Commit 7c30f352c852 ("jiffies.h: declare jiffies and jiffies_64 with
____cacheline_aligned_in_smp") removed a section specification from the
jiffies declaration that caused conflicts on some platforms.
Unfortunately this change broke the build for frv:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `__do_softirq': (.text+0x6460): relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol
`jiffies' defined in *ABS* section in .tmp_vmlinux1
kernel/built-in.o: In function `__do_softirq': (.text+0x6574): relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol
`jiffies' defined in *ABS* section in .tmp_vmlinux1
kernel/built-in.o: In function `pwq_activate_delayed_work': workqueue.c:(.text+0x15b9c): relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against
symbol `jiffies' defined in *ABS* section in .tmp_vmlinux1
...
Add __jiffy_arch_data to the declaration of jiffies and use it on frv to
include the section specification. For all other platforms
__jiffy_arch_data (currently) has no effect.

The BAD_MADT_GICC_ENTRY() macro checks if a GICC MADT entry passes
muster from an ACPI specification standpoint. Current macro detects the
MADT GICC entry length through ACPI firmware version (it changed from 76
to 80 bytes in the transition from ACPI 5.1 to ACPI 6.0 specification)
but always uses (erroneously) the ACPICA (latest) struct (ie struct
acpi_madt_generic_interrupt - that is 80-bytes long) length to check if
the current GICC entry memory record exceeds the MADT table end in
memory as defined by the MADT table header itself, which may result in
false negatives depending on the ACPI firmware version and how the MADT
entries are laid out in memory (ie on ACPI 5.1 firmware MADT GICC
entries are 76 bytes long, so by adding 80 to a GICC entry start address
in memory the resulting address may well be past the actual MADT end,
triggering a false negative).
Fix the BAD_MADT_GICC_ENTRY() macro by reshuffling the condition checks
and update them to always use the firmware version specific MADT GICC
entry length in order to carry out boundary checks.

When spin_lock_irqsave() deadlock occurs inside the guest, vcpu threads,
other than the lock-holding one, would enter into S state because of
pvspinlock. Then inject NMI via libvirt API "inject-nmi", the NMI could
not be injected into vm.
The reason is:
1 It sets nmi_queued to 1 when calling ioctl KVM_NMI in qemu, and sets
cpu->kvm_vcpu_dirty to true in do_inject_external_nmi() meanwhile.
2 It sets nmi_queued to 0 in process_nmi(), before entering guest, because
cpu->kvm_vcpu_dirty is true.
It's not enough just to check nmi_queued to decide whether to stay in
vcpu_block() or not. NMI should be injected immediately at any situation.
Add checking nmi_pending, and testing KVM_REQ_NMI replaces nmi_queued
in vm_vcpu_has_events().
Do the same change for SMIs.

present
This is a fix for the problem [1], where VMCB.CPL was set to 0 and interrupt
was taken on userspace stack. The root cause lies in the specific AMD CPU
behaviour which manifests itself as unusable segment attributes on SYSRET.
The corresponding work around for the kernel is the following:
61f01dd941ba ("x86_64, asm: Work around AMD SYSRET SS descriptor attribute issue")
In other turn virtualization side treated unusable segment incorrectly and
restored CPL from SS attributes, which were zeroed out few lines above.
In current patch it is assured only that P bit is cleared in VMCB.save state
and segment attributes are not zeroed out if segment is not presented or is
unusable, therefore CPL can be safely restored from DPL field.
This is only one part of the fix, since QEMU side should be fixed accordingly
not to zero out attributes on its side. Corresponding patch will follow.

Commit 19bca6ab75d8 ("KVM: SVM: Fix cross vendor migration issue with
unusable bit") added checking type when setting unusable.
So unusable can be set if present is 0 OR type is 0.
According to the AMD processor manual, long mode ignores the type value
in segment descriptor. And type can be 0 if it is read-only data segment.
Therefore type value is not related to unusable flag.
This patch is based on linux-next v4.12.0-rc3.

kvm_skip_emulated_instruction() will return 0 if userspace is
single-stepping the guest.
kvm_skip_emulated_instruction() uses return status convention of exit
handler: 0 means "exit to userspace" and 1 means "continue vm entries".
The problem is that nested_vmx_check_vmptr() return status means
something else: 0 is ok, 1 is error.
This means we would continue executing after a failure. Static checker
noticed it because vmptr was not initialized.

