- MAINTAINERS: Add Mark Rutland as perf submaintainer, Juri Lelli and
Vincent Guittot as scheduler submaintainers. Add Dietmar Eggemann,

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

SD_BALANCE_{FORK,EXEC} and SD_WAKE_AFFINE are stripped in sd_init()
for any sched domains with a NUMA distance greater than 2 hops
(RECLAIM_DISTANCE). The idea being that it's expensive to balance
across domains that far apart.
However, as is rather unfortunately explained in:
commit 32e45ff43e ("mm: increase RECLAIM_DISTANCE to 30")
the value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE is based on node distance tables from
2011-era hardware.
Current AMD EPYC machines have the following NUMA node distances:
node distances:
node 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
0: 10 16 16 16 32 32 32 32
1: 16 10 16 16 32 32 32 32
2: 16 16 10 16 32 32 32 32
3: 16 16 16 10 32 32 32 32
4: 32 32 32 32 10 16 16 16
5: 32 32 32 32 16 10 16 16
6: 32 32 32 32 16 16 10 16
7: 32 32 32 32 16 16 16 10
where 2 hops is 32.
The result is that the scheduler fails to load balance properly across
NUMA nodes on different sockets -- 2 hops apart.
For example, pinning 16 busy threads to NUMA nodes 0 (CPUs 0-7) and 4
(CPUs 32-39) like so,
$ numactl -C 0-7,32-39 ./spinner 16
causes all threads to fork and remain on node 0 until the active
balancer kicks in after a few seconds and forcibly moves some threads
to node 4.
Override node_reclaim_distance for AMD Zen.

Hyper-V guests use the default native_sched_clock() in
pv_ops.time.sched_clock on x86. But native_sched_clock() directly uses the
raw TSC value, which can be discontinuous in a Hyper-V VM.
Add the generic hv_setup_sched_clock() to set the sched clock function
appropriately. On x86, this sets pv_ops.time.sched_clock to read the
Hyper-V reference TSC value that is scaled and adjusted to be continuous.
Also move the Hyper-V reference TSC initialization much earlier in the boot
process so no discontinuity is observed when pv_ops.time.sched_clock
calculates its offset.

Currently, failure of cpuhp_setup_state() is ignored and the syscore ops
and the control interfaces can still be added even after the failure. But,
this error handling will cause a few issues:
1. The CPUs may have different values in the IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL
MSR because there is no way to roll back the control MSR on
the CPUs which already set the MSR before the failure.
2. If the sysfs interface is added successfully, there will be a mismatch
between the global control value and the control MSR:
- The interface shows the default global control value. But,
the control MSR is not set to the value because the CPU online
function, which is supposed to set the MSR to the value,
is not installed.
- If the sysadmin changes the global control value through
the interface, the control MSR on all current online CPUs is
set to the new value. But, the control MSR on newly onlined CPUs
after the value change will not be set to the new value due to
lack of the CPU online function.
3. On resume from suspend/hibernation, the boot CPU restores the control
MSR to the global control value through the syscore ops. But, the
control MSR on all APs is not set due to lake of the CPU online
function.
To solve the issues and enforce consistent behavior on the failure
of the CPU hotplug setup, make the following changes:
1. Cache the original control MSR value which is configured by
hardware or BIOS before kernel boot. This value is likely to
be 0. But it could be a different number as well. Cache the
control MSR only once before the MSR is changed.
2. Add the CPU offline function so that the MSR is restored to the
original control value on all CPUs on the failure.
3. On the failure, exit from cpumait_init() so that the syscore ops
and the control interfaces are not added.

We currently do not process SRAO (Software Recoverable Action Optional)
machine checks if they are logged with the overflow bit set to 1 in the
machine check bank status register. This is overly conservative.
There are two cases where we could end up with an SRAO+OVER log based
on the SDM volume 3 overwrite rules in "Table 15-8. Overwrite Rules for
UC, CE, and UCR Errors"
1) First a corrected error is logged, then the SRAO error overwrites.
The second error overwrites the first because uncorrected errors
have a higher severity than corrected errors.
2) The SRAO error was logged first, followed by a correcetd error.
In this case the first error is retained in the bank.
So in either case the machine check bank will contain the address
of the SRAO error. So we can process that even if the overflow bit
was set.

Intel provided the following information:
On all current Atom processors, instructions that use a segment register
value (e.g. a load or store) will not speculatively execute before the
last writer of that segment retires. Thus they will not use a
speculatively written segment value.
That means on ATOMs there is no speculation through SWAPGS, so the SWAPGS
entry paths can be excluded from the extra LFENCE if PTI is disabled.
Create a separate bug flag for the through SWAPGS speculation and mark all
out-of-order ATOMs and AMD/HYGON CPUs as not affected. The in-order ATOMs
are excluded from the whole mitigation mess anyway.

