Subject: [PATCH] x86/msr-index: make SPEC_CTRL_IBRS assembler-portable
Date: Thu,  3 Nov 2022 14:07:48 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221103210748.1343090-1-ndesaulniers@google.com> (raw)

GNU binutils' assembler (GAS) didn't support L suffixes on immediates
until binutils 2.28 release. Building arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S with GAS
v2.27 will produce the following assembler errors:

  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S: Assembler messages:
  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:308: Error: found 'L', expected: ')'
  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:308: Error: found 'L', expected: ')'
  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:308: Error: junk `L<<(0)))' after expression
  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:596: Error: found 'L', expected: ')'
  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:596: Error: found 'L', expected: ')'
  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:596: Error: junk `L<<(0)))' after expression

These come from the use of the preprocessor defined SPEC_CTRL_IBRS in
the IBRS_ENTER and IBRS_EXIT assembler macros. SPEC_CTRL_IBRS was using
the BIT macros from include/linux/bits.h which are only portable between
C and assembler for assemblers such as GAS v2.28 (or newer) or clang
because they use the L suffixes for immediate operands, which older GAS
releases cannot parse. The kernel still supports GAS v2.23 and newer
(and older for branches of stable). Let's expand the value of
SPEC_CTRL_IBRS in place so that assemblers don't have issues parsing the
value.

Some other ideas considered:
* Use U64_C from include/asm-generic/int-ll64.h rather than BIT for the
  value of SPEC_CTRL_IBRS.
  * Do so for the entirety of arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h or just
    SPEC_CTRL_IBRS? include/asm-generic/int-ll64.h doesn't define a UL
    suffix; add one?
* Make include/linux/bits.h assembler-portable (for older assemblers)
  via the use of include/asm-generic/int-ll64.h.
