[PATCH net-next v13 00/13] Device Memory TCP

by Mina Almasry

v13: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=861406&archive=… ==== Major changes: -------------- This iteration addresses Pavel's review comments, applies his reviewed-by's, and seeks to fix the patchwork build error (sorry!). As usual, the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver implementation is here: https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v13/ v12: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=859747&state=* ==== Major changes: -------------- This iteration only addresses one minor comment from Pavel with regards to the trace printing of netmem, and the patchwork build error introduced in v11 because I missed doing an allmodconfig build, sorry. Other than that v11, AFAICT, received no feedback. There is one discussion about how the specifics of plugging io uring memory through the page pool, but not relevant to content in this particular patchset, AFAICT. As usual, the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver implementation is here: https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v12/ v11: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=857457&state=* ==== Major Changes: -------------- v11 addresses feedback received in v10. The major change is the removal of the memory provider ops as requested by Christoph. We still accomplish the same thing, but utilizing direct function calls with if statements rather than generic ops. Additionally address sparse warnings, bugs and review comments from folks that reviewed. As usual, the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver implementation is here: https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v11/ Detailed changelog: ------------------- - Fixes in netdev_rx_queue_restart() from Pavel & David. - Remove commit e650e8c3a36f5 ("net: page_pool: create hooks for custom page providers") from the series to address Christoph's feedback and rebased other patches on the series on this change. - Fixed build errors with CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER && !CONFIG_GENERIC_ALLOCATOR build. - Fixed sparse warnings pointed out by Paolo. - Drop unnecessary gro_pull_from_frag0 checks. - Added Bagas reviewed-by to docs.

