/*
* entry.S contains the system-call and fault low-level handling routines.
*
* Some of this is documented in Documentation/x86/entry_64.txt
*
* NOTE: This code handles signal-recognition, which happens every time
* after an interrupt and after each system call.
*
* Normal syscalls and interrupts don't save a full stack frame, this is
* only done for syscall tracing, signals or fork/exec et.al.
*
* A note on terminology:
* - top of stack: Architecture defined interrupt frame from SS to RIP
* at the top of the kernel process stack.
* - partial stack frame: partially saved registers up to R11.
* - full stack frame: Like partial stack frame, but all register saved.
*
* Some macro usage:
* - CFI macros are used to generate dwarf2 unwind information for better
* backtraces. They don't change any code.
* - SAVE_ALL/RESTORE_ALL - Save/restore all registers
* - SAVE_ARGS/RESTORE_ARGS - Save/restore registers that C functions modify.
* There are unfortunately lots of special cases where some registers
* not touched. The macro is a big mess that should be cleaned up.
* - SAVE_REST/RESTORE_REST - Handle the registers not saved by SAVE_ARGS.
* Gives a full stack frame.
* - ENTRY/END Define functions in the symbol table.
* - FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK/RESTORE_TOP_OF_STACK - Fix up the hardware stack
* frame that is otherwise undefined after a SYSCALL
* - TRACE_IRQ_* - Trace hard interrupt state for lock debugging.
* - errorentry/paranoidentry/zeroentry - Define exception entry points.

Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.h The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was. Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating success or failure. This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall. The fix is to fix the layering foolishness. We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to determine if the syscall was a success or failure. We also define a generic is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the value is < -MAX_ERRNO. This works for arches like x86 which do not use a separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure. We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines instead of macros. The reason is because the audit function must take a void* for the regs. (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs). Since the audit function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the arch correct structure to dereference it. The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure. THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs. In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old audit code as the return value. But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro regs_return_value() as regs[3]. I have no idea which one is correct, but this patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3]. For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3]. regs->gprs[3] is always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative before calling the audit code when appropriate.

x86: Separate out entry text section Put x86 entry code into a separate link section: .entry.text. Separating the entry text section seems to have performance benefits - caused by more efficient instruction cache usage. Running hackbench with perf stat --repeat showed that the change compresses the icache footprint. The icache load miss rate went down by about 15%: before patch: 19417627 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.147% ) after patch: 16490788 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.180% ) The motivation of the patch was to fix a particular kprobes bug that relates to the entry text section, the performance advantage was discovered accidentally. Whole perf output follows: - results for current tip tree: Performance counter stats for './hackbench/hackbench 10' (500 runs): 19417627 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.147% ) 2676914223 instructions # 0.497 IPC ( +- 0.079% ) 5389516026 cycles ( +- 0.144% ) 0.206267711 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.138% ) - results for current tip tree with the patch applied: Performance counter stats for './hackbench/hackbench 10' (500 runs): 16490788 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.180% ) 2717734941 instructions # 0.502 IPC ( +- 0.079% ) 5414756975 cycles ( +- 0.148% ) 0.206747566 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.137% ) Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk> Cc: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com Cc: ananth@in.ibm.com Cc: davem@davemloft.net Cc: 2nddept-manager@sdl.hitachi.co.jp LKML-Reference: <20110307181039.GB15197@jolsa.redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

ftrace/x86: Add separate function to save regs Add a way to have different functions calling different trampolines. If a ftrace_ops wants regs saved on the return, then have only the functions with ops registered to save regs. Functions registered by other ops would not be affected, unless the functions overlap. If one ftrace_ops registered functions A, B and C and another ops registered fucntions to save regs on A, and D, then only functions A and D would be saving regs. Function B and C would work as normal. Although A is registered by both ops: normal and saves regs; this is fine as saving the regs is needed to satisfy one of the ops that calls it but the regs are ignored by the other ops function. x86_64 implements the full regs saving, and i386 just passes a NULL for regs to satisfy the ftrace_ops passing. Where an arch must supply both regs and ftrace_ops parameters, even if regs is just NULL. It is OK for an arch to pass NULL regs. All function trace users that require regs passing must add the flag FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS when registering the ftrace_ops. If the arch does not support saving regs then the ftrace_ops will fail to register. The flag FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS_IF_SUPPORTED may be set that will prevent the ftrace_ops from failing to register. In this case, the handler may either check if regs is not NULL or check if ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS. If the arch supports passing regs it will set this macro and pass regs for ops that request them. All other archs will just pass NULL.

tracing/function-graph-tracer: support for x86-64 Impact: extend and enable the function graph tracer to 64-bit x86 This patch implements the support for function graph tracer under x86-64. Both static and dynamic tracing are supported. This causes some small CPP conditional asm on arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c I wanted to use probe_kernel_read/write to make the return address saving/patching code more generic but it causes tracing recursion. That would be perhaps useful to implement a notrace version of these function for other archs ports. Note that arch/x86/process_64.c is not traced, as in X86-32. I first thought __switch_to() was responsible of crashes during tracing because I believed current task were changed inside but that's actually not the case (actually yes, but not the "current" pointer). So I will have to investigate to find the functions that harm here, to enable tracing of the other functions inside (but there is no issue at this time, while process_64.c stays out of -pg flags). A little possible race condition is fixed inside this patch too. When the tracer allocate a return stack dynamically, the current depth is not initialized before but after. An interrupt could occur at this time and, after seeing that the return stack is allocated, the tracer could try to trace it with a random uninitialized depth. It's a prevention, even if I hadn't problems with it.

ftrace/x86: Add separate function to save regs Add a way to have different functions calling different trampolines. If a ftrace_ops wants regs saved on the return, then have only the functions with ops registered to save regs. Functions registered by other ops would not be affected, unless the functions overlap. If one ftrace_ops registered functions A, B and C and another ops registered fucntions to save regs on A, and D, then only functions A and D would be saving regs. Function B and C would work as normal. Although A is registered by both ops: normal and saves regs; this is fine as saving the regs is needed to satisfy one of the ops that calls it but the regs are ignored by the other ops function. x86_64 implements the full regs saving, and i386 just passes a NULL for regs to satisfy the ftrace_ops passing. Where an arch must supply both regs and ftrace_ops parameters, even if regs is just NULL. It is OK for an arch to pass NULL regs. All function trace users that require regs passing must add the flag FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS when registering the ftrace_ops. If the arch does not support saving regs then the ftrace_ops will fail to register. The flag FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS_IF_SUPPORTED may be set that will prevent the ftrace_ops from failing to register. In this case, the handler may either check if regs is not NULL or check if ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS. If the arch supports passing regs it will set this macro and pass regs for ops that request them. All other archs will just pass NULL.

tracing/function-graph-tracer: support for x86-64 Impact: extend and enable the function graph tracer to 64-bit x86 This patch implements the support for function graph tracer under x86-64. Both static and dynamic tracing are supported. This causes some small CPP conditional asm on arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c I wanted to use probe_kernel_read/write to make the return address saving/patching code more generic but it causes tracing recursion. That would be perhaps useful to implement a notrace version of these function for other archs ports. Note that arch/x86/process_64.c is not traced, as in X86-32. I first thought __switch_to() was responsible of crashes during tracing because I believed current task were changed inside but that's actually not the case (actually yes, but not the "current" pointer). So I will have to investigate to find the functions that harm here, to enable tracing of the other functions inside (but there is no issue at this time, while process_64.c stays out of -pg flags). A little possible race condition is fixed inside this patch too. When the tracer allocate a return stack dynamically, the current depth is not initialized before but after. An interrupt could occur at this time and, after seeing that the return stack is allocated, the tracer could try to trace it with a random uninitialized depth. It's a prevention, even if I hadn't problems with it.

function-graph: add stack frame test In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return from function code, we would like to detect that. An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for this purpose. This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit. There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes. This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was. This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate the new prototype. Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace. This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

ftrace/x86: Do not change stacks in DEBUG when calling lockdep When both DYNAMIC_FTRACE and LOCKDEP are set, the TRACE_IRQS_ON/OFF will call into the lockdep code. The lockdep code can call lots of functions that may be traced by ftrace. When ftrace is updating its code and hits a breakpoint, the breakpoint handler will call into lockdep. If lockdep happens to call a function that also has a breakpoint attached, it will jump back into the breakpoint handler resetting the stack to the debug stack and corrupt the contents currently on that stack. The 'do_sym' call that calls do_int3() is protected by modifying the IST table to point to a different location if another breakpoint is hit. But the TRACE_IRQS_OFF/ON are outside that protection, and if a breakpoint is hit from those, the stack will get corrupted, and the kernel will crash: [ 1013.243754] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000002 [ 1013.272665] IP: [<ffff880145cc0000>] 0xffff880145cbffff [ 1013.285186] PGD 1401b2067 PUD 14324c067 PMD 0 [ 1013.298832] Oops: 0010 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 1013.310600] CPU 2 [ 1013.317904] Modules linked in: ip6t_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv6 xt_state nf_conntrack ip6table_filter ip6_tables crc32c_intel ghash_clmulni_intel microcode usb_debug serio_raw pcspkr iTCO_wdt i2c_i801 iTCO_vendor_support e1000e nfsd nfs_acl auth_rpcgss lockd sunrpc i915 video i2c_algo_bit drm_kms_helper drm i2c_core [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] [ 1013.401848] [ 1013.407399] Pid: 112, comm: kworker/2:1 Not tainted 3.4.0+ #30 [ 1013.437943] RIP: 8eb8:[<ffff88014630a000>] [<ffff88014630a000>] 0xffff880146309fff [ 1013.459871] RSP: ffffffff8165e919:ffff88014780f408 EFLAGS: 00010046 [ 1013.477909] RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffffffff81104020 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 1013.499458] RDX: ffff880148008ea8 RSI: ffffffff8131ef40 RDI: ffffffff82203b20 [ 1013.521612] RBP: ffffffff81005751 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 1013.543121] R10: ffffffff82cdc318 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff880145cc0000 [ 1013.564614] R13: ffff880148008eb8 R14: 0000000000000002 R15: ffff88014780cb40 [ 1013.586108] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff880148000000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 1013.609458] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b [ 1013.627420] CR2: 0000000000000002 CR3: 0000000141f10000 CR4: 00000000001407e0 [ 1013.649051] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 1013.670724] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 1013.692376] Process kworker/2:1 (pid: 112, threadinfo ffff88013fe0e000, task ffff88014020a6a0) [ 1013.717028] Stack: [ 1013.724131] ffff88014780f570 ffff880145cc0000 0000400000004000 0000000000000000 [ 1013.745918] cccccccccccccccc ffff88014780cca8 ffffffff811072bb ffffffff81651627 [ 1013.767870] ffffffff8118f8a7 ffffffff811072bb ffffffff81f2b6c5 ffffffff81f11bdb [ 1013.790021] Call Trace: [ 1013.800701] Code: 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a <e7> d7 64 81 ff ff ff ff 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 65 d9 64 81 ff [ 1013.861443] RIP [<ffff88014630a000>] 0xffff880146309fff [ 1013.884466] RSP <ffff88014780f408> [ 1013.901507] CR2: 0000000000000002 The solution was to reuse the NMI functions that change the IDT table to make the debug stack keep its current stack (in kernel mode) when hitting a breakpoint: call debug_stack_set_zero TRACE_IRQS_ON call debug_stack_reset If the TRACE_IRQS_ON happens to hit a breakpoint then it will keep the current stack and not crash the box.

