2016-02-18x86/mm: Expand the exception table logic to allow new handling optionsTony Luck
Huge amounts of help from Andy Lutomirski and Borislav Petkov to produce this. Andy provided the inspiration to add classes to the exception table with a clever bit-squeezing trick, Boris pointed out how much cleaner it would all be if we just had a new field. Linus Torvalds blessed the expansion with: ' I'd rather not be clever in order to save just a tiny amount of space in the exception table, which isn't really criticial for anybody. ' The third field is another relative function pointer, this one to a handler that executes the actions. We start out with three handlers: 1: Legacy - just jumps the to fixup IP 2: Fault - provide the trap number in %ax to the fixup code 3: Cleaned up legacy for the uaccess error hack Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/f6af78fcbd348cf4939875cfda9c19689b5e50b8.1455732970.git.tony.luck@intel.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2014-04-24kprobes: Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro to maintain kprobes blacklistMasami Hiramatsu
Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro which builds a kprobes blacklist at kernel build time. The usage of this macro is similar to EXPORT_SYMBOL(), placed after the function definition: NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(function); Since this macro will inhibit inlining of static/inline functions, this patch also introduces a nokprobe_inline macro for static/inline functions. In this case, we must use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() for the inline function caller. When CONFIG_KPROBES=y, the macro stores the given function address in the "_kprobe_blacklist" section. Since the data structures are not fully initialized by the macro (because there is no "size" information), those are re-initialized at boot time by using kallsyms.

2013-08-29x86, asm: Extend definitions of _ASM_* with a raw formatJan-Simon Möller
The __ASM_* macros (e.g. __ASM_DX) are used to return the proper register name (e.g. edx for 32bit / rdx for 64bit). We want to use this also in arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h / get_user() . For this to work, we need a raw form as both gcc and clang choke on the whitespace in a register asm() statement, and the __ASM_FORM macro surrounds the argument with blanks. A new macro, __ASM_FORM_RAW was added and we change __ASM_REG to use the new RAW form.

2012-04-20x86, extable: Switch to relative exception table entriesH. Peter Anvin
Switch to using relative exception table entries on x86. On i386, this has the advantage that the exception table entries don't need to be relocated; on x86-64 this means the exception table entries take up only half the space. In either case, a 32-bit delta is sufficient, as the range of kernel code addresses is limited. Since part of the goal is to avoid needing to adjust the entries when the kernel is relocated, the old trick of using addresses in the NULL pointer range to indicate uaccess_err no longer works (and unlike RISC architectures we can't use a flag bit); instead use an delta just below +2G to indicate these special entries. The reach is still limited to a single instruction. Signed-off-by: H.

2011-07-21x86: Fix write lock scalability 64-bit issueJan Beulich
With the write lock path simply subtracting RW_LOCK_BIAS there is, on large systems, the theoretical possibility of overflowing the 32-bit value that was used so far (namely if 128 or more CPUs manage to do the subtraction, but don't get to do the inverse addition in the failure path quickly enough). A first measure is to modify RW_LOCK_BIAS itself - with the new value chosen, it is good for up to 2048 CPUs each allowed to nest over 2048 times on the read path without causing an issue. Quite possibly it would even be sufficient to adjust the bias a little further, assuming that allowing for significantly less nesting would suffice. However, as the original value chosen allowed for even more nesting levels, to support more than 2048 CPUs (possible currently only for 64-bit kernels) the lock itself gets widened to 64 bits.
