Scheduler updates for this cycle are:
- Clean up SCHED_DEBUG: move the decades old mess of sysctl, procfs and debugfs interfaces to a unified debugfs interface. - Signals: Allow caching one sigqueue object per task, to improve performance & latencies. - Improve newidle_balance() irq-off latencies on systems with a large number of CPU cgroups. - Improve energy-aware scheduling - Improve the PELT metrics for certain workloads - Reintroduce select_idle_smt() to improve load-balancing locality - but without the previous regressions - Add 'scheduler latency debugging': warn after long periods of pending need_resched. This is an opt-in feature that requires the enabling of the LATENCY_WARN scheduler feature, or the use of the resched_latency_warn_ms=xx boot parameter. - CPU hotplug fixes for HP-rollback, and for the 'fail' interface. Fix remaining balance_push() vs. hotplug holes/races - PSI fixes, plus allow /proc/pressure/ files to be written by CAP_SYS_RESOURCE tasks as well - Fix/improve various load-balancing corner cases vs. capacity margins - Fix sched topology on systems with NUMA diameter of 3 or above - Fix PF_KTHREAD vs to_kthread() race - Minor rseq optimizations - Misc cleanups, optimizations, fixes and smaller updates Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJFBAABCgAvFiEEBpT5eoXrXCwVQwEKEnMQ0APhK1gFAmCJInsRHG1pbmdvQGtl cm5lbC5vcmcACgkQEnMQ0APhK1i5XxAArh0b+fwXlkVGzTUly7HQjhU7lFbChnmF h6ToyNLi6pXoZ14VC/WoRIME+RzK3gmw9cEFaSLVPxbkbekTcyWS78kqmcg1/j2v kO/20QhXobiIxVskYfoMmqSavZ5mKhMWBqtFXkCuYfxwGylas0VVdh3AZLJ7N21G WEoFh99pVULwWnPHxM2ZQ87Ex9BkGKbsBTswxWpprCfXLqD0N2hHlABpwJP78zRf VniWFOcC7lslILCFawb7CqGgAwbgV85nDRS4QCuCKisrkFywvjJrEeu/W+h1NfhF d6ves/osNdEAM1DSALoxwEA42An8l8xh8NyJnl8JZV00LW0DM108O5/7pf5Zcryc RHV3RxA7skgezBh5uThvo60QzNK+kVMatI4qpQEHxLE52CaDl/fBu1Cgb/VUxnIl AEBfyiFbk+skHpuMFKtl30Tx3M+yJKMTzFPd4kYjHYGEDwtAcXcB3dJQW48A79i3 H3IWcDcXpk5Rjo2UZmaXdt/qlj7mP6U0xdOUq8ZK6JOC4uY9skszVGsfuNN9QQ5u 2E2YKKVrGFoQydl4C8R6A7axL2VzIJszHFZNipd8E3YOyW7PWRAkr02tOOkBTj8N dLMcNM7aPJWqEYiEIjEzGQN20pweJ1dRA29LDuOswKh+7W2bWTQFh6F2Q8Haansc RVg5PDzl+Mc= =E7mz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'sched-core-2021-04-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: - Clean up SCHED_DEBUG: move the decades old mess of sysctl, procfs and debugfs interfaces to a unified debugfs interface. - Signals: Allow caching one sigqueue object per task, to improve performance & latencies. - Improve newidle_balance() irq-off latencies on systems with a large number of CPU cgroups. - Improve energy-aware scheduling - Improve the PELT metrics for certain workloads - Reintroduce select_idle_smt() to improve load-balancing locality - but without the previous regressions - Add 'scheduler latency debugging': warn after long periods of pending need_resched.

arm64 updates for 5.13:
- MTE asynchronous support for KASan. Previously only synchronous (slower) mode was supported.

