Subject: [PATCH v2] x86: entry_32.S: change ESPFIX test to not touch PT_OLDSS(%esp)
Date: Mon,  9 Mar 2015 17:44:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1425919450-19116-1-git-send-email-dvlasenk@redhat.com> (raw)

Old code was trying to avoid having three branch insns,
but instead it has a chain of six insns where each insn
depends on previos one.

And it was touching PT_OLDSS(%esp) unconditionally, even when it may
contain bogus data. Elsewhere we have to jump thru hoops
just to make sure here PT_OLDSS(%esp) is at least in a valid page.

All this just to have one branch instead of three?

The new code simply checks each condition.
All three checks can run in parallel on an out-of-order CPU.
Most of the time, none of branches will be taken.

Comparison of object code:
    Old:
     1e6:   8b 44 24 38             mov    0x38(%esp),%eax
     1ea:   8a 64 24 40             mov    0x40(%esp),%ah
     1ee:   8a 44 24 34             mov    0x34(%esp),%al
     1f2:   25 03 04 02 00          and    $0x20403,%eax
     1f7:   3d 03 04 00 00          cmp    $0x403,%eax
     1fc:   74 0f                   je     20d <ldt_ss>
    New:
     1e6:   f6 44 24 3a 02          testb  $0x2,0x3a(%esp)
     1eb:   75 0e                   jne    1fb <restore_nocheck>
     1ed:   f6 44 24 34 03          testb  $0x3,0x34(%esp)
     1f2:   74 07                   je     1fb <restore_nocheck>
     1f4:   f6 44 24 40 04          testb  $0x4,0x40(%esp)
     1f9:   75 0f                   jne    20a <ldt_ss>
