From 8ee57eba3cf3a3f24b668c577237ea1b5164a3da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Huang Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 16:13:49 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Add vDSO seqlock refresh and fast paths This extends the synthetic vDSO at AT_SYSINFO_EHDR with four new fast paths and rebuilds the anchor publication protocol so the anchor can be refreshed safely while concurrent guest readers are interpolating. New trampolines, each ending in its own SVC fallback so the dynamic linker sees a complete __kernel_* symbol: __kernel_clock_getres 76 B / 19 instructions. Returns {0, 1} inline for REALTIME, MONOTONIC, MONOTONIC_RAW, REALTIME_COARSE, MONOTONIC_COARSE, BOOTTIME. CPU and dynamic per-pid clockids SVC out. __kernel_gettimeofday 160 B / 40 instructions. Mirrors clock_gettime using the REALTIME anchor and divides by 1000 for tv_usec. tz, if non-NULL, gets one str xzr to clear the obsolete struct timezone. __kernel_getcpu 52 B / 13 instructions. Stores zero to both out-pointers (elfuse models one CPU / one node) and returns 0. __kernel_clock_gettime grows to 168 B / 42 instructions to hold the anchor-age cap and the seqlock recheck added to the existing CNTVCT trampoline. VDSO_NUM_SYMS goes from 4 to 5; dynstr_data widens to 119 bytes; all post-text section offsets shift but the page still ends inside the 4 KiB at 0x6A0. The vvar's first uint32 is now a Linux-style seqlock counter: 0 unseeded, no anchor data odd N >= 1 writer has reserved generation (N+1)/2 even N >= 2 stable generation N/2, anchor fields readable vdso_seed_anchor publishes through one CAS-then-release-store sequence that handles both initial seeding and refresh: load(seq, ACQUIRE), bail if odd CAS(seq, cur, cur+1, ACQUIRE, RELAXED), bail on contention thread_fence(RELEASE) // CAS odd-publish before field stores store(field_i, RELAXED) * 5 store(seq, cur+2, RELEASE) // publish next even The thread_fence(RELEASE) lowers to DMB ISH on AArch64 and closes the window where another CPU could observe the relaxed field stores before the odd-publish, since ARMv8 is not multi-copy atomic for unsynchronized stores to different locations. Without it a reader whose snapshot LDAR still saw the old even seq could read fields from the new generation and recheck the same old even seq, accepting torn data. Trampoline readers snapshot the seq with LDAR, fall back on 0 or odd, plain-load anchor fields, DMB ISHLD, LDAR the seq again, and SVC on mismatch. The DMB ISHLD is load-bearing: LDAR provides forward acquire only, so without it the recheck load can be observed before the plain field LDR/LDPs complete and the race goes undetected. The host helpers (vdso_anchor_age_exceeded, vdso_realtime_drift_exceeded) read through a new vvar_snapshot_anchor() that mirrors this protocol in C: relaxed atomic field loads with __atomic_thread_fence(__ATOMIC_ACQUIRE) before the recheck. Two staleness gates drive the refresh: - The trampolines LSR + CBNZ the CNTVCT delta against a 2**31-cycle cap (~89 s at 24 MHz). A stale anchor falls back to SVC so the host can publish a fresh one. - sys_clock_gettime and sys_gettimeofday sample both host clocks back-to-back on the vDSO SVC fallback and call vdso_seed_anchor whenever the anchor is unseeded, has aged out, or has drifted past VDSO_ANCHOR_MAX_DRIFT_NS (100 ms) relative to a fresh REALTIME. This catches macOS NTP wall-clock steps without a host timer thread. The drift detector short-circuits on age, guards anchor_sec + delta_sec with __builtin_add_overflow, and saturates the cross-second diff before the * 1e9 multiply so adversarial vvar values cannot trip signed overflow. The host gates the HVF reads (ELR_EL1, X9) on clockid 0 or 1 every time, not just before the anchor is published. The previous short-circuit on vdso_anchor_is_seeded left stale anchors stranded. sys_gettimeofday now writes 8 bytes of zero to