Make the doublefault exception handler unconditional on 32-bit. Yes, it is important to be able to catch #DF exceptions instead of silent reboots. Yes, the code size increase is worth every byte. And one less CONFIG symbol is just the cherry on top. No functional changes.

For the 32-bit syscall interface, 64-bit arguments (loff_t) are passed via a pair of 32-bit registers. These register pairs end up in consecutive stack slots, which matches the C ABI for 64-bit arguments. But when accessing the registers directly from pt_regs, the wrapper needs to manually reassemble the 64-bit value. These wrappers already exist for 32-bit compat, so make them available to 32-bit native in preparation for enabling pt_regs-based syscalls.

Every time a new architecture defines the IMA architecture specific functions - arch_ima_get_secureboot() and arch_ima_get_policy(), the IMA include file needs to be updated. To avoid this "noise", this patch defines a new IMA Kconfig IMA_SECURE_AND_OR_TRUSTED_BOOT option, allowing the different architectures to select it.

On x86 kernels configured with CONFIG_PROC_KCORE=y and CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=n, the vmcoreinfo note in /proc/kcore is incomplete. Specifically, it is missing arch-specific information like the KASLR offset and whether 5-level page tables are enabled. This breaks applications like drgn [1] and crash [2], which need this information for live debugging via /proc/kcore. This happens because: 1. CONFIG_PROC_KCORE selects CONFIG_CRASH_CORE. 2. kernel/crash_core.c (compiled if CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y) calls arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() to get the arch-specific parts of vmcoreinfo. If it is not defined, then it uses a no-op fallback. 3. x86 defines arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() in arch/x86/kernel/machine_kexec_*.c, which is only compiled if CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y. Therefore, an x86 kernel with CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y and CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=n uses the no-op fallback and gets incomplete vmcoreinfo data. This isn't relevant to kdump, which requires CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. It only affects applications which read vmcoreinfo at runtime, like the ones mentioned above. Fix it by moving arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() into two new arch/x86/kernel/crash_core_*.c files, which are gated behind CONFIG_CRASH_CORE. 1: https://github.com/osandov/drgn/blob/73dd7def1217e24cc83d8ca95c995decbd9ba24c/libdrgn/program.c#L385 2: https://github.com/crash-utility/crash/commit/60a42d709280cdf38ab06327a5b4fa9d9208ef86Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: "H.

Currently, the Kbuild core manipulates header search paths in a crazy way [1]. To fix this mess, I want all Makefiles to add explicit $(srctree)/ to the search paths in the srctree. Some Makefiles are already written in that way, but not all. The goal of this work is to make the notation consistent, and finally get rid of the gross hacks. Having whitespaces after -I does not matter since commit 48f6e3cf ("kbuild: do not drop -I without parameter").

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label". The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined like this: #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL) # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL #endif We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO. Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will match to the real kernel capability.

native_save_fl() is marked static inline, but by using it as a function pointer in arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c, it MUST be outlined. paravirt's use of native_save_fl() also requires that no GPRs other than %rax are clobbered. Compilers have different heuristics which they use to emit stack guard code, the emittance of which can break paravirt's callee saved assumption by clobbering %rcx. Marking a function definition extern inline means that if this version cannot be inlined, then the out-of-line version will be preferred. By having the out-of-line version be implemented in assembly, it cannot be instrumented with a stack protector, which might violate custom calling conventions that code like paravirt rely on. The semantics of extern inline has changed since gnu89. This means that folks using GCC versions >= 5.1 may see symbol redefinition errors at link time for subdirs that override KBUILD_CFLAGS (making the C standard used implicit) regardless of this patch. This has been cleaned up earlier in the patch set, but is left as a note in the commit message for future travelers.

Jailhouse does not use ACPI, but it does support MMCONFIG. Make sure the latter can be built without having to enable ACPI as well.

Steven Rostedt discovered that the ftrace stack tracer is broken when it's used with the ORC unwinder. The problem is that objtool is instructed by the Makefile to ignore the ftrace_64.S code, so it doesn't generate any ORC data for it. Fix it by making the asm code objtool-friendly: - Objtool doesn't like the fact that save_mcount_regs pushes RBP at the beginning, but it's never restored (directly, at least). So just skip the original RBP push, which is only needed for frame pointers anyway. - Annotate some functions as normal callable functions with ENTRY/ENDPROC. - Add an empty unwind hint to return_to_handler(). The return address isn't on the stack, so there's nothing ORC can do there. It will just punt in the unlikely case it tries to unwind from that code. With all that fixed, remove the OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD Makefile annotation so objtool can read the file.

