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.

Metadata runs are supposed to be aligned on 4k boundary (so that they work
efficiently with disks with 4k sectors). However, there was a programming
bug that makes them aligned on 128k boundary instead. The unused space is
wasted.
Fix this bug by providing a proper 4k alignment. In order to keep
existing volumes working, we introduce a new flag SB_FLAG_FIXED_PADDING
- when the flag is clear, we calculate the padding the old way. In order
to make sure that the old version cannot mount the volume created by the
new version, we increase superblock version to 4.
Also in order to not break with old integritysetup, we fix alignment
only if the parameter "fix_padding" is present when formatting the
device.

Given that EFI_MEMORY_SP is platform BIOS policy decision for marking
memory ranges as "reserved for a specific purpose" there will inevitably
be scenarios where the BIOS omits the attribute in situations where it
is desired. Unlike other attributes if the OS wants to reserve this
memory from the kernel the reservation needs to happen early in init. So
early, in fact, that it needs to happen before e820__memblock_setup()
which is a pre-requisite for efi_fake_memmap() that wants to allocate
memory for the updated table.
Introduce an x86 specific efi_fake_memmap_early() that can search for
attempts to set EFI_MEMORY_SP via efi_fake_mem and update the e820 table
accordingly.
The KASLR code that scans the command line looking for user-directed
memory reservations also needs to be updated to consider
"efi_fake_mem=nn@ss:0x40000" requests.

UEFI 2.8 defines an EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute bit to augment the
interpretation of the EFI Memory Types as "reserved for a specific
purpose".
The proposed Linux behavior for specific purpose memory is that it is
reserved for direct-access (device-dax) by default and not available for
any kernel usage, not even as an OOM fallback. Later, through udev
scripts or another init mechanism, these device-dax claimed ranges can
be reconfigured and hot-added to the available System-RAM with a unique
node identifier. This device-dax management scheme implements "soft" in
the "soft reserved" designation by allowing some or all of the
reservation to be recovered as typical memory. This policy can be
disabled at compile-time with CONFIG_EFI_SOFT_RESERVE=n, or runtime with
efi=nosoftreserve.
As for this patch, define the common helpers to determine if the
EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute should be honored. The determination needs to be
made early to prevent the kernel from being loaded into soft-reserved
memory, or otherwise allowing early allocations to land there. Follow-on
changes are needed per architecture to leverage these helpers in their
respective mem-init paths.

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.

Prior to eed85ff4c0 ("PCI/DPC: Enable DPC only if AER is available"),
Linux handled DPC events regardless of whether firmware had granted it
ownership of AER or DPC, e.g., via _OSC.
PCIe r5.0, sec 6.2.10, recommends that the OS link control of DPC to
control of AER, so after eed85ff4c0, Linux handles DPC events only if it
has control of AER.
On platforms that do not grant OS control of AER via _OSC, Linux DPC
handling worked before eed85ff4c0 but not after.
To make Linux DPC handling work on those platforms the same way they did
before, add a "pcie_ports=dpc-native" kernel parameter that makes Linux
handle DPC events regardless of whether it has control of AER.

cgroup v2 introduces two memory protection thresholds: memory.low
(best-effort) and memory.min (hard protection). While they generally do
what they say on the tin, there is a limitation in their implementation
that makes them difficult to use effectively: that cliff behaviour often
manifests when they become eligible for reclaim. This patch implements
more intuitive and usable behaviour, where we gradually mount more
reclaim pressure as cgroups further and further exceed their protection
thresholds.
This cliff edge behaviour happens because we only choose whether or not
to reclaim based on whether the memcg is within its protection limits
(see the use of mem_cgroup_protected in shrink_node), but we don't vary
our reclaim behaviour based on this information. Imagine the following
timeline, with the numbers the lruvec size in this zone:
1. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=999999. 0 pages may be scanned.
2. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000000. 0 pages may be scanned.
3. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000001. 1000001* pages may be
scanned. (?!)
* Of course, we won't usually scan all available pages in the zone even
without this patch because of scan control priority, over-reclaim
protection, etc. However, as shown by the tests at the end, these
techniques don't sufficiently throttle such an extreme change in input,
so cliff-like behaviour isn't really averted by their existence alone.
Here's an example of how this plays out in practice. At Facebook, we are
trying to protect various workloads from "system" software, like
configuration management tools, metric collectors, etc (see this[0] case
study). In order to find a suitable memory.low value, we start by
determining the expected memory range within which the workload will be
comfortable operating. This isn't an exact science -- memory usage deemed
"comfortable" will vary over time due to user behaviour, differences in
composition of work, etc, etc. As such we need to ballpark memory.low,
but doing this is currently problematic:
1. If we end up setting it too low for the workload, it won't have
*any* effect (see discussion above). The group will receive the full
weight of reclaim and won't have any priority while competing with the
less important system software, as if we had no memory.low configured
at all.
2. Because of this behaviour, we end up erring on the side of setting
it too high, such that the comfort range is reliably covered. However,
protected memory is completely unavailable to the rest of the system,
so we might cause undue memory and IO pressure there when we *know* we
have some elasticity in the workload.
3. Even if we get the value totally right, smack in the middle of the
comfort zone, we get extreme jumps between no pressure and full
pressure that cause unpredictable pressure spikes in the workload due
to the current binary reclaim behaviour.
With this patch, we can set it to our ballpark estimation without too much
worry. Any undesirable behaviour, such as too much or too little reclaim
pressure on the workload or system will be proportional to how far our
estimation is off. This means we can set memory.low much more
conservatively and thus waste less resources *without* the risk of the
workload falling off a cliff if we overshoot.
As a more abstract technical description, this unintuitive behaviour
results in having to give high-priority workloads a large protection
buffer on top of their expected usage to function reliably, as otherwise
we have abrupt periods of dramatically increased memory pressure which
hamper performance. Having to set these thresholds so high wastes
resources and generally works against the principle of work conservation.
In addition, having proportional memory reclaim behaviour has other
benefits. Most notably, before this patch it's basically mandatory to set
memory.low to a higher than desirable value because otherwise as soon as
you exceed memory.low, all protection is lost, and all pages are eligible
to scan again. By contrast, having a gradual ramp in reclaim pressure
means that you now still get some protection when thresholds are exceeded,
which means that one can now be more comfortable setting memory.low to
lower values without worrying that all protection will be lost. This is
important because workingset size is really hard to know exactly,
especially with variable workloads, so at least getting *some* protection
if your workingset size grows larger than you expect increases user
confidence in setting memory.low without a huge buffer on top being
needed.
Thanks a lot to Johannes Weiner and Tejun Heo for their advice and
assistance in thinking about how to make this work better.
In testing these changes, I intended to verify that:
1. Changes in page scanning become gradual and proportional instead of
binary.
To test this, I experimented stepping further and further down
memory.low protection on a workload that floats around 19G workingset
when under memory.low protection, watching page scan rates for the
workload cgroup:
+------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+
| memory.low | test (pgscan/s) | control (pgscan/s) | % of control |
+------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+
| 21G | 0 | 0 | N/A |
| 17G | 867 | 3799 | 23% |
| 12G | 1203 | 3543 | 34% |
| 8G | 2534 | 3979 | 64% |
| 4G | 3980 | 4147 | 96% |
| 0 | 3799 | 3980 | 95% |
+------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+
As you can see, the test kernel (with a kernel containing this
patch) ramps up page scanning significantly more gradually than the
control kernel (without this patch).
2. More gradual ramp up in reclaim aggression doesn't result in
premature OOMs.
To test this, I wrote a script that slowly increments the number of
pages held by stress(1)'s --vm-keep mode until a production system
entered severe overall memory contention. This script runs in a highly
protected slice taking up the majority of available system memory.
Watching vmstat revealed that page scanning continued essentially
nominally between test and control, without causing forward reclaim
progress to become arrested.

