Add a new .note section containing type, size, offset and flags of every xfeature that is present. This information will be used by debuggers to understand the XSAVE layout of the machine where the core file has been dumped, and to read XSAVE registers, especially during cross-platform debugging. The XSAVE layouts of modern AMD and Intel CPUs differ, especially since Memory Protection Keys and the AVX-512 features have been inculcated into the AMD CPUs. Since AMD never adopted (and hence never left room in the XSAVE layout for) the Intel MPX feature. Tools like GDB had assumed a fixed XSAVE layout matching that of Intel (based on the XCR0 mask). Hence, core dumps from AMD CPUs didn't match the known size for the XCR0 mask. This resulted in GDB and other tools not being able to access the values of the AVX-512 and PKRU registers on AMD CPUs. To solve this, an interim solution has been accepted into GDB, and is already a part of GDB 14, see https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-March/198081.html. But it depends on heuristics based on the total XSAVE register set size and the XCR0 mask to infer the layouts of the various register blocks for core dumps, and hence, is not a foolproof mechanism to determine the layout of the XSAVE area. Therefore, add a new core dump note in order to allow GDB/LLDB and other relevant tools to determine the layout of the XSAVE area of the machine where the corefile was dumped. The new core dump note (which is being proposed as a per-process .note section), NT_X86_XSAVE_LAYOUT (0x205) contains an array of structures. Each structure describes an individual extended feature containing offset, size and flags in this format: struct x86_xfeat_component { u32 type; u32 size; u32 offset; u32 flags; }; and in an independent manner, allowing for future extensions without depending on hw arch specifics like CPUID etc. Co-developed-by: Jini Susan George <jinisusan.george@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jini Susan George <jinisusan.george@xxxxxxx> Co-developed-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Vignesh Balasubramanian <vigbalas@xxxxxxx> --- V3->v4: Moved struct xfeat_comp to newly added uapi header arch/x86/Kconfig | 1 + arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/elf.h | 15 ++++++ arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.c | 89 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/binfmt_elf.c | 4 +- include/uapi/linux/elf.h | 1 + 5 files changed, 108 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/elf.h diff --git a/arch/x86/Kconfig b/arch/x86/Kconfig index cbe5fac4b9dd..476572c10bbb 100644 --- a/arch/x86/Kconfig +++ b/arch/x86/Kconfig @@ -107,6 +107,7 @@ config X86 select ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_WX select ARCH_HAS_ZONE_DMA_SET if EXPERT select ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG + select ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_ELF_NOTES select ARCH_MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY_ENABLE select ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_ACPI_PDC if ACPI select ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT diff --git a/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/elf.h b/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/elf.h new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..cf037e1c8e37 --- /dev/null +++ b/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/elf.h @@ -0,0 +1,15 @@ +/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note */ +#ifndef _UAPI_ASM_X86_ELF_H +#define _UAPI_ASM_X86_ELF_H + +struct x86_xfeat_component { + u32 type;
