Subject[RFC PATCH v2 1/2] rseq: x86: implement abort-at-ip extension
Date
Allow rseq critical section abort handlers to optionally figure out at
which instruction pointer the rseq critical section was aborted.

This allows implementing rseq critical sections with loops containing
the commit instruction, for which having the commit as last instruction
of the sequence is not possible. This is useful to implement adaptative
mutexes aware of preemption in user-space. (see [1])

This also allows implementing rseq critical sections with multiple
commit steps, and use the abort-at-ip information to figure out what
needs to be undone in the abort handler.

Introduce the RSEQ_FLAG_QUERY_ABORT_AT_IP rseq system call flag. This
lets userspace query whether the kernel and architecture supports the
abort-at-ip rseq extension.

Only provide this information for rseq critical sections for which the
rseq_cs descriptor has the RSEQ_CS_FLAG_ABORT_AT_IP flag set. Abort
handlers for critical sections with this flag set need to readjust the
stack pointer. The abort-at-ip pointer is populated by the kernel on
the top of stack on abort. For x86-32, the abort handler of an
abort-at-ip critical section needs to add 4 bytes to the stack pointer.
For x86-64, the abort hanler needs to add 136 bytes to the stack
pointer: 8 bytes to skip the abort-at-ip value, and 128 bytes to skip
the x86-64 redzone for leaf functions.

Changes since v1:
- Use top of stack to place abort-at-ip value rather than ecx/rcx
register,
- Skip redzone on x86-64.
