init_espfix_ap() is currently off by one level when informing hypervisor
that allocated pages will be used for ministacks' page tables.
The most immediate effect of this on a PV guest is that if
'stack_page = __get_free_page()' returns a non-zeroed-out page the hypervisor
will refuse to use it for a page table (which it shouldn't be anyway). This will
result in warnings by both Xen and Linux.
More importantly, a subsequent write to that page (again, by a PV guest) is
likely to result in fatal page fault.

The PE/COFF headers currently describe only the initialised-data

With commit b6b8a1451f that introduced
vmx_check_nested_events, checks for injectable interrupts happen
at different points in time for L1 and L2 that could potentially
cause a race. The regression occurs because KVM_REQ_EVENT is always
set when nested_run_pending is set even if there's no pending interrupt.
Consequently, there could be a small window when check_nested_events
returns without exiting to L1, but an interrupt comes through soon
after and it incorrectly, gets injected to L2 by inject_pending_event
Fix this by adding a call to check for nested events too when a check
for injectable interrupt returns true

The 'sysret' fastpath does not correctly restore even all regular
registers, much less any segment registers or reflags values. That is
very much part of why it's faster than 'iret'.
Normally that isn't a problem, because the normal ptrace() interface
catches the process using the signal handler infrastructure, which
always returns with an iret.
However, some paths can get caught using ptrace_event() instead of the
signal path, and for those we need to make sure that we aren't going to
return to user space using 'sysret'. Otherwise the modifications that
may have been done to the register set by the tracer wouldn't
necessarily take effect.
Fix it by forcing IRET path by setting TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME from
arch_ptrace_stop_needed() which is invoked from ptrace_stop().

Currently, any NMI is falsely handled by a NMI handler of NMI watchdog
if CondChgd bit in MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR is set.
For example, we use external NMI to make system panic to get crash
dump, but in this case, the external NMI is falsely handled do to the
issue.
This commit deals with the issue simply by ignoring CondChgd bit.
Here is explanation in detail.
On x86 NMI watchdog uses performance monitoring feature to
periodically signal NMI each time performance counter gets overflowed.
intel_pmu_handle_irq() is called as a NMI_LOCAL handler from a NMI
handler of NMI watchdog, perf_event_nmi_handler(). It identifies an
owner of a given NMI by looking at overflow status bits in
MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR. If some of the bits are set, then it
handles the given NMI as its own NMI.
The problem is that the intel_pmu_handle_irq() doesn't distinguish
CondChgd bit from other bits. Unlike the other status bits, CondChgd
bit doesn't represent overflow status for performance counters. Thus,
CondChgd bit cannot be thought of as a mark indicating a given NMI is
NMI watchdog's.
As a result, if CondChgd bit is set, any NMI is falsely handled by the
NMI handler of NMI watchdog. Also, if type of the falsely handled NMI
is either NMI_UNKNOWN, NMI_SERR or NMI_IO_CHECK, the corresponding
action is never performed until CondChgd bit is cleared.
I noticed this behavior on systems with Ivy Bridge processors: Intel
Xeon CPU E5-2630 v2 and Intel Xeon CPU E7-8890 v2. On both systems,
CondChgd bit in MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR has already been set
in the beginning at boot. Then the CondChgd bit is immediately cleared
by next wrmsr to MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR and appears to remain
0.
On the other hand, on older processors such as Nehalem, Xeon E7540,
CondChgd bit is not set in the beginning at boot.
I'm not sure about exact behavior of CondChgd bit, in particular when
this bit is set. Although I read Intel System Programmer's Manual to
figure out that, the descriptions I found are:
In 18.9.1:
"The MSR_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR also provides a ¡sticky bit¢ to
indicate changes to the state of performancmonitoring hardware"
In Table 35-2 IA-32 Architectural MSRs
63 CondChg: status bits of this register has changed.
These are different from the bahviour I see on the actual system as I
explained above.
At least, I think ignoring CondChgd bit should be enough for NMI
watchdog perspective.

Mauro reported that his AMD X2 using the powernow-k8 cpufreq driver
locked up when doing cpu hotplug.
Because we called set_cyc2ns_scale() from the time_cpufreq_notifier()
unconditionally, it gets called multiple times for each freq change,
instead of only the once, when the tsc_khz value actually changes.
Because it gets called more than once, we run out of cyc2ns data slots
and stall, waiting for a free one, but because we're half way offline,
there's no consumers to free slots.
By placing the call inside the condition that actually changes tsc_khz
we avoid superfluous calls and avoid the problem.

vdso2c was checking for various types of relocations to detect when
the vdso had undefined symbols or was otherwise dependent on
relocation at load time. Undefined symbols in the vdso would fail if
accessed at runtime, and certain implementation errors (e.g. branch
profiling or incorrect symbol visibilities) could result in data
access through the GOT that requires relocations. This could be
as simple as:
extern char foo;
return foo;
Without some kind of visibility control, the compiler would assume
that foo could be interposed at load time and would generate a
relocation.
x86-64 and x32 (as opposed to i386) use explicit-addent (RELA) instead
of implicit-addent (REL) relocations for data access, and vdso2c
forgot to detect those.
Whether these bad relocations would actually fail at runtime depends
on what the linker sticks in the unrelocated references. Nonetheless,
these relocations have no business existing in the vDSO and should be
fixed rather than silently ignored.
This error could trigger on some configurations due to branch
profiling. The previous patch fixed that.

DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING turns off branch profiling (i.e. a
redefinition of 'if'). Branch profiling depends on a bunch of
kernel-internal symbols and generates extra output sections, none of
which are useful or functional in the vDSO.
It's currently turned off for vclock_gettime.c, but vgetcpu.c also
triggers branch profiling, so just turn it off in the makefile.
This fixes the build on some configurations: the vdso could contain
undefined symbols, and the fake section table overflowed due to
ftrace's added sections.

Sometimes it is preferred not to use the trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()
routine when one wants to avoid capturing a back trace for current. For
instance if one was previously captured recently.
This patch provides a new routine namely
trigger_allbutself_cpu_backtrace() which offers the flexibility to issue
an NMI to every cpu but current and capture a back trace accordingly.
Patch x86 and sparc to support new routine.

x86, vdso: Reimplement vdso.so preparation in build-time C
Contained this obvious typo:
- restorer = VDSO32_SYMBOL(current->mm->context.vdso, rt_sigreturn);
+ restorer = current->mm->context.vdso +
+ selected_vdso32->sym___kernel_sigreturn;

The bad syscall nr paths are their own incomprehensible route
through the entry control flow. Rearrange them to work just like
syscalls that return -ENOSYS.
This fixes an OOPS in the audit code when fast-path auditing is
enabled and sysenter gets a bad syscall nr (CVE-2014-4508).
This has probably been broken since Linux 2.6.27:

With this change, doing 'make vdso_install' and telling gdb:
set debug-file-directory /lib/modules/KVER/vdso
will enable vdso debugging with symbols. This is useful for
testing, but kernel RPM builds will probably want to manually delete
these symlinks or otherwise do something sensible when they strip
the vdso/*.so files.
If ld does not support --build-id, then the symlinks will not be
created.
Note that kernel packagers that use vdso_install may need to adjust
their packaging scripts to accomdate this change. For example,
Fedora's scripts create build-id symlinks themselves in a different
location, so the spec should probably be updated to remove the
symlinks created by make vdso_install.

.data doesn't need to be separate from .rodata: they're both readonly.
.altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement aren't needed by anything
except vdso2c; strip them from the final image.
While we're at it, rather than aligning the actual executable text,
just shove some unused-at-runtime data in between real data and
text.
My vdso image is still above 4k, but I'm disinclined to try to
trim it harder for 3.16. For future trimming, I suspect that these
sections could be moved to later in the file and dropped from
the in-memory image:
.gnu.version and .gnu.version_d (this may lose versions in gdb)
.eh_frame (should be harmless)
.eh_frame_hdr (I'm not really sure)
.hash (AFAIK nothing needs this section header)

Fully stripping the vDSO has other unfortunate side effects:
- binutils is unable to find ELF notes without a SHT_NOTE section.
- Even elfutils has trouble: it can find ELF notes without a section
table at all, but if a section table is present, it won't look for
PT_NOTE.
- gdb wants section names to match between stripped DSOs and their
symbols; otherwise it will corrupt symbol addresses.
We're also breaking the rules: section 0 is supposed to be SHT_NULL.
Fix these problems by building a better fake section table. While
we're at it, we might as well let buggy Go versions keep working well
by giving the SHT_DYNSYM entry the correct size.
This is a bit unfortunate: it adds quite a bit of size to the vdso
image.
If/when binutils improves and the improved versions become widespread,
it would be worth considering dropping most of this.

since it causes build errors with CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING and
that has been made from misunderstandings;
context_track_user_*() don't involve much in interrupt context,
it just returns if in_interrupt() is true.
Instead of changing the do_debug/int3(), this just adds
context_track_user_*() to kprobes blacklist, since those are
still can be called right before kprobes handles int3 and debug
exceptions, and probing those will cause an infinite loop.

The Go runtime has a buggy vDSO parser that currently segfaults.
This writes an empty SHT_DYNSYM entry that causes Go's runtime to
malfunction by thinking that the vDSO is empty rather than
malfunctioning by running off the end and segfaulting.
This affects x86-64 only as far as we know, so we do not need this for
