2021-06-03tweewide: Fix most Shebang linesFinn Behrens
commit c25ce589dca10d64dde139ae093abc258a32869c upstream. Change every shebang which does not need an argument to use /usr/bin/env. This is needed as not every distro has everything under /usr/bin, sometimes not even bash.

2021-03-07sysfs: Add sysfs_emit and sysfs_emit_at to format sysfs outputJoe Perches
commit 2efc459d06f1630001e3984854848a5647086232 upstream. Output defects can exist in sysfs content using sprintf and snprintf. sprintf does not know the PAGE_SIZE maximum of the temporary buffer used for outputting sysfs content and it's possible to overrun the PAGE_SIZE buffer length. Add a generic sysfs_emit function that knows that the size of the temporary buffer and ensures that no overrun is done. Add a generic sysfs_emit_at function that can be used in multiple call situations that also ensures that no overrun is done. Validate the output buffer argument to be page aligned. Validate the offset len argument to be within the PAGE_SIZE buf.

2020-11-22powerpc/64s: flush L1D after user accessesNicholas Piggin
commit 9a32a7e78bd0cd9a9b6332cbdc345ee5ffd0c5de upstream. IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1 cache before it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction mechanism. It is not possible for an attacker to determine the contents of impermissible memory using this method, since these systems implement a combination of hardware and software security measures to prevent scenarios where protected data could be leaked. However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker induces the operating system to speculatively execute instructions using data that the attacker controls. This can be used for example to speculatively bypass "kernel user access prevention" techniques, as discovered by Anthony Steinhauser of Google's Safeside Project. This is not an attack by itself, but there is a possibility it could be used in conjunction with side-channels or other weaknesses in the privileged code to construct an attack. This issue can be mitigated by flushing the L1 cache between privilege boundaries of concern. This patch flushes the L1 cache after user accesses. This is part of the fix for CVE-2020-4788.

2020-11-18xen/events: defer eoi in case of excessive number of eventsJuergen Gross
commit e99502f76271d6bc4e374fe368c50c67a1fd3070 upstream. In case rogue guests are sending events at high frequency it might happen that xen_evtchn_do_upcall() won't stop processing events in dom0. As this is done in irq handling a crash might be the result. In order to avoid that, delay further inter-domain events after some time in xen_evtchn_do_upcall() by forcing eoi processing into a worker on the same cpu, thus inhibiting new events coming in. The time after which eoi processing is to be delayed is configurable via a new module parameter "event_loop_timeout" which specifies the maximum event loop time in jiffies (default: 2, the value was chosen after some tests showing that a value of 2 was the lowest with an only slight drop of dom0 network throughput while multiple guests performed an event storm). How long eoi processing will be delayed can be specified via another parameter "event_eoi_delay" (again in jiffies, default 10, again the value was chosen after testing with different delay values). This is part of XSA-332.

While the __setup() function would have been called for each clearcpuid= parameter on the command line, cmdline_find_option() will only return the last one, so the change effectively made it impossible to disable more than one bit. Allow a comma-separated list of bit numbers as the argument for clearcpuid to allow multiple bits to be disabled again. Log the bits being disabled for informational purposes. Also fix the check on the return value of cmdline_find_option(). It returns -1 when the option is not found, so testing as a boolean is incorrect.

2020-06-20x86/kvm/hyper-v: Explicitly align hcall param for kvm_hyperv_exitJon Doron
[ Upstream commit f7d31e65368aeef973fab788aa22c4f1d5a6af66 ] The problem the patch is trying to address is the fact that 'struct kvm_hyperv_exit' has different layout on when compiling in 32 and 64 bit modes. In 64-bit mode the default alignment boundary is 64 bits thus forcing extra gaps after 'type' and 'msr' but in 32-bit mode the boundary is at 32 bits thus no extra gaps. This is an issue as even when the kernel is 64 bit, the userspace using the interface can be both 32 and 64 bit but the same 32 bit userspace has to work with 32 bit kernel. The issue is fixed by forcing the 64 bit layout, this leads to ABI change for 32 bit builds and while we are obviously breaking '32 bit userspace with 32 bit kernel' case, we're fixing the '32 bit userspace with 64 bit kernel' one. As the interface has no (known) users and 32 bit KVM is rather baroque nowadays, this seems like a reasonable decision.

commit 7e5b3c267d256822407a22fdce6afdf9cd13f9fb upstream SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from the random number generator (RNG) across cores and threads. New microcode serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is released for reuse. While it is present on all affected CPU models, the microcode mitigation is not needed on models that enumerate ARCH_CAPABILITIES[MDS_NO] in the cases where TSX is not supported or has been disabled with TSX_CTRL. The mitigation is activated by default on affected processors and it increases latency for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions. Among other effects this will reduce throughput from /dev/urandom. * Enable administrator to configure the mitigation off when desired using either mitigations=off or srbds=off. * Export vulnerability status via sysfs * Rename file-scoped macros to apply for non-whitelist table initializations.

