7914695743 x86/amd: Cache debug register values in percpu variables
Reading DR[0-3]_ADDR_MASK MSRs takes about 250 cycles which is going to
be noticeable with the AMD KVM SEV-ES DebugSwap feature enabled.  KVM is
going to store host's DR[0-3] and DR[0-3]_ADDR_MASK before switching to
a guest; the hardware is going to swap these on VMRUN and VMEXIT.

Store MSR values passed to set_dr_addr_mask() in percpu variables
(when changed) and return them via new amd_get_dr_addr_mask().
The gain here is about 10x.

As set_dr_addr_mask() uses the array too, change the @dr type to
unsigned to avoid checking for <0. And give it the amd_ prefix to match
the new helper as the whole DR_ADDR_MASK feature is AMD-specific anyway.

While at it, replace deprecated boot_cpu_has() with cpu_feature_enabled()
in set_dr_addr_mask().

97e3d26b5e x86/mm: Randomize per-cpu entry area
Seth found that the CPU-entry-area; the piece of per-cpu data that is
mapped into the userspace page-tables for kPTI is not subject to any
randomization -- irrespective of kASLR settings.

On x86_64 a whole P4D (512 GB) of virtual address space is reserved for
this structure, which is plenty large enough to randomize things a
little.

As such, use a straight forward randomization scheme that avoids
duplicates to spread the existing CPUs over the available space.

3943abf2db x86/debug: Prevent data breakpoints on cpu_dr7
local_db_save() is called at the start of exc_debug_kernel(), reads DR7 and
disables breakpoints to prevent recursion.

When running in a guest (X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR), local_db_save() reads the
per-cpu variable cpu_dr7 to check whether a breakpoint is active or not
before it accesses DR7.

A data breakpoint on cpu_dr7 therefore results in infinite #DB recursion.

Disallow data breakpoints on cpu_dr7 to prevent that.

c4bed4b969 x86/debug: Prevent data breakpoints on __per_cpu_offset
When FSGSBASE is enabled, paranoid_entry() fetches the per-CPU GSBASE value
via __per_cpu_offset or pcpu_unit_offsets.

When a data breakpoint is set on __per_cpu_offset[cpu] (read-write
operation), the specific CPU will be stuck in an infinite #DB loop.

RCU will try to send an NMI to the specific CPU, but it is not working
either since NMI also relies on paranoid_entry(). Which means it's
undebuggable.

9ad22e1659 x86/debug: Fix DR6 handling
Tom reported that one of the GDB test-cases failed, and Boris bisected
it to commit:

  d53d9bc0cf ("x86/debug: Change thread.debugreg6 to thread.virtual_dr6")

The debugging session led us to commit:

  6c0aca288e ("x86: Ignore trap bits on single step exceptions")

It turns out that TF and data breakpoints are both traps and will be
merged, while instruction breakpoints are faults and will not be merged.
This means 6c0aca288e is wrong, only TF and instruction breakpoints
need to be excluded while TF and data breakpoints can be merged.

d53d9bc0cf x86/debug: Change thread.debugreg6 to thread.virtual_dr6
Current usage of thread.debugreg6 is convoluted at best. It starts life as
a copy of the hardware DR6 value, but then various bits are cleared and
set.

Replace this with a new variable thread.virtual_dr6 that is initialized to
0 when DR6 is read and only gains bits, at the same time the actual (on
stack) dr6 value which is read from the hardware only gets bits cleared.

f4956cf83e x86/debug: Support negative polarity DR6 bits
DR6 has a whole bunch of bits that have negative polarity; they were
architecturally reserved and defined to be 1 and are now getting used.
Since they're 1 by default, 0 becomes the signal value.

Handle this by xor'ing the read DR6 value by the reserved mask, this
will flip them around such that 1 is the signal value (positive
polarity).

Current Linux doesn't yet support any of these bits, but there's two
defined:

 - DR6[11] Bus Lock Debug Exception		(ISEr39)
 - DR6[16] Restricted Transactional Memory	(SDM)

Update ptrace_{set,get}_debugreg() to provide/consume the value in
architectural polarity. Although afaict ptrace_set_debugreg(6) is
pointless, the value is not consumed anywhere.

Change hw_breakpoint_restore() to alway write the DR6_RESERVED value
to DR6, again, no consumer for that write.

186f43608a x86/kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h
Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.

This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.  Build testing
revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly.

Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is
the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things
like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).

27747f8bc3 perf/x86/hw_breakpoints: Fix check for kernel-space breakpoints
The check looked wrong, although I think it was actually safe.  TASK_SIZE
is unnecessarily small for compat tasks, and it wasn't possible to make
a range breakpoint so large it started in user space and ended in kernel
space.