x86: move entry_64.S register saving out of the macros Here is a combined patch that moves "save_args" out-of-line for the interrupt macro and moves "error_entry" mostly out-of-line for the zeroentry and errorentry macros. The save_args function becomes really straightforward and easy to understand, with the possible exception of the stack switch code, which now needs to copy the return address of to the calling function. Normal interrupts arrive with ((~vector)-0x80) on the stack, which gets adjusted in common_interrupt: <common_interrupt>: (5) addq $0xffffffffffffff80,(%rsp) /* -> ~(vector) */ (4) sub $0x50,%rsp /* space for registers */ (5) callq ffffffff80211290 <save_args> (5) callq ffffffff80214290 <do_IRQ> <ret_from_intr>: ...

x86: Don't use frame pointer to save old stack on irq entry rbp is used in SAVE_ARGS_IRQ to save the old stack pointer in order to restore it later in ret_from_intr. It is convenient because we save its value in the irq regs and it's easily restored using the leave instruction. However this is a kind of abuse of the frame pointer which role is to help unwinding the kernel by chaining frames together, each node following the return address to the previous frame. But although we are breaking the frame by changing the stack pointer, there is no preceding return address before the new frame. Hence using the frame pointer to link the two stacks breaks the stack unwinders that find a random value instead of a return address here. There is no workaround that can work in every case. We are using the fixup_bp_irq_link() function to dereference that abused frame pointer in the case of non nesting interrupt (which means stack changed). But that doesn't fix the case of interrupts that don't change the stack (but we still have the unconditional frame link), which is the case of hardirq interrupting softirq. We have no way to detect this transition so the frame irq link is considered as a real frame pointer and the return address is dereferenced but it is still a spurious one. There are two possible results of this: either the spurious return address, a random stack value, luckily belongs to the kernel text and then the unwinding can continue and we just have a weird entry in the stack trace. Or it doesn't belong to the kernel text and unwinding stops there. This is the reason why stacktraces (including perf callchains) on irqs that interrupted softirqs don't work very well. To solve this, we don't save the old stack pointer on rbp anymore but we save it to a scratch register that we push on the new stack and that we pop back later on irq return. This preserves the whole frame chain without spurious return addresses in the middle and drops the need for the horrid fixup_bp_irq_link() workaround. And finally irqs that interrupt softirq are sanely unwinded.

The graphs show how much time is spent outside of the program as a function of the measured delay. The area under the graph represents the total time spent outside the program. Eight instances of the rdtsctest were started, each pinned to a single cpu. The histogams are added. For each kernel two measurements were done: one in mostly idle condition, the other while running "bonnie++ -f", bound to cpu 0. Each measurement took 40 minutes runtime. See the attached graphs for the results. The graphs overlap almost everywhere, but there are small differences.

x86: ptrace: sysret path should reach syscall_trace_leave If TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE or TIF_SINGLESTEP is set while inside a syscall, the path back to user mode should get to syscall_trace_leave. This does happen in most circumstances. The exception to this is on the 64-bit syscall fastpath, when no such flag was set on syscall entry and nothing else has punted it off the fastpath for exit. That one exit fastpath fails to check for _TIF_WORK_SYSCALL_EXIT flags. This makes the behavior inconsistent with what 32-bit tasks see and what the native 32-bit kernel always does, and what 64-bit tasks see in all cases where the iret path is taken anyhow. Perhaps the only example that is affected is a ptrace stop inside do_fork (for PTRACE_O_TRACE{CLONE,FORK,VFORK,VFORKDONE}). Other syscalls with internal ptrace stop points (execve) already take the iret exit path for unrelated reasons. Test cases for both PTRACE_SYSCALL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP variants are at: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/syscall-from-clone.c?cvsroot=systemtap http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/step-from-clone.c?cvsroot=systemtap There was no special benefit to the sysret path's special path to call do_notify_resume, because it always takes the iret exit path at the end. So this change just makes the sysret exit path join the iret exit path for all the signals and ptrace cases. The fastpath still applies to the plain syscall-audit and resched cases.

Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.h The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was. Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating success or failure. This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall. The fix is to fix the layering foolishness. We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to determine if the syscall was a success or failure. We also define a generic is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the value is < -MAX_ERRNO. This works for arches like x86 which do not use a separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure. We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines instead of macros. The reason is because the audit function must take a void* for the regs. (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs). Since the audit function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the arch correct structure to dereference it. The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure. THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs. In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old audit code as the return value. But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro regs_return_value() as regs[3]. I have no idea which one is correct, but this patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3]. For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3]. regs->gprs[3] is always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative before calling the audit code when appropriate.

x86_64: fix delayed signals On three of the several paths in entry_64.S that call do_notify_resume() on the way back to user mode, we fail to properly check again for newly-arrived work that requires another call to do_notify_resume() before going to user mode. These paths set the mask to check only _TIF_NEED_RESCHED, but this is wrong. The other paths that lead to do_notify_resume() do this correctly already, and entry_32.S does it correctly in all cases. All paths back to user mode have to check all the _TIF_WORK_MASK flags at the last possible stage, with interrupts disabled. Otherwise, we miss any flags (TIF_SIGPENDING for example) that were set any time after we entered do_notify_resume(). More work flags can be set (or left set) synchronously inside do_notify_resume(), as TIF_SIGPENDING can be, or asynchronously by interrupts or other CPUs (which then send an asynchronous interrupt). There are many different scenarios that could hit this bug, most of them races. The simplest one to demonstrate does not require any race: when one signal has done handler setup at the check before returning from a syscall, and there is another signal pending that should be handled. The second signal's handler should interrupt the first signal handler before it actually starts (so the interrupted PC is still at the handler's entry point). Instead, it runs away until the next kernel entry (next syscall, tick, etc). This test behaves correctly on 32-bit kernels, and fails on 64-bit (either 32-bit or 64-bit test binary). With this fix, it works. #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> #include <signal.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/ucontext.h> #ifndef REG_RIP #define REG_RIP REG_EIP #endif static sig_atomic_t hit1, hit2; static void handler (int sig, siginfo_t *info, void *ctx) { ucontext_t *uc = ctx; if ((void *) uc->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_RIP] == &handler) { if (sig == SIGUSR1) hit1 = 1; else hit2 = 1; } printf ("%s at %#lx\n", strsignal (sig), uc->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_RIP]); } int main (void) { struct sigaction sa; sigset_t set; sigemptyset (&sa.sa_mask); sa.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO; sa.sa_sigaction = &handler; if (sigaction (SIGUSR1, &sa, NULL) || sigaction (SIGUSR2, &sa, NULL)) return 2; sigemptyset (&set); sigaddset (&set, SIGUSR1); sigaddset (&set, SIGUSR2); if (sigprocmask (SIG_BLOCK, &set, NULL)) return 3; printf ("main at %p, handler at %p\n", &main, &handler); raise (SIGUSR1); raise (SIGUSR2); if (sigprocmask (SIG_UNBLOCK, &set, NULL)) return 4; if (hit1 + hit2 == 1) { puts ("PASS"); return 0; } puts ("FAIL"); return 1; } Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

x86: move entry_64.S register saving out of the macros Here is a combined patch that moves "save_args" out-of-line for the interrupt macro and moves "error_entry" mostly out-of-line for the zeroentry and errorentry macros. The save_args function becomes really straightforward and easy to understand, with the possible exception of the stack switch code, which now needs to copy the return address of to the calling function. Normal interrupts arrive with ((~vector)-0x80) on the stack, which gets adjusted in common_interrupt: <common_interrupt>: (5) addq $0xffffffffffffff80,(%rsp) /* -> ~(vector) */ (4) sub $0x50,%rsp /* space for registers */ (5) callq ffffffff80211290 <save_args> (5) callq ffffffff80214290 <do_IRQ> <ret_from_intr>: ...