Entry code update:
Provide support for randomized stack offsets per syscall to make stack-based attacks harder which rely on the deterministic stack layout. The feature is based on the original idea of PaX's RANDSTACK feature, but uses a significantly different implementation. The offset does not affect the pt_regs location on the task stack as this was agreed on to be of dubious value. The offset is applied before the actual syscall is invoked. The offset is stored per cpu and the randomization happens at the end of the syscall which is less predictable than on syscall entry. The mechanism to apply the offset is via alloca(), i.e. abusing the dispised VLAs. This comes with the drawback that stack-clash-protection has to be disabled for the affected compilation units and there is also a negative interaction with stack-protector. Those downsides are traded with the advantage that this approach does not require any intrusive changes to the low level assembly entry code, does not affect the unwinder and the correct stack alignment is handled automatically by the compiler. The feature is guarded with a static branch which avoids the overhead when disabled. Currently this is supported for X86 and ARM64. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAmCGjz8THHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYoWsvD/4tGnPAurd6lbzxWzRjW7jOOVyzkODM UXtIxxICaj7o6MNcloaGe1QtJ8+QOCw3yPQfLG/SoWHse5+oUKQRL9dmWVeJyRSt JZ1pirkKqWrB+OmPbJKUiO3/TsZ2Z/vO41JVgVTL5/HWhOECSDzZsJkuvF/H+qYD ReDzd7FUNd76pwVOsXq/cxXclRa81/wMNZRVwmyAwFYE2XoPtQyTERTLrfj6aQKF P0txr9fEjYlPPwYOk1kjBAoJfDltNm48BBL7CGZtRlsqpNpdsJ1MkeGffhodb6F0 pJYQMlQJHXABZb5GF+v93+iASDpRFn0EvPmLkCxQUfZYLOkRsnuEF2S/fsYX/WPo uin/wQKwLVdeQq9d9BwlZUKEgsQuV7Q0GVN+JnEQerwD6cWTxv4a1RIUH+K/4Wo5 nTeJVRKcs6m7UkGQRm8JbqnUP0vCV+PSiWWB8J9CmjYeCPbkGjt6mBIsmPaDZ9VL 4i+UX5DJayoREF/rspOBcJftUmExize49p9860UI9N6fd7DsDt7Dq9Ai+ADtZa4C 9BPbF4NWzJq8IWLqBi+PpKBAT3JMX9qQi7s9sbrRxpxtew9Keu5qggKZJYumX71V qgUMk+xB86HZOrtF6F3oY0zxYv3haPvDydsDgqojtqNGk4PdAdgDYJQwMlb8QSly SwIWPHIfvP4R9w== =GMlJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'x86-entry-2021-04-26' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull entry code update from Thomas Gleixner: "Provide support for randomized stack offsets per syscall to make stack-based attacks harder which rely on the deterministic stack layout.

KEYS: trusted: Add generic trusted keys framework
Current trusted keys framework is tightly coupled to use TPM device as an underlying implementation which makes it difficult for implementations like Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) etc. to provide trusted keys support in case platform doesn't posses a TPM device. Add a generic trusted keys framework where underlying implementations can be easily plugged in. Create struct trusted_key_ops to achieve this, which contains necessary functions of a backend. Also, define a module parameter in order to select a particular trust source in case a platform support multiple trust sources. In case its not specified then implementation itetrates through trust sources list starting with TPM and assign the first trust source as a backend which has initiazed successfully during iteration. Note that current implementation only supports a single trust source at runtime which is either selectable at compile time or during boot via aforementioned module parameter.

CONFIG_ARM64_VHE was introduced with ARMv8.1 (some 7 years ago), and has been enabled by default for almost all that time. Given that newer systems that are VHE capable are finally becoming available, and that some systems are even incapable of not running VHE, drop the configuration altogether. Anyone willing to stick to non-VHE on VHE hardware for obscure reasons should use the 'kvm-arm.mode=nvhe' command-line option.