Nonetheless, let's fix up the check for the benefit of future
readers.  A breakpoint is in the kernel if either end is in the
kernel.

e5779e8e12 perf/x86/hw_breakpoints: Disallow kernel breakpoints unless kprobe-safe
Code on the kprobe blacklist doesn't want unexpected int3
exceptions. It probably doesn't want unexpected debug exceptions
either. Be safe: disallow breakpoints in nokprobes code.

On non-CONFIG_KPROBES kernels, there is no kprobe blacklist.  In
that case, disallow kernel breakpoints entirely.

It will be particularly important to keep hw breakpoints out of the
entry and NMI code once we move debug exceptions off the IST stack.

89cbc76768 x86: Replace __get_cpu_var uses
__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x).  This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.

Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.

__get_cpu_var() is defined as :

#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))

__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.

this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.

This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset.  Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.

Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()

1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);

2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
	int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);

3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int x = __get_cpu_var(y)

   Converts to

	int x = __this_cpu_read(y);

4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
	struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);

   Converts to

	memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));

5. Assignment to a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
	__get_cpu_var(y) = x;

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_write(y, x);

6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	__get_cpu_var(y)++

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_inc(y)

6c0aca288e x86: Ignore trap bits on single step exceptions
When a single step exception fires, the trap bits, used to
signal hardware breakpoints, are in a random state.

These trap bits might be set if another exception will follow,
like a breakpoint in the next instruction, or a watchpoint in the
previous one. Or there can be any junk there.

So if we handle these trap bits during the single step exception,
we are going to handle an exception twice, or we are going to
handle junk.

Just ignore them in this case.

89e45aac42 x86: Fix instruction breakpoint encoding
Lengths and types of breakpoints are encoded in a half byte
into CPU registers. However when we extract these values
and store them, we add a high half byte part to them: 0x40 to the
length and 0x80 to the type.
When that gets reloaded to the CPU registers, the high part
is masked.

While making the instruction breakpoints available for perf,
I zapped that high part on instruction breakpoint encoding
and that broke the arch -> generic translation used by ptrace
instruction breakpoints. Writing dr7 to set an inst breakpoint
was then failing.

There is no apparent reason for these high parts so we could get
rid of them altogether. That's an invasive change though so let's
do that later and for now fix the problem by restoring that inst
breakpoint high part encoding in this sole patch.

0c4519e825 x86: Set resume bit before returning from breakpoint exception
Instruction breakpoints trigger before the instruction executes,
and returning back from the breakpoint handler brings us again
to the instruction that breakpointed. This naturally bring to
a breakpoint recursion.

To solve this, x86 has the Resume Bit trick. When the cpu flags
have the RF flag set, the next instruction won't trigger any
instruction breakpoint, and once this instruction is executed,
RF is cleared back.

This let's us jump back to the instruction that triggered the
breakpoint without recursion.

Use this when an instruction breakpoint triggers.

b2812d031d hw-breakpoints: Change/Enforce some breakpoints policies
The current policies of breakpoints in x86 and SH are the following:

- task bound breakpoints can only break on userspace addresses
- cpu wide breakpoints can only break on kernel addresses

The former rule prevents ptrace breakpoints to be set to trigger on
kernel addresses, which is good. But as a side effect, we can't
breakpoint on kernel addresses for task bound breakpoints.

The latter rule simply makes no sense, there is no reason why we
can't set breakpoints on userspace while performing cpu bound
profiles.

We want the following new policies:

- task bound breakpoint can set userspace address breakpoints, with
no particular privilege required.
- task bound breakpoints can set kernelspace address breakpoints but
must be privileged to do that.
- cpu bound breakpoints can do what they want as they are privileged
already.

To implement these new policies, this patch checks if we are dealing
with a kernel address breakpoint, if so and if the exclude_kernel
parameter is set, we tell the user that the breakpoint is invalid,
which makes a good generic ptrace protection.
If we don't have exclude_kernel, ensure the user has the right
privileges as kernel breakpoints are quite sensitive (risk of
trap recursion attacks and global performance impacts).

1e259e0a99 hw-breakpoints: Remove stub unthrottle callback
We support event unthrottling in breakpoint events. It means
that if we have more than sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ,
perf will throttle, ignoring subsequent events until the next
tick.

So if ptrace exceeds this max rate, it will omit events, which
breaks the ptrace determinism that is supposed to report every
triggered breakpoints. This is likely to happen if we set
sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate to 1.

This patch removes support for unthrottling in breakpoint
events to break throttling and restore ptrace determinism.
