Subject: [PATCH v1 25/27] x86/pie: Add option to build the kernel as PIE
Add the CONFIG_X86_PIE option which builds the kernel as a Position
Independent Executable (PIE). The kernel is currently build with the
mcmodel=kernel option which forces it to stay on the top 2G of the
virtual address space. With PIE, the kernel will be able to move below
the current limit.
The --emit-relocs linker option was kept instead of using -pie to limit
the impact on mapped sections. Any incompatible relocation will be
catch by the arch/x86/tools/relocs binary at compile time.
If segment based stack cookies are enabled, try to use the compiler
option to select the segment register. If not available, automatically
enabled global stack cookie in auto mode. Otherwise, recommend
compiler update or global stack cookie option.
Performance/Size impact:
Size of vmlinux (Default configuration):
File size:
- PIE disabled: +0.000031%
- PIE enabled: -3.210% (less relocations)
.text section:
- PIE disabled: +0.000644%
- PIE enabled: +0.837%
Size of vmlinux (Ubuntu configuration):
File size:
- PIE disabled: -0.201%
- PIE enabled: -0.082%
.text section:
- PIE disabled: same
- PIE enabled: +1.319%
Size of vmlinux (Default configuration + ORC):
File size:
- PIE enabled: -3.167%
.text section:
- PIE enabled: +0.814%
Size of vmlinux (Ubuntu configuration + ORC):
File size:
- PIE enabled: -3.167%
.text section:
- PIE enabled: +1.26%
The size increase is mainly due to not having access to the 32-bit signed
relocation that can be used with mcmodel=kernel. A small part is due to reduced
optimization for PIE code. This bug [1] was opened with gcc to provide a better
code generation for kernel PIE.
Hackbench (50% and 1600% on thread/process for pipe/sockets):
- PIE disabled: no significant change (avg +0.1% on latest test).
- PIE enabled: between -0.50% to +0.86% in average (default and Ubuntu config).
slab_test (average of 10 runs):
- PIE disabled: no significant change (-2% on latest run, likely noise).
- PIE enabled: between -1% and +0.8% on latest runs.
Kernbench (average of 10 Half and Optimal runs):
Elapsed Time:
- PIE disabled: no significant change (avg -0.239%)
- PIE enabled: average +0.07%
System Time:
- PIE disabled: no significant change (avg -0.277%)
- PIE enabled: average +0.7%
