The variable ms is being initialized with a value that is never read and it is being updated later with a new value. The initialization is redundant and can be removed. Signed-off-by:

This sorts the actual field names too, potentially causing even more chaos and confusion at merge time if you have edited the MAINTAINERS file. But the end result is a more consistent layout, and hopefully it's a one-time pain minimized by doing this just before the -rc1 release. This was entirely scripted: ./scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --input=MAINTAINERS --output=MAINTAINERS --order Requested-by:

They are all supposed to be sorted, but people who add new entries don't always know the alphabet. Plus sometimes the entry names get edited, and people don't then re-order the entry. Let's see how painful this will be for merging purposes (the MAINTAINERS file is often edited in various different trees), but Joe claims there's relatively few patches in -next that touch this, and doing it just before -rc1 is likely the best time. Fingers crossed. This was scripted with /scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --input=MAINTAINERS --output=MAINTAINERS but then I also ended up manually upper-casing a few entry names that stood out when looking at the end result.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "A set of three patches to fix the fallout of the newly added split lock detection feature. It addressed the case where a KVM guest triggers a split lock #AC and KVM reinjects it into the guest which is not prepared to handle it. Add proper sanity checks which prevent the unconditional injection into the guest and handles the #AC on the host side in the same way as user space detections are handled. Depending on the detection mode it either warns and disables detection for the task or kills the task if the mode is set to fatal" * tag 'x86-urgent-2020-04-12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: KVM: VMX: Extend VMXs #AC interceptor to handle split lock #AC in guest KVM: x86: Emulate split-lock access as a write in emulator x86/split_lock: Provide handle_guest_split_lock()

Two types of #AC can be generated in Intel CPUs: 1. legacy alignment check #AC 2. split lock #AC Reflect #AC back into the guest if the guest has legacy alignment checks enabled or if split lock detection is disabled. If the #AC is not a legacy one and split lock detection is enabled, then invoke handle_guest_split_lock() which will either warn and disable split lock detection for this task or force SIGBUS on it.

Emulate split-lock accesses as writes if split lock detection is on to avoid #AC during emulation, which will result in a panic(). This should never occur for a well-behaved guest, but a malicious guest can manipulate the TLB to trigger emulation of a locked instruction[1]. More discussion can be found at [2][3].

Without at least minimal handling for split lock detection induced #AC, VMX will just run into the same problem as the VMWare hypervisor, which was reported by Kenneth. It will inject the #AC blindly into the guest whether the guest is prepared or not. Provide a function for guest mode which acts depending on the host SLD mode. If mode == sld_warn, treat it like user space, i.e. emit a warning, disable SLD and mark the task accordingly. Otherwise force SIGBUS.

After request_module(), nothing is stopping the module from being unloaded until someone takes a reference to it via try_get_module(). The WARN_ONCE() in get_fs_type() is thus user-reachable, via userspace running 'rmmod' concurrently. Since WARN_ONCE() is for kernel bugs only, not for user-reachable situations, downgrade this warning to pr_warn_once(). Keep it printed once only, since the intent of this warning is to detect a bug in modprobe at boot time. Printing the warning more than once wouldn't really provide any useful extra information.

Patch series "module autoloading fixes and cleanups", v5. This series fixes a bug where request_module() was reporting success to kernel code when module autoloading had been completely disabled via 'echo > /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe'. It also addresses the issues raised on the original thread (https://lkml.kernel.org/lkml/20200310223731.126894-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/T/#u) bydocumenting the modprobe sysctl, adding a self-test for the empty path case, and downgrading a user-reachable WARN_ONCE(). This patch (of 4): It's long been possible to disable kernel module autoloading completely (while still allowing manual module insertion) by setting /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe to the empty string. This can be preferable to setting it to a nonexistent file since it avoids the overhead of an attempted execve(), avoids potential deadlocks, and avoids the call to security_kernel_module_request() and thus on SELinux-based systems eliminates the need to write SELinux rules to dontaudit module_request. However, when module autoloading is disabled in this way, request_module() returns 0. This is broken because callers expect 0 to mean that the module was successfully loaded. Apparently this was never noticed because this method of disabling module autoloading isn't used much, and also most callers don't use the return value of request_module() since it's always necessary to check whether the module registered its functionality or not anyway. But improperly returning 0 can indeed confuse a few callers, for example get_fs_type() in fs/filesystems.c where it causes a WARNING to be hit: if (!fs && (request_module("fs-%.*s", len, name) == 0)) { fs = __get_fs_type(name, len); WARN_ONCE(!fs, "request_module fs-%.*s succeeded, but still no fs?\n", len, name); } This is easily reproduced with: echo > /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe mount -t NONEXISTENT none / It causes: request_module fs-NONEXISTENT succeeded, but still no fs? WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1106 at fs/filesystems.c:275 get_fs_type+0xd6/0xf0 [...] This should actually use pr_warn_once() rather than WARN_ONCE(), since it's also user-reachable if userspace immediately unloads the module. Regardless, request_module() should correctly return an error when it fails. So let's make it return -ENOENT, which matches the error when the modprobe binary doesn't exist. I've also sent patches to document and test this case. Signed-off-by:

PCI BAR IO memory should never be mapped as WB, however prior to this the PAT bits were set WB and it was typically overridden by MTRR registers set by the firmware. Set PCI P2PDMA memory to be UC as this is what it currently, typically, ends up being mapped as on x86 after the MTRR registers override the cache setting. Future use-cases may need to generalize this by adding flags to select the caching type, as some P2PDMA cases may not want UC. However, those use-cases are not upstream yet and this can be changed when they arrive. Signed-off-by:

devm_memremap_pages() is currently used by the PCI P2PDMA code to create struct page mappings for IO memory. At present, these mappings are created with PAGE_KERNEL which implies setting the PAT bits to be WB. However, on x86, an mtrr register will typically override this and force the cache type to be UC-. In the case firmware doesn't set this register it is effectively WB and will typically result in a machine check exception when it's accessed. Other arches are not currently likely to function correctly seeing they don't have any MTRR registers to fall back on. To solve this, provide a way to specify the pgprot value explicitly to arch_add_memory(). Of the arches that support MEMORY_HOTPLUG: x86_64, and arm64 need a simple change to pass the pgprot_t down to their respective functions which set up the page tables. For x86_32, set the page tables explicitly using _set_memory_prot() (seeing they are already mapped). For ia64, s390 and sh, reject anything but PAGE_KERNEL settings -- this should be fine, for now, seeing these architectures don't support ZONE_DEVICE. A check in __add_pages() is also added to ensure the pgprot parameter was set for all arches. Signed-off-by:
