Pull STIBP fallout fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"The performance destruction department finally got it's act together
and came up with a cure for the STIPB regression:
- Provide a command line option to control the spectre v2 user space
mitigations. Default is either seccomp or prctl (if seccomp is
disabled in Kconfig). prctl allows mitigation opt-in, seccomp
enables the migitation for sandboxed processes.
- Rework the code to handle the conditional STIBP/IBPB control and
remove the now unused ptrace_may_access_sched() optimization
attempt
- Disable STIBP automatically when SMT is disabled
- Optimize the switch_to() logic to avoid MSR writes and invocations
of __switch_to_xtra().
- Make the asynchronous speculation TIF updates synchronous to
prevent stale mitigation state.
As a general cleanup this also makes retpoline directly depend on
compiler support and removes the 'minimal retpoline' option which just
pretended to provide some form of security while providing none"

While introducing the DSA tagging protocol attribute, it was added to the DSA
slave network devices, but those actually see untagged traffic (that is their
whole purpose). Correct this mistake by putting the tagging sysfs attribute
under the DSA master network device where this is the information that we need.
While at it, also correct the sysfs documentation mistake that missed the
"dsa/" directory component of the attribute.

Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit
shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like
users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others.
With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set
from the commandline, this is a challenge. Do the following things to
make it easier:
1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros
to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled
unless a user requests it at boot-time.
To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=.
2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs
when the feature is disabled.
In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says:
: The following is a comparision using CONFIG_PSI=n as a baseline against
: your patch and a vanilla kernel

On the affected Cortex-A76 cores (r0p0 to r3p0), if a virtual address
for a cacheable mapping of a location is being accessed by a core while
another core is remapping the virtual address to a new physical page
using the recommended break-before-make sequence, then under very rare
circumstances TLBI+DSB completes before a read using the translation
being invalidated has been observed by other observers. The workaround
repeats the TLBI+DSB operation and is shared with the Qualcomm Falkor

If 'prctl' mode of user space protection from spectre v2 is selected
on the kernel command-line, STIBP and IBPB are applied on tasks which
restrict their indirect branch speculation via prctl.
SECCOMP enables the SSBD mitigation for sandboxed tasks already, so it
makes sense to prevent spectre v2 user space to user space attacks as
well.
The Intel mitigation guide documents how STIPB works:
Setting bit 1 (STIBP) of the IA32_SPEC_CTRL MSR on a logical processor
prevents the predicted targets of indirect branches on any logical
processor of that core from being controlled by software that executes
(or executed previously) on another logical processor of the same core.
Ergo setting STIBP protects the task itself from being attacked from a task
running on a different hyper-thread and protects the tasks running on
different hyper-threads from being attacked.
While the document suggests that the branch predictors are shielded between
the logical processors, the observed performance regressions suggest that
STIBP simply disables the branch predictor more or less completely. Of
course the document wording is vague, but the fact that there is also no
requirement for issuing IBPB when STIBP is used points clearly in that
direction. The kernel still issues IBPB even when STIBP is used until Intel
clarifies the whole mechanism.
IBPB is issued when the task switches out, so malicious sandbox code cannot
mistrain the branch predictor for the next user space task on the same
logical processor.

- At init update the static key which controls the conditional IBPB
evaluation on context switch.

Add command line control for user space indirect branch speculation
mitigations. The new option is: spectre_v2_user=
The initial options are:
- on: Unconditionally enabled
- off: Unconditionally disabled
-auto: Kernel selects mitigation (default off for now)
When the spectre_v2= command line argument is either 'on' or 'off' this
implies that the application to application control follows that state even
if a contradicting spectre_v2_user= argument is supplied.

