      Now that the SYSENTER stack has a guard page, there's no need for a canary
      to detect overflow after the fact.

      x86/entry/64: Separate cpu_current_top_of_stack from TSS.sp0 · 9aaefe7b
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      On 64-bit kernels, we used to assume that TSS.sp0 was the current
      top of stack.  With the addition of an entry trampoline, this will
      no longer be the case.  Store the current top of stack in TSS.sp1,
      which is otherwise unused but shares the same cacheline.

      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      SYSENTER_stack should have reliable overflow detection, which
      means that it needs to be at the bottom of a page, not the top.
      Move it to the beginning of struct tss_struct and page-align it.
      
      Also add an assertion to make sure that the fixed hardware TSS

      x86/entry/64: Allocate and enable the SYSENTER stack · 1a79797b
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      This will simplify future changes that want scratch variables early in
      the SYSENTER handler -- they'll be able to spill registers to the
      stack.  It also lets us get rid of a SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK user.
      
      This does not depend on CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y because we'll want the
      stack space even without IA32 emulation.
      
      As far as I can tell, the reason that this wasn't done from day 1 is
      that we use IST for #DB and #BP, which is IMO rather nasty and causes
      a lot more problems than it solves.  But, since #DB uses IST, we don't
      actually need a real stack for SYSENTER (because SYSENTER with TF set
      will invoke #DB on the IST stack rather than the SYSENTER stack).
      
      I want to remove IST usage from these vectors some day, and this patch
      is a prerequisite for that as well.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for Clang · f5caf621
      Josh Poimboeuf 提交于
      For inline asm statements which have a CALL instruction, we list the
      stack pointer as a constraint to convince GCC to ensure the frame
      pointer is set up first:
      
        static inline void foo()
        {
      	register void *__sp asm(_ASM_SP);
      	asm("call bar" : "+r" (__sp))
        }
      
      Unfortunately, that pattern causes Clang to corrupt the stack pointer.
      
      The fix is easy: convert the stack pointer register variable to a global
      variable.
      
      It should be noted that the end result is different based on the GCC
      version.  With GCC 6.4, this patch has exactly the same result as
      before:
      
      	defconfig	defconfig-nofp	distro		distro-nofp
       before	9820389		9491555		8816046		8516940
       after	9820389		9491555		8816046		8516940
      
      With GCC 7.2, however, GCC's behavior has changed.  It now changes its
      behavior based on the conversion of the register variable to a global.
      That somehow convinces it to *always* set up the frame pointer before
      inserting *any* inline asm.  (Therefore, listing the variable as an
      output constraint is a no-op and is no longer necessary.)  It's a bit
      overkill, but the performance impact should be negligible.  And in fact,
      there's a nice improvement with frame pointers disabled:
      
      	defconfig	defconfig-nofp	distro		distro-nofp
       before	9796316		9468236		9076191		8790305
       after	9796957		9464267		9076381		8785949
      
      So in summary, while listing the stack pointer as an output constraint
      is no longer necessary for newer versions of GCC, it's still needed for
      older versions.

      x86/mm: Prepare to expose larger address space to userspace · b569bab7
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      On x86, 5-level paging enables 56-bit userspace virtual address space.
      Not all user space is ready to handle wide addresses. It's known that
      at least some JIT compilers use higher bits in pointers to encode their
      information. It collides with valid pointers with 5-level paging and
      leads to crashes.
      
      To mitigate this, we are not going to allocate virtual address space
      above 47-bit by default.
      
      But userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by
      specifying hint address (with or without MAP_FIXED) above 47-bits.
      
      If hint address set above 47-bit, but MAP_FIXED is not specified, we try
      to look for unmapped area by specified address. If it's already
      occupied, we look for unmapped area in *full* address space, rather than
      from 47-bit window.
      
      A high hint address would only affect the allocation in question, but not
      any future mmap()s.
      
      Specifying high hint address on older kernel or on machine without 5-level
      paging support is safe. The hint will be ignored and kernel will fall back
      to allocation from 47-bit address space.
      
      This approach helps to easily make application's memory allocator aware
      about large address space without manually tracking allocated virtual
      address space.
      
      The patch puts all machinery in place, but not yet allows userspace to have
      mappings above 47-bit -- TASK_SIZE_MAX has to be raised to get the effect.

      x86/mpx: Do not allow MPX if we have mappings above 47-bit · 44b04912
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      MPX (without MAWA extension) cannot handle addresses above 47 bits, so we
      need to make sure that MPX cannot be enabled if we already have a VMA above
      the boundary and forbid creating such VMAs once MPX is enabled.
      
      The patch implements mpx_unmapped_area_check() which is called from all
      variants of get_unmapped_area() to check if the requested address fits
      mpx.
      
      On enabling MPX, we check if we already have any vma above 47-bit
      boundary and forbit the enabling if we do.
      
      As long as DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW is equal to TASK_SIZE_MAX, the change is
      nop. It will change when we allow userspace to have mappings above
      47-bits.

      x86/mm: Provide general kernel support for memory encryption · 21729f81
      Tom Lendacky 提交于
      Changes to the existing page table macros will allow the SME support to
      be enabled in a simple fashion with minimal changes to files that use these
      macros.  Since the memory encryption mask will now be part of the regular
      pagetable macros, we introduce two new macros (_PAGE_TABLE_NOENC and
      _KERNPG_TABLE_NOENC) to allow for early pagetable creation/initialization
      without the encryption mask before SME becomes active.  Two new pgprot()
      macros are defined to allow setting or clearing the page encryption mask.
      