The IPI shorthand functionality delivers IPI/NMI broadcasts to all CPUs in
the system. This can have similar side effects as the MCE broadcasting when
CPUs are waiting in the BIOS or are offlined.
The kernel tracks already the state of offlined CPUs whether they have been
brought up at least once so that the CR4 MCE bit is set to make sure that
MCE broadcasts can't brick the machine.
Utilize that information and compare it to the cpu_present_mask. If all
present CPUs have been brought up at least once then the broadcast side
effect is mitigated by disabling regular interrupt/IPI delivery in the APIC
itself and by the cpu offline check at the begin of the NMI handler.
Use a static key to switch between broadcasting via shorthands or sending
the IPI/NMI one by one.

AMD and Intel both have serializing lfence (X86_FEATURE_LFENCE_RDTSC).
They've both had it for a long time, and AMD has had it enabled in Linux
since Spectre v1 was announced.
Back then, there was a proposal to remove the serializing mfence feature
bit (X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC), since both AMD and Intel have
serializing lfence. At the time, it was (ahem) speculated that some
hypervisors might not yet support its removal, so it remained for the
time being.
Now a year-and-a-half later, it should be safe to remove.
I asked Andrew Cooper about whether it's still needed:
So if you're virtualised, you've got no choice in the matter. lfence
is either dispatch-serialising or not on AMD, and you won't be able to
change it.
Furthermore, you can't accurately tell what state the bit is in, because
the MSR might not be virtualised at all, or may not reflect the true
state in hardware. Worse still, attempting to set the bit may not be
successful even if there isn't a fault for doing so.
Xen sets the DE_CFG bit unconditionally, as does Linux by the looks of
things (see MSR_F10H_DECFG_LFENCE_SERIALIZE_BIT). ISTR other hypervisor
vendors saying the same, but I don't have any information to hand.
If you are running under a hypervisor which has been updated, then
lfence will almost certainly be dispatch-serialising in practice, and
you'll almost certainly see the bit already set in DE_CFG. If you're
running under a hypervisor which hasn't been patched since Spectre,
you've already lost in many more ways.
I'd argue that X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC is not worth keeping.
So remove it. This will reduce some code rot, and also make it easier
to hook barrier_nospec() up to a cmdline disable for performance
raisins, without having to need an alternative_3() macro.

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.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A collection of assorted fixes:
- Fix for the pinned cr0/4 fallout which escaped all testing efforts
because the kvm-intel module was never loaded when the kernel was
compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n. The cr0/4 accessors are moved out
of line and static key is now solely used in the core code and
therefore can stay in the RO after init section. So the kvm-intel
and other modules do not longer reference the (read only) static
key which the module loader tried to update.
- Prevent an infinite loop in arch_stack_walk_user() by breaking out
of the loop once the return address is detected to be 0.
- Prevent the int3_emulate_call() selftest from corrupting the stack
when KASAN is enabled. KASASN clobbers more registers than covered
by the emulated call implementation. Convert the int3_magic()
selftest to a ASM function so the compiler cannot KASANify it.
- Unbreak the build with old GCC versions and with the Gold linker by
reverting the 'Move of _etext to the actual end of .text'. In both
cases the build fails with 'Invalid absolute R_X86_64_32S
relocation: _etext'
- Initialize the context lock for init_mm, which was never an issue
until the alternatives code started to use a temporary mm for
patching.
- Fix a build warning vs. the LOWMEM_PAGES constant where clang
complains rightfully about a signed integer overflow in the shift
operation by converting the operand to an ULL.

The pinning of sensitive CR0 and CR4 bits caused a boot crash when loading
the kvm_intel module on a kernel compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n.
The reason is that the static key which controls the pinning is marked RO
after init. The kvm_intel module contains a CR4 write which requires to
update the static key entry list. That obviously does not work when the key
is in a RO section.
With CONFIG_PARAVIRT enabled this does not happen because the CR4 write
uses the paravirt indirection and the actual write function is built in.
As the key is intended to be immutable after init, move
native_write_cr0/4() out of line.
While at it consolidate the update of the cr4 shadow variable and store the
value right away when the pinning is initialized on a booting CPU. No point
in reading it back 20 instructions later. This allows to confine the static
key and the pinning variable to cpu/common and allows to mark them static.