stack: Optionally randomize kernel stack offset each syscall
This provides the ability for architectures to enable kernel stack base address offset randomization. This feature is controlled by the boot param "randomize_kstack_offset=on/off", with its default value set by CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET_DEFAULT. This feature is based on the original idea from the last public release of PaX's RANDKSTACK feature: https://pax.grsecurity.net/docs/randkstack.txt All the credit for the original idea goes to the PaX team. Note that the design and implementation of this upstream randomize_kstack_offset feature differs greatly from the RANDKSTACK feature (see below). Reasoning for the feature: This feature aims to make harder the various stack-based attacks that rely on deterministic stack structure. We have had many such attacks in past (just to name few): https://jon.oberheide.org/files/infiltrate12-thestackisback.pdf https://jon.oberheide.org/files/stackjacking-infiltrate11.pdf https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2016/06/exploiting-recursion-in-linux-kernel_20.html As Linux kernel stack protections have been constantly improving (vmap-based stack allocation with guard pages, removal of thread_info, STACKLEAK), attackers have had to find new ways for their exploits to work. They have done so, continuing to rely on the kernel's stack determinism, in situations where VMAP_STACK and THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT were not relevant. For example, the following recent attacks would have been hampered if the stack offset was non-deterministic between syscalls: https://repositorio-aberto.up.pt/bitstream/10216/125357/2/374717.pdf (page 70: targeting the pt_regs copy with linear stack overflow) https://a13xp0p0v.github.io/2020/02/15/CVE-2019-18683.html (leaked stack address from one syscall as a target during next syscall) The main idea is that since the stack offset is randomized on each system call, it is harder for an attack to reliably land in any particular place on the thread stack, even with address exposures, as the stack base will change on the next syscall. Also, since randomization is performed after placing pt_regs, the ptrace-based approach[1] to discover the randomized offset during a long-running syscall should not be possible. Design description: During most of the kernel's execution, it runs on the "thread stack", which is pretty deterministic in its structure: it is fixed in size, and on every entry from userspace to kernel on a syscall the thread stack starts construction from an address fetched from the per-cpu cpu_current_top_of_stack variable. The first element to be pushed to the thread stack is the pt_regs struct that stores all required CPU registers and syscall parameters. Finally the specific syscall function is called, with the stack being used as the kernel executes the resulting request. The goal of randomize_kstack_offset feature is to add a random offset after the pt_regs has been pushed to the stack and before the rest of the thread stack is used during the syscall processing, and to change it every time a process issues a syscall. The source of randomness is currently architecture-defined (but x86 is using the low byte of rdtsc()). Future improvements for different entropy sources is possible, but out of scope for this patch. Further more, to add more unpredictability, new offsets are chosen at the end of syscalls (the timing of which should be less easy to measure from userspace than at syscall entry time), and stored in a per-CPU variable, so that the life of the value does not stay explicitly tied to a single task. As suggested by Andy Lutomirski, the offset is added using alloca() and an empty asm() statement with an output constraint, since it avoids changes to assembly syscall entry code, to the unwinder, and provides correct stack alignment as defined by the compiler. In order to make this available by default with zero performance impact for those that don't want it, it is boot-time selectable with static branches. This way, if the overhead is not wanted, it can just be left turned off with no performance impact. The generated assembly for x86_64 with GCC looks like this: ... ffffffff81003977: 65 8b 05 02 ea 00 7f mov %gs:0x7f00ea02(%rip),%eax # 12380 <kstack_offset> ffffffff8100397e: 25 ff 03 00 00 and $0x3ff,%eax ffffffff81003983: 48 83 c0 0f add $0xf,%rax ffffffff81003987: 25 f8 07 00 00 and $0x7f8,%eax ffffffff8100398c: 48 29 c4 sub %rax,%rsp ffffffff8100398f: 48 8d 44 24 0f lea 0xf(%rsp),%rax ffffffff81003994: 48 83 e0 f0 and $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rax ... As a result of the above stack alignment, this patch introduces about 5 bits of randomness after pt_regs is spilled to the thread stack on x86_64, and 6 bits on x86_32 (since its has 1 fewer bit required for stack alignment). The amount of entropy could be adjusted based on how much of the stack space we wish to trade for security. My measure of syscall performance overhead (on x86_64): lmbench: /usr/lib/lmbench/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu/lat_syscall -N 10000 null randomize_kstack_offset=y Simple syscall: 0.7082 microseconds randomize_kstack_offset=n Simple syscall: 0.7016 microseconds So, roughly 0.9% overhead growth for a no-op syscall, which is very manageable. And for people that don't want this, it's off by default. There are two gotchas with using the alloca() trick. First, compilers that have Stack Clash protection (-fstack-clash-protection) enabled by default (e.g. Ubuntu[3]) add pagesize stack probes to any dynamic stack allocations. While the randomization offset is always less than a page, the resulting assembly would still contain (unreachable!) probing routines, bloating the resulting assembly. To avoid this, -fno-stack-clash-protection is unconditionally added to the kernel Makefile since this is the only dynamic stack allocation in the kernel (now that VLAs have been removed) and it is provably safe from Stack Clash style attacks. The second gotcha with alloca() is a negative interaction with -fstack-protector*, in that it sees the alloca() as an array allocation, which triggers the unconditional addition of the stack canary function pre/post-amble which slows down syscalls regardless of the static branch. In order to avoid adding this unneeded check and its associated performance impact, architectures need to carefully remove uses of -fstack-protector-strong (or -fstack-protector) in the compilation units that use the add_random_kstack() macro and to audit the resulting stack mitigation coverage (to make sure no desired coverage disappears). No change is visible for this on x86 because the stack protector is already unconditionally disabled for the compilation unit, but the change is required on arm64. There is, unfortunately, no attribute that can be used to disable stack protector for specific functions. Comparison to PaX RANDKSTACK feature: The RANDKSTACK feature randomizes the location of the stack start (cpu_current_top_of_stack), i.e. including the location of pt_regs structure itself on the stack. Initially this patch followed the same approach, but during the recent discussions[2], it has been determined to be of a little value since, if ptrace functionality is available for an attacker, they can use PTRACE_PEEKUSR/PTRACE_POKEUSR to read/write different offsets in the pt_regs struct, observe the cache behavior of the pt_regs accesses, and figure out the random stack offset. Another difference is that the random offset is stored in a per-cpu variable, rather than having it be per-thread. As a result, these implementations differ a fair bit in their implementation details and results, though obviously the intent is similar.

