[v8,1/2] riscv: Include riscv_set_icache_flush_ctx prctl

Commit Message

Charlie Jenkins Jan. 17, 2024, 2:54 a.m. UTC

Support new prctl with key PR_RISCV_SET_ICACHE_FLUSH_CTX to enable
optimization of cross modifying code. This prctl enables userspace code
to use icache flushing instructions such as fence.i with the guarantee
that the icache will continue to be clean after thread migration.

Why would we need a prev_cpu on mm? Why don't we only need to have a 
prev_cpu per thread, i.e. per task_struct? It makes little sense to me 
to have that on mm since it's shared by multiple threads (by 
definition), so the prev_cpu on mm could be anything.

Here the test would become:

return ((task->mm && task->mm->context.force_icache_flush) || 
task->thread.force_icache_flush) && (cpu != task->thread.prev_cpu);

And do we really need to check task->mm is not null?

And just to make sure I understand this: you moved the test in 
switch_to() because 2 threads with the same mm could be scheduled one 
after the other on the same cpu and then switch_mm() would not be called?

Yes you are correct, I will remove that.

mm can be null if the task is associated with a kernel thread. So the
check is necessary.

To add more context to the case that I was overlooking when I wrote this
code, this is the case that fails. I will send out a new version without
prev_cpu on mm.

- Thread A is migrated to CPU A so the mm sets prev_cpu to CPU A.
- Thread B is doing cmodx on CPU B so the icache is not synchronized with instruction storage on CPU A or CPU B.
- Thread A doesn't flush the icache.
- Thread B migrates to CPU A and the icache is not flushed because prev_cpu is CPU A.
- CPU A icache is still not synchronized with instruction storage.

+ * * %PR_RISCV_CTX_SW_FENCEI_ON: Allow fence.i in userspace.
+ *
+ * * %PR_RISCV_CTX_SW_FENCEI_OFF: Disallow fence.i in userspace. When ``scope ==
+ *   PR_RISCV_SCOPE_PER_PROCESS``, this will effect all threads in a process.
+ *   Therefore, caution must be taken -- only use this flag when you can
+ *   guarantee that no thread in the process will emit fence.i from this point
+ *   onward.
+ *
+ * @scope: Set scope of where icache flushing instructions are allowed to be
+ *	   emitted. Supported values described below.
+ *
+ * Supported values for scope:
+ *
+ * * PR_RISCV_SCOPE_PER_PROCESS: Ensure the icache of any thread in this process
+ *                               is coherent with instruction storage upon
+ *                               migration.
+ *
+ * * PR_RISCV_SCOPE_PER_THREAD: Ensure the icache of the current thread is
+ *                              coherent with instruction storage upon
+ *                              migration.
+ *
+ * When ``scope == PR_RISCV_SCOPE_PER_PROCESS``, all threads in the process are
+ * permitted to emit icache flushing instructions. Whenever any thread in the
+ * process is migrated, the corresponding hart's icache will be guaranteed to be
+ * consistent with instruction storage. Note this does not enforce any
+ * guarantees outside of migration. If a thread modifies an instruction that
+ * another thread may attempt to execute, the other thread must still emit an
+ * icache flushing instruction before attempting to execute the potentially
+ * modified instruction. This must be performed by the userspace program.
+ *
+ * In per-thread context (eg. ``scope == PR_RISCV_SCOPE_PER_THREAD``), only the
+ * thread calling this function is permitted to emit icache flushing
+ * instructions. When the thread is migrated, the corresponding hart's icache
+ * will be guaranteed to be consistent with instruction storage.
+ *
+ * On kernels configured without SMP, this function is a nop as migrations
+ * across harts will not occur.
