2018-08-03vfio/mdev: Check globally for duplicate devicesAlex Williamson
[ Upstream commit 002fe996f67f4f46d8917b14cfb6e4313c20685a ] When we create an mdev device, we check for duplicates against the parent device and return -EEXIST if found, but the mdev device namespace is global since we'll link all devices from the bus. We do catch this later in sysfs_do_create_link_sd() to return -EEXIST, but with it comes a kernel warning and stack trace for trying to create duplicate sysfs links, which makes it an undesirable response. Therefore we should really be looking for duplicates across all mdev parent devices, or as implemented here, against our mdev device list. Using mdev_list to prevent duplicates means that we can remove mdev_parent.lock, but in order not to serialize mdev device creation and removal globally, we add mdev_device.active which allows UUIDs to be reserved such that we can drop the mdev_list_lock before the mdev device is fully in place. Two behavioral notes; first, mdev_parent.lock had the side-effect of serializing mdev create and remove ops per parent device. This was an implementation detail, not an intentional guarantee provided to the mdev vendor drivers. Vendor drivers can trivially provide this serialization internally if necessary. Second, review comments note the new -EAGAIN behavior when the device, and in particular the remove attribute, becomes visible in sysfs. If a remove is triggered prior to completion of mdev_device_create() the user will see a -EAGAIN error. While the errno is different, receiving an error during this period is not, the previous implementation returned -ENODEV for the same condition. Furthermore, the consistency to the user is improved in the case where mdev_device_remove_ops() returns error. Previously concurrent calls to mdev_device_remove() could see the device disappear with -ENODEV and return in the case of error. Now a user would see -EAGAIN while the device is in this transitory state.

2018-07-03cxl: Disable prefault_mode in Radix modeVaibhav Jain
commit b6c84ba22ff3a198eb8d5552cf9b8fda1d792e54 upstream. Currently we see a kernel-oops reported on Power-9 while attaching a context to an AFU, with radix-mode and sysfs attr 'prefault_mode' set to anything other than 'none'. The backtrace of the oops is of this form: Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000080 Faulting instruction address: 0xc00800000bcf3b20 cpu 0x1: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000037f003800] pc: c00800000bcf3b20: cxl_load_segment+0x178/0x290 [cxl] lr: c00800000bcf39f0: cxl_load_segment+0x48/0x290 [cxl] sp: c00000037f003a80 msr: 9000000000009033 dar: 80 dsisr: 40000000 current = 0xc00000037f280000 paca = 0xc0000003ffffe600 softe: 3 irq_happened: 0x01 pid = 3529, comm = afp_no_int <snip> cxl_prefault+0xfc/0x248 [cxl] process_element_entry_psl9+0xd8/0x1a0 [cxl] cxl_attach_dedicated_process_psl9+0x44/0x130 [cxl] native_attach_process+0xc0/0x130 [cxl] afu_ioctl+0x3f4/0x5e0 [cxl] do_vfs_ioctl+0xdc/0x890 ksys_ioctl+0x68/0xf0 sys_ioctl+0x40/0xa0 system_call+0x58/0x6c The issue is caused as on Power-8 the AFU attr 'prefault_mode' was used to improve initial storage fault performance by prefaulting process segments. However on Power-9 with radix mode we don't have Storage-Segments that we can prefault. Also prefaulting process Pages will be too costly and fine-grained. Hence, since the prefaulting mechanism doesn't makes sense of radix-mode, this patch updates prefault_mode_store() to not allow any other value apart from CXL_PREFAULT_NONE when radix mode is enabled.

