When running on a system with a 48-bit VA, if FEX does any allocations
between us reserving the upper 128TB and the application running, then
/technically/ we are intersecting with the application's memory region
in the lower 47-bits.
This didn't typically result in any problems due to how ASLR works, but
if we did any large allocations (like #4291 wants with 128MB VMA region)
then these typically get pushed higher in the VA space.
Again not usually a problem, but if you happen to be running an
application that is using MAP_FIXED with hardcoded addresses then this
can stomp over FEX-Emu memory causing problems.
This is what happens with Wine, it reserves the upper-32MB of its 47-bit
VA space, which is /highly/ likely to stomp on FEX memory. In-fact it
likely occurs all the time, we just got lucky with whatever it was
clobbering wasn't used at the time.
On 39-bit VA systems this isn't a problem because the mmap fails
outright with a warning message from WINE.
Because we are already reserving the upper 128TB of VA space, instead
just always enable our allocator and use the regions that were reserved.
We need to be a little bit careful to ensure we don't accidentally
allocate more memory post-reservation but that just requires a small
adjustment to our unique_ptr and constructor for the 64BitAllocator.
This means /all/ FEX-Emu allocations will be in the upper 128TB VA space
when running 64-bit applications on a 48-bit VA system. Which is kind of
nice.
Fixes WINE in #4291 when the allocator stats are bumped to 128MB per
process.
Brought up in #4225 where it had issues with Openat2 which was added in
5.8.
The main driving force around minimum kernel version requirement is that
the lowest kernel version in our CI is 5.15. A benefit to this choice is
that this is an LTS release, which is also what Ubuntu 22.04 is
shipping.
Once the single CI machine is fixed to ship something newer then the
next logical choice would be kernel 6.1 which is also LTS, but until
then just lift it to 5.15. This version was released in October 2021,
and is supported by the kernel developers until 2026. Our previous
minimum of 5.0 was released in March 2019, so a two year leap here.
This removes the openat2 workaround that was necessary to pass our CI
since it is no longer necessary.
Some early FEXServer startup log failures weren't getting printed
correctly. They were going through the LogManager but before FEXServer
setup, or even stderr/stdout logman setup. So they were just getting
written to -1 and failing.
Fixes#4155
Now that all the threading behaviour has been correctly separated/moved
to the frontend, these functions serve no purpose.
- Instead of using RunUntilExit, all threads can use `ExecuteThread`
directly, since there's nothing special about the primary thread now.
- This also removes the public function definition of `ExecutionThread` since that was only used for threading logic.
- Instead of using an exit handler, just do the same cleanup after
`ExecuteThread` has returned.
- Just make gdbserver is cleaned up early if it exists since it may
want to send some things to the connected gdb instance before
threads are exited.
FEXCore hasn't been returning anything other than EXIT_SHUTDOWN for a
long time, so this ended up just moving data around for no reason.
This isn't going to be used for further GdbServer work anyway, so just
completely remove it.
This is a Linux construct, move it to the frontend.
This is going to need some changes in the future since exit_group and
exit syscalls are supposed to behave differently than how FEX implements
it. For now just move it to the frontend.
This was brought up by #3831 but I finally got the courage to look at
the hard problem.
Although I'm only tackling half of the problem with this PR, which is
that FEXLoader needs to strip the rootfs path from the executed path if
it begins with the rootfs, plus some changes to the surrounding code.
The primary concern here is that when an application has been executed
under FEX, specifically through binfmt_misc, then FEX needs to prepend
the full rootfs path otherwise Linux can't find the program.
Additionally execveat with an FD will resolve a full path to the rootfs.
So past FEX's initial setup, we need to strip off the rootfs path to
provide an "absolute" path that is visible to the guest application
later. Which is kind of funny since we have a `RootFSRedirect` function
which did the exact opposite. This was due to legacy problems in the
original ELFLoader that couldn't handle symlinks correctly, which has
since been resolved, so that no longer needs to exist.
There was also some weirdness in `GetApplicationNames` where the passed
in argument list was modifying Args[0] and then saving the Program as
well. Which I just got rid of. Also stopped passing in the arguments by
value because....why did I write it like that?
In InterpreterHandler we now need to check if we can open the path
inside the rootfs or fallback without it. Plus I had to change the
shebang handling so it stopped prefixing the rootfs AGAIN. Took the time
to change the shebang handling there so it stops creating string copies
and instead just generates views.
Overall this fixes a fairly major flaw with how we were representing
`/proc/self` to the application, which was breaking wine since it would
prefix the rootfs multiple times, which was weird.
