      x86/pti: Never implicitly clear _PAGE_GLOBAL for kernel image · 39114b7a
      Dave Hansen authored
      Summary:
      
      In current kernels, with PTI enabled, no pages are marked Global. This
      potentially increases TLB misses.  But, the mechanism by which the Global
      bit is set and cleared is rather haphazard.  This patch makes the process
      more explicit.  In the end, it leaves us with Global entries in the page
      tables for the areas truly shared by userspace and kernel and increases
      TLB hit rates.
      
      The place this patch really shines in on systems without PCIDs.  In this
      case, we are using an lseek microbenchmark[1] to see how a reasonably
      non-trivial syscall behaves.  Higher is better:
      
        No Global pages (baseline): 6077741 lseeks/sec
        88 Global Pages (this set): 7528609 lseeks/sec (+23.9%)
      
      On a modern Skylake desktop with PCIDs, the benefits are tangible, but not
      huge for a kernel compile (lower is better):
      
        No Global pages (baseline): 186.951 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.35% )
        28 Global pages (this set): 185.756 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.09% )
                                     -1.195 seconds (-0.64%)
      
      I also re-checked everything using the lseek1 test[1]:
      
        No Global pages (baseline): 15783951 lseeks/sec
        28 Global pages (this set): 16054688 lseeks/sec
      			     +270737 lseeks/sec (+1.71%)
      
      The effect is more visible, but still modest.
      
      Details:
      
      The kernel page tables are inherited from head_64.S which rudely marks
      them as _PAGE_GLOBAL.  For PTI, we have been relying on the grace of
      $DEITY and some insane behavior in pageattr.c to clear _PAGE_GLOBAL.
      This patch tries to do better.
      
      First, stop filtering out "unsupported" bits from being cleared in the
      pageattr code.  It's fine to filter out *setting* these bits but it
      is insane to keep us from clearing them.
      
      Then, *explicitly* go clear _PAGE_GLOBAL from the kernel identity map.
      Do not rely on pageattr to do it magically.
      
      After this patch, we can see that "GLB" shows up in each copy of the
      page tables, that we have the same number of global entries in each
      and that they are the *same* entries.
      
        /sys/kernel/debug/page_tables/current_kernel:11
        /sys/kernel/debug/page_tables/current_user:11
        /sys/kernel/debug/page_tables/kernel:11
      
        9caae8ad6a1fb53aca2407ec037f612d  current_kernel.GLB
        9caae8ad6a1fb53aca2407ec037f612d  current_user.GLB
        9caae8ad6a1fb53aca2407ec037f612d  kernel.GLB
      
      A quick visual audit also shows that all the entries make sense.
      0xfffffe0000000000 is the cpu_entry_area and 0xffffffff81c00000
      is the entry/exit text:
      
        0xfffffe0000000000-0xfffffe0000002000           8K     ro                 GLB NX pte

      The entry/exit text and cpu_entry_area are mapped into userspace and
      the kernel.  But, they are not _PAGE_GLOBAL.  This creates unnecessary

      x86/mm: Do not forbid _PAGE_RW before init for __ro_after_init · 639d6aaf
      Dave Hansen authored
      __ro_after_init data gets stuck in the .rodata section.  That's normally
      fine because the kernel itself manages the R/W properties.
      
      But, if we run __change_page_attr() on an area which is __ro_after_init,
      the .rodata checks will trigger and force the area to be immediately
      read-only, even if it is early-ish in boot.  This caused problems when
      trying to clear the _PAGE_GLOBAL bit for these area in the PTI code:
      it cleared _PAGE_GLOBAL like I asked, but also took it up on itself
      to clear _PAGE_RW.  The kernel then oopses the next time it wrote to
      a __ro_after_init data structure.
      
      To fix this, add the kernel_set_to_readonly check, just like we have
      for kernel text, just a few lines below in this function.

      x86/mm: Comment _PAGE_GLOBAL mystery · 430d4005
      Dave Hansen authored
      I was mystified as to where the _PAGE_GLOBAL in the kernel page tables
      for kernel text came from.  I audited all the places I could find, but
      I missed one: head_64.S.
      
      The page tables that we create in here live for a long time, and they
      also have _PAGE_GLOBAL set, despite whether the processor supports it
      or not.  It's harmless, and we got *lucky* that the pageattr code
      accidentally clears it when we wipe it out of __supported_pte_mask and
      then later try to mark kernel text read-only.
      