The Jailhouse hypervisor is able to statically partition a multicore system into multiple so-called cells. Linux is used as boot loader and continues to run in the root cell after Jailhouse is enabled. Linux can also run in non-root cells. Jailhouse does not emulate usual x86 devices. It also provides no complex ACPI but basic platform information that the boot loader forwards via setup data. This adds the infrastructure to detect when running in a non-root cell so that the platform can be configured as required in succeeding steps. Support is limited to x86-64 so far, primarily because no boot loader stub exists for i386 and, thus, we wouldn't be able to test the 32-bit path.

The feature User-Mode Instruction Prevention present in recent Intel processor prevents a group of instructions (sgdt, sidt, sldt, smsw, and str) from being executed with CPL > 0. Otherwise, a general protection fault is issued. Rather than relaying to the user space the general protection fault caused by the UMIP-protected instructions (in the form of a SIGSEGV signal), it can be trapped and the instruction emulated to provide a dummy result. This allows to both conserve the current kernel behavior and not reveal the system resources that UMIP intends to protect (i.e., the locations of the global descriptor and interrupt descriptor tables, the segment selectors of the local descriptor table, the value of the task state register and the contents of the CR0 register). This emulation is needed because certain applications (e.g., WineHQ and DOSEMU2) rely on this subset of instructions to function. Given that sldt and str are not commonly used in programs that run on WineHQ or DOSEMU2, they are not emulated. Also, emulation is provided only for 32-bit processes; 64-bit processes that attempt to use the instructions that UMIP protects will receive the SIGSEGV signal issued as a consequence of the general protection fault. The instructions protected by UMIP can be split in two groups. Those which return a kernel memory address (sgdt and sidt) and those which return a value (smsw, sldt and str; the last two not emulated). For the instructions that return a kernel memory address, applications such as WineHQ rely on the result being located in the kernel memory space, not the actual location of the table. The result is emulated as a hard-coded value that lies close to the top of the kernel memory. The limit for the GDT and the IDT are set to zero. The instruction smsw is emulated to return the value that the register CR0 has at boot time as set in the head_32. Care is taken to appropriately emulate the results when segmentation is used. That is, rather than relying on USER_DS and USER_CS, the function insn_get_addr_ref() inspects the segment descriptor pointed by the registers in pt_regs. This ensures that we correctly obtain the segment base address and the address and operand sizes even if the user space application uses a local descriptor table.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

We are going to support boot-time switching between 4- and 5-level paging. For KASAN it means we cannot have different KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET for different paging modes: the constant is passed to gcc to generate code and cannot be changed at runtime. This patch changes KASAN code to use 0xdffffc0000000000 as shadow offset for both 4- and 5-level paging. For 5-level paging it means that shadow memory region is not aligned to PGD boundary anymore and we have to handle unaligned parts of the region properly. In addition, we have to exclude paravirt code from KASAN instrumentation as we now use set_pgd() before KASAN is fully ready.

EISA has absolutely nothing to do with traps, so move it out of traps.c into its own eisa.c file. Furthermore, the EISA bus detection does not need to run during very early boot, it's good enough to run it before the EISA bus and drivers are initialized. I.e. instead of calling it from the very early trap_init() code, make it a subsys_initcall().

Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y. It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework. It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and .orc_unwind_ip sections. For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to profiling workloads like perf. Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas: splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.

A recent commit moved most logic of early boot up from startup_64() written in assembly to __startup_64() written in C. Fengguang reported breakage due to the change. It was tracked down to CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER being enabled. Tracing this function is not possible because it's invoked from the earliest boot stage before the relocation fixups have been done. It is the function doing the relocation. Exclude it from being built with tracer stubs.

This patch makes arch-independent testcases for RODATA. Both x86 and x86_64 already have testcases for RODATA, But they are arch-specific because using inline assembly directly. And cacheflush.h is not a suitable location for rodata-test related things. Since they were in cacheflush.h, If someone change the state of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST, It cause overhead of kernel build. To solve the above issues, write arch-independent testcases and move it to shared location.

CONFIG_DEBUG_NX_TEST has been broken since CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y was added in v2.6.37 via: 84e1c6bb ("x86: Add RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modules") since the exception table was then made read-only. Additionally, the manually constructed extables were never fixed when relative extables were introduced in v3.5 via: 70627654 ("x86, extable: Switch to relative exception table entries") However, relative extables won't work for test_nx.c, since test instruction memory areas may be more than INT_MAX away from an executable fixup (e.g. stack and heap too far away from executable memory with the fixup). Since clearly no one has been using this code for a while now, and similar tests exist in LKDTM, this should just be removed entirely.

Rename CONFIG_SCHED_ITMT for Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 to CONFIG_SCHED_MC_PRIO. This makes the configuration extensible in future to other architectures that wish to similarly establish CPU core priorities support in the scheduler. The description in Kconfig is updated to reflect this change with added details for better clarity. The configuration is explicitly default-y, to enable the feature on CPUs that have this feature. It has no effect on non-TBM3 CPUs.

