      x86/retpoline: Remove compile time warning · 198660b7
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      commit b8b9ce4b upstream.
      
      Remove the compile time warning when CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y and the compiler
      does not have retpoline support. Linus rationale for this is:
      
        It's wrong because it will just make people turn off RETPOLINE, and the
        asm updates - and return stack clearing - that are independent of the
        compiler are likely the most important parts because they are likely the
        ones easiest to target.
      
        And it's annoying because most people won't be able to do anything about
        it. The number of people building their own compiler? Very small. So if
        their distro hasn't got a compiler yet (and pretty much nobody does), the
        warning is just annoying crap.
      
        It is already properly reported as part of the sysfs interface. The
        compile-time warning only encourages bad things.

      x86,perf: Disable intel_bts when PTI · 6d8b7d39
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      commit 99a9dc98 upstream.
      
      The intel_bts driver does not use the 'normal' BTS buffer which is exposed
      through the cpu_entry_area but instead uses the memory allocated for the
      perf AUX buffer.
      
      This obviously comes apart when using PTI because then the kernel mapping;
      which includes that AUX buffer memory; disappears. Fixing this requires to
      expose a mapping which is visible in all context and that's not trivial.
      
      As a quick fix disable this driver when PTI is enabled to prevent
      malfunction.

      security/Kconfig: Correct the Documentation reference for PTI · c3e7fc96
      W. Trevor King authored
      commit a237f762 upstream.
      
      When the config option for PTI was added a reference to documentation was
      added as well. But the documentation did not exist at that point. The final
      documentation has a different file name.
      
      Fix it up to point to the proper file.

      x86/pti: Fix !PCID and sanitize defines · 026b3f23
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      commit f10ee3dc upstream.
      
      The switch to the user space page tables in the low level ASM code sets
      unconditionally bit 12 and bit 11 of CR3. Bit 12 is switching the base
      address of the page directory to the user part, bit 11 is switching the
      PCID to the PCID associated with the user page tables.
      
      This fails on a machine which lacks PCID support because bit 11 is set in
      CR3. Bit 11 is reserved when PCID is inactive.
      
      While the Intel SDM claims that the reserved bits are ignored when PCID is
      disabled, the AMD APM states that they should be cleared.
      
      This went unnoticed as the AMD APM was not checked when the code was
      developed and reviewed and test systems with Intel CPUs never failed to
      boot. The report is against a Centos 6 host where the guest fails to boot,
      so it's not yet clear whether this is a virt issue or can happen on real
      hardware too, but thats irrelevant as the AMD APM clearly ask for clearing
      the reserved bits.
      
      Make sure that on non PCID machines bit 11 is not set by the page table
      switching code.
      
      Andy suggested to rename the related bits and masks so they are clearly
      describing what they should be used for, which is done as well for clarity.
      
      That split could have been done with alternatives but the macro hell is
      horrible and ugly. This can be done on top if someone cares to remove the
      extra orq. For now it's a straight forward fix.
