This change introduces an aged idle interface to the existing idle sysfs
file for zram.
When CONFIG_ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING is enabled the idle file now also
accepts an integer argument. This integer is the age (in seconds) of
pages to mark as idle. The idle file still supports 'all' as it always
has. This new approach allows for much more control over which pages
get marked as idle.

Commit e83a437faa62 ("mm/memory_hotplug: introduce "auto-movable" online
policy") introduced a new memory online policy to automatically select a
zone for memory blocks to be onlined. It added a way to set the active
online policy and tunables for the auto-movable online policy.
Follow-up commits tweaked the "auto-movable" policy to also consider
memory device details when selecting zones for memory blocks to be
onlined.
Let's document the new toggles and how the two online policies we have
work.

We can specify the number of hugepages to allocate at boot. But the
hugepages is balanced in all nodes at present. In some scenarios, we
only need hugepages in one node. For example: DPDK needs hugepages
which are in the same node as NIC.
If DPDK needs four hugepages of 1G size in node1 and system has 16 numa
nodes we must reserve 64 hugepages on the kernel cmdline. But only four
hugepages are used. The others should be free after boot. If the
system memory is low(for example: 64G), it will be an impossible task.
So extend the hugepages parameter to support specifying hugepages on a
specific node. For example add following parameter:
hugepagesz=1G hugepages=0:1,1:3
It will allocate 1 hugepage in node0 and 3 hugepages in node1.

Now the size of CMA area for gigantic hugepages runtime allocation is
balanced for all online nodes, but we also want to specify the size of
CMA per-node, or only one node in some cases, which are similar with
patch [1].
For example, on some multi-nodes systems, each node's memory can be
different, allocating the same size of CMA for each node is not suitable
for the low-memory nodes. Meanwhile some workloads like DPDK mentioned
by Zhenguo in patch [1] only need hugepages in one node.
On the other hand, we have some machines with multiple types of memory,
like DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). On this system, we may want to
specify all the hugepages only on DRAM node, or specify the proportion
of DRAM node and PMEM node, to tuning the performance of the workloads.
Thus this patch adds node format for 'hugetlb_cma' parameter to support
specifying the size of CMA per-node. An example is as follows:
hugetlb_cma=0:5G,2:5G
which means allocating 5G size of CMA area on node 0 and node 2
respectively. And the users should use the node specific sysfs file to
allocate the gigantic hugepages if specified the CMA size on that node.