iommu/dma: Resurrect the "forcedac" option
In converting intel-iommu over to the common IOMMU DMA ops, it quietly
lost the functionality of its "forcedac" option. Since this is a handy
thing both for testing and for performance optimisation on certain
platforms, reimplement it under the common IOMMU parameter namespace.
For the sake of fixing the inadvertent breakage of the Intel-specific
parameter, remove the dmar_forcedac remnants and hook it up as an alias
while documenting the transition to the new common parameter.

rcuscale: Add kfree_rcu() single-argument scale test
The single-argument variant of kfree_rcu() is currently not tested by any member of the rcutoture test suite. This commit therefore adds rcuscale code to test it. This testing is controlled by two new boolean module parameters, kfree_rcu_test_single and kfree_rcu_test_double. If one is set and the other not, only the corresponding variant is tested, otherwise both are tested, with the variant to be tested determined randomly on each invocation. Both of these module parameters are initialized to false, so setting either to true will test only that variant. Suggested-by: Paul E.

rcu: deprecate "all" option to rcu_nocbs=
With the core bitmap support now accepting "N" as a placeholder for the end of the bitmap, "all" can be represented as "0-N" and has the advantage of not being specific to RCU (or any other subsystem). So deprecate the use of "all" by removing documentation references to it. The support itself needs to remain for now, since we don't know how many people out there are using it currently, but since it is in an __init area anyway, it isn't worth losing sleep over.

locking/csd_lock: Add more data to CSD lock debugging
In order to help identifying problems with IPI handling and remote function execution add some more data to IPI debugging code. There have been multiple reports of CPUs looping long times (many seconds) in smp_call_function_many() waiting for another CPU executing a function like tlb flushing. Most of these reports have been for cases where the kernel was running as a guest on top of KVM or Xen (there are rumours of that happening under VMWare, too, and even on bare metal). Finding the root cause hasn't been successful yet, even after more than 2 years of chasing this bug by different developers. Commit: |

locking/csd_lock: Add boot parameter for controlling CSD lock debugging
Currently CSD lock debugging can be switched on and off via a kernel config option only. Unfortunately there is at least one problem with CSD lock handling pending for about 2 years now, which has been seen in different environments (mostly when running virtualized under KVM or Xen, at least once on bare metal). Multiple attempts to catch this issue have finally led to introduction of CSD lock debug code, but this code is not in use in most distros as it has some impact on performance. In order to be able to ship kernels with CONFIG_CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG enabled even for production use, add a boot parameter for switching the debug functionality on. This will reduce any performance impact of the debug coding to a bare minimum when not being used.

lib: stackdepot: add support to disable stack depot
Add a kernel parameter stack_depot_disable to disable stack depot. So that stack hash table doesn't consume any memory when stack depot is disabled. The use case is CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER without page_owner=on. Without this patch, stackdepot will consume the memory for the hashtable. By default, it's 8M which is never trivial. With this option, in CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER configured system, page_owner=off, stack_depot_disable in kernel command line, we could save the wasted memory for the hashtable.

Driver core / debugfs update for 5.12-rc1
Here is the "big" driver core and debugfs update for 5.12-rc1 This set of driver core patches caused a bunch of problems in linux-next for the past few weeks, when Saravana tried to set fw_devlink=on as the default functionality. This caused a number of systems to stop booting, and lots of bugs were fixed in this area for almost all of the reported systems, but this option is not ready to be turned on just yet for the default operation based on this testing, so I've reverted that change at the very end so we don't have to worry about regressions in 5.12. We will try to turn this on for 5.13 if testing goes better over the next few months. Other than the fixes caused by the fw_devlink testing in here, there's not much more: - debugfs fixes for invalid input into debugfs_lookup() - kerneldoc cleanups - warn message if platform drivers return an error on their remove callback (a futile effort, but good to catch).

It has been a relatively quiet cycle in docsland.
- As promised, the minimum Sphinx version to build the docs is now 1.7, and we have dropped support for Python 2 entirely. That allowed the removal of a bunch of compatibility code. - A set of treewide warning fixups from Mauro that I applied after it became clear nobody else was going to deal with them. - The automarkup mechanism can now create cross-references from relative paths to RST files. - More translations, typo fixes, and warning fixes. No conflicts with any other tree as far as I know. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFDBAABCAAtFiEEIw+MvkEiF49krdp9F0NaE2wMflgFAmAq4EUPHGNvcmJldEBs d24ubmV0AAoJEBdDWhNsDH5YTIAH/1I5MlVQwuvNKjwCAEdmltQgHv6SmXSpDkrp SGuviWVXxqz8dTyo7C2R12qE/7nP8zGAmclNdX78ynl5qWaj05lQsjBgMYSoQO/F +akyLQSL8/8SQrtDPPBcboPuIz9DzkX51kkQthvCf0puJi0ScKVHO9Sk9SKUgDoK cnCE9VwpGL7YX/ee2wt91UYREijgJ9P7eQ6rqKvUZ5Itu9ikfu9vQU41GR9tOXDK MQK+k38pWdl8wRgTgA0pkVhMf1G732bxTTicvFHXcyqmCkh7++m2+ysT8O+SBBMX e5BbP0yysSqThjwFHOW5PWM1AWD5iVz+pnwJwEaJ4K76tJJOw9M= =bcDk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'docs-5.12' of git://git.lwn.net/linux Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "It has been a relatively quiet cycle in docsland. - As promised, the minimum Sphinx version to build the docs is now 1.7, and we have dropped support for Python 2 entirely.