Only rebased to latest net-next and addressed some minor iterative comments received on v9. As usual, the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver implementation is here: https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v10/ Detailed changelog: ------------------- - Fixed tokens leaking in DONTNEED setsockopt (Nikolay). - Moved net_iov_dma_addr() to devmem.c and made it a devmem specific helpers (David). - Rename hook alloc_pages to alloc_netmems as alloc_pages is now preprocessor macro defined and causes a build error. v9: === Major Changes: -------------- GVE queue API has been merged. Submitting this version as non-RFC after rebasing on top of the merged API, and dropped the out of tree queue API I was carrying on github. Addressed the little feedback v8 has received. Detailed changelog: ------------------ - Added new patch from David Wei to this series for netdev_rx_queue_restart() - Fixed sparse error. - Removed CONFIG_ checks in netmem_is_net_iov() - Flipped skb->readable to skb->unreadable - Minor fixes to selftests & docs. RFC v8: ======= Major Changes: -------------- - Fixed build error generated by patch-by-patch build. - Applied docs suggestions from Randy. RFC v7: ======= Major Changes: -------------- This revision largely rebases on top of net-next and addresses the feedback RFCv6 received from folks, namely Jakub, Yunsheng, Arnd, David, & Pavel. The series remains in RFC because the queue-API ndos defined in this series are not yet implemented. I have a GVE implementation I carry out of tree for my testing. A upstreamable GVE implementation is in the works. Aside from that, in my estimation all the patches are ready for review/merge. Please do take a look. As usual the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver implementation is here: https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v7/ Detailed changelog: - Use admin-perm in netlink API. - Addressed feedback from Jakub with regards to netlink API implementation. - Renamed devmem.c functions to something more appropriate for that file. - Improve the performance seen through the page_pool benchmark. - Fix the value definition of all the SO_DEVMEM_* uapi. - Various fixes to documentation. Perf - page-pool benchmark: --------------------------- Improved performance of bench_page_pool_simple.ko tests compared to v6: https://pastebin.com/raw/v5dYRg8L net-next base: 8 cycle fast path. RFC v6: 10 cycle fast path. RFC v7: 9 cycle fast path. RFC v7 with CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER disabled: 8 cycle fast path, same as baseline. Perf - Devmem TCP benchmark: --------------------- Perf is about the same regardless of the changes in v7, namely the removal of the static_branch_unlikely to improve the page_pool benchmark performance: 189/200gbps bi-directional throughput with RX devmem TCP and regular TCP TX i.e. ~95% line rate. RFC v6: ======= Major Changes: -------------- This revision largely rebases on top of net-next and addresses the little feedback RFCv5 received. The series remains in RFC because the queue-API ndos defined in this series are not yet implemented. I have a GVE implementation I carry out of tree for my testing. A upstreamable GVE implementation is in the works. Aside from that, in my estimation all the patches are ready for review/merge. Please do take a look. As usual the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver implementation is here: https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v6/ This version also comes with some performance data recorded in the cover letter (see below changelog). Detailed changelog: - Rebased on top of the merged netmem_ref changes. - Converted skb->dmabuf to skb->readable (Pavel). Pavel's original suggestion was to remove the skb->dmabuf flag entirely, but when I looked into it closely, I found the issue that if we remove the flag we have to dereference the shinfo(skb) pointer to obtain the first frag to tell whether an skb is readable or not. This can cause a performance regression if it dirties the cache line when the shinfo(skb) was not really needed. Instead, I converted the skb->dmabuf flag into a generic skb->readable flag which can be re-used by io_uring 0-copy RX. - Squashed a few locking optimizations from Eric Dumazet in the RX path and the DEVMEM_DONTNEED setsockopt. - Expanded the tests a bit. Added validation for invalid scenarios and added some more coverage. Perf - page-pool benchmark: --------------------------- bench_page_pool_simple.ko tests with and without these changes: https://pastebin.com/raw/ncHDwAbn AFAIK the number that really matters in the perf tests is the 'tasklet_page_pool01_fast_path Per elem'. This one measures at about 8 cycles without the changes but there is some 1 cycle noise in some results. With the patches this regresses to 9 cycles with the changes but there is 1 cycle noise occasionally running this test repeatedly. Lastly I tried disable the static_branch_unlikely() in netmem_is_net_iov() check. To my surprise disabling the static_branch_unlikely() check reduces the fast path back to 8 cycles, but the 1 cycle noise remains. Perf - Devmem TCP benchmark: --------------------- 189/200gbps bi-directional throughput with RX devmem TCP and regular TCP TX i.e. ~95% line rate. Major changes in RFC v5: ======================== 1. Rebased on top of 'Abstract page from net stack' series and used the new netmem type to refer to LSB set pointers instead of re-using struct page. 2. Downgraded this series back to RFC and called it RFC v5. This is because this series is now dependent on 'Abstract page from net stack'[1] and the queue API. Both are removed from the series to reduce the patch # and those bits are fairly independent or pre-requisite work. 3. Reworked the page_pool devmem support to use netmem and for some more unified handling. 4. Reworked the reference counting of net_iov (renamed from page_pool_iov) to use pp_ref_count for refcounting. The full changes including the dependent series and GVE page pool support is here: https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-rfcv5/ [1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=810774 Major changes in v1: ==================== 1. Implemented MVP queue API ndos to remove the userspace-visible driver reset. 2. Fixed issues in the napi_pp_put_page() devmem frag unref path. 3. Removed RFC tag. Many smaller addressed comments across all the patches (patches have individual change log). Full tree including the rest of the GVE driver changes: https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v1 Changes in RFC v3: ================== 1. Pulled in the memory-provider dependency from Jakub's RFC[1] to make the series reviewable and mergeable. 2. Implemented multi-rx-queue binding which was a todo in v2. 3. Fix to cmsg handling. The sticking point in RFC v2[2] was the device reset required to refill the device rx-queues after the dmabuf bind/unbind. The solution suggested as I understand is a subset of the per-queue management ops Jakub suggested or similar: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230815171638.4c057dcd@kernel.org/ This is not addressed in this revision, because: 1. This point was discussed at netconf & netdev and there is openness to using the current approach of requiring a device reset. 