Right now, it mentions two SPDX headers that don't exist inside the Kernel:
GFDL-1.1-or-later
And an exception:
no-invariant-sections
While it would be trivial to add the first one, there's no way,
currently, to distinguish, with SPDX, between a free and a non-free
document under GFDL.
Free documents with GFDL should not have invariant sections.
There's an open issue at SPDX tree waiting for it to be solved.
While we don't have this issue closed, let's just replace by a
free-text license, and add a TODO note to remind us to revisit it
later.

predated the XArray conversion). There were a couple of bugs in some
of the higher-level functions, which aren't actually being called in

tree & IDR users over to the XArray.
Some of the other changes to how the higher-level APIs work were also
motivated by converting various users; again, they're not in use in
today's kernel, so changing them has a low probability of introducing
a bug.

This reverts commit aaf9978c3c0291ef3beaa97610bc9c3084656a85.
Quoting Peter:
There is a HID feature report called "Resolution Multiplier"
Described in the "Enhanced Wheel Support in Windows" doc and
the "USB HID Usage Tables" page 30.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/d/1/bd1f7ef4-7d72-419e-bc5c-9f79ad7bb66e/wheel.docx
https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/documents/hut1_12v2.pdf
This was new for Windows Vista, so we're only a decade behind here. I only
accidentally found this a few days ago while debugging a stuck button on a
Microsoft mouse.
The docs above describe it like this: a wheel control by default sends
value 1 per notch. If the resolution multiplier is active, the wheel is
expected to send a value of $multiplier per notch (e.g. MS Sculpt mouse) or
just send events more often, i.e. for less physical motion (e.g. MS Comfort
mouse).
For the latter, you need the right HW of course. The Sculpt mouse has
tactile wheel clicks, so nothing really changes. The Comfort mouse has
continuous motion with no tactile clicks. Similar to the free-wheeling
Logitech mice but without any inertia.
Note that the doc also says that Vista and onwards *always* enable this
feature where available.
An example HID definition looks like this:
Usage Page Generic Desktop (0x01)
Usage Resolution Multiplier (0x48)
Logical Minimum 0
Logical Maximum 1
Physical Minimum 1
Physical Maximum 16
Report Size 2 # in bits
Report Count 1
Feature (Data, Var, Abs)
So the actual bits have values 0 or 1 and that reflects real values 1 or 16.
We've only seen single-bits so far, so there's low-res and hi-res, but
nothing in between.
The multiplier is available for HID usages "Wheel" and "AC Pan" (horiz wheel).
Microsoft suggests that
> Vendors should ship their devices with smooth scrolling disabled and allow
> Windows to enable it. This ensures that the device works like a regular HID
> device on legacy operating systems that do not support smooth scrolling.
(see the wheel doc linked above)
The mice that we tested so far do reset on unplug.
Device Support looks to be all (?) Microsoft mice but nothing else
Not supported:
- Logitech G500s, G303
- Roccat Kone XTD
- all the cheap Lenovo, HP, Dell, Logitech USB mice that come with a
workstation that I could find don't have it.
- Etekcity something something
- Razer Imperator
Supported:
- Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 - yes, physical: 1:4
- Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse - yes, physical: 1:12
- Microsoft Surface mouse - yes, physical: 1:4
So again, I think this is really just available on Microsoft mice, but
probably all decent MS mice released over the last decade.
Looking at the hardware itself:
- no noticeable notches in the weel
- low-res: 18 events per 360deg rotation (click angle 20 deg)
- high-res: 72 events per 360deg → matches multiplier of 4
- I can feel the notches during wheel turns
- low-res: 24 events per 360 deg rotation (click angle 15 deg)
- horiz wheel is tilt-based, continuous output value 1
- high-res: 24 events per 360deg with value 12 → matches multiplier of 12
- horiz wheel output rate doubles/triples?, values is 3
- It's a touch strip, not a wheel so no notches
- high-res: events have value 4 instead of 1
a bit strange given that it doesn't actually have notches.
Ok, why is this an issue for the current API? First, because the logitech
multiplier used in Harry's patches looks suspiciously like the Resolution
Multiplier so I think we should assume it's the same thing. Nestor, can you
shed some light on that?
- `REL_WHEEL` is defined as the number of notches, emulated where needed.
- `REL_WHEEL_HI_RES` is the movement of the user's finger in microns.
- `WM_MOUSEWHEEL` (Windows) is is a multiple of 120, defined as "the threshold
for action to be taken and one such action"
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/inputdev/wm-mousewheel
If the multiplier is set to M, this means we need an accumulated value of M
until we can claim there was a wheel click. So after enabling the multiplier
and setting it to the maximum (like Windows):
- M units are 15deg rotation → 1 unit is 2620/M micron (see below). This is
the `REL_WHEEL_HI_RES` value.
- wheel diameter 20mm: 15 deg rotation is 2.62mm, 2620 micron (pi * 20mm /
(360deg/15deg))
- For every M units accumulated, send one `REL_WHEEL` event
The problem here is that we've now hardcoded 20mm/15 deg into the kernel and
we have no way of getting the size of the wheel or the click angle into the
kernel.
In userspace we now have to undo the kernel's calculation. If our click angle
is e.g. 20 degree we have to undo the (lossy) calculation from the kernel and
calculate the correct angle instead. This also means the 15 is a hardcoded
option forever and cannot be changed.
In hid-logitech-hidpp.c, the microns per unit is hardcoded per device.
Harry, did you measure those by hand? We'd need to update the kernel for
every device and there are 10 years worth of devices from MS alone.
The multiplier default is 8 which is in the right ballpark, so I'm pretty
sure this is the same as the Resolution Multiplier, just in HID++ lingo. And
given that the 120 magic factor is what Windows uses in the end, I can't
imagine Logitech rolling their own thing here. Nestor?
And we're already fairly inaccurate with the microns anyway. The MX Anywhere
2S has a click angle of 20 degrees (18 stops) and a 17mm wheel, so a wheel
notch is approximately 2.67mm, one event at multiplier 8 (1/8 of a notch)
would be 334 micron. That's only 80% of the fallback value of 406 in the
kernel. Multiplier 6 gives us 445micron (10% off). I'm assuming multiplier 7
doesn't exist because it's not a factor of 120.
Summary:
Best option may be to simply do what Windows is doing, all the HW manufacturers
have to use that approach after all. Switch `REL_WHEEL_HI_RES` to report in
fractions of 120, with 120 being one notch and divide that by the multiplier
for the actual events. So e.g. the Logitech multiplier 8 would send value 15
for each event in hi-res mode. This can be converted in userspace to
whatever userspace needs (combined with a hwdb there that tells you wheel
size/click angle/...).

