      x86/entry/64: Add missing irqflags tracing to native_load_gs_index() · ca37e57b
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      
      Running this code with IRQs enabled (where dummy_lock is a spinlock):
      
      static void check_load_gs_index(void)
      {
      	/* This will fail. */
      	load_gs_index(0xffff);
      
      	spin_lock(&dummy_lock);
      	spin_unlock(&dummy_lock);
      }
      
      Will generate a lockdep warning.  The issue is that the actual write
      to %gs would cause an exception with IRQs disabled, and the exception
      handler would, as an inadvertent side effect, update irqflag tracing
      to reflect the IRQs-off status.  native_load_gs_index() would then
      turn IRQs back on and return with irqflag tracing still thinking that
      IRQs were off.  The dummy lock-and-unlock causes lockdep to notice the
      error and warn.
      
      Fix it by adding the missing tracing.
      
      Apparently nothing did this in a context where it mattered.  I haven't
      tried to find a code path that would actually exhibit the warning if
      appropriately nasty user code were running.
      
      I suspect that the security impact of this bug is very, very low --
      production systems don't run with lockdep enabled, and the warning is
      mostly harmless anyway.
      
      Found during a quick audit of the entry code to try to track down an
      unrelated bug that Ingo found in some still-in-development code.

      x86/mm/kasan: Don't use vmemmap_populate() to initialize shadow · f68d62a5
      Andrey Ryabinin authored
      [ Note, this commit is a cherry-picked version of:
      
          d17a1d97: ("x86/mm/kasan: don't use vmemmap_populate() to initialize shadow")
      
        ... for easier x86 entry code testing and back-porting. ]
      
      The KASAN shadow is currently mapped using vmemmap_populate() since that
      provides a semi-convenient way to map pages into init_top_pgt.  However,
      since that no longer zeroes the mapped pages, it is not suitable for
      KASAN, which requires zeroed shadow memory.
      
      Add kasan_populate_shadow() interface and use it instead of
      vmemmap_populate().  Besides, this allows us to take advantage of
      gigantic pages and use them to populate the shadow, which should save us
      some memory wasted on page tables and reduce TLB pressure.

      x86/entry/64: Fix entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe() IRQ tracing · 548c3050
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      
      When I added entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe(), I left TRACE_IRQS_OFF
      before it.  This means that users of entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe()
      were responsible for invoking TRACE_IRQS_OFF, and the one and only
      user (Xen, added in the same commit) got it wrong.
      
      I think this would manifest as a warning if a Xen PV guest with
      CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y were used with context tracking.  (The
      context tracking bit is to cause lockdep to get invoked before we
      turn IRQs back on.)  I haven't tested that for real yet because I
      can't get a kernel configured like that to boot at all on Xen PV.
      
      Move TRACE_IRQS_OFF below the label.

      x86/mm: Limit mmap() of /dev/mem to valid physical addresses · be62a320
      Craig Bergstrom authored
      One thing /dev/mem access APIs should verify is that there's no way
      that excessively large pfn's can leak into the high bits of the
      page table entry.
      
      In particular, if people can use "very large physical page addresses"
      through /dev/mem to set the bits past bit 58 - SOFTW4 and permission
      key bits and NX bit, that could *really* confuse the kernel.
      
      We had an earlier attempt:
      
        ce56a86e ("x86/mm: Limit mmap() of /dev/mem to valid physical addresses")
      
      ... which turned out to be too restrictive (breaking mem=... bootups for example) and
      had to be reverted in:
      
        90edaac6 ("Revert "x86/mm: Limit mmap() of /dev/mem to valid physical addresses"")
      
      This v2 attempt modifies the original patch and makes sure that mmap(/dev/mem)

      x86/selftests: Add test for mapping placement for 5-level paging · 97f404ad
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      
      5-level paging provides a 56-bit virtual address space for user space
      application. But the kernel defaults to mappings below the 47-bit address
      space boundary, which is the upper bound for 4-level paging, unless an
      application explicitely request it by using a mmap(2) address hint above
      the 47-bit boundary. The kernel prevents mappings which spawn across the
      47-bit boundary unless mmap(2) was invoked with MAP_FIXED.
      
      Add a self-test that covers the corner cases of the interface and validates
      the correctness of the implementation.

      x86/mm: Prevent non-MAP_FIXED mapping across DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW border · 1e0f25db
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      In case of 5-level paging, the kernel does not place any mapping above
      47-bit, unless userspace explicitly asks for it.
      
      Userspace can request an allocation from the full address space by
      specifying the mmap address hint above 47-bit.
      
      Nicholas noticed that the current implementation violates this interface:
      
        If user space requests a mapping at the end of the 47-bit address space
        with a length which causes the mapping to cross the 47-bit border
        (DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW), then the vma is partially in the address space
        below and above.
      
      Sanity check the mmap address hint so that start and end of the resulting
      vma are on the same side of the 47-bit border. If that's not the case fall
      back to the code path which ignores the address hint and allocate from the
      regular address space below 47-bit.
      
      To make the checks consistent, mask out the address hints lower bits
      (either PAGE_MASK or huge_page_mask()) instead of using ALIGN() which can

      x86/umip: Identify the STR and SLDT instructions · 6e2a3064
      Ricardo Neri authored
      
      The STR and SLDT instructions are not emulated by the UMIP code, thus
      there's no functionality in the decoder to identify them.
      
      However, a subsequent commit will introduce a warning about the use
      of all the instructions that UMIP protect/changes, not only those that
      are emulated.
      
      A first step for that is to add the ability to decode/identify them.
      
      Plus, now that STR and SLDT are identified, we need to explicitly avoid
      their emulation (i.e., not rely on successful identification). Group
      together all the cases that we do not want to emulate: STR, SLDT and user
      long mode processes.

      x86 / CPU: Avoid unnecessary IPIs in arch_freq_get_on_cpu() · b29c6ef7
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      
      Even though aperfmperf_snapshot_khz() caches the samples.khz value to
      return if called again in a sufficiently short time, its caller,
      arch_freq_get_on_cpu(), still uses smp_call_function_single() to run it
      which may allow user space to trigger an IPI storm by reading from the
      scaling_cur_freq cpufreq sysfs file in a tight loop.
      
      To avoid that, move the decision on whether or not to return the cached
      samples.khz value to arch_freq_get_on_cpu().
      
      This change was part of commit 941f5f0f ("x86: CPU: Fix up "cpu MHz"
      in /proc/cpuinfo"), but it was not the reason for the revert and it
      remains applicable.

       "Yet another big pile of changes:
      
         - More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
           need to think about the syscalls themself.
      
         - A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
           only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
           than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
           multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
           time at the call site.
      
         - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
           work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.
      
         - A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
           collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
           simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few

      Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A rather large update for the interrupt core code and the irq chip drivers:
      
         - Add a new bitmap matrix allocator and supporting changes, which is
           used to replace the x86 vector allocator which comes with separate
           pull request. This allows to replace the convoluted nested loop
           allocation function in x86 with a facility which supports the
           recently added property of managed interrupts proper and allows to
           switch to a best effort vector reservation scheme, which addresses
           problems with vector exhaustion.
      
         - A large update to the ARM GIC-V3-ITS driver adding support for
           range selectors.