The performance event updates for v5.12 are:
- Add CPU-PMU support for Intel Sapphire Rapids CPUs - Extend the perf ABI with PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, to offer two-parameter sampling event feedback. Not used yet, but is intended for Golden Cove CPU-PMU, which can provide both the instruction latency and the cache latency information for memory profiling events. - Remove experimental, default-disabled perfmon-v4 counter_freezing support that could only be enabled via a boot option. The hardware is hopelessly broken, we'd like to make sure nobody starts relying on this, as it would only end in tears. - Fix energy/power events on Intel SPR platforms - Simplify the uprobes resume_execution() logic - Misc smaller fixes.

Scheduler updates for v5.12:
[ NOTE: unfortunately this tree had to be freshly rebased today, it's a same-content tree of 82891be90f3c (-next published) merged with v5.11. The main reason for the rebase was an authorship misattribution problem with a new commit, which we noticed in the last minute, and which we didn't want to be merged upstream. The offending commit was deep in the tree, and dependent commits had to be rebased as well. ] - Core scheduler updates: - Add CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC: this in its current form adds the preempt=none/voluntary/full boot options (default: full), to allow distros to build a PREEMPT kernel but fall back to close to PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY (or PREEMPT_NONE) runtime scheduling behavior via a boot time selection. There's also the /debug/sched_debug switch to do this runtime. This feature is implemented via runtime patching (a new variant of static calls). The scope of the runtime patching can be best reviewed by looking at the sched_dynamic_update() function in kernel/sched/core.c. ( Note that the dynamic none/voluntary mode isn't 100% identical, for example preempt-RCU is available in all cases, plus the preempt count is maintained in all models, which has runtime overhead even with the code patching. ) The PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY/PREEMPT_NONE models, used by the vast majority of distributions, are supposed to be unaffected. - Fix ignored rescheduling after rcu_eqs_enter(). This is a bug that was found via rcutorture triggering a hang. The bug is that rcu_idle_enter() may wake up a NOCB kthread, but this happens after the last generic need_resched() check. Some cpuidle drivers fix it by chance but many others don't. In true 2020 fashion the original bug fix has grown into a 5-patch scheduler/RCU fix series plus another 16 RCU patches to address the underlying issue of missed preemption events. These are the initial fixes that should fix current incarnations of the bug. - Clean up rbtree usage in the scheduler, by providing & using the following consistent set of rbtree APIs: partial-order; less() based: - rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree - rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached total-order; cmp() based: - rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree - rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found - rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry - rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first() - rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two - Improve the SMP/NUMA load-balancer: scan for an idle sibling in a single pass. This is a 4-commit series where each commit improves one aspect of the idle sibling scan logic. - Improve the cpufreq cooling driver by getting the effective CPU utilization metrics from the scheduler - Improve the fair scheduler's active load-balancing logic by reducing the number of active LB attempts & lengthen the load-balancing interval. This improves stress-ng mmapfork performance. - Fix CFS's estimated utilization (util_est) calculation bug that can result in too high utilization values - Misc updates & fixes: - Fix the HRTICK reprogramming & optimization feature - Fix SCHED_SOFTIRQ raising race & warning in the CPU offlining code - Reduce dl_add_task_root_domain() overhead - Fix uprobes refcount bug - Process pending softirqs in flush_smp_call_function_from_idle() - Clean up task priority related defines, remove *USER_*PRIO and USER_PRIO() - Simplify the sched_init_numa() deduplication sort - Documentation updates - Fix EAS bug in update_misfit_status(), which degraded the quality of energy-balancing - Smaller cleanups Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJFBAABCgAvFiEEBpT5eoXrXCwVQwEKEnMQ0APhK1gFAmAtHBsRHG1pbmdvQGtl cm5lbC5vcmcACgkQEnMQ0APhK1itgg/+NGed12pgPjYBzesdou60Lvx7LZLGjfOt M1F1EnmQGn/hEH2fCY6ZoqIZQTVltm7GIcBNabzYTzlaHZsdtyuDUJBZyj19vTlk zekcj7WVt+qvfjChaNwEJhQ9nnOM/eohMgEOHMAAJd9zlnQvve7NOLQ56UDM+kn/ 9taFJ5ZPvb4avP6C5p3KivvKex6Bjof/Tl0m3utpNyPpI/qK3FyGxwdgCxU0yepT ABWQX5ZQCufFvo1bgnBPfqyzab4MqhoM3bNKBsLQfuAlssG1xRv4KQOev4dRwrt9 pXJikV5C9yez5d2lGe5p0ltH5IZS/l9x2yI/ZQj3OUDTFyV1ic6WfFAqJgDzVF8E i/vvA4NPQiI241Bkps+ErcCw4aVOgiY6TWli74cHjLUIX0+As6aHrFWXGSxUmiHB WR+B8KmdfzRTTlhOxMA+cvlpZcKCfxWkJJmXzr/lDZzIuKPqM3QCE2wD9sixkfVo JNICT0IvZghWOdbMEfZba8Psh/e2LVI9RzdpEiuYJz1ZrVlt1hO0M6jBxY0hMz9n k54z81xODw0a8P2FHMtpmB1vhAeqCmvwA6DO8z0Oxs0DFi+KM2bLf2efHsCKafI+ Bm5v9YFaOk/55R76hJVh+aYLlyFgFkKd+P/niJTPDnxOk3SqJuXvTrql1HeGHkNr kYgQa23dsZk= =pyaG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'sched-core-2021-02-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: "Core scheduler updates: - Add CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC: this in its current form adds the preempt=none/voluntary/full boot options (default: full), to allow distros to build a PREEMPT kernel but fall back to close to PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY (or PREEMPT_NONE) runtime scheduling behavior via a boot time selection.

