Mark vget_cycles() as __always_inline, so gcc is never tempted to make the vsyscall vread_tsc() dive into kernel text, with resulting SIGSEGV. This was a self-inflicted wound: I've not seen that happen with unhacked sources; but for debug reasons I'd changed my x86/Makefile to compile no-unit-at-a-time, and that in conjunction with OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y ended up with vget_cycles() in kernel text. Perhaps it can happen in other ways: safer to use __always_inline. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This patch implements the PR_GET_TSC and PR_SET_TSC prctl() commands on the x86 platform (both 32 and 64 bit.) These commands control the ability to read the timestamp counter from userspace (the RDTSC instruction.) While the RDTSC instuction is a useful profiling tool, it is also the source of some non-determinism in ring-3. For deterministic replay applications it is useful to be able to trap and emulate (and record the outcome of) this instruction. This patch uses code earlier used to disable the timestamp counter for the SECCOMP framework. A side-effect of this patch is that the SECCOMP environment will now also disable the timestamp counter on x86_64 due to the addition of the TIF_NOTSC define on this platform. The code which enables/disables the RDTSC instruction during context switches is in the __switch_to_xtra function, which already handles other unusual conditions, so normal performance should not have to suffer from this change.

This patch splits get_cycles_sync() into __get_cycles_sync(), and the rdtscll part. Paravirt guests cannot issue rdtscl directly, as it involves a function call in vdso area. So, using the __get_cycles_sync() base, we introduce vget_cycles_sync, which then calls the native version of rdtscll. Ideally, however, a guest should define its own clocksource, together with a vread function Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
