Keeping track of the number of mitigations for all the CPU speculation bugs has become overwhelming for many users. It's getting more and more complicated to decide which mitigations are needed for a given architecture. Complicating matters is the fact that each arch tends to have its own custom way to mitigate the same vulnerability. Most users fall into a few basic categories: a) they want all mitigations off; b) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT enabled even if it's vulnerable; or c) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT disabled if vulnerable. Define a set of curated, arch-independent options, each of which is an aggregation of existing options: - mitigations=off: Disable all mitigations. - mitigations=auto: [default] Enable all the default mitigations, but leave SMT enabled, even if it's vulnerable. - mitigations=auto,nosmt: Enable all the default mitigations, disabling SMT if needed by a mitigation. Currently, these options are placeholders which don't actually do anything. They will be fleshed out in upcoming patches.

The series to add memcg accounting to KVM allocations[1] states: There are many KVM kernel memory allocations which are tied to the life of the VM process and should be charged to the VM process's cgroup. While it is correct to account KVM kernel allocations to the cgroup of the process that created the VM, it's technically incorrect to state that the KVM kernel memory allocations are tied to the life of the VM process. This is because the VM itself, i.e. struct kvm, is not tied to the life of the process which created it, rather it is tied to the life of its associated file descriptor. In other words, kvm_destroy_vm() is not invoked until fput() decrements its associated file's refcount to zero. A simple example is to fork() in Qemu and have the child sleep indefinitely; kvm_destroy_vm() isn't called until Qemu closes its file descriptor *and* the rogue child is killed. The allocations are guaranteed to be *accounted* to the process which created the VM, but only because KVM's per-{VM,vCPU} ioctls reject the ioctl() with -EIO if kvm->mm != current->mm. I.e. the child can keep the VM "alive" but can't do anything useful with its reference. Note that because 'struct kvm' also holds a reference to the mm_struct of its owner, the above behavior also applies to userspace allocations. Given that mucking with a VM's file descriptor can lead to subtle and undesirable behavior, e.g. memcg charges persisting after a VM is shut down, explicitly document a VM's lifecycle and its impact on the VM's resources. Alternatively, KVM could aggressively free resources when the creating process exits, e.g. via mmu_notifier->release(). However, mmu_notifier isn't guaranteed to be available, and freeing resources when the creator exits is likely to be error prone and fragile as KVM would need to ensure that it only freed resources that are truly out of reach. In practice, the existing behavior shouldn't be problematic as a properly configured system will prevent a child process from being moved out of the appropriate cgroup hierarchy, i.e. prevent hiding the process from the OOM killer, and will prevent an unprivileged user from being able to to hold a reference to struct kvm via another method, e.g. debugfs.

KVM's API requires thats ioctls must be issued from the same process that created the VM. In other words, userspace can play games with a VM's file descriptors, e.g. fork(), SCM_RIGHTS, etc..., but only the creator can do anything useful. Explicitly reject device ioctls that are issued by a process other than the VM's creator, and update KVM's API documentation to extend its requirements to device ioctls.

Per Paolo[1], instantiating multiple VMs in a single process is legal; but this conflicts with KVM's API documentation, which states: The only supported use is one virtual machine per process, and one vcpu per thread. However, an earlier section in the documentation states: Only run VM ioctls from the same process (address space) that was used to create the VM. and: Only run vcpu ioctls from the same thread that was used to create the vcpu. This suggests that the conflicting documentation is simply an incorrect ordering of of words, i.e. what's really meant is that a virtual machine can't be shared across multiple processes and a vCPU can't be shared across multiple threads. Tweak the blurb on issuing ioctls to use a more assertive tone, and rewrite the "supported use" sentence to reference said blurb instead of poorly restating it in different terms. Opportunistically add missing punctuation.

