commit 9d8d0294e78a164d407133dea05caf4b84247d6a upstream.
On x86_64, all returns to usermode go through
prepare_exit_to_usermode(), with the sole exception of do_nmi().
This even includes machine checks -- this was added several years
ago to support MCE recovery. Update the documentation.

commit 88640e1dcd089879530a49a8d212d1814678dfe7 upstream.
The double fault ESPFIX path doesn't return to user mode at all --
it returns back to the kernel by simulating a #GP fault.
prepare_exit_to_usermode() will run on the way out of
general_protection before running user code.

commit e672f8bf71c66253197e503f75c771dd28ada4a0 upstream
Updated the documentation for a new CVE-2019-11091 Microarchitectural Data
Sampling Uncacheable Memory (MDSUM) which is a variant of
Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS). MDS is a family of side channel
attacks on internal buffers in Intel CPUs.
MDSUM is a special case of MSBDS, MFBDS and MLPDS. An uncacheable load from
memory that takes a fault or assist can leave data in a microarchitectural
structure that may later be observed using one of the same methods used by
MSBDS, MFBDS or MLPDS. There are no new code changes expected for MDSUM.
The existing mitigation for MDS applies to MDSUM as well.

commit 22dd8365088b6403630b82423cf906491859b65e upstream
In virtualized environments it can happen that the host has the microcode
update which utilizes the VERW instruction to clear CPU buffers, but the
hypervisor is not yet updated to expose the X86_FEATURE_MD_CLEAR CPUID bit
to guests.
Introduce an internal mitigation mode VMWERV which enables the invocation
of the CPU buffer clearing even if X86_FEATURE_MD_CLEAR is not set. If the
system has no updated microcode this results in a pointless execution of
the VERW instruction wasting a few CPU cycles. If the microcode is updated,
but not exposed to a guest then the CPU buffers will be cleared.
That said: Virtual Machines Will Eventually Receive Vaccine

commit 07f07f55a29cb705e221eda7894dd67ab81ef343 upstream
Add a static key which controls the invocation of the CPU buffer clear
mechanism on idle entry. This is independent of other MDS mitigations
because the idle entry invocation to mitigate the potential leakage due to
store buffer repartitioning is only necessary on SMT systems.
Add the actual invocations to the different halt/mwait variants which
covers all usage sites. mwaitx is not patched as it's not available on
Intel CPUs.
The buffer clear is only invoked before entering the C-State to prevent
that stale data from the idling CPU is spilled to the Hyper-Thread sibling
after the Store buffer got repartitioned and all entries are available to
the non idle sibling.
When coming out of idle the store buffer is partitioned again so each
sibling has half of it available. Now CPU which returned from idle could be
speculatively exposed to contents of the sibling, but the buffers are
flushed either on exit to user space or on VMENTER.
When later on conditional buffer clearing is implemented on top of this,
then there is no action required either because before returning to user
space the context switch will set the condition flag which causes a flush
on the return to user path.
Note, that the buffer clearing on idle is only sensible on CPUs which are
solely affected by MSBDS and not any other variant of MDS because the other
MDS variants cannot be mitigated when SMT is enabled, so the buffer
clearing on idle would be a window dressing exercise.
This intentionally does not handle the case in the acpi/processor_idle
driver which uses the legacy IO port interface for C-State transitions for
two reasons:
- The acpi/processor_idle driver was replaced by the intel_idle driver
almost a decade ago. Anything Nehalem upwards supports it and defaults
to that new driver.
- The legacy IO port interface is likely to be used on older and therefore
unaffected CPUs or on systems which do not receive microcode updates
anymore, so there is no point in adding that.

commit 6a9e529272517755904b7afa639f6db59ddb793e upstream
The Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) vulernabilities are mitigated by
clearing the affected CPU buffers. The mechanism for clearing the buffers
uses the unused and obsolete VERW instruction in combination with a
microcode update which triggers a CPU buffer clear when VERW is executed.
Provide a inline function with the assembly magic. The argument of the VERW
instruction must be a memory operand as documented:
"MD_CLEAR enumerates that the memory-operand variant of VERW (for
example, VERW m16) has been extended to also overwrite buffers affected
by MDS. This buffer overwriting functionality is not guaranteed for the
register operand variant of VERW."
Documentation also recommends to use a writable data segment selector:
"The buffer overwriting occurs regardless of the result of the VERW
permission check, as well as when the selector is null or causes a
descriptor load segment violation. However, for lowest latency we
recommend using a selector that indicates a valid writable data
segment."
Add x86 specific documentation about MDS and the internal workings of the
mitigation.

commit d52888aa2753e3063a9d3a0c9f72f94aa9809c15 upstream
On 5-level paging the LDT remap area is placed in the middle of the KASLR
randomization region and it can overlap with the direct mapping, the
vmalloc or the vmap area.
The LDT mapping is per mm, so it cannot be moved into the P4D page table
next to the CPU_ENTRY_AREA without complicating PGD table allocation for
5-level paging.
The 4 PGD slot gap just before the direct mapping is reserved for
hypervisors, so it cannot be used.
Move the direct mapping one slot deeper and use the resulting gap for the
LDT remap area. The resulting layout is the same for 4 and 5 level paging.