2018-07-03lib/vsprintf: Remove atomic-unsafe support for %pCrGeert Uytterhoeven
commit 666902e42fd8344b923c02dc5b0f37948ff4f225 upstream. "%pCr" formats the current rate of a clock, and calls clk_get_rate(). The latter obtains a mutex, hence it must not be called from atomic context. Remove support for this rarely-used format, as vsprintf() (and e.g. printk()) must be callable from any context. Any remaining out-of-tree users will start seeing the clock's name printed instead of its rate.

commit a73ec77ee17ec556fe7f165d00314cb7c047b1ac upstream Add prctl based control for Speculative Store Bypass mitigation and make it the default mitigation for Intel and AMD. Andi Kleen provided the following rationale (slightly redacted): There are multiple levels of impact of Speculative Store Bypass: 1) JITed sandbox. It cannot invoke system calls, but can do PRIME+PROBE and may have call interfaces to other code 2) Native code process. No protection inside the process at this level. 3) Kernel. 4) Between processes. The prctl tries to protect against case (1) doing attacks. If the untrusted code can do random system calls then control is already lost in a much worse way. So there needs to be system call protection in some way (using a JIT not allowing them or seccomp). Or rather if the process can subvert its environment somehow to do the prctl it can already execute arbitrary code, which is much worse than SSB. To put it differently, the point of the prctl is to not allow JITed code to read data it shouldn't read from its JITed sandbox. If it already has escaped its sandbox then it can already read everything it wants in its address space, and do much worse. The ability to control Speculative Store Bypass allows to enable the protection selectively without affecting overall system performance. Based on an initial patch from Tim Chen.

commit b617cfc858161140d69cc0b5cc211996b557a1c7 upstream Add two new prctls to control aspects of speculation related vulnerabilites and their mitigations to provide finer grained control over performance impacting mitigations. PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL returns the state of the speculation misfeature which is selected with arg2 of prctl(2). The return value uses bit 0-2 with the following meaning: Bit Define Description 0 PR_SPEC_PRCTL Mitigation can be controlled per task by PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL 1 PR_SPEC_ENABLE The speculation feature is enabled, mitigation is disabled 2 PR_SPEC_DISABLE The speculation feature is disabled, mitigation is enabled If all bits are 0 the CPU is not affected by the speculation misfeature. If PR_SPEC_PRCTL is set, then the per task control of the mitigation is available. If not set, prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL) for the speculation misfeature will fail. PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL allows to control the speculation misfeature, which is selected by arg2 of prctl(2) per task. arg3 is used to hand in the control value, i.e. either PR_SPEC_ENABLE or PR_SPEC_DISABLE. The common return values are: EINVAL prctl is not implemented by the architecture or the unused prctl() arguments are not 0 ENODEV arg2 is selecting a not supported speculation misfeature PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL has these additional return values: ERANGE arg3 is incorrect, i.e. it's not either PR_SPEC_ENABLE or PR_SPEC_DISABLE ENXIO prctl control of the selected speculation misfeature is disabled The first supported controlable speculation misfeature is PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS.

2018-05-22x86/bugs: Provide boot parameters for the spec_store_bypass_disable mitigationKonrad Rzeszutek Wilk
commit 24f7fc83b9204d20f878c57cb77d261ae825e033 upstream Contemporary high performance processors use a common industry-wide optimization known as "Speculative Store Bypass" in which loads from addresses to which a recent store has occurred may (speculatively) see an older value. Intel refers to this feature as "Memory Disambiguation" which is part of their "Smart Memory Access" capability. Memory Disambiguation can expose a cache side-channel attack against such speculatively read values. An attacker can create exploit code that allows them to read memory outside of a sandbox environment (for example, malicious JavaScript in a web page), or to perform more complex attacks against code running within the same privilege level, e.g. via the stack. As a first step to mitigate against such attacks, provide two boot command line control knobs: nospec_store_bypass_disable spec_store_bypass_disable=[off,auto,on] By default affected x86 processors will power on with Speculative Store Bypass enabled.

2018-05-16arm64: Add work around for Arm Cortex-A55 Erratum 1024718Suzuki K Poulose
commit ece1397cbc89c51914fae1aec729539cfd8bd62b upstream. Some variants of the Arm Cortex-55 cores (r0p0, r0p1, r1p0) suffer from an erratum 1024718, which causes incorrect updates when DBM/AP bits in a page table entry is modified without a break-before-make sequence. The work around is to skip enabling the hardware DBM feature on the affected cores. The hardware Access Flag management features is not affected. There are some other cores suffering from this errata, which could be added to the midr_list to trigger the work around.

