As we need to add further flags to the bpf_prog structure, lets migrate
both bools to a bitfield representation. The size of the base structure
(excluding insns) remains unchanged at 40 bytes.
Add also tags for the kmemchecker, so that it doesn't throw false
positives. Even in case gcc would generate suboptimal code, it's not
being accessed in performance critical paths.

Pull KVM fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"(Relatively) a lot of reverts, mostly.
Bugs have trickled in for a new feature in 4.2 (MTRR support in
guests) so I'm reverting it all; let's not make this -rc period busier
for KVM than it's been so far. This covers the four reverts from me.
The fifth patch is being reverted because Radim found a bug in the
implementation of stable scheduler clock, *but* also managed to
implement the feature entirely without hypervisor support. So instead
of fixing the hypervisor side we can remove it completely; 4.4 will
get the new implementation"

The cpu feature flags are not ever going to change, so warning
everytime can cause a lot of kernel log spam
(in our case more than 10GB/hour).
The warning seems to only occur when nested virtualization is
enabled, so it's probably triggered by a KVM bug. This is a
sensible and safe change anyway, and the KVM bug fix might not
be suitable for stable releases anyway.

Shifting pvclock_vcpu_time_info.system_time on write to KVM system time
MSR is a change of ABI. Probably only 2.6.16 based SLES 10 breaks due
to its custom enhancements to kvmclock, but KVM never declared the MSR
only for one-shot initialization. (Doc says that only one write is
needed.)
This reverts commit b7e60c5aedd2b63f16ef06fde4f81ca032211bc5.

29ecd6601904 ("KVM: x86: avoid uninitialized variable warning",
2015-09-06) introduced a not-so-subtle problem, which probably
escaped review because it was not part of the patch context.
Before the patch, leaf was always equal to iterator.level. After,
it is equal to iterator.level - 1 in the call to is_shadow_zero_bits_set,
and when is_shadow_zero_bits_set does another "-1" the check on
reserved bits becomes incorrect. Using "iterator.level" in the call
fixes this call trace:

Intel CPUID on AMD host or vice versa is a weird case, but it can
happen. Handle it by checking the host CPU vendor instead of the
guest's in reset_tdp_shadow_zero_bits_mask. For speed, the
check uses the fact that Intel EPT has an X (executable) bit while
AMD NPT has NX.

kvm_set_cr0 may want to call kvm_zap_gfn_range and thus access the
memslots array (SRCU protected). Using a mini SRCU critical section
is ugly, and adding it to kvm_arch_vcpu_create doesn't work because
the VMX vcpu_create callback calls synchronize_srcu.

In not-instrumented code KASAN replaces instrumented memset/memcpy/memmove
with not-instrumented analogues __memset/__memcpy/__memove.
However, on x86 the EFI stub is not linked with the kernel. It uses
not-instrumented mem*() functions from arch/x86/boot/compressed/string.c
So we don't replace them with __mem*() variants in EFI stub.
On ARM64 the EFI stub is linked with the kernel, so we should replace
mem*() functions with __mem*(), because the EFI stub runs before KASAN
sets up early shadow.
So let's move these #undef mem* into arch's asm/efi.h which is also
included by the EFI stub.
Also, this will fix the warning in 32-bit build reported by kbuild test
robot:

The NMI entry code that switches to the normal kernel stack needs to
be very careful not to clobber any extra stack slots on the NMI
stack. The code is fine under the assumption that SWAPGS is just a
normal instruction, but that assumption isn't really true. Use
SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK instead.
This is part of a fix for some random crashes that Sasha saw.

PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME generates this code (using nmi as an
example, trimmed for readability):
ff 15 00 00 00 00 callq *0x0(%rip) # 2796 <nmi+0x6>
2792: R_X86_64_PC32 pv_irq_ops+0x2c
That's a call through a function pointer to regular C function that
does nothing on native boots, but that function isn't protected
against kprobes, isn't marked notrace, and is certainly not
guaranteed to preserve any registers if the compiler is feeling
perverse. This is bad news for a CLBR_NONE operation.
Of course, if everything works correctly, once paravirt ops are
patched, it gets nopped out, but what if we hit this code before
paravirt ops are patched in? This can potentially cause breakage
that is very difficult to debug.
A more subtle failure is possible here, too: if _paravirt_nop uses
the stack at all (even just to push RBP), it will overwrite the "NMI
executing" variable if it's called in the NMI prologue.
The Xen case, perhaps surprisingly, is fine, because it's already
written in asm.
Fix all of the cases that default to paravirt_nop (including
adjust_exception_frame) with a big hammer: replace paravirt_nop with
an asm function that is just a ret instruction.
The Xen case may have other problems, so document them.
This is part of a fix for some random crashes that Sasha saw.

These have roughly the same purpose as the SMRR, which we do not need

boot, which causes problems when running a Xen dom0 under KVM.
Just return 0, meaning that processor protection of SMRAM is not

What happens is that VCPU state right after offlinig:
CR0: 0x80050033 EFER: 0xd01 CR4: 0x7e0
-> long mode with CR3 pointing to longmode page tables
and when VCPU gets INIT/SIPI following transition happens
CR0: 0 -> 0x60000010 EFER: 0x0 CR4: 0x7e0
-> paging disabled with stale CR3
However SVM under the hood puts VCPU in Paged Real Mode*
which effectively translates CR0 0x60000010 -> 80010010 after
svm_vcpu_reset()
-> init_vmcb()
-> kvm_set_cr0()
-> svm_set_cr0()
but from kvm_set_cr0() perspective CR0: 0 -> 0x60000010
only caching bits are changed and
commit d81135a57aa6
("KVM: x86: do not reset mmu if CR0.CD and CR0.NW are changed")'
regressed svm_vcpu_reset() which relied on MMU being reset.
As result VMRUN after svm_vcpu_reset() tries to run
VCPU in Paged Real Mode with stale MMU context (longmode page tables),
which causes some AMD CPUs** to bail out with VMEXIT_INVALID.
Fix issue by unconditionally resetting MMU context
at init_vmcb() time.

Skylake has a new FRONTEND_LATENCY PEBS event to accurately profile
frontend problems (like ITLB or decoding issues).
The new event is configured through a separate MSR, which selects
a range of sub events.
Define the extra MSR as a extra reg and export support for it
through sysfs. To avoid duplicating the existing
tables use a new function to add new entries to existing tables.

The counter constraint for CYCLE_ACTIVITY.* on Broadwell covered

But actually only one sub event (umask 8) needs to be on counter 2,
all others do not have any constraint.

In 2007, commit 07190a08eef36 ("Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable")
bypassed verification of the TSC on Geode LX. However, this code
(now in the check_system_tsc_reliable() function in
arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c) was only present if CONFIG_MGEODE_LX was
set.
OpenWRT has recently started building its generic Geode target
for Geode GX, not LX, to include support for additional
platforms. This broke the timekeeping on LX-based devices,
because the TSC wasn't marked as reliable:
https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20531
By adding a runtime check on is_geode_lx(), we can also include
the fix if CONFIG_MGEODEGX1 or CONFIG_X86_GENERIC are set, thus
fixing the problem.

Reference SDM 28.1:
The current VPID is 0000H in the following situations:
- Outside VMX operation. (This includes operation in system-management
mode under the default treatment of SMIs and SMM with VMX operation;
see Section 34.14.)
- In VMX root operation.
- In VMX non-root operation when the “enable VPID” VM-execution control
is 0.
The VPID should never be 0000H in non-root operation when "enable VPID"
VM-execution control is 1. However, commit 34a1cd60 ("kvm: x86: vmx:
move some vmx setting from vmx_init() to hardware_setup()") remove the
codes which reserve 0000H for VMX root operation.
This patch fix it by again reserving 0000H for VMX root operation.