But the total space savings due to this patch is about 2500 bytes on an smp-configuration, and I think the code is clearer than it was before. The tested kernels were non-paravirt ones (i.e., without the indirect call at the top of the exception handlers). Anyhow, I tested this patch on top of a recent -tip. The machine was an 2x4-core Xeon at 2333MHz. Measured where the delays between (almost-)adjacent rdtsc instructions. The graphs show how much time is spent outside of the program as a function of the measured delay. The area under the graph represents the total time spent outside the program. Eight instances of the rdtsctest were started, each pinned to a single cpu. The histogams are added. For each kernel two measurements were done: one in mostly idle condition, the other while running "bonnie++ -f", bound to cpu 0. Each measurement took 40 minutes runtime. See the attached graphs for the results. The graphs overlap almost everywhere, but there are small differences.

x86: Don't use frame pointer to save old stack on irq entry rbp is used in SAVE_ARGS_IRQ to save the old stack pointer in order to restore it later in ret_from_intr. It is convenient because we save its value in the irq regs and it's easily restored using the leave instruction. However this is a kind of abuse of the frame pointer which role is to help unwinding the kernel by chaining frames together, each node following the return address to the previous frame. But although we are breaking the frame by changing the stack pointer, there is no preceding return address before the new frame. Hence using the frame pointer to link the two stacks breaks the stack unwinders that find a random value instead of a return address here. There is no workaround that can work in every case. We are using the fixup_bp_irq_link() function to dereference that abused frame pointer in the case of non nesting interrupt (which means stack changed). But that doesn't fix the case of interrupts that don't change the stack (but we still have the unconditional frame link), which is the case of hardirq interrupting softirq. We have no way to detect this transition so the frame irq link is considered as a real frame pointer and the return address is dereferenced but it is still a spurious one. There are two possible results of this: either the spurious return address, a random stack value, luckily belongs to the kernel text and then the unwinding can continue and we just have a weird entry in the stack trace. Or it doesn't belong to the kernel text and unwinding stops there. This is the reason why stacktraces (including perf callchains) on irqs that interrupted softirqs don't work very well. To solve this, we don't save the old stack pointer on rbp anymore but we save it to a scratch register that we push on the new stack and that we pop back later on irq return. This preserves the whole frame chain without spurious return addresses in the middle and drops the need for the horrid fixup_bp_irq_link() workaround. And finally irqs that interrupt softirq are sanely unwinded.

x86_64: fix delayed signals On three of the several paths in entry_64.S that call do_notify_resume() on the way back to user mode, we fail to properly check again for newly-arrived work that requires another call to do_notify_resume() before going to user mode. These paths set the mask to check only _TIF_NEED_RESCHED, but this is wrong. The other paths that lead to do_notify_resume() do this correctly already, and entry_32.S does it correctly in all cases. All paths back to user mode have to check all the _TIF_WORK_MASK flags at the last possible stage, with interrupts disabled. Otherwise, we miss any flags (TIF_SIGPENDING for example) that were set any time after we entered do_notify_resume(). More work flags can be set (or left set) synchronously inside do_notify_resume(), as TIF_SIGPENDING can be, or asynchronously by interrupts or other CPUs (which then send an asynchronous interrupt). There are many different scenarios that could hit this bug, most of them races. The simplest one to demonstrate does not require any race: when one signal has done handler setup at the check before returning from a syscall, and there is another signal pending that should be handled. The second signal's handler should interrupt the first signal handler before it actually starts (so the interrupted PC is still at the handler's entry point). Instead, it runs away until the next kernel entry (next syscall, tick, etc). This test behaves correctly on 32-bit kernels, and fails on 64-bit (either 32-bit or 64-bit test binary). With this fix, it works. #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> #include <signal.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/ucontext.h> #ifndef REG_RIP #define REG_RIP REG_EIP #endif static sig_atomic_t hit1, hit2; static void handler (int sig, siginfo_t *info, void *ctx) { ucontext_t *uc = ctx; if ((void *) uc->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_RIP] == &handler) { if (sig == SIGUSR1) hit1 = 1; else hit2 = 1; } printf ("%s at %#lx\n", strsignal (sig), uc->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_RIP]); } int main (void) { struct sigaction sa; sigset_t set; sigemptyset (&sa.sa_mask); sa.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO; sa.sa_sigaction = &handler; if (sigaction (SIGUSR1, &sa, NULL) || sigaction (SIGUSR2, &sa, NULL)) return 2; sigemptyset (&set); sigaddset (&set, SIGUSR1); sigaddset (&set, SIGUSR2); if (sigprocmask (SIG_BLOCK, &set, NULL)) return 3; printf ("main at %p, handler at %p\n", &main, &handler); raise (SIGUSR1); raise (SIGUSR2); if (sigprocmask (SIG_UNBLOCK, &set, NULL)) return 4; if (hit1 + hit2 == 1) { puts ("PASS"); return 0; } puts ("FAIL"); return 1; } Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

x86, trace: Add irq vector tracepoints [Purpose of this patch] As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors are useful. http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html <snip> The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently running processes. There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space, which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events. The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state. <snip> On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and getting a value of instruction pointer. I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before. But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap. So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now. [Patch Description] Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events. But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events. In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events. So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit. so that we can enable them independently. - local_timer_vector - reschedule_vector - call_function_vector - call_function_single_vector - irq_work_entry_vector - error_apic_vector - thermal_apic_vector - threshold_apic_vector - spurious_apic_vector - x86_platform_ipi_vector Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows. - Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq(). - Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to _set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table. - Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers. - Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt(). This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons. - Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled. - On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging is disabled. In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being used for other purposes.

apicinterrupt3 REBOOT_VECTOR \
x86: fix panic with interrupts off (needed for MCE) For some time each panic() called with interrupts disabled triggered the !irqs_disabled() WARN_ON in smp_call_function(), producing ugly backtraces and confusing users. This is a common situation with machine checks for example which tend to call panic with interrupts disabled, but will also hit in other situations e.g. panic during early boot. In fact it means that panic cannot be called in many circumstances, which would be bad. This all started with the new fancy queued smp_call_function, which is then used by the shutdown path to shut down the other CPUs. On closer examination it turned out that the fancy RCU smp_call_function() does lots of things not suitable in a panic situation anyways, like allocating memory and relying on complex system state. I originally tried to patch this over by checking for panic there, but it was quite complicated and the original patch was also not very popular. This also didn't fix some of the underlying complexity problems. The new code in post 2.6.29 tries to patch around this by checking for oops_in_progress, but that is not enough to make this fully safe and I don't think that's a real solution because panic has to be reliable. So instead use an own vector to reboot. This makes the reboot code extremly straight forward, which is definitely a big plus in a panic situation where it is important to avoid relying on too much kernel state. The new simple code is also safe to be called from interupts off region because it is very very simple. There can be situations where it is important that panic is reliable. For example on a fatal machine check the panic is needed to get the system up again and running as quickly as possible. So it's important that panic is reliable and all function it calls simple. This is why I came up with this simple vector scheme. It's very hard to beat in simplicity. Vectors are not particularly precious anymore since all big systems are using per CPU vectors. Another possibility would have been to use an NMI similar to kdump, but there is still the problem that NMIs don't work reliably on some systems due to BIOS issues. NMIs would have been able to stop CPUs running with interrupts off too. In the sake of universal reliability I opted for using a non NMI vector for now. I put the reboot vector into the highest priority bucket of the APIC vectors and moved the 64bit UV_BAU message down instead into the next lower priority.

x86: move entry_64.S register saving out of the macros Here is a combined patch that moves "save_args" out-of-line for the interrupt macro and moves "error_entry" mostly out-of-line for the zeroentry and errorentry macros. The save_args function becomes really straightforward and easy to understand, with the possible exception of the stack switch code, which now needs to copy the return address of to the calling function.

ftrace/x86: Do not change stacks in DEBUG when calling lockdep When both DYNAMIC_FTRACE and LOCKDEP are set, the TRACE_IRQS_ON/OFF will call into the lockdep code. The lockdep code can call lots of functions that may be traced by ftrace. When ftrace is updating its code and hits a breakpoint, the breakpoint handler will call into lockdep. If lockdep happens to call a function that also has a breakpoint attached, it will jump back into the breakpoint handler resetting the stack to the debug stack and corrupt the contents currently on that stack. The 'do_sym' call that calls do_int3() is protected by modifying the IST table to point to a different location if another breakpoint is hit. But the TRACE_IRQS_OFF/ON are outside that protection, and if a breakpoint is hit from those, the stack will get corrupted, and the kernel will crash: [ 1013.243754] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000002 [ 1013.272665] IP: [<ffff880145cc0000>] 0xffff880145cbffff [ 1013.285186] PGD 1401b2067 PUD 14324c067 PMD 0 [ 1013.298832] Oops: 0010 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 1013.310600] CPU 2 [ 1013.317904] Modules linked in: ip6t_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv6 xt_state nf_conntrack ip6table_filter ip6_tables crc32c_intel ghash_clmulni_intel microcode usb_debug serio_raw pcspkr iTCO_wdt i2c_i801 iTCO_vendor_support e1000e nfsd nfs_acl auth_rpcgss lockd sunrpc i915 video i2c_algo_bit drm_kms_helper drm i2c_core [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] [ 1013.401848] [ 1013.407399] Pid: 112, comm: kworker/2:1 Not tainted 3.4.0+ #30 [ 1013.437943] RIP: 8eb8:[<ffff88014630a000>] [<ffff88014630a000>] 0xffff880146309fff [ 1013.459871] RSP: ffffffff8165e919:ffff88014780f408 EFLAGS: 00010046 [ 1013.477909] RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffffffff81104020 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 1013.499458] RDX: ffff880148008ea8 RSI: ffffffff8131ef40 RDI: ffffffff82203b20 [ 1013.521612] RBP: ffffffff81005751 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 1013.543121] R10: ffffffff82cdc318 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff880145cc0000 [ 1013.564614] R13: ffff880148008eb8 R14: 0000000000000002 R15: ffff88014780cb40 [ 1013.586108] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff880148000000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 1013.609458] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b [ 1013.627420] CR2: 0000000000000002 CR3: 0000000141f10000 CR4: 00000000001407e0 [ 1013.649051] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 1013.670724] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 1013.692376] Process kworker/2:1 (pid: 112, threadinfo ffff88013fe0e000, task ffff88014020a6a0) [ 1013.717028] Stack: [ 1013.724131] ffff88014780f570 ffff880145cc0000 0000400000004000 0000000000000000 [ 1013.745918] cccccccccccccccc ffff88014780cca8 ffffffff811072bb ffffffff81651627 [ 1013.767870] ffffffff8118f8a7 ffffffff811072bb ffffffff81f2b6c5 ffffffff81f11bdb [ 1013.790021] Call Trace: [ 1013.800701] Code: 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a <e7> d7 64 81 ff ff ff ff 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 65 d9 64 81 ff [ 1013.861443] RIP [<ffff88014630a000>] 0xffff880146309fff [ 1013.884466] RSP <ffff88014780f408> [ 1013.901507] CR2: 0000000000000002 The solution was to reuse the NMI functions that change the IDT table to make the debug stack keep its current stack (in kernel mode) when hitting a breakpoint: call debug_stack_set_zero TRACE_IRQS_ON call debug_stack_reset If the TRACE_IRQS_ON happens to hit a breakpoint then it will keep the current stack and not crash the box.

