From 90320fd05991d7817cea85e1d45674b757abf03c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 50/61] x86/nospec: Fix evaluate_nospec() code generation under
Clang
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
It turns out that evaluate_nospec() code generation is not safe under Clang.
Given:
void eval_nospec_test(int x)
{
if ( evaluate_nospec(x) )
asm volatile ("nop #true" ::: "memory");
else
asm volatile ("nop #false" ::: "memory");
}
Clang emits:
<eval_nospec_test>:
0f ae e8 lfence
85 ff test %edi,%edi
74 02 je <eval_nospec_test+0x9>
90 nop
c3 ret
90 nop
c3 ret
which is not safe because the lfence has been hoisted above the conditional
jump. Clang concludes that both barrier_nospec_true()'s have identical side
effects and can safely be merged.
Clang can be persuaded that the side effects are different if there are
different comments in the asm blocks. This is fragile, but no more fragile
that other aspects of this construct.
Introduce barrier_nospec_false() with a separate internal comment to prevent
Clang merging it with barrier_nospec_true() despite the otherwise-identical
content. The generated code now becomes:
<eval_nospec_test>:
85 ff test %edi,%edi
74 05 je <eval_nospec_test+0x9>
0f ae e8 lfence
90 nop
c3 ret
0f ae e8 lfence
90 nop
c3 ret
which has the correct number of lfence's, and in the correct place.
