      lib: make memzero_explicit more robust against dead store elimination · 7829fb09
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      In commit 0b053c95 ("lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead
      of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR"), we made memzero_explicit() more robust in
      case LTO would decide to inline memzero_explicit() and eventually
      find out it could be elimiated as dead store.
      
      While using barrier() works well for the case of gcc, recent efforts
      from LLVMLinux people suggest to use llvm as an alternative to gcc,
      and there, Stephan found in a simple stand-alone user space example
      that llvm could nevertheless optimize and thus elimitate the memset().
      A similar issue has been observed in the referenced llvm bug report,
      which is regarded as not-a-bug.
      
      Based on some experiments, icc is a bit special on its own, while it
      doesn't seem to eliminate the memset(), it could do so with an own
      implementation, and then result in similar findings as with llvm.
      
      The fix in this patch now works for all three compilers (also tested
      with more aggressive optimization levels). Arguably, in the current
      kernel tree it's more of a theoretical issue, but imho, it's better
      to be pedantic about it.
      
      It's clearly visible with gcc/llvm though, with the below code: if we
      would have used barrier() only here, llvm would have omitted clearing,
      not so with barrier_data() variant:
      
        static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count)
        {
          memset(s, 0, count);
          barrier_data(s);
        }
      
        int main(void)
        {
          char buff[20];
          memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff));
          return 0;
        }
      
        $ gcc -O2 test.c
        $ gdb a.out
        (gdb) disassemble main

         0x0000000000400507 <+23>: retq
        End of assembler dump.
      
      As gcc, clang, but also icc defines __GNUC__, it's sufficient to define
      this in compiler-gcc.h only to be picked up. For a fallback or otherwise
      unsupported compiler, we define it as a barrier. Similarly, for ecc which
      does not support gcc inline asm.