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.

Add device links after the devices are created (but before they are
probed) by looking at common DT bindings like clocks and
interconnects.
Automatically adding device links for functional dependencies at the
framework level provides the following benefits:
- Optimizes device probe order and avoids the useless work of
attempting probes of devices that will not probe successfully
(because their suppliers aren't present or haven't probed yet).
For example, in a commonly available mobile SoC, registering just
one consumer device's driver at an initcall level earlier than the
supplier device's driver causes 11 failed probe attempts before the
consumer device probes successfully. This was with a kernel with all
the drivers statically compiled in. This problem gets a lot worse if
all the drivers are loaded as modules without direct symbol
dependencies.
- Supplier devices like clock providers, interconnect providers, etc
need to keep the resources they provide active and at a particular
state(s) during boot up even if their current set of consumers don't
request the resource to be active. This is because the rest of the
consumers might not have probed yet and turning off the resource
before all the consumers have probed could lead to a hang or
undesired user experience.
Some frameworks (Eg: regulator) handle this today by turning off
"unused" resources at late_initcall_sync and hoping all the devices
have probed by then. This is not a valid assumption for systems with
loadable modules. Other frameworks (Eg: clock) just don't handle
this due to the lack of a clear signal for when they can turn off
resources. This leads to downstream hacks to handle cases like this
that can easily be solved in the upstream kernel.
By linking devices before they are probed, we give suppliers a clear
count of the number of dependent consumers. Once all of the
consumers are active, the suppliers can turn off the unused
resources without making assumptions about the number of consumers.
By default we just add device-links to track "driver presence" (probe
succeeded) of the supplier device. If any other functionality provided
by device-links are needed, it is left to the consumer/supplier
devices to change the link when they probe.

Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
"This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.
From the original description:
This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.
The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
to not requiring external patches.
There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:
- Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/
- Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.
The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
permitted.
The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:
lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}
Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.
This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
overriden by kernel configuration.
New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
include/linux/security.h for details.
The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.
Stephen Rothwell noted that commit 9d1f8be5cf ("bpf: Restrict bpf
when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode") is missing a
Signed-off-by from its author. Matthew responded that he is providing

Cgroup v1 memcg controller has exposed a dedicated kmem limit to users
which turned out to be really a bad idea because there are paths which
cannot shrink the kernel memory usage enough to get below the limit (e.g.
because the accounted memory is not reclaimable). There are cases when
the failure is even not allowed (e.g. __GFP_NOFAIL). This means that the
kmem limit is in excess to the hard limit without any way to shrink and
thus completely useless. OOM killer cannot be invoked to handle the
situation because that would lead to a premature oom killing.
As a result many places might see ENOMEM returning from kmalloc and result
in unexpected errors. E.g. a global OOM killer when there is a lot of
free memory because ENOMEM is translated into VM_FAULT_OOM in #PF path and
therefore pagefault_out_of_memory would result in OOM killer.
Please note that the kernel memory is still accounted to the overall limit
along with the user memory so removing the kmem specific limit should
still allow to contain kernel memory consumption. Unlike the kmem one,
though, it invokes memory reclaim and targeted memcg oom killing if
necessary.
Start the deprecation process by crying to the kernel log. Let's see
whether there are relevant usecases and simply return to EINVAL in the
second stage if nobody complains in few releases.

The debug_pagealloc functionality is useful to catch buggy page allocator
users that cause e.g. use after free or double free. When page
inconsistency is detected, debugging is often simpler by knowing the call
stack of process that last allocated and freed the page. When page_owner
is also enabled, we record the allocation stack trace, but not freeing.
This patch therefore adds recording of freeing process stack trace to page
owner info, if both page_owner and debug_pagealloc are configured and
enabled. With only page_owner enabled, this info is not useful for the
memory leak debugging use case. dump_page() is adjusted to print the
info. An example result of calling __free_pages() twice may look like
this (note the page last free stack trace):

RST conversion is happily mostly behind us.
- A new document on reproducible builds.
- We finally got around to zapping the documentation for hardware support
that was removed in 2004; one doesn't want to rush these things.
- The usual assortment of fixes, typo corrections, etc.
You'll still find a handful of annoying conflicts against other trees,
mostly tied to the last RST conversions; resolutions are straightforward
and the linux-next ones are good.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
- MAINTAINERS: Add Mark Rutland as perf submaintainer, Juri Lelli and
Vincent Guittot as scheduler submaintainers. Add Dietmar Eggemann,
Steven Rostedt, Ben Segall and Mel Gorman as scheduler reviewers.
As perf and the scheduler is getting bigger and more complex,
document the status quo of current responsibilities and interests,
and spread the review pain^H^H^H^H fun via an increase in the Cc:
linecount generated by scripts/get_maintainer.pl. :-)
- Add another series of patches that brings the -rt (PREEMPT_RT) tree
closer to mainline: split the monolithic CONFIG_PREEMPT dependencies
into a new CONFIG_PREEMPTION category that will allow the eventual
introduction of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Still a few more hundred patches
to go though.
- Extend the CPU cgroup controller with uclamp.min and uclamp.max to
allow the finer shaping of CPU bandwidth usage.
- Micro-optimize energy-aware wake-ups from O(CPUS^2) to O(CPUS).
- Improve the behavior of high CPU count, high thread count
applications running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints.
- Improve balancing with SCHED_IDLE (SCHED_BATCH) tasks present.
- Improve CPU isolation housekeeping CPU allocation NUMA locality.
- Fix deadline scheduler bandwidth calculations and logic when cpusets
rebuilds the topology, or when it gets deadline-throttled while it's
being offlined.
- Convert the cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem, to allow it to be used from
setscheduler() system calls without creating global serialization.
Add new synchronization between cpuset topology-changing events and
the deadline acceptance tests in setscheduler(), which were broken
before.
- Rework the active_mm state machine to be less confusing and more
optimal.
- Rework (simplify) the pick_next_task() slowpath.
- Improve load-balancing on AMD EPYC systems.
- ... and misc cleanups, smaller fixes and improvements - please see
the Git log for more details.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"Although there isn't tonnes of code in terms of line count, there are
a fair few headline features which I've noted both in the tag and also
in the merge commits when I pulled everything together.
The part I'm most pleased with is that we had 35 contributors this
time around, which feels like a big jump from the usual small group of
core arm64 arch developers. Hopefully they all enjoyed it so much that
they'll continue to contribute, but we'll see.

