2026-03-11x86/vdso: Use 32-bit CHECKFLAGS for compat vDSOThomas Weißschuh1-0/+4
When building the compat vDSO the CHECKFLAGS from the 64-bit kernel are used. These are combined with the 32-bit CFLAGS. This confuses sparse, producing false-positive warnings or potentially missing real issues. Manually override the CHECKFLAGS for the compat vDSO with the correct 32-bit configuration.

2026-03-04x86/entry/vdso32: Work around libgcc unwinder bugH. Peter Anvin1-0/+30
The unwinder code in libgcc has a long standing bug which causes it to fail to pick up the signal frame CFI flag. This is a generic bug across all platforms. It affects the __kernel_sigreturn and __kernel_rt_sigreturn vdso entry points on i386. The x86-64 kernel doesn't provide a sigreturn stub, and so there is no kernel-provided code that is affected on x86-64. libgcc does have a legacy fallback path which happens to work as long as the bytes immediately before each of the sigreturn functions fall outside any function. This patch adds a nop before the ALIGN to each of the sigreturn stubs to ensure that this is, indeed, the case. The rest of the patch is just a comment which documents the invariants that need to be maintained for this legacy path to work correctly. This is a manifest bug: in the current vdso, __kernel_vsyscall is a multiple of 16 bytes long and thus __kernel_sigreturn does not have any padding in front of it.

2026-02-10x86: keep legacy generated vdso files around in .gitignore fileLinus Torvalds1-1/+2
Commit 93d73005bff4 ("x86/entry/vdso: Rename vdso_image_* to vdso*_image") updated the vdso .gitignore file with the new filenames, which is certainly not incorrect. However, while adding new generated names is obviously the right thing to do, you should *not* immediately remove the old filenames from the .gitignore file when things move around or get renamed, because people still have those old generated files in their build trees - and they haven't suddenly become valid files to commit to the repository just because they were moved or renamed. While it's mostly just a slight visual nuisance for 'git status' that can be fixed up with a clean build tree, it can become more serious than that: see for example commit 04a3389b3535 ("Remove stale generated 'genheaders' file"). That commit removed up a stale generated file that had been carelessly committed by a kernel developer because it wasn't properly ignored any more and thus showed up as a new file in their tree.

2026-01-16x86/entry/vdso: Fix filtering of vdso compiler flagsH. Peter Anvin1-2/+2
This fixes several typos in the filtering of compiler flags for vdso, discovered by Chris Mason using an AI script: 1. "-fno-PIE" was written as "fno-PIE". 2. "CC_PLUGINS_FLAGS" was written as "CC_PLUGIN_FLAGS" To the best of my knowledge, none of these actually had any real impact on the build at this time but they are genuine bugs which could break things at any point in the future. Chris's script also found that "CONFIG_X86_USER_SHADOW_STACK" was missing "CONFIG_", but it needs a different fix.

2026-01-14vdso: Remove struct getcpu_cacheThomas Weißschuh1-3/+2
The cache parameter of getcpu() is useless nowadays for various reasons. * It is never passed by userspace for either the vDSO or syscalls. * It is never used by the kernel. * It could not be made to work on the current vDSO architecture. * The structure definition is not part of the UAPI headers. * vdso_getcpu() is superseded by restartable sequences in any case. Remove the struct and its header. As a side-effect this gets rid of an unwanted inclusion of the linux/ header namespace from vDSO code.

When neither sysenter32 nor syscall32 is available (on either FRED-capable 64-bit hardware or old 32-bit hardware), there is no reason to do a bunch of stack shuffling in __kernel_vsyscall. Unfortunately, just overwriting the initial "push" instructions will mess up the CFI annotations, so suffer the 3-byte NOP if not applicable. Similarly, inline the int $0x80 when doing inline system calls in the vdso instead of calling __kernel_vsyscall. Signed-off-by: H.

2026-01-13x86/cpufeature: Replace X86_FEATURE_SYSENTER32 with X86_FEATURE_SYSFAST32H. Peter Anvin1-6/+2
In most cases, the use of "fast 32-bit system call" depends either on X86_FEATURE_SEP or X86_FEATURE_SYSENTER32 || X86_FEATURE_SYSCALL32. However, nearly all the logic for both is identical. Define X86_FEATURE_SYSFAST32 which indicates that *either* SYSENTER32 or SYSCALL32 should be used, for either 32- or 64-bit kernels. This defaults to SYSENTER; use SYSCALL if the SYSCALL32 bit is also set. As this removes ALL existing uses of X86_FEATURE_SYSENTER32, which is a kernel-only synthetic feature bit, simply remove it and replace it with X86_FEATURE_SYSFAST32. This leaves an unused alternative for a true 32-bit kernel, but that should really not matter in any way. The clearing of X86_FEATURE_SYSCALL32 can be removed once the patches for automatically clearing disabled features has been merged. Signed-off-by: H.