Patch series "hugetlb: add demote/split page functionality", v4.
The concurrent use of multiple hugetlb page sizes on a single system is
becoming more common. One of the reasons is better TLB support for
gigantic page sizes on x86 hardware. In addition, hugetlb pages are
being used to back VMs in hosting environments.
When using hugetlb pages to back VMs, it is often desirable to
preallocate hugetlb pools. This avoids the delay and uncertainty of
allocating hugetlb pages at VM startup. In addition, preallocating huge
pages minimizes the issue of memory fragmentation that increases the
longer the system is up and running.
In such environments, a combination of larger and smaller hugetlb pages
are preallocated in anticipation of backing VMs of various sizes. Over
time, the preallocated pool of smaller hugetlb pages may become depleted
while larger hugetlb pages still remain. In such situations, it is
desirable to convert larger hugetlb pages to smaller hugetlb pages.
Converting larger to smaller hugetlb pages can be accomplished today by
first freeing the larger page to the buddy allocator and then allocating
the smaller pages. For example, to convert 50 GB pages on x86:
gb_pages=`cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages`
m2_pages=`cat .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages`
echo $(($gb_pages - 50)) > .../hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
echo $(($m2_pages + 25600)) > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
On an idle system this operation is fairly reliable and results are as
expected. The number of 2MB pages is increased as expected and the time
of the operation is a second or two.
However, when there is activity on the system the following issues
arise:
1) This process can take quite some time, especially if allocation of
the smaller pages is not immediate and requires migration/compaction.
2) There is no guarantee that the total size of smaller pages allocated
will match the size of the larger page which was freed. This is
because the area freed by the larger page could quickly be
fragmented.
In a test environment with a load that continually fills the page cache
with clean pages, results such as the following can be observed:
Unexpected number of 2MB pages allocated: Expected 25600, have 19944
real 0m42.092s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m41.467s
To address these issues, introduce the concept of hugetlb page demotion.
Demotion provides a means of 'in place' splitting of a hugetlb page to
pages of a smaller size. This avoids freeing pages to buddy and then
trying to allocate from buddy.
Page demotion is controlled via sysfs files that reside in the per-hugetlb
page size and per node directories.
- demote_size
Target page size for demotion, a smaller huge page size. File
can be written to chose a smaller huge page size if multiple are
available.
- demote
Writable number of hugetlb pages to be demoted
To demote 50 GB huge pages, one would:
cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/free_hugepages /* optional, verify free pages */
cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/demote_size /* optional, verify target size */
echo 50 > .../hugepages-1048576kB/demote
Only hugetlb pages which are free at the time of the request can be
demoted. Demotion does not add to the complexity of surplus pages and
honors reserved huge pages. Therefore, when a value is written to the
sysfs demote file, that value is only the maximum number of pages which
will be demoted. It is possible fewer will actually be demoted. The
recently introduced per-hstate mutex is used to synchronize demote
operations with other operations that modify hugetlb pools.
Real world use cases
--------------------
The above scenario describes a real world use case where hugetlb pages
are used to back VMs on x86. Both issues of long allocation times and
not necessarily getting the expected number of smaller huge pages after
a free and allocate cycle have been experienced. The occurrence of
these issues is dependent on other activity within the host and can not
be predicted.
This patch (of 5):
Two new sysfs files are added to demote hugtlb pages. These files are
both per-hugetlb page size and per node. Files are:
demote_size - The size in Kb that pages are demoted to. (read-write)
demote - The number of huge pages to demote. (write-only)
By default, demote_size is the next smallest huge page size. Valid huge
page sizes less than huge page size may be written to this file. When
huge pages are demoted, they are demoted to this size.
Writing a value to demote will result in an attempt to demote that
number of hugetlb pages to an appropriate number of demote_size pages.
NOTE: Demote interfaces are only provided for huge page sizes if there
is a smaller target demote huge page size. For example, on x86 1GB huge
pages will have demote interfaces. 2MB huge pages will not have demote
interfaces.
This patch does not provide full demote functionality. It only provides
the sysfs interfaces.
It also provides documentation for the new interfaces.

This patch follows the discussions on previous documentation patch
threads [1][2]. It presents the exception case of shared memory
management from the pagemap's point of view. It briefly describes what
is missing, why it is missing and alternatives to the pagemap for page
info retrieval in user space.
In short, the kernel does not keep track of PTEs for swapped out shared
pages within the processes that references them. Thus, the
proc/pid/pagemap tool cannot print the swap destination of the shared
memory pages, instead setting the pagemap entry to zero for both
non-allocated and swapped out pages. This can create confusion for
users who need information on swapped out pages.
The reasons why maintaining the PTEs of all swapped out shared pages
among all processes while maintaining similar performance is not a
trivial task, or a desirable change, have been discussed extensively
[1][3][4][5]. There are also arguments for why this arguably missing
information should eventually be exposed to the user in either a future
pagemap patch, or by an alternative tool.

The deprecation process of kmem.limit_in_bytes started with the commit
0158115f702 ("memcg, kmem: deprecate kmem.limit_in_bytes") which also
explains in detail the motivation behind the deprecation. To summarize,
it is the unexpected behavior on hitting the kmem limit. This patch
moves the deprecation process to the next stage by disallowing to set
the kmem limit. In future we might just remove the kmem.limit_in_bytes
file completely.

When running as PVH or HVM guest with actual memory < max memory the
hypervisor is using "populate on demand" in order to allow the guest
to balloon down from its maximum memory size. For this to work
correctly the guest must not touch more memory pages than its target
memory size as otherwise the PoD cache will be exhausted and the guest
is crashed as a result of that.
In extreme cases ballooning down might not be finished today before
the init process is started, which can consume lots of memory.
In order to avoid random boot crashes in such cases, add a late init
call to wait for ballooning down having finished for PVH/HVM guests.
Warn on console if initial ballooning fails, panic() after stalling
for more than 3 minutes per default. Add a module parameter for
changing this timeout.

