When page-table entries are set, the compiler might optimize their
assignment by using multiple instructions to set the PTE. This might
turn into a security hazard if the user somehow manages to use the
interim PTE. L1TF does not make our lives easier, making even an interim
non-present PTE a security hazard.

Using WRITE_ONCE() to set PTEs and friends should prevent this potential
security hazard.

I skimmed the differences in the binary with and without this patch. The
differences are (obviously) greater when CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n as more
code optimizations are possible. For better and worse, the impact on the
binary with this patch is pretty small. Skimming the code did not cause
anything to jump out as a security hazard, but it seems that at least
move_soft_dirty_pte() caused set_pte_at() to use multiple writes.

When the kernel.print-fatal-signals sysctl has been enabled, a simple
userspace crash will cause the kernel to write a crash dump that contains,
among other things, the kernel gsbase into dmesg.

As suggested by Andy, limit output to pt_regs, FS_BASE and KERNEL_GS_BASE
in this case.

Loops per jiffy is calculated by multiplying tsc_khz with 1e3 and then
dividing it by HZ.

Both tsc_khz and the temporary variable holding the multiplication result
are of type unsigned long, so on 32bit the result is truncated to the lower
32bit.

Use u64 as type for the temporary variable and cast tsc_khz to it before
multiplying.

Fix kernel-doc warnings in arch/x86/include/asm/atomic.h that are caused by

When preparing an MCE record for logging, boot_cpu_data.microcode is used
to read out the microcode revision on the box.

However, on systems where late microcode update has happened, the microcode
revision output in a MCE log record is wrong because
boot_cpu_data.microcode is not updated when the microcode gets updated.

But, the microcode revision saved in boot_cpu_data's microcode member

The trick with flipping bit 63 to avoid loading the address of the 1:1
mapping of the poisoned page while the 1:1 map is updated used to work when
unmapping the page. But it falls down horribly when attempting to directly
set the page as uncacheable.

The problem is that when the cache mode is changed to uncachable, the pages
needs to be flushed from the cache first. But the decoy address is
non-canonical due to bit 63 flipped, and the CLFLUSH instruction throws a
#GP fault.

Add code to change_page_attr_set_clr() to fix the address before calling
flush.

When PTI is enabled on x86-32 the kernel uses the GDT mapped in the fixmap
for the simple reason that this address is also mapped for user-space.

The efi_call_phys_prolog()/efi_call_phys_epilog() wrappers change the GDT
to call EFI runtime services and switch back to the kernel GDT when they
return. But the switch-back uses the writable GDT, not the fixmap GDT.

When that happened and and the CPU returns to user-space it switches to the
user %cr3 and tries to restore user segment registers. This fails because
the writable GDT is not mapped in the user page-table, and without a GDT
the fault handlers also can't be launched. The result is a triple fault and
reboot of the machine.

Fix that by restoring the GDT back to the fixmap GDT which is also mapped
in the user page-table.

Reset the KASAN shadow state of the task stack before rewinding RSP.
Without this, a kernel oops will leave parts of the stack poisoned, and
code running under do_exit() can trip over such poisoned regions and cause
nonsensical false-positive KASAN reports about stack-out-of-bounds bugs.

This does not wipe the exception stacks; if an oops happens on an exception
stack, it might result in random KASAN false-positives from other tasks
afterwards. This is probably relatively uninteresting, since if the kernel
oopses on an exception stack, there are most likely bigger things to worry
about. It'd be more interesting if vmapped stacks and KASAN were
compatible, since then handle_stack_overflow() would oops from exception
stack context.

On Nehalem and newer core CPUs the CPU cache internally uses 44 bits
physical address space. The L1TF workaround is limited by this internal
cache address width, and needs to have one bit free there for the
mitigation to work.

Older client systems report only 36bit physical address space so the range
check decides that L1TF is not mitigated for a 36bit phys/32GB system with
some memory holes.

But since these actually have the larger internal cache width this warning
is bogus because it would only really be needed if the system had more than
43bits of memory.

Add a new internal x86_cache_bits field. Normally it is the same as the
physical bits field reported by CPUID, but for Nehalem and newerforce it to
be at least 44bits.

Change the L1TF memory size warning to use the new cache_bits field to
avoid bogus warnings and remove the bogus comment about memory size.

Pull libnvdimm memory-failure update from Dave Jiang:
 "As it stands, memory_failure() gets thoroughly confused by dev_pagemap
  backed mappings. The recovery code has specific enabling for several
  possible page states and needs new enabling to handle poison in dax
  mappings.

  In order to support reliable reverse mapping of user space addresses:

   1/ Add new locking in the memory_failure() rmap path to prevent races
      that would typically be handled by the page lock.

   2/ Since dev_pagemap pages are hidden from the page allocator and the
      "compound page" accounting machinery, add a mechanism to determine
      the size of the mapping that encompasses a given poisoned pfn.

   3/ Given pmem errors can be repaired, change the speculatively
      accessed poison protection, mce_unmap_kpfn(), to be reversible and
      otherwise allow ongoing access from the kernel.

  A side effect of this enabling is that MADV_HWPOISON becomes usable
  for dax mappings, however the primary motivation is to allow the
  system to survive userspace consumption of hardware-poison via dax.
  Specifically the current behavior is:

     mce: Uncorrected hardware memory error in user-access at af34214200
     {1}[Hardware Error]: It has been corrected by h/w and requires no further action
     mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
     {1}[Hardware Error]: event severity: corrected
     Memory failure: 0xaf34214: reserved kernel page still referenced by 1 users
     [..]
     Memory failure: 0xaf34214: recovery action for reserved kernel page: Failed
     mce: Memory error not recovered
     <reboot>

  ...and with these changes:

     Injecting memory failure for pfn 0x20cb00 at process virtual address 0x7f763dd00000
     Memory failure: 0x20cb00: Killing dax-pmd:5421 due to hardware memory corruption
     Memory failure: 0x20cb00: recovery action for dax page: Recovered

  Given all the cross dependencies I propose taking this through
  nvdimm.git with acks from Naoya, x86/core, x86/RAS, and of course dax
  folks"

This is not normally noticeable, but repeated forks are unnecessarily
expensive because they repeatedly dirty the parent page tables during
the page table copy operation.

It's trivial to just avoid write protecting the page table entry if it
was already not writable.

This patch was inspired by

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200447

which points to an ancient "waste time re-doing fork" issue in the
presence of lots of signals.

That bug was fixed by Eric Biederman's signal handling series
culminating in commit c3ad2c3b ("signal: Don't restart fork when
signals come in"), but the unnecessary work for repeated forks is still
work just fixing, particularly since the fix is trivial.

At the point where r is being checked for different values, r is always
going to be equal to 2 as the previous if statements jump to end or end1
if r is not 2.  Hence the assignment to err can be simplified to just
err an assignment without any checks on the value or r.

Thanks for your work in this area. I still remember the first linux
storage summit we did in Vancouver 2001, Tejun was invited to talk about
his libata error handling work. Before that, it was basically a crap
shoot if we recovered properly or not... A lot of water has flown under
the bridge since then!
