Linus Torvalds 30de24c7dd Merge branch 'x86-cache-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 cache QoS (RDT/CAR) updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Add support for pseudo-locked cache regions.

  Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) allows on certain CPUs to isolate a
  region of cache and 'lock' it. Cache pseudo-locking builds on the fact
  that a CPU can still read and write data pre-allocated outside its
  current allocated area on cache hit. With cache pseudo-locking data
  can be preloaded into a reserved portion of cache that no application
  can fill, and from that point on will only serve cache hits. The cache
  pseudo-locked memory is made accessible to user space where an
  application can map it into its virtual address space and thus have a
  region of memory with reduced average read latency.

  The locking is not perfect and gets totally screwed by WBINDV and
  similar mechanisms, but it provides a reasonable enhancement for
  certain types of latency sensitive applications.

  The implementation extends the current CAT mechanism and provides a
  generally useful exclusive CAT mode on which it builds the extra
  pseude-locked regions"

Pavel Tatashin fe9af81e52 x86/tsc: Redefine notsc to behave as tsc=unstable
Currently, the notsc kernel parameter disables the use of the TSC by
sched_clock(). However, this parameter does not prevent the kernel from
accessing tsc in other places.

The only rationale to boot with notsc is to avoid timing discrepancies on
multi-socket systems where TSC are not properly synchronized, and thus
exclude TSC from being used for time keeping. But that prevents using TSC
as sched_clock() as well, which is not necessary as the core sched_clock()
implementation can handle non synchronized TSC based sched clocks just
fine.

However, there is another method to solve the above problem: booting with
tsc=unstable parameter. This parameter allows sched_clock() to use TSC and
just excludes it from timekeeping.

So there is no real reason to keep notsc, but for compatibility reasons the
parameter has to stay. Make it behave like 'tsc=unstable' instead.

Dan Williams cc9aec03e5 x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capability
The current NUMA emulation capabilities for splitting System RAM by a
fixed size or by a set number of nodes may result in some nodes being
larger than others. The implementation prioritizes establishing a
minimum usable memory size over satisfying the requested number of NUMA
nodes.

Introduce a uniform split capability that evenly partitions each
physical NUMA node into N emulated nodes. For example numa=fake=3U
creates 6 emulated nodes total on a system that has 2 physical nodes.

This capability is useful for debugging and evaluating platform
memory-side-cache capabilities as described by the ACPI HMAT (see
5.2.27.5 Memory Side Cache Information Structure in ACPI 6.2a)

Compare numa=fake=6 that results in only 5 nodes being created against
numa=fake=3U which takes the 2 physical nodes and evenly divides them.

Reinette Chatre 33dc3e410a x86/intel_rdt: Make CPU information accessible for pseudo-locked regions
When a resource group enters pseudo-locksetup mode it reflects that the
platform supports cache pseudo-locking and the resource group is unused,
ready to be used for a pseudo-locked region. Until it is set up as a
pseudo-locked region the resource group is "locked down" such that no new
tasks or cpus can be assigned to it. This is accomplished in a user visible
way by making the cpus, cpus_list, and tasks resctrl files inaccassible
(user cannot read from or write to these files).

When the resource group changes to pseudo-locked mode it represents a cache
pseudo-locked region. While not appropriate to make any changes to the cpus
assigned to this region it is useful to make it easy for the user to see
which cpus are associated with the pseudo-locked region.

Modify the permissions of the cpus/cpus_list file when the resource group
changes to pseudo-locked mode to support reading (not writing).  The
information presented to the user when reading the file are the cpus
associated with the pseudo-locked region.

Reinette Chatre 6fc0de37f6 x86/intel_rdt: Limit C-states dynamically when pseudo-locking active
Deeper C-states impact cache content through shrinking of the cache or
flushing entire cache to memory before reducing power to the cache.
Deeper C-states will thus negatively impact the pseudo-locked regions.

To avoid impacting pseudo-locked regions C-states are limited on
pseudo-locked region creation so that cores associated with the
pseudo-locked region are prevented from entering deeper C-states.
This is accomplished by requesting a CPU latency target which will
prevent the core from entering C6 across all supported platforms.

Reinette Chatre cba1aab84f x86/intel_rdt: Document new mode, size, and bit_usage
By default resource groups allow sharing of their cache allocations.  There
is nothing that prevents a resource group from configuring a cache
allocation that overlaps with that of an existing resource group.