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.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
"A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
task.
The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.
Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.
This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

"Updates for x86 CPU features:
- Support for UMWAIT/UMONITOR, which allows to use MWAIT and MONITOR
instructions in user space to save power e.g. in HPC workloads
which spin wait on synchronization points.
The maximum time a MWAIT can halt in userspace is controlled by the
kernel and can be adjusted by the sysadmin.
- Speed up the MTRR handling code on CPUs which support cache
self-snooping correctly.
On those CPUs the wbinvd() invocations can be omitted which speeds
up the MTRR setup by a factor of 50.
- Support for the new x86 vendor Zhaoxin who develops processors
based on the VIA Centaur technology.
- Prevent 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' from affecting isolated NOHZ_FULL CPUs
by sending IPIs to retrieve the CPU frequency and use the cached
values instead.
- The addition and late revert of the FSGSBASE support. The revert
was required as it turned out that the code still has hard to
diagnose issues. Yet another engineering trainwreck...

Pull x96 apic updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for the x86 APIC interrupt handling and APIC timer:
- Fix a long standing issue with spurious interrupts which was caused
by the big vector management rework a few years ago. Robert Hodaszi
provided finally enough debug data and an excellent initial failure
analysis which allowed to understand the underlying issues.
This contains a change to the core interrupt management code which
is required to handle this correctly for the APIC/IO_APIC. The core
changes are NOOPs for most architectures except ARM64. ARM64 is not
impacted by the change as confirmed by Marc Zyngier.
- Newer systems allow to disable the PIT clock for power saving
causing panic in the timer interrupt delivery check of the IO/APIC
when the HPET timer is not enabled either. While the clock could be
turned on this would cause an endless whack a mole game to chase
the proper register in each affected chipset.
These systems provide the relevant frequencies for TSC, CPU and the
local APIC timer via CPUID and/or MSRs, which allows to avoid the
PIT/HPET based calibration. As the calibration code is the only
usage of the legacy timers on modern systems and is skipped anyway
when the frequencies are known already, there is no point in
setting up the PIT and actually checking for the interrupt delivery
via IO/APIC.
To achieve this on a wide variety of platforms, the CPUID/MSR based
frequency readout has been made more robust, which also allowed to
remove quite some workarounds which turned out to be not longer
required. Thanks to Daniel Drake for analysis, patches and
verification"

Core:
- The consolidation of the VDSO code into a generic library including

This gets rid of the unnecessary different copies of the same code

- Validate user input in the compat settimeofday() syscall to catch
invalid values which would be turned into valid values by a
multiplication overflow
- Consolidate the time accessors

The command line option `no387' is designed to disable the FPU
entirely. This only 'works' with CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION enabled.
But on 64bit this cannot work because user space expects SSE to work which
required basic FPU support. MATH_EMULATION does not help because SSE is not
emulated.
The command line option `nofxsr' should also be limited to 32bit because
FXSR is part of the required flags on 64bit so turning it off is not
possible.
Clearing X86_FEATURE_FPU without emulation enabled will not work anyway and
hang in fpu__init_system_early_generic() before the console is enabled.
Setting additioal dependencies, ensures that the CPU still boots on a
modern CPU. Otherwise, dropping FPU will leave FXSR enabled causing the
kernel to crash early in fpu__init_system_mxcsr().
With XSAVE support it will crash in fpu__init_cpu_xstate(). The problem is
that xsetbv() with XMM set and SSE cleared is not allowed. That means
XSAVE has to be disabled. The XSAVE support is disabled in
fpu__init_system_xstate_size_legacy() but it is too late. It can be
removed, it has been added in commit
1f999ab5a1 ("x86, xsave: Disable xsave in i387 emulation mode")
to use `no387' on a CPU with XSAVE support.
All this happens before console output.
After hat, the next possible crash is in RAID6 detect code because MMX
remained enabled. With a 3DNOW enabled config it will explode in memcpy()
for instance due to kernel_fpu_begin() but this is unconditionally enabled.
This is enough to boot a Debian Wheezy on a 32bit qemu "host" CPU which
supports everything up to XSAVES, AVX2 without 3DNOW. Later, Debian
increased the minimum requirements to i686 which means it does not boot
userland atleast due to CMOV.
After masking the additional features it still keeps SSE4A and 3DNOW*
enabled (if present on the host) but those are unused in the kernel.
Restrict `no387' and `nofxsr' otions to 32bit only. Add dependencies for
FPU, FXSR to additionaly mask CMOV, MMX, XSAVE if FXSR or FPU is cleared.
