Remove the superfluous "is" in the middle of the name. We want to
standardize the naming so that it can be expanded through suffixes:

	context_tracking_enabled()
	context_tracking_enabled_cpu()
	context_tracking_enabled_this_cpu()

The one paravirt read_cr2() implementation (Xen) is actually quite trivial
and doesn't need to clobber anything other than the return register.

Making read_cr2() CALLEE_SAVE avoids all the PUSH/POP nonsense and allows
more convenient use from assembly.

<title>x86/speculation: Prepare entry code for Spectre v1 swapgs mitigations</title>

<id>urn:sha1:18ec54fdd6d18d92025af097cd042a75cf0ea24c</id>
<content type='text'>
Spectre v1 isn't only about array bounds checks.  It can affect any
conditional checks.  The kernel entry code interrupt, exception, and NMI
handlers all have conditional swapgs checks.  Those may be problematic in
the context of Spectre v1, as kernel code can speculatively run with a user
GS.

For example:

	if (coming from user space)
		swapgs
	mov %gs:&lt;percpu_offset&gt;, %reg
	mov (%reg), %reg1

When coming from user space, the CPU can speculatively skip the swapgs, and
then do a speculative percpu load using the user GS value.  So the user can
speculatively force a read of any kernel value.  If a gadget exists which
uses the percpu value as an address in another load/store, then the
contents of the kernel value may become visible via an L1 side channel
attack.

A similar attack exists when coming from kernel space.  The CPU can
speculatively do the swapgs, causing the user GS to get used for the rest
of the speculative window.

The mitigation is similar to a traditional Spectre v1 mitigation, except:

  a) index masking isn't possible; because the index (percpu offset)
     isn't user-controlled; and

  b) an lfence is needed in both the "from user" swapgs path and the
     "from kernel" non-swapgs path (because of the two attacks described
     above).

The user entry swapgs paths already have SWITCH_TO_KERNEL_CR3, which has a
CR3 write when PTI is enabled.  Since CR3 writes are serializing, the
lfences can be skipped in those cases.

On the other hand, the kernel entry swapgs paths don't depend on PTI.

To avoid unnecessary lfences for the user entry case, create two separate
features for alternative patching:

  X86_FEATURE_FENCE_SWAPGS_USER
  X86_FEATURE_FENCE_SWAPGS_KERNEL

Use these features in entry code to patch in lfences where needed.

The features aren't enabled yet, so there's no functional change.

In preparation for wider use, move the ENCODE_FRAME_POINTER macros to
a common header and provide inline asm versions.

These macros are used to encode a pt_regs frame for the unwinder; see
unwind_frame.c:decode_frame_pointer().

<title>jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig</title>

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".

The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:

  #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) &amp;&amp; defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
  # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
  #endif

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

This reverts commit 5bdcd510c2ac9efaf55c4cbd8d46421d8e2320cd.

The macro based workarounds for GCC's inlining bugs caused regressions: distcc
and other distro build setups broke, and the fixes are not easy nor will they
solve regressions on already existing installations.

So we are reverting this patch and the 8 followup patches.

What makes this revert easier is that GCC9 will likely include the new 'asm inline'
syntax that makes inlining of assembly blocks a lot more robust.

This is a superior method to any macro based hackeries - and might even be
backported to GCC8, which would make all modern distros get the inlining
fixes as well.

Many thanks to Masahiro Yamada and others for helping sort out these problems.

Pull stackleak gcc plugin from Kees Cook:
 "Please pull this new GCC plugin, stackleak, for v4.20-rc1. This plugin
  was ported from grsecurity by Alexander Popov. It provides efficient
  stack content poisoning at syscall exit. This creates a defense
  against at least two classes of flaws:

   - Uninitialized stack usage. (We continue to work on improving the
     compiler to do this in other ways: e.g. unconditional zero init was
     proposed to GCC and Clang, and more plugin work has started too).

   - Stack content exposure. By greatly reducing the lifetime of valid
     stack contents, exposures via either direct read bugs or unknown
     cache side-channels become much more difficult to exploit. This
     complements the existing buddy and heap poisoning options, but
     provides the coverage for stacks.

  The x86 hooks are included in this series (which have been reviewed by
  Ingo, Dave Hansen, and Thomas Gleixner). The arm64 hooks have already
  been merged through the arm64 tree (written by Laura Abbott and
  reviewed by Mark Rutland and Will Deacon).

  With VLAs having been removed this release, there is no need for
  alloca() protection, so it has been removed from the plugin"

As described in:

  77b0bf55bc67: ("kbuild/Makefile: Prepare for using macros in inline assembly code to work around asm() related GCC inlining bugs")

GCC's inlining heuristics are broken with common asm() patterns used in
kernel code, resulting in the effective disabling of inlining.

The workaround is to set an assembly macro and call it from the inline
assembly block - which is also a minor cleanup for the jump-label code.

As a result the code size is slightly increased, but inlining decisions
are better:

      text     data     bss      dec     hex  filename
  18163528 10226300 2957312 31347140 1de51c4  ./vmlinux before
  18163608 10227348 2957312 31348268 1de562c  ./vmlinux after (+1128)

And functions such as intel_pstate_adjust_policy_max(),
kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr(), kvm_register_readl() are inlined.

<title>x86/entry: Add STACKLEAK erasing the kernel stack at the end of syscalls</title>

<id>urn:sha1:afaef01c001537fa97a25092d7f54d764dc7d8c1</id>
<content type='text'>
The STACKLEAK feature (initially developed by PaX Team) has the following
benefits:

1. Reduces the information that can be revealed through kernel stack leak
   bugs. The idea of erasing the thread stack at the end of syscalls is
   similar to CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING and memzero_explicit() in kernel
   crypto, which all comply with FDP_RIP.2 (Full Residual Information
   Protection) of the Common Criteria standard.

2. Blocks some uninitialized stack variable attacks (e.g. CVE-2017-17712,
   CVE-2010-2963). That kind of bugs should be killed by improving C
   compilers in future, which might take a long time.

This commit introduces the code filling the used part of the kernel
stack with a poison value before returning to userspace. Full
STACKLEAK feature also contains the gcc plugin which comes in a
separate commit.

The STACKLEAK feature is ported from grsecurity/PaX. More information at:
  https://grsecurity.net/
  https://pax.grsecurity.net/

This code is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last
public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on our understanding of the code.
Changes or omissions from the original code are ours and don't reflect
the original grsecurity/PaX code.

Performance impact:

Hardware: Intel Core i7-4770, 16 GB RAM

Test #1: building the Linux kernel on a single core
        0.91% slowdown

Test #2: hackbench -s 4096 -l 2000 -g 15 -f 25 -P
        4.2% slowdown

So the STACKLEAK description in Kconfig includes: "The tradeoff is the
performance impact: on a single CPU system kernel compilation sees a 1%
slowdown, other systems and workloads may vary and you are advised to
test this feature on your expected workload before deploying it".
