cover vsyscall emulation compatibility fixes

This is the latest attempt to make vsyscall emulation compatible with dynamic insrumentation tools like DynamoRIO and pin
(http://pintool.org). They make assumptions about how the int instruction works that were false with the original vsyscall emulation code.

There is now a vsyscall boot parameter. In "native" mode, vsyscalls are just syscall instructions. Emulation works fine. In "emulate" mode (default), vsyscalls appear to be syscall instructions, but attempts to execute them are trapped by the NX bit and the instructions are emulated instead. This is slower than the old interrupt-based code (because I hooked a slow path in the page fault code) but it means that nothing too sneaky goes on behind the backs of the tools. In "none" mode, vsyscalls send SIGSEGV just like any other attempt to execute from an NX page.

This still has corner cases. For example, single-stepping through a vsyscall will step across the whole thing instead of across just one instruction. I suspect that nothing cares. Somewhat more significantly, if an exploit (or exploit-like program) jumps to a syscall instruction in the vsyscall page under pin, then it will work, whereas without pin in vsyscall=emulate mode, it would receive SIGSEGV. Pin is welcome to fix this corner case if it cares.

If this still causes problems, we can just default the vsyscall parameter to native for 3.1

The first patch is pure cleanup and is not required. The second patch wires up the getcpu syscall and is required for the native code to work. The third patch is the meat.

For extra points, if you ignore the documentation in kernel-parameters.txt, this patch set removes more lines than it adds.

x86-64: Move vread_tsc and vread_hpet into the vDSO

user code no longer directly calls into code in arch/x86/kernel/, so we don't need compile flag hacks to make it safe. All vdso code is in the vdso directory now.

PATCH 2/3 x86-64: Wire up getcpu syscall

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

getcpu is available as a vdso entry and an emulated vsyscall. Programs that for some reason don't want to use the vdso should still be able to call getcpu without relying on the slow emulated vsyscall. It costs almost nothing to expose it as a real syscall.

We also need this for the following patch in vsyscall=native mode.

PATCH 3/3 x86-64: Rework vsyscall emulation and add vsyscall= parameter

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

There are three choices:

vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the corresponding syscalls.

vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction fault traps, tested in the bad_area path. The actual contents of the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except that it's marked NX. This way programs that make assumptions about what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read that code.

vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.

Hi Andy,

This patch doesn't apply.  What is your baseline for this patch?

My baseline was a commit that probably only lives in my tree, but the patches should apply cleanly on top of c149a665ac488e0dac22a42287f45ad1bda06ff1, which is the current tip/x86/vdso.

There are three choices:

vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the corresponding syscalls.

vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction fault traps, tested in the bad_area path.  The actual contents of the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except that it's marked NX.  This way programs that make assumptions about what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read that code.

Quoted 3 lines

vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.

Please rebase your patch on the current -linus since it appears to have changed since x86/vdso was merged.

If it helps, I can probably generate a new series that merges 9c40818 with the latest patch and makes the result independent of the rest (except for the trace event). I'm not sure it's worth it, though.

x86-64: Rework vsyscall emulation and add vsyscall= parameter

There are three choices:

vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the corresponding syscalls.

vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction fault traps, tested in the bad_area path. The actual contents of the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except that it's marked NX. This way programs that make assumptions about what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read that code.

vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.

There are three choices:

vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the corresponding syscalls.

vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction fault traps, tested in the bad_area path. The actual contents of the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except that it's marked NX. This way programs that make assumptions about what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read that code.

vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.