Pull x86 cache QoS (RDT/CAR) updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Add support for pseudo-locked cache regions.
Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) allows on certain CPUs to isolate a
region of cache and 'lock' it. Cache pseudo-locking builds on the fact
that a CPU can still read and write data pre-allocated outside its
current allocated area on cache hit. With cache pseudo-locking data
can be preloaded into a reserved portion of cache that no application
can fill, and from that point on will only serve cache hits. The cache
pseudo-locked memory is made accessible to user space where an
application can map it into its virtual address space and thus have a
region of memory with reduced average read latency.
The locking is not perfect and gets totally screwed by WBINDV and
similar mechanisms, but it provides a reasonable enhancement for
certain types of latency sensitive applications.
The implementation extends the current CAT mechanism and provides a
generally useful exclusive CAT mode on which it builds the extra
pseude-locked regions"

Currently, the notsc kernel parameter disables the use of the TSC by
sched_clock(). However, this parameter does not prevent the kernel from
accessing tsc in other places.
The only rationale to boot with notsc is to avoid timing discrepancies on
multi-socket systems where TSC are not properly synchronized, and thus
exclude TSC from being used for time keeping. But that prevents using TSC
as sched_clock() as well, which is not necessary as the core sched_clock()
implementation can handle non synchronized TSC based sched clocks just
fine.
However, there is another method to solve the above problem: booting with
tsc=unstable parameter. This parameter allows sched_clock() to use TSC and
just excludes it from timekeeping.
So there is no real reason to keep notsc, but for compatibility reasons the
parameter has to stay. Make it behave like 'tsc=unstable' instead.

The current NUMA emulation capabilities for splitting System RAM by a
fixed size or by a set number of nodes may result in some nodes being
larger than others. The implementation prioritizes establishing a
minimum usable memory size over satisfying the requested number of NUMA
nodes.
Introduce a uniform split capability that evenly partitions each
physical NUMA node into N emulated nodes. For example numa=fake=3U
creates 6 emulated nodes total on a system that has 2 physical nodes.
This capability is useful for debugging and evaluating platform
memory-side-cache capabilities as described by the ACPI HMAT (see
5.2.27.5 Memory Side Cache Information Structure in ACPI 6.2a)
Compare numa=fake=6 that results in only 5 nodes being created against
numa=fake=3U which takes the 2 physical nodes and evenly divides them.

When a resource group enters pseudo-locksetup mode it reflects that the
platform supports cache pseudo-locking and the resource group is unused,
ready to be used for a pseudo-locked region. Until it is set up as a
pseudo-locked region the resource group is "locked down" such that no new
tasks or cpus can be assigned to it. This is accomplished in a user visible
way by making the cpus, cpus_list, and tasks resctrl files inaccassible
(user cannot read from or write to these files).
When the resource group changes to pseudo-locked mode it represents a cache
pseudo-locked region. While not appropriate to make any changes to the cpus
assigned to this region it is useful to make it easy for the user to see
which cpus are associated with the pseudo-locked region.
Modify the permissions of the cpus/cpus_list file when the resource group
changes to pseudo-locked mode to support reading (not writing). The
information presented to the user when reading the file are the cpus
associated with the pseudo-locked region.

Deeper C-states impact cache content through shrinking of the cache or
flushing entire cache to memory before reducing power to the cache.
Deeper C-states will thus negatively impact the pseudo-locked regions.
To avoid impacting pseudo-locked regions C-states are limited on
pseudo-locked region creation so that cores associated with the
pseudo-locked region are prevented from entering deeper C-states.
This is accomplished by requesting a CPU latency target which will
prevent the core from entering C6 across all supported platforms.

By default resource groups allow sharing of their cache allocations. There
is nothing that prevents a resource group from configuring a cache
allocation that overlaps with that of an existing resource group.
To enable resource groups to specify that their cache allocations cannot be
shared a resource group "mode" is introduced to support two possible modes:
"shareable" and "exclusive". A "shareable" resource group allows sharing of
its cache allocations, an "exclusive" resource group does not. A new
resctrl file "mode" associated with each resource group is used to
communicate its (the associated resource group's) mode setting and allow
the mode to be changed. The new "mode" file as well as two other resctrl
files, "bit_usage" and "size", are introduced in this series.
Add documentation for the three new resctrl files as well as one example
demonstrating their use.

"An update for the Intel Resource Director Technolgy (RDT) which adds a
feedback driven software controller to runtime adjust the bandwidth

This makes the allocations more accurate and allows to use bandwidth

This is something drivers should decide (modulo chipset quirks like
for VIA), which as far as I can tell is how things have been handled
for the last 15 years.
Note that we keep the usedac option for now, as it is used in the wild
to override the too generic VIA quirk.

