In order to save on redundant structs definitions insn_get_code_seg_params() was made to return two 4-bit values in a char but clang complains: arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c:780:10: warning: implicit conversion from 'int' to 'char' changes value from 132 to -124 [-Wconstant-conversion] return INSN_CODE_SEG_PARAMS(4, 8); ~~~~~~ ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ./arch/x86/include/asm/insn-eval.h:16:57: note: expanded from macro 'INSN_CODE_SEG_PARAMS' #define INSN_CODE_SEG_PARAMS(oper_sz, addr_sz) (oper_sz | (addr_sz << 4)) Those two values do get picked apart afterwards the opposite way of how they were ORed so wrt to the LSByte, the return value is the same. But this function returns -EINVAL in the error case, which is an int. So make it return an int which is the native word size anyway and thus fix the clang warning.

Running this code with IRQs enabled (where dummy_lock is a spinlock): static void check_load_gs_index(void) { /* This will fail. */ load_gs_index(0xffff); spin_lock(&dummy_lock); spin_unlock(&dummy_lock); } Will generate a lockdep warning. The issue is that the actual write to %gs would cause an exception with IRQs disabled, and the exception handler would, as an inadvertent side effect, update irqflag tracing to reflect the IRQs-off status. native_load_gs_index() would then turn IRQs back on and return with irqflag tracing still thinking that IRQs were off. The dummy lock-and-unlock causes lockdep to notice the error and warn. Fix it by adding the missing tracing. Apparently nothing did this in a context where it mattered. I haven't tried to find a code path that would actually exhibit the warning if appropriately nasty user code were running. I suspect that the security impact of this bug is very, very low -- production systems don't run with lockdep enabled, and the warning is mostly harmless anyway. Found during a quick audit of the entry code to try to track down an unrelated bug that Ingo found in some still-in-development code.

[ Note, this commit is a cherry-picked version of: d17a1d97: ("x86/mm/kasan: don't use vmemmap_populate() to initialize shadow") ... for easier x86 entry code testing and back-porting. ] The KASAN shadow is currently mapped using vmemmap_populate() since that provides a semi-convenient way to map pages into init_top_pgt. However, since that no longer zeroes the mapped pages, it is not suitable for KASAN, which requires zeroed shadow memory. Add kasan_populate_shadow() interface and use it instead of vmemmap_populate(). Besides, this allows us to take advantage of gigantic pages and use them to populate the shadow, which should save us some memory wasted on page tables and reduce TLB pressure.

When I added entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe(), I left TRACE_IRQS_OFF before it. This means that users of entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe() were responsible for invoking TRACE_IRQS_OFF, and the one and only user (Xen, added in the same commit) got it wrong. I think this would manifest as a warning if a Xen PV guest with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y were used with context tracking. (The context tracking bit is to cause lockdep to get invoked before we turn IRQs back on.) I haven't tested that for real yet because I can't get a kernel configured like that to boot at all on Xen PV. Move TRACE_IRQS_OFF below the label. Signed-off-by:

Print a rate-limited warning when a user-space program attempts to execute any of the instructions that UMIP protects (i.e., SGDT, SIDT, SLDT, STR and SMSW). This is useful, because when CONFIG_X86_INTEL_UMIP=y is selected and supported by the hardware, user space programs that try to execute such instructions will receive a SIGSEGV signal that they might not expect. In the specific cases for which emulation is provided (instructions SGDT, SIDT and SMSW in protected and virtual-8086 modes), no signal is generated. However, a warning is helpful to encourage updates in such programs to avoid the use of such instructions. Warnings are printed via a customized printk() function that also provides information about the program that attempted to use the affected instructions. Utility macros are defined to wrap umip_printk() for the error and warning kernel log levels. While here, replace an existing call to the generic rate-limited pr_err() with the new umip_pr_err().