An apic interrupt stub now look like this: <thermal_interrupt>: (5) pushq $0xffffffffffffff05 /* ~(vector) */ (4) sub $0x50,%rsp /* space for registers */ (5) callq ffffffff80211290 <save_args> (5) callq ffffffff80212b8f <smp_thermal_interrupt> (5) jmpq ffffffff80211f93 <ret_from_intr> Similarly the exception handler register saving function becomes simpler, without the need of any parameter shuffling. The stub for an exception without errorcode looks like this: <overflow>: (6) callq *0x1cad12(%rip) # ffffffff803dd448 <pv_irq_ops+0x38> (2) pushq $0xffffffffffffffff /* no syscall */ (4) sub $0x78,%rsp /* space for registers */ (5) callq ffffffff8030e3b0 <error_entry> (3) mov %rsp,%rdi /* pt_regs pointer */ (2) xor %esi,%esi /* no error code */ (5) callq ffffffff80213446 <do_overflow> (5) jmpq ffffffff8030e460 <error_exit> And one for an exception with errorcode like this: <segment_not_present>: (6) callq *0x1cab92(%rip) # ffffffff803dd448 <pv_irq_ops+0x38> (4) sub $0x78,%rsp /* space for registers */ (5) callq ffffffff8030e3b0 <error_entry> (3) mov %rsp,%rdi /* pt_regs pointer */ (5) mov 0x78(%rsp),%rsi /* load error code */ (9) movq $0xffffffffffffffff,0x78(%rsp) /* no syscall */ (5) callq ffffffff80213209 <do_segment_not_present> (5) jmpq ffffffff8030e460 <error_exit> Unfortunately, this last type is more than 32 bytes. But the total space savings due to this patch is about 2500 bytes on an smp-configuration, and I think the code is clearer than it was before. The tested kernels were non-paravirt ones (i.e., without the indirect call at the top of the exception handlers). Anyhow, I tested this patch on top of a recent -tip. The machine was an 2x4-core Xeon at 2333MHz. Measured where the delays between (almost-)adjacent rdtsc instructions. The graphs show how much time is spent outside of the program as a function of the measured delay. The area under the graph represents the total time spent outside the program. Eight instances of the rdtsctest were started, each pinned to a single cpu. The histogams are added. For each kernel two measurements were done: one in mostly idle condition, the other while running "bonnie++ -f", bound to cpu 0. Each measurement took 40 minutes runtime. See the attached graphs for the results. The graphs overlap almost everywhere, but there are small differences.

x86-64: Emulate legacy vsyscalls There's a fair amount of code in the vsyscall page. It contains a syscall instruction (in the gettimeofday fallback) and who knows what will happen if an exploit jumps into the middle of some other code. Reduce the risk by replacing the vsyscalls with short magic incantations that cause the kernel to emulate the real vsyscalls. These incantations are useless if entered in the middle. This causes vsyscalls to be a little more expensive than real syscalls. Fortunately sensible programs don't use them. The only exception is time() which is still called by glibc through the vsyscall - but calling time() millions of times per second is not sensible. glibc has this fixed in the development tree. This patch is not perfect: the vread_tsc and vread_hpet functions are still at a fixed address. Fixing that might involve making alternative patching work in the vDSO.

x86, binutils, xen: Fix another wrong size directive The latest binutils (2.21.0.20110302/Ubuntu) breaks the build yet another time, under CONFIG_XEN=y due to a .size directive that refers to a slightly differently named (hence, to the now very strict and unforgiving assembler, non-existent) symbol. [ mingo: This unnecessary build breakage caused by new binutils version 2.21 gets escallated back several kernel releases spanning several years of Linux history, affecting over 130,000 upstream kernel commits (!), on CONFIG_XEN=y 64-bit kernels (i.e. essentially affecting all major Linux distro kernel configs). Git annotate tells us that this slight debug symbol code mismatch bug has been introduced in 2008 in commit 3d75e1b8: 3d75e1b8 (Jeremy Fitzhardinge 2008-07-08 15:06:49 -0700 1231) ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback) # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs) The 'bug' is just a slight assymetry in ENTRY()/END() debug-symbols sequences, with lots of assembly code between the ENTRY() and the END(): ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback) # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs) ... END(do_hypervisor_callback) Human reviewers almost never catch such small mismatches, and binutils never even warned about it either. This new binutils version thus breaks the Xen build on all upstream kernels since v2.6.27, out of the blue. This makes a straightforward Git bisection of all 64-bit Xen-enabled kernels impossible on such binutils, for a bisection window of over hundred thousand historic commits. (!) This is a major fail on the side of binutils and binutils needs to turn this show-stopper build failure into a warning ASAP. ] Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Cc: H.J.

xen/x86: don't corrupt %eip when returning from a signal handler In 32 bit guests, if a userspace process has %eax == -ERESTARTSYS (-512) or -ERESTARTNOINTR (-513) when it is interrupted by an event /and/ the process has a pending signal then %eip (and %eax) are corrupted when returning to the main process after handling the signal. The application may then crash with SIGSEGV or a SIGILL or it may have subtly incorrect behaviour (depending on what instruction it returned to). The occurs because handle_signal() is incorrectly thinking that there is a system call that needs to restarted so it adjusts %eip and %eax to re-execute the system call instruction (even though user space had not done a system call). If %eax == -514 (-ERESTARTNOHAND (-514) or -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK (-516) then handle_signal() only corrupted %eax (by setting it to -EINTR). This may cause the application to crash or have incorrect behaviour. handle_signal() assumes that regs->orig_ax >= 0 means a system call so any kernel entry point that is not for a system call must push a negative value for orig_ax. For example, for physical interrupts on bare metal the inverse of the vector is pushed and page_fault() sets regs->orig_ax to -1, overwriting the hardware provided error code. xen_hypervisor_callback() was incorrectly pushing 0 for orig_ax instead of -1. Classic Xen kernels pushed %eax which works as %eax cannot be both non-negative and -RESTARTSYS (etc.), but using -1 is consistent with other non-system call entry points and avoids some of the tests in handle_signal(). There were similar bugs in xen_failsafe_callback() of both 32 and 64-bit guests. If the fault was corrected and the normal return path was used then 0 was incorrectly pushed as the value for orig_ax.

x86, trace: Add irq vector tracepoints [Purpose of this patch] As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors are useful. http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html <snip> The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently running processes. There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space, which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events. The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state. <snip> On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and getting a value of instruction pointer. I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before. But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap. So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now. [Patch Description] Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events. But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events. In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events. So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit. so that we can enable them independently. - local_timer_vector - reschedule_vector - call_function_vector - call_function_single_vector - irq_work_entry_vector - error_apic_vector - thermal_apic_vector - threshold_apic_vector - spurious_apic_vector - x86_platform_ipi_vector Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows. - Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq(). - Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to _set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table. - Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers. - Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt(). This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons. - Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled. - On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging is disabled. In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being used for other purposes.

ftrace/x86: Do not change stacks in DEBUG when calling lockdep When both DYNAMIC_FTRACE and LOCKDEP are set, the TRACE_IRQS_ON/OFF will call into the lockdep code. The lockdep code can call lots of functions that may be traced by ftrace. When ftrace is updating its code and hits a breakpoint, the breakpoint handler will call into lockdep.

