...nd you my wonderful test case : loading a 3500x2500 pixmap in firefox with 64mb vram. After talking a bit more with curro, I started to write a patch. I don't know how bad and wrong it is, there are still so many things I don't understand. It seems it works somehow, meaning OUT_RELOC -> emit_reloc will fail before FIRE_RING -> pushbuf_flush. But enomem failures during pushbuf_flush still happen. And worse, what happens after an OUT_RELOC failure is awful : 1) on nv25, the system freezes for 5 seconds, and after the lower part (a rectangle) of the picture seems to have a wrong offset or so...

>>That boot_params.hdr.code32_start field is probably either invalid (bad reloc or something else causing the bootloader to >>calculate the wrong address) or valid but the thing it thinks it is pointing to wasn't loaded (missing PT_LOAD etc.). >boot_params.hdr.code32_start field is valid :) It is 0x100000, like expected > >Then I suspect that that segment isn't being

Changes: - patch v2: - Adapt patch to work post KPTI and compiler changes - Redo all performance testing with latest configs and compilers - Simplify mov macro on PIE (MOVABS now) - Reduce GOT footprint - patch v1: - Simplify ftrace implementation. - Use gcc mstack-protector-guard-reg=%gs with PIE when possible. - rfc v3: - Use --emit-relocs instead of -pie to reduce

These patches make the changes necessary to build the kernel as Position Independent Executable (PIE) on x86_64. A PIE kernel can be relocated below the top 2G of the virtual address space. It allows to optionally extend the KASLR randomization range from 1G to 3G. Thanks a lot to Ard Biesheuvel & Kees Cook on their feedback on compiler changes, PIE support and KASLR in general. Thanks to

Changes: - patch v3: - Update on message to describe longer term PIE goal. - Minor change on ftrace if condition. - Changed code using xchgq. - patch v2: - Adapt patch to work post KPTI and compiler changes - Redo all performance testing with latest configs and compilers - Simplify mov macro on PIE (MOVABS now) - Reduce GOT footprint - patch v1: - Simplify ftrace

Changes: - patch v1: - Simplify ftrace implementation. - Use gcc mstack-protector-guard-reg=%gs with PIE when possible. - rfc v3: - Use --emit-relocs instead of -pie to reduce dynamic relocation space on mapped memory. It also simplifies the relocation process. - Move the start the module section next to the kernel. Remove the need for -mcmodel=large on modules. Extends

The current code for primitive splitting and emission on pre-nv50 is severely broken. In particular: 1. Quads and lines are totally broken because "&= 3" should be "&= ~3" and similar for lines 2. Triangle fans and polygons are broken because the first vertex must be repeated for each split chunk 3. Line loops are broken because the must be converted to a line strip,