2. Implementing individual queue resetting seems to be difficult for my test bed with GVE. My prototype to test this ran into issues with the rx-queues not coming back up properly if reset individually. At the moment I'm unsure if it's a mistake in the POC or a genuine issue in the virtualization stack behind GVE, which currently doesn't test individual rx-queue restart. 3. Our usecases are not bothered by requiring a device reset to refill the buffer queues, and we'd like to support NICs that run into this limitation with resetting individual queues. My thought is that drivers that have trouble with per-queue configs can use the support in this series, while drivers that support new netdev ops to reset individual queues can automatically reset the queue as part of the dma-buf bind/unbind. The same approach with device resets is presented again for consideration with other sticking points addressed. This proposal includes the rx devmem path only proposed for merge. For a snapshot of my entire tree which includes the GVE POC page pool support & device memory support: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/compare/master...mina:linux:tcpdevmem-v3 [1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/f8270765-a27b-6ccf-33ea-cda097168d79@redhat.… [2] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CAHS8izOVJGJH5WF68OsRWFKJid1_huzzUK+hpKbLcL4… Changes in RFC v2: ================== The sticking point in RFC v1[1] was the dma-buf pages approach we used to deliver the device memory to the TCP stack. RFC v2 is a proof-of-concept that attempts to resolve this by implementing scatterlist support in the networking stack, such that we can import the dma-buf scatterlist directly. This is the approach proposed at a high level here[2]. Detailed changes: 1. Replaced dma-buf pages approach with importing scatterlist into the page pool. 2. Replace the dma-buf pages centric API with a netlink API. 3. Removed the TX path implementation - there is no issue with implementing the TX path with scatterlist approach, but leaving out the TX path makes it easier to review. 4. Functionality is tested with this proposal, but I have not conducted perf testing yet. I'm not sure there are regressions, but I removed perf claims from the cover letter until they can be re-confirmed. 5. Added Signed-off-by: contributors to the implementation. 6. Fixed some bugs with the RX path since RFC v1. Any feedback welcome, but specifically the biggest pending questions needing feedback IMO are: 1. Feedback on the scatterlist-based approach in general. 2. Netlink API (Patch 1 & 2). 3. Approach to handle all the drivers that expect to receive pages from the page pool (Patch 6). [1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/dfe4bae7-13a0-3c5d-d671-f61b375cb0b4@gmail.c… [2] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CAHS8izPm6XRS54LdCDZVd0C75tA1zHSu6jLVO8nzTLX… ================== * TL;DR: Device memory TCP (devmem TCP) is a proposal for transferring data to and/or from device memory efficiently, without bouncing the data to a host memory buffer. * Problem: A large amount of data transfers have device memory as the source and/or destination. Accelerators drastically increased the volume of such transfers. Some examples include: - ML accelerators transferring large amounts of training data from storage into GPU/TPU memory. In some cases ML training setup time can be as long as 50% of TPU compute time, improving data transfer throughput & efficiency can help improving GPU/TPU utilization. - Distributed training, where ML accelerators, such as GPUs on different hosts, exchange data among them. - Distributed raw block storage applications transfer large amounts of data with remote SSDs, much of this data does not require host processing. Today, the majority of the Device-to-Device data transfers the network are implemented as the following low level operations: Device-to-Host copy, Host-to-Host network transfer, and Host-to-Device copy. The implementation is suboptimal, especially for bulk data transfers, and can put significant strains on system resources, such as host memory bandwidth, PCIe bandwidth, etc. One important reason behind the current state is the kernel’s lack of semantics to express device to network transfers. * Proposal: In this patch series we attempt to optimize this use case by implementing socket APIs that enable the user to: 1. send device memory across the network directly, and 2. receive incoming network packets directly into device memory. Packet _payloads_ go directly from the NIC to device memory for receive and from device memory to NIC for transmit. Packet _headers_ go to/from host memory and are processed by the TCP/IP stack normally. The NIC _must_ support header split to achieve this. Advantages: - Alleviate host memory bandwidth pressure, compared to existing network-transfer + device-copy semantics. - Alleviate PCIe BW pressure, by limiting data transfer to the lowest level of the PCIe tree, compared to traditional path which sends data through the root complex. * Patch overview: ** Part 1: netlink API Gives user ability to bind dma-buf to an RX queue. ** Part 2: scatterlist support Currently the standard for device memory sharing is DMABUF, which doesn't generate struct pages. On the other hand, networking stack (skbs, drivers, and page pool) operate on pages. We have 2 options: 1. Generate struct pages for dmabuf device memory, or, 2. Modify the networking stack to process scatterlist. Approach #1 was attempted in RFC v1. RFC v2 implements approach #2. ** part 3: page pool support We piggy back on page pool memory providers proposal: https://github.com/kuba-moo/linux/tree/pp-providers It allows the page pool to define a memory provider that provides the page allocation and freeing. It helps abstract most of the device memory TCP changes from the driver. ** part 4: support for unreadable skb frags Page pool iovs are not accessible by the host; we implement changes throughput the networking stack to correctly handle skbs with unreadable frags. ** Part 5: recvmsg() APIs We define user APIs for the user to send and receive device memory. Not included with this series is the GVE devmem TCP support, just to simplify the review. Code available here if desired: https://github.com/mina/linux/tree/tcpdevmem This series is built on top of net-next with Jakub's pp-providers changes cherry-picked. * NIC dependencies: 1. (strict) Devmem TCP require the NIC to support header split, i.e. the capability to split incoming packets into a header + payload and to put each into a separate buffer. Devmem TCP works by using device memory for the packet payload, and host memory for the packet headers. 2. (optional) Devmem TCP works better with flow steering support & RSS support, i.e. the NIC's ability to steer flows into certain rx queues. This allows the sysadmin to enable devmem TCP on a subset of the rx queues, and steer devmem TCP traffic onto these queues and non devmem TCP elsewhere. The NIC I have access to with these properties is the GVE with DQO support running in Google Cloud, but any NIC that supports these features would suffice. I may be able to help reviewers bring up devmem TCP on their NICs. * Testing: The series includes a udmabuf kselftest that show a simple use case of devmem TCP and validates the entire data path end to end without a dependency on a specific dmabuf provider. ** Test Setup Kernel: net-next with this series and memory provider API cherry-picked locally. Hardware: Google Cloud A3 VMs. NIC: GVE with header split & RSS & flow steering support.