To enable resource groups to specify that their cache allocations cannot be
shared a resource group "mode" is introduced to support two possible modes:
"shareable" and "exclusive". A "shareable" resource group allows sharing of
its cache allocations, an "exclusive" resource group does not. A new
resctrl file "mode" associated with each resource group is used to
communicate its (the associated resource group's) mode setting and allow
the mode to be changed.  The new "mode" file as well as two other resctrl
files, "bit_usage" and "size", are introduced in this series.

Add documentation for the three new resctrl files as well as one example
demonstrating their use.

This is something drivers should decide (modulo chipset quirks like
for VIA), which as far as I can tell is how things have been handled

Note that we keep the usedac option for now, as it is used in the wild

Kirill A. Shutemov 6657fca06e x86/mm: Allow to boot without LA57 if CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y
All pieces of the puzzle are in place and we can now allow to boot with
CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y on a machine without LA57 support.

Kernel will detect that LA57 is missing and fold p4d at runtime.

Update the documentation and the Kconfig option description to reflect the

Pull x86 pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This contains:

   - a PTI bugfix to avoid setting reserved CR3 bits when PCID is
     disabled. This seems to cause issues on a virtual machine at least
     and is incorrect according to the AMD manual.

   - a PTI bugfix which disables the perf BTS facility if PTI is
     enabled. The BTS AUX buffer is not globally visible and causes the
     CPU to fault when the mapping disappears on switching CR3 to user
     space. A full fix which restores BTS on PTI is non trivial and will
     be worked on.

   - PTI bugfixes for EFI and trusted boot which make sure that the user
     space visible page table entries have the NX bit cleared

   - removal of dead code in the PTI pagetable setup functions

   - add PTI documentation

   - add a selftest for vsyscall to verify that the kernel actually
     implements what it advertises.

   - a sysfs interface to expose vulnerability and mitigation
     information so there is a coherent way for users to retrieve the
     status.

   - the initial spectre_v2 mitigations, aka retpoline:

      + The necessary ASM thunk and compiler support

      + The ASM variants of retpoline and the conversion of affected ASM
        code

      + Make LFENCE serializing on AMD so it can be used as speculation
        trap

      + The RSB fill after vmexit

   - initial objtool support for retpoline

  As I said in the status mail this is the most of the set of patches
  which should go into 4.15 except two straight forward patches still on
  hold:

   - the retpoline add on of LFENCE which waits for ACKs

   - the RSB fill after context switch

  Both should be ready to go early next week and with that we'll have
  covered the major holes of spectre_v2 and go back to normality"

Pull  more x86 pti fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Another small stash of fixes for fallout from the PTI work:

   - Fix the modules vs. KASAN breakage which was caused by making
     MODULES_END depend of the fixmap size. That was done when the cpu
     entry area moved into the fixmap, but now that we have a separate
     map space for that this is causing more issues than it solves.

   - Use the proper cache flush methods for the debugstore buffers as
     they are mapped/unmapped during runtime and not statically mapped
     at boot time like the rest of the cpu entry area.

   - Make the map layout of the cpu_entry_area consistent for 4 and 5
     level paging and fix the KASLR vaddr_end wreckage.

   - Use PER_CPU_EXPORT for per cpu variable and while at it unbreak
     nvidia gfx drivers by dropping the GPL export. The subject line of
     the commit tells it the other way around, but I noticed that too
     late.

   - Fix the ASM alternative macros so they can be used in the middle of
     an inline asm block.

   - Rename the BUG_CPU_INSECURE flag to BUG_CPU_MELTDOWN so the attack
     vector is properly identified. The Spectre mitigations will come
     with their own bug bits later"

Thomas Gleixner 1dddd25125 x86/kaslr: Fix the vaddr_end mess
vaddr_end for KASLR is only documented in the KASLR code itself and is
adjusted depending on config options. So it's not surprising that a change
of the memory layout causes KASLR to have the wrong vaddr_end. This can map
arbitrary stuff into other areas causing hard to understand problems.

Remove the whole ifdef magic and define the start of the cpu_entry_area to
be the end of the KASLR vaddr range.

Add documentation to that effect.

Andrey Ryabinin f5a40711fa x86/mm: Set MODULES_END to 0xffffffffff000000
Since f06bdd4001 ("x86/mm: Adapt MODULES_END based on fixmap section size")
kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) could be not aligned to a page boundary.

