At the last minute, they were switched from __x86_indirect_thunk_rax to __x86_indirect_thunk_ax without the 'r' or 'e' on the register name. Except for the _r[89..] versions, obviously.
This is not entirely an improvement, IMO. Reluctantly-signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <d...@amazon.co.uk> --- I think we *shouldn't* do this. Uros said we could look at it and make a decision, and GCC would implement what we decide. Up to Linus. I'm sending this because I've built the compiler with the proposed changes and tested it, and it's quarter past Monday and I'm done. Not because I really want it. arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S | 2 +- arch/x86/include/asm/asm-prototypes.h | 24 ++++++++++---------- arch/x86/lib/retpoline.S | 41 +++++++++++++++++------------------ 3 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 35 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S b/arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S index 59874bc..e393163 100644 --- a/arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S +++ b/arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S @@ -269,7 +269,7 @@ entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath: */ #ifdef CONFIG_RETPOLINE movq sys_call_table(, %rax, 8), %rax - call __x86_indirect_thunk_rax + call __x86_indirect_thunk_ax #else call *sys_call_table(, %rax, 8) #endif diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/asm-prototypes.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/asm-prototypes.h index 0927cdc..df80478 100644 --- a/arch/x86/include/asm/asm-prototypes.h +++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/asm-prototypes.h @@ -18,19 +18,7 @@ extern void cmpxchg8b_emu(void); #endif #ifdef CONFIG_RETPOLINE -#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32 -#define INDIRECT_THUNK(reg) extern asmlinkage void __x86_indirect_thunk_e ## reg(void); -#else -#define INDIRECT_THUNK(reg) extern asmlinkage void __x86_indirect_thunk_r ## reg(void); -INDIRECT_THUNK(8) -INDIRECT_THUNK(9) -INDIRECT_THUNK(10) -INDIRECT_THUNK(11) -INDIRECT_THUNK(12) -INDIRECT_THUNK(13) -INDIRECT_THUNK(14) -INDIRECT_THUNK(15) -#endif +#define INDIRECT_THUNK(reg) extern asmlinkage void __x86_indirect_thunk_ ## reg(void); INDIRECT_THUNK(ax) INDIRECT_THUNK(bx) INDIRECT_THUNK(cx) @@ -39,4 +27,14 @@ INDIRECT_THUNK(si) INDIRECT_THUNK(di) INDIRECT_THUNK(bp) INDIRECT_THUNK(sp) +#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT +INDIRECT_THUNK(r8) +INDIRECT_THUNK(r9) +INDIRECT_THUNK(r10) +INDIRECT_THUNK(r11) +INDIRECT_THUNK(r12) +INDIRECT_THUNK(r13) +INDIRECT_THUNK(r14) +INDIRECT_THUNK(r15) +#endif /* CONFIG_64BIT */ #endif /* CONFIG_RETPOLINE */ diff --git a/arch/x86/lib/retpoline.S b/arch/x86/lib/retpoline.S index cb45c6c..7da2c90 100644 --- a/arch/x86/lib/retpoline.S +++ b/arch/x86/lib/retpoline.S @@ -8,14 +8,14 @@ #include <asm/export.h> #include <asm/nospec-branch.h> -.macro THUNK reg - .section .text.__x86.indirect_thunk.\reg +.macro THUNK reg suffix + .section .text.__x86.indirect_thunk.\suffix -ENTRY(__x86_indirect_thunk_\reg) +ENTRY(__x86_indirect_thunk_\suffix) CFI_STARTPROC JMP_NOSPEC %\reg CFI_ENDPROC -ENDPROC(__x86_indirect_thunk_\reg) +ENDPROC(__x86_indirect_thunk_\suffix) .endm /* @@ -26,23 +26,22 @@ ENDPROC(__x86_indirect_thunk_\reg) * the simple and nasty way... */ #define EXPORT_THUNK(reg) EXPORT_SYMBOL(__x86_indirect_thunk_ ## reg) -#define GENERATE_THUNK(reg) THUNK reg ; EXPORT_THUNK(reg) +#define GENERATE_THUNK(reg, suffix) THUNK reg suffix; EXPORT_THUNK(suffix) -GENERATE_THUNK(_ASM_AX) -GENERATE_THUNK(_ASM_BX) -GENERATE_THUNK(_ASM_CX) -GENERATE_THUNK(_ASM_DX) -GENERATE_THUNK(_ASM_SI) -GENERATE_THUNK(_ASM_DI) -GENERATE_THUNK(_ASM_BP) -GENERATE_THUNK(_ASM_SP) +GENERATE_THUNK(_ASM_AX, ax) +GENERATE_THUNK(_ASM_BX, bx) +GENERATE_THUNK(_ASM_CX, cx) +GENERATE_THUNK(_ASM_DX, dx) +GENERATE_THUNK(_ASM_SI, si) +GENERATE_THUNK(_ASM_DI, di) +GENERATE_THUNK(_ASM_BP, bp) #ifdef CONFIG_64BIT -GENERATE_THUNK(r8) -GENERATE_THUNK(r9) -GENERATE_THUNK(r10) -GENERATE_THUNK(r11) -GENERATE_THUNK(r12) -GENERATE_THUNK(r13) -GENERATE_THUNK(r14) -GENERATE_THUNK(r15) +GENERATE_THUNK(r8, r8) +GENERATE_THUNK(r9, r9) +GENERATE_THUNK(r10, r10) +GENERATE_THUNK(r11, r11) +GENERATE_THUNK(r12, r12) +GENERATE_THUNK(r13, r13) +GENERATE_THUNK(r14, r14) +GENERATE_THUNK(r15, r15) #endif -- 2.7.4