Pull seccomp updates from Kees Cook:
"These are x86-specific, but I carried these since they're also

This flips the defaults for spec_store_bypass_disable and

to allow system owners to have updated the defensive stances of their
various workloads, and it's long overdue to unpessimize seccomp

Pull x86 fpu updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Cleanup of extable fixup handling to be more robust, which in turn
allows to make the FPU exception fixups more robust as well.
- Change the return code for signal frame related failures from
explicit error codes to a boolean fail/success as that's all what the
calling code evaluates.
- A large refactoring of the FPU code to prepare for adding AMX
support:
- Distangle the public header maze and remove especially the
misnomed kitchen sink internal.h which is despite it's name
included all over the place.
- Add a proper abstraction for the register buffer storage (struct
fpstate) which allows to dynamically size the buffer at runtime
by flipping the pointer to the buffer container from the default
container which is embedded in task_struct::tread::fpu to a
dynamically allocated container with a larger register buffer.
- Convert the code over to the new fpstate mechanism.
- Consolidate the KVM FPU handling by moving the FPU related code
into the FPU core which removes the number of exports and avoids
adding even more export when AMX has to be supported in KVM.
This also removes duplicated code which was of course
unnecessary different and incomplete in the KVM copy.
- Simplify the KVM FPU buffer handling by utilizing the new
fpstate container and just switching the buffer pointer from the
user space buffer to the KVM guest buffer when entering
vcpu_run() and flipping it back when leaving the function. This
cuts the memory requirements of a vCPU for FPU buffers in half
and avoids pointless memory copy operations.
This also solves the so far unresolved problem of adding AMX
support because the current FPU buffer handling of KVM inflicted
a circular dependency between adding AMX support to the core and
to KVM. With the new scheme of switching fpstate AMX support can
be added to the core code without affecting KVM.
- Replace various variables with proper data structures so the
extra information required for adding dynamically enabled FPU
features (AMX) can be added in one place
- Add AMX (Advanced Matrix eXtensions) support (finally):
AMX is a large XSTATE component which is going to be available with
Saphire Rapids XEON CPUs. The feature comes with an extra MSR
(MSR_XFD) which allows to trap the (first) use of an AMX related
instruction, which has two benefits:
1) It allows the kernel to control access to the feature
2) It allows the kernel to dynamically allocate the large register
state buffer instead of burdening every task with the the extra
8K or larger state storage.
It would have been great to gain this kind of control already with
AVX512.
The support comes with the following infrastructure components:
1) arch_prctl() to
- read the supported features (equivalent to XGETBV(0))
- read the permitted features for a task
- request permission for a dynamically enabled feature
Permission is granted per process, inherited on fork() and
cleared on exec(). The permission policy of the kernel is
restricted to sigaltstack size validation, but the syscall
obviously allows further restrictions via seccomp etc.
2) A stronger sigaltstack size validation for sys_sigaltstack(2)
which takes granted permissions and the potentially resulting
larger signal frame into account. This mechanism can also be used
to enforce factual sigaltstack validation independent of dynamic
features to help with finding potential victims of the 2K
sigaltstack size constant which is broken since AVX512 support
was added.
3) Exception handling for #NM traps to catch first use of a extended
feature via a new cause MSR. If the exception was caused by the
use of such a feature, the handler checks permission for that
feature. If permission has not been granted, the handler sends a
SIGILL like the #UD handler would do if the feature would have
been disabled in XCR0. If permission has been granted, then a new
fpstate which fits the larger buffer requirement is allocated.
In the unlikely case that this allocation fails, the handler
sends SIGSEGV to the task. That's not elegant, but unavoidable as
the other discussed options of preallocation or full per task
permissions come with their own set of horrors for kernel and/or
userspace. So this is the lesser of the evils and SIGSEGV caused
by unexpected memory allocation failures is not a fundamentally
new concept either.
When allocation succeeds, the fpstate properties are filled in to
reflect the extended feature set and the resulting sizes, the
fpu::fpstate pointer is updated accordingly and the trap is
disarmed for this task permanently.
4) Enumeration and size calculations
5) Trap switching via MSR_XFD
The XFD (eXtended Feature Disable) MSR is context switched with
the same life time rules as the FPU register state itself. The
mechanism is keyed off with a static key which is default
disabled so !AMX equipped CPUs have zero overhead. On AMX enabled
CPUs the overhead is limited by comparing the tasks XFD value
with a per CPU shadow variable to avoid redundant MSR writes. In
case of switching from a AMX using task to a non AMX using task
or vice versa, the extra MSR write is obviously inevitable.
All other places which need to be aware of the variable feature
sets and resulting variable sizes are not affected at all because
they retrieve the information (feature set, sizes) unconditonally
from the fpstate properties.
6) Enable the new AMX states
Note, this is relatively new code despite the fact that AMX support
is in the works for more than a year now.
The big refactoring of the FPU code, which allowed to do a proper
integration has been started exactly 3 weeks ago. Refactoring of the
existing FPU code and of the original AMX patches took a week and has
been subject to extensive review and testing. The only fallout which
has not been caught in review and testing right away was restricted
to AMX enabled systems, which is completely irrelevant for anyone
outside Intel and their early access program. There might be dragons
lurking as usual, but so far the fine grained refactoring has held up
and eventual yet undetected fallout is bisectable and should be
easily addressable before the 5.16 release. Famous last words...
Many thanks to Chang Bae and Dave Hansen for working hard on this and
also to the various test teams at Intel who reserved extra capacity
to follow the rapid development of this closely which provides the
confidence level required to offer this rather large update for
inclusion into 5.16-rc1

