Legacy IO schedulers (cfq, deadline and noop) were removed in
f382fb0bce.
The documentation for deadline was retained because it carries over to
mq-deadline as well, but location of the doc file was changed over time.
The old iosched algorithms were removed from elevator= kernel parameter
and mq-deadline, kyber and bfq were added with a reference to their
documentation.
Fixes: f382fb0bce ("block: remove legacy IO schedulers")

Move the x86 EFI earlyprintk implementation to a shared location under
drivers/firmware and tweak it slightly so we can expose it as an earlycon
implementation (which is generic) rather than earlyprintk (which is only
implemented for a few architectures)
This also involves switching to write-combine mappings by default (which
is required on ARM since device mappings lack memory semantics, and so
memcpy/memset may not be used on them), and adding support for shared
memory framebuffers on cache coherent non-x86 systems (which do not
tolerate mismatched attributes).
Note that 32-bit ARM does not populate its struct screen_info early
enough for earlycon=efifb to work, so it is disabled there.

commit 3fb72f1e6e ("ipconfig wait for carrier") added a
"wait for carrier" policy, with a fixed worst case maximum wait
of two minutes.
Now make the wait for carrier timeout configurable on the kernel
commandline and use the 120s as the default.
The timeout messages introduced with
commit 5e404cd658 ("ipconfig: add informative timeout messages while
waiting for carrier") are done in a fixed interval of 20 seconds, just
like they were before (240/12).

Commit 765b6a98c1 ("iommu/vt-d: Enumerate the scalable
mode capability") enables VT-d scalable mode if hardware
advertises the capability. As we will bring up different
features and use cases to upstream in different patch
series, it will leave some intermediate kernel versions
which support partial features. Hence, end user might run
into problems when they use such kernels on bare metals
or virtualization environments.
This leaves scalable mode default off and end users could
turn it on with "intel-iommu=sm_on" only when they have
clear ideas about which scalable features are supported
in the kernel.

A few updates that we merged late but are low risk for regressions for
other platforms (and a few other straggling patches):
- I mis-tagged the 'drivers' branch, and missed 3 patches. Merged in
here. They're for a driver for the PL353 SRAM controller and a build
fix for the qualcomm scm driver.
- A new platform, RDA Micro RDA8810PL (Cortex-A5 w/ integrated Vivante
GPU, 256MB RAM, Wifi). This includes some acked platform-specific
drivers (serial, etc). This also include DTs for two boards with this
SoC, OrangePi 2G and OrangePi i86.
- i.MX8 is another new platform (NXP, 4x Cortex-A53 + Cortex-M4, 4K
video playback offload). This is the first i.MX 64-bit SoC.
- Some minor updates to Samsung boards (adding a few peripherals in

- Small rework for SMP bootup on STi platforms.
- A couple of TEE driver fixes.
- A couple of new config options (bcm2835 thermal, Uniphier MDMAC)

Kernel panic issues are always painful to debug, partially because it's
not easy to get enough information of the context when panic happens.
And we have ramoops and kdump for that, while this commit tries to
provide a easier way to show the system info by adding a cmdline
parameter, referring some idea from sysrq handler.

It can be useful to inhibit all cgroup1 hierarchies especially during

controllers which leaves out the named hierarchies. Expand it to
cover the named hierarchies so that "cgroup_no_v1=all,named" disables
all cgroup1 hierarchies.

Swap storage is restricted to max_swapfile_size (~16TB on x86_64) whenever
the system is deemed affected by L1TF vulnerability. Even though the limit
is quite high for most deployments it seems to be too restrictive for
deployments which are willing to live with the mitigation disabled.
We have a customer to deploy 8x 6,4TB PCIe/NVMe SSD swap devices which is
clearly out of the limit.
Drop the swap restriction when l1tf=off is specified. It also doesn't make
much sense to warn about too much memory for the l1tf mitigation when it is
forcefully disabled by the administrator.

The Intel vt-d spec rev3.0 introduces a new translation
mode called scalable mode, which enables PASID-granular
translations for first level, second level, nested and
pass-through modes. At the same time, the previous
Extended Context (ECS) mode is deprecated (no production
ever implements ECS).
This patch adds enumeration for Scalable Mode and removes
the deprecated ECS enumeration. It provides a boot time
option to disable scalable mode even hardware claims to
support it.

Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit
shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like
users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others.
With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set
from the commandline, this is a challenge. Do the following things to
make it easier:
1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros
to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled
unless a user requests it at boot-time.
To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=.
2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs
when the feature is disabled.
In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says:

If 'prctl' mode of user space protection from spectre v2 is selected
on the kernel command-line, STIBP and IBPB are applied on tasks which
restrict their indirect branch speculation via prctl.
SECCOMP enables the SSBD mitigation for sandboxed tasks already, so it
makes sense to prevent spectre v2 user space to user space attacks as
well.
The Intel mitigation guide documents how STIPB works:
Setting bit 1 (STIBP) of the IA32_SPEC_CTRL MSR on a logical processor
prevents the predicted targets of indirect branches on any logical
processor of that core from being controlled by software that executes
(or executed previously) on another logical processor of the same core.
Ergo setting STIBP protects the task itself from being attacked from a task
running on a different hyper-thread and protects the tasks running on
different hyper-threads from being attacked.
While the document suggests that the branch predictors are shielded between
the logical processors, the observed performance regressions suggest that
STIBP simply disables the branch predictor more or less completely. Of
course the document wording is vague, but the fact that there is also no
requirement for issuing IBPB when STIBP is used points clearly in that
direction. The kernel still issues IBPB even when STIBP is used until Intel
clarifies the whole mechanism.
IBPB is issued when the task switches out, so malicious sandbox code cannot
mistrain the branch predictor for the next user space task on the same
logical processor.

Add command line control for user space indirect branch speculation
mitigations. The new option is: spectre_v2_user=
The initial options are:
- on: Unconditionally enabled
- off: Unconditionally disabled
-auto: Kernel selects mitigation (default off for now)
When the spectre_v2= command line argument is either 'on' or 'off' this
implies that the application to application control follows that state even
if a contradicting spectre_v2_user= argument is supplied.

The hard and soft lockup detector threshold has a default value of 10
seconds which can only be changed via sysctl.
During early boot lockup detection can trigger when noisy debugging emits
a large amount of messages to the console, but there is no way to set a
larger threshold on the kernel command line. The detector can only be
completely disabled.
Add a new watchdog_thresh= command line parameter to allow boot time
control over the threshold. It works in the same way as the sysctl and

Patch series "Address issues slowing persistent memory initialization", v5.
The main thing this patch set achieves is that it allows us to initialize
each node worth of persistent memory independently. As a result we reduce
page init time by about 2 minutes because instead of taking 30 to 40
seconds per node and going through each node one at a time, we process all
4 nodes in parallel in the case of a 12TB persistent memory setup spread
evenly over 4 nodes.
This patch (of 3):
On systems with a large amount of memory it can take a significant amount
of time to initialize all of the page structs with the PAGE_POISON_PATTERN
value. I have seen it take over 2 minutes to initialize a system with
over 12TB of RAM.
In order to work around the issue I had to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and
then the boot time returned to something much more reasonable as the
arch_add_memory call completed in milliseconds versus seconds. However in
doing that I had to disable all of the other VM debugging on the system.
In order to work around a kernel that might have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled
on a system that has a large amount of memory I have added a new kernel
parameter named "vm_debug" that can be set to "-" in order to disable it.

Notable changes:
- A large series to rewrite our SLB miss handling, replacing a lot of fairly
complicated asm with much fewer lines of C.
- Following on from that, we now maintain a cache of SLB entries for each
process and preload them on context switch. Leading to a 27% speedup for our
context switch benchmark on Power9.
- Improvements to our handling of SLB multi-hit errors. We now print more debug
information when they occur, and try to continue running by flushing the SLB
and reloading, rather than treating them as fatal.
- Enable THP migration on 64-bit Book3S machines (eg. Power7/8/9).
- Add support for physical memory up to 2PB in the linear mapping on 64-bit
Book3S. We only support up to 512TB as regular system memory, otherwise the
percpu allocator runs out of vmalloc space.
- Add stack protector support for 32 and 64-bit, with a per-task canary.
- Add support for PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP.
- Support recognising "big cores" on Power9, where two SMT4 cores are presented
to us as a single SMT8 core.
- A large series to cleanup some of our ioremap handling and PTE flags.
- Add a driver for the PAPR SCM (storage class memory) interface, allowing
guests to operate on SCM devices (acked by Dan).
- Changes to our ftrace code to handle very large kernels, where we need to use
a trampoline to get to ftrace_caller().
Many other smaller enhancements and cleanups.

