x86/kbuild: Use cc-option to enable -falign-{jumps/loops}
For pre-4.6.0 versions of GCC, which don't have '-mfentry', the
'-maccumulate-outgoing-args' option is required for function graph
tracing in order to avoid GCC bug 42109.
However, GCC ignores '-maccumulate-outgoing-args' when '-Os' is
also set.
Currently we force a build error to prevent that scenario, but that
breaks randconfigs. So change the error to a warning which also
disables CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.

The GCC '-maccumulate-outgoing-args' flag is enabled for most configs,
mostly because of issues which are no longer relevant. For most
configs, and with most recent versions of GCC, it's no longer needed.
Clarify which cases need it, and only enable it for those cases. Also
produce a compile-time error for the ftrace graph + mcount + '-Os' case,
which will otherwise cause runtime failures.
The main benefit of '-maccumulate-outgoing-args' is that it prevents an
ugly prologue for functions which have aligned stacks. But removing the
option also has some benefits: more readable argument saves, smaller
text size, and (presumably) slightly improved performance.
Here are the object size savings for 32-bit and 64-bit defconfig
kernels:
text data bss dec hex filename
10006710 3543328 1773568 15323606 e9d1d6 vmlinux.x86-32.before
9706358 3547424 1773568 15027350 e54c96 vmlinux.x86-32.after
text data bss dec hex filename
10652105 4537576 843776 16033457 f4a6b1 vmlinux.x86-64.before
10639629 4537576 843776 16020981 f475f5 vmlinux.x86-64.after
That comes out to a 3% text size improvement on x86-32 and a 0.1% text
size improvement on x86-64.

Before, the stack protector flag was sanity checked before .config had
been reprocessed. This meant the build couldn't be aborted early, and
only a warning could be emitted followed later by the compiler blowing
up with an unknown flag. This has caused a lot of confusion over time,
so this splits the flag selection from sanity checking and performs the
sanity checking after the make has been restarted from a reprocessed
.config, so builds can be aborted as early as possible now.
Additionally moves the x86-specific sanity check to the same location,
since it suffered from the same warn-then-wait-for-compiler-failure
problem.

We have 4 types of x86 platforms that disable RTC:
* Intel MID
* Lguest - uses paravirt
* Xen dom-U - uses paravirt
* x86 on legacy systems annotated with an ACPI legacy flag
We can consolidate all of these into a platform specific legacy
quirk set early in boot through i386_start_kernel() and through
x86_64_start_reservations(). This deals with the RTC quirks which
we can rely on through the hardware subarch, the ACPI check can
be dealt with separately.
For Xen things are bit more complex given that the @X86_SUBARCH_XEN
x86_hardware_subarch is shared on for Xen which uses the PV path for
both domU and dom0. Since the semantics for differentiating between
the two are Xen specific we provide a platform helper to help override
default legacy features -- x86_platform.set_legacy_features(). Use
of this helper is highly discouraged, its only purpose should be
to account for the lack of semantics available within your given
x86_hardware_subarch.
As per 0-day, this bumps the vmlinux size using i386-tinyconfig as
follows:
TOTAL TEXT init.text x86_early_init_platform_quirks()
+70 +62 +62 +43
Only 8 bytes overhead total, as the main increase in size is
all removed via __init.

As per:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53383
GCC only allows -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 on x86_64 if -mno-sse is set.
That means that cc-option will not detect -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3
support, because we test for it before setting -mno-sse.
Fix it by reordering the Makefile bits.
Compile-tested only. This should help avoid code generation
issues such as the one that was worked around in:
b96fecbfa8 ("x86/fpu: Fix boot crash in the early FPU code")
I'm a bit concerned that we could still have problems on older
GCC versions given that our asm code does not respect GCC's idea
of the ABI-required stack alignment.

