The code to fetch a 64-bit value from user space was entirely buggered,
and has been since the code was merged in early 2016 in commit
b2f680380ddf ("x86/mm/32: Add support for 64-bit __get_user() on 32-bit
kernels").
Happily the buggered routine is almost certainly entirely unused, since
the normal way to access user space memory is just with the non-inlined
"get_user()", and the inlined version didn't even historically exist.
The normal "get_user()" case is handled by external hand-written asm in
arch/x86/lib/getuser.S that doesn't have either of these issues.
There were two independent bugs in __get_user_asm_u64():
- it still did the STAC/CLAC user space access marking, even though
that is now done by the wrapper macros, see commit 11f1a4b9755f
("x86: reorganize SMAP handling in user space accesses").
This didn't result in a semantic error, it just means that the
inlined optimized version was hugely less efficient than the
allegedly slower standard version, since the CLAC/STAC overhead is
quite high on modern Intel CPU's.
- the double register %eax/%edx was marked as an output, but the %eax
part of it was touched early in the asm, and could thus clobber other
inputs to the asm that gcc didn't expect it to touch.
In particular, that meant that the generated code could look like
this:
mov (%eax),%eax
mov 0x4(%eax),%edx
where the load of %edx obviously was _supposed_ to be from the 32-bit
word that followed the source of %eax, but because %eax was
overwritten by the first instruction, the source of %edx was
basically random garbage.
The fixes are trivial: remove the extraneous STAC/CLAC entries, and mark
the 64-bit output as early-clobber to let gcc know that no inputs should
alias with the output register.

Al noticed that unsafe_put_user() had type problems, and fixed them in
commit a7cc722fff0b ("fix unsafe_put_user()"), which made me look more
at those functions.
It turns out that unsafe_get_user() had a type issue too: it limited the
largest size of the type it could handle to "unsigned long". Which is
fine with the current users, but doesn't match our existing normal
get_user() semantics, which can also handle "u64" even when that does
not fit in a long.
While at it, also clean up the type cast in unsafe_put_user(). We
actually want to just make it an assignment to the expected type of the
pointer, because we actually do want warnings from types that don't
convert silently. And it makes the code more readable by not having
that one very long and complex line.
[ This patch might become stable material if we ever end up back-porting
any new users of the unsafe uaccess code, but as things stand now this
doesn't matter for any current existing uses. ]

In some fio benchmarks, halt_poll_ns=400000 caused CPU utilization to
increase heavily even in cases where the performance improvement was
small. In particular, bandwidth divided by CPU usage was as much as
60% lower.
To some extent this is the expected effect of the patch, and the
additional CPU utilization is only visible when running the
benchmarks. However, halving the threshold also halves the extra
CPU utilization (from +30-130% to +20-70%) and has no negative
effect on performance.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"Incremental fixes and a small feature addition on top of the main
libnvdimm 4.12 pull request:
- Geert noticed that tinyconfig was bloated by BLOCK selecting DAX.
The size regression is fixed by moving all dax helpers into the
dax-core and only specifying "select DAX" for FS_DAX and
dax-capable drivers. He also asked for clarification of the
NR_DEV_DAX config option which, on closer look, does not need to be
a config option at all. Mike also throws in a DEV_DAX_PMEM fixup
for good measure.
- Ben's attention to detail on -stable patch submissions caught a
case where the recent fixes to arch_copy_from_iter_pmem() missed a
condition where we strand dirty data in the cache. This is tagged
for -stable and will also be included in the rework of the pmem api
to a proposed {memcpy,copy_user}_flushcache() interface for 4.13.
- Vishal adds a feature that missed the initial pull due to pending
review feedback. It allows the kernel to clear media errors when
initializing a BTT (atomic sector update driver) instance on a pmem
namespace.
- Ross noticed that the dax_device + dax_operations conversion broke
__dax_zero_page_range(). The nvdimm unit tests fail to check this
path, but xfstests immediately trips over it. No excuse for missing
this before submitting the 4.12 pull request.
These all pass the nvdimm unit tests and an xfstests spot check. The

Regularly, when a new header is created in include/uapi/, the developer
forgets to add it in the corresponding Kbuild file. This error is usually
detected after the release is out.

Commit 11e63f6d920d added cache flushing for unaligned writes from an
iovec, covering the first and last cache line of a >= 8 byte write and
the first cache line of a < 8 byte write. But an unaligned write of
2-7 bytes can still cover two cache lines, so make sure we flush both
in that case.

Patch series "set_memory_* functions header refactor", v3.
The set_memory_* APIs came out of a desire to have a better way to
change memory attributes. Many of these attributes were linked to cache
functionality so the prototypes were put in cacheflush.h. These days,
the APIs have grown and have a much wider use than just cache APIs. To
support this growth, split off set_memory_* and friends into a separate
header file to avoid growing cacheflush.h for APIs that have nothing to
do with caches.

