As we alloc pages with GFP_KERNEL in init_espfix_ap() which is called before we enable local irqs, so the lockdep sub-system would (correctly) trigger a warning about the potentially blocking API. So we allocate them on the boot CPU side when the secondary CPU is brought up by the boot CPU, and hand them over to the secondary CPU. And we use alloc_pages_node() with the secondary CPU's node, to make sure the espfix stack is NUMA-local to the CPU that is going to use it.

Add a CPU index parameter to init_espfix_ap(), so that the parameter could be propagated to the function for espfix page allocation.

Previous versions of the espfix had a single function which did setup the pagetables. It was later split into BSP and AP version. Drop unused leftovers after that split. Signed-off-by: NBorislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

init_espfix_ap() is currently off by one level when informing hypervisor that allocated pages will be used for ministacks' page tables. The most immediate effect of this on a PV guest is that if 'stack_page = __get_free_page()' returns a non-zeroed-out page the hypervisor will refuse to use it for a page table (which it shouldn't be anyway). This will result in warnings by both Xen and Linux. More importantly, a subsequent write to that page (again, by a PV guest) is likely to result in fatal page fault.

Sparse warns that the percpu variables aren't declared before they are defined. Rather than hacking around it, move espfix definitions into a proper header file. Reported-by: NFengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>

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: b3b42ac2 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.