The TSC_ADJUST MSR shows whether the TSC has been modified. This is helpful in a two aspects: 1) It allows to detect BIOS wreckage, where SMM code tries to 'hide' the cycles spent by storing the TSC value at SMM entry and restoring it at SMM exit. On affected machines the TSCs run slowly out of sync up to the point where the clocksource watchdog (if available) detects it. The TSC_ADJUST MSR allows to detect the TSC modification before that and eventually restore it. This is also important for SoCs which have no watchdog clocksource and therefore TSC wreckage cannot be detected and acted upon. 2) All threads in a package are required to have the same TSC_ADJUST value. Broken BIOSes break that and as a result the TSC synchronization check fails. The TSC_ADJUST MSR allows to detect the deviation when a CPU comes online. If detected set it to the value of an already online CPU in the same package. This also allows to reduce the number of sync tests because with that in place the test is only required for the first CPU in a package. In principle all CPUs in a system should have the same TSC_ADJUST value even across packages, but with physical CPU hotplug this assumption is not true because the TSC starts with power on, so physical hotplug has to do some trickery to bring the TSC into sync with already running packages, which requires to use an TSC_ADJUST value different from CPUs which got powered earlier. A final enhancement is the opportunity to compensate for unsynced TSCs accross nodes at boot time and make the TSC usable that way. It won't help for TSCs which run apart due to frequency skew between packages, but this gets detected by the clocksource watchdog later. The first step toward this is to store the TSC_ADJUST value of a starting CPU and compare it with the value of an already online CPU in the same package. If they differ, emit a warning and adjust it to the reference value. The !SMP version just stores the boot value for later verification.

On platforms supporting Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, the maximum turbo frequencies of some cores in a CPU package may be higher than for the other cores in the same package. In that case, better performance (and possibly lower energy consumption as well) can be achieved by making the scheduler prefer to run tasks on the CPUs with higher max turbo frequencies. To that end, set up a core priority metric to abstract the core preferences based on the maximum turbo frequency. In that metric, the cores with higher maximum turbo frequencies are higher-priority than the other cores in the same package and that causes the scheduler to favor them when making load-balancing decisions using the asymmertic packing approach. At the same time, the priority of SMT threads with a higher CPU number is reduced so as to avoid scheduling tasks on all of the threads that belong to a favored core before all of the other cores have been given a task to run. The priority metric will be initialized by the P-state driver with the help of the sched_set_itmt_core_prio() function. The P-state driver will also determine whether or not ITMT is supported by the platform and will call sched_set_itmt_support() to indicate that.

The x86 stack dump code is a bit of a mess. dump_trace() uses callbacks, and each user of it seems to have slightly different requirements, so there are several slightly different callbacks floating around. Also there are some upcoming features which will need more changes to the stack dump code, including the printing of stack pt_regs, reliable stack detection for live patching, and a DWARF unwinder. Each of those features would at least need more callbacks and/or callback interfaces, resulting in a much bigger mess than what we have today. Before doing all that, we should try to clean things up and replace dump_trace() with something cleaner and more flexible. The new unwinder is a simple state machine which was heavily inspired by a suggestion from Andy Lutomirski: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CALCETrUbNTqaM2LRyXGRx=kVLRPeY5A3Pc6k4TtQxF320rUT=w@mail.gmail.com It's also similar to the libunwind API: http://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/man/libunwind(3).html Some if its advantages: - Simplicity: no more callback sprawl and less code duplication. - Flexibility: it allows the caller to stop and inspect the stack state at each step in the unwinding process. - Modularity: the unwinder code, console stack dump code, and stack metadata analysis code are all better separated so that changing one of them shouldn't have much of an impact on any of the others. Two implementations are added which conform to the new unwind interface: - The frame pointer unwinder which is used for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y. - The "guess" unwinder which is used for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n. This isn't an "unwinder" per se. All it does is scan the stack for kernel text addresses. But with no frame pointers, guesses are better than nothing in most cases.

Implement arch_klp_init_object_loaded() for x86, which applies alternatives/paravirt patches. This fixes the order in which relocations and alternatives/paravirt patches are applied. Previously, if a patch module had alternatives or paravirt patches, these were applied first by the module loader before livepatch can apply per-object relocations. The (buggy) sequence of events was: (1) Load patch module (2) Apply alternatives and paravirt patches to patch module * Note that these are applied to the new functions in the patch module (3) Apply per-object relocations to patch module when target module loads. * This clobbers what was written in step 2 This lead to crashes and corruption in general, since livepatch would overwrite or step on previously applied alternative/paravirt patches. The correct sequence of events should be: (1) Load patch module (2) Apply per-object relocations to patch module (3) Apply alternatives and paravirt patches to patch module This is fixed by delaying paravirt/alternatives patching until after relocations are applied. Any .altinstructions or .parainstructions sections are prefixed with ".klp.arch.${objname}" and applied in arch_klp_init_object_loaded().