UART devices which have the wrong PCI class code. In that case, the
current class code check does not allow for them to be used for logging.
Add a sub-option "force" which overrides the class code check and thus
the use of such device can be enforced.

Pull v4.20 RCU changes from Paul E. McKenney:
- Documentation updates, including some good-eye catches from
Joel Fernandes.
- SRCU updates, most notably changes enabling call_srcu() to be
invoked very early in the boot sequence.
- Torture-test updates, including some preliminary work towards
making rcutorture better able to find problems that result in
insufficient grace-period forward progress.
- Consolidate the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched flavors into
a single flavor similar to RCU-sched in !PREEMPT kernels and
into a single flavor similar to RCU-preempt (but also waiting
on preempt-disabled sequences of code) in PREEMPT kernels. This
branch also includes a refactoring of rcu_{nmi,irq}_{enter,exit}()
from Byungchul Park.
- Now that there is only one RCU flavor in any given running kernel,
the many "rsp" pointers are no longer required, and this cleanup
series removes them.
- This branch carries out additional cleanups made possible by
the RCU flavor consolidation, including inlining how-trivial
functions, updating comments and definitions, and removing
now-unneeded rcutorture scenarios.
- Initial changes to RCU to better promote forward progress of
grace periods, including fixing a bug found by Marius Hillenbrand
and David Woodhouse, with the fix suggested by Peter Zijlstra.
- Now that there is only one flavor of RCU in any running kernel,
there is also only on rcu_data structure per CPU. This means
that the rcu_dynticks structure can be merged into the rcu_data
structure, a task taken on by this branch. This branch also
contains a -rt-related fix from Mike Galbraith.

Implements counter freezing for Arch Perfmon v4 (Skylake and
newer). This allows to speed up the PMI handler by avoiding
unnecessary MSR writes and make it more accurate.
The Arch Perfmon v4 PMI handler is substantially different than
the older PMI handler.
Differences to the old handler:
- It relies on counter freezing, which eliminates several MSR
writes from the PMI handler and lowers the overhead significantly.
It makes the PMI handler more accurate, as all counters get
frozen atomically as soon as any counter overflows. So there is
much less counting of the PMI handler itself.
With the freezing we don't need to disable or enable counters or
PEBS. Only BTS which does not support auto-freezing still needs to
be explicitly managed.
- The PMU acking is done at the end, not the beginning.
This makes it possible to avoid manual enabling/disabling
of the PMU, instead we just rely on the freezing/acking.
- The APIC is acked before reenabling the PMU, which avoids
problems with LBRs occasionally not getting unfreezed on Skylake.
- Looping is only needed to workaround a corner case which several PMIs
are very close to each other. For common cases, the counters are freezed
during PMI handler. It doesn't need to do re-check.
This patch:
- Adds code to enable v4 counter freezing
- Fork <=v3 and >=v4 PMI handlers into separate functions.
- Add kernel parameter to disable counter freezing. It took some time to
debug counter freezing, so in case there are new problems we added an
option to turn it off. Would not expect this to be used until there
are new bugs.
- Only for big core. The patch for small core will be posted later
separately.
Performance:
When profiling a kernel build on Kabylake with different perf options,
measuring the length of all NMI handlers using the nmi handler
trace point:
V3 is without counter freezing.
V4 is with counter freezing.
The value is the average cost of the PMI handler.
(lower is better)

