* x86, mm: Improve _install_special_mapping and fix x86 vdso namingAndy Lutomirski2014-05-201-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using arch_vma_name to give special mappings a name is awkward. x86 currently implements it by comparing the start address of the vma to the expected address of the vdso. This requires tracking the start address of special mappings and is probably buggy if a special vma is split or moved. Improve _install_special_mapping to just name the vma directly. Use it to give the x86 vvar area a name, which should make CRIU's life easier. As a side effect, the vvar area will show up in core dumps. This could be considered weird and is fixable. [hpa: I say we accept this as-is but be prepared to deal with knocking out the vvars from core dumps if this becomes a problem.] Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Cc: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/276b39b6b645fb11e345457b503f17b83c2c6fd0.1400538962.git.luto@amacapital.net Signed-off-by: H.

* x86, vdso: Move the 32-bit vdso special pages after the textAndy Lutomirski2014-05-051-112/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | This unifies the vdso mapping code and teaches it how to map special pages at addresses corresponding to symbols in the vdso image. The new code is used for all vdso variants, but so far only the 32-bit variants use the new vvar page position.

* x86, vdso: Reimplement vdso.so preparation in build-time CAndy Lutomirski2014-05-051-30/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, vdso.so files are prepared and analyzed by a combination of objcopy, nm, some linker script tricks, and some simple ELF parsers in the kernel. Replace all of that with plain C code that runs at build time. All five vdso images now generate .c files that are compiled and linked in to the kernel image. This should cause only one userspace-visible change: the loaded vDSO images are stripped more heavily than they used to be. Everything outside the loadable segment is dropped. In particular, this causes the section table and section name strings to be missing. This should be fine: real dynamic loaders don't load or inspect these tables anyway. The result is roughly equivalent to eu-strip's --strip-sections option. The purpose of this change is to enable the vvar and hpet mappings to be moved to the page following the vDSO load segment. Currently, it is possible for the section table to extend into the page after the load segment, so, if we map it, it risks overlapping the vvar or hpet page. This happens whenever the load segment is just under a multiple of PAGE_SIZE. The only real subtlety here is that the old code had a C file with inline assembler that did 'call VDSO32_vsyscall' and a linker script that defined 'VDSO32_vsyscall = __kernel_vsyscall'. This most likely worked by accident: the linker script entry defines a symbol associated with an address as opposed to an alias for the real dynamic symbol __kernel_vsyscall. That caused ld to relocate the reference at link time instead of leaving an interposable dynamic relocation. Since the VDSO32_vsyscall hack is no longer needed, I now use 'call __kernel_vsyscall', and I added -Bsymbolic to make it work. vdso2c will generate an error and abort the build if the resulting image contains any dynamic relocations, so we won't silently generate bad vdso images. (Dynamic relocations are a problem because nothing will even attempt to relocate the vdso.)

* x86, vdso: Move syscall and sysenter setup into kernel/cpu/common.cAndy Lutomirski2014-05-051-30/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This code is used during CPU setup, and it isn't strictly speaking related to the 32-bit vdso. It's easier to understand how this works when the code is closer to its callers. This also lets syscall32_cpu_init be static, which might save some trivial amount of kernel text.

* x86: Load the 32-bit vdso in place, just like the 64-bit vdsosAndy Lutomirski2014-03-201-21/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces a decent amount of incomprehensible and buggy code with much more straightforward code. It also brings the 32-bit vdso more in line with the 64-bit vdsos, so maybe someday they can share even more code. This wastes a small amount of kernel .data and .text space, but it avoids a couple of allocations on startup, so it should be more or less a wash memory-wise.

* | coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flagJason Baron2012-03-231-15/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types' of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this case). Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need for this flag. The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new 'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags: 'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the region. The qemu code which implements this features is at: http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this patch. I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are dumped. This patch: The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

* x86-64, mm: Initialize VDSO earlier on 64 bitsJiri Slaby2010-06-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When initrd is in use and a driver does request_module() in its module_init (i.e. __initcall or device_initcall), a modprobe process is created with VDSO mapping. But VDSO is inited even in __initcall, i.e. on the same level (at the same time), so it may not be inited yet (link order matters). Move the VDSO initialization code earlier by switching to something before rootfs_initcall where initrd is loaded as rootfs. Specifically to subsys_initcall. Do it for standard 64-bit path (init_vdso_vars) and for compat (sysenter_setup), just in case people have 32-bit initrd and ia32 emulation built-in. i386 (pure 32-bit) is not affected, since sysenter_setup() is called from check_bugs()->identify_boot_cpu() in start_kernel() before rest_init()->kernel_thread(kernel_init) where even kernel_init() calls do_basic_setup()->do_initcalls().

When it's disabled, we don't pass AT_SYSINFO_EHDR so processes don't use the vDSO for anything, but we still map it. For the non-compat vDSO, this means we're always putting an extra VMA somewhere, maybe lousing up the control of the address space the user was hoping for.

* x86 vDSO: consolidate vdso32Roland McGrath2008-01-301-26/+93
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes x86_64's ia32 emulation support share the sources used in the 32-bit kernel for the 32-bit vDSO and much of its setup code. The 32-bit vDSO mapping now behaves the same on x86_64 as on native 32-bit. The abi.syscall32 sysctl on x86_64 now takes the same values that vm.vdso_enabled takes on the 32-bit kernel. That is, 1 means a randomized vDSO location, 2 means the fixed old address. The CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO option is now available to make this the default setting, the same meaning it has for the 32-bit kernel. (This does not affect the 64-bit vDSO.) The argument vdso32=[012] can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to set this paramter at boot time. The vdso=[012] argument still does this same thing on the 32-bit kernel.

* x86 vDSO: vdso32 setupRoland McGrath2008-01-301-0/+344
This moves arch/x86/kernel/sysenter_32.c to arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-setup.c, keeping all the code relating only to vDSO magic in the vdso/ subdirectory. This is a pure renaming, but it paves the way to consolidating the code for dealing with 32-bit vDSOs across CONFIG_X86_32 and CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION.
