elf: init pt_regs pointer later
Get "current_pt_regs" pointer right before usage. Space savings on x86_64: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-180 (-180) Function old new delta load_elf_binary 5806 5626 -180 !!! Looks like the compiler doesn't know that "current_pt_regs" is stable pointer (because it doesn't know ->stack isn't) even though it knows that "current" is stable pointer. So it saves it in the very beginning and then tries to carry it through a lot of code. Here is what happens here: load_elf_binary() ... mov rax,QWORD PTR gs:0x14c00 mov r13,QWORD PTR [rax+0x18] r13 = current->stack call kmem_cache_alloc # first kmalloc [980 bytes later!] # let's spill that sucker because we need a register # for "load_bias" calculations at # # if (interpreter) { # load_bias = ELF_ET_DYN_BASE; # if (current->flags & PF_RANDOMIZE) # load_bias += arch_mmap_rnd(); # elf_flags |= elf_fixed; # } mov QWORD PTR [rsp+0x68],r13 If this is not _the_ root cause it is still eeeeh. After the patch things become much simpler: mov rax, QWORD PTR gs:0x14c00 # current mov rdx, QWORD PTR [rax+0x18] # current->stack movq [rdx+0x3fb8], 0 # fill pt_regs ... call finalize_exec Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190419200343.GA19788@avx2 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Tested-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