This new statistic can help diagnosing VCPUs that, for any reason,
trigger bad behavior of halt_poll_ns autotuning.
For example, say halt_poll_ns = 480000, and wakeups are spaced exactly
like 479us, 481us, 479us, 481us. Then KVM always fails polling and wastes
10+20+40+80+160+320+480 = 1110 microseconds out of every
479+481+479+481+479+481+479 = 3359 microseconds. The VCPU then
is consuming about 30% more CPU than it would use without
polling. This would show as an abnormally high number of
attempted polling compared to the successful polls.

Revert dff22d2054b5 ("PCI: Call pci_read_bridge_bases() from core instead
of arch code").
Reading PCI bridge windows is not arch-specific in itself, but there is PCI
core code that doesn't work correctly if we read them too early. For
example, Hannes found this case on an ARM Freescale i.mx6 board:
pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x01000000-0x01efffff]
pci 0000:00:00.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01-ff]
pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 8: no space for [mem size 0x01000000] (mem window)
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 2: failed to assign [mem size 0x00200000]
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 1: failed to assign [mem size 0x00004000]
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 0: failed to assign [mem size 0x00000100]
The 00:00.0 mem window needs to be at least 3MB: the 01:00.0 device needs
0x204100 of space, and mem windows are megabyte-aligned.
Bus sizing can increase a bridge window size, but never *decrease* it (see
d65245c3297a ("PCI: don't shrink bridge resources")). Prior to
dff22d2054b5, ARM didn't read bridge windows at all, so the "original size"
was zero, and we assigned a 3MB window.
After dff22d2054b5, we read the bridge windows before sizing the bus. The
firmware programmed a 16MB window (size 0x01000000) in 00:00.0, and since
we never decrease the size, we kept 16MB even though we only needed 3MB.
But 16MB doesn't fit in the host bridge aperture, so we failed to assign
space for the window and the downstream devices.
I think this is a defect in the PCI core: we shouldn't rely on the firmware
to assign sensible windows.
Ray reported a similar problem, also on ARM, with Broadcom iProc.
Issues like this are too hard to fix right now, so revert dff22d2054b5.

The APIC LVTT register is MMIO mapped but the TSC_DEADLINE register is an
MSR. The write to the TSC_DEADLINE MSR is not serializing, so it's not
guaranteed that the write to LVTT has reached the APIC before the
TSC_DEADLINE MSR is written. In such a case the write to the MSR is
ignored and as a consequence the local timer interrupt never fires.
The SDM decribes this issue for xAPIC and x2APIC modes. The
serialization methods recommended by the SDM differ.
xAPIC:
"1. Memory-mapped write to LVT Timer Register, setting bits 18:17 to 10b.
2. WRMSR to the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR a value much larger than current time-stamp counter.
3. If RDMSR of the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR returns zero, go to step 2.
4. WRMSR to the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR the desired deadline."
x2APIC:
"To allow for efficient access to the APIC registers in x2APIC mode,
the serializing semantics of WRMSR are relaxed when writing to the
APIC registers. Thus, system software should not use 'WRMSR to APIC
registers in x2APIC mode' as a serializing instruction. Read and write
accesses to the APIC registers will occur in program order. A WRMSR to
an APIC register may complete before all preceding stores are globally
visible; software can prevent this by inserting a serializing
instruction, an SFENCE, or an MFENCE before the WRMSR."
The xAPIC method is to just wait for the memory mapped write to hit
the LVTT by checking whether the MSR write has reached the hardware.
There is no reason why a proper MFENCE after the memory mapped write would
not do the same. Andi Kleen confirmed that MFENCE is sufficient for the
xAPIC case as well.
Issue MFENCE before writing to the TSC_DEADLINE MSR. This can be done
unconditionally as all CPUs which have TSC_DEADLINE also have MFENCE
support.