Add the dm-clone target, which allows cloning of arbitrary block
devices.
dm-clone produces a one-to-one copy of an existing, read-only source
device into a writable destination device: It presents a virtual block
device which makes all data appear immediately, and redirects reads and
writes accordingly.
The main use case of dm-clone is to clone a potentially remote,
high-latency, read-only, archival-type block device into a writable,
fast, primary-type device for fast, low-latency I/O. The cloned device
is visible/mountable immediately and the copy of the source device to
the destination device happens in the background, in parallel with user
I/O.
When the cloning completes, the dm-clone table can be removed altogether
and be replaced, e.g., by a linear table, mapping directly to the
destination device.
For further information and examples of how to use dm-clone, please read
Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/dm-clone.rst

This advice is obsolete and slightly harmful for filesystems from this

requiring fsck -- and on the other hand, trying to write to the disk when

Introduce two options to control the use of the tlbie instruction. A
boot time option which completely disables the kernel using the
instruction, this is currently incompatible with HASH MMU, KVM, and
coherent accelerators.
And a debugfs option can be switched at runtime and avoids using tlbie
for invalidating CPU TLBs for normal process and kernel address
mappings. Coherent accelerators are still managed with tlbie, as will
KVM partition scope translations.
Cross-CPU TLB flushing is implemented with IPIs and tlbiel. This is a
basic implementation which does not attempt to make any optimisation
beyond the tlbie implementation.
This is useful for performance testing among other things. For example
in certain situations on large systems, using IPIs may be faster than
tlbie as they can be directed rather than broadcast. Later we may also
take advantage of the IPIs to do more interesting things such as trim
the mm cpumask more aggressively.

Introduce support for LINFlex driver, based on:
- the version of Freescale LPUART driver after commit b3e3bf2ef2 ("Merge
4.0-rc7 into tty-next");
- commit abf1e0a980 ("tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: lock port on console
write").
In this basic version, the driver can be tested using initramfs and relies
on the clocks and pin muxing set up by U-Boot.
Remarks concerning the earlycon support:
- LinFlexD does not allow character transmissions in the INIT mode (see
section 47.4.2.1 in the reference manual[1]). Therefore, a mutual
exclusion between the first linflex_setup_watermark/linflex_set_termios
executions and linflex_earlycon_putchar was employed and the characters
normally sent to earlycon during initialization are kept in a buffer and
sent afterwards.
- Empirically, character transmission is also forbidden within the last 1-2
ms before entering the INIT mode, so we use an explicit timeout
(PREINIT_DELAY) between linflex_earlycon_putchar and the first call to
linflex_setup_watermark.
- U-Boot currently uses the UART FIFO mode, while this driver makes the
transition to the buffer mode. Therefore, the earlycon putchar function
matches the U-Boot behavior before initializations and the Linux behavior
after.

The cgroup CPU bandwidth controller allows to assign a specified
(maximum) bandwidth to the tasks of a group. However this bandwidth is
defined and enforced only on a temporal base, without considering the
actual frequency a CPU is running on. Thus, the amount of computation
completed by a task within an allocated bandwidth can be very different
depending on the actual frequency the CPU is running that task.
The amount of computation can be affected also by the specific CPU a
task is running on, especially when running on asymmetric capacity
systems like Arm's big.LITTLE.
With the availability of schedutil, the scheduler is now able
to drive frequency selections based on actual task utilization.
Moreover, the utilization clamping support provides a mechanism to
bias the frequency selection operated by schedutil depending on
constraints assigned to the tasks currently RUNNABLE on a CPU.
Giving the mechanisms described above, it is now possible to extend the
cpu controller to specify the minimum (or maximum) utilization which
should be considered for tasks RUNNABLE on a cpu.
This makes it possible to better defined the actual computational
power assigned to task groups, thus improving the cgroup CPU bandwidth
controller which is currently based just on time constraints.
Extend the CPU controller with a couple of new attributes uclamp.{min,max}
which allow to enforce utilization boosting and capping for all the
tasks in a group.
Specifically:
- uclamp.min: defines the minimum utilization which should be considered
i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run at least at a
minimum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.min
utilization
- uclamp.max: defines the maximum utilization which should be considered
i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run up to a
maximum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.max
utilization
These attributes:
a) are available only for non-root nodes, both on default and legacy
hierarchies, while system wide clamps are defined by a generic
interface which does not depends on cgroups. This system wide
interface enforces constraints on tasks in the root node.
b) enforce effective constraints at each level of the hierarchy which
are a restriction of the group requests considering its parent's
effective constraints. Root group effective constraints are defined
by the system wide interface.
This mechanism allows each (non-root) level of the hierarchy to:
- request whatever clamp values it would like to get
- effectively get only up to the maximum amount allowed by its parent
c) have higher priority than task-specific clamps, defined via
sched_setattr(), thus allowing to control and restrict task requests.
Add two new attributes to the cpu controller to collect "requested"
clamp values. Allow that at each non-root level of the hierarchy.
Keep it simple by not caring now about "effective" values computation
and propagation along the hierarchy.
Update sysctl_sched_uclamp_handler() to use the newly introduced
uclamp_mutex so that we serialize system default updates with cgroup
relate updates.

Add a script which can be used to generate device-specific iocost
linear model coefficients.
Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
This patchset implements IO cost model based work-conserving
proportional controller.
While io.latency provides the capability to comprehensively prioritize
and protect IOs depending on the cgroups, its protection is binary -
the lowest latency target cgroup which is suffering is protected at
the cost of all others. In many use cases including stacking multiple
workload containers in a single system, it's necessary to distribute
IO capacity with better granularity.
One challenge of controlling IO resources is the lack of trivially
observable cost metric. The most common metrics - bandwidth and iops
- can be off by orders of magnitude depending on the device type and
IO pattern. However, the cost isn't a complete mystery. Given
several key attributes, we can make fairly reliable predictions on how
expensive a given stream of IOs would be, at least compared to other
IO patterns.
The function which determines the cost of a given IO is the IO cost
model for the device. This controller distributes IO capacity based
on the costs estimated by such model. The more accurate the cost
model the better but the controller adapts based on IO completion
latency and as long as the relative costs across differents IO
patterns are consistent and sensible, it'll adapt to the actual
performance of the device.
Currently, the only implemented cost model is a simple linear one with
a few sets of default parameters for different classes of device.
This covers most common devices reasonably well. All the
infrastructure to tune and add different cost models is already in
place and a later patch will also allow using bpf progs for cost
models.
Please see the top comment in blk-iocost.c and documentation for
more details.

