Gcc recently implemented an optimization [1] for loading symbols without
explicit alignment, aligning with the IBM Z ELF ABI. This ABI mandates
symbols to reside on a 2-byte boundary, enabling the use of the larl
instruction. However, kernel linker scripts may still generate unaligned
symbols. To address this, a new -munaligned-symbols option has been
introduced [2] in recent gcc versions.
[1] https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-June/622872.html
[2] https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-August/625986.html
However, when -munaligned-symbols is used in vdso code, it leads to the
following compilation error:
`.data.rel.ro.local' referenced in section `.text' of
arch/s390/kernel/vdso64/vdso64_generic.o: defined in discarded section
`.data.rel.ro.local' of arch/s390/kernel/vdso64/vdso64_generic.o
vdso linker script discards .data section to make it lightweight.
However, -munaligned-symbols in vdso object files references literal
pool and accesses _vdso_data. Hence, compile vdso code without
-munaligned-symbols. This means in the future, vdso code should deal
with alignment of newly introduced unaligned linker symbols.

'-fPIC' as an option to the linker does not do what it seems like it
should. With ld.bfd, it is treated as '-f PIC', which does not make
sense based on the meaning of '-f':
-f SHLIB, --auxiliary SHLIB Auxiliary filter for shared object symbol table
When building with ld.lld (currently under review in a GitHub pull
request), it just errors out because '-f' means nothing and neither does
'-fPIC':
ld.lld: error: unknown argument '-fPIC'
'-fPIC' was blindly copied from CFLAGS when the vDSO stopped being
linked with '$(CC)', it should not be needed. Remove it to clear up the
build failure with ld.lld.

Currently, there is no standard implementation for vdso_install,
leading to various issues:
1. Code duplication
Many architectures duplicate similar code just for copying files
to the install destination.
Some architectures (arm, sparc, x86) create build-id symlinks,
introducing more code duplication.
2. Unintended updates of in-tree build artifacts
The vdso_install rule depends on the vdso files to install.
It may update in-tree build artifacts. This can be problematic,
as explained in commit 19514fc665 ("arm, kbuild: make
"make install" not depend on vmlinux").
3. Broken code in some architectures
Makefile code is often copied from one architecture to another
without proper adaptation.
'make vdso_install' for parisc does not work.
'make vdso_install' for s390 installs vdso64, but not vdso32.
To address these problems, this commit introduces a generic vdso_install
rule.
Architectures that support vdso_install need to define vdso-install-y
in arch/*/Makefile. vdso-install-y lists the files to install.
For example, arch/x86/Makefile looks like this:
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_64) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdsox32.so.dbg
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_32) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
These files will be installed to $(MODLIB)/vdso/ with the .dbg suffix,
if exists, stripped away.
vdso-install-y can optionally take the second field after the colon
separator. This is needed because some architectures install a vdso
file as a different base name.
The following is a snippet from arch/arm64/Makefile.
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO) += arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.dbg:vdso32.so
This will rename vdso.so.dbg to vdso32.so during installation. If such
architectures change their implementation so that the base names match,
this workaround will go away.

The actual intention is that no dynamic relocation exists in the VDSO. For
this the VDSO build validates that the resulting .so file does not have any
relocations which are specified via $(ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS) per architecture,
which is fragile as e.g. ARM64 lacks an entry for R_AARCH64_RELATIVE. Aside
of that ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS is a misnomer as it checks for relative
relocations too.
However, some GNU ld ports produce unneeded R_*_NONE relocation entries. If
a port fails to determine the exact .rel[a].dyn size, the trailing zeros
become R_*_NONE relocations. E.g. ld's powerpc port recently fixed
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29540). R_*_NONE are
generally a no-op in the dynamic loaders. So just ignore them.
Remove the ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS defines and just validate that the resulting
.so file does not contain any R_* relocation entries except R_*_NONE.

The compiler's '-s' flag is a linking option (it is passed along to the

stops the compilation pipeline before linking, so '-s' can be safely

When CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is disabled, the user can enable CONFIG_STACK_CHECK,
which adds a stack overflow check to each C function in the kernel. This is
also done for functions in the vdso page. These functions are run in user

This might trigger the stack check although the stack size is valid.
Therefore filter the -mstack-guard and -mstack-size flags when compiling

Add a small vdso for 31 bit compat application that provides

This is requird for moving these syscalls away from the signal

doesn't support 31 bit mode.
We want to redirect sigreturn and restart_syscall to the vdso. However,