Add a generic clk property for clks which are not intended to be used by
the OS due to security restrictions put in place by firmware. For
example, on some Qualcomm firmwares reading or writing certain clk
registers causes the entire system to reboot, but on other firmwares
reading and writing those same registers is required to make devices
like QSPI work. Rather than adding one-off properties each time a new
set of clks appears to be protected, let's add a generic clk property to
describe any set of clks that shouldn't be touched by the OS. This way
we never need to register the clks or use them in certain firmware
configurations.

Rework the 'disable_counter_freezing' __setup() parameter such that we
can explicitly enable/disable it and switch to default disabled.
To this purpose, rename the parameter to "perf_v4_pmi=" which is a much
better description and allows requiring a bool argument.

At the request of the reporter, the Linux kernel security team offers to
postpone the publishing of a fix for up to 5 business days from the date
of a report.
While it is generally undesirable to keep a fix private after it has
been developed, this short window is intended to allow distributions to
package the fix into their kernel builds and permits early inclusion of
the security team in the case of a co-ordinated disclosure with other
parties. Unfortunately, discussions with major Linux distributions and
cloud providers has revealed that 5 business days is not sufficient to
achieve either of these two goals.
As an example, cloud providers need to roll out KVM security fixes to a
global fleet of hosts with sufficient early ramp-up and monitoring. An
end-to-end timeline of less than two weeks dramatically cuts into the
amount of early validation and increases the chance of guest-visible
regressions.
The consequence of this timeline mismatch is that security issues are
commonly fixed without the involvement of the Linux kernel security team
and are instead analysed and addressed by an ad-hoc group of developers