This fixes a regression in commit 4d6501dce079 where I didn't notice
that MIPS and OpenRISC were reinitialising p->{set,clear}_child_tid to
NULL after our initialisation in copy_process().
We can simply get rid of the arch-specific initialisation here since it
is now always done in copy_process() before hitting copy_thread{,_tls}().
Review notes:
- As far as I can tell, copy_process() is the only user of
copy_thread_tls(), which is the only caller of copy_thread() for
architectures that don't implement copy_thread_tls().
- After this patch, there is no arch-specific code touching
p->set_child_tid or p->clear_child_tid whatsoever.
- It may look like MIPS/OpenRISC wanted to always have these fields be
NULL, but that's not true, as copy_process() would unconditionally
set them again _after_ calling copy_thread_tls() before commit
4d6501dce079.

preemptibility bug
With CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled, I get:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1
caller is debug_smp_processor_id
CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.12.0-rc2+ #2
Call Trace:
dump_stack
check_preemption_disabled
debug_smp_processor_id
save_microcode_in_initrd_amd
? microcode_init
save_microcode_in_initrd
...
because, well, it says it above, we're using smp_processor_id() in
preemptible code.
But passing the CPU number is not really needed. It is only used to
determine whether we're on the BSP, and, if so, to save the microcode
patch for early loading.
[ We don't absolutely need to do it on the BSP but we do that
customarily there. ]
Instead, convert that function parameter to a boolean which denotes
whether the patch should be saved or not, thereby avoiding the use of
smp_processor_id() in preemptible code.

For EFI with the 'efi=old_map' kernel option specified, the kernel will panic
when KASLR is enabled:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 000000007febd57e
IP: 0x7febd57e
PGD 1025a067
PUD 0
Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP
Call Trace:
efi_enter_virtual_mode()
start_kernel()
x86_64_start_reservations()
x86_64_start_kernel()
start_cpu()
The root cause is that the identity mapping is not built correctly
in the 'efi=old_map' case.
On 'nokaslr' kernels, PAGE_OFFSET is 0xffff880000000000 which is PGDIR_SIZE
aligned. We can borrow the PUD table from the direct mappings safely. Given a
physical address X, we have pud_index(X) == pud_index(__va(X)).
However, on KASLR kernels, PAGE_OFFSET is PUD_SIZE aligned. For a given physical
address X, pud_index(X) != pud_index(__va(X)). We can't just copy the PGD entry
from direct mapping to build identity mapping, instead we need to copy the
PUD entries one by one from the direct mapping.
Fix it.

else is mapped at the virtual address we allocated for runtime service
regions in the initial boot - Matt Fleming ]

ftrace use module_alloc() to allocate trampoline pages. The mapping of
module_alloc() is RWX, which makes sense as the memory is written to right
after allocation. But nothing makes these pages RO after writing to them.
Add proper set_memory_rw/ro() calls to protect the trampolines after
modification.

Interrupts should not be enabled at this early in the boot process. It is
also fine to leave interrupts enabled during this time as there's only one
CPU running, and on_each_cpu() means to only run on the current CPU.
If early_boot_irqs_disabled is set, it is safe to run cpu_flush_range() with
interrupts disabled. Don't trigger a BUG_ON() in that case.

Intel SDM says, that at most one LAPIC should be configured with ExtINT
delivery. KVM configures all LAPICs this way. This causes pic_unlock()
to kick the first available vCPU from the internal KVM data structures.
If this vCPU is not the BSP, but some not-yet-booted AP, the BSP may
never realize that there is an interrupt.
Fix that by enabling ExtINT delivery only for the BSP.
This allows booting a Linux guest without a TSC in the above situation.
Otherwise the BSP gets stuck in calibrate_delay_converge().

The decision whether or not to exit from L2 to L1 on an lmsw instruction is
based on bogus values: instead of using the information encoded within the
exit qualification, it uses the data also used for the mov-to-cr
instruction, which boils down to using whatever is in %eax at that point.
Use the correct values instead.
Without this fix, an L1 may not get notified when a 32-bit Linux L2
switches its secondary CPUs to protected mode; the L1 is only notified on
the next modification of CR0. This short time window poses a problem, when
there is some other reason to exit to L1 in between. Then, L2 will be
resumed in real mode and chaos ensues.

