ARM: memmove: use frame pointer as unwind anchor

2021-12-03T14:11:32+00:00

The memmove routine is a bit unusual in the way it manages the stack pointer: depending on the execution path through the function, the SP assumes different values as different subsets of the register file are preserved and restored again. This is problematic when it comes to EHABI unwind info, as it is not instruction accurate, and does not allow tracking the SP value as it changes. Commit 207a6cb06990c ("ARM: 8224/1: Add unwinding support for memmove function") addressed this by carving up the function in different chunks as far as the unwinder is concerned, and keeping a set of unwind directives for each of them, each corresponding with the state of the stack pointer during execution of the chunk in question. This not only duplicates unwind info unnecessarily, but it also complicates unwinding the stack upon overflow. Instead, let's do what the compiler does when the SP is updated halfway through a function, which is to use a frame pointer and emit the appropriate unwind directives to communicate this to the unwinder. Note that Thumb-2 uses R7 for this, while ARM uses R11 aka FP. So let's avoid touching R7 in the body of the function, so that Thumb-2 can use it as the frame pointer. R11 was not modified in the first place. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Tested-by: Keith Packard Tested-by: Marc Zyngier Tested-by: Vladimir Murzin # ARMv7M

ARM: 9022/1: Change arch/arm/lib/mem*.S to use WEAK instead of .weak

2020-11-12T14:53:19+00:00

Commit d6d51a96c7d6 ("ARM: 9014/2: Replace string mem* functions for KASan") add .weak directives to memcpy/memmove/memset to avoid collision with KASAN interceptors. This does not work with LLVM's integrated assembler (the assembly snippet `.weak memcpy ... .globl memcpy` produces a STB_GLOBAL memcpy while GNU as produces a STB_WEAK memcpy). LLVM 12 (since https://reviews.llvm.org/D90108) will error on such an overridden symbol binding. Use the appropriate WEAK macro instead.

ARM: 9014/2: Replace string mem* functions for KASan

2020-10-27T12:11:06+00:00

Functions like memset()/memmove()/memcpy() do a lot of memory accesses. If a bad pointer is passed to one of these functions it is important to catch this. Compiler instrumentation cannot do this since these functions are written in assembly. KASan replaces these memory functions with instrumented variants. The original functions are declared as weak symbols so that the strong definitions in mm/kasan/kasan.c can replace them. The original functions have aliases with a '__' prefix in their name, so we can call the non-instrumented variant if needed. We must use __memcpy()/__memset() in place of memcpy()/memset() when we copy .data to RAM and when we clear .bss, because kasan_early_init cannot be called before the initialization of .data and .bss. For the kernel compression and EFI libstub's custom string libraries we need a special quirk: even if these are built without KASan enabled, they rely on the global headers for their custom string libraries, which means that e.g. memcpy() will be defined to __memcpy() and we get link failures. Since these implementations are written i C rather than assembly we use e.g. __alias(memcpy) to redirected any users back to the local implementation.

Revert "arm: move exports to definitions"

2016-11-23T10:00:03+00:00

This reverts commit 4dd1837d7589f468ed109556513f476e7a7f9121. Moving the exports for assembly code into the assembly files breaks KSYM trimming, but also breaks modversions. While fixing the KSYM trimming is trivial, fixing modversions brings us to a technically worse position that we had prior to the above change: - We end up with the prototype definitions divorsed from everything else, which means that adding or removing assembly level ksyms become more fragile: * if adding a new assembly ksyms export, a missed prototype in asm-prototypes.h results in a successful build if no module in the selected configuration makes use of the symbol. * when removing a ksyms export, asm-prototypes.h will get forgotten, with armksyms.c, you'll get a build error if you forget to touch the file. - We end up with the same amount of include files and prototypes, they're just in a header file instead of a .c file with their exports. As for lines of code, we don't get much of a size reduction: (original commit) 47 files changed, 131 insertions(+), 208 deletions(-) (fix for ksyms trimming) 7 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (two fixes for modversions) 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+) 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) which results in a net total of only 25 lines deleted. As there does not seem to be much benefit from this change of approach, revert the change. Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: 8224/1: Add unwinding support for memmove function

2014-11-27T16:00:24+00:00

The memmove function never had unwinding annotations added. Currently, when accessing invalid pointer by memmove occurs the backtrace shown will stop at memmove or some completely unrelated function. Add unwinding annotations in hopes of getting a more useful backtrace in following cases: 1. die on accessing invalid pointer by memmove 2. kprobe trapped at any instruction within memmove 3. interrupted at any instruction within memmove Signed-off-by: Lin Yongting Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: 7990/1: asm: rename logical shift macros push pull into lspush lspull

Renames logical shift macros, 'push' and 'pull', defined in arch/arm/include/asm/assembler.h, into 'lspush' and 'lspull'. That eliminates name conflict between 'push' logical shift macro and 'push' instruction mnemonic. That allows assembler.h to be included in .S files that use 'push' instruction.

ARM: 6006/1: ARM: Use the correct NOP size in memmove for Thumb-2 kernel builds

2010-03-29T16:33:33+00:00

When compiling the kernel to Thumb-2, using a 16-bit NOP in the memmove() implementation causes the preceding ADD PC instruction to branch incorrectly in the middle of a 32-bit LDR or STR instruction. The memmove() code is now similar to the memcpy() template. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas Signed-off-by: Russell King
