Raise gcc version requirement to 4.9

2020-07-08T17:48:35Z

I realize that we fairly recently raised it to 4.8, but the fact is, 4.9 is a much better minimum version to target. We have a number of workarounds for actual bugs in pre-4.9 gcc versions (including things like internal compiler errors on ARM), but we also have some syntactic workarounds for lacking features. In particular, raising the minimum to 4.9 means that we can now just assume _Generic() exists, which is likely the much better replacement for a lot of very convoluted built-time magic with conditionals on sizeof and/or __builtin_choose_expr() with same_type() etc. Using _Generic also means that you will need to have a very recent version of 'sparse', but thats easy to build yourself, and much less of a hassle than some old gcc version can be. The latest (in a long string) of reasons for minimum compiler version upgrades was commit 5435f73d5c4a ("efi/x86: Fix build with gcc 4"). Ard points out that RHEL 7 uses gcc-4.8, but the people who stay back on old RHEL versions persumably also don't build their own kernels anyway. And maybe they should cross-built or just have a little side affair with a newer compiler? Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

compiler_types.h: Add __no_sanitize_{address,undefined} to noinstr

2020-06-15T12:10:09Z

Adds the portable definitions for __no_sanitize_address, and __no_sanitize_undefined, and subsequently changes noinstr to use the attributes to disable instrumentation via KASAN or UBSAN.

Rebase locking/kcsan to locking/urgent

2020-06-11T18:02:46Z

Merge the state of the locking kcsan branch before the read/write_once() and the atomics modifications got merged. Squash the fallout of the rebase on top of the read/write once and atomic fallback work into the merge. The history of the original branch is preserved in tag locking-kcsan-2020-06-02.

compiler/gcc: Raise minimum GCC version for kernel builds to 4.8

2020-04-15T20:36:20Z

It is very rare to see versions of GCC prior to 4.8 being used to build the mainline kernel. These old compilers are also know to have codegen issues which can lead to silent miscompilation: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145 Raise the minimum GCC version for kernel build to 4.8 and remove some tautological Kconfig dependencies as a consequence.

kcsan: Add __no_kcsan function attribute

2020-01-07T15:47:23Z

Since the use of -fsanitize=thread is an implementation detail of KCSAN, the name __no_sanitize_thread could be misleading if used widely. Instead, we introduce the __no_kcsan attribute which is shorter and more accurate in the context of KCSAN. This matches the attribute name __no_kcsan_or_inline. The use of __kcsan_or_inline itself is still required for __always_inline functions to retain compatibility with older compilers. Signed-off-by: Marco Elver Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

kcsan: Add Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer infrastructure

2019-11-16T15:23:13Z

Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic data-race detector for kernel space. KCSAN is a sampling watchpoint-based data-race detector. See the included Documentation/dev-tools/kcsan.rst for more details. This patch adds basic infrastructure, but does not yet enable KCSAN for any architecture.

bpf: Disable GCC -fgcse optimization for ___bpf_prog_run()

2019-07-18T19:01:06Z

On x86-64, with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n, GCC's "global common subexpression elimination" optimization results in ___bpf_prog_run()'s jumptable code changing from this: select_insn: jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8) ... ALU64_ADD_X: ... jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8) ALU_ADD_X: ... jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8) to this: select_insn: mov jumptable, %r12 jmp *(%r12, %rax, 8) ... ALU64_ADD_X: ... jmp *(%r12, %rax, 8) ALU_ADD_X: ... jmp *(%r12, %rax, 8) The jumptable address is placed in a register once, at the beginning of the function. The function execution can then go through multiple indirect jumps which rely on that same register value. This has a few issues: 1) Objtool isn't smart enough to be able to track such a register value across multiple recursive indirect jumps through the jump table. 2) With CONFIG_RETPOLINE enabled, this optimization actually results in a small slowdown. I measured a ~4.7% slowdown in the test_bpf "tcpdump port 22" selftest. This slowdown is actually predicted by the GCC manual: Note: When compiling a program using computed gotos, a GCC extension, you may get better run-time performance if you disable the global common subexpression elimination pass by adding -fno-gcse to the command line. So just disable the optimization for this function.

include/linux/compiler*.h: fix OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR

2019-01-09T10:36:41Z

Since commit 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h mutually exclusive") clang no longer reuses the OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR macro from compiler-gcc - instead it gets the version in include/linux/compiler.h. Unfortunately that version doesn't actually prevent compiler from optimizing out the variable. Fix up by moving the macro out from compiler-gcc.h to compiler.h. Compilers without incline asm support will keep working since it's protected by an ifdef. Also fix up comments to match reality since we are no longer overriding any macros. Build-tested with gcc and clang.