leak the raw value in case that the symbol is not resolvable.
- Make wchan() more robust and work with all kind of unwinders by
enforcing that the task stays blocked while unwinding is in progress.
- Prevent sched_fork() from accessing an invalid sched_task_group
- Improve asymmetric packing logic
- Extend scheduler statistics to RT and DL scheduling classes and add
statistics for bandwith burst to the SCHED_FAIR class.
- Properly account SCHED_IDLE entities
- Prevent a potential deadlock when initial priority is assigned to a
newly created kthread. A recent change to plug a race between cpuset

Some applications map the same memory area for DMA multiple times while
also mapping significant amounts of memory. With our current DMA code
these applications will run out of DMA addresses after mapping half of
the available memory because the number of DMA mappings is constrained
by the number of concurrently active DMA addresses we support which in
turn is limited by the minimum of hardware constraints and high_memory.
Limiting the number of active DMA addresses to high_memory is only
a heuristic to save memory used by the iommu_bitmap and DMA page tables
however. This was added under the assumption that it rarely makes sense
to DMA map more than system memory.
To accommodate special applications which insist on double mapping, which
works on other platforms, allow specifying a factor of how many times
installed memory is available as DMA address space. Use 0 as a special
value to apply no constraints beyond what hardware dictates at the
expense of significantly more memory use.

For historical reasons MINSIGSTKSZ is a constant which became already too
small with AVX512 support.
Add a mechanism to enforce strict checking of the sigaltstack size against
the real size of the FPU frame.
The strict check can be enabled via a config option and can also be
controlled via the kernel command line option 'strict_sas_size' independent
of the config switch.
Enabling it might break existing applications which allocate a too small
sigaltstack but 'work' because they never get a signal delivered. Though it
can be handy to filter out binaries which are not yet aware of
AT_MINSIGSTKSZ.
Also the upcoming support for dynamically enabled FPU features requires a
strict sanity check to ensure that:
- Enabling of a dynamic feature, which changes the sigframe size fits
into an enabled sigaltstack
- Installing a too small sigaltstack after a dynamic feature has been
added is not possible.
Implement the base check which is controlled by config and command line
options.