      The FIXMAP_PAGE_NOCACHE define is introduced for use with MMIO.  SME does
      not support encryption for MMIO areas so this define removes the encryption
      mask from the page attribute.
      
      Two new macros are introduced (__sme_pa() / __sme_pa_nodebug()) to allow
      creating a physical address with the encryption mask.  These are used when
      working with the cr3 register so that the PGD can be encrypted. The current
      __va() macro is updated so that the virtual address is generated based off
      of the physical address without the encryption mask thus allowing the same
      virtual address to be generated regardless of whether encryption is enabled
      for that physical location or not.
      
      Also, an early initialization function is added for SME.  If SME is active,
      this function:
      
       - Updates the early_pmd_flags so that early page faults create mappings
         with the encryption mask.
      
       - Updates the __supported_pte_mask to include the encryption mask.
      
       - Updates the protection_map entries to include the encryption mask so
         that user-space allocations will automatically have the encryption mask
         applied.

      x86/arch_prctl: Add ARCH_[GET|SET]_CPUID · e9ea1e7f
      Kyle Huey 提交于
      Intel supports faulting on the CPUID instruction beginning with Ivy Bridge.
      When enabled, the processor will fault on attempts to execute the CPUID
      instruction with CPL>0. Exposing this feature to userspace will allow a
      ptracer to trap and emulate the CPUID instruction.
      
      When supported, this feature is controlled by toggling bit 0 of
      MSR_MISC_FEATURES_ENABLES. It is documented in detail in Section 2.3.2 of
      https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=243991
      
      Implement a new pair of arch_prctls, available on both x86-32 and x86-64.
      
      ARCH_GET_CPUID: Returns the current CPUID state, either 0 if CPUID faulting
          is enabled (and thus the CPUID instruction is not available) or 1 if
          CPUID faulting is not enabled.
      
      ARCH_SET_CPUID: Set the CPUID state to the second argument. If
          cpuid_enabled is 0 CPUID faulting will be activated, otherwise it will
          be deactivated. Returns ENODEV if CPUID faulting is not supported on
          this system.
      
      The state of the CPUID faulting flag is propagated across forks, but reset
      upon exec.

      x86: Make the GDT remapping read-only on 64-bit · 45fc8757
      Thomas Garnier 提交于
      This patch makes the GDT remapped pages read-only, to prevent accidental
      (or intentional) corruption of this key data structure.
      
      This change is done only on 64-bit, because 32-bit needs it to be writable
      for TSS switches.
      
      The native_load_tr_desc function was adapted to correctly handle a
      read-only GDT. The LTR instruction always writes to the GDT TSS entry.
      This generates a page fault if the GDT is read-only. This change checks
      if the current GDT is a remap and swap GDTs as needed. This function was
      tested by booting multiple machines and checking hibernation works
      properly.
      
      KVM SVM and VMX were adapted to use the writeable GDT. On VMX, the
      per-cpu variable was removed for functions to fetch the original GDT.
      Instead of reloading the previous GDT, VMX will reload the fixmap GDT as
      expected. For testing, VMs were started and restored on multiple
      configurations.

      x86: Remap GDT tables in the fixmap section · 69218e47
      Thomas Garnier 提交于
      Each processor holds a GDT in its per-cpu structure. The sgdt
      instruction gives the base address of the current GDT. This address can
      be used to bypass KASLR memory randomization. With another bug, an
      attacker could target other per-cpu structures or deduce the base of
      the main memory section (PAGE_OFFSET).
      
      This patch relocates the GDT table for each processor inside the
      fixmap section. The space is reserved based on number of supported
      processors.
      
      For consistency, the remapping is done by default on 32 and 64-bit.
      
      Each processor switches to its remapped GDT at the end of
      initialization. For hibernation, the main processor returns with the
      original GDT and switches back to the remapping at completion.
      
      This patch was tested on both architectures. Hibernation and KVM were
      both tested specially for their usage of the GDT.
      
      Thanks to Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> for testing and
      recommending changes for Xen support.

      x86/CPU/AMD: Bring back Compute Unit ID · 79a8b9aa
      Borislav Petkov 提交于
      Commit:
      
        a33d3317 ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology")
      
      restored the initial approach we had with the Fam15h topology of
      enumerating CU (Compute Unit) threads as cores. And this is still
      correct - they're beefier than HT threads but still have some
      shared functionality.
      
      Our current approach has a problem with the Mad Max Steam game, for
      example. Yves Dionne reported a certain "choppiness" while playing on
      v4.9.5.
      
      That problem stems most likely from the fact that the CU threads share
      resources within one CU and when we schedule to a thread of a different
      compute unit, this incurs latency due to migrating the working set to a
      different CU through the caches.
      
      When the thread siblings mask mirrors that aspect of the CUs and
      threads, the scheduler pays attention to it and tries to schedule within
      one CU first. Which takes care of the latency, of course.