- Address a boot problem on machines with broken E820 tables caused

- Handle machines which do not advertise a legacy timer of any form,
but need calibration of the local APIC timer gracefully by making
the calibration routine independent from the tick interrupt. Marked

rolled out which expose this.
- Clear the RDRAND CPUID bit on AMD family 15h and 16h CPUs which are
affected by broken firmware which does not initialize RDRAND
correctly after resume. Add a command line parameter to override
this for machine which either do not use suspend/resume or have a
fixed BIOS. Unfortunately there is no way to detect this on boot,
so the only safe decision is to turn it off by default.
- Prevent RFLAGS from being clobbers in CALL_NOSPEC on 32bit which
caused fast KVM instruction emulation to break.
- Explain the Intel CPU model naming convention so that the repeating
discussions come to an end"

The verification is to support cases where the root hash is not secured
by Trusted Boot, UEFI Secureboot or similar technologies.
One of the use cases for this is for dm-verity volumes mounted after
boot, the root hash provided during the creation of the dm-verity volume
has to be secure and thus in-kernel validation implemented here will be
used before we trust the root hash and allow the block device to be
created.
The signature being provided for verification must verify the root hash
and must be trusted by the builtin keyring for verification to succeed.
The hash is added as a key of type "user" and the description is passed
to the kernel so it can look it up and use it for verification.
Adds CONFIG_DM_VERITY_VERIFY_ROOTHASH_SIG which can be turned on if root
hash verification is needed.
Kernel commandline dm_verity module parameter 'require_signatures' will
indicate whether to force root hash signature verification (for all dm
verity volumes).

There have been reports of RDRAND issues after resuming from suspend on
some AMD family 15h and family 16h systems. This issue stems from a BIOS
not performing the proper steps during resume to ensure RDRAND continues
to function properly.
RDRAND support is indicated by CPUID Fn00000001_ECX[30]. This bit can be
reset by clearing MSR C001_1004[62]. Any software that checks for RDRAND
support using CPUID, including the kernel, will believe that RDRAND is
not supported.
Update the CPU initialization to clear the RDRAND CPUID bit for any family
15h and 16h processor that supports RDRAND. If it is known that the family
15h or family 16h system does not have an RDRAND resume issue or that the
system will not be placed in suspend, the "rdrand=force" kernel parameter
can be used to stop the clearing of the RDRAND CPUID bit.
Additionally, update the suspend and resume path to save and restore the
MSR C001_1004 value to ensure that the RDRAND CPUID setting remains in
place after resuming from suspend.
Note, that clearing the RDRAND CPUID bit does not prevent a processor
that normally supports the RDRAND instruction from executing it. So any
code that determined the support based on family and model won't #UD.

In virtualization environment, PV extensions (drivers, interrupts,
timers, etc) are enabled in the majority of use cases which is the
best option.
However, in some cases (kexec not fully working, benchmarking)
we want to disable PV extensions. We have "xen_nopv" for that purpose
but only for XEN. For a consistent admin experience a common command
line parameter "nopv" set across all PV guest implementations is a
better choice.
There are guest types which just won't work without PV extensions,
like Xen PV, Xen PVH and jailhouse. add a "ignore_nopv" member to
struct hypervisor_x86 set to true for those guest types and call
the detect functions only if nopv is false or ignore_nopv is true.

The Xen tmem (transcendent memory) driver can be removed, as the
related Xen hypervisor feature never made it past the "experimental"
state and will be removed in future Xen versions (>= 4.13).
The xen-selfballoon driver depends on tmem, so it can be removed, too.

Since commit 2724273e8f ("vmcore: add API to collect hardware dump in
second kernel"), drivers are allowed to add device related dump data to
vmcore as they want by using the device dump API. This has a potential
issue, the data is stored in memory, drivers may append too much data
and use too much memory. The vmcore is typically used in a kdump kernel
which runs in a pre-reserved small chunk of memory. So as a result it
will make kdump unusable at all due to OOM issues.
So introduce new 'novmcoredd' command line option. User can disable
device dump to reduce memory usage. This is helpful if device dump is
using too much memory, disabling device dump could make sure a regular
vmcore without device dump data is still available.

Patch series "add init_on_alloc/init_on_free boot options", v10.
Provide init_on_alloc and init_on_free boot options.
These are aimed at preventing possible information leaks and making the
control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic.
Enabling either of the options guarantees that the memory returned by the
page allocator and SL[AU]B is initialized with zeroes. SLOB allocator
isn't supported at the moment, as its emulation of kmem caches complicates
handling of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches correctly.
Enabling init_on_free also guarantees that pages and heap objects are
initialized right after they're freed, so it won't be possible to access
stale data by using a dangling pointer.
As suggested by Michal Hocko, right now we don't let the heap users to
disable initialization for certain allocations. There's not enough
evidence that doing so can speed up real-life cases, and introducing ways
to opt-out may result in things going out of control.
This patch (of 2):
The new options are needed to prevent possible information leaks and make
control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic.
This is expected to be on-by-default on Android and Chrome OS. And it
gives the opportunity for anyone else to use it under distros too via the
boot args. (The init_on_free feature is regularly requested by folks
where memory forensics is included in their threat models.)
init_on_alloc=1 makes the kernel initialize newly allocated pages and heap
objects with zeroes. Initialization is done at allocation time at the
places where checks for __GFP_ZERO are performed.
init_on_free=1 makes the kernel initialize freed pages and heap objects
with zeroes upon their deletion. This helps to ensure sensitive data
doesn't leak via use-after-free accesses.
Both init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 guarantee that the allocator
returns zeroed memory. The two exceptions are slab caches with
constructors and SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag. Those are never
zero-initialized to preserve their semantics.
Both init_on_alloc and init_on_free default to zero, but those defaults
can be overridden with CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON and
CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON.
If either SLUB poisoning or page poisoning is enabled, those options take
precedence over init_on_alloc and init_on_free: initialization is only
applied to unpoisoned allocations.
Slowdown for the new features compared to init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0:
hackbench, init_on_free=1: +7.62% sys time (st.err 0.74%)
hackbench, init_on_alloc=1: +7.75% sys time (st.err 2.14%)
Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +8.38% wall time (st.err 0.39%)
Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +24.42% sys time (st.err 0.52%)
Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: -0.13% wall time (st.err 0.42%)
Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: +0.57% sys time (st.err 0.40%)
The slowdown for init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0 compared to the baseline
is within the standard error.
The new features are also going to pave the way for hardware memory
tagging (e.g. arm64's MTE), which will require both on_alloc and on_free
hooks to set the tags for heap objects. With MTE, tagging will have the
same cost as memory initialization.
Although init_on_free is rather costly, there are paranoid use-cases where
in-memory data lifetime is desired to be minimized. There are various
arguments for/against the realism of the associated threat models, but
given that we'll need the infrastructure for MTE anyway, and there are
people who want wipe-on-free behavior no matter what the performance cost,
it seems reasonable to include it in this series.