Currently, the NX huge page recovery thread wakes up every minute and
zaps 1/nx_huge_pages_recovery_ratio of the total number of split NX
huge pages at a time. This is intended to ensure that only a
relatively small number of pages get zapped at a time. But for very
large VMs (or more specifically, VMs with a large number of
executable pages), a period of 1 minute could still result in this
number being too high (unless the ratio is changed significantly,
but that can result in split pages lingering on for too long).
This change makes the period configurable instead of fixing it at
1 minute. Users of large VMs can then adjust the period and/or the
ratio to reduce the number of pages zapped at one time while still
maintaining the same overall duration for cycling through the
entire list. By default, KVM derives a period from the ratio such
that a page will remain on the list for 1 hour on average.

adjust current v*pr_info() calls to fit an overview..detail scheme:
1- module level activity: add/remove, etc
2- command ingest, splitting, summary of effects.
per >control write
3- command parsing: op, flags, search terms
4- per-site change msg
can yield ~3k x 2 logs per echo "+p;-p" > command.
Summarize these 4 levels in MODULE_PARM_DESC, and update verbose=3 in Doc.
2- is new, to isolate a problem where a stress-test script (which
feeds ~4kb multi-command strings) would produce short writes,
truncating last command and causing parsing errors, which confused
test results. The script fix was to use syswrite, to deliver full
proper commands.
4- gets per-callsite "changed:" pr-infos, which are very noisy during
stress tests, and formerly obscured v1-3 messages, and overwhelmed the
static-key workload being tested.
The verbose parameter has previously seen adjustment:
commit 481c0e33f1e7 ("dyndbg: refine debug verbosity; 1 is basic, 2 more chatty")
The script driving these adjustments is:
!/usr/bin/perl -w
=for Doc
1st purpose was to benchmark the effect of wildcard queries on query
performance; if wildcards are risk free cheap enough, we can deploy
them in the (floating) format search. 1st finding: wildcards take 2x
as long to process.
2nd purpose was to benchmark real static-key changes VS simple flag
changes. Found ~100x decrease for the hard work.
The script maximizes workload per >control by packing it a ~4kb
string of "+p; -p;" commands; this uncovered some broken stuff.
The 85th query failed, and appears to be truncated, so is gramatically
incorrect. Its either an error here, or in the kernel. Its not
happening atm, retest.
Plot thickens: fail only happens doing +-p, not +-mf, likely load
dependent. Error remains consistent. Looks like a short write,
longer on writer than kernel-reader. Try syswrite on handle to
control this. That fixed short write.

Both ACPI and DT provide the ability to describe additional layers of
topology between that of individual cores and higher level constructs
such as the level at which the last level cache is shared.
In ACPI this can be represented in PPTT as a Processor Hierarchy
Node Structure [1] that is the parent of the CPU cores and in turn
has a parent Processor Hierarchy Nodes Structure representing
a higher level of topology.
For example Kunpeng 920 has 6 or 8 clusters in each NUMA node, and each
cluster has 4 cpus. All clusters share L3 cache data, but each cluster
has local L3 tag. On the other hand, each clusters will share some
internal system bus.

That means spreading tasks among clusters will bring more bandwidth
while packing tasks within one cluster will lead to smaller cache
synchronization latency. So both kernel and userspace will have
a chance to leverage this topology to deploy tasks accordingly to
achieve either smaller cache latency within one cluster or an even
distribution of load among clusters for higher throughput.
This patch exposes cluster topology to both kernel and userspace.
Libraried like hwloc will know cluster by cluster_cpus and related
sysfs attributes. PoC of HWLOC support at [2].
Note this patch only handle the ACPI case.
Special consideration is needed for SMT processors, where it is
necessary to move 2 levels up the hierarchy from the leaf nodes
(thus skipping the processor core level).
Note that arm64 / ACPI does not provide any means of identifying
a die level in the topology but that may be unrelate to the cluster
level.

Jim pointed out that using $module.dyndbg= is always a more flexible
choice for using dynamic debug on the command line. The $module.dyndbg
style is checked at boot and handles if $module is a builtin. If it is
actually a loadable module, it is handled again later when the module is
loaded.
If you just use dyndbg="module $module +p" dynamic debug is only enabled
when $module is a builtin.
It was recommended to illustrate wildcard usage as well.

Recent changes to KVM for arm64 has made it impossible for the host to
hibernate or use kexec when protected mode is enabled via the kernel
command line.
There are people who rely on kexec (for example, developers who use kexec
as a quick way to test a new kernel), let's document this change in
behaviour, so it doesn't catch them by surprise and we have a place to
point people to if it does.