So passing page unaligned address to kasan_populate_zero_shadow() have two
possible effects:

1) It may leave one page hole in supposed to be populated area. After commit
  21506525fb ("x86/kasan/64: Teach KASAN about the cpu_entry_area") that
  hole happens to be in the shadow covering fixmap area and leads to crash:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffbffffe8ee04
 RIP: 0010:check_memory_region+0x5c/0x190

 Call Trace:
  <NMI>
  memcpy+0x1f/0x50
  ghes_copy_tofrom_phys+0xab/0x180
  ghes_read_estatus+0xfb/0x280

  default_do_nmi+0x57/0x110
  do_nmi+0xf8/0x150
  end_repeat_nmi+0x1a/0x1e

Note, the crash likely disappeared after commit 92a0f81d89, which
changed kasan_populate_zero_shadow() call the way it was before
commit 21506525fb.

2) Attempt to load module near MODULES_END will fail, because
   __vmalloc_node_range() called from kasan_module_alloc() will hit the
   WARN_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in the vmap_pte_range() and bail out with error.

To fix this we need to make kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) page aligned
which means that MODULES_END should be 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned.

The whole point of commit f06bdd4001 was to move MODULES_END down if
NR_CPUS is big, so the cpu_entry_area takes a lot of space.
But since 92a0f81d89 ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap")
the cpu_entry_area is no longer in fixmap, so we could just set
MODULES_END to a fixed 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned address.

An earlier approach mapped the LDT on context switch into a fixmap area,
but that's a big overhead and exhausted the fixmap space when NR_CPUS got
big.

Take advantage of the fact that there is an address space hole which
provides a completely unused pgd. Use this pgd to manage per-mm LDT
mappings.

This has a down side: the LDT isn't (currently) randomized, and an attack
that can write the LDT is instant root due to call gates (thanks, AMD, for
leaving call gates in AMD64 but designing them wrong so they're only useful
for exploits).  This can be mitigated by making the LDT read-only or
randomizing the mapping, either of which is strightforward on top of this
patch.

This will significantly slow down LDT users, but that shouldn't matter for
important workloads -- the LDT is only used by DOSEMU(2), Wine, and very
old libc implementations.

Linus Torvalds caf9a82657 Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 PTI preparatory patches from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Todays Advent calendar window contains twentyfour easy to digest
  patches. The original plan was to have twenty three matching the date,
  but a late fixup made that moot.

   - Move the cpu_entry_area mapping out of the fixmap into a separate
     address space. That's necessary because the fixmap becomes too big
     with NRCPUS=8192 and this caused already subtle and hard to
     diagnose failures.

     The top most patch is fresh from today and cures a brain slip of
     that tall grumpy german greybeard, who ignored the intricacies of
     32bit wraparounds.

   - Limit the number of CPUs on 32bit to 64. That's insane big already,
     but at least it's small enough to prevent address space issues with
     the cpu_entry_area map, which have been observed and debugged with
     the fixmap code

   - A few TLB flush fixes in various places plus documentation which of
     the TLB functions should be used for what.

   - Rename the SYSENTER stack to CPU_ENTRY_AREA stack as it is used for
     more than sysenter now and keeping the name makes backtraces
     confusing.

   - Prevent LDT inheritance on exec() by moving it to arch_dup_mmap(),
     which is only invoked on fork().

   - Make vysycall more robust.

   - A few fixes and cleanups of the debug_pagetables code. Check
     PAGE_PRESENT instead of checking the PTE for 0 and a cleanup of the
     C89 initialization of the address hint array which already was out
     of sync with the index enums.

   - Move the ESPFIX init to a different place to prepare for PTI.

   - Several code moves with no functional change to make PTI
     integration simpler and header files less convoluted.

   - Documentation fixes and clarifications"

Andrey Ryabinin 12a8cc7fcf x86/kasan: Use the same shadow offset for 4- and 5-level paging
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.

Pull x86 mm changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "PCID support, 5-level paging support, Secure Memory Encryption support

  The main changes in this cycle are support for three new, complex
  hardware features of x86 CPUs:

   - Add 5-level paging support, which is a new hardware feature on
     upcoming Intel CPUs allowing up to 128 PB of virtual address space
     and 4 PB of physical RAM space - a 512-fold increase over the old
     limits. (Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an
     ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.)

     Many of the necessary changes went upstream in previous cycles,
     v4.14 is the first kernel that can enable 5-level paging.

