x86/head/64: Install startup GDT

Handling exceptions during boot requires a working GDT. The kernel GDT
can't be used on the direct mapping, so load a startup GDT and setup

x86/asm: Do not annotate functions with GLOBAL

GLOBAL is an x86's custom macro and is going to die very soon. It was
meant for global symbols, but here, it was used for functions. Instead,
use the new macros SYM_FUNC_START* and SYM_CODE_START* (depending on the
type of the function) which are dedicated to global functions. And since
they both require a closing by SYM_*_END, do that here too.

startup_64, which does not use GLOBAL but uses .globl explicitly, is
converted too.

"No alignments" are preserved.

x86/asm/head: Annotate data appropriately

Use the new SYM_DATA, SYM_DATA_START, and SYM_DATA_END in both 32 and 64
bit head_*.S. In the 64-bit version, define also
SYM_DATA_START_PAGE_ALIGNED locally using the new SYM_START. It is used
in the code instead of NEXT_PAGE() which was defined in this file and
had been using the obsolete macro GLOBAL().

Now, the data in the 64-bit object file look sane:
Value Size Type Bind Vis Ndx Name
0000 4096 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 init_level4_pgt
1000 4096 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 level3_kernel_pgt
2000 2048 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 level2_kernel_pgt
3000 4096 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 level2_fixmap_pgt
4000 4096 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 level1_fixmap_pgt
5000 2 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 early_gdt_descr
5002 8 OBJECT LOCAL DEFAULT 15 early_gdt_descr_base
500a 8 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 phys_base
0000 8 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 17 initial_code
0008 8 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 17 initial_gs
0010 8 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 17 initial_stack
0000 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 19 early_recursion_flag
1000 4096 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 19 early_level4_pgt
2000 0x40000 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 19 early_dynamic_pgts
0000 4096 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 22 empty_zero_page

All have correct size and type now.

Note that this also removes implicit 16B alignment previously inserted
by ENTRY:

* initial_code, setup_once_ref, initial_page_table, initial_stack,
boot_gdt are still aligned
* early_gdt_descr is now properly aligned as was intended before ENTRY
was added there long time ago
* phys_base's alignment is kept by an explicitly added new alignment

x86/asm: Annotate local pseudo-functions

Use the newly added SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL* to annotate beginnings of
all pseudo-functions (those ending with END until now) which do not
have ".globl" annotation. This is needed to balance END for tools that
generate debuginfo. Note that ENDs are switched to SYM_CODE_END too so
that everybody can see the pairing.

C-like functions (which handle frame ptr etc.) are not annotated here,
hence SYM_CODE_* macros are used here, not SYM_FUNC_*. Note that the
32bit version of early_idt_handler_common already had ENDPROC -- switch
that to SYM_CODE_END for the same reason as above (and to be the same as
64bit).

While early_idt_handler_common is LOCAL, it's name is not prepended with
".L" as it happens to appear in call traces.

bad_get_user*, and bad_put_user are now aligned, as they are separate
functions. They do not mind to be aligned -- no need to be compact
there.

early_idt_handler_common is aligned now too, as it is after
early_idt_handler_array, so as well no need to be compact there.

verify_cpu is self-standing and included in other .S files, so align it
too.

The others have alignment preserved to what it used to be (using the
_NOALIGN variant of macros).

x86/asm: Reorder early variables

Moving early_recursion_flag (4 bytes) after early_level4_pgt (4k) and
early_dynamic_pgts (256k) saves 4k which are used for alignment of
early_level4_pgt after early_recursion_flag.

The real improvement is merely on the source code side. Previously it
was:
* __INITDATA + .balign
* early_recursion_flag variable
* a ton of CPP MACROS
* __INITDATA (again)
* early_top_pgt and early_recursion_flag variables
* .data

Now, it is a bit simpler:
* a ton of CPP MACROS
* __INITDATA + .balign
* early_top_pgt and early_recursion_flag variables
* early_recursion_flag variable
* .data

On the binary level the change looks like this:
Before:
(sections)
12 .init.data 00042000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00008000 2**12
(symbols)
000000 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 22 early_recursion_flag
001000 4096 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 22 early_top_pgt
002000 0x40000 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 22 early_dynamic_pgts

After:
(sections)
12 .init.data 00041004 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00008000 2**12
(symbols)
000000 4096 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 22 early_top_pgt
001000 0x40000 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 22 early_dynamic_pgts
041000 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 22 early_recursion_flag

So the resulting vmlinux is smaller by 4k with my toolchain as many
other variables can be placed after early_recursion_flag to fill the
rest of the page. Note that this is only .init data, so it is freed
right after being booted anyway. Savings on-disk are none -- compression
of zeros is easy, so the size of bzImage is the same pre and post the
change.

x86/irq/64: Split the IRQ stack into its own pages

Currently, the IRQ stack is hardcoded as the first page of the percpu
area, and the stack canary lives on the IRQ stack. The former gets in
the way of adding an IRQ stack guard page, and the latter is a potential
weakness in the stack canary mechanism.

Split the IRQ stack into its own private percpu pages.

xen/pvh: Split CONFIG_XEN_PVH into CONFIG_PVH and CONFIG_XEN_PVH

In order to pave the way for hypervisors other than Xen to use the PVH
entry point for VMs, we need to factor the PVH entry code into Xen specific
and hypervisor agnostic components. The first step in doing that, is to
create a new config option for PVH entry that can be enabled
independently from CONFIG_XEN.

x86/mm: Expand static page table for fixmap space

We met a kernel panic when enabling earlycon, which is due to the fixmap
address of earlycon is not statically setup.

Currently the static fixmap setup in head_64.S only covers 2M virtual
address space, while it actually could be in 4M space with different
kernel configurations, e.g. when VSYSCALL emulation is disabled.

So increase the static space to 4M for now by defining FIXMAP_PMD_NUM to 2,
and add a build time check to ensure that the fixmap is covered by the
initial static page tables.

x86/mm: Comment _PAGE_GLOBAL mystery

I was mystified as to where the _PAGE_GLOBAL in the kernel page tables
for kernel text came from. I audited all the places I could find, but
I missed one: head_64.S.

The page tables that we create in here live for a long time, and they
also have _PAGE_GLOBAL set, despite whether the processor supports it
or not. It's harmless, and we got *lucky* that the pageattr code
accidentally clears it when we wipe it out of __supported_pte_mask and
then later try to mark kernel text read-only.

Comment some of these properties to make it easier to find and
understand in the future.

x86/mm: Optimize boot-time paging mode switching cost

By this point we have functioning boot-time switching between 4- and

Numbers below are for kernel build, allmodconfig, 5 times.

CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=n:

The patch tries to fix the performance regression by using
cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_LA57) instead of pgtable_l5_enabled in
all hot code paths. These will statically patch the target code for
additional performance.

CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y + the patch:

645.991174661 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.19% )

Unfortunately, this approach doesn't help with text size:

vmlinux.before .text size: 8190319
vmlinux.after .text size: 8200623

The .text section is increased by about 4k. Not sure if we can do anything
about this.

x86/mm/pti: Allocate a separate user PGD

Kernel page table isolation requires to have two PGDs. One for the kernel,
which contains the full kernel mapping plus the user space mapping and one
for use

x86/mm/pti: Allocate a separate user PGD

Kernel page table isolation requires to have two PGDs. One for the kernel,
which contains the full kernel mapping plus the user space mapping and one
for user space which contains the user space mappings and the minimal set
of kernel mappings which are required by the architecture to be able to
transition from and to user space.

Add the necessary preliminaries.
