KVM may turn a user page to a kernel page when kernel writes a readonly user page if CR0.WP = 1. This shadow page entry will be reused after SMAP is enabled so that kernel is allowed to access this user page Fix it by setting SMAP && !CR0.WP into shadow page's role and reset mmu once CR4.SMAP is updated Signed-off-by: NXiao Guangrong <guangrong.xiao@linux.intel.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

This reverts commits 0a4e6be9 and 80f7fdb1. The task migration notifier was originally introduced in order to support the pvclock vsyscall with non-synchronized TSC, but KVM only supports it with synchronized TSC. Hence, on KVM the race condition is only needed due to a bad implementation on the host side, and even then it's so rare that it's mostly theoretical. As far as KVM is concerned it's possible to fix the host, avoiding the additional complexity in the vDSO and the (re)introduction of the task migration notifier. Xen, on the other hand, hasn't yet implemented vsyscall support at all, so we do not care about its plans for non-synchronized TSC.

AMD CPUs don't reinitialize the SS descriptor on SYSRET, so SYSRET with SS == 0 results in an invalid usermode state in which SS is apparently equal to __USER_DS but causes #SS if used. Work around the issue by setting SS to __KERNEL_DS __switch_to, thus ensuring that SYSRET never happens with SS set to NULL. This was exposed by a recent vDSO cleanup.

Memtest is a simple feature which fills the memory with a given set of patterns and validates memory contents, if bad memory regions is detected it reserves them via memblock API. Since memblock API is widely used by other architectures this feature can be enabled outside of x86 world. This patch set promotes memtest to live under generic mm umbrella and enables memtest feature for arm/arm64. It was reported that this patch set was useful for tracking down an issue with some errant DMA on an arm64 platform.

由 Linus Torvalds 提交于
The rule for 'copy_from_user()' is that it zeroes the remaining kernel buffer even when the copy fails halfway, just to make sure that we don't leave uninitialized kernel memory around. Because even if we check for errors, some kernel buffers stay around after thge copy (think page cache). However, the x86-64 logic for user copies uses a copy_user_generic() function for all the cases, that set the "zerorest" flag for any fault on the source buffer. Which meant that it didn't just try to clear the kernel buffer after a failure in copy_from_user(), it also tried to clear the destination user buffer for the "copy_in_user()" case. Not only is that pointless, it also means that the clearing code has to worry about the tail clearing taking page faults for the user buffer case. Which is just stupid, since that case shouldn't happen in the first place. Get rid of the whole "zerorest" thing entirely, and instead just check if the destination is in kernel space or not. And then just use memset() to clear the tail of the kernel buffer if necessary. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Dirty logging tracks sptes in 4k granularity, meaning that large sptes have to be split. If live migration is successful, the guest in the source machine will be destroyed and large sptes will be created in the destination. However, the guest continues to run in the source machine (for example if live migration fails), small sptes will remain around and cause bad performance. This patch introduce lazy collapsing of small sptes into large sptes. The rmap will be scanned in ioctl context when dirty logging is stopped, dropping those sptes which can be collapsed into a single large-page spte. Later page faults will create the large-page sptes.

cpuid_maxphyaddr(), which performs lot of memory accesses is called extensively across KVM, especially in nVMX code. This patch adds a cached value of maxphyaddr to vcpu.arch to reduce the pressure onto CPU cache and simplify the code of cpuid_maxphyaddr() callers. The cached value is initialized in kvm_arch_vcpu_init() and reloaded every time CPUID is updated by usermode. It is obvious that these reloads occur infrequently.

Interrupt entry points are handled with the following code, each 32-byte code block contains seven entry points: ... [push][jump 22] // 4 bytes [push][jump 18] // 4 bytes [push][jump 14] // 4 bytes [push][jump 10] // 4 bytes [push][jump 6] // 4 bytes [push][jump 2] // 4 bytes [push][jump common_interrupt][padding] // 8 bytes [push][jump] [push][jump] [push][jump] [push][jump] [push][jump] [push][jump] [push][jump common_interrupt][padding] [padding_2] common_interrupt: And there is a table which holds pointers to every entry point, IOW: to every push. In cold cache, two jumps are still costlier than one, even though we get the benefit of them residing in the same cacheline. This change replaces short jumps with near ones to 'common_interrupt', and pads every push+jump pair to 8 bytes. This way, each interrupt takes only one jump. This change replaces ".p2align CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT" before dispatch table with ".align 8" - we do not need anything stronger than that. The table of entry addresses (the interrupt[] array) is no longer necessary, the address of entries can be easily calculated as (irq_entries_start + i*8). text data bss dec hex filename 12546 0 0 12546 3102 entry_64.o.before 11626 0 0 11626 2d6a entry_64.o The size decrease is because 1656 bytes of .init.rodata are gone.

