The code to actually handle kernel and event entry/exit using FRED. It is split up into two files thus: - entry_64_fred.S contains the actual entrypoints and exit code, and saves and restores registers. - entry_fred.c contains the two-level event dispatch code for FRED. The first-level dispatch is on the event type, and the second-level is on the event vector.

Like #DB, when occurred on different ring level, i.e., from user or kernel context, #MCE needs to be handled on different stack: User #MCE on current task stack, while kernel #MCE on a dedicated stack. This is exactly how FRED event delivery invokes an exception handler: ring 3 event on level 0 stack, i.e., current task stack; ring 0 event on the the FRED machine check entry stub doesn't do stack switch.

On a FRED system, NMIs nest both with themselves and faults, transient information is saved into the stack frame, and NMI unblocking only happens when the stack frame indicates that so should happen. Thus, the NMI entry stub for FRED is really quite small... Signed-off-by:

When occurred on different ring level, i.e., from user or kernel context, stack, while kernel #DB on a dedicated stack. This is exactly how FRED event delivery invokes an exception handler: ring 3 event on level 0 stack, i.e., current task stack; ring 0 event on the #DB dedicated stack specified in the IA32_FRED_STKLVLS MSR. So unlike IDT, the FRED debug exception entry stub doesn't do stack switch. On a FRED system, the debug trap status information (DR6) is passed on the stack, to avoid the problem of transient state. Furthermore, FRED transitions avoid a lot of ugly corner cases the handling of which can, and should be, skipped. The FRED debug trap status information saved on the stack differs from DR6 in both stickiness and polarity; it is exactly in the format which debug_read_clear_dr6() returns for the IDT entry points.

FRED and IDT can share most of the definitions and declarations so that in the majority of cases the actual handler implementation is the same. The differences are the exceptions where FRED stores exception related information on the stack and the sysvec implementations as FRED can handle irqentry/exit() in the dispatcher instead of having it in each handler. Also add stub defines for vectors which are not used due to Kconfig decisions to spare the ifdeffery in the actual FRED dispatch code. Suggested-by:

On a FRED system, the faulting address (CR2) is passed on the stack, to avoid the problem of transient state. Thus the page fault address is read from the FRED stack frame instead of CR2 when FRED is enabled. Signed-off-by:

Entering a new task is logically speaking a return from a system call (exec, fork, clone, etc.). As such, if ptrace enables single stepping a single step exception should be allowed to trigger immediately upon entering user space. This is not optional. NMI should *never* be disabled in user space. As such, this is an optional, opportunistic way to catch errors. Allow single-step trap and NMI when starting a new task, thus once the new task enters user space, single-step trap and NMI are both enabled immediately. Signed-off-by:

SWAPGS is no longer needed thus NOT allowed with FRED because FRED transitions ensure that an operating system can _always_ operate with its own GS base address: - For events that occur in ring 3, FRED event delivery swaps the GS base address with the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR. - ERETU (the FRED transition that returns to ring 3) also swaps the GS base address with the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR. And the operating system can still setup the GS segment for a user thread without the need of loading a user thread GS with: - Using LKGS, available with FRED, to modify other attributes of the GS segment without compromising its ability always to operate with its own GS base address. - Accessing the GS segment base address for a user thread as before using RDMSR or WRMSR on the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR. Note, LKGS loads the GS base address into the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR instead of the GS segment's descriptor cache. As such, the operating system never changes its runtime GS base address.

FRED defines additional information in the upper 48 bits of cs/ss fields. Therefore add the information definitions into the pt_regs structure. Specifically introduce a new structure fred_ss to denote the FRED flags above SS selector, which avoids FRED_SSX_ macros and makes the code simpler and easier to read. Suggested-by:

Xin Li authored
struct pt_regs is hard to read because the member or section related comments are not aligned with the members. The 'cs' and 'ss' members of pt_regs are type of 'unsigned long' while in reality they are only 16-bit wide. This works so far as the remaining space is unused, but FRED will use the remaining bits for other purposes. To prepare for FRED: - Cleanup the formatting - Convert 'cs' and 'ss' to u16 and embed them into an union with a u64 - Fixup the related printk() format strings Suggested-by: -

Let command line option "fred" accept multiple options to make it easier to tweak its behavior. Currently, two options 'on' and 'off' are allowed, and the default behavior is to disable FRED. To enable FRED, append "fred=on" to the kernel command line. [ bp: Use cpu_feature_enabled(), touch ups. ] Signed-off-by:

Any FRED enabled CPU will always have the following features as its baseline: 1) LKGS, load attributes of the GS segment but the base address into the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR instead of the GS segment’s descriptor cache. 2) WRMSRNS, non-serializing WRMSR for faster MSR writes. Signed-off-by: -

Intel VT-x classifies events into eight different types, which is inherited by FRED for event identification. As such, event types becomes a common x86 concept, and should be defined in a common x86 header. Add event type macros to <asm/trapnr.h>, and use them in <asm/vmx.h>. Suggested-by:

WRMSRNS is an instruction that behaves exactly like WRMSR, with the only difference being that it is not a serializing instruction by default. Under certain conditions, WRMSRNS may replace WRMSR to improve performance. Add its CPU feature bit, opcode to the x86 opcode map, and an always inline API __wrmsrns() to embed WRMSRNS into the code.