Currently if you disable CONFIG_PPC_RADIX_MMU you'll crash on boot on
a P9. This is because we still set MMU_FTR_TYPE_RADIX via
ibm,pa-features and MMU_FTR_TYPE_RADIX is what's used for code patching
in much of the asm code (ie. slb_miss_realmode)
This patch fixes the problem by stopping MMU_FTR_TYPE_RADIX from being
set from ibm.pa-features.
We may eventually end up removing the CONFIG_PPC_RADIX_MMU option
completely but until then this fixes the issue.

In the current form of the code, if a->replacementlen is 0, the reference
to *insnbuf for comparison touches potentially garbage memory. While it
doesn't affect the execution flow due to the subsequent a->replacementlen
comparison, it is (rightly) detected as use of uninitialized memory by a
runtime instrumentation currently under my development, and could be
detected as such by other tools in the future, too (e.g. KMSAN).
Fix the "false-positive" by reordering the conditions to first check the
replacement instruction length before referencing specific opcode bytes.

In the file arch/x86/mm/pat.c, there's a '__pat_enabled' variable. The
variable is set to 1 by default and the function pat_init() sets
__pat_enabled to 0 if the CPU doesn't support PAT.
However, on AMD K6-3 CPUs, the processor initialization code never calls
pat_init() and so __pat_enabled stays 1 and the function pat_enabled()
returns true, even though the K6-3 CPU doesn't support PAT.
The result of this bug is that a kernel warning is produced when attempting to
start the Xserver and the Xserver doesn't start (fork() returns ENOMEM).
Another symptom of this bug is that the framebuffer driver doesn't set the
K6-3 MTRR registers:
x86/PAT: Xorg:3891 map pfn expected mapping type uncached-minus for [mem 0xe4000000-0xe5ffffff], got write-combining

To fix the bug change pat_enabled() so that it returns true only if PAT
initialization was actually done.
Also, I changed boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PAT) to
this_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PAT) in pat_ap_init(), so that we check the PAT
feature on the processor that is being initialized.

Dave Jones and Steven Rostedt reported unwinder warnings like the
following:
WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at ffff8800bda0ff30 in sshd:1090 has bad value 000055b32abf1fa8
In both cases, the unwinder was attempting to unwind from an ftrace
handler into entry code. The callchain was something like:
syscall entry code
C function
ftrace handler
save_stack_trace()
The problem is that the unwinder's end-of-stack logic gets confused by
the way ftrace lays out the stack frame (with fentry enabled).
I was able to recreate this warning with:
echo call_usermodehelper_exec_async:stacktrace > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
(exit login session)
I considered fixing this by changing the ftrace code to rewrite the
stack to make the unwinder happy. But that seemed too intrusive after I
implemented it. Instead, just add another check to the unwinder's
end-of-stack logic to detect this special case.
Side note: We could probably get rid of these end-of-stack checks by
encoding the frame pointer for syscall entry just like we do for
interrupt entry. That would be simpler, but it would also be a lot more
intrusive since it would slightly affect the performance of every
syscall.

That warning means the end of the stack is no longer recognized as such
for newly forked tasks. The problem was introduced with the following
commit:
ff3f7e2475bb ("x86/entry: Fix the end of the stack for newly forked tasks")
... which was completely misguided. It only partially fixed the
reported issue, and it introduced another bug in the process. None of
the other entry code saves the frame pointer before calling into C code,
so it doesn't make sense for ret_from_fork to do so either.
Contrary to what I originally thought, the original issue wasn't related
to newly forked tasks. It was actually related to ftrace. When entry
code calls into a function which then calls into an ftrace handler, the
stack frame looks different than normal.
The original issue will be fixed in the unwinder, in a subsequent patch.

The description of the connection between the dwmmc (SDIO) controller and
the Wifi chip, which is attached to the SDIO bus is wrong. Currently the
SDIO card can't be detected and thus the Wifi doesn't work.
Let's fix this by assigning the correct vmmc supply, which is the always on
regulator VDD_3V3 and remove the WLAN enable regulator altogether. Then to
properly deal with the power on/off sequence, add a mmc-pwrseq node to
describe the resources needed to detect the SDIO card.
Except for the WLAN enable GPIO and its corresponding assert/de-assert
delays, the mmc-pwrseq node also contains a handle to a clock provided by
the hi655x pmic. This clock is also needed to be able to turn on the WiFi
chip.

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 th |