     This feature is activated via CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y - disabled by
     default.

     (By Kirill A. Shutemov)

   - Add 'encrypted memory' support, which is a new hardware feature on
     upcoming AMD CPUs ('Secure Memory Encryption', SME) allowing system
     RAM to be encrypted and decrypted (mostly) transparently by the
     CPU, with a little help from the kernel to transition to/from
     encrypted RAM. Such RAM should be more secure against various
     attacks like RAM access via the memory bus and should make the
     radio signature of memory bus traffic harder to intercept (and
     decrypt) as well.

     This feature is activated via CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y - disabled
     by default.

     (By Tom Lendacky)

   - Enable PCID optimized TLB flushing on newer Intel CPUs: PCID is a
     hardware feature that attaches an address space tag to TLB entries
     and thus allows to skip TLB flushing in many cases, even if we
     switch mm's.

     (By Andy Lutomirski)

  All three of these features were in the works for a long time, and
  it's coincidence of the three independent development paths that they
  are all enabled in v4.14 at once"

Fenghua Yu 0dd2d7494c x86/intel_rdt: Show bitmask of shareable resource with other executing units
CPUID.(EAX=0x10, ECX=res#):EBX[31:0] reports a bit mask for a resource.
Each set bit within the length of the CBM indicates the corresponding
unit of the resource allocation may be used by other entities in the
platform (e.g. an integrated graphics engine or hardware units outside
the processor core and have direct access to the resource). Each
cleared bit within the length of the CBM indicates the corresponding
allocation unit can be configured to implement a priority-based
allocation scheme without interference with other hardware agents in
the system. Bits outside the length of the CBM are reserved.

More details on the bit mask are described in x86 Software Developer's
Manual.

The bitmask is shown in "info" directory for each resource. It's
up to user to decide how to use the bitmask within a CBM in a partition
to share or isolate a resource with other executing units.

Josh Poimboeuf ee9f8fce99 x86/unwind: Add the ORC unwinder
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.

Jiri Olsa 4ffa3c977b x86/intel_rdt: Add cpus_list rdtgroup file
The resource control filesystem provides only a bitmask based cpus file for
assigning CPUs to a resource group. That's cumbersome with large cpumasks
and non-intuitive when modifying the file from the command line.

Range based cpu lists are commonly used along with bitmask based cpu files
in various subsystems throughout the kernel.

Add 'cpus_list' file which is CPU range based.

  # cd /sys/fs/resctrl/
  # echo 1-10 > krava/cpus_list
  # cat krava/cpus_list
  1-10
  # cat krava/cpus
  0007fe

Remove code that requires that the user provides values for every resource

resources, update them and leave the rest unchanged.

Side benefit: we now check which values were updated and only send IPIs to
cpus that actually have updates.

Thomas Garnier f06bdd4001 x86/mm: Adapt MODULES_END based on fixmap section size
This patch aligns MODULES_END to the beginning of the fixmap section.
It optimizes the space available for both sections. The address is
pre-computed based on the number of pages required by the fixmap

It will allow GDT remapping in the fixmap section. The current
MODULES_END static address does not provide enough space for the kernel

David Howells de8cb45862 efi: Get and store the secure boot status
Get the firmware's secure-boot status in the kernel boot wrapper and stash
it somewhere that the main kernel image can find.

The efi_get_secureboot() function is extracted from the ARM stub and (a)
generalised so that it can be called from x86 and (b) made to use
efi_call_runtime() so that it can be run in mixed-mode.

For x86, it is stored in boot_params and can be overridden by the boot
loader or kexec.  This allows secure-boot mode to be passed on to a new
kernel.

In line with the rename to 'struct e820_array', harmonize the naming of common e820
table variable names as well:

 e820          =>  e820_array
 e820_saved    =>  e820_array_saved
 e820_map      =>  e820_array
 initial_e820  =>  e820_array_init

This makes the variable names more consistent  and easier to grep for.

No change in functionality.

Ingo Molnar 8ec67d97bf x86/boot/e820: Rename the basic e820 data types to 'struct e820_entry' and 'struct e820_array'
The 'e820entry' and 'e820map' names have various annoyances:

 - the missing underscore departs from the usual kernel style
   and makes the code look weird,

 - in the past I kept confusing the 'map' with the 'entry', because
   a 'map' is ambiguous in that regard,

 - it's not really clear from the 'e820map' that this is a regular
   C array.