x86: Add workaround to NMI iret woes In x86, when an NMI goes off, the CPU goes into an NMI context that prevents other NMIs to trigger on that CPU. If an NMI is suppose to trigger, it has to wait till the previous NMI leaves NMI context. At that time, the next NMI can trigger (note, only one more NMI will trigger, as only one can be latched at a time). The way x86 gets out of NMI context is by calling iret. The problem with this is that this causes problems if the NMI handle either triggers an exception, or a breakpoint. Both the exception and the breakpoint handlers will finish with an iret. If this happens while in NMI context, the CPU will leave NMI context and a new NMI may come in. As NMI handlers are not made to be re-entrant, this can cause havoc with the system, not to mention, the nested NMI will write all over the previous NMI's stack. Linus Torvalds proposed the following workaround to this problem: https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/14/264 "In fact, I wonder if we couldn't just do a software NMI disable instead? Hav ea per-cpu variable (in the _core_ percpu areas that get allocated statically) that points to the NMI stack frame, and just make the NMI code itself do something like NMI entry: - load percpu NMI stack frame pointer - if non-zero we know we're nested, and should ignore this NMI: - we're returning to kernel mode, so return immediately by using "popf/ret", which also keeps NMI's disabled in the hardware until the "real" NMI iret happens. - before the popf/iret, use the NMI stack pointer to make the NMI return stack be invalid and cause a fault - set the NMI stack pointer to the current stack pointer NMI exit (not the above "immediate exit because we nested"): clear the percpu NMI stack pointer Just do the iret. Now, the thing is, now the "iret" is atomic. If we had a nested NMI, we'll take a fault, and that re-does our "delayed" NMI - and NMI's will stay masked. And if we didn't have a nested NMI, that iret will now unmask NMI's, and everything is happy." I first tried to follow this advice but as I started implementing this code, a few gotchas showed up. One, is accessing per-cpu variables in the NMI handler. The problem is that per-cpu variables use the %gs register to get the variable for the given CPU. But as the NMI may happen in userspace, we must first perform a SWAPGS to get to it. The NMI handler already does this later in the code, but its too late as we have saved off all the registers and we don't want to do that for a disabled NMI. Peter Zijlstra suggested to keep all variables on the stack. This simplifies things greatly and it has the added benefit of cache locality. Two, faulting on the iret. I really wanted to make this work, but it was becoming very hacky, and I never got it to be stable. The iret already had a fault handler for userspace faulting with bad segment registers, and getting NMI to trigger a fault and detect it was very tricky. But for strange reasons, the system would usually take a double fault and crash. I never figured out why and decided to go with a simple "jmp" approach. The new approach I took also simplified things. Finally, the last problem with Linus's approach was to have the nested NMI handler do a ret instead of an iret to give the first NMI NMI-context again. The problem is that ret is much more limited than an iret. I couldn't figure out how to get the stack back where it belonged. I could have copied the current stack, pushed the return onto it, but my fear here is that there may be some place that writes data below the stack pointer. I know that is not something code should depend on, but I don't want to chance it. I may add this feature later, but for now, an NMI handler that loses NMI context will not get it back. Here's what is done: When an NMI comes in, the HW pushes the interrupt stack frame onto the per cpu NMI stack that is selected by the IST. A special location on the NMI stack holds a variable that is set when the first NMI handler runs. If this variable is set then we know that this is a nested NMI and we process the nested NMI code. There is still a race when this variable is cleared and an NMI comes in just before the first NMI does the return. For this case, if the variable is cleared, we also check if the interrupted stack is the NMI stack. If it is, then we process the nested NMI code. Why the two tests and not just test the interrupted stack? If the first NMI hits a breakpoint and loses NMI context, and then it hits another breakpoint and while processing that breakpoint we get a nested NMI. When processing a breakpoint, the stack changes to the breakpoint stack. If another NMI comes in here we can't rely on the interrupted stack to be the NMI stack. If the variable is not set and the interrupted task's stack is not the NMI stack, then we know this is the first NMI and we can process things normally. But in order to do so, we need to do a few things first. 1) Set the stack variable that tells us that we are in an NMI handler 2) Make two copies of the interrupt stack frame. One copy is used to return on iret The other is used to restore the first one if we have a nested NMI. This is what the stack will look like: +-------------------------+ | original SS | | original Return RSP | | original RFLAGS | | original CS | | original RIP | +-------------------------+ | temp storage for rdx | +-------------------------+ | NMI executing variable | +-------------------------+ | Saved SS | | Saved Return RSP | | Saved RFLAGS | | Saved CS | | Saved RIP | +-------------------------+ | copied SS | | copied Return RSP | | copied RFLAGS | | copied CS | | copied RIP | +-------------------------+ | pt_regs | +-------------------------+ The original stack frame contains what the HW put in when we entered the NMI. We store %rdx as a temp variable to use. Both the original HW stack frame and this %rdx storage will be clobbered by nested NMIs so we can not rely on them later in the first NMI handler. The next item is the special stack variable that is set when we execute the rest of the NMI handler. Then we have two copies of the interrupt stack. The second copy is modified by any nested NMIs to let the first NMI know that we triggered a second NMI (latched) and that we should repeat the NMI handler. If the first NMI hits an exception or breakpoint that takes it out of NMI context, if a second NMI comes in before the first one finishes, it will update the copied interrupt stack to point to a fix up location to trigger another NMI. When the first NMI calls iret, it will instead jump to the fix up location. This fix up location will copy the saved interrupt stack back to the copy and execute the nmi handler again. Note, the nested NMI knows enough to check if it preempted a previous NMI handler while it is in the fixup location. If it has, it will not modify the copied interrupt stack and will just leave as if nothing happened. As the NMI handle is about to execute again, there's no reason to latch now. To test all this, I forced the NMI handler to call iret and take itself out of NMI context. I also added assemble code to write to the serial to make sure that it hits the nested path as well as the fix up path. Everything seems to be working fine.

I really wanted to make this work, but it was becoming very hacky, and I never got it to be stable. The iret already had a fault handler for userspace faulting with bad segment registers, and getting NMI to trigger a fault and detect it was very tricky. But for strange reasons, the system would usually take a double fault and crash. I never figured out why and decided to go with a simple "jmp" approach. The new approach I took also simplified things. Finally, the last problem with Linus's approach was to have the nested NMI handler do a ret instead of an iret to give the first NMI NMI-context again. The problem is that ret is much more limited than an iret. I couldn't figure out how to get the stack back where it belonged. I could have copied the current stack, pushed the return onto it, but my fear here is that there may be some place that writes data below the stack pointer. I know that is not something code should depend on, but I don't want to chance it. I may add this feature later, but for now, an NMI handler that loses NMI context will not get it back. Here's what is done: When an NMI comes in, the HW pushes the interrupt stack frame onto the per cpu NMI stack that is selected by the IST. A special location on the NMI stack holds a variable that is set when the first NMI handler runs. If this variable is set then we know that this is a nested NMI and we process the nested NMI code. There is still a race when this variable is cleared and an NMI comes in just before the first NMI does the return. For this case, if the variable is cleared, we also check if the interrupted stack is the NMI stack. If it is, then we process the nested NMI code. Why the two tests and not just test the interrupted stack? If the first NMI hits a breakpoint and loses NMI context, and then it hits another breakpoint and while processing that breakpoint we get a nested NMI. When processing a breakpoint, the stack changes to the breakpoint stack. If another NMI comes in here we can't rely on the interrupted stack to be the NMI stack. If the variable is not set and the interrupted task's stack is not the NMI stack, then we know this is the first NMI and we can process things normally. But in order to do so, we need to do a few things first. 1) Set the stack variable that tells us that we are in an NMI handler 2) Make two copies of the interrupt stack frame. One copy is used to return on iret The other is used to restore the first one if we have a nested NMI. This is what the stack will look like: +-------------------------+ | original SS | | original Return RSP | | original RFLAGS | | original CS | | original RIP | +-------------------------+ | temp storage for rdx | +-------------------------+ | NMI executing variable | +-------------------------+ | Saved SS | | Saved Return RSP | | Saved RFLAGS | | Saved CS | | Saved RIP | +-------------------------+ | copied SS | | copied Return RSP | | copied RFLAGS | | copied CS | | copied RIP | +-------------------------+ | pt_regs | +-------------------------+ The original stack frame contains what the HW put in when we entered the NMI. We store %rdx as a temp variable to use. Both the original HW stack frame and this %rdx storage will be clobbered by nested NMIs so we can not rely on them later in the first NMI handler. The next item is the special stack variable that is set when we execute the rest of the NMI handler. Then we have two copies of the interrupt stack. The second copy is modified by any nested NMIs to let the first NMI know that we triggered a second NMI (latched) and that we should repeat the NMI handler. If the first NMI hits an exception or breakpoint that takes it out of NMI context, if a second NMI comes in before the first one finishes, it will update the copied interrupt stack to point to a fix up location to trigger another NMI. When the first NMI calls iret, it will instead jump to the fix up location. This fix up location will copy the saved interrupt stack back to the copy and execute the nmi handler again. Note, the nested NMI knows enough to check if it preempted a previous NMI handler while it is in the fixup location. If it has, it will not modify the copied interrupt stack and will just leave as if nothing happened. As the NMI handle is about to execute again, there's no reason to latch now. To test all this, I forced the NMI handler to call iret and take itself out of NMI context. I also added assemble code to write to the serial to make sure that it hits the nested path as well as the fix up path. Everything seems to be working fine.

/*
* We allow breakpoints in NMIs. If a breakpoint occurs, then

* This means that we can have nested NMIs where the next

*
* To handle this case we do the following:
* Check the a special location on the stack that contains
* a variable that is set when NMIs are executing.
* The interrupted task's stack is also checked to see if it

* If the variable is not set and the stack is not the NMI

* o Set the special variable on the stack
* o Copy the interrupt frame into a "saved" location on the stack
* o Copy the interrupt frame into a "copy" location on the stack
* o Continue processing the NMI
* If the variable is set or the previous stack is the NMI stack:
* o Modify the "copy" location to jump to the repeate_nmi
* o return back to the first NMI
*
* Now on exit of the first NMI, we first clear the stack variable
* The NMI stack will tell any nested NMIs at that point that it is

x86: Add workaround to NMI iret woes In x86, when an NMI goes off, the CPU goes into an NMI context that prevents other NMIs to trigger on that CPU. If an NMI is suppose to trigger, it has to wait till the previous NMI leaves NMI context. At that time, the next NMI can trigger (note, only one more NMI will trigger, as only one can be latched at a time). The way x86 gets out of NMI context is by calling iret. The problem with this is that this causes problems if the NMI handle either triggers an exception, or a breakpoint. Both the exception and the breakpoint handlers will finish with an iret. If this happens while in NMI context, the CPU will leave NMI context and a new NMI may come in. As NMI handlers are not made to be re-entrant, this can cause havoc with the system, not to mention, the nested NMI will write all over the previous NMI's stack. Linus Torvalds proposed the following workaround to this problem: https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/14/264 "In fact, I wonder if we couldn't just do a software NMI disable instead? Hav ea per-cpu variable (in the _core_ percpu areas that get allocated statically) that points to the NMI stack frame, and just make the NMI code itself do something like NMI entry: - load percpu NMI stack frame pointer - if non-zero we know we're nested, and should ignore this NMI: - we're returning to kernel mode, so return immediately by using "popf/ret", which also keeps NMI's disabled in the hardware until the "real" NMI iret happens. - before the popf/iret, use the NMI stack pointer to make the NMI return stack be invalid and cause a fault - set the NMI stack pointer to the current stack pointer NMI exit (not the above "immediate exit because we nested"): clear the percpu NMI stack pointer Just do the iret. Now, the thing is, now the "iret" is atomic. If we had a nested NMI, we'll take a fault, and that re-does our "delayed" NMI - and NMI's will stay masked. And if we didn't have a nested NMI, that iret will now unmask NMI's, and everything is happy." I first tried to follow this advice but as I started implementing this code, a few gotchas showed up. One, is accessing per-cpu variables in the NMI handler. The problem is that per-cpu variables use the %gs register to get the variable for the given CPU. But as the NMI may happen in userspace, we must first perform a SWAPGS to get to it. The NMI handler already does this later in the code, but its too late as we have saved off all the registers and we don't want to do that for a disabled NMI.