[PATCH v2 1/3] Fix userfaultfd_api to return EINVAL as expected

by Audra Mitchell

Currently if we request a feature that is not set in the Kernel config we fail silently and return all the available features. However, the man page indicates we should return an EINVAL. We need to fix this issue since we can end up with a Kernel warning should a program request the feature UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED on a kernel with the config not set with this feature.

[PATCH v5 0/4] Userspace controls soft-offline pages

by Jiaqi Yan

Correctable memory errors are very common on servers with large amount of memory, and are corrected by ECC, but with two pain points to users: 1. Correction usually happens on the fly and adds latency overhead 2. Not-fully-proved theory states excessive correctable memory errors can develop into uncorrectable memory error. Soft offline is kernel's additional solution for memory pages having (excessive) corrected memory errors. Impacted page is migrated to healthy page if it is in use, then the original page is discarded for any future use. The actual policy on whether (and when) to soft offline should be maintained by userspace, especially in case of an 1G HugeTLB page. Soft-offline dissolves the HugeTLB page, either in-use or free, into chunks of 4K pages, reducing HugeTLB pool capacity by 1 hugepage. If userspace has not acknowledged such behavior, it may be surprised when later mmap hugepages MAP_FAILED due to lack of hugepages. In case of a transparent hugepage, it will be split into 4K pages as well; userspace will stop enjoying the transparent performance. In addition, discarding the entire 1G HugeTLB page only because of corrected memory errors sounds very costly and kernel better not doing under the hood. But today there are at least 2 such cases: 1. GHES driver sees both GHES_SEV_CORRECTED and CPER_SEC_ERROR_THRESHOLD_EXCEEDED after parsing CPER. 2. RAS Correctable Errors Collector counts correctable errors per PFN and when the counter for a PFN reaches threshold In both cases, userspace has no control of the soft offline performed by kernel's memory failure recovery. This patch series give userspace the control of softofflining any page: kernel only soft offlines raw page / transparent hugepage / HugeTLB hugepage if userspace has agreed to.

[PATCH RFC 0/5] mm/gup: Introduce exclusive GUP pinning

by Elliot Berman

In arm64 pKVM and QuIC's Gunyah protected VM model, we want to support grabbing shmem user pages instead of using KVM's guestmemfd. These hypervisors provide a different isolation model than the CoCo implementations from x86. KVM's guest_memfd is focused on providing memory that is more isolated than AVF requires. Some specific examples include ability to pre-load data onto guest-private pages, dynamically sharing/isolating guest pages without copy, and (future) migrating guest-private pages. In sum of those differences after a discussion in [1] and at PUCK, we want to try to stick with existing shmem and extend GUP to support the isolation needs for arm64 pKVM and Gunyah. To that end, we introduce the concept of "exclusive GUP pinning", which enforces that only one pin of any kind is allowed when using the FOLL_EXCLUSIVE flag is set. This behavior doesn't affect FOLL_GET or any other folio refcount operations that don't go through the FOLL_PIN path.