It doesn't address the remaining problem in #3831, which is that
applications can still see some of the leaky abstractions with symlinks
through the rootfs, but I want to get at least this step in.
The size of the input_event struct differs between 32 bits applications
and 64 bits applications. To deal with this, the kernel implements a
compat variant for the input syscalls, but it's only enabled for 32 bit
processes.
In libkrunfw we're introducing a prctl that enables a 64 bit process to
request the kernel to enable the compat variant for the input syscalls.
This commit makes use of that interface for enabling/disabling the
compat input variant as required.
The visible effect is that input devices such as gamepads work properly
on emulated 32 bit applications.

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.
From prep commit 511103ee5dcc9474b0b7468c05f61ce10fea4393.
Now that the frontend is setup, we can remove the temporary TLS
variables and use the ThreadObject directly.
Since the frontend has changed to informing the backend if AVX is
supported, there is no reason to feed that configuration back in to
SignalDelegator from the backend.
Instead inform the SignalDelegator directly in the frontend instead of
this now weird round-about path.
Seccomp is a relatively complex feature that was added to Linux back in
2005, and was further extended in 2013 to support BPF based protections.
Once seccomp is enabled, you can no longer disable seccomp but
additional protections can be placed on top of existing seccomp filters.
Additionally seccomp filters are inherited in child processes, which
ensures the process tree can't escape from the secure computing
environment through child processes.
The basis of this feature is a shim that lives between userspace and the
kernel at the syscall entrypoint.
In "strict" mode, seccomp only allows read, write, exit, exit_group, and {rt_,}sigreturn to function.
When in "filter" mode, a BPF filter is run on syscall entrypoint and
returns state about if the syscall should be allowed or not. Multiple
filters can be installed in this mode, all of which get executed. The
result that is the most restricted is the action that occurs at the end.
There are some significant limitations in filter mode that must be
adhered to which makes executing this code inside of kernel space a
non-issue and effectively limits how much cpu time is spent in the filters.
Although these filters are free to do basically anything with the
provided data, just can't do any loops.
FEX needs to implement seccomp because there are multiple applications
using the feature, the primary one being Chromium which some games embed
without disabling the sandbox. WINE also uses seccomp for capturing
games that do raw Windows system calls. Apparently Red Dead Redemption
is one of the games that requires this.
While FEX implements seccomp, it is not yet all encompassing, which is
one of the reasons why it isn't enabled by default and requires a config
option.
**seccomp_unotify is not implemented**
This is a relatively new feature for seccomp which lets the seccomp
filter signal an FD for multiple things. Luckily Chromium and WINE don't
use this. This will be tricky to implement under FEX since it
requires ioctl trapping and some other behaviour
**ptrace isn't supported**
One feature of seccomp is that it can raise ptrace events. Since FEX
doesn't support ptrace at all, this isn't handled. Again Chromium and
WINE don't use this.
**kill-thread not quite correct**
This isn't directly related to seccomp but more about how we do thread
shutdown in FEX. This will require some more changes around thread state
tracking before fully supporting this. Chromium and WINE don't use this.
kill-process also falls under this
Features that are supported:
- Strict mode and seccomp-bpf mode supported
- All BFP instructions that seccomp-bpf understands
- Inheriting seccomp through execve
- This means we serialize and deserialize the calling thread's
seccomp filters
- An execve that escapes FEX will also escape seccomp. Not much we
can do about it
- TSync - Allowing post-mortem seccomp insertion which allows threads to
synchronize seccomp filters after the fact
Features that are not supported:
- Different arch qualifiers depending on syscall entrypoint
- Just like our syscall handler, we are hardcoded to the arch that the
application starts with
- user_notif
- ptrace
- Runtime code cache invalidation when seccomp is installed
- Currently we must ensure all syscalls go through the frontend
syscall handler
- Runtime invalidation of code cache with inline syscalls will get
fixed in the future.
This currently isn't enabled by default because of the minor feature
problems that haven't been resolved. Currently the Linux Kernel's test
application works for the features that FEX supports, and WINE's usage
can be handled by FEX. Chromium's sandbox doesn't yet work with this PR,
but it only fails due to features unrelated to seccomp.
Having this open for merging now so we can work to resolve the remaining
issues without this bitrotting.
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.
The class constructor for ContextImpl::CPUID requires HostFeatures to be
available at construction time. Pass the host features struct directly
through during construction time instead, which cleans up the interface
slightly and fixes that issue.
