2021-04-14lib/vdso: Add vdso_data pointer as input to __arch_get_timens_vdso_data()Christophe Leroy
For the same reason as commit e876f0b69dc9 ("lib/vdso: Allow architectures to provide the vdso data pointer"), powerpc wants to avoid calculation of relative position to code. As the timens_vdso_data is next page to vdso_data, provide vdso_data pointer to __arch_get_timens_vdso_data() in order to ease the calculation on powerpc in following patches.

2020-08-06vdso/treewide: Add vdso_data pointer argument to __arch_get_hw_counter()Thomas Gleixner
MIPS already uses and S390 will need the vdso data pointer in __arch_get_hw_counter(). This works nicely as long as the architecture does not support time namespaces in the VDSO. With time namespaces enabled the regular accessor to the vdso data pointer __arch_get_vdso_data() will return the namespace specific VDSO data page for tasks which are part of a non-root time namespace. This would cause the architectures which need the vdso data pointer in __arch_get_hw_counter() to access the wrong vdso data page. Add a vdso_data pointer argument to __arch_get_hw_counter() and hand it in from the call sites in the core code. For architectures which do not need the data pointer in their counter accessor function the compiler will just optimize it out. Fix up all existing architecture implementations and make MIPS utilize the pointer instead of invoking the accessor function. No functional change and no change in the resulting object code (except MIPS).

2020-06-09lib/vdso: Provide sanity check for cycles (again)Thomas Gleixner
The original x86 VDSO implementation checked for the validity of the clock source read by testing whether the returned signed cycles value is less than zero. This check was also used by the vdso read function to signal that the current selected clocksource is not VDSO capable. During the rework of the VDSO code the check was removed and replaced with a check for the clocksource mode being != NONE. This turned out to be a mistake because the check is necessary for paravirt and hyperv clock sources. The reason is that these clock sources have their own internal sequence counter to validate the clocksource at the point of reading it. This is necessary because the hypervisor can invalidate the clocksource asynchronously so a check during the VDSO data update is not sufficient. Having a separate indicator for the validity is slower than just validating the cycles value. The check for it being negative turned out to be the fastest implementation and safe as it would require an uptime of ~73 years with a 4GHz counter frequency to result in a false positive. Add an optional function to validate the cycles with a default implementation which allows the compiler to optimize it out for architectures which do not require it.

2020-06-03lib/vdso: Force inlining of __cvdso_clock_gettime_common()Christophe Leroy
When adding gettime64() to a 32 bit architecture (namely powerpc/32) it has been noticed that GCC doesn't inline anymore __cvdso_clock_gettime_common() because it is called twice (Once by __cvdso_clock_gettime() and once by __cvdso_clock_gettime32). This has the effect of seriously degrading the performance: Before the implementation of gettime64(), gettime() runs in: clock-gettime-monotonic-raw: vdso: 1003 nsec/call clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 592 nsec/call clock-gettime-monotonic: vdso: 942 nsec/call When adding a gettime64() entry point, the standard gettime() performance is degraded by 30% to 50%: clock-gettime-monotonic-raw: vdso: 1300 nsec/call clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 900 nsec/call clock-gettime-monotonic: vdso: 1232 nsec/call Adding __always_inline() to __cvdso_clock_gettime_common() regains the original performance. In terms of code size, the inlining increases the code size by only 176 bytes. This is in the noise for a kernel image.

On powerpc, __arch_get_vdso_data() clobbers the link register, requiring the caller to save it. As the parent function already has to set a stack frame and saves the link register before calling the C vdso function, retrieving the vdso data pointer there is less overhead.

2020-02-17lib/vdso: Allow architectures to override the ns shift operationChristophe Leroy
On powerpc/32, GCC (8.1) generates pretty bad code for the ns >>= vd->shift operation taking into account that the shift is always <= 32 and the upper part of the result is likely to be zero. GCC makes reversed assumptions considering the shift to be likely >= 32 and the upper part to be like not zero. unsigned long long shift(unsigned long long x, unsigned char s) { return x >> s; } results in: 00000018 <shift>: 18: 35 25 ff e0 addic. r9,r5,-32 1c: 41 80 00 10 blt 2c <shift+0x14> 20: 7c 64 4c 30 srw r4,r3,r9 24: 38 60 00 00 li r3,0 28: 4e 80 00 20 blr 2c: 54 69 08 3c rlwinm r9,r3,1,0,30 30: 21 45 00 1f subfic r10,r5,31 34: 7c 84 2c 30 srw r4,r4,r5 38: 7d 29 50 30 slw r9,r9,r10 3c: 7c 63 2c 30 srw r3,r3,r5 40: 7d 24 23 78 or r4,r9,r4 44: 4e 80 00 20 blr Even when forcing the shift to be smaller than 32 with an &= 31, it still considers the shift as likely >= 32.