The recent ioapic cleanups changed the affinity setting in
setup_ioapic_dest() from a direct write to the hardware to the delayed
affinity setup via irq_set_affinity().
That results in a warning from chained_irq_exit():
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5 at kernel/irq/migration.c:32 irq_move_masked_irq
[<ffffffff810a0a88>] irq_move_masked_irq+0xb8/0xc0
[<ffffffff8103c161>] ioapic_ack_level+0x111/0x130
[<ffffffff812bbfe8>] intel_gpio_irq_handler+0x148/0x1c0
The reason is that irq_set_affinity() does not write directly to the
hardware. It marks the affinity setting as pending and executes it
from the next interrupt. The chained handler infrastructure does not
take the irq descriptor lock for performance reasons because such a
chained interrupt is not visible to any interfaces. So the delayed
affinity setting triggers the warning in irq_move_masked_irq().
Restore the old behaviour by calling the set_affinity function of the
ioapic chip in setup_ioapic_dest(). This is safe as none of the
interrupts can be on the fly at this point.

While the following commit:
37868fe113 ("x86/ldt: Make modify_ldt synchronous")
added a nice comment explaining that Xen needs page-aligned
whole page chunks for guest descriptor tables, it then
nevertheless used kzalloc() on the small size path.
As I'm unaware of guarantees for kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE, ) to return
page-aligned memory blocks, I believe this needs to be switched
back to __get_free_page() (or better get_zeroed_page()).

The CONFIG_VM86 Kconfig help text is actively misleading, so fix it:
- Don't mark it 'obsolete' in the text as we'll support the ABI as long as CPUs
support it.
- Qualify the part about software emulation and mention that for some apps you
want a real vm86 mode.
- Don't scare users away from the option, instead explain what it does.

Here is an implementation of a new system call, sys_membarrier(), which
executes a memory barrier on all threads running on the system. It is
implemented by calling synchronize_sched(). It can be used to
distribute the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by
transforming pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of
sys_membarrier() and a compiler barrier. For synchronization primitives
that distinguish between read-side and write-side (e.g. userspace RCU
[1], rwlocks), the read-side can be accelerated significantly by moving
the bulk of the memory barrier overhead to the write-side.
The existing applications of which I am aware that would be improved by
this system call are as follows:
* Through Userspace RCU library (http://urcu.so)
- DNS server (Knot DNS) https://www.knot-dns.cz/
- Network sniffer (http://netsniff-ng.org/)
- Distributed object storage (https://sheepdog.github.io/sheepdog/)