tz_gva when non-null so SVC and fast-path callers see the same tz semantics; previously the SVC path ignored tz while the fast path zeroed it, so the first unseeded fallback with tz != NULL silently diverged. Measured under tests/bench-vdso.c at 200000 iterations, with the seqlock and DMB ISHLD overhead included: clock_gettime(MONOTONIC) : 4.3 ns/op (SVC: 1324 ns; 311x) clock_gettime(REALTIME) : 4.1 ns/op (SVC: 1315 ns; 321x) clock_getres(MONOTONIC) : 2.3 ns/op (SVC: 1349 ns; 591x) gettimeofday : 4.9 ns/op (SVC: 1331 ns; 271x) getcpu : 2.0 ns/op (SVC: 1519 ns; 755x) The ~1.5 ns increase on clock_gettime over the prior one-shot anchor (~2.5 ns baseline) is the cost of the seqlock recheck plus DMB ISHLD plus the age-cap LSR+CBNZ. clock_getres and getcpu have no anchor dependence so they stay at ~2 ns. --- src/core/vdso.c | 875 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- src/core/vdso.h | 42 ++- src/syscall/time.c | 153 +++++--- tests/bench-vdso.c | 285 +++++++++++++++ tests/test-vdso.c | 125 ++++++- 5 files changed, 1243 insertions(+), 237 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/bench-vdso.c diff --git a/src/core/vdso.c b/src/core/vdso.c index 6cf8f6f..e8f9e33 100644 --- a/src/core/vdso.c +++ b/src/core/vdso.c @@ -5,24 +5,30 @@ * SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0 * * Builds a minimal vDSO ELF image in guest memory exposing versioned - * __kernel_{rt_sigreturn,clock_getres,clock_gettime,gettimeofday}. - * __kernel_clock_gettime is a CNTVCT-based fast-path trampoline that serves - * CLOCK_MONOTONIC (clockid 1) and CLOCK_REALTIME (clockid 0) inline without - * trapping; rt_sigreturn / clock_getres / gettimeofday remain 12-byte SVC - * trampolines that fall back to the host syscall implementations. + * __kernel_{rt_sigreturn,clock_getres,clock_gettime,gettimeofday,getcpu}. + * clock_gettime and gettimeofday are CNTVCT-based fast-path trampolines that + * serve CLOCK_MONOTONIC (clockid 1) and CLOCK_REALTIME (clockid 0) inline + * without trapping; clock_getres serves the common nsec-resolution clockids + * inline; getcpu always returns cpu=0/node=0 (elfuse models one CPU); + * rt_sigreturn remains a 12-byte SVC trampoline. * * The fast path reads CNTVCT_EL0 at EL0 (enabled via CNTKCTL_EL1.EL0VCTEN in - * the bootstrap), looks up the host-published anchor in the vvar (initialized, + * the bootstrap), looks up the host-published anchor in the vvar (seq, * anchor_cntvct, anchor_mono_sec/nsec, anchor_real_sec/nsec), and interpolates * the requested clock from the CNTVCT delta.

PR #34 measured 1006 ns/op against an 18 ns/op OrbStack reference, a 56x gap the TODO Tier D P1 entry tracked as the highest-leverage single fix. This adds the note. To avoid moving VVAR (0x0B0), TEXT_OFF_SIGRET (0x0E0, exported in vdso.h for signal.c), or any trampoline / section offset, the program-header table relocates from 0x040 to 0x6B0 (after the section-header area). The reclaimed 0x040 window now holds the 32-byte NT_GNU_ABI_TAG: namesz : 4 ("GNU\0") descsz : 16 type : NT_GNU_ABI_TAG (1) name : "GNU\0" desc : { ELF_NOTE_OS_LINUX (0), 2, 6, 39 } The descriptor's minimum kernel ABI (2.6.39) matches the LINUX_2.6.39 symbol version already exposed through DT_VERDEF, so a glibc that honors the version also honors the note. PT_LOAD continues to cover the whole page so the relocated PHDR table and the note both stay mapped at runtime. Validation, dynamically-linked glibc 2.41 binary built from the cross-toolchain sysroot at /opt/toolchain/aarch64-linux-gnu (same toolchain PR #34 used for the baseline): libc clock_gettime : 6.97 ns/op (was 1006 ns/op pre-fix) direct vDSO call : 6.24 ns/op (dlsym function-pointer) raw SVC syscall : 2047.01 ns/op libc/vDSO ratio = 1.12x -- libc IS using the vDSO The 0.7 ns libc-vs-direct gap is glibc's dl_sysinfo_dso dispatch, not an SVC fallback. libc clock_gettime now beats the OrbStack reference (18 ns/op) by ~2.6x. gettimeofday and clock_getres land on the trampolines through the same probe path: libc gettimeofday : 7.5 ns/op (vDSO REALTIME anchor reuse) libc clock_getres : 4.9 ns/op (constant-resolution path) readelf parses the page cleanly: e_phnum=3, e_phoff=0x6B0, three PHDRs (PT_LOAD covering the whole page, PT_DYNAMIC at 0x420 size 0x90, PT_NOTE at 0x40 size 0x20), and `readelf -n` decodes the note as "GNU NT_GNU_ABI_TAG OS: Linux, ABI: 2.6.39". No region overlaps; total page usage 0x758 / 0x1000. Static vDSO bench unchanged at 6 ns/op for the time fast paths; the PHDR relocation only shifts where the dynamic linker looks for the table and does not touch any code the trampolines execute. test-signal explicit run passes, confirming the unchanged TEXT_OFF_SIGRET=0xE0 trampoline still drives the libc __restore_rt path. --- src/core/elf.h | 1 + src/core/vdso.c | 109 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- tests/test-vdso.c | 34 +++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 140 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/core/elf.h b/src/core/elf.h index 33f4813..956faa1 100644 --- a/src/core/elf.h +++ b/src/core/elf.h @@ -45,6 +45,7 @@ #define PT_LOAD 1 #define PT_DYNAMIC 2 #define PT_INTERP 3 +#define PT_NOTE 4 /* Program header flags */ #define PF_X 1 diff --git a/src/core/vdso.c b/src/core/vdso.c index e8f9e33..bc5fd7e 100644 --- a/src/core/vdso.c +++ b/src/core/vdso.c @@ -119,12 +119,38 @@ static uint8_t *vdso_host_page(guest_t *g) * [2] __kernel_clock_gettime * [3] __kernel_gettimeofday * [4] __kernel_getcpu + * + * Page layout (4 KiB): + * 0x000 EHDR + * 0x040 NT_GNU_ABI_TAG note (32 B) + * 0x0B0 vvar (seqlock counter, attention, anchor pairs) + * 0x0E0 rt_sigreturn trampoline + * 0x0EC clock_getres / clock_gettime / gettimeofday / getcpu trampolines + * ... dynstr / dynsym / hash / versym / verdef / dynamic / shdr + * 0x4B0 section header table (8 entries) + * 0x6B0 program header table (3 entries: PT_LOAD, PT_DYNAMIC, PT_NOTE) + * + * The PHDR table sits at the bottom of the structural area so that the + * 4-byte-aligned NT_GNU_ABI_TAG note can occupy the old PHDR window and + * glibc 2.41's dynamic-linker vDSO probe finds the expected note without + * any of the trampoline / section offsets shifting. */ -/* Offsets within the 4KiB page */ +/* Offsets within the 4KiB page. + * + * The PHDR table now sits past the SHDR area at 0x6B0 (the EHDR's e_phoff + * field follows it there).

A silent slip-back to the SVC fallback turned each into a ~1-2 us trap without anything in CI to notice. This adds an explicit guardrail. tests/bench-hot-guard.c resolves __kernel_clock_gettime via AT_SYSINFO_EHDR + PT_DYNAMIC + DT_HASH (SysV ELF hash walk) and measures three labels in fixed-width "%-20s %10.1f ns/op last=%ld" output: getpid (raw SVC), clock_gettime (vDSO trampoline), and read-urandom1 (raw 1-byte read of /dev/urandom). The same source builds two binaries via a compile-time switch: build/bench-hot-guard Static glibc. Built without the macro. clock_gettime invokes the trampoline directly through the resolved function pointer. Static glibc never initializes dl_sysinfo_dso, so its libc wrapper falls back to raw SVC for reasons unrelated to the vDSO; measuring the wrapper would fail the 50 ns ceiling for the wrong reason. Direct call isolates the trampoline. build/bench-hot-guard-glibc Dynamic glibc. Built with -DGUARD_USE_LIBC_CG=1. clock_gettime invokes glibc's clock_gettime() wrapper -- which on glibc 2.41 + a correctly-stamped vDSO (NT_GNU_ABI_TAG PT_NOTE, LINUX_2.6.39 versioning) routes through the trampoline. A regression in the note or versioning would push this measurement from ~7 ns to SVC range and trip the ceiling. Built only when the cross-toolchain sysroot at $(LINUX_TOOLCHAIN)/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/sysroot exists; run with elfuse --sysroot at that path.