The cr4_pae flag is a bit of a misnomer, its purpose is really to track whether the guest PTE that is being shadowed is a 4-byte entry or an 8-byte entry. Prior to supporting nested EPT, the size of the gpte was reflected purely by CR4.PAE. KVM fudged things a bit for direct sptes, but it was mostly harmless since the size of the gpte never mattered. Now that a spte may be tracking an indirect EPT entry, relying on CR4.PAE is wrong and ill-named. For direct shadow pages, force the gpte_size to '1' as they are always 8-byte entries; EPT entries can only be 8-bytes and KVM always uses 8-byte entries for NPT and its identity map (when running with EPT but not unrestricted guest). Likewise, nested EPT entries are always 8-bytes. Nested EPT presents a unique scenario as the size of the entries are not dictated by CR4.PAE, but neither is the shadow page a direct map. To handle this scenario, set cr0_wp=1 and smap_andnot_wp=1, an otherwise impossible combination, to denote a nested EPT shadow page. Use the information to avoid incorrectly zapping an unsync'd indirect page in __kvm_sync_page(). Providing a consistent and accurate gpte_size fixes a bug reported by Vitaly where fast_cr3_switch() always fails when switching from L2 to L1 as kvm_mmu_get_page() would force role.cr4_pae=0 for direct pages, whereas kvm_calc_mmu_role_common() would set it according to CR4.PAE.

To prevent any issues with persistent data, separate lzo-rle from lzo so that it is treated as a separate algorithm, and lzo is still available.

Patch series "lib/lzo: run-length encoding support", v5. Following on from the previous lzo-rle patchset: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/30/972 This patchset contains only the RLE patches, and should be applied on top of the non-RLE patches ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/2/5/366 ). Previously, some questions were raised around the RLE patches. I've done some additional benchmarking to answer these questions. In short: - RLE offers significant additional performance (data-dependent) - I didn't measure any regressions that were clearly outside the noise One concern with this patchset was around performance - specifically, measuring RLE impact separately from Matt Sealey's patches (CTZ & fast copy). I have done some additional benchmarking which I hope clarifies the benefits of each part of the patchset. Firstly, I've captured some memory via /dev/fmem from a Chromebook with many tabs open which is starting to swap, and then split this into 4178 4k pages. I've excluded the all-zero pages (as zram does), and also the no-zero pages (which won't tell us anything about RLE performance). This should give a realistic test dataset for zram. What I found was that the data is VERY bimodal: 44% of pages in this dataset contain 5% or fewer zeros, and 44% contain over 90% zeros (30% if you include the no-zero pages). This supports the idea of special-casing zeros in zram. Next, I've benchmarked four variants of lzo on these pages (on 64-bit Arm at max frequency): baseline LZO; baseline + Matt Sealey's patches (aka MS); baseline + RLE only; baseline + MS + RLE. Numbers are for weighted roundtrip throughput (the weighting reflects that zram does more compression than decompression). https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VLtLjRVxgUNuWFOxaGPwJYhl_hMQXpHe/view?usp=sharing Matt's patches help in all cases for Arm (and no effect on Intel), as expected. RLE also behaves as expected: with few zeros present, it makes no difference; above ~75%, it gives a good improvement (50 - 300 MB/s on top of the benefit from Matt's patches). Best performance is seen with both MS and RLE patches. Finally, I have benchmarked the same dataset on an x86-64 device. Here, the MS patches make no difference (as expected); RLE helps, similarly as on Arm. There were no definite regressions; allowing for observational error, 0.1% (3/4178) of cases had a regression > 1 standard deviation, of which the largest was 4.6% (1.2 standard deviations). I think this is probably within the noise. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xCUVwmiGD0heEMx5gcVEmLBI4eLaageV/view?usp=sharing One point to note is that the graphs show RLE appears to help very slightly with no zeros present! This is because the extra code causes the clang optimiser to change code layout in a way that happens to have a significant benefit. Taking baseline LZO and adding a do-nothing line like "__builtin_prefetch(out_len);" immediately before the "goto next" has the same effect. So this is a real, but basically spurious effect - it's small enough not to upset the overall findings. This patch (of 3): When using zram, we frequently encounter long runs of zero bytes. This adds a special case which identifies runs of zeros and encodes them using run-length encoding. This is faster for both compression and decompresion. For high-entropy data which doesn't hit this case, impact is minimal. Compression ratio is within a few percent in all cases. This modifies the bitstream in a way which is backwards compatible (i.e., we can decompress old bitstreams, but old versions of lzo cannot decompress new bitstreams).

This slightly optimizes the kernel/configs.c build. bin2c is not very efficient because it converts a data file into a huge array to embed it into a *.c file. Instead, we can use the .incbin directive. Also, this simplifies the code; Makefile is cleaner, and the way to get the offset/size of the config_data.gz is more straightforward. I used the "asm" statement in *.c instead of splitting it into *.S because MODULE_* tags are not supported in *.S files. I also cleaned up kernel/.gitignore; "config_data.gz" is unneeded because the top-level .gitignore takes care of the "*.gz" pattern.
