2014-11-23uprobes, x86: Fix _TIF_UPROBE vs _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUMEAndy Lutomirski1-1/+1
x86 call do_notify_resume on paranoid returns if TIF_UPROBE is set but not on non-paranoid returns. I suspect that this is a mistake and that the code only works because int3 is paranoid. Setting _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in the uprobe code was probably a workaround for the x86 bug. With that bug fixed, we can remove _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME from the uprobes code.

2014-11-23x86_64, traps: Stop using IST for #SSAndy Lutomirski3-7/+6
On a 32-bit kernel, this has no effect, since there are no IST stacks. On a 64-bit kernel, #SS can only happen in user code, on a failed iret to user space, a canonical violation on access via RSP or RBP, or a genuine stack segment violation in 32-bit kernel code. The first two cases don't need IST, and the latter two cases are unlikely fatal bugs, and promoting them to double faults would be fine. This fixes a bug in which the espfix64 code mishandles a stack segment violation. This saves 4k of memory per CPU and a tiny bit of code.

2014-11-10x86/core, x86/xen/smp: Use 'die_complete' completion when taking CPU downBoris Ostrovsky1-0/+1
Commit 2ed53c0d6cc9 ("x86/smpboot: Speed up suspend/resume by avoiding 100ms sleep for CPU offline during S3") introduced completions to CPU offlining process. These completions are not initialized on Xen kernels causing a panic in play_dead_common(). Move handling of die_complete into common routines to make them available to Xen guests.

2014-10-28sched: stop the unbound recursion in preempt_schedule_context()Oleg Nesterov1-0/+1
preempt_schedule_context() does preempt_enable_notrace() at the end and this can call the same function again; exception_exit() is heavy and it is quite possible that need-resched is true again. 1. Change this code to dec preempt_count() and check need_resched() by hand. 2. As Linus suggested, we can use the PREEMPT_ACTIVE bit and avoid the enable/disable dance around __schedule(). But in this case we need to move into sched/core.c. 3. Cosmetic, but x86 forgets to declare this function. This doesn't really matter because it is only called by asm helpers, still it make sense to add the declaration into asm/preempt.h to match preempt_schedule().

Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini: "This is a pretty large update. I think it is roughly as big as what I usually had for the _whole_ rc period. There are a few bad bugs where the guest can OOPS or crash the host. We have also started looking at attack models for nested virtualization; bugs that usually result in the guest ring 0 crashing itself become more worrisome if you have nested virtualization, because the nested guest might bring down the non-nested guest as well. For current uses of nested virtualization these do not really have a security impact, but you never know and bugs are bugs nevertheless. A lot of these bugs are in 3.17 too, resulting in a large number of stable@ Ccs.

2014-10-24KVM: x86: Check non-canonical addresses upon WRMSRNadav Amit1-0/+14
Upon WRMSR, the CPU should inject #GP if a non-canonical value (address) is written to certain MSRs. The behavior is "almost" identical for AMD and Intel (ignoring MSRs that are not implemented in either architecture since they would anyhow #GP). However, IA32_SYSENTER_ESP and IA32_SYSENTER_EIP cause #GP if non-canonical address is written on Intel but not on AMD (which ignores the top 32-bits). Accordingly, this patch injects a #GP on the MSRs which behave identically on Intel and AMD. To eliminate the differences between the architecutres, the value which is written to IA32_SYSENTER_ESP and IA32_SYSENTER_EIP is turned to canonical value before writing instead of injecting a #GP. Some references from Intel and AMD manuals: According to Intel SDM description of WRMSR instruction #GP is expected on WRMSR "If the source register contains a non-canonical address and ECX specifies one of the following MSRs: IA32_DS_AREA, IA32_FS_BASE, IA32_GS_BASE, IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE, IA32_LSTAR, IA32_SYSENTER_EIP, IA32_SYSENTER_ESP." According to AMD manual instruction manual: LSTAR/CSTAR (SYSCALL): "The WRMSR instruction loads the target RIP into the LSTAR and CSTAR registers. If an RIP written by WRMSR is not in canonical form, a general-protection exception (#GP) occurs." IA32_GS_BASE and IA32_FS_BASE (WRFSBASE/WRGSBASE): "The address written to the base field must be in canonical form or a #GP fault will occur." IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE (SWAPGS): "The address stored in the KernelGSbase MSR must be in canonical form." This patch fixes CVE-2014-3610.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo: "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other inconsistent operations. This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr(). Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr(). This converts most of the uses but not all.