As NMI handlers are not made to be re-entrant, this can cause havoc with the system, not to mention, the nested NMI will write all over the previous NMI's stack. Linus Torvalds proposed the following workaround to this problem: https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/14/264 "In fact, I wonder if we couldn't just do a software NMI disable instead? Hav ea per-cpu variable (in the _core_ percpu areas that get allocated statically) that points to the NMI stack frame, and just make the NMI code itself do something like NMI entry: - load percpu NMI stack frame pointer - if non-zero we know we're nested, and should ignore this NMI: - we're returning to kernel mode, so return immediately by using "popf/ret", which also keeps NMI's disabled in the hardware until the "real" NMI iret happens. - before the popf/iret, use the NMI stack pointer to make the NMI return stack be invalid and cause a fault - set the NMI stack pointer to the current stack pointer NMI exit (not the above "immediate exit because we nested"): clear the percpu NMI stack pointer Just do the iret. Now, the thing is, now the "iret" is atomic. If we had a nested NMI, we'll take a fault, and that re-does our "delayed" NMI - and NMI's will stay masked. And if we didn't have a nested NMI, that iret will now unmask NMI's, and everything is happy." I first tried to follow this advice but as I started implementing this code, a few gotchas showed up. One, is accessing per-cpu variables in the NMI handler. The problem is that per-cpu variables use the %gs register to get the variable for the given CPU. But as the NMI may happen in userspace, we must first perform a SWAPGS to get to it. The NMI handler already does this later in the code, but its too late as we have saved off all the registers and we don't want to do that for a disabled NMI. Peter Zijlstra suggested to keep all variables on the stack. This simplifies things greatly and it has the added benefit of cache locality. Two, faulting on the iret. I really wanted to make this work, but it was becoming very hacky, and I never got it to be stable. The iret already had a fault handler for userspace faulting with bad segment registers, and getting NMI to trigger a fault and detect it was very tricky. But for strange reasons, the system would usually take a double fault and crash. I never figured out why and decided to go with a simple "jmp" approach. The new approach I took also simplified things. Finally, the last problem with Linus's approach was to have the nested NMI handler do a ret instead of an iret to give the first NMI NMI-context again. The problem is that ret is much more limited than an iret. I couldn't figure out how to get the stack back where it belonged. I could have copied the current stack, pushed the return onto it, but my fear here is that there may be some place that writes data below the stack pointer. I know that is not something code should depend on, but I don't want to chance it. I may add this feature later, but for now, an NMI handler that loses NMI context will not get it back. Here's what is done: When an NMI comes in, the HW pushes the interrupt stack frame onto the per cpu NMI stack that is selected by the IST. A special location on the NMI stack holds a variable that is set when the first NMI handler runs. If this variable is set then we know that this is a nested NMI and we process the nested NMI code. There is still a race when this variable is cleared and an NMI comes in just before the first NMI does the return. For this case, if the variable is cleared, we also check if the interrupted stack is the NMI stack. If it is, then we process the nested NMI code. Why the two tests and not just test the interrupted stack? If the first NMI hits a breakpoint and loses NMI context, and then it hits another breakpoint and while processing that breakpoint we get a nested NMI. When processing a breakpoint, the stack changes to the breakpoint stack. If another NMI comes in here we can't rely on the interrupted stack to be the NMI stack. If the variable is not set and the interrupted task's stack is not the NMI stack, then we know this is the first NMI and we can process things normally. But in order to do so, we need to do a few things first. 1) Set the stack variable that tells us that we are in an NMI handler 2) Make two copies of the interrupt stack frame. One copy is used to return on iret The other is used to restore the first one if we have a nested NMI. This is what the stack will look like: +-------------------------+ | original SS | | original Return RSP | | original RFLAGS | | original CS | | original RIP | +-------------------------+ | temp storage for rdx | +-------------------------+ | NMI executing variable | +-------------------------+ | Saved SS | | Saved Return RSP | | Saved RFLAGS | | Saved CS | | Saved RIP | +-------------------------+ | copied SS | | copied Return RSP | | copied RFLAGS | | copied CS | | copied RIP | +-------------------------+ | pt_regs | +-------------------------+ The original stack frame contains what the HW put in when we entered the NMI. We store %rdx as a temp variable to use. Both the original HW stack frame and this %rdx storage will be clobbered by nested NMIs so we can not rely on them later in the first NMI handler. The next item is the special stack variable that is set when we execute the rest of the NMI handler. Then we have two copies of the interrupt stack. The second copy is modified by any nested NMIs to let the first NMI know that we triggered a second NMI (latched) and that we should repeat the NMI handler. If the first NMI hits an exception or breakpoint that takes it out of NMI context, if a second NMI comes in before the first one finishes, it will update the copied interrupt stack to point to a fix up location to trigger another NMI. When the first NMI calls iret, it will instead jump to the fix up location. This fix up location will copy the saved interrupt stack back to the copy and execute the nmi handler again. Note, the nested NMI knows enough to check if it preempted a previous NMI handler while it is in the fixup location. If it has, it will not modify the copied interrupt stack and will just leave as if nothing happened. As the NMI handle is about to execute again, there's no reason to latch now. To test all this, I forced the NMI handler to call iret and take itself out of NMI context. I also added assemble code to write to the serial to make sure that it hits the nested path as well as the fix up path. Everything seems to be working fine.

x86: Add workaround to NMI iret woes In x86, when an NMI goes off, the CPU goes into an NMI context that prevents other NMIs to trigger on that CPU. If an NMI is suppose to trigger, it has to wait till the previous NMI leaves NMI context. At that time, the next NMI can trigger (note, only one more NMI will trigger, as only one can be latched at a time). The way x86 gets out of NMI context is by calling iret. The problem with this is that this causes problems if the NMI handle either triggers an exception, or a breakpoint. Both the exception and the breakpoint handlers will finish with an iret. If this happens while in NMI context, the CPU will leave NMI context and a new NMI may come in.

If an NMI is suppose to trigger, it has to wait till the previous NMI leaves NMI context. At that time, the next NMI can trigger (note, only one more NMI will trigger, as only one can be latched at a time). The way x86 gets out of NMI context is by calling iret. The problem with this is that this causes problems if the NMI handle either triggers an exception, or a breakpoint. Both the exception and the breakpoint handlers will finish with an iret. If this happens while in NMI context, the CPU will leave NMI context and a new NMI may come in. As NMI handlers are not made to be re-entrant, this can cause havoc with the system, not to mention, the nested NMI will write all over the previous NMI's stack. Linus Torvalds proposed the following workaround to this problem: https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/14/264 "In fact, I wonder if we couldn't just do a software NMI disable instead? Hav ea per-cpu variable (in the _core_ percpu areas that get allocated statically) that points to the NMI stack frame, and just make the NMI code itself do something like NMI entry: - load percpu NMI stack frame pointer - if non-zero we know we're nested, and should ignore this NMI: - we're returning to kernel mode, so return immediately by using "popf/ret", which also keeps NMI's disabled in the hardware until the "real" NMI iret happens. - before the popf/iret, use the NMI stack pointer to make the NMI return stack be invalid and cause a fault - set the NMI stack pointer to the current stack pointer NMI exit (not the above "immediate exit because we nested"): clear the percpu NMI stack pointer Just do the iret. Now, the thing is, now the "iret" is atomic. If we had a nested NMI, we'll take a fault, and that re-does our "delayed" NMI - and NMI's will stay masked. And if we didn't have a nested NMI, that iret will now unmask NMI's, and everything is happy." I first tried to follow this advice but as I started implementing this code, a few gotchas showed up. One, is accessing per-cpu variables in the NMI handler. The problem is that per-cpu variables use the %gs register to get the variable for the given CPU. But as the NMI may happen in userspace, we must first perform a SWAPGS to get to it. The NMI handler already does this later in the code, but its too late as we have saved off all the registers and we don't want to do that for a disabled NMI. Peter Zijlstra suggested to keep all variables on the stack. This simplifies things greatly and it has the added benefit of cache locality. Two, faulting on the iret. I really wanted to make this work, but it was becoming very hacky, and I never got it to be stable. The iret already had a fault handler for userspace faulting with bad segment registers, and getting NMI to trigger a fault and detect it was very tricky. But for strange reasons, the system would usually take a double fault and crash. I never figured out why and decided to go with a simple "jmp" approach. The new approach I took also simplified things. Finally, the last problem with Linus's approach was to have the nested NMI handler do a ret instead of an iret to give the first NMI NMI-context again. The problem is that ret is much more limited than an iret. I couldn't figure out how to get the stack back where it belonged. I could have copied the current stack, pushed the return onto it, but my fear here is that there may be some place that writes data below the stack pointer. I know that is not something code should depend on, but I don't want to chance it. I may add this feature later, but for now, an NMI handler that loses NMI context will not get it back. Here's what is done: When an NMI comes in, the HW pushes the interrupt stack frame onto the per cpu NMI stack that is selected by the IST. A special location on the NMI stack holds a variable that is set when the first NMI handler runs. If this variable is set then we know that this is a nested NMI and we process the nested NMI code. There is still a race when this variable is cleared and an NMI comes in just before the first NMI does the return. For this case, if the variable is cleared, we also check if the interrupted stack is the NMI stack. If it is, then we process the nested NMI code. Why the two tests and not just test the interrupted stack? If the first NMI hits a breakpoint and loses NMI context, and then it hits another breakpoint and while processing that breakpoint we get a nested NMI. When processing a breakpoint, the stack changes to the breakpoint stack. If another NMI comes in here we can't rely on the interrupted stack to be the NMI stack. If the variable is not set and the interrupted task's stack is not the NMI stack, then we know this is the first NMI and we can process things normally. But in order to do so, we need to do a few things first. 1) Set the stack variable that tells us that we are in an NMI handler 2) Make two copies of the interrupt stack frame. One copy is used to return on iret The other is used to restore the first one if we have a nested NMI. This is what the stack will look like: +-------------------------+ | original SS | | original Return RSP | | original RFLAGS | | original CS | | original RIP | +-------------------------+ | temp storage for rdx | +-------------------------+ | NMI executing variable | +-------------------------+ | Saved SS | | Saved Return RSP | | Saved RFLAGS | | Saved CS | | Saved RIP | +-------------------------+ | copied SS | | copied Return RSP | | copied RFLAGS | | copied CS | | copied RIP | +-------------------------+ | pt_regs | +-------------------------+ The original stack frame contains what the HW put in when we entered the NMI. We store %rdx as a temp variable to use. Both the original HW stack frame and this %rdx storage will be clobbered by nested NMIs so we can not rely on them later in the first NMI handler. The next item is the special stack variable that is set when we execute the rest of the NMI handler. Then we have two copies of the interrupt stack. The second copy is modified by any nested NMIs to let the first NMI know that we triggered a second NMI (latched) and that we should repeat the NMI handler. If the first NMI hits an exception or breakpoint that takes it out of NMI context, if a second NMI comes in before the first one finishes, it will update the copied interrupt stack to point to a fix up location to trigger another NMI. When the first NMI calls iret, it will instead jump to the fix up location. This fix up location will copy the saved interrupt stack back to the copy and execute the nmi handler again. Note, the nested NMI knows enough to check if it preempted a previous NMI handler while it is in the fixup location. If it has, it will not modify the copied interrupt stack and will just leave as if nothing happened. As the NMI handle is about to execute again, there's no reason to latch now. To test all this, I forced the NMI handler to call iret and take itself out of NMI context. I also added assemble code to write to the serial to make sure that it hits the nested path as well as the fix up path. Everything seems to be working fine.