Introduce a dedicated option to tune preemption flavour at boot time, This will be only available on architectures efficiently supporting static calls in order not to tempt with the feature against additional overhead that might be prohibitive or undesirable. CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC is automatically selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT if the architecture provides the necessary support (CONFIG_STATIC_CALL_INLINE, CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY, and provide with __preempt_schedule_function() / __preempt_schedule_notrace_function()).

lib/vsprintf: no_hash_pointers prints all addresses as unhashed
If the no_hash_pointers command line parameter is set, then printk("%p") will print pointers as unhashed, which is useful for debugging purposes. This change applies to any function that uses vsprintf, such as print_hex_dump() and seq_buf_printf(). A large warning message is displayed if this option is enabled. Unhashed pointers expose kernel addresses, which can be a security risk. Also update test_printf to skip the hashed pointer tests if the command-line option is set.

x86/apb_timer: Remove driver for deprecated platform

32-bit platforms, which were in limited use in some Android phones,
tablets and consumer electronics more than eight years ago.
There are no bugs or problems ever reported outside from Intel
for breaking any of that platforms for years. It seems no real
users exists who run more or less fresh kernel on it. Commit

perf/intel: Remove Perfmon-v4 counter_freezing support
Perfmon-v4 counter freezing is fundamentally broken; remove this default disabled code to make sure nobody uses it. The feature is called Freeze-on-PMI in the SDM, and if it would do that, there wouldn't actually be a problem, *however* it does something subtly different. It globally disables the whole PMU when it raises the PMI, not when the PMI hits. This means there's a window between the PMI getting raised and the PMI actually getting served where we loose events and this violates the perf counter independence. That is, a counting event should not result in a different event count when there is a sampling event co-scheduled. This is known to break existing software (RR).

This commit adds kernel boot parameters torture.verbose_sleep_frequency and torture.verbose_sleep_duration, which allow VERBOSE_TOROUT_*() output to be throttled with periodic sleeps on large systems. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> |

refscale: Allow summarization of verbose output
The refscale test prints enough per-kthread console output to provoke RCU CPU stall warnings on large systems. This commit therefore allows this output to be summarized. For example, the refscale.verbose_batched=32 boot parameter would causes only every 32nd line of output to be logged. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> |

rcutorture: Test runtime toggling of CPUs' callback offloading
Frederic Weisbecker is adding the ability to change the rcu_nocbs state of CPUs at runtime, that is, to offload and deoffload their RCU callback processing without the need to reboot. As the old saying goes, "if it ain't tested, it don't work", so this commit therefore adds prototype rcutorture testing for this capability. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Enable rcu_normal_after_boot unconditionally for RT
Expedited RCU grace periods send IPIs to all non-idle CPUs, and thus can disrupt time-critical code in real-time applications. However, there is a portion of boot-time processing (presumably before any real-time applications have started) where expedited RCU grace periods are the only option. And so it is that experience with the -rt patchset indicates that PREEMPT_RT systems should always set the rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot parameter. This commit therefore makes the post-boot application environment safe for real-time applications by making PREEMPT_RT systems disable the rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot parameter and acting as if this parameter had been set. This means that post-boot calls to synchronize_rcu_expedited() will be treated as if they were instead calls to synchronize_rcu(), thus preventing the IPIs, and thus avoiding disrupting real-time applications.