2020-04-24ALSA: doc: Document PC Beep Hidden Register on Realtek ALC256Thomas Hebb
commit f128090491c3f5aacef91a863f8c52abf869c436 upstream. This codec (among others) has a hidden set of audio routes, apparently designed to allow PC Beep output without a mixer widget on the output path, which are controlled by an undocumented Realtek vendor register. The default configuration of these routes means that certain inputs aren't accessible, necessitating driver control of the register. However, Realtek has provided no documentation of the register, instead opting to fix issues by providing magic numbers, most of which have been at least somewhat erroneous. These magic numbers then get copied by others into model-specific fixups, leading to a fragmented and buggy set of configurations. To get out of this situation, I've reverse engineered the register by flipping bits and observing how the codec's behavior changes. This commit documents my findings. It does not change any code.

2020-04-02dt-bindings: net: FMan erratum A050385Madalin Bucur
[ Upstream commit 26d5bb9e4c4b541c475751e015072eb2cbf70d15 ] FMAN DMA read or writes under heavy traffic load may cause FMAN internal resource leak; thus stopping further packet processing. The FMAN internal queue can overflow when FMAN splits single read or write transactions into multiple smaller transactions such that more than 17 AXI transactions are in flight from FMAN to interconnect. When the FMAN internal queue overflows, it can stall further packet processing. The issue can occur with any one of the following three conditions: 1. FMAN AXI transaction crosses 4K address boundary (Errata A010022) 2. FMAN DMA address for an AXI transaction is not 16 byte aligned, i.e. the last 4 bits of an address are non-zero 3. Scatter Gather (SG) frames have more than one SG buffer in the SG list and any one of the buffers, except the last buffer in the SG list has data size that is not a multiple of 16 bytes, i.e., other than 16, 32, 48, 64, etc. With any one of the above three conditions present, there is likelihood of stalled FMAN packet processing, especially under stress with multiple ports injecting line-rate traffic. To avoid situations that stall FMAN packet processing, all of the above three conditions must be avoided; therefore, configure the system with the following rules: 1. Frame buffers must not span a 4KB address boundary, unless the frame start address is 256 byte aligned 2. All FMAN DMA start addresses (for example, BMAN buffer address, FD[address] + FD[offset]) are 16B aligned 3. SG table and buffer addresses are 16B aligned and the size of SG buffers are multiple of 16 bytes, except for the last SG buffer that can be of any size. Additional workaround notes: - Address alignment of 64 bytes is recommended for maximally efficient system bus transactions (although 16 byte alignment is sufficient to avoid the stall condition) - To support frame sizes that are larger than 4K bytes, there are two options: 1. Large single buffer frames that span a 4KB page boundary can be converted into SG frames to avoid transaction splits at the 4KB boundary, 2. Align the large single buffer to 256B address boundaries, ensure that the frame address plus offset is 256B aligned. - If software generated SG frames have buffers that are unaligned and with random non-multiple of 16 byte lengths, before transmitting such frames via FMAN, frames will need to be copied into a new single buffer or multiple buffer SG frame that is compliant with the three rules listed above.

commit 64870ed1b12e235cfca3f6c6da75b542c973ff78 upstream. For MDS vulnerable processors with TSX support, enabling either MDS or TAA mitigations will enable the use of VERW to flush internal processor buffers at the right code path. IOW, they are either both mitigated or both not. However, if the command line options are inconsistent, the vulnerabilites sysfs files may not report the mitigation status correctly. For example, with only the "mds=off" option: vulnerabilities/mds:Vulnerable; SMT vulnerable vulnerabilities/tsx_async_abort:Mitigation: Clear CPU buffers; SMT vulnerable The mds vulnerabilities file has wrong status in this case. Similarly, the taa vulnerability file will be wrong with mds mitigation on, but taa off. Change taa_select_mitigation() to sync up the two mitigation status and have them turned off if both "mds=off" and "tsx_async_abort=off" are present. Update documentation to emphasize the fact that both "mds=off" and "tsx_async_abort=off" have to be specified together for processors that are affected by both TAA and MDS to be effective.