x86: Add workaround to NMI iret woes In x86, when an NMI goes off, the CPU goes into an NMI context that prevents other NMIs to trigger on that CPU. If an NMI is suppose to trigger, it has to wait till the previous NMI leaves NMI context. At that time, the next NMI can trigger (note, only one more NMI will trigger, as only one can be latched at a time). The way x86 gets out of NMI context is by calling iret. The problem with this is that this causes problems if the NMI handle either triggers an exception, or a breakpoint. Both the exception and the breakpoint handlers will finish with an iret. If this happens while in NMI context, the CPU will leave NMI context and a new NMI may come in. As NMI handlers are not made to be re-entrant, this can cause havoc with the system, not to mention, the nested NMI will write all over the previous NMI's stack. Linus Torvalds proposed the following workaround to this problem: https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/14/264 "In fact, I wonder if we couldn't just do a software NMI disable instead? Hav ea per-cpu variable (in the _core_ percpu areas that get allocated statically) that points to the NMI stack frame, and just make the NMI code itself do something like NMI entry: - load percpu NMI stack frame pointer - if non-zero we know we're nested, and should ignore this NMI: - we're returning to kernel mode, so return immediately by using "popf/ret", which also keeps NMI's disabled in the hardware until the "real" NMI iret happens. - before the popf/iret, use the NMI stack pointer to make the NMI return stack be invalid and cause a fault - set the NMI stack pointer to the current stack pointer NMI exit (not the above "immediate exit because we nested"): clear the percpu NMI stack pointer Just do the iret. Now, the thing is, now the "iret" is atomic. If we had a nested NMI, we'll take a fault, and that re-does our "delayed" NMI - and NMI's will stay masked. And if we didn't have a nested NMI, that iret will now unmask NMI's, and everything is happy." I first tried to follow this advice but as I started implementing this code, a few gotchas showed up. One, is accessing per-cpu variables in the NMI handler. The problem is that per-cpu variables use the %gs register to get the variable for the given CPU. But as the NMI may happen in userspace, we must first perform a SWAPGS to get to it. The NMI handler already does this later in the code, but its too late as we have saved off all the registers and we don't want to do that for a disabled NMI. Peter Zijlstra suggested to keep all variables on the stack. This simplifies things greatly and it has the added benefit of cache locality. Two, faulting on the iret. I really wanted to make this work, but it was becoming very hacky, and I never got it to be stable. The iret already had a fault handler for userspace faulting with bad segment registers, and getting NMI to trigger a fault and detect it was very tricky. But for strange reasons, the system would usually take a double fault and crash. I never figured out why and decided to go with a simple "jmp" approach. The new approach I took also simplified things. Finally, the last problem with Linus's approach was to have the nested NMI handler do a ret instead of an iret to give the first NMI NMI-context again. The problem is that ret is much more limited than an iret. I couldn't figure out how to get the stack back where it belonged. I could have copied the current stack, pushed the return onto it, but my fear here is that there may be some place that writes data below the stack pointer. I know that is not something code should depend on, but I don't want to chance it. I may add this feature later, but for now, an NMI handler that loses NMI context will not get it back. Here's what is done: When an NMI comes in, the HW pushes the interrupt stack frame onto the per cpu NMI stack that is selected by the IST. A special location on the NMI stack holds a variable that is set when the first NMI handler runs. If this variable is set then we know that this is a nested NMI and we process the nested NMI code. There is still a race when this variable is cleared and an NMI comes in just before the first NMI does the return. For this case, if the variable is cleared, we also check if the interrupted stack is the NMI stack. If it is, then we process the nested NMI code. Why the two tests and not just test the interrupted stack? If the first NMI hits a breakpoint and loses NMI context, and then it hits another breakpoint and while processing that breakpoint we get a nested NMI. When processing a breakpoint, the stack changes to the breakpoint stack. If another NMI comes in here we can't rely on the interrupted stack to be the NMI stack. If the variable is not set and the interrupted task's stack is not the NMI stack, then we know this is the first NMI and we can process things normally. But in order to do so, we need to do a few things first. 1) Set the stack variable that tells us that we are in an NMI handler 2) Make two copies of the interrupt stack frame. One copy is used to return on iret The other is used to restore the first one if we have a nested NMI. This is what the stack will look like: +-------------------------+ | original SS | | original Return RSP | | original RFLAGS | | original CS | | original RIP | +-------------------------+ | temp storage for rdx | +-------------------------+ | NMI executing variable | +-------------------------+ | Saved SS | | Saved Return RSP | | Saved RFLAGS | | Saved CS | | Saved RIP | +-------------------------+ | copied SS | | copied Return RSP | | copied RFLAGS | | copied CS | | copied RIP | +-------------------------+ | pt_regs | +-------------------------+ The original stack frame contains what the HW put in when we entered the NMI. We store %rdx as a temp variable to use. Both the original HW stack frame and this %rdx storage will be clobbered by nested NMIs so we can not rely on them later in the first NMI handler. The next item is the special stack variable that is set when we execute the rest of the NMI handler. Then we have two copies of the interrupt stack. The second copy is modified by any nested NMIs to let the first NMI know that we triggered a second NMI (latched) and that we should repeat the NMI handler. If the first NMI hits an exception or breakpoint that takes it out of NMI context, if a second NMI comes in before the first one finishes, it will update the copied interrupt stack to point to a fix up location to trigger another NMI. When the first NMI calls iret, it will instead jump to the fix up location. This fix up location will copy the saved interrupt stack back to the copy and execute the nmi handler again. Note, the nested NMI knows enough to check if it preempted a previous NMI handler while it is in the fixup location. If it has, it will not modify the copied interrupt stack and will just leave as if nothing happened. As the NMI handle is about to execute again, there's no reason to latch now. To test all this, I forced the NMI handler to call iret and take itself out of NMI context.

If the first NMI hits an exception or breakpoint that takes it out of NMI context, if a second NMI comes in before the first one finishes, it will update the copied interrupt stack to point to a fix up location to trigger another NMI. When the first NMI calls iret, it will instead jump to the fix up location. This fix up location will copy the saved interrupt stack back to the copy and execute the nmi handler again. Note, the nested NMI knows enough to check if it preempted a previous NMI handler while it is in the fixup location. If it has, it will not modify the copied interrupt stack and will just leave as if nothing happened. As the NMI handle is about to execute again, there's no reason to latch now. To test all this, I forced the NMI handler to call iret and take itself out of NMI context. I also added assemble code to write to the serial to make sure that it hits the nested path as well as the fix up path. Everything seems to be working fine.