So the dwarf2 annotations in low level assembly code have
become an increasing hindrance: unreadable, messy macros
mixed into some of the most security sensitive code paths
of the Linux kernel.
These debug info annotations don't even buy the upstream
kernel anything: dwarf driven stack unwinding has caused
problems in the past so it's out of tree, and the upstream
kernel only uses the much more robust framepointers based
stack unwinding method.
In addition to that there's a steady, slow bitrot going
on with these annotations, requiring frequent fixups.
There's no tooling and no functionality upstream that
keeps it correct.
So burn down the sick forest, allowing new, healthier growth:
27 files changed, 350 insertions(+), 1101 deletions(-)
Someone who has the willingness and time to do this
properly can attempt to reintroduce dwarf debuginfo in x86
assembly code plus dwarf unwinding from first principles,
with the following conditions:
- it should be maximally readable, and maximally low-key to
'ordinary' code reading and maintenance.
- find a build time method to insert dwarf annotations
automatically in the most common cases, for pop/push
instructions that manipulate the stack pointer. This could
be done for example via a preprocessing step that just
looks for common patterns - plus special annotations for
the few cases where we want to depart from the default.
We have hundreds of CFI annotations, so automating most of
that makes sense.
- it should come with build tooling checks that ensure that
CFI annotations are sensible. We've seen such efforts from
the framepointer side, and there's no reason it couldn't be
done on the dwarf side.

Packing loops tightly (-falign-loops=1) is beneficial to code size:
text data bss dec filename
12566391 1617840 1089536 15273767 vmlinux.align.16-byte
12224951 1617840 1089536 14932327 vmlinux.align.1-byte
11976567 1617840 1089536 14683943 vmlinux.align.1-byte.funcs-1-byte
11903735 1617840 1089536 14611111 vmlinux.align.1-byte.funcs-1-byte.loops-1-byte
Which reduces the size of the kernel by another 0.6%, so the
the total combined size reduction of the alignment-packing
patches is ~5.5%.
The x86 decoder bandwidth and caching arguments laid out in:
be6cb02779 ("x86: Align jump targets to 1-byte boundaries")
apply to loop alignment as well.
Furtermore, modern CPU uarchs have a loop cache/buffer that
is a L0 cache before even any uop cache, covering a few
dozen most recently executed instructions.
This loop cache generally does not have the 16-byte alignment
restrictions of the uop cache.
Now loop alignment can still be beneficial if:
- a loop is cache-hot and its surroundings are not.
- if the loop is so cache hot that the instruction
flow becomes x86 decoder bandwidth limited
But loop alignment is harmful if:
- a loop is cache-cold
- a loop's surroundings are cache-hot as well
- two cache-hot loops are close to each other
- if the loop fits into the loop cache
- if the code flow is not decoder bandwidth limited
and I'd argue that the latter five scenarios are much
more common in the kernel, as our hottest loops are
typically:
- pointer chasing: this should fit into the loop cache
in most cases and is typically data cache and address
generation limited
- generic memory ops (memset, memcpy, etc.): these generally
fit into the loop cache as well, and are likewise data
cache limited.
So this patch packs loop addresses tightly as well.

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

GCC 5 added a compiler option, -mskip-rax-setup, for x86-64. It skips
setting up the RAX register when SSE is disabled and there are no
variable arguments passed in vector registers. (According to the x86_64
ABI, %al is used as a hidden register containing the number of vector
registers used).
Since the kernel doesn't pass vector registers to functions with
variable arguments, this option can be used to optimize the x86-64
kernel.
This GCC feature was suggested by Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>.
This is the corresponding kernel change using it.

The options -mno-mmx and -mno-sse are unconditionally added to
KBUILD_CFLAGS in both branches of an ifeq and through a
$(cc-option) further down. We can safely remove the first
instances.
In fact, since the -mno-mmx and -mno-sse options were introduced
simultaneous with the other two options in the $(cc-option)
[according to http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-3.1/changes.html],
and since the former were unconditionally used, one can deduce that
only gcc versions knowing about all four are supported. So also
eliminate the $(cc-option) wrap.

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

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

We recently had the case where wrongly used floating-constant 'E' caused
the generation of traditional x87 instructions in kernel code and
wreaking all kinds of havoc.
Disable the generation of those too. This will save people a lot of time
when trying to debug such issues by erroring out of the build instead of
let them manifest themselves in very spectacular and happy-crappy ways
at runtime.
We're using -mno-fp-ret-in-387 in addition to -mno-80387 (which is ==
-msoft-float) because, as the gcc manpage says:
On machines where a function returns floating-point results in the
80387 register stack, some floating-point opcodes may be emitted even
if -msoft-float is used.
so we want to turn off *all* non-integer instructions involving any
architectural FPU state, unless it is absolutely necessary (and those
cases need special handling anyway).

