Now that the mitigations are in place, add a command line parameter to control the mitigation, a mitigation selector function and a SMT update mechanism. This is the minimal straight forward initial implementation which just provides an always on/off mode. The command line parameter is: mds=[full|off] This is consistent with the existing mitigations for other speculative hardware vulnerabilities. The idle invocation is dynamically updated according to the SMT state of the system similar to the dynamic update of the STIBP mitigation. The idle mitigation is limited to CPUs which are only affected by MSBDS and not any other variant, because the other variants cannot be mitigated on SMT enabled systems.

Commit 765b6a98 ("iommu/vt-d: Enumerate the scalable mode capability") enables VT-d scalable mode if hardware advertises the capability. As we will bring up different features and use cases to upstream in different patch series, it will leave some intermediate kernel versions which support partial features. Hence, end user might run into problems when they use such kernels on bare metals or virtualization environments. This leaves scalable mode default off and end users could turn it on with "intel-iommu=sm_on" only when they have clear ideas about which scalable features are supported in the kernel.

Swap storage is restricted to max_swapfile_size (~16TB on x86_64) whenever the system is deemed affected by L1TF vulnerability. Even though the limit is quite high for most deployments it seems to be too restrictive for deployments which are willing to live with the mitigation disabled. We have a customer to deploy 8x 6,4TB PCIe/NVMe SSD swap devices which is clearly out of the limit. Drop the swap restriction when l1tf=off is specified.

Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others. With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set from the commandline, this is a challenge. Do the following things to make it easier: 1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled unless a user requests it at boot-time. To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=. 2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs when the feature is disabled. In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says: : The following is a comparision using CONFIG_PSI=n as a baseline against : your patch and a vanilla kernel : : 4.20.0-rc4 4.20.0-rc4 4.20.0-rc4 : kconfigdisable-v1r1 vanilla psidisable-v1r1 : Amean 1 1.3100 ( 0.00%) 1.3923 ( -6.28%) 1.3427 ( -2.49%) : Amean 3 3.8860 ( 0.00%) 4.1230 * -6.10%* 3.8860 ( -0.00%) : Amean 5 6.8847 ( 0.00%) 8.0390 * -16.77%* 6.7727 ( 1.63%) : Amean 7 9.9310 ( 0.00%) 10.8367 * -9.12%* 9.9910 ( -0.60%) : Amean 12 16.6577 ( 0.00%) 18.2363 * -9.48%* 17.1083 ( -2.71%) : Amean 18 26.5133 ( 0.00%) 27.8833 * -5.17%* 25.7663 ( 2.82%) : Amean 24 34.3003 ( 0.00%) 34.6830 ( -1.12%) 32.0450 ( 6.58%) : Amean 30 40.0063 ( 0.00%) 40.5800 ( -1.43%) 41.5087 ( -3.76%) : Amean 32 40.1407 ( 0.00%) 41.2273 ( -2.71%) 39.9417 ( 0.50%) : : It's showing that the vanilla kernel takes a hit (as the bisection : indicated it would) and that disabling PSI by default is reasonably : close in terms of performance for this particular workload on this : particular machine so; Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181127165329.GA29728@cmpxchg.orgSigned-off-by: NJohannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Tested-by: NMel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Reported-by: NMel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

If 'prctl' mode of user space protection from spectre v2 is selected on the kernel command-line, STIBP and IBPB are applied on tasks which restrict their indirect branch speculation via prctl. SECCOMP enables the SSBD mitigation for sandboxed tasks already, so it makes sense to prevent spectre v2 user space to user space attacks as well. The Intel mitigation guide documents how STIPB works: Setting bit 1 (STIBP) of the IA32_SPEC_CTRL MSR on a logical processor prevents the predicted targets of indirect branches on any logical processor of that core from being controlled by software that executes (or executed previously) on another logical processor of the same core. Ergo setting STIBP protects the task itself from being attacked from a task running on a different hyper-thread and protects the tasks running on different hyper-threads from being attacked. While the document suggests that the branch predictors are shielded between the logical processors, the observed performance regressions suggest that STIBP simply disables the branch predictor more or less completely. Of course the document wording is vague, but the fact that there is also no requirement for issuing IBPB when STIBP is used points clearly in that direction. The kernel still issues IBPB even when STIBP is used until Intel clarifies the whole mechanism. IBPB is issued when the task switches out, so malicious sandbox code cannot mistrain the branch predictor for the next user space task on the same logical processor.

