Spectre v1 isn't only about array bounds checks. It can affect any conditional checks. The kernel entry code interrupt, exception, and NMI handlers all have conditional swapgs checks. Those may be problematic in the context of Spectre v1, as kernel code can speculatively run with a user GS. For example: if (coming from user space) swapgs mov %gs:<percpu_offset>, %reg mov (%reg), %reg1 When coming from user space, the CPU can speculatively skip the swapgs, and then do a speculative percpu load using the user GS value. So the user can speculatively force a read of any kernel value. If a gadget exists which uses the percpu value as an address in another load/store, then the contents of the kernel value may become visible via an L1 side channel attack. A similar attack exists when coming from kernel space. The CPU can speculatively do the swapgs, causing the user GS to get used for the rest of the speculative window. The mitigation is similar to a traditional Spectre v1 mitigation, except: a) index masking isn't possible; because the index (percpu offset) isn't user-controlled; and b) an lfence is needed in both the "from user" swapgs path and the "from kernel" non-swapgs path (because of the two attacks described above). The user entry swapgs paths already have SWITCH_TO_KERNEL_CR3, which has a CR3 write when PTI is enabled. Since CR3 writes are serializing, the lfences can be skipped in those cases. On the other hand, the kernel entry swapgs paths don't depend on PTI. To avoid unnecessary lfences for the user entry case, create two separate features for alternative patching: X86_FEATURE_FENCE_SWAPGS_USER X86_FEATURE_FENCE_SWAPGS_KERNEL Use these features in entry code to patch in lfences where needed. The features aren't enabled yet, so there's no functional change.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle are: - rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are rather impressive: "On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255 After the patchset, they became: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 30,057/31,359/32,741 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098" There's a lot of changes to the locking implementation that makes it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair locking. Another microbenchmark shows how across the spectrum the improvements are: "With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 2-socket Skylake system with equal numbers of readers and writers (mixed) before and after this patchset were: # of Threads Before Patch After Patch ------------ ------------ ----------- 2 2,618 4,193 4 1,202 3,726 8 802 3,622 16 729 3,359 32 319 2,826 64 102 2,744" The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline going forward. - jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup as well. - atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last ~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture - which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures. Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64 implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area. - A large set of small improvements to lockdep by Yuyang Du: type cleanups, output cleanups, function return type and othr cleanups all around the place. - A set of percpu ops cleanups and fixes by Peter Zijlstra. - Misc other changes - please see the Git log for more details" * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (82 commits) locking/lockdep: increase size of counters for lockdep statistics locking/atomics: Use sed(1) instead of non-standard head(1) option locking/lockdep: Move mark_lock() inside CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS && CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING x86/jump_label: Make tp_vec_nr static x86/percpu: Optimize raw_cpu_xchg() x86/percpu, sched/fair: Avoid local_clock() x86/percpu, x86/irq: Relax {set,get}_irq_regs() x86/percpu: Relax smp_processor_id() x86/percpu: Differentiate this_cpu_{}() and __this_cpu_{}() locking/rwsem: Guard against making count negative locking/rwsem: Adaptive disabling of reader optimistic spinning locking/rwsem: Enable time-based spinning on reader-owned rwsem locking/rwsem: Make rwsem->owner an atomic_long_t locking/rwsem: Enable readers spinning on writer locking/rwsem: Clarify usage of owner's nonspinaable bit locking/rwsem: Wake up almost all readers in wait queue locking/rwsem: More optimal RT task handling of null owner locking/rwsem: Always release wait_lock before waking up tasks locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation locking/rwsem: Make rwsem_spin_on_owner() return owner state ...

Pull x96 apic updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Updates for the x86 APIC interrupt handling and APIC timer: - Fix a long standing issue with spurious interrupts which was caused by the big vector management rework a few years ago. Robert Hodaszi provided finally enough debug data and an excellent initial failure analysis which allowed to understand the underlying issues. This contains a change to the core interrupt management code which is required to handle this correctly for the APIC/IO_APIC. The core changes are NOOPs for most architectures except ARM64. ARM64 is not impacted by the change as confirmed by Marc Zyngier. - Newer systems allow to disable the PIT clock for power saving causing panic in the timer interrupt delivery check of the IO/APIC when the HPET timer is not enabled either. While the clock could be turned on this would cause an endless whack a mole game to chase the proper register in each affected chipset. These systems provide the relevant frequencies for TSC, CPU and the local APIC timer via CPUID and/or MSRs, which allows to avoid the PIT/HPET based calibration. As the calibration code is the only usage of the legacy timers on modern systems and is skipped anyway when the frequencies are known already, there is no point in setting up the PIT and actually checking for the interrupt delivery via IO/APIC. To achieve this on a wide variety of platforms, the CPUID/MSR based frequency readout has been made more robust, which also allowed to remove quite some workarounds which turned out to be not longer required.

Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik: - Improve stop_machine wait logic: replace cpu_relax_yield call in generic stop_machine function with a weak stop_machine_yield function. This is overridden on s390, which yields the current cpu to the neighbouring cpu after a couple of retries, instead of blindly giving up the cpu to the hipervisor. This significantly improves stop_machine performance on s390 in overcommitted scenarios. This includes common code changes which have been Acked by Peter Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner. - Improve jump label transformation speed: transform jump labels without using stop_machine. - Refactoring of the vfio-ccw cp handling, simplifying the code and avoiding unneeded allocating/copying. - Various vfio-ccw fixes (ccw translation, state machine). - Add support for vfio-ap queue interrupt control in the guest. This includes s390 kvm changes which have been Acked by Christian Borntraeger. - Add protected virtualization support for virtio-ccw. - Enforce both CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, which allows to remove some code which most likely isn't working at all, besides that s390 didn't even compile for !CONFIG_SMP. - Support for special flagged EP11 CPRBs for zcrypt. - Handle PCI devices with no support for new MIO instructions. - Avoid KASAN false positives in reworked stack unwinder. - Couple of fixes for the QDIO layer. - Convert s390 specific documentation to ReST format. - Let s390 crypto modules return -ENODEV instead of -EOPNOTSUPP if hardware is missing. This way our modules behave like most other modules and which is also what systemd's systemd-modules-load.service expects. - Replace defconfig with performance_defconfig, so there is one config file less to maintain. - Remove the SCLP call home device driver, which was never useful. - Cleanups all over the place. * tag 's390-5.3-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (83 commits) docs: s390: s390dbf: typos and formatting, update crash command docs: s390: unify and update s390dbf kdocs at debug.c docs: s390: restore important non-kdoc parts of s390dbf.rst vfio-ccw: Fix the conversion of Format-0 CCWs to Format-1 s390/pci: correctly handle MIO opt-out s390/pci: deal with devices that have no support for MIO instructions s390: ap: kvm: Enable PQAP/AQIC facility for the guest s390: ap: implement PAPQ AQIC interception in kernel vfio: ap: register IOMMU VFIO notifier s390: ap: kvm: add PQAP interception for AQIC s390/unwind: cleanup unused READ_ONCE_TASK_STACK s390/kasan: avoid false positives during stack unwind s390/qdio: don't touch the dsci in tiqdio_add_input_queues() s390/qdio: (re-)initialize tiqdio list entries s390/dasd: Fix a precision vs width bug in dasd_feature_list() s390/cio: introduce driver_override on the css bus vfio-ccw: make convert_ccw0_to_ccw1 static vfio-ccw: Remove copy_ccw_from_iova() vfio-ccw: Factor out the ccw0-to-ccw1 transition vfio-ccw: Copy CCW data outside length calculation ...

The command line option `no387' is designed to disable the FPU entirely. This only 'works' with CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION enabled. But on 64bit this cannot work because user space expects SSE to work which required basic FPU support. MATH_EMULATION does not help because SSE is not emulated. The command line option `nofxsr' should also be limited to 32bit because FXSR is part of the required flags on 64bit so turning it off is not possible. Clearing X86_FEATURE_FPU without emulation enabled will not work anyway and hang in fpu__init_system_early_generic() before the console is enabled. Setting additioal dependencies, ensures that the CPU still boots on a modern CPU. Otherwise, dropping FPU will leave FXSR enabled causing the kernel to crash early in fpu__init_system_mxcsr(). With XSAVE support it will crash in fpu__init_cpu_xstate(). The problem is that xsetbv() with XMM set and SSE cleared is not allowed. That means XSAVE has to be disabled. The XSAVE support is disabled in fpu__init_system_xstate_size_legacy() but it is too late. It can be removed, it has been added in commit 1f999ab5 ("x86, xsave: Disable xsave in i387 emulation mode") to use `no387' on a CPU with XSAVE support. All this happens before console output. After hat, the next possible crash is in RAID6 detect code because MMX remained enabled. With a 3DNOW enabled config it will explode in memcpy() for instance due to kernel_fpu_begin() but this is unconditionally enabled. This is enough to boot a Debian Wheezy on a 32bit qemu "host" CPU which supports everything up to XSAVES, AVX2 without 3DNOW. Later, Debian increased the minimum requirements to i686 which means it does not boot userland atleast due to CMOV. After masking the additional features it still keeps SSE4A and 3DNOW* enabled (if present on the host) but those are unused in the kernel. Restrict `no387' and `nofxsr' otions to 32bit only. Add dependencies for FPU, FXSR to additionaly mask CMOV, MMX, XSAVE if FXSR or FPU is cleared.

The flag hints the user that the pinned timers will always be run on a static CPU (because that should be what "pinned" means...) but that's not the truth, at least with the current implementation. For example, currently if a pinned timer is set up but later mod_timer() upon the pinned timer is invoked, mod_timer() will still try to queue the timer on the current processor and migrate the timer if necessary. Document it a bit with the definition of TIMER_PINNED so that all future users will use it correctly.

When the blk-mq debugfs file creation logic was "cleaned up" it was cleaned up too much, causing the queue file to not be created in the correct location. Turns out the check for the directory being present is needed as if that has not happened yet, the files should not be created, and the function will be called later on in the initialization code so that the files can be created in the correct location.