5551a34e5a x86-64, build: Always pass in -mno-sse
we unconditionally added -mno-sse to the main build, to keep newer
compilers from generating SSE instructions from autovectorization.
However, this did not extend to the special environments
(arch/x86/boot, arch/x86/boot/compressed, and arch/x86/realmode/rm).
Add -mno-sse to the compiler command line for these environments, and
add -mno-mmx to all the environments as well, as we don't want a
compiler to generate MMX code either.
This patch also removes a $(cc-option) call for -m32, since we have
long since stopped supporting compilers too old for the -m32 option,
and in fact hardcode it in other places in the Makefiles.

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

"Here are two fixes I intended to send after v3.6-rc7, but failed to do
so. So please pull them for v3.7-rc1 and they will be picked up by
stable.
The first one fixes gcc -x <language> syntax in various build-time
tests, which icecream and possible other gcc wrappers did not
understand (and yes, icecream is going to be fixed as well).
The second one fixes make tar-pkg so that unpacking the tarball does
not replace the /lib -> /usr/lib symlink on recent Fedora releases."
* 'rc-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax
kbuild: Do not package /boot and /lib in make tar-pkg
The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.
This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.
Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

While building the SUSE kernel packages, which build the scripts,
make clean, and then build everything, we have been running into spurious
build failures. We tracked them down to a simple dependency issue:
$ make mrproper
CLEAN arch/x86/tools
CLEAN scripts/basic
$ cp patches/config/x86_64/desktop .config
$ make archscripts
HOSTCC arch/x86/tools/relocs

This was introduced by commit
6520fe55 (x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs),
which added the archscripts dependency to archprepare.

On x86-64, the standard ABI requires alignment to 16 bytes. However,
this is not actually necessary in the kernel (we don't do SSE except
in very controlled ways); and furthermore, the standard kernel entry
on x86-64 actually leaves the stack on an odd 8-byte boundary, which
means that gcc will generate extra instructions to keep the stack
*mis*aligned!
gcc 4.8 adds an -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 option to override this
and lets us save some stack space and a handful of instructions.
Note that this causes us to pass -mno-sse twice; this is redundant,
but necessary since the cc-option test will fail unless -mno-sse is
passed on the same command line.

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

Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h automatically from the
tables in arch/x86/syscalls. All other information, like NR_syscalls,
is auto-generated, some of which is in asm-offsets_*.c.
This allows us to keep all the system call information in one place,
and allows for kernel space and user space to see different
information; this is currently used for the ia32 system call numbers
when building the 64-bit kernel, but will be used by the x32 ABI in
the near future.
This also removes some gratuitious differences between i386, x86-64
and ia32; in particular, now all system call tables are generated with
the same mechanism.

Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
to select a custom installkernel script when running make:
make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install
With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use
of CROSS_COMPILE.
The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.
The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
longer be installable.
[Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]
This patch undos what Ian did in commit:
0f8e2d62fa
("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")
The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
looks obvious.

Add another option when selecting CPU family so the kernel can be
optimized for Intel Atom CPUs. If GCC supports tuning options for
Intel Atom they will be used.

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

Fixed trivial conflict in arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig manually
It is common to use "make install" in restricted environments which
differ from the one which was actually used to build the kernel. In
such environments it is highly undesirable to trigger a rebuild of any
part of the system. Worse, the rebuild may be spurious, triggered by
differences in the environment.

Impact: cleanup
Instead of using CLEAN_FILES in arch/x86/Makefile, add generated files
to targets in arch/x86/boot/Makefile, so they will get naturally
cleaned up by "make clean".

Impact: cleanup
Remove targets that were used for zImage only, and Makefile
infrastructure that was there to support the zImage/bzImage split.

Impact: no default -fno-stack-protector if stackp is enabled, cleanup
Stackprotector make rules had the following problems.
* cc support test and warning are scattered across makefile and
kernel/panic.c.
* -fno-stack-protector was always added regardless of configuration.
Update such that cc support test and warning are contained in makefile
and -fno-stack-protector is added iff stackp is turned off. While at
it, prepare for 32bit support.

Remove the 32-bit subarchitecture support code.
All subarchitectures but Voyager have been converted. Voyager will be
done later or will be removed.
