Most kernel memory that is allocated after boot does not need to be
executable. There are a few exceptions. For example, kernel modules
do need executable memory, but they don't use UMA or malloc(9). The
BPF JIT compiler also needs executable memory and did use malloc(9)
until r317072.
(Note that a side effect of r316767 was that the "small allocation"
path in UMA on amd64 already returned non-executable memory. This
meant that some calls to malloc(9) or the UMA zone(9) allocator could
return executable memory, while others could return non-executable
memory. This change makes the behavior consistent.)
This change makes malloc(9) return non-executable memory unless the new
M_EXEC flag is specified. After this change, the UMA zone(9) allocator
will always return non-executable memory, and a KASSERT will catch
attempts to use the M_EXEC flag to allocate executable memory using
uma_zalloc() or its variants.
Allocations that do need executable memory have various choices. They
may use the M_EXEC flag to malloc(9), or they may use a different VM
interfact to obtain executable pages.
Now that malloc(9) again allows executable allocations, this change also
reverts most of r317072.

time, especially for SMP. If configured, it turns itself on at boot
time for calibration, so is fragile even if never otherwise used.
Both types of kernel profiling were supposed to use a global spinlock
in the SMP case. If hi-res profiling is configured (but not necessarily
used), this was supposed to be optimized by only using it when
necessary, and slightly more efficiently, in asm. But it was not done
at all for mcount entry where it is necessary. This caused crashes
in the SMP case when either type of profiling was enabled. For mcount
exit, it only caused wrong times. The times were wrongest with an
i8254 timer since using that requires exclusive access to the hardware.
The i8254 timer was too slow to use here 20 years ago and is much less
usable now, but it is the default for the SMP case since TSCs weren't
invariant when SMP was new. Do the locking in all hi-res SMP cases for
simplicity.
Calibration uses special asms, and the clobber lists in these were sort
of inverted. They contained the arg and return registers which are not
clobbered, but on amd64 they didn't contain the residue of the call-used
registers which may be clobbered (%r10 and %r11). This usually caused
hangs at boot time. This usually affected even the UP case.
kernel profiling remains broken).
memmove() was broken using ALTENTRY(). ALTENTRY() is only different from
ENTRY() in the profiling case, and its use in that case was sort of
backwards. The backwardness magically turned memmove() into memcpy()
instead of completely breaking it. Only the high resolution parts of
profiling itself were broken. Use ordinary ENTRY() for memmove().
Turn bcopy() into a tail call to memmove() to reduce complications.
This gives slightly different pessimizations and profiling lossage.
The pessimizations are minimized by not using a frame pointer() for
bcopy().
Calls to profiling functions from exception trampolines were not
relocated. This caused crashes on the first exception. Fix this using
function pointers.
Addresses of exception handlers in trampolines were not relocated. This
caused unknown offsets in the profiling data. Relocate by abusing
setidt_disp as for pmc although this is slower than necessary and
requires namespace pollution. pmc seems to be missing some relocations.
Stack traces and lots of other things in debuggers need similar relocations.
Most user addresses were misclassified as unknown kernel addresses and
then ignored. Treat all unknown addresses as user. Now only user
addresses in the kernel text range are significantly misclassified (as
known kernel addresses).
The ibrs functions didn't preserve enough registers. This is the only
recent breakage on amd64. Although these functions are written in
asm, in the profiling case they call profiling functions which are
mostly for the C ABI, so they only have to save call-used registers.
They also have to save arg and return registers in some cases and
actually save them in all cases to reduce complications. They end up
saving all registers except %ecx on i386 and %r10 and %r11 on amd64.
Saving these is only needed for 1 caller on each of amd64 and i386.
Save them there. This is slightly simpler.
Remove saving %ecx in handle_ibrs_exit on i386. Both handle_ibrs_entry
and handle_ibrs_exit use %ecx, but only the latter needed to or did
save it. But saving it there doesn't work for the profiling case.
amd64 has more automatic saving of the most common scratch registers
%rax, %rcx and %rdx (its complications for %r10 are from unusual use
of %r10 by SYSCALL). Thus profiling of handle_ibrs_exit_rs() was not
broken, and I didn't simplify the saving by moving the saving of these
registers from it to the caller.
Intel now provides comprehensive tables for all performance counters
and the various valid configuration permutations as text .json files.
Libpmc has been converted to use these and hwpmc_core has been greatly
simplified by moving to passthrough of the table values.
The one gotcha is that said tables don't support pentium pro and and pentium
IV. There's very few users of hwpmc on _amd64_ kernels on new hardware. It is
unlikely that anyone is doing low level optimization on 15 year old Intel
hardware. Nonetheless, if someone feels strongly enough to populate the
corresponding tables for p4 and ppro I will reinstate the files in to the
build.
Code for the K8 counters and !x86 architectures remains unchanged.
This is a follow-up to r321483, which disabled -Wmacro-redefined for
some lib/msun tests.
If an application included both fenv.h and ieeefp.h, several macros such
as __fldcw(), __fldenv() were defined in both headers, with slightly
different arguments, leading to conflicts.
Fix this by putting all the common macros in the machine-specific
versions of ieeefp.h. Where needed, update the arguments in places
where the macros are invoked.
This also slightly reduces the differences between the amd64 and i386
versions of ieeefp.h.

We certainly should clear PSL_T when calling the SIGTRAP signal
handler, which is already done by all x86 sendsig(9) ABI code. On the
other hand, there is no obvious reason why PSL_T needs to be cleared
when returning from the signal handler. For instance, Linux allows
userspace to set PSL_T and keep tracing enabled for the desired
period. There are userspace programs which would use PSL_T if we make
it possible, for instance sbcl.
Remember if PSL_T was set by PT_STEP or PT_SETSTEP by mean of TDB_STEP
flag, and only clear it when the flag is set.

- Refer to T_TRCTRAP as "debug exception" rather than a "trace trap"

- Always read DR6 for debug exceptions and only clear TF in the flags
register for user exceptions where DR6.BS is set.
- Clear DR6 before returning from a debug exception handler as
recommended by the SDM dating all the way back to the 386. This
allows debuggers to determine the cause of each exception. For
kernel traps, clear DR6 in the T_TRCTRAP case and pass DR6 by value
to other parts of the handler (namely, user_dbreg_trap()). For user
traps, wait until after trapsignal to clear DR6 so that userland
debuggers can read DR6 via PT_GETDBREGS while the thread is stopped
in trapsignal().

Since pop %ss/mov %ss instructions defer all interrupts and exceptions
for the next instruction, it is possible that the userspace watchpoint
trap executes on the first instruction of the kernel entry for
syscall/bpt.
In this case, DB# should be treated similarly to NMI: on amd64 we must
always load GSBASE even if the trap comes from kernel mode, and load
the kernel page table root into %cr3. Moreover, the trap must
use the dedicated stack, because we are still on the user stack when
trapped on syscall entry.
For i386, we must reload %cr3. The syscall instruction is not configured,
so there is no issue with executing on user stack when trapping.
Due to some CPU erratas it is not always possible to detect that the
userspace watchpoint triggered by inspecting %dr6. In trap(), compare the
trap %rip with the known unsafe entry points and if matched pretend that
the watchpoint did not fire at all.
