x86/headers: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in non-UAPI headers

2025-03-19T10:47:30+00:00

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with UAPI headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now. This is mostly a mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), with some manual tweaks in , and that mentioned this macro in comments with some missing underscores.

x86/asm: Drop unused RDPID macro

2020-11-26T11:58:56+00:00

Drop the GAS-compatible RDPID macro. RDPID is unsafe in the kernel because KVM loads guest's TSC_AUX on VM-entry and may not restore the host's value until the CPU returns to userspace. See 6a3ea3e68b8a ("x86/entry/64: Do not use RDPID in paranoid entry to accomodate KVM") for details. It can always be resurrected from git history, if needed.

Pull x86 fsgsbase from Thomas Gleixner: "Support for FSGSBASE. Almost 5 years after the first RFC to support it, this has been brought into a shape which is maintainable and actually works. This final version was done by Sasha Levin who took it up after Intel dropped the ball. Sasha discovered that the SGX (sic!) offerings out there ship rogue kernel modules enabling FSGSBASE behind the kernels back which opens an instantanious unpriviledged root hole. The FSGSBASE instructions provide a considerable speedup of the context switch path and enable user space to write GSBASE without kernel interaction. This enablement requires careful handling of the exception entries which go through the paranoid entry path as they can no longer rely on the assumption that user GSBASE is positive (as enforced via prctl() on non FSGSBASE enabled systemn). All other entries (syscalls, interrupts and exceptions) can still just utilize SWAPGS unconditionally when the entry comes from user space. Converting these entries to use FSGSBASE has no benefit as SWAPGS is only marginally slower than WRGSBASE and locating and retrieving the kernel GSBASE value is not a free operation either. The real benefit of RD/WRGSBASE is the avoidance of the MSR reads and writes. The changes come with appropriate selftests and have held up in field testing against the (sanitized) Graphene-SGX driver" * tag 'x86-fsgsbase-2020-08-04' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (21 commits) x86/fsgsbase: Fix Xen PV support x86/ptrace: Fix 32-bit PTRACE_SETREGS vs fsbase and gsbase selftests/x86/fsgsbase: Add a missing memory constraint selftests/x86/fsgsbase: Fix a comment in the ptrace_write_gsbase test selftests/x86: Add a syscall_arg_fault_64 test for negative GSBASE selftests/x86/fsgsbase: Test ptracer-induced GS base write with FSGSBASE selftests/x86/fsgsbase: Test GS selector on ptracer-induced GS base write Documentation/x86/64: Add documentation for GS/FS addressing mode x86/elf: Enumerate kernel FSGSBASE capability in AT_HWCAP2 x86/cpu: Enable FSGSBASE on 64bit by default and add a chicken bit x86/entry/64: Handle FSGSBASE enabled paranoid entry/exit x86/entry/64: Introduce the FIND_PERCPU_BASE macro x86/entry/64: Switch CR3 before SWAPGS in paranoid entry x86/speculation/swapgs: Check FSGSBASE in enabling SWAPGS mitigation x86/process/64: Use FSGSBASE instructions on thread copy and ptrace x86/process/64: Use FSBSBASE in switch_to() if available x86/process/64: Make save_fsgs_for_kvm() ready for FSGSBASE x86/fsgsbase/64: Enable FSGSBASE instructions in helper functions x86/fsgsbase/64: Add intrinsics for FSGSBASE instructions x86/cpu: Add 'unsafe_fsgsbase' to enable CR4.FSGSBASE ...

Current minimum required version of binutils is 2.23, which supports PSHUFB, PCLMULQDQ, PEXTRD, AESKEYGENASSIST, AESIMC, AESENC, AESENCLAST, AESDEC, AESDECLAST and MOVQ instruction mnemonics. Substitute macros from include/asm/inst.h with a proper instruction mnemonics in various assmbly files from x86/crypto directory, and remove now unneeded file. The patch was tested by calculating and comparing sha256sum hashes of stripped object files before and after the patch, to be sure that executable code didn't change.

x86/entry/64: Introduce the FIND_PERCPU_BASE macro

2020-06-18T13:47:04+00:00

GSBASE is used to find per-CPU data in the kernel. But when GSBASE is unknown, the per-CPU base can be found from the per_cpu_offset table with a CPU NR. The CPU NR is extracted from the limit field of the CPUNODE entry in GDT, or by the RDPID instruction. This is a prerequisite for using FSGSBASE in the low level entry code. Also, add the GAS-compatible RDPID macro as binutils 2.23 do not support it. Support is added in version 2.27. [ tglx: Massaged changelog ] Suggested-by: H. Peter Anvin Signed-off-by: Chang S.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

x86, crc32-pclmul: Fix build with older binutils

2013-05-30T23:36:23+00:00

binutils prior to 2.18 (e.g. the ones found on SLE10) don't support assembling PEXTRD, so a macro based approach like the one for PCLMULQDQ in the same file should be used. This requires making the helper macros capable of recognizing 32-bit general purpose register operands.