[PATCH v6 00/13] Centralize _GNU_SOURCE definition into lib.mk

by Edward Liaw

Centralizes the definition of _GNU_SOURCE into lib.mk and addresses all resulting macro redefinition warnings. These patches will need to be merged in one shot to avoid redefinition warnings. The initial attempt at this patch was abandoned because it affected lines in many source files and caused a large amount of churn. However, from earlier discussions, centralizing _GNU_SOURCE is still desireable. This attempt limits the changes to 1 source file and 12 Makefiles. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20240430235057.1351993-1-edliaw@goo… v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20240507214254.2787305-1-edliaw@goo… - Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to KHDR_INCLUDES so that it is in a single location. - Remove #define _GNU_SOURCE from source code to resolve redefinition warnings. v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20240509200022.253089-1-edliaw@goog… - Rebase onto linux-next 20240508. - Split patches by directory. - Add -D_GNU_SOURCE directly to CFLAGS in lib.mk. - Delete additional _GNU_SOURCE definitions from source code in linux-next. - Delete additional -D_GNU_SOURCE flags from Makefiles. v4: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20240510000842.410729-1-edliaw@goog… - Rebase onto linux-next 20240509. - Remove Fixes tag from patches that drop _GNU_SOURCE definition. - Restore space between comment and includes for selftests/damon. v5: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20240522005913.3540131-1-edliaw@goo… - Rebase onto linux-next 20240521 - Drop initial patches that modify KHDR_INCLUDES. - Incorporate Mark Brown's patch to replace static_assert with warning. - Don't drop #define _GNU_SOURCE from nolibc and wireguard. - Change Makefiles for x86 and vDSO to append to CFLAGS. v6: - Rewrite patch to use -D_GNU_SOURCE= form in lib.mk. - Reduce the amount of churn significantly by allowing definition to coexist with source code macro defines.

[PATCH v9 00/39] arm64/gcs: Provide support for GCS in userspace

by Mark Brown

The arm64 Guarded Control Stack (GCS) feature provides support for hardware protected stacks of return addresses, intended to provide hardening against return oriented programming (ROP) attacks and to make it easier to gather call stacks for applications such as profiling. When GCS is active a secondary stack called the Guarded Control Stack is maintained, protected with a memory attribute which means that it can only be written with specific GCS operations. The current GCS pointer can not be directly written to by userspace. When a BL is executed the value stored in LR is also pushed onto the GCS, and when a RET is executed the top of the GCS is popped and compared to LR with a fault being raised if the values do not match. GCS operations may only be performed on GCS pages, a data abort is generated if they are not. The combination of hardware enforcement and lack of extra instructions in the function entry and exit paths should result in something which has less overhead and is more difficult to attack than a purely software implementation like clang's shadow stacks. This series implements support for use of GCS by userspace, along with support for use of GCS within KVM guests. It does not enable use of GCS by either EL1 or EL2, this will be implemented separately. Executables are started without GCS and must use a prctl() to enable it, it is expected that this will be done very early in application execution by the dynamic linker or other startup code. For dynamic linking this will be done by checking that everything in the executable is marked as GCS compatible. x86 has an equivalent feature called shadow stacks, this series depends on the x86 patches for generic memory management support for the new guarded/shadow stack page type and shares APIs as much as possible. As there has been extensive discussion with the wider community around the ABI for shadow stacks I have as far as practical kept implementation decisions close to those for x86, anticipating that review would lead to similar conclusions in the absence of strong reasoning for divergence. The main divergence I am concious of is that x86 allows shadow stack to be enabled and disabled repeatedly, freeing the shadow stack for the thread whenever disabled, while this implementation keeps the GCS allocated after disable but refuses to reenable it. This is to avoid races with things actively walking the GCS during a disable, we do anticipate that some systems will wish to disable GCS at runtime but are not aware of any demand for subsequently reenabling it. x86 uses an arch_prctl() to manage enable and disable, since only x86 and S/390 use arch_prctl() a generic prctl() was proposed[1] as part of a patch set for the equivalent RISC-V Zicfiss feature which I initially adopted fairly directly but following review feedback has been revised quite a bit. We currently maintain the x86 pattern of implicitly allocating a shadow stack for threads started with shadow stack enabled, there has been some discussion of removing this support and requiring the use of clone3() with explicit allocation of shadow stacks instead. I have no strong feelings either way, implicit allocation is not really consistent with anything else we do and creates the potential for errors around thread exit but on the other hand it is existing ABI on x86 and minimises the changes needed in userspace code. glibc and bionic changes using this ABI have been implemented and tested. Headless Android systems have been validated and Ross Burton has used this code has been used to bring up a Yocto system with GCS enabed as standard, a test implementation of V8 support has also been done. There is an open issue with support for CRIU, on x86 this required the ability to set the GCS mode via ptrace. This series supports configuring mode bits other than enable/disable via ptrace but it needs to be confirmed if this is sufficient. The series depends on support for shadow stacks in clone3(), that series includes the addition of ARCH_HAS_USER_SHADOW_STACK. https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240623-clone3-shadow-stack-v6-0-9ee7783b1fb9@ke… You can see a branch with the full set of dependencies against Linus' tree at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/misc.git arm64-gcs [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230213045351.3945824-1-debug@rivosinc.com/ Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie(a)kernel.org> --- Changes in v9: -