Patch series "Address issues slowing persistent memory initialization", v5. The main thing this patch set achieves is that it allows us to initialize each node worth of persistent memory independently. As a result we reduce page init time by about 2 minutes because instead of taking 30 to 40 seconds per node and going through each node one at a time, we process all 4 nodes in parallel in the case of a 12TB persistent memory setup spread evenly over 4 nodes. This patch (of 3): On systems with a large amount of memory it can take a significant amount of time to initialize all of the page structs with the PAGE_POISON_PATTERN value. I have seen it take over 2 minutes to initialize a system with over 12TB of RAM. In order to work around the issue I had to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and then the boot time returned to something much more reasonable as the arch_add_memory call completed in milliseconds versus seconds. However in doing that I had to disable all of the other VM debugging on the system. In order to work around a kernel that might have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled on a system that has a large amount of memory I have added a new kernel parameter named "vm_debug" that can be set to "-" in order to disable it.

The "pciserial" earlyprintk variant helps much on many modern x86 platforms, but unfortunately there are still some platforms with PCI UART devices which have the wrong PCI class code. In that case, the current class code check does not allow for them to be used for logging. Add a sub-option "force" which overrides the class code check and thus the use of such device can be enforced.

Implements counter freezing for Arch Perfmon v4 (Skylake and newer). This allows to speed up the PMI handler by avoiding unnecessary MSR writes and make it more accurate. The Arch Perfmon v4 PMI handler is substantially different than the older PMI handler. Differences to the old handler: - It relies on counter freezing, which eliminates several MSR writes from the PMI handler and lowers the overhead significantly. It makes the PMI handler more accurate, as all counters get frozen atomically as soon as any counter overflows. So there is much less counting of the PMI handler itself. With the freezing we don't need to disable or enable counters or PEBS. Only BTS which does not support auto-freezing still needs to be explicitly managed. - The PMU acking is done at the end, not the beginning. This makes it possible to avoid manual enabling/disabling of the PMU, instead we just rely on the freezing/acking. - The APIC is acked before reenabling the PMU, which avoids problems with LBRs occasionally not getting unfreezed on Skylake. - Looping is only needed to workaround a corner case which several PMIs are very close to each other. For common cases, the counters are freezed during PMI handler. It doesn't need to do re-check. This patch: - Adds code to enable v4 counter freezing - Fork <=v3 and >=v4 PMI handlers into separate functions. - Add kernel parameter to disable counter freezing. It took some time to debug counter freezing, so in case there are new problems we added an option to turn it off. Would not expect this to be used until there are new bugs. - Only for big core. The patch for small core will be posted later separately. Performance: When profiling a kernel build on Kabylake with different perf options, measuring the length of all NMI handlers using the nmi handler trace point: V3 is without counter freezing. V4 is with counter freezing. The value is the average cost of the PMI handler.

Add a generic command line option to enable lazy unmapping via IOVA flush queues, which will initally be suuported by iommu-dma.

Scrubbing pages on initial balloon down can take some time, especially in nested virtualization case (nested EPT is slow). When HVM/PVH guest is started with memory= significantly lower than maxmem=, all the extra pages will be scrubbed before returning to Xen. But since most of them weren't used at all at that point, Xen needs to populate them first (from populate-on-demand pool). In nested virt case (Xen inside KVM) this slows down the guest boot by 15-30s with just 1.5GB needed to be returned to Xen. Add runtime parameter to enable/disable it, to allow initially disabling scrubbing, then enable it back during boot (for example in initramfs). Such usage relies on assumption that a) most pages ballooned out during initial boot weren't used at all, and b) even if they were, very few secrets are in the guest at that time (before any serious userspace kicks in). Convert CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES to CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT (also enabled by default), controlling default value for the new runtime switch.