rcu: Unconditionally use rcuc threads on PREEMPT_RT
PREEMPT_RT systems have long used the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter to avoid use of RCU_SOFTIRQ handlers, which can disrupt real-time applications by invoking callbacks during return from interrupts that arrived while executing time-critical code. This kernel boot parameter instead runs RCU core processing in an 'rcuc' kthread, thus allowing the scheduler to do its job of avoiding disrupting time-critical code. This commit therefore disables the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter on PREEMPT_RT systems, thus forcing such systems to do RCU core processing in 'rcuc' kthreads. This approach has long been in use by users of the -rt patchset, and there have been no complaints. There is therefore no way for the system administrator to override this choice, at least without modifying and rebuilding the kernel.

KVM: arm64: Add kvm-arm.mode early kernel parameter
Add an early parameter that allows users to select the mode of operation for KVM/arm64. For now, the only supported value is "protected". By passing this flag users opt into the hypervisor placing additional restrictions on the host kernel. These allow the hypervisor to spawn guests whose state is kept private from the host. Restrictions will include stage-2 address translation to prevent host from accessing guest memory, filtering its SMC calls, etc. Without this parameter, the default behaviour remains selecting VHE/nVHE based on hardware support and CONFIG_ARM64_VHE.

powerpc/64s: flush L1D after user accesses
IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1 cache before it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction mechanism. It is not possible for an attacker to determine the contents of impermissible memory using this method, since these systems implement a combination of hardware and software security measures to prevent scenarios where protected data could be leaked. However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker induces the operating system to speculatively execute instructions using data that the attacker controls. This can be used for example to speculatively bypass "kernel user access prevention" techniques, as discovered by Anthony Steinhauser of Google's Safeside Project. This is not an attack by itself, but there is a possibility it could be used in conjunction with side-channels or other weaknesses in the privileged code to construct an attack. This issue can be mitigated by flushing the L1 cache between privilege boundaries of concern. This patch flushes the L1 cache after user accesses. This is part of the fix for CVE-2020-4788.

xen/events: defer eoi in case of excessive number of events
In case rogue guests are sending events at high frequency it might happen that xen_evtchn_do_upcall() won't stop processing events in dom0. As this is done in irq handling a crash might be the result. In order to avoid that, delay further inter-domain events after some time in xen_evtchn_do_upcall() by forcing eoi processing into a worker on the same cpu, thus inhibiting new events coming in. The time after which eoi processing is to be delayed is configurable via a new module parameter "event_loop_timeout" which specifies the maximum event loop time in jiffies (default: 2, the value was chosen after some tests showing that a value of 2 was the lowest with an only slight drop of dom0 network throughput while multiple guests performed an event storm). How long eoi processing will be delayed can be specified via another parameter "event_eoi_delay" (again in jiffies, default 10, again the value was chosen after testing with different delay values). This is part of XSA-332.

lib, include/linux: add usercopy failure capability
Patch series "add fault injection to user memory access", v3. The goal of this series is to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages of user memory access functions, by adding support for fault injection. syzkaller/syzbot are using the existing fault injection modes and will use this particular feature also. The first patch adds failure injection capability for usercopy functions. The second changes usercopy functions to use this new failure capability (copy_from_user, ...). The third patch adds get/put/clear_user failures to x86. This patch (of 3): Add a failure injection capability to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages of user memory access functions. Add CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_USERCOPY to enable faults in usercopy functions. The should_fail_usercopy function is to be called by these functions (copy_from_user, get_user, ...) in order to fail or not.