Those projects use RCU in userspace to increase read-side speed and
scalability compared to locking. Especially in the case of RCU used by
libraries, sys_membarrier can speed up the read-side by moving the bulk of
the memory barrier cost to synchronize_rcu().
* Direct users of sys_membarrier
- core dotnet garbage collector (https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/198)
Microsoft core dotnet GC developers are planning to use the mprotect()
side-effect of issuing memory barriers through IPIs as a way to implement
Windows FlushProcessWriteBuffers() on Linux. They are referring to
sys_membarrier in their github thread, specifically stating that
sys_membarrier() is what they are looking for.
To explain the benefit of this scheme, let's introduce two example threads:
Thread A (non-frequent, e.g. executing liburcu synchronize_rcu())
Thread B (frequent, e.g. executing liburcu
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock())
In a scheme where all smp_mb() in thread A are ordering memory accesses
with respect to smp_mb() present in Thread B, we can change each
smp_mb() within Thread A into calls to sys_membarrier() and each
smp_mb() within Thread B into compiler barriers "barrier()".
Before the change, we had, for each smp_mb() pairs:
Thread A Thread B
previous mem accesses previous mem accesses
smp_mb() smp_mb()
following mem accesses following mem accesses
After the change, these pairs become:
Thread A Thread B
prev mem accesses prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier() barrier()
follow mem accesses follow mem accesses
As we can see, there are two possible scenarios: either Thread B memory
accesses do not happen concurrently with Thread A accesses (1), or they
do (2).
1) Non-concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses:
Thread A Thread B
prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier()
follow mem accesses
prev mem accesses
barrier()
follow mem accesses
In this case, thread B accesses will be weakly ordered. This is OK,
because at that point, thread A is not particularly interested in
ordering them with respect to its own accesses.
2) Concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses
Thread A Thread B
prev mem accesses prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier() barrier()
follow mem accesses follow mem accesses
In this case, thread B accesses, which are ensured to be in program
order thanks to the compiler barrier, will be "upgraded" to full
smp_mb() by synchronize_sched().
* Benchmarks
On Intel Xeon E5405 (8 cores)
(one thread is calling sys_membarrier, the other 7 threads are busy
looping)
1000 non-expedited sys_membarrier calls in 33s =3D 33 milliseconds/call.
* User-space user of this system call: Userspace RCU library
Both the signal-based and the sys_membarrier userspace RCU schemes
permit us to remove the memory barrier from the userspace RCU
rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() primitives, thus significantly
accelerating them. These memory barriers are replaced by compiler
barriers on the read-side, and all matching memory barriers on the
write-side are turned into an invocation of a memory barrier on all
active threads in the process. By letting the kernel perform this
synchronization rather than dumbly sending a signal to every process
threads (as we currently do), we diminish the number of unnecessary wake
ups and only issue the memory barriers on active threads. Non-running
threads do not need to execute such barrier anyway, because these are
implied by the scheduler context switches.
Results in liburcu:
Operations in 10s, 6 readers, 2 writers:
memory barriers in reader: 1701557485 reads, 2202847 writes
signal-based scheme: 9830061167 reads, 6700 writes
sys_membarrier: 9952759104 reads, 425 writes
sys_membarrier (dyn. check): 7970328887 reads, 425 writes
The dynamic sys_membarrier availability check adds some overhead to
the read-side compared to the signal-based scheme, but besides that,
sys_membarrier slightly outperforms the signal-based scheme. However,
this non-expedited sys_membarrier implementation has a much slower grace
period than signal and memory barrier schemes.
Besides diminishing the number of wake-ups, one major advantage of the
membarrier system call over the signal-based scheme is that it does not
need to reserve a signal. This plays much more nicely with libraries,
and with processes injected into for tracing purposes, for which we
cannot expect that signals will be unused by the application.
An expedited version of this system call can be added later on to speed
up the grace period. Its implementation will likely depend on reading
the cpu_curr()->mm without holding each CPU's rq lock.
This patch adds the system call to x86 and to asm-generic.

MEMBARRIER(2) Linux Programmer's Manual MEMBARRIER(2)
NAME
membarrier - issue memory barriers on a set of threads
SYNOPSIS
#include <linux/membarrier.h>
int membarrier(int cmd, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The cmd argument is one of the following:
MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY
Query the set of supported commands. It returns a bitmask of
supported commands.
MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED
Execute a memory barrier on all threads running on the system.
Upon return from system call, the caller thread is ensured that
all running threads have passed through a state where all memory
accesses to user-space addresses match program order between
entry to and return from the system call (non-running threads
are de facto in such a state). This covers threads from all pro=E2=80=90
cesses running on the system. This command returns 0.
The flags argument needs to be 0. For future extensions.
All memory accesses performed in program order from each targeted
thread is guaranteed to be ordered with respect to sys_membarrier(). If
we use the semantic "barrier()" to represent a compiler barrier forcing
memory accesses to be performed in program order across the barrier,
and smp_mb() to represent explicit memory barriers forcing full memory
ordering across the barrier, we have the following ordering table for
each pair of barrier(), sys_membarrier() and smp_mb():
The pair ordering is detailed as (O: ordered, X: not ordered):
barrier() smp_mb() sys_membarrier()
barrier() X X O
smp_mb() X O O
sys_membarrier() O O O
RETURN VALUE
On success, these system calls return zero. On error, -1 is returned,
and errno is set appropriately. For a given command, with flags
argument set to 0, this system call is guaranteed to always return the
same value until reboot.
ERRORS
ENOSYS System call is not implemented.
EINVAL Invalid arguments.