The memory controller in cgroup v2 exposes memory.events file for each
memcg which shows the number of times events like low, high, max, oom
and oom_kill have happened for the whole tree rooted at that memcg.
Users can also poll or register notification to monitor the changes in
that file. Any event at any level of the tree rooted at memcg will
notify all the listeners along the path till root_mem_cgroup. There are
existing users which depend on this behavior.
However there are users which are only interested in the events
happening at a specific level of the memcg tree and not in the events in
the underlying tree rooted at that memcg. One such use-case is a
centralized resource monitor which can dynamically adjust the limits of
the jobs running on a system. The jobs can create their sub-hierarchy
for their own sub-tasks. The centralized monitor is only interested in
the events at the top level memcgs of the jobs as it can then act and
adjust the limits of the jobs. Using the current memory.events for such
centralized monitor is very inconvenient. The monitor will keep
receiving events which it is not interested and to find if the received
event is interesting, it has to read memory.event files of the next
level and compare it with the top level one. So, let's introduce
memory.events.local to the memcg which shows and notify for the events
at the memcg level.
Now, does memory.stat and memory.pressure need their local versions. IMHO
no due to the no internal process contraint of the cgroup v2. The
memory.stat file of the top level memcg of a job shows the stats and
vmevents of the whole tree. The local stats or vmevents of the top level
memcg will only change if there is a process running in that memcg but v2
does not allow that. Similarly for memory.pressure there will not be any
process in the internal nodes and thus no chance of local pressure.

When debug_pagealloc is enabled, we currently allocate the page_ext
array to mark guard pages with the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_GUARD flag. Now that
we have the page_type field in struct page, we can use that instead, as
guard pages are neither PageSlab nor mapped to userspace. This reduces
memory overhead when debug_pagealloc is enabled and there are no other
features requiring the page_ext array.

The previous commit added macro calls in the entry code which mitigate the
Spectre v1 swapgs issue if the X86_FEATURE_FENCE_SWAPGS_* features are
enabled. Enable those features where applicable.
The mitigations may be disabled with "nospectre_v1" or "mitigations=off".
There are different features which can affect the risk of attack:
- When FSGSBASE is enabled, unprivileged users are able to place any
value in GS, using the wrgsbase instruction. This means they can
write a GS value which points to any value in kernel space, which can
be useful with the following gadget in an interrupt/exception/NMI
handler:
if (coming from user space)
swapgs
mov %gs:<percpu_offset>, %reg1
// dependent load or store based on the value of %reg
// for example: mov %(reg1), %reg2
If an interrupt is coming from user space, and the entry code
speculatively skips the swapgs (due to user branch mistraining), it
may speculatively execute the GS-based load and a subsequent dependent
load or store, exposing the kernel data to an L1 side channel leak.
Note that, on Intel, a similar attack exists in the above gadget when
coming from kernel space, if the swapgs gets speculatively executed to
switch back to the user GS. On AMD, this variant isn't possible
because swapgs is serializing with respect to future GS-based
accesses.
NOTE: The FSGSBASE patch set hasn't been merged yet, so the above case
doesn't exist quite yet.
- When FSGSBASE is disabled, the issue is mitigated somewhat because
unprivileged users must use prctl(ARCH_SET_GS) to set GS, which
restricts GS values to user space addresses only. That means the
gadget would need an additional step, since the target kernel address
needs to be read from user space first. Something like:
if (coming from user space)
swapgs
mov %gs:<percpu_offset>, %reg1
mov (%reg1), %reg2
// dependent load or store based on the value of %reg2
// for example: mov %(reg2), %reg3
It's difficult to audit for this gadget in all the handlers, so while
there are no known instances of it, it's entirely possible that it
exists somewhere (or could be introduced in the future). Without
tooling to analyze all such code paths, consider it vulnerable.
Effects of SMAP on the !FSGSBASE case:
- If SMAP is enabled, and the CPU reports RDCL_NO (i.e., not
susceptible to Meltdown), the kernel is prevented from speculatively
reading user space memory, even L1 cached values. This effectively
disables the !FSGSBASE attack vector.
- If SMAP is enabled, but the CPU *is* susceptible to Meltdown, SMAP
still prevents the kernel from speculatively reading user space
memory. But it does *not* prevent the kernel from reading the
user value from L1, if it has already been cached. This is probably
only a small hurdle for an attacker to overcome.
Thanks to Dave Hansen for contributing the speculative_smap() function.
Thanks to Andrew Cooper for providing the inside scoop on whether swapgs
is serializing on AMD.

With vsyscall emulation on, a readable vsyscall page is still exposed that
contains syscall instructions that validly implement the vsyscalls.
This is required because certain dynamic binary instrumentation tools
attempt to read the call targets of call instructions in the instrumented
code. If the instrumented code uses vsyscalls, then the vsyscall page needs
to contain readable code.
Unfortunately, leaving readable memory at a deterministic address can be
used to help various ASLR bypasses, so some hardening value can be gained
by disallowing vsyscall reads.
Given how rarely the vsyscall page needs to be readable, add a mechanism to
make the vsyscall page be execute only.

Merge tag 'v5.2-rc4' into mauro
We need to pick up post-rc1 changes to various document files so they don't
get lost in Mauro's massive RST conversion push.
Convert all text files with s390 documentation to ReST format.
Tried to preserve as much as possible the original document
format. Still, some of the files required some work in order
for it to be visible on both plain text and after converted
to html.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

memory.stat and other files already consider subtrees in their output, and
we should too in order to not present an inconsistent interface.
The current situation is fairly confusing, because people interacting with
cgroups expect hierarchical behaviour in the vein of memory.stat,
cgroup.events, and other files. For example, this causes confusion when
debugging reclaim events under low, as currently these always read "0" at
non-leaf memcg nodes, which frequently causes people to misdiagnose breach
behaviour. The same confusion applies to other counters in this file when
debugging issues.
Aggregation is done at write time instead of at read-time since these
counters aren't hot (unlike memory.stat which is per-page, so it does it
at read time), and it makes sense to bundle this with the file
notifications.
After this patch, events are propagated up the hierarchy:
[root@ktst ~]# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/memory.events
low 0
high 0
max 0
oom 0
oom_kill 0
[root@ktst ~]# systemd-run -p MemoryMax=1 true
Running as unit: run-r251162a189fb4562b9dabfdc9b0422f5.service
[root@ktst ~]# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/memory.events
low 0
high 0
max 7
oom 1
oom_kill 1
As this is a change in behaviour, this can be reverted to the old
behaviour by mounting with the `memory_localevents' flag set. However, we
use the new behaviour by default as there's a lack of evidence that there
are any current users of memory.events that would find this change
undesirable.
akpm: this is a behaviour change, so Cc:stable. THis is so that
forthcoming distros which use cgroup v2 are more likely to pick up the
revised behaviour.