Rename them to 'struct e820_entry' and 'struct e820_array' accordingly.

( Leave the legacy UAPI header alone but do the rename in the bootparam.h
  and e820/types.h file - outside tools relying on these defines should
  either adjust their code, or should use the legacy header, or should
  create their private copies for the definitions. )

Linus Torvalds eb254f323b Merge branch 'x86-cache-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 cache allocation interface from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This provides support for Intel's Cache Allocation Technology, a cache
  partitioning mechanism.

  The interface is odd, but the hardware interface of that CAT stuff is
  odd as well.

  We tried hard to come up with an abstraction, but that only allows
  rather simple partitioning, but no way of sharing and dealing with the
  per package nature of this mechanism.

  In the end we decided to expose the allocation bitmaps directly so all
  combinations of the hardware can be utilized.

  There are two ways of associating a cache partition:

   - Task

     A task can be added to a resource group. It uses the cache
     partition associated to the group.

   - CPU

     All tasks which are not member of a resource group use the group to
     which the CPU they are running on is associated with.

     That allows for simple CPU based partitioning schemes.

  The main expected user sare:

   - Virtualization so a VM can only trash only the associated part of
     the cash w/o disturbing others

   - Real-Time systems to seperate RT and general workloads.

   - Latency sensitive enterprise workloads

   - In theory this also can be used to protect against cache side
     channel attacks"

[ Intel RDT is "Resource Director Technology". The interface really is
  rather odd and very specific, which delayed this pull request while I
  was thinking about it. The pull request itself came in early during
  the merge window, I just delayed it until things had calmed down and I
  had more time.

  But people tell me they'll use this, and the good news is that it is
  _so_ specific that it's rather independent of anything else, and no
  user is going to depend on the interface since it's pretty rare. So if
  push comes to shove, we can just remove the interface and nothing will
  break ]

Josh Poimboeuf 0ee1dd9f5e x86/dumpstack: Remove raw stack dump
For mostly historical reasons, the x86 oops dump shows the raw stack
values:

  ...
  [registers]
  Stack:
   ffff880079af7350 ffff880079905400 0000000000000000 ffffc900008f3ae0
   ffffffffa0196610 0000000000000001 00010000ffffffff 0000000087654321
   0000000000000002 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000
  Call Trace:
  ...

This seems to be an artifact from long ago, and probably isn't needed
anymore.  It generally just adds noise to the dump, and it can be
actively harmful because it leaks kernel addresses.

Linus says:

  "The stack dump actually goes back to forever, and it used to be
   useful back in 1992 or so. But it used to be useful mainly because
   stacks were simpler and we didn't have very good call traces anyway. I
   definitely remember having used them - I just do not remember having
   used them in the last ten+ years.

   Of course, it's still true that if you can trigger an oops, you've
   likely already lost the security game, but since the stack dump is so
   useless, let's aim to just remove it and make games like the above
   harder."

This also removes the related 'kstack=' cmdline option and the
'kstack_depth_to_print' sysctl.

Thomas Garnier 0483e1fa6e x86/mm: Implement ASLR for kernel memory regions
Randomizes the virtual address space of kernel memory regions for
x86_64. This first patch adds the infrastructure and does not randomize
any region. The following patches will randomize the physical memory
mapping, vmalloc and vmemmap regions.

This security feature mitigates exploits relying on predictable kernel
addresses. These addresses can be used to disclose the kernel modules
base addresses or corrupt specific structures to elevate privileges
bypassing the current implementation of KASLR. This feature can be
enabled with the CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY option.

The order of each memory region is not changed. The feature looks at the
available space for the regions based on different configuration options
and randomizes the base and space between each. The size of the physical
memory mapping is the available physical memory. No performance impact
was detected while testing the feature.

Entropy is generated using the KASLR early boot functions now shared in
the lib directory (originally written by Kees Cook). Randomization is
done on PGD & PUD page table levels to increase possible addresses. The
physical memory mapping code was adapted to support PUD level virtual
addresses. This implementation on the best configuration provides 30,000
possible virtual addresses in average for each memory region.  An
additional low memory page is used to ensure each CPU can start with a
PGD aligned virtual address (for realmode).

x86/dump_pagetable was updated to correctly display each region.

Updated documentation on x86_64 memory layout accordingly.