      Comment some of these properties to make it easier to find and
      understand in the future.

      x86/mm: Remove extra filtering in pageattr code · 1a54420a
      Dave Hansen authored
      The pageattr code has a mode where it can set or clear PTE bits in
      existing PTEs, so the page protections of the *new* PTEs come from
      one of two places:
      
        1. The set/clear masks: cpa->mask_clr / cpa->mask_set
        2. The existing PTE
      
      We filter ->mask_set/clr for supported PTE bits at entry to
      __change_page_attr() so we never need to filter them again.
      
      The only other place permissions can come from is an existing PTE
      and those already presumably have good bits.  We do not need to filter
      them again.

      x86/mm: Do not auto-massage page protections · fb43d6cb
      Dave Hansen authored
      A PTE is constructed from a physical address and a pgprotval_t.
      __PAGE_KERNEL, for instance, is a pgprot_t and must be converted
      into a pgprotval_t before it can be used to create a PTE.  This is
      done implicitly within functions like pfn_pte() by massage_pgprot().
      
      However, this makes it very challenging to set bits (and keep them
      set) if your bit is being filtered out by massage_pgprot().
      
      This moves the bit filtering out of pfn_pte() and friends.  For
      users of PAGE_KERNEL*, filtering will be done automatically inside
      those macros but for users of __PAGE_KERNEL*, they need to do their
      own filtering now.
      
      Note that we also just move pfn_pte/pmd/pud() over to check_pgprot()
      instead of massage_pgprot().  This way, we still *look* for
      unsupported bits and properly warn about them if we find them.  This
      might happen if an unfiltered __PAGE_KERNEL* value was passed in,
      for instance.

      Dave Hansen authored
      The "normal" kernel page table creation mechanisms using
      PAGE_KERNEL_* page protections will never set _PAGE_GLOBAL with PTI.
      The few places in the kernel that always want _PAGE_GLOBAL must

      Document that we want it here and its use is not accidental.

      x86/mm: Introduce "default" kernel PTE mask · 8a57f484
      Dave Hansen authored
      The __PAGE_KERNEL_* page permissions are "raw".  They contain bits
      that may or may not be supported on the current processor.  They need
      to be filtered by a mask (currently __supported_pte_mask) to turn them
      into a value that we can actually set in a PTE.
      
      These __PAGE_KERNEL_* values all contain _PAGE_GLOBAL.  But, with PTI,
      we want to be able to support _PAGE_GLOBAL (have the bit set in
      __supported_pte_mask) but not have it appear in any of these masks by
      default.
      
      This patch creates a new mask, __default_kernel_pte_mask, and applies
      it when creating all of the PAGE_KERNEL_* masks.  This makes
      PAGE_KERNEL_* safe to use anywhere (they only contain supported bits).
      It also ensures that PAGE_KERNEL_* contains _PAGE_GLOBAL on PTI=n
      kernels but clears _PAGE_GLOBAL when PTI=y.
      
      We also make __default_kernel_pte_mask a non-GPL exported symbol
      because there are plenty of driver-available interfaces that take
      PAGE_KERNEL_* permissions.

      x86/mm: Undo double _PAGE_PSE clearing · 606c7193
      Dave Hansen authored
      When clearing _PAGE_PRESENT on a huge page, we need to be careful
      to also clear _PAGE_PSE, otherwise it might still get confused
      for a valid large page table entry.
      
      We do that near the spot where we *set* _PAGE_PSE.  That's fine,
      but it's unnecessary.  pgprot_large_2_4k() already did it.
      
      BTW, I also noticed that pgprot_large_2_4k() and
      pgprot_4k_2_large() are not symmetric.  pgprot_large_2_4k() clears
      _PAGE_PSE (because it is aliased to _PAGE_PAT) but
      pgprot_4k_2_large() does not put _PAGE_PSE back.  Bummer.
      
      Also, add some comments and change "promote" to "move".  "Promote"
      seems an odd word to move when we are logically moving a bit to a
      lower bit position.  Also add an extra line return to make it clear
      to which line the comment applies.

      x86/mm: Factor out pageattr _PAGE_GLOBAL setting · d1440b23
      Dave Hansen authored
      The pageattr code has a pattern repeated where it sets _PAGE_GLOBAL
      for present PTEs but clears it for non-present PTEs.  The intention
      is to keep _PAGE_GLOBAL from getting confused with _PAGE_PROTNONE
      since _PAGE_GLOBAL is for present PTEs and _PAGE_PROTNONE is for
      non-present
      
      But, this pattern makes no sense.  Effectively, it says, if you use
      the pageattr code, always set _PAGE_GLOBAL when _PAGE_PRESENT.
      canon_pgprot() will clear it if unsupported (because it masks the
      value with __supported_pte_mask) but we *always* set it. Even if
      canon_pgprot() did not filter _PAGE_GLOBAL, it would be OK.
      _PAGE_GLOBAL is ignored when CR4.PGE=0 by the hardware.
      