2026-01-13x86/entry/vdso: Include GNU_PROPERTY and GNU_STACK PHDRsH. Peter Anvin1-15/+23
Currently the vdso doesn't include .note.gnu.property or a GNU noexec stack annotation (the -z noexecstack in the linker script is ineffective because we specify PHDRs explicitly.) The motivation is that the dynamic linker currently do not check these. However, this is a weak excuse: the vdso*.so are also supposed to be usable at link libraries, and there is no reason why the dynamic linker might not want or need to check these in the future, so add them back in -- it is trivial enough.

2026-01-13x86/entry/vdso32: Remove open-coded DWARF in sigreturn.SH. Peter Anvin1-114/+32
The vdso32 sigreturn.S contains open-coded DWARF bytecode, which includes a hack for gdb to not try to step back to a previous call instruction when backtracing from a signal handler. Neither of those are necessary anymore: the backtracing issue is handled by ".cfi_entry simple" and ".cfi_signal_frame", both of which have been supported for a very long time now, which allows the remaining frame to be built using regular .cfi annotations. Add a few more register offsets to the signal frame just for good measure. Replace the nop on fallthrough of the system call (which should never, ever happen) with a ud2a trap. Signed-off-by: H.

The override capability, however, is not used anywhere, and the macro name is potentially confusing because it seems to imply that sysenter/syscall could be used here, which is NOT true: the sigreturn system calls MUST use int $0x80.

2026-01-13x86/entry/vdso32: Don't rely on int80_landing_pad for adjusting ipH. Peter Anvin1-10/+6
There is no fundamental reason to use the int80_landing_pad symbol to adjust ip when moving the vdso. If ip falls within the vdso, and the vdso is moved, we should change the ip accordingly, regardless of mode or location within the vdso. This *currently* can only happen on 32 bits, but there isn't any reason not to do so generically. Note that if this is ever possible from a vdso-internal call, then the user space stack will also needed to be adjusted (as well as the shadow stack, if enabled.) Fortunately this is not currently the case. At the moment, we don't even consider other threads when moving the vdso. The assumption is that it is only used by process freeze/thaw for migration, where this is not an issue. Signed-off-by: H.

2026-01-13x86/entry/vdso: Refactor the vdso buildH. Peter Anvin21-186/+180
- Separate out the vdso sources into common, vdso32, and vdso64 directories. - Build the 32- and 64-bit vdsos in their respective subdirectories; this greatly simplifies the build flags handling. - Unify the mangling of Makefile flags between the 32- and 64-bit vdso code as much as possible; all common rules are put in arch/x86/entry/vdso/common/Makefile.include. The remaining is very simple for 32 bits; the 64-bit one is only slightly more complicated because it contains the x32 generation rule. - Define __DISABLE_EXPORTS when building the vdso. This need seems to have been masked by different ordering compile flags before. - Change CONFIG_X86_64 to BUILD_VDSO32_64 in vdso32/system_call.S, to make it compatible with including fake_32bit_build.h. - The -fcf-protection= option was "leaking" from the kernel build, for reasons that was not clear to me. Furthermore, several distributions ship with it set to a default value other than "-fcf-protection=none". Make it match the configuration options for *user space*. Note that this patch may seem large, but the vast majority of it is simply code movement. Signed-off-by: H.

The vdso .so files are named vdso*.so. These structures are binary images and descriptions of these files, so it is more consistent for them to have a naming that more directly mirrors the filenames.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull VDSO infrastructure updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Consolidate the VDSO storage The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance effort and causes inconsistencies over and over. There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts and implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of duplicated code for managing the mappings. Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the functionalities without conflict and interaction. - Rework the timekeeping data storage The current implementation is designed for exposing system timekeeping accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was designed. PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related to system timekeeping. Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing both the data structures and the time accessor implementations. * tag 'timers-vdso-2025-03-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (55 commits) sparc/vdso: Always reject undefined references during linking x86/vdso: Always reject undefined references during linking vdso: Rework struct vdso_time_data and introduce struct vdso_clock vdso: Move architecture related data before basetime data powerpc/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock arm64/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock x86/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock time/namespace: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/namespace: Rename timens_setup_vdso_data() to reflect new vdso_clock struct vdso/vsyscall: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare helper functions for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_coarse_timens() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_coarse() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_hres_timens() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_hres() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/helpers: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/datapage: Define vdso_clock to prepare for multiple PTP clocks vdso: Make vdso_time_data cacheline aligned arm64: Make asm/cache.h compatible with vDSO ...
2025-03-19x86/headers: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in non-UAPI headersThomas Huth1-1/+1
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with UAPI headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now. This is mostly a mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), with some manual tweaks in <asm/frame.h>, <asm/hw_irq.h> and <asm/setup.h> that mentioned this macro in comments with some missing underscores.

Before this patch, vdso_enabled was allowed to be set to a value exceeding 1 on x86_32 architecture. After this patch is applied, vdso_enabled is not permitted to set the value more than 1. It does not matter, because according to the function load_vdso32(), only vdso_enabled is set to 1, VDSO would be enabled. Other values all mean "disabled".
