Commit Message

Andrew Cooper May 1, 2020, 10:58 p.m. UTC
Introduce CONFIG_HAS_AS_CET to determine whether CET instructions are
supported in the assembler, and CONFIG_XEN_SHSTK as the main build option.

Introduce xen={no-,}shstk to for a user to select whether or not to use shadow
stacks at runtime, and X86_FEATURE_XEN_SHSTK to determine Xen's overall
enablement of shadow stacks.

I see you add as-instr here as a side effect. Until the other
similar checks get converted, I think for the time being we should
use the old model, to have all such checks in one place. I realize
this means you can't have a Kconfig dependency then.

Also why do you check multiple insns, when just one (like we do
elsewhere) would suffice?

The crucial insns to check are those which got changed pretty
close before the release of 2.29 (in the cover letter you
mention 2.32): One of incssp{d,q}, setssbsy, or saveprevssp.
There weren't official binutils releases with the original
insns, but distros may still have picked up intermediate
snapshots.

Indentation looks odd here - the whole help section should
start with hard tabs, I think.

What's the idea here going forward, i.e. why the new top level
"xen" option? Almost all options are for Xen itself, after all.
Did you perhaps mean this to be "cet"?

Also you surely meant to document this new option?

CLANG_FLAGS caught my eye here, then noticing that cc-option
also uses it. Anthony - what's the deal with this? It doesn't
look to get defined anywhere, and I also don't see what clang-
specific about these constructs.

No.  That's like asking me to keep on using bool_t, and you are the
first person to point out and object to that in newly submitted patches.

> elsewhere) would suffice?

Because CET-SS and CET-IBT are orthogonal ABIs, but you wanted a single
CET symbol, rather than a CET_SS symbol.

I picked a sample of various instructions to get broad coverage of CET
without including every instruction.

I've got zero interest in catering to distros which are still using
obsolete pre-release toolchains.  Bleeding edge toolchains are one
thing, but this is like asking us to support the middle changeset of the
series introducing CET, which is absolutely a non-starter.

If the instructions were missing from real binutils releases, then
obviously we should exclude those releases, but that doesn't appear to
be the case.

I forgot an RFC for this, as I couldn't think of anything better.  "cet"
as a top level option isn't going to gain more than {no-}shstk and
{no-}ibt as suboptions.

This is as it inherits from Linux.  There is obviously a reason.

However, I'm not interested in diving into that rabbit hole in an
unrelated series.

These are entirely different things. The bool_t => bool
conversion is agreed upon. The conversion to record tool chain
capabilities in xen/.config isn't. I've raised my reservations
against this elsewhere. I can be convinced, but not by trying to
introduce such functionality as a side effect of an unrelated
change.

I wanted HAS_AS_CET rather than HAS_AS_CET_SS and HAS_AS_CET_IBT
because both got added to gas at the same time, and hence there's
little point in having separate symbols. If there was a reason to
assume assemblers might be out there which support one but not
the other, then we indeed ought to have two symbols.

But you realize that there's no special effort needed? We merely
need to check for the right insns. Their operands not matching
for binutils from the intermediate time window is enough for our
purposes. With my remark I merely meant to guide which of the
three insns you've picked needs to remain, and which would imo
better be dropped.

Imo that's still better than "xen=".

That's fine - my question was directed at Anthony after all.

It's because these constructs are gcc-specific :-). Indeed CLANG_FLAGS
probably needs to be defined as I don't think providing the full
AFLAGS/CFLAGS is going to be a good idea and may change the result of
the commands.

Linux has a few clang specific flags in CLANG_FLAGS, I have found those:
    The ones for cross compilation: --prefix, --target, --gcc-toolchain
    -no-integrated-as
    -Werror=unknown-warning-option
And that's it.

So, I think we could keep using CLANG_FLAGS in Kconfig.include and
define it in Makefile with a comment saying that it's only used by
Kconfig. It would always have -Werror=unknown-warning-option and have
-no-integrated-as when needed, the -Wunknown-warning-option is present
in clang 3.0.0, according Linux's commit 589834b3a009 ("kbuild: Add
-Werror=unknown-warning-option to CLANG_FLAGS").

The options -Werror=unknown-warning-option is to make sure that the
warning is enabled, even though it is by default but could be disabled
in a particular build of clang, see e8de12fb7cde ("kbuild: Check for
unknown options with cc-option usage in Kconfig and clang")

I'll write a patch with this new CLANG_FLAGS.