 "The main changes are:

   - Use separate EFI page tables when executing EFI firmware code.
     This isolates the EFI context from the rest of the kernel, which
     has security and general robustness advantages.  (Matt Fleming)

   - Run regular UEFI firmware with interrupts enabled.  This is already
     the status quo under other OSs.  (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - Various x86 EFI enhancements, such as the use of non-executable
     attributes for EFI memory mappings.  (Sai Praneeth Prakhya)

   - Various arm64 UEFI enhancements.  (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - ... various fixes and cleanups.

  The separate EFI page tables feature got delayed twice already,
  because it's an intrusive change and we didn't feel confident about
  it - third time's the charm we hope!"

Tony Luck 0f68c088c0 x86/cpufeature: Create a new synthetic cpu capability for machine check recovery
The Intel Software Developer Manual describes bit 24 in the MCG_CAP
MSR:

   MCG_SER_P (software error recovery support present) flag,
   bit 24 — Indicates (when set) that the processor supports
   software error recovery

But only some models with this capability bit set will actually
generate recoverable machine checks.

Check the model name and set a synthetic capability bit. Provide
a command line option to set this bit anyway in case the kernel
doesn't recognise the model name.

Tony Luck 548acf1923 x86/mm: Expand the exception table logic to allow new handling options
Huge amounts of help from  Andy Lutomirski and Borislav Petkov to
produce this. Andy provided the inspiration to add classes to the
exception table with a clever bit-squeezing trick, Boris pointed
out how much cleaner it would all be if we just had a new field.

Linus Torvalds blessed the expansion with:

  ' I'd rather not be clever in order to save just a tiny amount of space
    in the exception table, which isn't really criticial for anybody. '

The third field is another relative function pointer, this one to a
handler that executes the actions.

We start out with three handlers:

 1: Legacy - just jumps the to fixup IP
 2: Fault - provide the trap number in %ax to the fixup code
 3: Cleaned up legacy for the uaccess error hack

Linus Torvalds d70b3ef54c Merge branch 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
  in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
  so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
  collected into the 'x86/core' topic.

  The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
  bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
  but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
  dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
  end.

  The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
  have fewer dependencies).

  The main changes in this cycle were:

   * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
     Gleixner)

     - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
       interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
       domains:

          [IOAPIC domain]   -----
                                 |
          [MSI domain]      --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
                                 |   (optional)          |
          [HPET MSI domain] -----                        |
                                                         |
          [DMAR domain]     -----------------------------
                                                         |
          [Legacy domain]   -----------------------------

       This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
       the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
       can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping.  It's a clear
       separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
       constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
       and the vector management.

     - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
       injection into guests (Feng Wu)

   * x86/asm changes:

     - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations.  This
       is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
       code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
       Brian Gerst)

     - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
       arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)

     - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
       Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
       they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
       not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)

     - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/mm changes:

     - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
       preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
       in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
       Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)

     - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
       Write-Through cached memory mappings.  This is especially
       important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)

   * x86/ras changes:

     - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)

       This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
       poisoned data.  That means roughly that the hardware marks data
       which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
       poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
       form of a deferred error.  It is the OS's responsibility then to
       take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
       far as possible.

     - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
       CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
       wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)

     - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/platform changes:

     - Intel Atom SoC updates

  ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
  shortlog and the Git log for details"

Toshi Kani d838270e25 x86/mm, asm-generic: Add ioremap_wt() for creating Write-Through mappings
Add ioremap_wt() for creating Write-Through mappings on x86. It
follows the same model as ioremap_wc() for multi-arch support.
Define ARCH_HAS_IOREMAP_WT in the x86 version of io.h to
indicate that ioremap_wt() is implemented on x86.

Also update the PAT documentation file to cover ioremap_wt().

Luis R. Rodriguez 2f9e897353 x86/mm/mtrr, pat: Document Write Combining MTRR type effects on PAT / non-PAT pages
As part of the effort to phase out MTRR use document
write-combining MTRR effects on pages with different non-PAT
page attributes flags and different PAT entry values. Extend
arch_phys_wc_add() documentation to clarify power of two sizes /
boundary requirements as we phase out mtrr_add() use.

Lastly hint towards ioremap_uc() for corner cases on device
drivers working with devices with mixed regions where MTRR size
requirements would otherwise not enable write-combining
effective memory types.

The cmdline_size field in setup_header is listed as read-only, and is
never read by the kernel. Therefore, there is no need for it to be set
by a boot loader implementing the EFI handover protocol, so remove it
from the list of fields required to be set by a boot loader.