Although KVM can be compiled out of the kernel, it cannot be disabled
at runtime. Allow this possibility by introducing a new mode that
will prevent KVM from initialising.
This is useful in the (limited) circumstances where you don't want
KVM to be available (what is wrong with you?), or when you want
to install another hypervisor instead (good luck with that).

Switch the kernel default of SSBD and STIBP to the ones with
CONFIG_SECCOMP=n (i.e. spec_store_bypass_disable=prctl
spectre_v2_user=prctl) even if CONFIG_SECCOMP=y.
Several motivations listed below:
- If SMT is enabled the seccomp jail can still attack the rest of the
system even with spectre_v2_user=seccomp by using MDS-HT (except on
XEON PHI where MDS can be tamed with SMT left enabled, but that's a
special case). Setting STIBP become a very expensive window dressing
after MDS-HT was discovered.
- The seccomp jail cannot attack the kernel with spectre-v2-HT
regardless (even if STIBP is not set), but with MDS-HT the seccomp
jail can attack the kernel too.
- With spec_store_bypass_disable=prctl the seccomp jail can attack the
other userland (guest or host mode) using spectre-v2-HT, but the
userland attack is already mitigated by both ASLR and pid namespaces
for host userland and through virt isolation with libkrun or
kata. (if something if somebody is worried about spectre-v2-HT it's
best to mount proc with hidepid=2,gid=proc on workstations where not
all apps may run under container runtimes, rather than slowing down
all seccomp jails, but the best is to add pid namespaces to the
seccomp jail). As opposed MDS-HT is not mitigated and the seccomp
jail can still attack all other host and guest userland if SMT is
enabled even with spec_store_bypass_disable=seccomp.
- If full security is required then MDS-HT must also be mitigated with
nosmt and then spectre_v2_user=prctl and spectre_v2_user=seccomp
would become identical.
- Setting spectre_v2_user=seccomp is overall lower priority than to
setting javascript.options.wasm false in about:config to protect
against remote wasm MDS-HT, instead of worrying about Spectre-v2-HT
and STIBP which again is already statistically well mitigated by
other means in userland and it's fully mitigated in kernel with
retpolines (unlike the wasm assist call with MDS-HT).
- SSBD is needed to prevent reading the JIT memory and the primary
user being the OpenJDK. However the primary user of SSBD wouldn't be
covered by spec_store_bypass_disable=seccomp because it doesn't use
seccomp and the primary user also explicitly declined to set
PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL+PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS despite it easily
could. In fact it would need to set it only when the sandboxing
mechanism is enabled for javaws applets, but it still declined it by
declaring security within the same user address space as an
untenable objective for their JIT, even in the sandboxing case where
performance would be a lesser concern (for the record: I kind of
disagree in not setting PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS in the sandbox case and
I prefer to run javaws through a wrapper that sets
PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS if I need). In turn it can be inferred that
even if the primary user of SSBD would use seccomp, they would
invoke it with SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_SPEC_ALLOW by now.
- runc/crun already set SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_SPEC_ALLOW by default, k8s
and podman have a default json seccomp allowlist that cannot be
slowed down, so for the #1 seccomp user this change is already a
noop.
- systemd/sshd or other apps that use seccomp, if they really need
STIBP or SSBD, they need to explicitly set the
PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL by now. The stibp/ssbd seccomp blind
catch-all approach was done probably initially with a wishful
thinking objective to pretend to have a peace of mind that it could
magically fix it all. That was wishful thinking before MDS-HT was
discovered, but after MDS-HT has been discovered it become just
window dressing.
- For qemu "-sandbox" seccomp jail it wouldn't make sense to set STIBP
or SSBD. SSBD doesn't help with KVM because there's no JIT (if it's
needed with TCG it should be an opt-in with
PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL+PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS and it shouldn't
slowdown KVM for nothing). For qemu+KVM STIBP would be even more
window dressing than it is for all other apps, because in the
qemu+KVM case there's not only the MDS attack to worry about with
SMT enabled. Even after disabling SMT, there's still a theoretical
spectre-v2 attack possible within the same thread context from guest
mode to host ring3 that the host kernel retpoline mitigation has no
theoretical chance to mitigate. On some kernels a
ibrs-always/ibrs-retpoline opt-in model is provided that will
