2018-08-15KVM: VMX: Tell the nested hypervisor to skip L1D flush on vmentryPaolo Bonzini
commit 5b76a3cff011df2dcb6186c965a2e4d809a05ad4 upstream. When nested virtualization is in use, VMENTER operations from the nested hypervisor into the nested guest will always be processed by the bare metal hypervisor, and KVM's "conditional cache flushes" mode in particular does a flush on nested vmentry. Therefore, include the "skip L1D flush on vmentry" bit in KVM's suggested ARCH_CAPABILITIES setting. Add the relevant Documentation.

2018-08-15x86/bugs, kvm: Introduce boot-time control of L1TF mitigationsJiri Kosina
commit d90a7a0ec83fb86622cd7dae23255d3c50a99ec8 upstream. Introduce the 'l1tf=' kernel command line option to allow for boot-time switching of mitigation that is used on processors affected by L1TF. The possible values are: full Provides all available mitigations for the L1TF vulnerability. Disables SMT and enables all mitigations in the hypervisors. SMT control via /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control is still possible after boot. Hypervisors will issue a warning when the first VM is started in a potentially insecure configuration, i.e. SMT enabled or L1D flush disabled. full,force Same as 'full', but disables SMT control. Implies the 'nosmt=force' command line option. sysfs control of SMT and the hypervisor flush control is disabled. flush Leaves SMT enabled and enables the conditional hypervisor mitigation. Hypervisors will issue a warning when the first VM is started in a potentially insecure configuration, i.e. SMT enabled or L1D flush disabled. flush,nosmt Disables SMT and enables the conditional hypervisor mitigation. SMT control via /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control is still possible after boot. If SMT is reenabled or flushing disabled at runtime hypervisors will issue a warning. flush,nowarn Same as 'flush', but hypervisors will not warn when a VM is started in a potentially insecure configuration. off Disables hypervisor mitigations and doesn't emit any warnings. Default is 'flush'. Let KVM adhere to these semantics, which means: - 'lt1f=full,force' : Performe L1D flushes. No runtime control possible. - 'l1tf=full' - 'l1tf-flush' - 'l1tf=flush,nosmt' : Perform L1D flushes and warn on VM start if SMT has been runtime enabled or L1D flushing has been run-time enabled - 'l1tf=flush,nowarn' : Perform L1D flushes and no warnings are emitted. - 'l1tf=off' : L1D flushes are not performed and no warnings are emitted. KVM can always override the L1D flushing behavior using its 'vmentry_l1d_flush' module parameter except when lt1f=full,force is set. This makes KVM's private 'nosmt' option redundant, and as it is a bit non-systematic anyway (this is something to control globally, not on hypervisor level), remove that option. Add the missing Documentation entry for the l1tf vulnerability sysfs file while at it.

2018-08-15x86/KVM/VMX: Add module argument for L1TF mitigationKonrad Rzeszutek Wilk
commit a399477e52c17e148746d3ce9a483f681c2aa9a0 upstream. Add a mitigation mode parameter "vmentry_l1d_flush" for CVE-2018-3620, aka L1 terminal fault. The valid arguments are: - "always" L1D cache flush on every VMENTER. - "cond" Conditional L1D cache flush, explained below - "never" Disable the L1D cache flush mitigation "cond" is trying to avoid L1D cache flushes on VMENTER if the code executed between VMEXIT and VMENTER is considered safe, i.e. is not bringing any interesting information into L1D which might exploited.

2018-08-15x86/KVM: Warn user if KVM is loaded SMT and L1TF CPU bug being presentKonrad Rzeszutek Wilk
commit 26acfb666a473d960f0fd971fe68f3e3ad16c70b upstream. If the L1TF CPU bug is present we allow the KVM module to be loaded as the major of users that use Linux and KVM have trusted guests and do not want a broken setup. Cloud vendors are the ones that are uncomfortable with CVE 2018-3620 and as such they are the ones that should set nosmt to one. Setting 'nosmt' means that the system administrator also needs to disable SMT (Hyper-threading) in the BIOS, or via the 'nosmt' command line parameter, or via the /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control. See commit 05736e4ac13c ("cpu/hotplug: Provide knobs to control SMT"). Other mitigations are to use task affinity, cpu sets, interrupt binding, etc - anything to make sure that _only_ the same guests vCPUs are running on sibling threads.

