      KVM: VMX: disable PEBS before a guest entry · 7099e2e1
      Radim Krčmář authored
      Linux guests on Haswell (and also SandyBridge and Broadwell, at least)
      would crash if you decided to run a host command that uses PEBS, like
        perf record -e 'cpu/mem-stores/pp' -a
      
      This happens because KVM is using VMX MSR switching to disable PEBS, but
      SDM [2015-12] 18.4.4.4 Re-configuring PEBS Facilities explains why it
      isn't safe:
        When software needs to reconfigure PEBS facilities, it should allow a
        quiescent period between stopping the prior event counting and setting
        up a new PEBS event. The quiescent period is to allow any latent
        residual PEBS records to complete its capture at their previously
        specified buffer address (provided by IA32_DS_AREA).
      
      There might not be a quiescent period after the MSR switch, so a CPU
      ends up using host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA to access an area in guest's
      memory.  (Or MSR switching is just buggy on some models.)
      
      The guest can learn something about the host this way:
      If the guest doesn't map address pointed by MSR_IA32_DS_AREA, it results
      in #PF where we leak host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA through CR2.
      
      After that, a malicious guest can map and configure memory where
      MSR_IA32_DS_AREA is pointing and can therefore get an output from
      host's tracing.
      
      This is not a critical leak as the host must initiate with PEBS tracing
      and I have not been able to get a record from more than one instruction
      before vmentry in vmx_vcpu_run() (that place has most registers already
      overwritten with guest's).
      
      We could disable PEBS just few instructions before vmentry, but
      disabling it earlier shouldn't affect host tracing too much.
      We also don't need to switch MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE on VMENTRY, but that
      optimization isn't worth its code, IMO.
      
      (If you are implementing PEBS for guests, be sure to handle the case
       where both host and guest enable PEBS, because this patch doesn't.)
      
      Fixes: 26a4f3c0 ("perf/x86: disable PEBS on a guest entry.")

      was plain wrong. I did not realize the we are
      allowed to loop here.
      In fact we have to loop and must not return to userspace
      before all SIGSEGVs have been delivered.
      Other archs do this directly in their entry code, UML
      does it here.

       "One straggling fix for NVDIMM support.
      
        The KVM/QEMU enabling for NVDIMMs has recently reached the point where
        it is able to accept some ACPI _DSM requests from a guest VM.  However
        they immediately found that the 4.5-rc kernel is unusable because the
        kernel's 'nfit' driver fails to load upon seeing a valid "not
        supported" response from the virtual BIOS for an address range scrub
        command.
      
        It is not mandatory that a platform implement address range scrubbing,
        so this fix from Vishal properly treats the 'not supported' response
        as 'skip scrubbing and continue loading the driver'"

      Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
       "A feature was added in 4.3 that allowed users to filter trace points
        on a tasks "comm" field.  But this prevented filtering on a comm field
        that is within a trace event (like sched_migrate_task).
      
        When trying to filter on when a program migrated, this change
        prevented the filtering of the sched_migrate_task.
      
        To fix this, the event fields are examined first, and then the extra
        fields like "comm" and "cpu" are examined.  Also, instead of testing
        to assign the comm filter function based on the field's name, the
        generic comm field is given a new filter type (FILTER_COMM).  When
        this field is used to filter the type is checked.  The same is done
        for the cpu filter field.
      
        Two new special filter types are added: "COMM" and "CPU".  This allows
        users to still filter the tasks comm for events that have "comm" as
        one of their fields, in cases that users would like to filter
        sched_migrate_task on the comm of the task that called the event, and
        not the comm of the task that is being migrated"

      nfit: Continue init even if ARS commands are unimplemented · 6e2452df
      Vishal Verma authored
      If firmware doesn't implement any of the ARS commands, take that to
      mean that ARS is unsupported, and continue to initialize regions without
      bad block lists. We cannot make the assumption that ARS commands will be
      unconditionally supported on all NVDIMMs.
