches will
clean it up and make it support SYSENTER and SYSCALL using
alternatives.

x86/vdso32: Define PGTABLE_LEVELS to 32bit VDSO

2015-09-22T19:27:32+00:00

In case of CONFIG_X86_64, vdso32/vclock_gettime.c fakes a 32-bit
non-PAE kernel configuration by re-defining it to CONFIG_X86_32.
However, it does not re-define CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS leaving it
as 4 levels.

This mismatch leads  to NOT include  and , which will cause
compile errors when a later patch enhances  to
use PUD_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT.  These -nopud & -nopmd headers define
these SHIFTs for the 32-bit non-PAE kernel.

Fix it by re-defining CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS to 2 levels.
