[PATCH] arm64: cmpxchg_double*: hazard against entire exchange variable
From: Mark Rutland
Date: Wed Jan 04 2023 - 10:17:22 EST
The inline assembly for arm64's cmpxchg_double*() implementations use a
+Q constraint to hazard against other accesses to the memory location
being exchanged. However, the pointer passed to the constraint is a
pointer to unsigned long, and thus the hazard only applies to the first
8 bytes of the location.
GCC can take advantage of this, assuming that other portions of the
location are unchanged, leading to a number of potential problems.
This is similar to what we fixed back in commit:
fee960bed5e857eb ("arm64: xchg: hazard against entire exchange variable")
... but we forgot to adjust cmpxchg_double*() similarly at the same
time.
The same problem applies, as demonstrated with the following test:
| struct big {
| u64 lo, hi;
| } __aligned(128);
|
| unsigned long foo(struct big *b)
| {
| u64 hi_old, hi_new;
|
| hi_old = b->hi;
| cmpxchg_double_local(&b->lo, &b->hi, 0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78);
| hi_new = b->hi;
|
| return hi_old ^ hi_new;
| }
... which GCC 12.1.0 compiles as:
| 0000000000000000 <foo>:
| 0: d503233f paciasp
| 4: aa0003e4 mov x4, x0
| 8: 1400000e b 40 <foo+0x40>

| 5c: ca0100c6 eor x6, x6, x1
| 60: aa0600a6 orr x6, x5, x6
| 64: b5000066 cbnz x6, 70 <foo+0x70>
| 68: c8250c82 stxp w5, x2, x3, [x4]
| 6c: 35ffff45 cbnz w5, 54 <foo+0x54>

| 78: d65f03c0 ret
Notice that at the lines with "BANG" comments, GCC has assumed that the
higher 8 bytes are unchanged by the cmpxchg_double() call, and that
`hi_old ^ hi_new` can be reduced to a constant zero, for both LSE and
LL/SC versions of cmpxchg_double().
This patch fixes the issue by passing a pointer to __uint128_t into the
+Q constraint, ensuring that the compiler hazards against the entire 16
bytes being modified.
With this change, GCC 12.1.0 compiles the above test as:
| 0000000000000000 <foo>:
| 0: f9400407 ldr x7, [x0, #8]
| 4: d503233f paciasp

... sampling the high 8 bytes before and after the cmpxchg, and
performing an EOR, as we'd expect.
For backporting, I've tested this atop linux-4.9.y with GCC 5.5.0. Note
that linux-4.9.y is oldest currently supported stable release, and
mandates GCC 5.1+. Unfortunately I couldn't get a GCC 5.1 binary to run
on my machines due to library incompatibilities.
I've also used a standalone test to check that we can use a __uint128_t
pointer in a +Q constraint at least as far back as GCC 4.8.5 and LLVM
3.9.1.