A system booted with a small number of cores enabled per package panics because the estimate of __max_logical_packages is too low. This occurs when the total number of active cores across all packages is less than the maximum core count for a single package. e.g.: On a 4 package system with 20 cores/package where only 4 cores are enabled on each package, the value of __max_logical_packages is calculated as DIV_ROUND_UP(16 / 20) = 1 and not 4. Calculate __max_logical_packages after the cpu enumeration has completed. Use the boot cpu's data to extrapolate the number of packages. Signed-off-by:

Analyzing large early boot allocations unveiled the logical package id storage as a prominent memory waste. Since commit 1f12e32f ("x86/topology: Create logical package id") every 64-bit system allocates a 128k array to convert logical package ids. This happens because the array is sized for MAX_LOCAL_APIC which is always 32k on 64bit systems, and it needs 4 bytes for each entry. This is fairly wasteful, especially for the common case of having only one socket, which uses exactly 4 byte out of 128K. There is no user of the package id map which is performance critical, so the lookup is not required to be O(1). Store the logical processor id in cpu_data and use a loop based lookup. To keep the mapping stable accross cpu hotplug operations, add a flag to cpu_data which is set when the CPU is brought up the first time. When the flag is set, then cpu_data is not reinitialized by copying boot_cpu_data on subsequent bringups. [ tglx: Rename the flag to 'initialized', use proper pointers instead of repeated cpu_data(x) evaluation and massage changelog. ] Signed-off-by:

Platforms which support only IOAPIC mode, pass the SCI information above the legacy space (0-15) via the FADT mechanism and not via MADT. In such cases mp_override_legacy_irq() which is invoked from acpi_sci_ioapic_setup() to register SCI interrupts fails for interrupts greater equal 16, since it is meant to handle only the legacy space and emits error "Invalid bus_irq %u for legacy override". Add a new function to handle SCI interrupts >= 16 and invoke it conditionally in acpi_sci_ioapic_setup(). The code duplication due to this new function will be cleaned up in a separate patch.

When crosvm is used to boot a kernel as a VM, the SMP MP-table is found at physical address 0x0. This causes mpf_base to be set to 0 and a subsequent "if (!mpf_base)" check in default_get_smp_config() results in the MP-table not being parsed. Further into the boot this results in an oops when attempting a read_apic_id(). Add a boolean variable that is set to true when the MP-table is found. Use this variable for testing if the MP-table was found so that even a value of 0 for mpf_base will result in continued parsing of the MP-table.

One thing /dev/mem access APIs should verify is that there's no way that excessively large pfn's can leak into the high bits of the page table entry. In particular, if people can use "very large physical page addresses" through /dev/mem to set the bits past bit 58 - SOFTW4 and permission key bits and NX bit, that could *really* confuse the kernel. We had an earlier attempt: ce56a86e ("x86/mm: Limit mmap() of /dev/mem to valid physical addresses") ... which turned out to be too restrictive (breaking mem=... bootups for example) and had to be reverted in: 90edaac6 ("Revert "x86/mm: Limit mmap() of /dev/mem to valid physical addresses"") This v2 attempt modifies the original patch and makes sure that mmap(/dev/mem) limits the pfns so that it at least fits in the actual pteval_t architecturally: - Make sure mmap_mem() actually validates that the offset fits in phys_addr_t ( This may be indirectly true due to some other check, but it's not entirely obvious. ) - Change valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() to just use phys_addr_valid() on the top byte ( Top byte is sufficient, because mmap_mem() has already checked that it cannot wrap. ) - Add a few comments about what the valid_phys_addr_range() vs. valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() difference is.

5-level paging provides a 56-bit virtual address space for user space application. But the kernel defaults to mappings below the 47-bit address space boundary, which is the upper bound for 4-level paging, unless an application explicitely request it by using a mmap(2) address hint above the 47-bit boundary. The kernel prevents mappings which spawn across the 47-bit boundary unless mmap(2) was invoked with MAP_FIXED. Add a self-test that covers the corner cases of the interface and validates the correctness of the implementation. [ tglx: Massaged changelog once more ] Signed-off-by:

In case of 5-level paging, the kernel does not place any mapping above 47-bit, unless userspace explicitly asks for it. Userspace can request an allocation from the full address space by specifying the mmap address hint above 47-bit. Nicholas noticed that the current implementation violates this interface: If user space requests a mapping at the end of the 47-bit address space with a length which causes the mapping to cross the 47-bit border (DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW), then the vma is partially in the address space below and above. Sanity check the mmap address hint so that start and end of the resulting vma are on the same side of the 47-bit border. If that's not the case fall back to the code path which ignores the address hint and allocate from the regular address space below 47-bit. To make the checks consistent, mask out the address hints lower bits (either PAGE_MASK or huge_page_mask()) instead of using ALIGN() which can push them up to the next boundary.

