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>

Changes since v1:
shorter insn to test EFLAGS.VM (suggested by Linus)
check EFLAGS.VM only if CONFIG_VM86