[PATCH RFT v6 0/9] fork: Support shadow stacks in clone3()

by Mark Brown

The kernel has recently added support for shadow stacks, currently x86 only using their CET feature but both arm64 and RISC-V have equivalent features (GCS and Zicfiss respectively), I am actively working on GCS[1]. With shadow stacks the hardware maintains an additional stack containing only the return addresses for branch instructions which is not generally writeable by userspace and ensures that any returns are to the recorded addresses. This provides some protection against ROP attacks and making it easier to collect call stacks. These shadow stacks are allocated in the address space of the userspace process. Our API for shadow stacks does not currently offer userspace any flexiblity for managing the allocation of shadow stacks for newly created threads, instead the kernel allocates a new shadow stack with the same size as the normal stack whenever a thread is created with the feature enabled. The stacks allocated in this way are freed by the kernel when the thread exits or shadow stacks are disabled for the thread. This lack of flexibility and control isn't ideal, in the vast majority of cases the shadow stack will be over allocated and the implicit allocation and deallocation is not consistent with other interfaces. As far as I can tell the interface is done in this manner mainly because the shadow stack patches were in development since before clone3() was implemented. Since clone3() is readily extensible let's add support for specifying a shadow stack when creating a new thread or process in a similar manner to how the normal stack is specified, keeping the current implicit allocation behaviour if one is not specified either with clone3() or through the use of clone(). The user must provide a shadow stack address and size, this must point to memory mapped for use as a shadow stackby map_shadow_stack() with a shadow stack token at the top of the stack. Please note that the x86 portions of this code are build tested only, I don't appear to have a system that can run CET avaible to me, I have done testing with an integration into my pending work for GCS. There is some possibility that the arm64 implementation may require the use of clone3() and explicit userspace allocation of shadow stacks, this is still under discussion. Please further note that the token consumption done by clone3() is not currently implemented in an atomic fashion, Rick indicated that he would look into fixing this if people are OK with the implementation. A new architecture feature Kconfig option for shadow stacks is added as here, this was suggested as part of the review comments for the arm64 GCS series and since we need to detect if shadow stacks are supported it seemed sensible to roll it in here.