Commit:

  e2b32e6785 ("x86, kaslr: randomize module base load address")

made module base address randomization unconditional and didn't regard
disabled KKASLR due to CONFIG_HIBERNATION and command line option
"nokaslr". For more info see (now reverted) commit:

  f47233c2d3 ("x86/mm/ASLR: Propagate base load address calculation")

In order to propagate KASLR status to kernel proper, we need a single bit
in boot_params.hdr.loadflags and we've chosen bit 1 thus leaving the
top-down allocated bits for bits supposed to be used by the bootloader.

Andrey Ryabinin ef7f0d6a6c x86_64: add KASan support
This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer.

16TB of virtual addressed used for shadow memory.  It's located in range
[ffffec0000000000 - fffffc0000000000] between vmemmap and %esp fixup
stacks.

At early stage we map whole shadow region with zero page.  Latter, after
pages mapped to direct mapping address range we unmap zero pages from
corresponding shadow (see kasan_map_shadow()) and allocate and map a real
shadow memory reusing vmemmap_populate() function.

Also replace __pa with __pa_nodebug before shadow initialized.  __pa with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y make external function call (__phys_addr)
__phys_addr is instrumented, so __asan_load could be called before shadow
area initialized.

Andy Lutomirski 48e08d0fb2 x86, entry: Switch stacks on a paranoid entry from userspace
This causes all non-NMI, non-double-fault kernel entries from
userspace to run on the normal kernel stack.  Double-fault is
exempt to minimize confusion if we double-fault directly from
userspace due to a bad kernel stack.

This is, suprisingly, simpler and shorter than the current code.  It
removes the IMO rather frightening paranoid_userspace path, and it
make sync_regs much simpler.

There is no risk of stack overflow due to this change -- the kernel
stack that we switch to is empty.

This will also enable us to create non-atomic sections within
machine checks from userspace, which will simplify memory failure
handling.  It will also allow the upcoming fsgsbase code to be
simplified, because it doesn't need to worry about usergs when
scheduling in paranoid_exit, as that code no longer exists.

Dave Hansen 010e593b14 x86, mpx: Update documentation
I was writing some MPX test programs and realized that the
current design makes it tricky.  I did something like:

	bndcfgu |= bnd_dir | BNDCFGU_ENABLE;
	xrstor();
	printf("xrstor done");
	// #BR bounds exception here
	prctl(MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT);

and then compiled the app with "-fcheck-pointer-bounds -mmpx"
to enable MPX instrumentation.

The problem is that there is MPX instrumentation inserted in
to the area of the printf().  The kernel gets a bounds exception
and since management isn't yet enabled, it SIGSEGV's.

Add a bit to the documentation to explain a way around this and
where apps need to be careful.

	If we are flushing more pages than the ceiling, we use

H. Peter Anvin 3891a04aaf x86-64, espfix: Don't leak bits 31:16 of %esp returning to 16-bit stack
The IRET instruction, when returning to a 16-bit segment, only
restores the bottom 16 bits of the user space stack pointer.  This
causes some 16-bit software to break, but it also leaks kernel state
to user space.  We have a software workaround for that ("espfix") for
the 32-bit kernel, but it relies on a nonzero stack segment base which
is not available in 64-bit mode.

In checkin:

    b3b42ac2cb x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels

we "solved" this by forbidding 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels, with
the logic that 16-bit support is crippled on 64-bit kernels anyway (no
V86 support), but it turns out that people are doing stuff like
running old Win16 binaries under Wine and expect it to work.

This works around this by creating percpu "ministacks", each of which
is mapped 2^16 times 64K apart.  When we detect that the return SS is
on the LDT, we copy the IRET frame to the ministack and use the
relevant alias to return to userspace.  The ministacks are mapped
readonly, so if IRET faults we promote #GP to #DF which is an IST
vector and thus has its own stack; we then do the fixup in the #DF
handler.

(Making #GP an IST exception would make the msr_safe functions unsafe
in NMI/MC context, and quite possibly have other effects.)

Special thanks to:

- Andy Lutomirski, for the suggestion of using very small stack slots
  and copy (as opposed to map) the IRET frame there, and for the
  suggestion to mark them readonly and let the fault promote to #DF.
- Konrad Wilk for paravirt fixup and testing.
- Borislav Petkov for testing help and useful comments.