The jiffies_till_sched_qs value used to determine how old a grace period must be before RCU enlists the help of the scheduler to force a quiescent state on the holdout CPU. Currently, this defaults to HZ/10 regardless of system size and may be set only at boot time. This can be a problem for very large systems, because if the values of the jiffies_till_first_fqs and jiffies_till_next_fqs kernel parameters are left at their defaults, they are calculated to increase as the number of CPUs actually configured on the system increases. Thus, on a sufficiently large system, RCU would enlist the help of the scheduler before the grace-period kthread had a chance to scan for idle CPUs, which wastes CPU time. This commit therefore allows jiffies_till_sched_qs to be set, if desired, but if left as default, computes is as jiffies_till_first_fqs plus twice jiffies_till_next_fqs, thus allowing three force-quiescent-state scans for idle CPUs. This scales with the number of CPUs, providing sensible default values. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Now that the RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions are simple wrappers around their RCU counterparts, there isn't a whole lot of point in testing them. This commit therefore removes the self-test capability and removes the corresponding kernel-boot parameters. It also updates the various rcutorture .boot files to remove the kernel boot parameters that call for testing RCU-bh and RCU-sched. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The RCU-bh update API is now defined in terms of that of RCU-bh and RCU-sched, so this commit updates the documentation accordingly. In addition, although RCU-sched persists in !PREEMPT kernels, in the PREEMPT case its update API is now defined in terms of that of RCU-preempt, so this commit also updates the documentation accordingly. While in the area, this commit removes the documentation for the now-obsolete synchronize_rcu_mult() and clarifies the Tasks RCU documentation. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The Kconfig text for CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING doesn't mention that it has to be enabled explicitly. This updates the documentation for that and adds a note about CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING to the "page_poison" command line docs. While here, change description of CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO too, as it's not "random" data, but rather the fixed debugging value that would be used when not zeroing. Additionally removes a stray "bool" in the Kconfig.

To support peer-to-peer traffic on a segment of the PCI hierarchy, we must disable the ACS redirect bits for select PCI bridges. The bridges must be selected before the devices are discovered by the kernel and the IOMMU groups created. Therefore, add a kernel command line parameter to specify devices which must have their ACS bits disabled. The new parameter takes a list of devices separated by a semicolon. Each device specified will have its ACS redirect bits disabled. This is similar to the existing 'resource_alignment' parameter. The ACS Request P2P Request Redirect, P2P Completion Redirect and P2P Egress Control bits are disabled, which is sufficient to always allow passing P2P traffic uninterrupted. The bits are set after the kernel (optionally) enables the ACS bits itself. It is also done regardless of whether the kernel or platform firmware sets the bits. If the user tries to disable the ACS redirect for a device without the ACS capability, print a warning to dmesg.

When specifying PCI devices on the kernel command line using a bus/device/function address, bus numbers can change when adding or replacing a device, changing motherboard firmware, or applying kernel parameters like "pci=assign-buses". When bus numbers change, it's likely the command line tweak will be applied to the wrong device. Therefore, it is useful to be able to specify devices with a base bus number and the path of devfns needed to get to it, similar to the "device scope" structure in the Intel VT-d spec, Section 8.3.1. Thus, we add an option to specify devices in the following format: [<domain>:]<bus>:<device>.<func>[/<device>.<func>]* The path can be any segment within the PCI hierarchy of any length and determined through the use of 'lspci -t'. When specified this way, it is less likely that a renumbered bus will result in a valid device specification and the tweak won't be applied to the wrong device.

Separate out the code to match a PCI device with a string (typically originating from a kernel parameter) from the pci_specified_resource_alignment() function into its own helper function. While we are at it, this change fixes the kernel style of the function (fixing a number of long lines and extra parentheses). Additionally, make the analogous change to the kernel parameter documentation: Separate the description of how to specify a PCI device into its own section at the head of the "pci=" parameter. This patch should have no functional alterations.