      This unconditional setting of _PAGE_GLOBAL is a problem when we have
      PTI and non-PTI and we want some areas to have _PAGE_GLOBAL and some
      not.
      
      This updated version of the code says:
      1. Clear _PAGE_GLOBAL when !_PAGE_PRESENT
      2. Never set _PAGE_GLOBAL implicitly
      3. Allow _PAGE_GLOBAL to be in cpa.set_mask
      4. Allow _PAGE_GLOBAL to be inherited from previous PTE

      x86/entry/64: Drop idtentry's manual stack switch for user entries · 071ccc96
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      For non-paranoid entries, idtentry knows how to switch from the
      kernel stack to the user stack, as does error_entry.  This results
      in pointless duplication and code bloat.  Make idtentry stop
      thinking about stacks for non-paranoid entries.
      
      This reduces text size by 5377 bytes.
      
      This goes back to the following commit:
      
        7f2590a1 ("x86/entry/64: Use a per-CPU trampoline stack for IDT entries")

      Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "The main kernel side changes were:
      
         - Modernize the kprobe and uprobe creation/destruction tooling ABIs:
      
           The existing text based APIs (kprobe_events and uprobe_events in
           tracefs), are naive, limited ABIs in that they require user-space
           to clean up after themselves, which is both difficult and fragile
           if the tool is buggy or exits unexpectedly. In other words they are
           not really suited for modern, robust tooling.
      
           So introduce a modern, file descriptor based ABI that does not have
           these limitations: introduce the 'perf_kprobe' and 'perf_uprobe'
           PMUs and extend the perf_event_open() syscall to create events with
           a kprobe/uprobe attached to them. These [k,u]probe are associated
           with this file descriptor, so they are not available in tracefs.

         - Improve the performance of pinned/flexible event groups by using RB
           trees (Alexey Budankov)
      
         - Add PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES which allows the modification
           of hardware breakpoints, which new ABI variant massively speeds up
           existing tooling that uses hardware breakpoints to instrument (and
           debug) memory usage.

            * Add the 'P' hotkey in TUI annotation to dump annotation output
              into a file, to ease e-mail reporting of annotation details.
              (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
            * Add an IPC/cycles column to the TUI (Jin Yao)
      
            * Improve s390 assembly annotation (Thomas Richter)
      
            * Refactor the output formatting logic to better separate it into
              interactive and non-interactive features and add the --stdio2
              output variant to demonstrate this. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
         - 'perf script' improvements:
      
            * Add Python 3 support (Jaroslav Škarvada)
      
            * Add --show-round-event (Jiri Olsa)
      
         - 'perf c2c' improvements:

         - 'perf sched' improvements (Changbin Du)

      Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "The main changes in the locking subsystem in this cycle were:
      
         - Add the Linux Kernel Memory Consistency Model (LKMM) subsystem,
           which is an an array of tools in tools/memory-model/ that formally
           describe the Linux memory coherency model (a.k.a.
           Documentation/memory-barriers.txt), and also produce 'litmus tests'
           in form of kernel code which can be directly executed and tested.
      
           Here's a high level background article about an earlier version of
           this work on LWN.net:
      
              https://lwn.net/Articles/718628/
      
           The design principles:
      
            "There is reason to believe that Documentation/memory-barriers.txt
             could use some help, and a major purpose of this patch is to
             provide that help in the form of a design-time tool that can
             produce all valid executions of a small fragment of concurrent
             Linux-kernel code, which is called a "litmus test". This tool's
             functionality is roughly similar to a full state-space search.
             Please note that this is a design-time tool, not useful for
             regression testing. However, we hope that the underlying
             Linux-kernel memory model will be incorporated into other tools
             capable of analyzing large bodies of code for regression-testing
             purposes."
      
           [...]
      
            "A second tool is klitmus7, which converts litmus tests to
             loadable kernel modules for direct testing. As with herd7, the
             klitmus7 code is freely available from
      
               http://diy.inria.fr/sources/index.html