Kernel identity mappings on x86-64 kernels are created in two
ways: by the early x86 boot code, or by kernel_ident_mapping_init().
Native kernels (which is the dominant usecase) use the former,
but the kexec and the hibernation code uses kernel_ident_mapping_init().
There's a subtle difference between these two ways of how identity
mappings are created, the current kernel_ident_mapping_init() code
creates identity mappings always using 2MB page(PMD level) - while
the native kernel boot path also utilizes gbpages where available.
This difference is suboptimal both for performance and for memory
usage: kernel_ident_mapping_init() needs to allocate pages for the
page tables when creating the new identity mappings.
This patch adds 1GB page(PUD level) support to kernel_ident_mapping_init()
to address these concerns.
The primary advantage would be better TLB coverage/performance,
because we'd utilize 1GB TLBs instead of 2MB ones.
It is also useful for machines with large number of memory to
save paging structure allocations(around 4MB/TB using 2MB page)
when setting identity mappings for all the memory, after using
1GB page it will consume only 8KB/TB.
( Note that this change alone does not activate gbpages in kexec,
we are doing that in a separate patch. )

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few
late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last
couple days, but the whole set has received a build success
notification from the kbuild robot.
Change summary:
- Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the
parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been
reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block
devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that
namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new
interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of
namespace modes or state.
This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1
Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error"
requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus
devices.
- Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted
by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for
dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations.
This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are
related to a persistent memory device, and makes it easier for
other architectures and platforms to add customized persistent
memory support.
- 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger
memory controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would
otherwise be flushed automatically by the platform ADR
(asynchronous-DRAM-refresh) mechanism at a power loss event.
Support for "locked" DIMMs is included to prevent namespaces from
surfacing when the namespace label data area is locked. Finally,
fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes, also tagged for
-stable.
- ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to
add DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM
payload debug available by default, and various fixes.

incompatibility
The constraint "rm" allows the compiler to put mix_const into memory.
When the input operand is a memory location then MUL needs an operand
size suffix, since Clang can't infer the multiplication width from the
operand.
Add and use the _ASM_MUL macro which determines the operand size and
resolves to the NUL instruction with the corresponding suffix.
This fixes the following error when building with clang:
CC arch/x86/lib/kaslr.o
/tmp/kaslr-dfe1ad.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/kaslr-dfe1ad.s:182: Error: no instruction mnemonic suffix given and no register operands; can't size instruction

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching
Pull livepatch updates from Jiri Kosina:
- a per-task consistency model is being added for architectures that
support reliable stack dumping (extending this, currently rather
trivial set, is currently in the works).
This extends the nature of the types of patches that can be applied
by live patching infrastructure. The code stems from the design
proposal made [1] back in November 2014. It's a hybrid of SUSE's
kGraft and RH's kpatch, combining advantages of both: it uses
kGraft's per-task consistency and syscall barrier switching combined
with kpatch's stack trace switching. There are also a number of
fallback options which make it quite flexible.
Most of the heavy lifting done by Josh Poimboeuf with help from
Miroslav Benes and Petr Mladek

We needed the lock to avoid racing with creation of the irqchip on x86. As
kvm_set_irq_routing() calls srcu_synchronize_expedited(), this lock
might be held for a longer time.
Let's introduce an arch specific callback to check if we can actually
add irq routes. For x86, all we have to do is check if we have an
irqchip in the kernel. We don't need kvm->lock at that point as the
irqchip is marked as inititalized only when actually fully created.

Recent discussion (http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=149192184523741)
established that commit 72a9b186292d ("xen: Remove event channel
notification through Xen PCI platform device") (and thus commit
da72ff5bfcb0 ("partially revert "xen: Remove event channel
notification through Xen PCI platform device"")) are unnecessary and,
in fact, prevent HVM guests from booting on Xen releases prior to 4.0
Therefore we revert both of those commits.
The summary of that discussion is below:
Here is the brief summary of the current situation:
Before the offending commit (72a9b186292):
1) INTx does not work because of the reset_watches path.
2) The reset_watches path is only taken if you have Xen > 4.0
3) The Linux Kernel by default will use vector inject if the hypervisor
support. So even INTx does not work no body running the kernel with
Xen > 4.0 would notice. Unless he explicitly disabled this feature
either in the kernel or in Xen (and this can only be disabled by
modifying the code, not user-supported way to do it).
After the offending commit (+ partial revert):
1) INTx is no longer support for HVM (only for PV guests).
2) Any HVM guest The kernel will not boot on Xen < 4.0 which does
not have vector injection support. Since the only other mode
supported is INTx which.
So based on this summary, I think before commit (72a9b186292) we were
in much better position from a user point of view.