On failure, sys_execve() does not clobber EXTRA_REGS, so we can just return to userpsace without saving/restoring them. On success, ELF_PLAT_INIT() in sys_execve() clears all these registers. On other executable formats: - binfmt_flat.c has similar FLAT_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and everyone else except sh) doesn't define it. - binfmt_elf_fdpic.c has ELF_FDPIC_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and most others) doesn't define it. - There are no such hooks in binfmt_aout.c et al. We inherit EXTRA_REGS from the prior executable. This inconsistency was not intended. This change removes SAVE/RESTORE_EXTRA_REGS in stub_execve, removes register clearing in ELF_PLAT_INIT(), and instead simply clears them on success in stub_execve. Run-tested.

The 'pax' argument is unnecesary. Instead, store the RAX value directly in regs. This pattern goes all the way back to 2.1.106pre1, when restore_sigcontext() was changed to return an error code instead of EAX directly: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/history/history.git/diff/arch/i386/kernel/signal.c?id=9a8f8b7ca3f319bd668298d447bdf32730e51174 In 2007 sigaltstack syscall support was added, where the return value of restore_sigcontext() was changed to carry the memory-copying failure code. But instead of putting 'ax' into regs->ax directly, it was carried in via a pointer and then returned, where the generic syscall return code copied it to regs->ax. So there was never any deeper reason for this suboptimal pattern, it was simply never noticed after being introduced.

Quentin caught a corner case with the generation of instruction padding in the ALTERNATIVE_2 macro: if len(orig_insn) < len(alt1) < len(alt2), then not enough padding gets added and that is not good(tm) as we could overwrite the beginning of the next instruction. Luckily, at the time of this writing, we don't have ALTERNATIVE_2() invocations which have that problem and even if we did, a simple fix would be to prepend the instructions with enough prefixes so that that corner case doesn't happen. However, best it would be if we fixed it properly. See below for a simple, abstracted example of what we're doing. So what we ended up doing is, we compute the max(len(alt1), len(alt2)) - len(orig_insn) and feed that value to the .skip gas directive. The max() cannot have conditionals due to gas limitations, thus the fancy integer math. With this patch, all ALTERNATIVE_2 sites get padded correctly; generating obscure test cases pass too: #define alt_max_short(a, b) ((a) ^ (((a) ^ (b)) & -(-((a) < (b))))) #define gen_skip(orig, alt1, alt2, marker) \ .skip -((alt_max_short(alt1, alt2) - (orig)) > 0) * \ (alt_max_short(alt1, alt2) - (orig)),marker .pushsection .text, "ax" .globl main main: gen_skip(1, 2, 4, 0x09) gen_skip(4, 1, 2, 0x10) ... .popsection Thanks to Quentin for catching it and double-checking the fix!