x86: Add workaround to NMI iret woes In x86, when an NMI goes off, the CPU goes into an NMI context that prevents other NMIs to trigger on that CPU. If an NMI is suppose to trigger, it has to wait till the previous NMI leaves NMI context. At that time, the next NMI can trigger (note, only one more NMI will trigger, as only one can be latched at a time). The way x86 gets out of NMI context is by calling iret. The problem with this is that this causes problems if the NMI handle either triggers an exception, or a breakpoint. Both the exception and the breakpoint handlers will finish with an iret. If this happens while in NMI context, the CPU will leave NMI context and a new NMI may come in. As NMI handlers are not made to be re-entrant, this can cause havoc with the system, not to mention, the nested NMI will write all over the previous NMI's stack. Linus Torvalds proposed the following workaround to this problem: https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/14/264 "In fact, I wonder if we couldn't just do a software NMI disable instead? Hav ea per-cpu variable (in the _core_ percpu areas that get allocated statically) that points to the NMI stack frame, and just make the NMI code itself do something like NMI entry: - load percpu NMI stack frame pointer - if non-zero we know we're nested, and should ignore this NMI: - we're returning to kernel mode, so return immediately by using "popf/ret", which also keeps NMI's disabled in the hardware until the "real" NMI iret happens. - before the popf/iret, use the NMI stack pointer to make the NMI return stack be invalid and cause a fault - set the NMI stack pointer to the current stack pointer NMI exit (not the above "immediate exit because we nested"): clear the percpu NMI stack pointer Just do the iret. Now, the thing is, now the "iret" is atomic. If we had a nested NMI, we'll take a fault, and that re-does our "delayed" NMI - and NMI's will stay masked. And if we didn't have a nested NMI, that iret will now unmask NMI's, and everything is happy." I first tried to follow this advice but as I started implementing this code, a few gotchas showed up. One, is accessing per-cpu variables in the NMI handler. The problem is that per-cpu variables use the %gs register to get the variable for the given CPU. But as the NMI may happen in userspace, we must first perform a SWAPGS to get to it. The NMI handler already does this later in the code, but its too late as we have saved off all the registers and we don't want to do that for a disabled NMI. Peter Zijlstra suggested to keep all variables on the stack. This simplifies things greatly and it has the added benefit of cache locality. Two, faulting on the iret. I really wanted to make this work, but it was becoming very hacky, and I never got it to be stable. The iret already had a fault handler for userspace faulting with bad segment registers, and getting NMI to trigger a fault and detect it was very tricky. But for strange reasons, the system would usually take a double fault and crash. I never figured out why and decided to go with a simple "jmp" approach. The new approach I took also simplified things. Finally, the last problem with Linus's approach was to have the nested NMI handler do a ret instead of an iret to give the first NMI NMI-context again. The problem is that ret is much more limited than an iret. I couldn't figure out how to get the stack back where it belonged. I could have copied the current stack, pushed the return onto it, but my fear here is that there may be some place that writes data below the stack pointer. I know that is not something code should depend on, but I don't want to chance it. I may add this feature later, but for now, an NMI handler that loses NMI context will not get it back. Here's what is done: When an NMI comes in, the HW pushes the interrupt stack frame onto the per cpu NMI stack that is selected by the IST. A special location on the NMI stack holds a variable that is set when the first NMI handler runs. If this variable is set then we know that this is a nested NMI and we process the nested NMI code. There is still a race when this variable is cleared and an NMI comes in just before the first NMI does the return. For this case, if the variable is cleared, we also check if the interrupted stack is the NMI stack. If it is, then we process the nested NMI code. Why the two tests and not just test the interrupted stack? If the first NMI hits a breakpoint and loses NMI context, and then it hits another breakpoint and while processing that breakpoint we get a nested NMI. When processing a breakpoint, the stack changes to the breakpoint stack. If another NMI comes in here we can't rely on the interrupted stack to be the NMI stack. If the variable is not set and the interrupted task's stack is not the NMI stack, then we know this is the first NMI and we can process things normally. But in order to do so, we need to do a few things first. 1) Set the stack variable that tells us that we are in an NMI handler 2) Make two copies of the interrupt stack frame. One copy is used to return on iret The other is used to restore the first one if we have a nested NMI. This is what the stack will look like: +-------------------------+ | original SS | | original Return RSP | | original RFLAGS | | original CS | | original RIP | +-------------------------+ | temp storage for rdx | +-------------------------+ | NMI executing variable | +-------------------------+ | Saved SS | | Saved Return RSP | | Saved RFLAGS | | Saved CS | | Saved RIP | +-------------------------+ | copied SS | | copied Return RSP | | copied RFLAGS | | copied CS | | copied RIP | +-------------------------+ | pt_regs | +-------------------------+ The original stack frame contains what the HW put in when we entered the NMI. We store %rdx as a temp variable to use. Both the original HW stack frame and this %rdx storage will be clobbered by nested NMIs so we can not rely on them later in the first NMI handler. The next item is the special stack variable that is set when we execute the rest of the NMI handler. Then we have two copies of the interrupt stack.

If the first NMI hits an exception or breakpoint that takes it out of NMI context, if a second NMI comes in before the first one finishes, it will update the copied interrupt stack to point to a fix up location to trigger another NMI. When the first NMI calls iret, it will instead jump to the fix up location. This fix up location will copy the saved interrupt stack back to the copy and execute the nmi handler again. Note, the nested NMI knows enough to check if it preempted a previous NMI handler while it is in the fixup location. If it has, it will not modify the copied interrupt stack and will just leave as if nothing happened. As the NMI handle is about to execute again, there's no reason to latch now. To test all this, I forced the NMI handler to call iret and take itself out of NMI context. I also added assemble code to write to the serial to make sure that it hits the nested path as well as the fix up path. Everything seems to be working fine.

x86: Add workaround to NMI iret woes In x86, when an NMI goes off, the CPU goes into an NMI context that prevents other NMIs to trigger on that CPU. If an NMI is suppose to trigger, it has to wait till the previous NMI leaves NMI context. At that time, the next NMI can trigger (note, only one more NMI will trigger, as only one can be latched at a time). The way x86 gets out of NMI context is by calling iret. The problem with this is that this causes problems if the NMI handle either triggers an exception, or a breakpoint. Both the exception and the breakpoint handlers will finish with an iret. If this happens while in NMI context, the CPU will leave NMI context and a new NMI may come in. As NMI handlers are not made to be re-entrant, this can cause havoc with the system, not to mention, the nested NMI will write all over the previous NMI's stack. Linus Torvalds proposed the following workaround to this problem: https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/14/264 "In fact, I wonder if we couldn't just do a software NMI disable instead? Hav ea per-cpu variable (in the _core_ percpu areas that get allocated statically) that points to the NMI stack frame, and just make the NMI code itself do something like NMI entry: - load percpu NMI stack frame pointer - if non-zero we know we're nested, and should ignore this NMI: - we're returning to kernel mode, so return immediately by using "popf/ret", which also keeps NMI's disabled in the hardware until the "real" NMI iret happens. - before the popf/iret, use the NMI stack pointer to make the NMI return stack be invalid and cause a fault - set the NMI stack pointer to the current stack pointer NMI exit (not the above "immediate exit because we nested"): clear the percpu NMI stack pointer Just do the iret. Now, the thing is, now the "iret" is atomic. If we had a nested NMI, we'll take a fault, and that re-does our "delayed" NMI - and NMI's will stay masked. And if we didn't have a nested NMI, that iret will now unmask NMI's, and everything is happy." I first tried to follow this advice but as I started implementing this code, a few gotchas showed up. One, is accessing per-cpu variables in the NMI handler. The problem is that per-cpu variables use the %gs register to get the variable for the given CPU. But as the NMI may happen in userspace, we must first perform a SWAPGS to get to it. The NMI handler already does this later in the code, but its too late as we have saved off all the registers and we don't want to do that for a disabled NMI. Peter Zijlstra suggested to keep all variables on the stack. This simplifies things greatly and it has the added benefit of cache locality. Two, faulting on the iret. I really wanted to make this work, but it was becoming very hacky, and I never got it to be stable. The iret already had a fault handler for userspace faulting with bad segment registers, and getting NMI to trigger a fault and detect it was very tricky. But for strange reasons, the system would usually take a double fault and crash. I never figured out why and decided to go with a simple "jmp" approach. The new approach I took also simplified things. Finally, the last problem with Linus's approach was to have the nested NMI handler do a ret instead of an iret to give the first NMI NMI-context again. The problem is that ret is much more limited than an iret. I couldn't figure out how to get the stack back where it belonged. I could have copied the current stack, pushed the return onto it, but my fear here is that there may be some place that writes data below the stack pointer. I know that is not something code should depend on, but I don't want to chance it. I may add this feature later, but for now, an NMI handler that loses NMI context will not get it back. Here's what is done: When an NMI comes in, the HW pushes the interrupt stack frame onto the per cpu NMI stack that is selected by the IST. A special location on the NMI stack holds a variable that is set when the first NMI handler runs. If this variable is set then we know that this is a nested NMI and we process the nested NMI code. There is still a race when this variable is cleared and an NMI comes in just before the first NMI does the return. For this case, if the variable is cleared, we also check if the interrupted stack is the NMI stack. If it is, then we process the nested NMI code. Why the two tests and not just test the interrupted stack? If the first NMI hits a breakpoint and loses NMI context, and then it hits another breakpoint and while processing that breakpoint we get a nested NMI. When processing a breakpoint, the stack changes to the breakpoint stack. If another NMI comes in here we can't rely on the interrupted stack to be the NMI stack. If the variable is not set and the interrupted task's stack is not the NMI stack, then we know this is the first NMI and we can process things normally. But in order to do so, we need to do a few things first. 1) Set the stack variable that tells us that we are in an NMI handler 2) Make two copies of the interrupt stack frame. One copy is used to return on iret The other is used to restore the first one if we have a nested NMI. This is what the stack will look like: +-------------------------+ | original SS | | original Return RSP | | original RFLAGS | | original CS | | original RIP | +-------------------------+ | temp storage for rdx | +-------------------------+ | NMI executing variable | +-------------------------+ | Saved SS | | Saved Return RSP | | Saved RFLAGS | | Saved CS | | Saved RIP | +-------------------------+ | copied SS | | copied Return RSP | | copied RFLAGS | | copied CS | | copied RIP | +-------------------------+ | pt_regs | +-------------------------+ The original stack frame contains what the HW put in when we entered the NMI. We store %rdx as a temp variable to use. Both the original HW stack frame and this %rdx storage will be clobbered by nested NMIs so we can not rely on them later in the first NMI handler. The next item is the special stack variable that is set when we execute the rest of the NMI handler. Then we have two copies of the interrupt stack. The second copy is modified by any nested NMIs to let the first NMI know that we triggered a second NMI (latched) and that we should repeat the NMI handler. If the first NMI hits an exception or breakpoint that takes it out of NMI context, if a second NMI comes in before the first one finishes, it will update the copied interrupt stack to point to a fix up location to trigger another NMI. When the first NMI calls iret, it will instead jump to the fix up location. This fix up location will copy the saved interrupt stack back to the copy and execute the nmi handler again. Note, the nested NMI knows enough to check if it preempted a previous NMI handler while it is in the fixup location. If it has, it will not modify the copied interrupt stack and will just leave as if nothing happened. As the NMI handle is about to execute again, there's no reason to latch now. To test all this, I forced the NMI handler to call iret and take itself out of NMI context. I also added assemble code to write to the serial to make sure that it hits the nested path as well as the fix up path. Everything seems to be working fine.