Some workloads need to change kthread priority for RCU core processing
without affecting other softirq work. This commit therefore introduces
the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter, which moves the RCU core
work from softirq to a per-CPU SCHED_OTHER kthread named rcuc. Use of
SCHED_OTHER approach avoids the scalability problems that appeared
with the earlier attempt to move RCU core processing to from softirq
to kthreads. That said, kernels built with RCU_BOOST=y will run the
rcuc kthreads at the RCU-boosting priority.
Note that rcutree.use_softirq=0 must be specified to move RCU core
processing to the rcuc kthreads: rcutree.use_softirq=1 is the default.

The maximum number of unique System V IPC identifiers was limited to
32k. That limit should be big enough for most use cases.
However, there are some users out there requesting for more, especially
those that are migrating from Solaris which uses 24 bits for unique
identifiers. To satisfy the need of those users, a new boot time kernel
option "ipcmni_extend" is added to extend the IPCMNI value to 16M. This
is a 512X increase which should be big enough for users out there that
need a large number of unique IPC identifier.
The use of this new option will change the pattern of the IPC
identifiers returned by functions like shmget(2). An application that
depends on such pattern may not work properly. So it should only be
used if the users really need more than 32k of unique IPC numbers.
This new option does have the side effect of reducing the maximum number
of unique sequence numbers from 64k down to 128. So it is a trade-off.
The computation of a new IPC id is not done in the performance critical
path. So a little bit of additional overhead shouldn't have any real
performance impact.

Patch series "mm: Randomize free memory", v10.
This patch (of 3):
Randomization of the page allocator improves the average utilization of
a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. Memory side caching is a platform
capability that Linux has been previously exposed to in HPC
(high-performance computing) environments on specialty platforms. In
that instance it was a smaller pool of high-bandwidth-memory relative to
higher-capacity / lower-bandwidth DRAM. Now, this capability is going
to be found on general purpose server platforms where DRAM is a cache in
front of higher latency persistent memory [1].
Robert offered an explanation of the state of the art of Linux
interactions with memory-side-caches [2], and I copy it here:
It's been a problem in the HPC space:
http://www.nersc.gov/research-and-development/knl-cache-mode-performance-coe/
A kernel module called zonesort is available to try to help:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/xeon-phi-software
and this abandoned patch series proposed that for the kernel:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170823100205.17311-1-lukasz.daniluk@intel.com
Dan's patch series doesn't attempt to ensure buffers won't conflict, but
also reduces the chance that the buffers will. This will make performance
more consistent, albeit slower than "optimal" (which is near impossible
to attain in a general-purpose kernel). That's better than forcing
users to deploy remedies like:
"To eliminate this gradual degradation, we have added a Stream
measurement to the Node Health Check that follows each job;
nodes are rebooted whenever their measured memory bandwidth
falls below 300 GB/s."
A replacement for zonesort was merged upstream in commit cc9aec03e5
("x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capability"). With this
numa_emulation capability, memory can be split into cache sized
("near-memory" sized) numa nodes. A bind operation to such a node, and
disabling workloads on other nodes, enables full cache performance.
However, once the workload exceeds the cache size then cache conflicts
are unavoidable. While HPC environments might be able to tolerate
time-scheduling of cache sized workloads, for general purpose server
platforms, the oversubscribed cache case will be the common case.
The worst case scenario is that a server system owner benchmarks a
workload at boot with an un-contended cache only to see that performance
degrade over time, even below the average cache performance due to
excessive conflicts. Randomization clips the peaks and fills in the
valleys of cache utilization to yield steady average performance.
Here are some performance impact details of the patches:
1/ An Intel internal synthetic memory bandwidth measurement tool, saw a
3X speedup in a contrived case that tries to force cache conflicts.
The contrived cased used the numa_emulation capability to force an
instance of the benchmark to be run in two of the near-memory sized
numa nodes. If both instances were placed on the same emulated they
would fit and cause zero conflicts. While on separate emulated nodes
without randomization they underutilized the cache and conflicted
unnecessarily due to the in-order allocation per node.
2/ A well known Java server application benchmark was run with a heap
size that exceeded cache size by 3X. The cache conflict rate was 8%
for the first run and degraded to 21% after page allocator aging. With
randomization enabled the rate levelled out at 11%.
3/ A MongoDB workload did not observe measurable difference in
cache-conflict rates, but the overall throughput dropped by 7% with
randomization in one case.
4/ Mel Gorman ran his suite of performance workloads with randomization
enabled on platforms without a memory-side-cache and saw a mix of some
improvements and some losses [3].
While there is potentially significant improvement for applications that
depend on low latency access across a wide working-set, the performance
may be negligible to negative for other workloads. For this reason the
shuffle capability defaults to off unless a direct-mapped
memory-side-cache is detected. Even then, the page_alloc.shuffle=0
parameter can be specified to disable the randomization on those systems.
Outside of memory-side-cache utilization concerns there is potentially
security benefit from randomization. Some data exfiltration and
return-oriented-programming attacks rely on the ability to infer the
location of sensitive data objects. The kernel page allocator, especially
early in system boot, has predictable first-in-first out behavior for
physical pages. Pages are freed in physical address order when first
onlined.
Quoting Kees:
"While we already have a base-address randomization
(CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY), attacks against the same hardware and
memory layouts would certainly be using the predictability of
allocation ordering (i.e. for attacks where the base address isn't
important: only the relative positions between allocated memory).
This is common in lots of heap-style attacks. They try to gain
control over ordering by spraying allocations, etc.
I'd really like to see this because it gives us something similar
to CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM but for the page allocator."
While SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM reduces the predictability of some local slab
caches it leaves vast bulk of memory to be predictably in order allocated.
However, it should be noted, the concrete security benefits are hard to
quantify, and no known CVE is mitigated by this randomization.
Introduce shuffle_free_memory(), and its helper shuffle_zone(), to perform
a Fisher-Yates shuffle of the page allocator 'free_area' lists when they
are initially populated with free memory at boot and at hotplug time. Do
this based on either the presence of a page_alloc.shuffle=Y command line
parameter, or autodetection of a memory-side-cache (to be added in a
follow-on patch).
The shuffling is done in terms of CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER sized free
pages where the default CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER is MAX_ORDER-1 i.e. 10,
4MB this trades off randomization granularity for time spent shuffling.
MAX_ORDER-1 was chosen to be minimally invasive to the page allocator
while still showing memory-side cache behavior improvements, and the
expectation that the security implications of finer granularity
randomization is mitigated by CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM. The
performance impact of the shuffling appears to be in the noise compared to
other memory initialization work.
This initial randomization can be undone over time so a follow-on patch is
introduced to inject entropy on page free decisions. It is reasonable to
ask if the page free entropy is sufficient, but it is not enough due to
the in-order initial freeing of pages. At the start of that process
putting page1 in front or behind page0 still keeps them close together,
page2 is still near page1 and has a high chance of being adjacent. As
more pages are added ordering diversity improves, but there is still high
page locality for the low address pages and this leads to no significant
impact to the cache conflict rate.