The STR and SLDT instructions are not emulated by the UMIP code, thus there's no functionality in the decoder to identify them. However, a subsequent commit will introduce a warning about the use of all the instructions that UMIP protect/changes, not only those that are emulated. A first step for that is to add the ability to decode/identify them. Plus, now that STR and SLDT are identified, we need to explicitly avoid their emulation (i.e., not rely on successful identification). Group together all the cases that we do not want to emulate: STR, SLDT and user long mode processes. Signed-off-by:

Even though aperfmperf_snapshot_khz() caches the samples.khz value to return if called again in a sufficiently short time, its caller, arch_freq_get_on_cpu(), still uses smp_call_function_single() to run it which may allow user space to trigger an IPI storm by reading from the scaling_cur_freq cpufreq sysfs file in a tight loop. To avoid that, move the decision on whether or not to return the cached samples.khz value to arch_freq_get_on_cpu(). This change was part of commit 941f5f0f ("x86: CPU: Fix up "cpu MHz" in /proc/cpuinfo"), but it was not the reason for the revert and it remains applicable.

Pull x86 APIC updates from Thomas Gleixner: "This update provides a major overhaul of the APIC initialization and vector allocation code: - Unification of the APIC and interrupt mode setup which was scattered all over the place and was hard to follow. This also distangles the timer setup from the APIC initialization which brings a clear separation of functionality. Great detective work from Dou Lyiang! - Refactoring of the x86 vector allocation mechanism. The existing code was based on nested loops and rather convoluted APIC callbacks which had a horrible worst case behaviour and tried to serve all different use cases in one go. This led to quite odd hacks when supporting the new managed interupt facility for multiqueue devices and made it more or less impossible to deal with the vector space exhaustion which was a major roadblock for server hibernation. Aside of that the code dealing with cpu hotplug and the system vectors was disconnected from the actual vector management and allocation code, which made it hard to follow and maintain. Utilizing the new bitmap matrix allocator core mechanism, the new allocator and management code consolidates the handling of system vectors, legacy vectors, cpu hotplug mechanisms and the actual allocation which needs to be aware of system and legacy vectors and hotplug constraints into a single consistent entity. This has one visible change: The support for multi CPU targets of interrupts, which is only available on a certain subset of CPUs/APIC variants has been removed in favour of single interrupt targets. A proper analysis of the multi CPU target feature revealed that there is no real advantage as the vast majority of interrupts end up on the CPU with the lowest APIC id in the set of target CPUs anyway. That change was agreed on by the relevant folks and allowed to simplify the implementation significantly and to replace rather fragile constructs like the vector cleanup IPI with straight forward and solid code. Furthermore this allowed to cleanly separate the allocation details for legacy, normal and managed interrupts: * Legacy interrupts are not longer wasting 16 vectors unconditionally * Managed interrupts have now a guaranteed vector reservation, but the actual vector assignment happens when the interrupt is requested. It's guaranteed not to fail. * Normal interrupts no longer allocate vectors unconditionally when the interrupt is set up (IO/APIC init or MSI(X) enable). The mechanism has been switched to a best effort reservation mode. The actual allocation happens when the interrupt is requested. Contrary to managed interrupts the request can fail due to vector space exhaustion, but drivers must handle a fail of request_irq() anyway. When the interrupt is freed, the vector is handed back as well. This solves a long standing problem with large unconditional vector allocations for a certain class of enterprise devices which prevented server hibernation due to vector space exhaustion when the unused allocated vectors had to be migrated to CPU0 while unplugging all non boot CPUs.

