v2 cover x86: Fix inline asm call constraints for clang

Patch 1 is a bug fix for an objtool issue which was uncovered by patch 2.

Patch 2 is the last fix needed for clang to be able to compile and boot the kernel.

Josh Poimboeuf (2):

PATCH v2 1/2 objtool: Handle another GCC stack pointer adjustment bug

The kbuild bot reported the following warning with GCC 4.4 and a randconfig:

net/socket.o: warning: objtool: compat_sock_ioctl()+0x1083: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+160 cfa2=-1+0

This is caused by another GCC non-optimization, where it backs up and restores the stack pointer for no apparent reason:

    2f91:       48 89 e0                mov    %rsp,%rax
    2f94:       4c 89 e7                mov    %r12,%rdi
    2f97:       4c 89 f6                mov    %r14,%rsi
    2f9a:       ba 20 00 00 00          mov    $0x20,%edx
    2f9f:       48 89 c4                mov    %rax,%rsp

This issue would have been happily ignored before the following commit:

dd88a0a0c861 ("objtool: Handle GCC stack pointer adjustment bug")

But now that objtool is paying attention to such stack pointer writes to/from a register, it needs to understand them properly. In this case that means recognizing that the "mov %rsp, %rax" instruction is potentially a backup of the stack pointer.

PATCH v2 2/2 x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for clang

In reply to Josh Poimboeuf

For inline asm statements which have a CALL instruction, we list the stack pointer as a constraint to convince GCC to ensure the frame pointer is set up first:

  static inline void foo()
  {
  	register void *__sp asm(_ASM_SP);
  	asm("call bar" : "+r" (__sp))
  }

Unfortunately, that pattern causes clang to corrupt the stack pointer.

The fix is easy: convert the stack pointer register variable to a global variable.

It should be noted that the end result is different based on the GCC version. With GCC 6.4, this patch has exactly the same result as before:

defconfig defconfig-nofp distro distro-nofp
before 9820389 9491555 8816046 8516940
after 9820389 9491555 8816046 8516940

With GCC 7.2, however, GCC's behavior has changed. It now changes its behavior based on the conversion of the register variable to a global. That somehow convinces it to *always* set up the frame pointer before inserting *any* inline asm. (Therefore, listing the variable as an output constraint is a no-op and is no longer necessary.) It's a bit overkill, but the performance impact should be negligible. And in fact, there's a nice improvement with frame pointers disabled:

defconfig defconfig-nofp distro distro-nofp
before 9796316 9468236 9076191 8790305
after 9796957 9464267 9076381 8785949

So in summary, while listing the stack pointer as an output constraint is no longer necessary for newer versions of GCC, it's still needed for older versions.

x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for Clang

For inline asm statements which have a CALL instruction, we list the stack pointer as a constraint to convince GCC to ensure the frame pointer is set up first:

static inline void foo()

  {
	register void *__sp asm(_ASM_SP);
	asm("call bar" : "+r" (__sp))

}

Unfortunately, that pattern causes Clang to corrupt the stack pointer.

The fix is easy: convert the stack pointer register variable to a global variable.

It should be noted that the end result is different based on the GCC version. With GCC 6.4, this patch has exactly the same result as before:

defconfig defconfig-nofp distro distro-nofp
before 9820389 9491555 8816046 8516940
after 9820389 9491555 8816046 8516940

With GCC 7.2, however, GCC's behavior has changed. It now changes its behavior based on the conversion of the register variable to a global. That somehow convinces it to *always* set up the frame pointer before inserting *any* inline asm. (Therefore, listing the variable as an output constraint is a no-op and is no longer necessary.) It's a bit overkill, but the performance impact should be negligible. And in fact, there's a nice improvement with frame pointers disabled:

defconfig defconfig-nofp distro distro-nofp
before 9796316 9468236 9076191 8790305
after 9796957 9464267 9076381 8785949

So in summary, while listing the stack pointer as an output constraint is no longer necessary for newer versions of GCC, it's still needed for older versions.

    If it's a GCC-compiled .c file, the error may be because the function
    uses an inline asm() statement which has a "call" instruction.  An
    asm() statement with a call instruction must declare the use of the
-   stack pointer in its output operand.  For example, on x86_64:
+   stack pointer in its output operand.  On x86_64, this means adding
+   the ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT as an output constraint:
 
-     register void *__sp asm("rsp");
-     asm volatile("call func" : "+r" (__sp));
+     asm volatile("call func" : ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT);
 
    Otherwise the stack frame may not get created before the call.

Patch 1 is a bug fix for an objtool issue which was uncovered by patch 2.

Patch 2 is the last fix needed for clang to be able to compile and boot the kernel.

objtool: Handle another GCC stack pointer adjustment bug x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for clang

Have these patches been boot tested with clang?

Thanks,

Great - I'll queue up these fixes in tip:x86/urgent.

Thanks,