Pull x86 MDS mitigations from Thomas Gleixner:
"Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) is a hardware vulnerability
which allows unprivileged speculative access to data which is
available in various CPU internal buffers. This new set of misfeatures
has the following CVEs assigned:
CVE-2018-12126 MSBDS Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling
CVE-2018-12130 MFBDS Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling
CVE-2018-12127 MLPDS Microarchitectural Load Port Data Sampling
CVE-2019-11091 MDSUM Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory
MDS attacks target microarchitectural buffers which speculatively
forward data under certain conditions. Disclosure gadgets can expose
this data via cache side channels.
Contrary to other speculation based vulnerabilities the MDS
vulnerability does not allow the attacker to control the memory target
address. As a consequence the attacks are purely sampling based, but
as demonstrated with the TLBleed attack samples can be postprocessed
successfully.
The mitigation is to flush the microarchitectural buffers on return to
user space and before entering a VM. It's bolted on the VERW
instruction and requires a microcode update. As some of the attacks
exploit data structures shared between hyperthreads, full protection
requires to disable hyperthreading. The kernel does not do that by
default to avoid breaking unattended updates.
The mitigation set comes with documentation for administrators and a
deeper technical view"

ever executing userspace.
- KASAN support on 32-bit.
- Rework of where we map the kernel, vmalloc, etc. on 64-bit hash to use the
same address ranges we use with the Radix MMU.
- A rewrite into C of large parts of our idle handling code for 64-bit Book3S
(ie. power8 & power9).
- A fast path entry for syscalls on 32-bit CPUs, for a 12-17% speedup in the
null_syscall benchmark.
- On 64-bit bare metal we have support for recovering from errors with the time
base (our clocksource), however if that fails currently we hang in __delay()
and never crash. We now have support for detecting that case and short
circuiting __delay() so we at least panic() and reboot.
- Add support for optionally enabling the DAWR on Power9, which had to be
disabled by default due to a hardware erratum. This has the effect of
enabling hardware breakpoints for GDB, the downside is a badly behaved
program could crash the machine by pointing the DAWR at cache inhibited
memory. This is opt-in obviously.
- xmon, our crash handler, gets support for a read only mode where operations
that could change memory or otherwise disturb the system are disabled.
Plus many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Slightly delayed due to the issue with printk() calling
probe_kernel_read() interacting with our new user access prevention
stuff, but all fixed now.
The only out-of-area changes are the addition of a cpuhp_state, small
additions to Documentation and MAINTAINERS updates.
Highlights:
- Support for Kernel Userspace Access/Execution Prevention (like
SMAP/SMEP/PAN/PXN) on some 64-bit and 32-bit CPUs. This prevents
the kernel from accidentally accessing userspace outside
copy_to/from_user(), or ever executing userspace.
- KASAN support on 32-bit.
- Rework of where we map the kernel, vmalloc, etc. on 64-bit hash to
use the same address ranges we use with the Radix MMU.
- A rewrite into C of large parts of our idle handling code for
64-bit Book3S (ie. power8 & power9).
- A fast path entry for syscalls on 32-bit CPUs, for a 12-17% speedup
in the null_syscall benchmark.
- On 64-bit bare metal we have support for recovering from errors
with the time base (our clocksource), however if that fails
currently we hang in __delay() and never crash. We now have support
for detecting that case and short circuiting __delay() so we at
least panic() and reboot.
- Add support for optionally enabling the DAWR on Power9, which had
to be disabled by default due to a hardware erratum. This has the
effect of enabling hardware breakpoints for GDB, the downside is a
badly behaved program could crash the machine by pointing the DAWR
at cache inhibited memory. This is opt-in obviously.
- xmon, our crash handler, gets support for a read only mode where
operations that could change memory or otherwise disturb the system
are disabled.
Plus many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.

Adjust the last two rows in the table that display possible values when
MDS mitigation is enabled. They both were slightly innacurate.
In addition, convert the table of possible values and their descriptions
to a list-table. The simple table format uses the top border of equals
signs to determine cell width which resulted in the first column being
far too wide in comparison to the second column that contained the
majority of the text.

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.

There are a number of ACPI patches in here as well, as Rafael said they
should go through this tree due to the driver core changes they
required. They have all been acked by the ACPI developers.
There are also a number of small subsystem-specific changes in here, due
to some changes to the kobject core code. Those too have all been acked
by the various subsystem maintainers.
As for content, it's pretty boring outside of the ACPI changes:
- spdx cleanups
- kobject documentation updates
- default attribute groups for kobjects
- other minor kobject/driver core fixes
All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.

Add a new command-line option "xen_timer_slop=<INT>" that sets the
minimum delta of virtual Xen timers. This commit does not change the
default timer slop value for virtual Xen timers.
Lowering the timer slop value should improve the accuracy of virtual
timers (e.g., better process dispatch latency), but it will likely
increase the number of virtual timer interrupts (relative to the
original slop setting).
The original timer slop value has not changed since the introduction
of the Xen-aware Linux kernel code. This commit provides users an
opportunity to tune timer performance given the refinements to
hardware and the Xen event channel processing. It also mirrors
a feature in the Xen hypervisor - the "timer_slop" Xen command line
option.

crashkernel=xM tries to reserve memory for the crash kernel under 4G,
which is enough, usually. But this could fail sometimes, for example
when one tries to reserve a big chunk like 2G, for example.
So let the crashkernel=xM just fall back to use high memory in case it
fails to find a suitable low range. Do not set the ,high as default
because it allocates extra low memory for DMA buffers and swiotlb, and
this is not always necessary for all machines.
Typically, crashkernel=128M usually works with low reservation under 4G,
so keep <4G as default.