Scrubbing pages on initial balloon down can take some time, especially
in nested virtualization case (nested EPT is slow). When HVM/PVH guest is
started with memory= significantly lower than maxmem=, all the extra
pages will be scrubbed before returning to Xen. But since most of them
weren't used at all at that point, Xen needs to populate them first
(from populate-on-demand pool). In nested virt case (Xen inside KVM)
this slows down the guest boot by 15-30s with just 1.5GB needed to be
returned to Xen.
Add runtime parameter to enable/disable it, to allow initially disabling
scrubbing, then enable it back during boot (for example in initramfs).
Such usage relies on assumption that a) most pages ballooned out during
initial boot weren't used at all, and b) even if they were, very few
secrets are in the guest at that time (before any serious userspace
kicks in).
Convert CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES to CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT (also
enabled by default), controlling default value for the new runtime
switch.

The jiffies_till_sched_qs value used to determine how old a grace period
must be before RCU enlists the help of the scheduler to force a quiescent
state on the holdout CPU. Currently, this defaults to HZ/10 regardless of
system size and may be set only at boot time. This can be a problem for
very large systems, because if the values of the jiffies_till_first_fqs
and jiffies_till_next_fqs kernel parameters are left at their defaults,
they are calculated to increase as the number of CPUs actually configured
on the system increases. Thus, on a sufficiently large system, RCU would
enlist the help of the scheduler before the grace-period kthread had a
chance to scan for idle CPUs, which wastes CPU time.
This commit therefore allows jiffies_till_sched_qs to be set, if desired,
but if left as default, computes is as jiffies_till_first_fqs plus twice
jiffies_till_next_fqs, thus allowing three force-quiescent-state scans
for idle CPUs. This scales with the number of CPUs, providing sensible
default values.

Now that the RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions are simple
wrappers around their RCU counterparts, there isn't a whole lot of

Merge L1 Terminal Fault fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"L1TF, aka L1 Terminal Fault, is yet another speculative hardware
engineering trainwreck. It's a hardware vulnerability which allows
unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in the
Level 1 Data Cache when the page table entry controlling the virtual
address, which is used for the access, has the Present bit cleared or
other reserved bits set.
If an instruction accesses a virtual address for which the relevant
page table entry (PTE) has the Present bit cleared or other reserved
bits set, then speculative execution ignores the invalid PTE and loads
the referenced data if it is present in the Level 1 Data Cache, as if
the page referenced by the address bits in the PTE was still present
and accessible.
While this is a purely speculative mechanism and the instruction will
raise a page fault when it is retired eventually, the pure act of
loading the data and making it available to other speculative
instructions opens up the opportunity for side channel attacks to
unprivileged malicious code, similar to the Meltdown attack.
While Meltdown breaks the user space to kernel space protection, L1TF
allows to attack any physical memory address in the system and the
attack works across all protection domains. It allows an attack of SGX
and also works from inside virtual machines because the speculation
bypasses the extended page table (EPT) protection mechanism.
The assoicated CVEs are: CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646
The mitigations provided by this pull request include:
- Host side protection by inverting the upper address bits of a non
present page table entry so the entry points to uncacheable memory.
- Hypervisor protection by flushing L1 Data Cache on VMENTER.
- SMT (HyperThreading) control knobs, which allow to 'turn off' SMT
by offlining the sibling CPU threads. The knobs are available on
the kernel command line and at runtime via sysfs
- Control knobs for the hypervisor mitigation, related to L1D flush
and SMT control. The knobs are available on the kernel command line
and at runtime via sysfs
- Extensive documentation about L1TF including various degrees of
mitigations.
Thanks to all people who have contributed to this in various ways -
patches, review, testing, backporting - and the fruitful, sometimes
heated, but at the end constructive discussions.
There is work in progress to provide other forms of mitigations, which
might be less horrible performance wise for a particular kind of
workloads, but this is not yet ready for consumption due to their
complexity and limitations"

To support peer-to-peer traffic on a segment of the PCI hierarchy, we must
disable the ACS redirect bits for select PCI bridges. The bridges must be
selected before the devices are discovered by the kernel and the IOMMU
groups created. Therefore, add a kernel command line parameter to specify
devices which must have their ACS bits disabled.
The new parameter takes a list of devices separated by a semicolon. Each
device specified will have its ACS redirect bits disabled. This is
similar to the existing 'resource_alignment' parameter.
The ACS Request P2P Request Redirect, P2P Completion Redirect and P2P
Egress Control bits are disabled, which is sufficient to always allow
passing P2P traffic uninterrupted. The bits are set after the kernel
(optionally) enables the ACS bits itself. It is also done regardless of
whether the kernel or platform firmware sets the bits.
If the user tries to disable the ACS redirect for a device without the ACS
capability, print a warning to dmesg.