2014-10-09mm: remove misleading ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONEMel Gorman1-0/+14
ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE was defined for architectures that implemented _PAGE_NUMA using _PROT_NONE. This saved using an additional PTE bit and relied on the fact that PROT_NONE vmas were skipped by the NUMA hinting fault scanner. This was found to be conceptually confusing with a lot of implicit assumptions and it was asked that an alternative be found. Commit c46a7c81 "x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on the PMD and PTE levels" redefined _PAGE_NUMA on x86 to be one of the swap PTE bits and shrunk the maximum possible swap size but it did not go far enough. There are no architectures that reuse _PROT_NONE as _PROT_NUMA but the relics still exist. This patch removes ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE and removes some unnecessary duplication in powerpc vs the generic implementation by defining the types the core NUMA helpers expected to exist from x86 with their ppc64 equivalent. This necessitated that a PTE bit mask be created that identified the bits that distinguish present from NUMA pte entries but it is expected this will only differ between arches based on _PAGE_PROTNONE. The naming for the generic helpers was taken from x86 originally but ppc64 has types that are equivalent for the purposes of the helper so they are mapped instead of duplicating code.

2014-10-03efi: Delete the in_nmi() conditional runtime lockingMatt Fleming1-2/+0
commit 5dc3826d9f08 ("efi: Implement mandatory locking for UEFI Runtime Services") implemented some conditional locking when accessing variable runtime services that Ingo described as "pretty disgusting". The intention with the !efi_in_nmi() checks was to avoid live-locks when trying to write pstore crash data into an EFI variable. Such lockless accesses are allowed according to the UEFI specification when we're in a "non-recoverable" state, but whether or not things are implemented correctly in actual firmware implementations remains an unanswered question, and so it would seem sensible to avoid doing any kind of unsynchronized variable accesses. Furthermore, the efi_in_nmi() tests are inadequate because they don't account for the case where we call EFI variable services from panic or oops callbacks and aren't executing in NMI context. In other words, live-locking is still possible. Let's just remove the conditional locking altogether. Now we've got the ->set_variable_nonblocking() EFI variable operation we can abort if the runtime lock is already held. Aborting is by far the safest option.

2014-10-03x86/efi: Mark initialization code as suchMathias Krause1-10/+10
The 32 bit and 64 bit implementations differ in their __init annotations for some functions referenced from the common EFI code. Namely, the 32 bit variant is missing some of the __init annotations the 64 bit variant has. To solve the colliding annotations, mark the corresponding functions in efi_32.c as initialization code, too -- as it is such. Actually, quite a few more functions are only used during initialization and therefore can be marked __init. They are therefore annotated, too. Also add the __init annotation to the prototypes in the efi.h header so users of those functions will see it's meant as initialization code only. This patch also fixes the "prelog" typo.

2014-10-03efi: Implement mandatory locking for UEFI Runtime ServicesArd Biesheuvel1-0/+2
According to section 7.1 of the UEFI spec, Runtime Services are not fully reentrant, and there are particular combinations of calls that need to be serialized. Use a spinlock to serialize all Runtime Services with respect to all others, even if this is more than strictly needed. We've managed to get away without requiring a runtime services lock until now because most of the interactions with EFI involve EFI variables, and those operations are already serialised with __efivars->lock. Some of the assumptions underlying the decision whether locks are needed or not (e.g., SetVariable() against ResetSystem()) may not apply universally to all [new] architectures that implement UEFI. Rather than try to reason our way out of this, let's just implement at least what the spec requires in terms of locking.