The page table pages corresponding to broken down large pages are zapped in FIFO order, so that the large page can potentially be recovered, if it is not longer being used for execution.

commit b8e8c8303ff28c61046a4d0f6ea99aea609a7dc0 upstream. With some Intel processors, putting the same virtual address in the TLB as both a 4 KiB and 2 MiB page can confuse the instruction fetch unit and cause the processor to issue a machine check resulting in a CPU lockup. Unfortunately when EPT page tables use huge pages, it is possible for a malicious guest to cause this situation. Add a knob to mark huge pages as non-executable. When the nx_huge_pages parameter is enabled (and we are using EPT), all huge pages are marked as NX. If the guest attempts to execute in one of those pages, the page is broken down into 4K pages, which are then marked executable. This is not an issue for shadow paging (except nested EPT), because then the host is in control of TLB flushes and the problematic situation cannot happen. With nested EPT, again the nested guest can cause problems shadow and direct EPT is treated in the same way.

commit db4d30fbb71b47e4ecb11c4efa5d8aad4b03dfae upstream. Some processors may incur a machine check error possibly resulting in an unrecoverable CPU lockup when an instruction fetch encounters a TLB multi-hit in the instruction TLB. This can occur when the page size is changed along with either the physical address or cache type. The relevant erratum can be found here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205195 There are other processors affected for which the erratum does not fully disclose the impact. This issue affects both bare-metal x86 page tables and EPT. It can be mitigated by either eliminating the use of large pages or by using careful TLB invalidations when changing the page size in the page tables. Just like Spectre, Meltdown, L1TF and MDS, a new bit has been allocated in MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES (PSCHANGE_MC_NO) and will be set on CPUs which are mitigated against this issue.

2019-11-12sched/fair: Fix low cpu usage with high throttling by removing expiration of ↵Dave Chiluk
cpu-local slices commit de53fd7aedb100f03e5d2231cfce0e4993282425 upstream. It has been observed, that highly-threaded, non-cpu-bound applications running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints can hit a high percentage of periods throttled while simultaneously not consuming the allocated amount of quota. This use case is typical of user-interactive non-cpu bound applications, such as those running in kubernetes or mesos when run on multiple cpu cores. This has been root caused to cpu-local run queue being allocated per cpu bandwidth slices, and then not fully using that slice within the period. At which point the slice and quota expires. This expiration of unused slice results in applications not being able to utilize the quota for which they are allocated. The non-expiration of per-cpu slices was recently fixed by 'commit 512ac999d275 ("sched/fair: Fix bandwidth timer clock drift condition")'. Prior to that it appears that this had been broken since at least 'commit 51f2176d74ac ("sched/fair: Fix unlocked reads of some cfs_b->quota/period")' which was introduced in v3.16-rc1 in 2014. That added the following conditional which resulted in slices never being expired. if (cfs_rq->runtime_expires != cfs_b->runtime_expires) { /* extend local deadline, drift is bounded above by 2 ticks */ cfs_rq->runtime_expires += TICK_NSEC; Because this was broken for nearly 5 years, and has recently been fixed and is now being noticed by many users running kubernetes (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/67577) it is my opinion that the mechanisms around expiring runtime should be removed altogether. This allows quota already allocated to per-cpu run-queues to live longer than the period boundary. This allows threads on runqueues that do not use much CPU to continue to use their remaining slice over a longer period of time than cpu.cfs_period_us. However, this helps prevent the above condition of hitting throttling while also not fully utilizing your cpu quota. This theoretically allows a machine to use slightly more than its allotted quota in some periods. This overflow would be bounded by the remaining quota left on each per-cpu runqueueu. This is typically no more than min_cfs_rq_runtime=1ms per cpu. For CPU bound tasks this will change nothing, as they should theoretically fully utilize all of their quota in each period. For user-interactive tasks as described above this provides a much better user/application experience as their cpu utilization will more closely match the amount they requested when they hit throttling. This means that cpu limits no longer strictly apply per period for non-cpu bound applications, but that they are still accurate over longer timeframes. This greatly improves performance of high-thread-count, non-cpu bound applications with low cfs_quota_us allocation on high-core-count machines. In the case of an artificial testcase (10ms/100ms of quota on 80 CPU machine), this commit resulted in almost 30x performance improvement, while still maintaining correct cpu quota restrictions.

[ Upstream commit c6875f3aacf2a5a913205accddabf0bfb75cac76 ] Currently execution of panic() continues until Xen's panic notifier (xen_panic_event()) is called at which point we make a hypercall that never returns. This means that any notifier that is supposed to be called later as well as significant part of panic() code (such as pstore writes from kmsg_dump()) is never executed. There is no reason for xen_panic_event() to be this last point in execution since panic()'s emergency_restart() will call into xen_emergency_restart() from where we can perform our hypercall. Nevertheless, we will provide xen_legacy_crash boot option that will preserve original behavior during crash. This option could be used, for example, if running kernel dumper (which happens after panic notifiers) is undesirable.
