[PATCH v2 00/12] x86: major paravirt cleanup
Posted by Juergen Gross 3 years, 4 months ago
This is a major cleanup of the paravirt infrastructure aiming at
eliminating all custom code patching via paravirt patching.

This is achieved by using ALTERNATIVE instead, leading to the ability
to give objtool access to the patched in instructions.

In order to remove most of the 32-bit special handling from pvops the
time related operations are switched to use static_call() instead.

At the end of this series all paravirt patching has to do is to
replace indirect calls with direct ones. In a further step this could
be switched to static_call(), too, but that would require a major
header file disentangling.

Note that an updated objtool is needed for this series, as otherwise
lots of warnings due to alternative instructions modifying the stack
will be issued during the build.

Changes in V2:
- added patches 5-12

Juergen Gross (12):
  x86/xen: use specific Xen pv interrupt entry for MCE
  x86/xen: use specific Xen pv interrupt entry for DF
  x86/pv: switch SWAPGS to ALTERNATIVE
  x86/xen: drop USERGS_SYSRET64 paravirt call
  x86: rework arch_local_irq_restore() to not use popf
  x86/paravirt: switch time pvops functions to use static_call()
  x86: add new features for paravirt patching
  x86/paravirt: remove no longer needed 32-bit pvops cruft
  x86/paravirt: switch iret pvops to ALTERNATIVE
  x86/paravirt: add new macros PVOP_ALT* supporting pvops in
    ALTERNATIVEs
  x86/paravirt: switch functions with custom code to ALTERNATIVE
  x86/paravirt: have only one paravirt patch function

Much awesome ! I'll try and get that objtool thing sorted.

This seems to work for me. It isn't 100% accurate, because it doesn't
know about the direct call instruction, but I can either fudge that or
switching to static_call() will cure that.

It's not exactly pretty, but it should be straight forward.

Are you planning to send this out as an "official" patch, or should I
include it in my series (in this case I'd need a variant with a proper
commit message)?

I'd like to have this settled soon, as I'm going to send V2 of my
series hopefully this week.

Ah, I was waiting for Josh to have an opinion (and then sorta forgot
about the whole thing again). Let me refresh and provide at least a
Changelog.

Subject: objtool: Alternatives vs ORC, the hard way
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2020 14:43:17 +0100

Alternatives pose an interesting problem for unwinders because from
the unwinders PoV we're just executing instructions, it has no idea
the text is modified, nor any way of retrieving what with.

Therefore the stance has been that alternatives must not change stack
state, as encoded by commit: 7117f16bf460 ("objtool: Fix ORC vs
alternatives"). This obviously guarantees that whatever actual
instructions end up in the text, the unwind information is correct.

However, there is one additional source of text patching that isn't
currently visible to objtool: paravirt immediate patching. And it
turns out one of these violates the rule.

As part of cleaning that up, the unfortunate reality is that objtool
now has to deal with alternatives modifying unwind state and validate
the combination is valid and generate ORC data to match.

The problem is that a single instance of unwind information (ORC) must
capture and correctly unwind all alternatives. Since the trivially
correct mandate is out, implement the straight forward brute-force
approach:

 1) generate CFI information for each alternative

 2) unwind every alternative with the merge-sort of the previously
    generated CFI information -- O(n^2)

 3) for any possible conflict: yell.

 4) Generate ORC with merge-sort

Specifically for 3 there are two possible classes of conflicts:

 - the merge-sort itself could find conflicting CFI for the same
   offset.

 - the unwind can fail with the merged CFI.

In specific, this allows us to deal with:

	Alt1			Alt2			Alt3

 0x00	CALL *pv_ops.save_fl	CALL xen_save_fl	PUSHF
 0x01							POP %RAX
 0x02							NOP
 ...
 0x05				NOP
 ...
 0x07   <insn>

The unwind information for offset-0x00 is identical for all 3
alternatives. Similarly offset-0x05 and higher also are identical (and
the same as 0x00). However offset-0x01 has deviating CFI, but that is
only relevant for Alt3, neither of the other alternative instruction
streams will ever hit that offset.

So much algorithm.  Could we make it easier by caching the shared
per-alt-group CFI state somewhere along the way?

For example:

struct alt_group_info {

	/* first original insn in the group */
	struct instruction *orig_insn;

	/* max # of bytes in the group (cfi array size) */
	unsigned long nbytes;

	/* byte-offset-addressed array of CFI pointers */
	struct cfi_state **cfi;
};

We could change 'insn->alt_group' to be a pointer to a shared instance
of the above struct, so that all original and replacement instructions
in a group have a pointer to it.

Starting out, 'cfi' array is all NULLs.  Then when updating CFI, check
'insn->alt_group.cfi[offset]'.

[ 'offset' is a byte offset from the beginning of the group.  It could
  be calculated based on 'orig_insn' or 'orig_insn->alts', depending on
  whether 'insn' is an original or a replacement. ]

If the array entry is NULL, just update it with a pointer to the CFI.
If it's not NULL, make sure it matches the existing CFI, and WARN if it
doesn't.

Also, with this data structure, the ORC generation should also be a lot
more straightforward, just ignore the NULL entries.

Thoughts?  This is all theoretical of course, I could try to do a patch
tomorrow.

It's not really hard, but it has a few pesky details (as always).

Yes, but when I tried it grew the code required. Runtime costs would be
less, but I figured that since alternatives are typically few and small,
that wasn't a real consideration.

That is, it would basically cache the results of find_alt_unwind(), but
you still need find_alt_unwind() to generate that data, and so you gain
the code for filling and using the extra data structure.

Yes, computing it 3 times is naf, but meh.

That's exactly what it already does ofcourse ;-)

Yeah, I suppose it gets rid of the memcmp-prev thing.

No real objection, I just didn't do it because 1) it works, and 2) even
moar lines.

It really hurt my brain to look at it.

Aren't alternatives going to be everywhere now with paravirt using them?

I'm kind of surprised it would need moar lines.  Let me play around with
it and maybe I'll come around ;-)

What I meant was, they're either 2-3 wide and only a few instructions
long. Which greatly bounds the actual complexity of the algorithm,
however daft.

Please do, it could be getting all the niggly bits right exhausted my
brain enough to miss the obvious ;-)
