x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, third try

2020-05-20T06:22:30+00:00

commit a9a3ed1eff3601b63aea4fb462d8b3b92c7c1e7e upstream. ... or the odyssey of trying to disable the stack protector for the function which generates the stack canary value. The whole story started with Sergei reporting a boot crash with a kernel built with gcc-10: Kernel panic — not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 5.6.0-rc5—00235—gfffb08b37df9 #139 Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. To be filled by O.E.M./H77M—D3H, BIOS F12 11/14/2013 Call Trace: dump_stack panic ? start_secondary __stack_chk_fail start_secondary secondary_startup_64 -—-[ end Kernel panic — not syncing: stack—protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary This happens because gcc-10 tail-call optimizes the last function call in start_secondary() - cpu_startup_entry() - and thus emits a stack canary check which fails because the canary value changes after the boot_init_stack_canary() call. To fix that, the initial attempt was to mark the one function which generates the stack canary with: __attribute__((optimize("-fno-stack-protector"))) ... start_secondary(void *unused) however, using the optimize attribute doesn't work cumulatively as the attribute does not add to but rather replaces previously supplied optimization options - roughly all -fxxx options. The key one among them being -fno-omit-frame-pointer and thus leading to not present frame pointer - frame pointer which the kernel needs. The next attempt to prevent compilers from tail-call optimizing the last function call cpu_startup_entry(), shy of carving out start_secondary() into a separate compilation unit and building it with -fno-stack-protector, was to add an empty asm(""). This current solution was short and sweet, and reportedly, is supported by both compilers but we didn't get very far this time: future (LTO?) optimization passes could potentially eliminate this, which leads us to the third attempt: having an actual memory barrier there which the compiler cannot ignore or move around etc. That should hold for a long time, but hey we said that about the other two solutions too so...

bootconfig: Fix to prevent warning message if no bootconfig option

2020-05-20T06:22:25+00:00

commit 611d0a95d46b0977a530b4d538948c69d447b001 upstream. Commit de462e5f1071 ("bootconfig: Fix to remove bootconfig data from initrd while boot") causes a cosmetic regression on dmesg, which warns "no bootconfig data" message without bootconfig cmdline option. Fix setup_boot_config() by moving no bootconfig check after commandline option check.

bootconfig: Fix to remove bootconfig data from initrd while boot

2020-05-20T06:22:25+00:00

commit de462e5f10718517bacf2f84c8aa2804567ef7df upstream. If there is a bootconfig data in the tail of initrd/initramfs, initrd image sanity check caused an error while decompression stage as follows. [ 0.883882] Unpacking initramfs... [ 2.696429] Initramfs unpacking failed: invalid magic at start of compressed archive This error will be ignored if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=n, but CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y the kernel failed to mount rootfs and causes a panic. To fix this issue, shrink down the initrd_end for removing tailing bootconfig data while boot the kernel.

printk: queue wake_up_klogd irq_work only if per-CPU areas are ready

2020-05-02T06:50:39+00:00

commit ab6f762f0f53162d41497708b33c9a3236d3609e upstream. printk_deferred(), similarly to printk_safe/printk_nmi, does not immediately attempt to print a new message on the consoles, avoiding calls into non-reentrant kernel paths, e.g. scheduler or timekeeping, which potentially can deadlock the system. Those printk() flavors, instead, rely on per-CPU flush irq_work to print messages from safer contexts. For same reasons (recursive scheduler or timekeeping calls) printk() uses per-CPU irq_work in order to wake up user space syslog/kmsg readers. However, only printk_safe/printk_nmi do make sure that per-CPU areas have been initialised and that it's safe to modify per-CPU irq_work. This means that, for instance, should printk_deferred() be invoked "too early", that is before per-CPU areas are initialised, printk_deferred() will perform illegal per-CPU access. Lech Perczak [0] reports that after commit 1b710b1b10ef ("char/random: silence a lockdep splat with printk()") user-space syslog/kmsg readers are not able to read new kernel messages. The reason is printk_deferred() being called too early (as was pointed out by Petr and John). Fix printk_deferred() and do not queue per-CPU irq_work before per-CPU areas are initialized.

bootconfig: Print array as multiple commands for legacy command line

2020-02-20T22:56:29+00:00

Print arraied values as multiple same options for legacy kernel command line. With this rule, if the "kernel.*" and "init.*" array entries in bootconfig are printed out as multiple same options, e.g. kernel { console = "ttyS0,115200" console += "tty0" } will be correctly converted to console="ttyS0,115200" console="tty0" in the kernel command line.

bootconfig: Add bootconfig magic word for indicating bootconfig explicitly

2020-02-20T22:52:34+00:00

Add bootconfig magic word to the end of bootconfig on initrd image for indicating explicitly the bootconfig is there. Also tools/bootconfig treats wrong size or wrong checksum or parse error as an error, because if there is a bootconfig magic word, there must be a bootconfig. The bootconfig magic word is "#BOOTCONFIG\n", 12 bytes word. Thus the block image of the initrd file with bootconfig is as follows. [Initrd][bootconfig][size][csum][#BOOTCONFIG\n] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/158220112263.26565.3944814205960612841.stgit@devnote2 Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)