enabled IBRS in the qemu host ring3 userland which fixes this
theoretical concern. Only after enabling IBRS in the host userland
it would then make sense to proceed and worry about STIBP and an
attack on the other host userland, but then again SMT would need to
be disabled for full security anyway, so that would render STIBP
again a noop.
- last but not the least: the lack of "spec_store_bypass_disable=prctl
spectre_v2_user=prctl" means the moment a guest boots and
sshd/systemd runs, the guest kernel will write to SPEC_CTRL MSR
which will make the guest vmexit forever slower, forcing KVM to
issue a very slow rdmsr instruction at every vmexit. So the end
result is that SPEC_CTRL MSR is only available in GCE. Most other
public cloud providers don't expose SPEC_CTRL, which means that not
only STIBP/SSBD isn't available, but IBPB isn't available either
(which would cause no overhead to the guest or the hypervisor
because it's write only and requires no reading during vmexit). So
the current default already net loss in security (missing IBPB)
which means most public cloud providers cannot achieve a fully
secure guest with nosmt (and nosmt is enough to fully mitigate
MDS-HT). It also means GCE and is unfairly penalized in performance
because it provides the option to enable full security in the guest
as an opt-in (i.e. nosmt and IBPB). So this change will allow all
cloud providers to expose SPEC_CTRL without incurring into any
hypervisor slowdown and at the same time it will remove the unfair
penalization of GCE performance for doing the right thing and it'll
allow to get full security with nosmt with IBPB being available (and
STIBP becoming meaningless).
Example to put things in prospective: the STIBP enabled in seccomp has
never been about protecting apps using seccomp like sshd from an
attack from a malicious userland, but to the contrary it has always
been about protecting the system from an attack from sshd, after a
successful remote network exploit against sshd. In fact initially it
wasn't obvious STIBP would work both ways (STIBP was about preventing
the task that runs with STIBP to be attacked with spectre-v2-HT, but
accidentally in the STIBP case it also prevents the attack in the
other direction). In the hypothetical case that sshd has been remotely
exploited the last concern should be STIBP being set, because it'll be
still possible to obtain info even from the kernel by using MDS if
nosmt wasn't set (and if it was set, STIBP is a noop in the first
place). As opposed kernel cannot leak anything with spectre-v2 HT
because of retpolines and the userland is mitigated by ASLR already
and ideally PID namespaces too. If something it'd be worth checking if
sshd run the seccomp thread under pid namespaces too if available in
the running kernel. SSBD also would be a noop for sshd, since sshd
uses no JIT. If sshd prefers to keep doing the STIBP window dressing
exercise, it still can even after this change of defaults by opting-in
with PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH.
Ultimately setting SSBD and STIBP by default for all seccomp jails is
a bad sweet spot and bad default with more cons than pros that end up
reducing security in the public cloud (by giving an huge incentive to
not expose SPEC_CTRL which would be needed to get full security with
IBPB after setting nosmt in the guest) and by excessively hurting
performance to more secure apps using seccomp that end up having to
opt out with SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_SPEC_ALLOW.
The following is the verified result of the new default with SMT
enabled:
(gdb) print spectre_v2_user_stibp
$1 = SPECTRE_V2_USER_PRCTL
(gdb) print spectre_v2_user_ibpb
$2 = SPECTRE_V2_USER_PRCTL
(gdb) print ssb_mode
$3 = SPEC_STORE_BYPASS_PRCTL

Modify the scaler subdevice to accept setting the resolution of the source
pad (previously the source resolution would always be 3 times the sink for
both dimensions). Now any resolution can be set at src (even smaller ones)
and the sink video will be scaled to match it.
Test example: With the vimc module up (using the default vimc topology)
media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Sensor A":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]'
media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Debayer A":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]'
media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Scaler":0[fmt:RGB888_1X24/640x480]'
media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Scaler":0[crop:(100,50)/400x150]'
media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Scaler":1[fmt:RGB888_1X24/300x700]'
v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "RGB/YUV Capture" -v width=300,height=700

v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap --stream-count=10 -z platform:vimc -d "RGB/YUV Capture" \

The result will be a cropped stream that can be checked with the command