This patch implements a framework for Kernel Userspace Access
Protection.
Then subarches will have the possibility to provide their own
implementation by providing setup_kuap() and
allow/prevent_user_access().
Some platforms will need to know the area accessed and whether it is
accessed from read, write or both. Therefore source, destination and
size and handed over to the two functions.
mpe: Rename to allow/prevent rather than unlock/lock, and add
read/write wrappers. Drop the 32-bit code for now until we have an
implementation for it. Add kuap to pt_regs for 64-bit as well as

Keeping track of the number of mitigations for all the CPU speculation
bugs has become overwhelming for many users. It's getting more and more
complicated to decide which mitigations are needed for a given
architecture. Complicating matters is the fact that each arch tends to
have its own custom way to mitigate the same vulnerability.
Most users fall into a few basic categories:
a) they want all mitigations off;
b) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT enabled even if
it's vulnerable; or
c) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT disabled if
vulnerable.
Define a set of curated, arch-independent options, each of which is an
aggregation of existing options:
- mitigations=off: Disable all mitigations.
- mitigations=auto: [default] Enable all the default mitigations, but
leave SMT enabled, even if it's vulnerable.
- mitigations=auto,nosmt: Enable all the default mitigations, disabling
SMT if needed by a mitigation.
Currently, these options are placeholders which don't actually do
anything. They will be fleshed out in upcoming patches.

The Performance and Energy Bias Hint (EPB) is expected to be set by
user space through the generic MSR interface, but that interface is
not particularly nice and there are security concerns regarding it,
so it is not always available.
For this reason, add a sysfs interface for reading and updating the
EPB, in the form of a new attribute, energy_perf_bias, located
under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/power/ for online CPUs that
support the EPB feature.

The current handling of MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS in the kernel is
problematic, because it may cause changes made by user space to that
MSR (with the help of the x86_energy_perf_policy tool, for example)
to be lost every time a CPU goes offline and then back online as well
as during system-wide power management transitions into sleep states
and back into the working state.
The first problem is that if the current EPB value for a CPU going
online is 0 ('performance'), the kernel will change it to 6 ('normal')
regardless of whether or not this is the first bring-up of that CPU.
That also happens during system-wide resume from sleep states
(including, but not limited to, hibernation). However, the EPB may
have been adjusted by user space this way and the kernel should not
blindly override that setting.
The second problem is that if the platform firmware resets the EPB
values for any CPUs during system-wide resume from a sleep state,
the kernel will not restore their previous EPB values that may
have been set by user space before the preceding system-wide
suspend transition. Again, that behavior may at least be confusing
from the user space perspective.
In order to address these issues, rework the handling of
MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS so that the EPB value is saved on CPU
offline and restored on CPU online as well as (for the boot CPU)
during the syscore stages of system-wide suspend and resume
transitions, respectively.
However, retain the policy by which the EPB is set to 6 ('normal')
on the first bring-up of each CPU if its initial value is 0, based
on the observation that 0 may mean 'not initialized' just as well as
'performance' in that case.
While at it, move the MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS handling code into
a separate file and document it in Documentation/admin-guide.
Fixes: abe48b1082 (x86, intel, power: Initialize MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS)

Currently, the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot parameter requires that a specific
list of CPUs be specified, and has no way to say "all of them".
As noted by user RavFX in a comment to Phoronix topic 1002538, this
is an inconvenient side effect of the removal of the RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL
Kconfig option. This commit therefore enables the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot
parameter to be given the string "all", as in "rcu_nocbs=all" to specify
that all CPUs on the system are to have their RCU callbacks offloaded.
Another approach would be to make cpulist_parse() check for "all", but
there are uses of cpulist_parse() that do other checking, which could
conflict with an "all". This commit therefore focuses on the specific
use of cpulist_parse() in rcu_nocb_setup().
Just a note to other people who would like changes to Linux-kernel RCU:
If you send your requests to me directly, they might get fixed somewhat
faster. RavFX's comment was posted on January 22, 2018 and I first saw
it on March 5, 2019. And the only reason that I found it -at- -all- was
that I was looking for projects using RCU, and my search engine showed
me that Phoronix comment quite by accident. Your choice, though! ;-)

When the Partial Parity Log is enabled, circular buffer is used to store
PPL data. Each write to RAID device causes overwrite of data in this buffer
so some write_hint can be set to those request to help drives handle
garbage collection. This patch adds new sysfs attribute which can be used
to specify which write_hint should be assigned to PPL.

Move L!TF to a separate directory so the MDS stuff can be added at the
side. Otherwise the all hardware vulnerabilites have their own top level
entry. Should have done that right away.

Now that the mitigations are in place, add a command line parameter to
control the mitigation, a mitigation selector function and a SMT update
mechanism.
This is the minimal straight forward initial implementation which just
provides an always on/off mode. The command line parameter is:
mds=[full|off]
This is consistent with the existing mitigations for other speculative
hardware vulnerabilities.
The idle invocation is dynamically updated according to the SMT state of
the system similar to the dynamic update of the STIBP mitigation. The idle
mitigation is limited to CPUs which are only affected by MSBDS and not any
other variant, because the other variants cannot be mitigated on SMT
enabled systems.

Currently THP allocation events data is fairly opaque, since you can
only get it system-wide. This patch makes it easier to reason about
transparent hugepage behaviour on a per-memcg basis.
For anonymous THP-backed pages, we already have MEMCG_RSS_HUGE in v1,
which is used for v1's rss_huge [sic]. This is reused here as it's
fairly involved to untangle NR_ANON_THPS right now to make it per-memcg,
since right now some of this is delegated to rmap before we have any
memcg actually assigned to the page. It's a good idea to rework that,
but let's leave untangling THP allocation for a future patch.

PG_balloon was introduced to implement page migration/compaction for
pages inflated in virtio-balloon. Nowadays, it is only a marker that a
page is part of virtio-balloon and therefore logically offline.
We also want to make use of this flag in other balloon drivers - for
inflated pages or when onlining a section but keeping some pages offline
(e.g. used right now by XEN and Hyper-V via set_online_page_callback()).
We are going to expose this flag to dump tools like makedumpfile. But
instead of exposing PG_balloon, let's generalize the concept of marking
pages as logically offline, so it can be reused for other purposes later
on.
Rename PG_balloon to PG_offline. This is an indicator that the page is
logically offline, the content stale and that it should not be touched
(e.g. a hypervisor would have to allocate backing storage in order for
the guest to dump an unused page). We can then e.g. exclude such pages
from dumps.
We replace and reuse KPF_BALLOON (23), as this shouldn't really harm
(and for now the semantics stay the same). In following patches, we
will make use of this bit also in other balloon drivers. While at it,
document PGTABLE.