1. We were calling clear_flush_young_notify in unmap_one, but we are within an mmu notifier invalidate range scope. The spte exists no more (due to range_start) and the accessed bit info has already been propagated (due to kvm_pfn_set_accessed). Simply call clear_flush_young. 2. We clear_flush_young on a primary MMU PMD, but this may be mapped as a collection of PTEs by the secondary MMU (e.g. during log-dirty). This required expanding the interface of the clear_flush_young mmu notifier, so a lot of code has been trivially touched. 3. In the absence of shadow_accessed_mask (e.g. EPT A bit), we emulate the access bit by blowing the spte. This requires proper synchronizing with MMU notifier consumers, like every other removal of spte's does.

On x86_64, kernel text mappings are mapped read-only with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. In that case, KVM will fail to patch VMCALL instructions to VMMCALL as required on AMD processors. The failure mode is currently a divide-by-zero exception, which obviously is a KVM bug that has to be fixed. However, picking the right instruction between VMCALL and VMMCALL will be faster and will help if you cannot upgrade the hypervisor.

2014-09-23Revert "efi/x86: efistub: Move shared dependencies to <asm/efi.h>"Matt Fleming1-24/+0
This reverts commit f23cf8bd5c1f ("efi/x86: efistub: Move shared dependencies to <asm/efi.h>") as well as the x86 parts of commit f4f75ad5741f ("efi: efistub: Convert into static library"). The road leading to these two reverts is long and winding. The above two commits were merged during the v3.17 merge window and turned the common EFI boot stub code into a static library. This necessitated making some symbols global in the x86 boot stub which introduced new entries into the early boot GOT. The problem was that we weren't fixing up the newly created GOT entries before invoking the EFI boot stub, which sometimes resulted in hangs or resets. This failure was reported by Maarten on his Macbook pro. The proposed fix was commit 9cb0e394234d ("x86/efi: Fixup GOT in all boot code paths"). However, that caused issues for Linus when booting his Sony Vaio Pro 11. It was subsequently reverted in commit f3670394c29f. So that leaves us back with Maarten's Macbook pro not booting. At this stage in the release cycle the least risky option is to revert the x86 EFI boot stub to the pre-merge window code structure where we explicitly #include efi-stub-helper.c instead of linking with the static library. The arm64 code remains unaffected. We can take another swing at the x86 parts for v3.18.

2014-09-23x86: remove the Xen-specific _PAGE_IOMAP PTE flagDavid Vrabel1-6/+5
The _PAGE_IO_MAP PTE flag was only used by Xen PV guests to mark PTEs that were used to map I/O regions that are 1:1 in the p2m. This allowed Xen to obtain the correct PFN when converting the MFNs read from a PTE back to their PFN. Xen guests no longer use _PAGE_IOMAP for this. Instead mfn_to_pfn() returns the correct PFN by using a combination of the m2p and p2m to determine if an MFN corresponds to a 1:1 mapping in the the p2m. Remove _PAGE_IOMAP, replacing it with _PAGE_UNUSED2 to allow for future uses of the PTE flag. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Acked-by: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com>

2014-09-17kvm: Remove ept_identity_pagetable from struct kvm_arch.Tang Chen1-1/+0
kvm_arch->ept_identity_pagetable holds the ept identity pagetable page. But it is never used to refer to the page at all. In vcpu initialization, it indicates two things: 1. indicates if ept page is allocated 2. indicates if a memory slot for identity page is initialized Actually, kvm_arch->ept_identity_pagetable_done is enough to tell if the ept identity pagetable is initialized. So we can remove ept_identity_pagetable. NOTE: In the original code, ept identity pagetable page is pinned in memroy. As a result, it cannot be migrated/hot-removed. After this patch, since kvm_arch->ept_identity_pagetable is removed, ept identity pagetable page is no longer pinned in memory. And it can be migrated/hot-removed.