When specifying PCI devices on the kernel command line using a
bus/device/function address, bus numbers can change when adding or
replacing a device, changing motherboard firmware, or applying kernel
parameters like "pci=assign-buses". When bus numbers change, it's likely
the command line tweak will be applied to the wrong device.
Therefore, it is useful to be able to specify devices with a base bus
number and the path of devfns needed to get to it, similar to the "device
scope" structure in the Intel VT-d spec, Section 8.3.1.
Thus, we add an option to specify devices in the following format:
[<domain>:]<bus>:<device>.<func>[/<device>.<func>]*
The path can be any segment within the PCI hierarchy of any length and
determined through the use of 'lspci -t'. When specified this way, it is
less likely that a renumbered bus will result in a valid device
specification and the tweak won't be applied to the wrong device.

Separate out the code to match a PCI device with a string (typically
originating from a kernel parameter) from the
pci_specified_resource_alignment() function into its own helper function.
While we are at it, this change fixes the kernel style of the function
(fixing a number of long lines and extra parentheses).
Additionally, make the analogous change to the kernel parameter
documentation: Separate the description of how to specify a PCI device
into its own section at the head of the "pci=" parameter.
This patch should have no functional alterations.

This allows the default behavior to be controlled by a kernel config
option instead of changing the commandline for the kernel to include
"iommu.passthrough=on" or "iommu=pt" on machines where this is desired.
Likewise, for machines where this config option is enabled, it can be
disabled at boot time with "iommu.passthrough=off" or "iommu=nopt".
Also corrected iommu=pt documentation for IA-64, since it has no code that
parses iommu= at all.

Currently printing [hashed] pointers requires enough entropy to be
available. Early in the boot sequence this may not be the case
resulting in a dummy string '(____ptrval____)' being printed. This
makes debugging the early boot sequence difficult. We can relax the
requirement to use cryptographically secure hashing during debugging.
This enables debugging while keeping development/production kernel
behaviour the same.
If new command line option debug_boot_weak_hash is enabled use
cryptographically insecure hashing and hash pointer value immediately.

Pull RCU updates from Paul E. McKenney:
- An optimization and a fix for RCU expedited grace periods, with
the fix being from Boqun Feng.
- Miscellaneous fixes, including a lockdep-annotation fix from
Boqun Feng.
- SRCU updates.
- Updates to rcutorture and associated scripting.
- Introduce grace-period sequence numbers to the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt,
and RCU-sched flavors, replacing the old ->gpnum and ->completed
pair of fields. This change allows lockless code to obtain the
complete grace-period state with a single READ_ONCE(), which is
needed to maintain tolerable lock contention during the upcoming
consolidation of the three RCU flavors. Note that grace-period
sequence numbers are already used by rcu_barrier(), expedited
RCU grace periods, and SRCU, and are thus already heavily used
and well-tested. Joel Fernandes contributed a number of excellent
fixes and improvements.
- Clean up some grace-period-reporting loose ends, including
improving the handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs
and fixing some false-positive WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations.
(Strictly speaking, the WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations were quite
correct, but their invariants were (harmlessly) violated by the
earlier sloppy handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs.)
In addition, improve grace-period forward-progress guarantees so
as to allow removal of fail-safe checks that required otherwise
needless lock acquisitions. Finally, add more diagnostics to
help debug the upcoming consolidation of the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt,
and RCU-sched flavors.
- Additional miscellaneous fixes, including those contributed by
Byungchul Park, Mauro Carvalho Chehab, Joe Perches, Joel Fernandes,
Steven Rostedt, Andrea Parri, and Neil Brown.
- Additional torture-test changes, including several contributed by
Arnd Bergmann and Joel Fernandes.