[PATCH v3 0/9] A new selftests/ directory for arm compatibility testing

by Dev Jain

This series introduces the selftests/arm directory, which tests 32 and 64-bit kernel compatibility with 32-bit ELFs running on the Aarch platform. The need for this bucket of tests is that 32 bit applications built on legacy ARM architecture must not break on the new Aarch64 platforms and the 64-bit kernel. The kernel must emulate the data structures, system calls and the registers according to Aarch32, when running a 32-bit process; this directory fills that testing requirement. One may find similarity between this directory and selftests/arm64; it is advisable to refer to that since a lot has been pulled from there itself. The mm directory includes a test for checking 4GB limit of the virtual address space of a process. The signal directory contains two tests, following a common theme: mangle with arm_cpsr, dumped by the kernel to user space while invoking the signal handler; kernel must spot this illegal attempt and terminate the program by SEGV. The elf directory includes a test for checking the 32-bit status of the ELF. The abi directory includes two ptrace tests, in the first, a 32-bit parent debugs a 32-bit child, and in the second, a 64-bit parent debugs a 32-bit child. The second test will be skipped when running on a 32-bit kernel. Credits to Mark Brown for suggesting this work. Testing: The series has been tested on the Aarch64 kernel. For the Aarch32 kernel, I used qemu-system-arm with machine 'vexpress-a15', along with a buildroot rootfs; the individual statically built tests pass on that, but building the entire test suite on that remains untested, due to my lack of experience with qemu and rootfses. Since I have done some changes in selftests/arm64, I have tested that those tests do not break. v2->v3: - mm, elf: Split into multiple testcases - Eliminate copying in signal/ using ifdeffery and pulling from selftests/arm64 - Delete config file, since it does not make sense for testing a 32-bit kernel - Split ptrace in selftests/arm64, and pull some stuff from there - Add abi tests containing ptrace and ptrace_64 - Fix build warnings in selftests/arm64 (can be applied independent of this series) v1->v2: - Formatting changes - Add .gitignore files and config file v1: - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240405084410.256788-1-dev.jain@arm.com/ Dev Jain (9): selftests/arm: Add mm test selftests/arm: Add elf test selftests: arm, arm64: Use ifdeffery to pull signal infrastructure selftests/arm: Add signal tests selftests/arm64: Fix build warnings for ptrace selftests/arm64: Split ptrace, use ifdeffery selftests/arm: Add ptrace test selftests/arm: Add ptrace_64 test selftests: Add build infrastructure along with README tools/testing/selftests/Makefile | 1 + tools/testing/selftests/arm/Makefile | 56 ++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/arm/README | 32 +++++ tools/testing/selftests/arm/abi/.gitignore | 4 + tools/testing/selftests/arm/abi/Makefile | 26 ++++ tools/testing/selftests/arm/abi/ptrace.c | 82 +++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/arm/abi/ptrace.h | 57 ++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/arm/abi/ptrace_64.c | 91 ++++++++++++ .../selftests/arm/abi/trivial_32bit_program.c | 14 ++ tools/testing/selftests/arm/elf/.gitignore | 2 + tools/testing/selftests/arm/elf/Makefile | 6 + tools/testing/selftests/arm/elf/parse_elf.c | 77 ++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/arm/mm/.gitignore | 2 + tools/testing/selftests/arm/mm/Makefile | 6 + tools/testing/selftests/arm/mm/compat_va.c | 89 ++++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/arm/signal/.gitignore | 3 + tools/testing/selftests/arm/signal/Makefile | 30 ++++ .../selftests/arm/signal/test_signals.c | 2 + .../selftests/arm/signal/test_signals.h | 2 + .../selftests/arm/signal/test_signals_utils.c | 2 + .../selftests/arm/signal/test_signals_utils.h | 2 + .../testcases/mangle_cpsr_invalid_aif_bits.c | 33 +++++ .../mangle_cpsr_invalid_compat_toggle.c | 29 ++++ tools/testing/selftests/arm64/abi/ptrace.c | 121 ++-------------- tools/testing/selftests/arm64/abi/ptrace.h | 135 ++++++++++++++++++ .../selftests/arm64/signal/test_signals.h | 12 ++ .../arm64/signal/test_signals_utils.c | 51 +++++-- .../arm64/signal/test_signals_utils.h | 3 + 28 files changed, 850 insertions(+), 120 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/Makefile create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/README create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/abi/.gitignore create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/abi/Makefile create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/abi/ptrace.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/abi/ptrace.h create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/abi/ptrace_64.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/abi/trivial_32bit_program.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/elf/.gitignore create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/elf/Makefile create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/elf/parse_elf.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/mm/.gitignore create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/mm/Makefile create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/mm/compat_va.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/signal/.gitignore create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/signal/Makefile create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/signal/test_signals.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/signal/test_signals.h create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/signal/test_signals_utils.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/signal/test_signals_utils.h create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/signal/testcases/mangle_cpsr_invalid_aif_bits.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm/signal/testcases/mangle_cpsr_invalid_compat_toggle.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/arm64/abi/ptrace.h -- 2.39.2
