From ea2e77f49015ae941d7c98fbe066d387dec8fa55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2015 10:05:19 -0800 Subject: Use the new batched user accesses in generic user string handling This converts the generic user string functions to use the batched user access functions. It makes a big difference on Skylake, which is the first x86 microarchitecture to implement SMAP. The STAC/CLAC instructions are not very fast, and doing them for each access inside the loop that copies strings from user space (which is what the pathname handling does for every pathname the kernel uses, for example) is very inefficient.

That interface is fairly easy to use, but it's actually fairly nasty for good code generation, since it essentially forces the caller to check the error value for each access. In particular, since the error handling is already internally implemented with an exception handler, and we already use "asm goto" for various other things, we could fairly easily make the error cases just jump directly to an error label instead, and avoid the need for explicit checking after each operation. So switch the interface to pass in an error label, rather than checking the error value in the caller. Best do it now before we start growing more users (the signal handling code in particular would be a good place to use the new interface). So rather than if (unsafe_get_user(x, ptr)) ... handle error .. the interface is now unsafe_get_user(x, ptr, label); where an error during the user mode fetch will now just cause a jump to 'label' in the caller. Right now the actual _implementation_ of this all still ends up being a "if (err) goto label", and does not take advantage of any exception label tricks, but for "unsafe_put_user()" in particular it should be fairly straightforward to convert to using the exception table model. Note that "unsafe_get_user()" is much harder to convert to a clever exception table model, because current versions of gcc do not allow the use of "asm goto" (for the exception) with output values (for the actual value to be fetched). But that is hopefully not a limitation in the long term. [ Also note that it might be a good idea to switch unsafe_get_user() to actually _return_ the value it fetches from user space, but this commit only changes the error handling semantics ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Change-Id: Ib905a84a04d46984320f6fd1056da4d72f3d6b53 (cherry picked from commit 1bd4403d86a1c06cb6cc9ac87664a0c9d3413d51) Signed-off-by: Sami Tolvanen --- lib/strncpy_from_user.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'lib/strncpy_from_user.c') diff --git a/lib/strncpy_from_user.c b/lib/strncpy_from_user.c index 33840324138c..5a003a2ebd96 100644 --- a/lib/strncpy_from_user.c +++ b/lib/strncpy_from_user.c @@ -39,8 +39,8 @@ static inline long do_strncpy_from_user(char *dst, const char __user *src, long unsigned long c, data; /* Fall back to byte-at-a-time if we get a page fault */ - if (unlikely(unsafe_get_user(c,(unsigned long __user *)(src+res)))) - break; + unsafe_get_user(c, (unsigned long __user *)(src+res), byte_at_a_time); + *(unsigned long *)(dst+res) = c; if (has_zero(c, &data, &constants)) { data = prep_zero_mask(c, data, &constants); @@ -55,8 +55,7 @@ byte_at_a_time: while (max) { char c; - if (unlikely(unsafe_get_user(c,src+res))) - return -EFAULT; + unsafe_get_user(c,src+res, efault); dst[res] = c; if (!c) return res; @@ -75,6 +74,7 @@ byte_at_a_time: * Nope: we hit the address space limit, and we still had more * characters the caller would have wanted.