2018-05-01arm/arm64: KVM: Add PSCI version selection APIMarc Zyngier
commit 85bd0ba1ff9875798fad94218b627ea9f768f3c3 upstream. Although we've implemented PSCI 0.1, 0.2 and 1.0, we expose either 0.1 or 1.0 to a guest, defaulting to the latest version of the PSCI implementation that is compatible with the requested version. This is no different from doing a firmware upgrade on KVM. But in order to give a chance to hypothetical badly implemented guests that would have a fit by discovering something other than PSCI 0.2, let's provide a new API that allows userspace to pick one particular version of the API. This is implemented as a new class of "firmware" registers, where we expose the PSCI version. This allows the PSCI version to be save/restored as part of a guest migration, and also set to any supported version if the guest requires it.

2018-04-29s390: introduce CPU alternativesVasily Gorbik
[ Upstream commit 686140a1a9c41d85a4212a1c26d671139b76404b ] Implement CPU alternatives, which allows to optionally patch newer instructions at runtime, based on CPU facilities availability. A new kernel boot parameter "noaltinstr" disables patching. Current implementation is derived from x86 alternatives. Although ideal instructions padding (when altinstr is longer then oldinstr) is added at compile time, and no oldinstr nops optimization has to be done at runtime. Also couple of compile time sanity checks are done: 1. oldinstr and altinstr must be <= 254 bytes long, 2. oldinstr and altinstr must not have an odd length. alternative(oldinstr, altinstr, facility); alternative_2(oldinstr, altinstr1, facility1, altinstr2, facility2); Both compile time and runtime padding consists of either 6/4/2 bytes nop or a jump (brcl) + 2 bytes nop filler if padding is longer then 6 bytes. .altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement sections are part of __init_begin : __init_end region and are freed after initialization.

[ Upstream commit 9b28a1102efc75d81298198166ead87d643a29ce ] Fixes: 1. The use of "exceeds" when the opposite of exceeds, falls below, was meant. 2. Properly speaking, a table can not exceed a threshold. It emphasizes the important point, which is that it is the userspace daemon's responsibility to check for low free space when a device is resumed, since it won't get a special event indicating low free space in that situation.

2018-04-26KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Enable migration of decrementer registerPaul Mackerras
[ Upstream commit 5855564c8ab2d9cefca7b2933bd19818eb795e40 ] This adds a register identifier for use with the one_reg interface to allow the decrementer expiry time to be read and written by userspace. The decrementer expiry time is in guest timebase units and is equal to the sum of the decrementer and the guest timebase. (The expiry time is used rather than the decrementer value itself because the expiry time is not constantly changing, though the decrementer value is, while the guest vcpu is not running.) Without this, a guest vcpu migrated to a new host will see its decrementer set to some random value. On POWER8 and earlier, the decrementer is 32 bits wide and counts down at 512MHz, so the guest vcpu will potentially see no decrementer interrupts for up to about 4 seconds, which will lead to a stall. With POWER9, the decrementer is now 56 bits side, so the stall can be much longer (up to 2.23 years) and more noticeable. To help work around the problem in cases where userspace has not been updated to migrate the decrementer expiry time, we now set the default decrementer expiry at vcpu creation time to the current time rather than the maximum possible value. This should mean an immediate decrementer interrupt when a migrated vcpu starts running. In cases where the decrementer is 32 bits wide and more than 4 seconds elapse between the creation of the vcpu and when it first runs, the decrementer would have wrapped around to positive values and there may still be a stall - but this is no worse than the current situation. In the large-decrementer case, we are sure to get an immediate decrementer interrupt (assuming the time from vcpu creation to first run is less than 2.23 years) and we thus avoid a very long stall.
