This allows the context and parent thread objects to be created earlier,
allowing the VDSO and ELFCodeLoader mapping functions to have a thread
object for tracking memory mappings through the regular guest routines.
This means that we no longer need to do any form of deferred handling
for code caching as all the state is ready early in the initialization
process.
A little bit of care needed to be taken to ensure we still close the
ELFCodeLoader's FDs later and that VDSO unmapping happens before tearing
down the parent thread, but overall this is mostly just passing the
InternalThreadState object around as normal.
I couldn't find any functional regression from this change alongside
code caching, but it would be good for @neobrain to double check this.
Adds it to the VDSO handling, it's not necessarily a VDSO function but
it behaves as such as it is in every single process. This means we get
to reuse the mapped page for every process when thunks are built,
shaving a page out of 32-bit processes.
Also, fixes a bug in guest VDSO symbol loading where clang sticks all
symbols in to `.dynsym` where gcc sticks them in to `.symtab`. Search
both. This effectively meant the couple of guest VDSO symbols were
always failing to get found, causing us to allocate yet another page on
32-bit. So effectively three pages stolen.
This also means we can remove the Linux specific X86HelperGen stuff from
FEXCore, only passing a single "VDSO" function pointer to the backend
for the dispatcher. Once again moving the Linux stuff to the frontend is
good.
Fixes an assert about about untracked noexec code `NoExec
instruction in entry block: FFFFE000` whenever thunk callbacks were
used.
This is an interesting vdso implementation because it only exists in
x86-64 with kernel v6.11. For Arm64 the implementation is likely to land
in a couple kernel versions from now.
Some differences with vdso_getrandom versus the regular getrandom
syscall
- Has two additional arguments, opaque_state and opaque_len
- Expects the userspace to mmap/munmap this opaque state structure
- Lets userspace query information about this structure upfront
- If the opaque data structure isn't provided then it falls back to
regular SYS_getrandom
With the "glibc" implementation, we can tell the interface to allocate a
single page that gets unused (otherwise glibc ends up not using the
interface), and fallback to the regular SYS_getrandom.
In the case of the vdso interface, currently the arguments just get
passed through.
Keeping this as a WIP until the ARM64 kernel patches land and I can
actually test the things. Running the "glibc" path works today with the
selftest, but the vdso path is currently completely untested.
No functional change here.
- CoreRunningMode enum and variable wasn't used anymore.
- Code was moved to the frontend
- CustomCPUFactory wasn't used anymore
- All special signal handling and various features were moved to
TestHarnessRunner
- We also don't want to support actual custom CPU cores.
- TestHarnessRunner just runs as a host runner if compiled on an
x86-64 device if vixl sim isn't enabled now.
- Removes the Core config option entirely.
- Moves VDSOPointers struct to the frontend
- Every use of this lives in the Linux frontend instead now
These are a Linux construct and should live here. Removes a weird
passthrough API from FEXCore and keeps it in the frontend instead.
This isn't even typically allocated in a real setup, as it's only a
fallback for if VDSO isn't loaded.
The CallbackReturn function stays in FEXCore because it would have
caused an API in the other direction instead.
This causes a global initializer that registers an atexit handler.
Be smarter, use an std::array and pass its data around using a span
instead.
Removes the global initializer and removes the atexit installation
Which requires moving LinuxEmulation to its own independent folder as
well. Since both IRLoader and FEXLoader rely on it.
No functional change, just moves the the code around.