Add support for the new CLWB (cache line write back) instruction. This instruction was announced in the document "Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference" with reference number 319433-022. https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/0d/53/319433-022.pdf The CLWB instruction is used to write back the contents of dirtied cache lines to memory without evicting the cache lines from the processor's cache hierarchy. This should be used in favor of clflushopt or clflush in cases where you require the cache line to be written to memory but plan to access the data again in the near future. One of the main use cases for this is with persistent memory where CLWB can be used with PCOMMIT to ensure that data has been accepted to memory and is durable on the DIMM. This function shows how to properly use CLWB/CLFLUSHOPT/CLFLUSH and PCOMMIT with appropriate fencing: void flush_and_commit_buffer(void *vaddr, unsigned int size) { void *vend = vaddr + size - 1; for (; vaddr < vend; vaddr += boot_cpu_data.x86_clflush_size) clwb(vaddr); /* Flush any possible final partial cacheline */ clwb(vend); /* * Use SFENCE to order CLWB/CLFLUSHOPT/CLFLUSH cache flushes. * (MFENCE via mb() also works) */ wmb(); /* PCOMMIT and the required SFENCE for ordering */ pcommit_sfence(); } After this function completes the data pointed to by vaddr is has been accepted to memory and will be durable if the vaddr points to persistent memory. Regarding the details of how the alternatives assembly is set up, we need one additional byte at the beginning of the CLFLUSH so that we can flip it into a CLFLUSHOPT by changing that byte into a 0x66 prefix. Two options are to either insert a 1 byte ASM_NOP1, or to add a 1 byte NOP_DS_PREFIX. Both have no functional effect with the plain CLFLUSH, but I've been told that executing a CLFLUSH + prefix should be faster than executing a CLFLUSH + NOP. We had to hard code the assembly for CLWB because, lacking the ability to assemble the CLWB instruction itself, the next closest thing is to have an xsaveopt instruction with a 0x66 prefix. Unfortunately XSAVEOPT itself is also relatively new, and isn't included by all the GCC versions that the kernel needs to support.

Add support for Intel Processor Trace (PT) to kernel's perf events. PT is an extension of Intel Architecture that collects information about software execuction such as control flow, execution modes and timings and formats it into highly compressed binary packets. Even being compressed, these packets are generated at hundreds of megabytes per second per core, which makes it impractical to decode them on the fly in the kernel. This driver exports trace data by through AUX space in the perf ring buffer, which is zero-copy mapped into userspace for faster data retrieval.

Some of x86 bare-metal and Xen CPU initialization code is common between the two and therefore can be factored out to avoid code duplication.

Currently x86-64 efi_call_phys_prolog() saves into a global variable (save_pgd), and efi_call_phys_epilog() restores the kernel pagetables from that global variable. Change this to a cleaner save/restore pattern where the saving function returns the saved object and the restore function restores that. Apply the same concept to the 32-bit code as well. Plus this approach, as an added bonus, allows us to express the !efi_enabled(EFI_OLD_MEMMAP) situation in a clean fashion as well, via a 'NULL' return value.

user_mode_ignore_vm86() can be used instead of user_mode(), in places where we have already done a v8086_mode() security check of ptregs. But doing this check in the wrong place would be a bug that could result in security problems, and also the naming still isn't very clear. Furthermore, it only affects 32-bit kernels, while most development happens on 64-bit kernels. If we replace them with user_mode() checks then the cost is only a very minor increase in various slowpaths: text data bss dec hex filename 10573391 703562 1753042 13029995 c6d26b vmlinux.o.before 10573423 703562 1753042 13030027 c6d28b vmlinux.o.after So lets get rid of this distinction once and for all.

The ASLR implementation needs to special-case AMD F15h processors by clearing out bits [14:12] of the virtual address in order to avoid I$ cross invalidations and thus performance penalty for certain workloads. For details, see: dfb09f9b ("x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties on AMD family 15h") This special case reduces the mmapped file's entropy by 3 bits. The following output is the run on an AMD Opteron 62xx class CPU processor under x86_64 Linux 4.0.0: $ for i in `seq 1 10`; do cat /proc/self/maps | grep "r-xp.*libc" ; done b7588000-b7736000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 4924 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 b7570000-b771e000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 4924 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 b75d0000-b777e000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 4924 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 b75b0000-b775e000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 4924 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 b7578000-b7726000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 4924 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 ... Bits [12:14] are always 0, i.e. the address always ends in 0x8000 or 0x0000. 32-bit systems, as in the example above, are especially sensitive to this issue because 32-bit randomness for VA space is 8 bits (see mmap_rnd()). With the Bulldozer special case, this diminishes to only 32 different slots of mmap virtual addresses. This patch randomizes per boot the three affected bits rather than setting them to zero. Since all the shared pages have the same value at bits [12..14], there is no cache aliasing problems. This value gets generated during system boot and it is thus not known to a potential remote attacker. Therefore, the impact from the Bulldozer workaround gets diminished and ASLR randomness increased.