- Address a swiotlb regression which was caused by the recent DMA

- Fix a signedness bug in the APIC ID validation which caused invalid
APIC IDs to be detected as valid thereby bloating the CPU possible

- Fix inconsisten config dependcy/select magic for the MFD_CS5535

- Fix a corruption of the physical address space bits when encryption
has reduced the address space and late cpuinfo updates overwrite
the reduced bit information with the original value.
- Dominiks syscall rework which consolidates the architecture
specific syscall functions so all syscalls can be wrapped with the

and is incorrect according to the AMD manual.
- a PTI bugfix which disables the perf BTS facility if PTI is
enabled. The BTS AUX buffer is not globally visible and causes the
CPU to fault when the mapping disappears on switching CR3 to user
space. A full fix which restores BTS on PTI is non trivial and will
be worked on.

- removal of dead code in the PTI pagetable setup functions
- add PTI documentation
- add a selftest for vsyscall to verify that the kernel actually
implements what it advertises.
- a sysfs interface to expose vulnerability and mitigation
information so there is a coherent way for users to retrieve the

+ The ASM variants of retpoline and the conversion of affected ASM

+ Make LFENCE serializing on AMD so it can be used as speculation

- Use the proper cache flush methods for the debugstore buffers as
they are mapped/unmapped during runtime and not statically mapped
at boot time like the rest of the cpu entry area.
- Make the map layout of the cpu_entry_area consistent for 4 and 5
level paging and fix the KASLR vaddr_end wreckage.
- Use PER_CPU_EXPORT for per cpu variable and while at it unbreak
nvidia gfx drivers by dropping the GPL export. The subject line of

late.
- Fix the ASM alternative macros so they can be used in the middle of

vaddr_end for KASLR is only documented in the KASLR code itself and is
adjusted depending on config options. So it's not surprising that a change
of the memory layout causes KASLR to have the wrong vaddr_end. This can map
arbitrary stuff into other areas causing hard to understand problems.
Remove the whole ifdef magic and define the start of the cpu_entry_area to
be the end of the KASLR vaddr range.
Add documentation to that effect.

Since f06bdd4001c2 ("x86/mm: Adapt MODULES_END based on fixmap section size")
kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) could be not aligned to a page boundary.
So passing page unaligned address to kasan_populate_zero_shadow() have two
possible effects:
1) It may leave one page hole in supposed to be populated area. After commit

hole happens to be in the shadow covering fixmap area and leads to crash:

Note, the crash likely disappeared after commit 92a0f81d8957, which
changed kasan_populate_zero_shadow() call the way it was before
commit 21506525fb8d.
2) Attempt to load module near MODULES_END will fail, because
__vmalloc_node_range() called from kasan_module_alloc() will hit the
WARN_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in the vmap_pte_range() and bail out with error.
To fix this we need to make kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) page aligned
which means that MODULES_END should be 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned.
The whole point of commit f06bdd4001c2 was to move MODULES_END down if
NR_CPUS is big, so the cpu_entry_area takes a lot of space.
But since 92a0f81d8957 ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap")
the cpu_entry_area is no longer in fixmap, so we could just set
MODULES_END to a fixed 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned address.
Fixes: f06bdd4001c2 ("x86/mm: Adapt MODULES_END based on fixmap section size")

Pull x86 page table isolation updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the final set of enabling page table isolation on x86:
- Infrastructure patches for handling the extra page tables.
- Patches which map the various bits and pieces which are required to
get in and out of user space into the user space visible page
tables.
- The required changes to have CR3 switching in the entry/exit code.
- Optimizations for the CR3 switching along with documentation how
the ASID/PCID mechanism works.
- Updates to dump pagetables to cover the user space page tables for
W+X scans and extra debugfs files to analyze both the kernel and
the user space visible page tables
The whole functionality is compile time controlled via a config switch
and can be turned on/off on the command line as well"

With PTI enabled, the LDT must be mapped in the usermode tables somewhere.
The LDT is per process, i.e. per mm.
An earlier approach mapped the LDT on context switch into a fixmap area,
but that's a big overhead and exhausted the fixmap space when NR_CPUS got
big.
Take advantage of the fact that there is an address space hole which
provides a completely unused pgd. Use this pgd to manage per-mm LDT
mappings.
This has a down side: the LDT isn't (currently) randomized, and an attack
that can write the LDT is instant root due to call gates (thanks, AMD, for
leaving call gates in AMD64 but designing them wrong so they're only useful
for exploits). This can be mitigated by making the LDT read-only or
randomizing the mapping, either of which is strightforward on top of this
patch.
This will significantly slow down LDT users, but that shouldn't matter for
important workloads -- the LDT is only used by DOSEMU(2), Wine, and very
old libc implementations.

Shrink vmalloc space from 16384TiB to 12800TiB to enlarge the hole starting
at 0xff90000000000000 to be a full PGD entry.
A subsequent patch will use this hole for the pagetable isolation LDT
alias.