2018-08-15Revert "x86/apic: Ignore secondary threads if nosmt=force"Thomas Gleixner
commit 506a66f374891ff08e064a058c446b336c5ac760 upstream. Dave Hansen reported, that it's outright dangerous to keep SMT siblings disabled completely so they are stuck in the BIOS and wait for SIPI. The reason is that Machine Check Exceptions are broadcasted to siblings and the soft disabled sibling has CR4.MCE = 0. If a MCE is delivered to a logical core with CR4.MCE = 0, it asserts IERR#, which shuts down or reboots the machine. The MCE chapter in the SDM contains the following blurb: Because the logical processors within a physical package are tightly coupled with respect to shared hardware resources, both logical processors are notified of machine check errors that occur within a given physical processor. If machine-check exceptions are enabled when a fatal error is reported, all the logical processors within a physical package are dispatched to the machine-check exception handler. If machine-check exceptions are disabled, the logical processors enter the shutdown state and assert the IERR# signal. When enabling machine-check exceptions, the MCE flag in control register CR4 should be set for each logical processor. Reverting the commit which ignores siblings at enumeration time solves only half of the problem. The core cpuhotplug logic needs to be adjusted as well. This thoughtful engineered mechanism also turns the boot process on all Intel HT enabled systems into a MCE lottery. MCE is enabled on the boot CPU before the secondary CPUs are brought up. Depending on the number of physical cores the window in which this situation can happen is smaller or larger. On a HSW-EX it's about 750ms: MCE is enabled on the boot CPU: [ 0.244017] mce: CPU supports 22 MCE banks The corresponding sibling #72 boots: [ 1.008005] .... node #0, CPUs: #72 That means if an MCE hits on physical core 0 (logical CPUs 0 and 72) between these two points the machine is going to shutdown. At least it's a known safe state. It's obvious that the early boot can be hit by an MCE as well and then runs into the same situation because MCEs are not yet enabled on the boot CPU. But after enabling them on the boot CPU, it does not make any sense to prevent the kernel from recovering. Adjust the nosmt kernel parameter documentation as well.

2018-08-15cpu/hotplug: Provide knobs to control SMTThomas Gleixner
commit 05736e4ac13c08a4a9b1ef2de26dd31a32cbee57 upstream. Provide a command line and a sysfs knob to control SMT. The command line options are: 'nosmt': Enumerate secondary threads, but do not online them 'nosmt=force': Ignore secondary threads completely during enumeration via MP table and ACPI/MADT. The sysfs control file has the following states (read/write): 'on': SMT is enabled. Secondary threads can be freely onlined 'off': SMT is disabled. Secondary threads, even if enumerated cannot be onlined 'forceoff': SMT is permanentely disabled. Writes to the control file are rejected. 'notsupported': SMT is not supported by the CPU The command line option 'nosmt' sets the sysfs control to 'off'. This can be changed to 'on' to reenable SMT during runtime. The command line option 'nosmt=force' sets the sysfs control to 'forceoff'. This cannot be changed during runtime. When SMT is 'on' and the control file is changed to 'off' then all online secondary threads are offlined and attempts to online a secondary thread later on are rejected. When SMT is 'off' and the control file is changed to 'on' then secondary threads can be onlined again. The 'off' -> 'on' transition does not automatically online the secondary threads. When the control file is set to 'forceoff', the behaviour is the same as setting it to 'off', but the operation is irreversible and later writes to the control file are rejected. When the control status is 'notsupported' then writes to the control file are rejected.

2018-06-28Revert changes to convert to ->poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLLLinus Torvalds
The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely unexplained. They also caused a huge performance regression, because "->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect calls. Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the "->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer to the poll head instead. That gets rid of one of the new indirections. But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted for the regular case. The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental redesign.

2018-06-26dt-bindings: soc: qcom: Fix default clock-freq for qcom,geni-i2cDouglas Anderson
In an early version of the I2C patch that was posted to the list the default I2C frequency (if none was specified) was 400 kHz. There was debate on the list and we decided that it would be more consistent with the rest of i2c if we defaulted to 100 kHz. ...but we never updated the bindings. Let's fix this. NOTE: since the i2c driver itself hasn't actually landed yet and the SoC here is very new it seems terribly unlikely that anyone was relying on the old 400 kHz number, so I'll assume this is an OK "incompatible" device tree change.