This moves the CPU feature querying to the frontend. The primary purpose
here is for the wow64 frontend to not require linux-isms for querying
these features. This is required since non-Linux environments don't have
the "CPUID" feature for reading EL1 MSRs in EL0.
Wiring up the remaining wow64 registry querying is left for a future
exercise.
This also technically removes an xbyak requirement from FEXCore for when
building the x86 Test harness runner, but that doesn't really matter for
regular use cases.
Instead of passing the TID back to the exit handler, just pass the whole
thread object. This will allow some cleanups with the frontend thread
tracking soon
NFC
Removes a global initializer and atexit registration
Ownership of this data has always been the frontend and the config
system, we just used these static vectors as a side-channel.
We never use more than one logging method at a time so this was
overengineered for what it is doing.
Instead only allow one handler for messages and throw messages each
which just is a pointer.
Removes a global initializer and an atexit handler being installed
In preparation for seccomp execve inheritance where we need to extract
another FD from a different environment variable.
- Small function to extract the FD and also unset the environment
variable in the same place.
- Keeping the fetch and unset together instead of spreading to
another location in the source.
- Extract the FD upfront instead of passing the string_view around,
since we are unsetting the environment variable at the same place.
Future seccomp inheritance will get the FD just after the FEXFD
- `int FEXSeccompFD {GetFEXFDFromEnv("FEX_SECCOMPFD")};`
A bit of refactoring necessary before we can move the remaining Linux
specific code to the frontend.
Most of this taken from #3535 but attempting to be NFC as much as
possible.
From `man 2 open`:

I remember seeing some application last year where they closed a FEX
owned FD but now I don't remember what it was. This can really mess us
up so add some debug tracking so we can try and find it again.
Might be something specifically around flatpack, appimage, or chrome's
sandbox. I have some ideas about how to work around these problems if
they crop up but need to find the problem applications again.
FEXCore doesn't need track the TLS state of the SignalDelegator, this is
a frontend concept.
Removes the tracking from the backend and keeps it in the frontend.
Spurred on by #3421. To ensure that applications don't take advantage of
small address wrap around, allocate the second 4GB of virtual memory.
Some context. Linux always reserves the first 16KB of virtual address
space (unless you tinker with some settings which nobody should do).
Example of 32-bit code:
lea eax, [0xffff_0000]
mov ebx, [eax + 0x1_0000]
The address calculated by the mov will wrap around to 0x0 which will
result in SIGSEGV. If FEX messes up zero extensions then it would try to
access 0x1_0000_0000 instead.
This could result in a 32-bit application potentially accessing some FEX
memory instead of crashing.
Add this safety net which will still SIGSEGV and we will be able to see
the crash.
If the thread object is added to the tracking vector immediately then
there ends up being a race condition before the thread manages to fill
out the thread-specific data that only occurs at the start of the new
thread.
This manifests in a crash when a thread is allocating memory while
another thread is getting constructed. Easy fix is to defer the tracking
until the thread has setup its state.
We only used this so that our Xavier CI system which were running old
kernels could run unit tests. We have now removed the Xaviers from CI
and this is no longer necessary.
Stop pretending that we support kernels older than 5.0 and allowing this
fallback.
The 32-bit allocator is still used for the MAP_32BIT mmap flag, so the
load bearing code can't be fully removed. Just remove the config and the
frontend things using it.
Lots going on here.
This moves OS thread object lifetime management and internal thread
state lifetime management to the frontend. This causes a bunch of thread
handling to move from the FEXCore Context to the frontend.
Looking at `FEXCore/include/FEXCore/Core/Context.h` really shows how
much of the API has moved to the frontend that FEXCore no longer needs
to manage. Primarily this makes FEXCore itself no longer need to care
about most of the management of the emulation state.
A large amount of the behaviour moved wholesale from Core.cpp to
LinuxEmulation's ThreadManager.cpp. Which this manages the lifetimes of
both the OS threads and the FEXCore thread state objects.
One feature lost was the instruction capability, but this was already
buggy and is going to be rewritten/fixed when gdbserver work continues.
Now that all of this management is moved to the frontend, the gdbserver
can start improving since it can start managing all thread state
directly.
Similar to #3284 but works around some of the bugs that one introduced.
This is the minimal amount of changes to move the ownership from FEXCore
to the frontend. Since the frontends don't yet have a full thread state
tracking, there is an opaque pointer that needs to be managed.
In the followup commits this will be changed to have the syscall handler
to be the thread object manager.