2020-01-14lib/vdso: Prepare for time namespace supportThomas Gleixner
To support time namespaces in the vdso with a minimal impact on regular non time namespace affected tasks, the namespace handling needs to be hidden in a slow path. The most obvious place is vdso_seq_begin(). If a task belongs to a time namespace then the VVAR page which contains the system wide vdso data is replaced with a namespace specific page which has the same layout as the VVAR page. That page has vdso_data->seq set to 1 to enforce the slow path and vdso_data->clock_mode set to VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time namespace handling path. The extra check in the case that vdso_data->seq is odd, e.g. a concurrent update of the vdso data is in progress, is not really affecting regular tasks which are not part of a time namespace as the task is spin waiting for the update to finish and vdso_data->seq to become even again. If a time namespace task hits that code path, it invokes the corresponding time getter function which retrieves the real VVAR page, reads host time and then adds the offset for the requested clock which is stored in the special VVAR page. If VDSO time namespace support is disabled the whole magic is compiled out. Initial testing shows that the disabled case is almost identical to the host case which does not take the slow timens path. With the special timens page installed the performance hit is constant time and in the range of 5-7%. For the vdso functions which are not using the sequence count an unconditional check for vdso_data->clock_mode is added which switches to the real vdso when the clock_mode is VCLOCK_TIMENS.

The 32bit variants of vdso_clock_gettime()/getres() have a NULL pointer check for the timespec pointer. That's inconsistent vs. 64bit. But the vdso implementation will never be consistent versus the syscall because the only case which it can handle is NULL. Any other invalid pointer will cause a segfault. So special casing NULL is not really useful. Remove it along with the superflouos syscall fallback invocation as that will return -EFAULT anyway. That also gets rid of the dubious typecast which only works because the pointer is NULL.

2019-06-26lib/vdso: Make delta calculation work correctlyThomas Gleixner
The x86 vdso implementation on which the generic vdso library is based on has subtle (unfortunately undocumented) twists: 1) The code assumes that the clocksource mask is U64_MAX which means that no bits are masked. Which is true for any valid x86 VDSO clocksource. Stupidly it still did the mask operation for no reason and at the wrong place right after reading the clocksource. 2) It contains a sanity check to catch the case where slightly unsynchronized TSC values can be observed which would cause the delta calculation to make a huge jump. It therefore checks whether the current TSC value is larger than the value on which the current conversion is based on. If it's not larger the base value is used to prevent time jumps. #1 Is not only stupid for the X86 case because it does the masking for no reason it is also completely wrong for clocksources with a smaller mask which can legitimately wrap around during a conversion period. The core timekeeping code does it correct by applying the mask after the delta calculation: (now - base) & mask #2 is equally broken for clocksources which have smaller masks and can wrap around during a conversion period because there the now > base check is just wrong and causes stale time stamps and time going backwards issues. Unbreak it by: 1) Removing the mask operation from the clocksource read which makes the fallback detection work for all clocksources 2) Replacing the conditional delta calculation with a overrideable inline function. #2 could reuse clocksource_delta() from the timekeeping code but that results in a significant performance hit for the x86 VSDO. The timekeeping core code must have the non optimized version as it has to operate correctly with clocksources which have smaller masks as well to handle the case where TSC is discarded as timekeeper clocksource and replaced by HPET or pmtimer. For the VDSO there is no replacement clocksource. If TSC is unusable the syscall is enforced which does the right thing. To accommodate to the needs of various architectures provide an override-able inline function which defaults to the regular delta calculation with masking: (now - base) & mask Override it for x86 with the non-masking and checking version. This unbreaks the ARM64 syscall fallback operation, allows to use clocksources with arbitrary width and preserves the performance optimization for x86.

2019-06-22lib/vdso: Provide generic VDSO implementationVincenzo Frascino
In the last few years the kernel gained quite some architecture specific vdso implementations which contain very similar code. Introduce a generic VDSO implementation of gettimeofday() which will be shareable between architectures once they are converted over. The implementation is based on the current x86 VDSO code.