Remove set_fs support from s390. With doing this rework address space
handling and simplify it. As a result address spaces are now setup
like this:
CPU running in | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE | %cr13 ASCE
----------------------------|-----------|-----------|-----------
user space | user | user | kernel
kernel, normal execution | kernel | user | kernel
kernel, kvm guest execution | gmap | user | kernel
To achieve this the getcpu vdso syscall is removed in order to avoid
secondary address mode and a separate vdso address space in for user
space. The getcpu vdso syscall will be implemented differently with a
subsequent patch.
The kernel accesses user space always via secondary address space.
This happens in different ways:
- with mvcos in home space mode and directly read/write to secondary
address space
- with mvcs/mvcp in primary space mode and copy from primary space to
secondary space or vice versa
- with e.g. cs in secondary space mode and access secondary space
Switching translation modes happens with sacf before and after
instructions which access user space, like before.
Lazy handling of control register reloading is removed in the hope to
make everything simpler, but at the cost of making kernel entry and
exit a bit slower. That is: on kernel entry the primary asce is always
changed to contain the kernel asce, and on kernel exit the primary
asce is changed again so it contains the user asce.
In kernel mode there is only one exception to the primary asce: when
kvm guests are executed the primary asce contains the gmap asce (which
describes the guest address space). The primary asce is reset to
kernel asce whenever kvm guest execution is interrupted, so that this
doesn't has to be taken into account for any user space accesses.

Convert s390 to generic vDSO. There are a few special things on s390:
- vDSO can be called without a stack frame - glibc did this in the past.
So we need to allocate a stackframe on our own.
- The former assembly code used stcke to get the TOD clock and applied
time steering to it. We need to do the same in the new code. This is done
in the architecture specific __arch_get_hw_counter function. The steering
information is stored in an architecure specific area in the vDSO data.
- CPUCLOCK_VIRT is now handled with a syscall fallback, which might
be slower/less accurate than the old implementation.
The getcpu() function stays as an assembly function because there is no
generic implementation and the code is just a few lines.
Performance number from my system do 100 mio gettimeofday() calls:
Plain syscall: 8.6s
Generic VDSO: 1.3s
old ASM VDSO: 1s
So it's a bit slower but still much faster than syscalls.

Currently, the VDSO is being linked through $(CC). This does not match
how the rest of the kernel links objects, which is through the $(LD)
variable.
When clang is built in a default configuration, it first attempts to use
the target triple's default linker, which is just ld. However, the user
can override this through the CLANG_DEFAULT_LINKER cmake define so that
clang uses another linker by default, such as LLVM's own linker, ld.lld.
This can be useful to get more optimized links across various different
projects.
However, this is problematic for the s390 vDSO because ld.lld does not
have any s390 emulatiom support:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/llvmorg-10.0.1-rc1/lld/ELF/Driver.cpp#L132-L150
Thus, if a user is using a toolchain with ld.lld as the default, they
will see an error, even if they have specified ld.bfd through the LD
make variable:
$ make -j"$(nproc)" -s ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- LLVM=1 \
LD=s390x-linux-gnu-ld \
defconfig arch/s390/kernel/vdso64/
ld.lld: error: unknown emulation: elf64_s390
clang-11: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Normally, '-fuse-ld=bfd' could be used to get around this; however, this
can be fragile, depending on paths and variable naming. The cleaner
solution for the kernel is to take advantage of the fact that $(LD) can
be invoked directly, which bypasses the heuristics of $(CC) and respects
the user's choice. Similar changes have been done for ARM, ARM64, and
MIPS.

Using perf probe and libdw on kernel modules failed to find CFI
data for symbols. The CFI data is stored in the .eh_frame section.
The elfutils libdw is not able to extract the CFI data correctly,
because the .eh_frame section requires "non-simple" relocations
for kernel modules.
The suggestion is to avoid these "non-simple" relocations by emitting
the CFI data in the .debug_frame section. Let gcc emit respective
directives by specifying the -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables option.
Using the .debug_frame section for CFI data, the .eh_frame section
becomes unused and, thus, discard it for kernel and modules builds
The vDSO requires the .eh_frame section and, hence, emit the CFI data
in both, the .eh_frame and .debug_frame sections.

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

Now that hopefully all inline assemblies have been converted to single
basic blocks we can enable kcov on s390.
Note that this patch does not disable as many files on s390 like the
x86 variant does. Right now I didn't see a reason to do that, however
additional files or directories can be excluded at any time.
The runtime overhead seems to be quite high.

Add the CPU number to the per-cpu vdso data page and add the
__kernel_getcpu function to the vdso object to retrieve the
CPU number in user space.

As proposed by Andy Lutomirski create the SysV and the GNU hash
for the vdso objects. This may make some dynamic loaders a bit
faster.

The concepts of VDSO and gcov-based profiling don't mix: the former
includes kernel-provided code running in userspace, the latter adds
instructions that modify counters in kernel data segments. On s390
this has not been a problem so far due to VDSO code being written in
all-assembler which is exempt from gcov-based profiling. This could
change in the future, so disable profiling excplicitly for VDSO code.

ld-option is misnamed as it test options to gcc, not to ld.
Renamed it to reflect this.
