[PATCH 4/8] x86: Add support for rd/wr fs/gs base
From: Andi Kleen
Date: Mon Nov 10 2014 - 18:56:26 EST
From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Introduction:
IvyBridge added four new instructions to directly write the fs and gs
64bit base registers. Previously this had to be done with a system
call to write to MSRs. The main use case is fast user space threading
and switching the fs/gs registers quickly there. Another use
case is having (relatively) cheap access to a new address
register per thread.
The instructions are opt-in and have to be explicitely enabled
by the OS.
For more details on how to use the instructions see
Documentation/x86/fsgs.txt added in a followon patch.
Paranoid exception path changes:
===============================
The paranoid entry/exit code is used for any NMI like
exception.
Previously Linux couldn't support the new instructions
because the paranoid entry code relied on the gs base never being
negative outside the kernel to decide when to use swaps. It would
check the gs MSR value and assume it was already running in
kernel if negative.
To get rid of this assumption we have to revamp the paranoid exception
path to not rely on this. We can use the new instructions
to get (relatively) quick access to the GS value, and use
it directly.
This is also significantly faster than a MSR read, so will speed
NMIs (critical for profiling)
The kernel gs for the paranoid path is now stored at the
bottom of the IST stack (so that it can be derived from RSP).
For this we need to know the size of the IST stack
(4K or 8K), which is now passed in as a stack parameter
to save_paranoid.
The original patch compared the gs with the kernel gs and
assumed that if it was identical, swapgs was not needed
(and no user space processing was needed). This
was nice and simple and didn't need a lot of changes.
But this had the side effect that if a user process set its
GS to the same as the kernel it may lose rescheduling
checks (so a racing reschedule IPI would have been
only acted upon the next non paranoid interrupt)
This version now switches to full save/restore of the GS.
This requires quite some changes in the paranoid path.
Unfortunately I didn't come up with a simpler scheme.
Previously we had a flag in EBX that indicated whether
SWAPGS needs to be called later or not. In the new scheme
this turns into a tristate, with a new "restore from R15"
mode that is used when the FSGSBASE instructions are available.
In this case the GS base is saved and restored.
The exit paths are all adjusted to handle this correctly.
There is one complication: to allow debuggers (especially
from the int3 or debug vectors) access to the user GS
we need to save it in the task struct. Normally
the next context switch would overwrite it with the wrong
value from kernel_gs, so we set new flag also in task_struct
that prevents it. The flag is cleared on context switch.
[Even with the additional flag the new FS/GS context switch
is vastly faster than the old MSR based version for bases >4GB]
To prevent recursive interrupts clobbering this
state in the task_struct this is only done for interrupts
coming directly from ring 3.
After a reschedule comes back we check if the flag is still
set. If it wasn't set the GS is back in the (swapped) kernel
gs so we revert to the SWAPGS mode, instead of restoring GS.
So the three possible states for the paranoid exit path are:
- Do nothing (pre FSGSBASE), if we interrupted the kernel
as determined by the existing negative GS
- Do swapgs, if we interrupted user space with positive GS
(pre FSGSBASE), or we saved gs, but it was overwritten
later by a context switch (with FSGSBASE)
- Restore from R15 (with FSGSBASE), if the gs base was saved
in R15, and not overwritten by a context switch.
Context switch changes:
======================
Then after these changes we need to also use the new instructions
to save/restore fs and gs, so that the new values set by the
users won't disappear. This is also significantly
faster for the case when the 64bit base has to be switched
(that is when GS is larger than 4GB), as we can replace
the slow MSR write with a faster wr[fg]sbase execution.
The instructions do not context switch
the segment index, so the old invariant that fs or gs index
have to be 0 for a different 64bit value to stick is still
true. Previously it was enforced by arch_prctl, now the user
program has to make sure it keeps the segment indexes zero.
If it doesn't the changes may not stick.
[Yes, this implies that programs can find out when they
got context switched. However they could already do that
before by checking the timing.]
This is in term enables fast switching when there are
enough threads that their TLS segment does not fit below 4GB,
or alternatively programs that use fs as an additional base
register will not get a sigificant context switch penalty.
It is all done in a single patch because there was no
simple way to do it in pieces without having crash
holes inbetween.
v2: Change to save/restore GS instead of using swapgs
based on the value. Large scale changes.
v3: Fix wrong flag initialization in fallback path.
Thanks 0day!