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar: "Note that in this cycle most of the x86 topics interacted at a level that caused them to be merged into tip:x86/asm - but this should be a temporary phenomenon, hopefully we'll back to the usual patterns in the next merge window. The main changes in this cycle were: Hardware enablement: - Add support for the Intel UMIP (User Mode Instruction Prevention) CPU feature. This is a security feature that disables certain instructions such as SGDT, SLDT, SIDT, SMSW and STR. (Ricardo Neri) [ Note that this is disabled by default for now, there are some smaller enhancements in the pipeline that I'll follow up with in the next 1-2 days, which allows this to be enabled by default.] - Add support for the AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) CPU feature, on top of SME (Secure Memory Encryption) support that was added in v4.14. (Tom Lendacky, Brijesh Singh) - Enable new SSE/AVX/AVX512 CPU features: AVX512_VBMI2, GFNI, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ, AVX512_VNNI, AVX512_BITALG. (Gayatri Kammela) Other changes: - A big series of entry code simplifications and enhancements (Andy Lutomirski) - Make the ORC unwinder default on x86 and various objtool enhancements. (Josh Poimboeuf) - 5-level paging enhancements (Kirill A. Shutemov) - Micro-optimize the entry code a bit (Borislav Petkov) - Improve the handling of interdependent CPU features in the early FPU init code (Andi Kleen) - Build system enhancements (Changbin Du, Masahiro Yamada) - ... plus misc enhancements, fixes and cleanups" * 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (118 commits) x86/build: Make the boot image generation less verbose selftests/x86: Add tests for the STR and SLDT instructions selftests/x86: Add tests for User-Mode Instruction Prevention x86/traps: Fix up general protection faults caused by UMIP x86/umip: Enable User-Mode Instruction Prevention at runtime x86/umip: Force a page fault when unable to copy emulated result to user x86/umip: Add emulation code for UMIP instructions x86/cpufeature: Add User-Mode Instruction Prevention definitions x86/insn-eval: Add support to resolve 16-bit address encodings x86/insn-eval: Handle 32-bit address encodings in virtual-8086 mode x86/insn-eval: Add wrapper function for 32 and 64-bit addresses x86/insn-eval: Add support to resolve 32-bit address encodings x86/insn-eval: Compute linear address in several utility functions resource: Fix resource_size.cocci warnings X86/KVM: Clear encryption attribute when SEV is active X86/KVM: Decrypt shared per-cpu variables when SEV is active percpu: Introduce DEFINE_PER_CPU_DECRYPTED x86: Add support for changing memory encryption attribute in early boot x86/io: Unroll string I/O when SEV is active x86/boot: Add early boot support when running with SEV active ... -

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle were: Kernel: - kprobes updates: use better W^X patterns for code modifications, improve optprobes, remove jprobes. (Masami Hiramatsu, Kees Cook) - core fixes: event timekeeping (enabled/running times statistics) fixes, perf_event_read() locking fixes and cleanups, etc. (Peter Zijlstra) - Extend x86 Intel free-running PEBS support and support x86 user-register sampling in perf record and perf script. (Andi Kleen) Tooling: - Completely rework the way inline frames are handled. Instead of querying for the inline nodes on-demand in the individual tools, we now create proper callchain nodes for inlined frames. (Milian Wolff) - 'perf trace' updates (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Implement a way to print formatted output to per-event files in 'perf script' to facilitate generate flamegraphs, elliminating the need to write scripts to do that separation (yuzhoujian, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Update vendor events JSON metrics for Intel's Broadwell, Broadwell Server, Haswell, Haswell Server, IvyBridge, IvyTown, JakeTown, Sandy Bridge, Skylake, SkyLake Server - and Goldmont Plus V1 (Andi Kleen, Kan Liang) - Multithread the synthesizing of PERF_RECORD_ events for pre-existing threads in 'perf top', speeding up that phase, greatly improving the user experience in systems such as Intel's Knights Mill (Kan Liang) - Introduce the concept of weak groups in 'perf stat': try to set up a group, but if it's not schedulable fallback to not using a group.