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

Some RCU bugs have been sensitive to the frequency of CPU-hotplug
operations, which have been gradually increased over time. But this
frequency is now at the one-second lower limit that can be specified using
the rcutorture.onoff_interval kernel parameter. This commit therefore
changes the units of rcutorture.onoff_interval from seconds to jiffies,
and also sets the value specified for this kernel parameter in the TREE03
rcutorture scenario to 200, which is 200 milliseconds for HZ=1000.

Deferred probe will currently wait forever on dependent devices to probe,
but sometimes a driver will never exist. It's also not always critical for
a driver to exist. Platforms can rely on default configuration from the
bootloader or reset defaults for things such as pinctrl and power domains.
This is often the case with initial platform support until various drivers
get enabled. There's at least 2 scenarios where deferred probe can render
a platform broken. Both involve using a DT which has more devices and
dependencies than the kernel supports. The 1st case is a driver may be
disabled in the kernel config. The 2nd case is the kernel version may
simply not have the dependent driver. This can happen if using a newer DT
(provided by firmware perhaps) with a stable kernel version. Deferred
probe issues can be difficult to debug especially if the console has
dependencies or userspace fails to boot to a shell.
There are also cases like IOMMUs where only built-in drivers are
supported, so deferring probe after initcalls is not needed. The IOMMU
subsystem implemented its own mechanism to handle this using OF_DECLARE
linker sections.
This commit adds makes ending deferred probe conditional on initcalls
being completed or a debug timeout. Subsystems or drivers may opt-in by
calling driver_deferred_probe_check_init_done() instead of
unconditionally returning -EPROBE_DEFER. They may use additional
information from DT or kernel's config to decide whether to continue to
defer probe or not.
The timeout mechanism is intended for debug purposes and WARNs loudly.
The remaining deferred probe pending list will also be dumped after the
timeout. Not that this timeout won't work for the console which needs
to be enabled before userspace starts. However, if the console's
dependencies are resolved, then the kernel log will be printed (as
opposed to no output).

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

If the L1TF CPU bug is present we allow the KVM module to be loaded as the
major of users that use Linux and KVM have trusted guests and do not want a
broken setup.
Cloud vendors are the ones that are uncomfortable with CVE 2018-3620 and as
such they are the ones that should set nosmt to one.
Setting 'nosmt' means that the system administrator also needs to disable
SMT (Hyper-threading) in the BIOS, or via the 'nosmt' command line
parameter, or via the /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control. See commit
05736e4ac1 ("cpu/hotplug: Provide knobs to control SMT").
Other mitigations are to use task affinity, cpu sets, interrupt binding,
etc - anything to make sure that _only_ the same guests vCPUs are running
on sibling threads.

Enabling HARDENED_USERCOPY may cause measurable regressions in networking
performance: up to 8% under UDP flood.
I ran a small packet UDP flood using pktgen vs. a host b2b connected. On
the receiver side the UDP packets are processed by a simple user space
process that just reads and drops them:
https://github.com/netoptimizer/network-testing/blob/master/src/udp_sink.c
Not very useful from a functional PoV, but it helps to pin-point
bottlenecks in the networking stack.
When running a kernel with CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y, I see a 5-8%
regression in the receive tput, compared to the same kernel without this
option enabled.
With CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y, perf shows ~6% of CPU time spent
cumulatively in __check_object_size (~4%) and __virt_addr_valid (~2%).
The call-chain is:
__GI___libc_recvfrom
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
do_syscall_64
__x64_sys_recvfrom
__sys_recvfrom
inet_recvmsg
udp_recvmsg
__check_object_size
udp_recvmsg() actually calls copy_to_iter() (inlined) and the latters
calls check_copy_size() (again, inlined).
A generic distro may want to enable HARDENED_USERCOPY in their default
kernel config, but at the same time, such distro may want to be able to
avoid the performance penalties in with the default configuration and
disable the stricter check on a per-boot basis.
This change adds a boot parameter that conditionally disables
HARDENED_USERCOPY via "hardened_usercopy=off".

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

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