networking changes for the 5.10 merge window
Add redirect_neigh() BPF packet redirect helper, allowing to limit stack traversal in common container configs and improving TCP back-pressure. Daniel reports ~10Gbps => ~15Gbps single stream TCP performance gain. Expand netlink policy support and improve policy export to user space. (Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to declared policies. Expand the expressiveness of those policies (min/max length and bitmasks). Allow dumping policies for particular commands. This is used for feature discovery by user space (instead of kernel version parsing or trial and error). Support IGMPv3/MLDv2 multicast listener discovery protocols in bridge. Allow more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces. Add support for Type of Service (ToS) reflection in SYN/SYN-ACK packets of TCPv6. In Multi-patch TCP (MPTCP) support concurrent transmission of data on multiple subflows in a load balancing scenario. Enhance advertising addresses via the RM_ADDR/ADD_ADDR options. Support SMC-Dv2 version of SMC, which enables multi-subnet deployments. Allow more calls to same peer in RxRPC. Support two new Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols - CAN-FD and ISO 15765-2:2016. Add xfrm/IPsec compat layer, solving the 32bit user space on 64bit kernel problem. Add TC actions for implementing MPLS L2 VPNs. Improve nexthop code - e.g. handle various corner cases when nexthop objects are removed from groups better, skip unnecessary notifications and make it easier to offload nexthops into HW by converting to a blocking notifier. Support adding and consuming TCP header options by BPF programs, opening the doors for easy experimental and deployment-specific TCP option use. Reorganize TCP congestion control (CC) initialization to simplify life of TCP CC implemented in BPF. Add support for shipping BPF programs with the kernel and loading them early on boot via the User Mode Driver mechanism, hence reusing all the user space infra we have. Support sleepable BPF programs, initially targeting LSM and tracing. Add bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct path'. Make bpf_tail_call compatible with bpf-to-bpf calls. Allow BPF programs to call map_update_elem on sockmaps. Add BPF Type Format (BTF) support for type and enum discovery, as well as support for using BTF within the kernel itself (current use is for pretty printing structures). Support listing and getting information about bpf_links via the bpf syscall. Enhance kernel interfaces around NIC firmware update. Allow specifying overwrite mask to control if settings etc. are reset during update; report expected max time operation may take to users; support firmware activation without machine reboot incl. limits of how much impact reset may have (e.g. dropping link or not). Extend ethtool configuration interface to report IEEE-standard counters, to limit the need for per-vendor logic in user space. Adopt or extend devlink use for debug, monitoring, fw update in many drivers (dsa loop, ice, ionic, sja1105, qed, mlxsw, mv88e6xxx, dpaa2-eth). In mlxsw expose critical and emergency SFP module temperature alarms. Refactor port buffer handling to make the defaults more suitable and support setting these values explicitly via the DCBNL interface. Add XDP support for Intel's igb driver. Support offloading TC flower classification and filtering rules to mscc_ocelot switches. Add PTP support for Marvell Octeontx2 and PP2.2 hardware, as well as fixed interval period pulse generator and one-step timestamping in dpaa-eth. Add support for various auth offloads in WiFi APs, e.g. SAE (WPA3) offload. Add Lynx PHY/PCS MDIO module, and convert various drivers which have this HW to use it. Convert mvpp2 to split PCS. Support Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 24-port switch ASICs, as well as 7-port Mediatek MT7531 IP. Add initial support for QCA6390 and IPQ6018 in ath11k WiFi driver, and wcn3680 support in wcn36xx. Improve performance for packets which don't require much offloads on recent Mellanox NICs by 20% by making multiple packets share a descriptor entry. Move chelsio inline crypto drivers (for TLS and IPsec) from the crypto subtree to drivers/net. Move MDIO drivers out of the phy directory. Clean up a lot of W=1 warnings, reportedly the actively developed subsections of networking drivers should now build W=1 warning free. Make sure drivers don't use in_interrupt() to dynamically adapt their code. Convert tasklets to use new tasklet_setup API (sadly this conversion is not yet complete).

dma-contiguous: provide the ability to reserve per-numa CMA
Right now, drivers like ARM SMMU are using dma_alloc_coherent() to get coherent DMA buffers to save their command queues and page tables. As there is only one default CMA in the whole system, SMMUs on nodes other than node0 will get remote memory. This leads to significant latency. This patch provides per-numa CMA so that drivers like SMMU can get local memory. Tests show localizing CMA can decrease dma_unmap latency much. For instance, before this patch, SMMU on node2 has to wait for more than 560ns for the completion of CMD_SYNC in an empty command queue; with this patch, it needs 240ns only. A positive side effect of this patch would be improving performance even further for those users who are worried about performance more than DMA security and use iommu.passthrough=1 to skip IOMMU. With local CMA, all drivers can get local coherent DMA buffers. Also, this patch changes the default CONFIG_CMA_AREAS to 19 in NUMA. As 1+CONFIG_CMA_AREAS should be quite enough for most servers on the market even they enable both hugetlb_cma and pernuma_cma. 2 numa nodes: 2(hugetlb) + 2(pernuma) + 1(default global cma) = 5 4 numa nodes: 4(hugetlb) + 4(pernuma) + 1(default global cma) = 9 8 numa nodes: 8(hugetlb) + 8(pernuma) + 1(default global cma) = 17 Signed-off-by: Barry Song <song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> |

rcutorture: Allow pointer leaks to test diagnostic code
This commit adds an rcutorture.leakpointer module parameter that intentionally leaks an RCU-protected pointer out of the RCU read-side critical section and checks to see if the corresponding grace period has elapsed, emitting a WARN_ON_ONCE() if so. This module parameter can be used to test facilities like CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD that end grace periods quickly. While in the area, also document rcutorture.irqreader, which was previously left out. Reported-by Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> |

rcu: Provide optional RCU-reader exit delay for strict GPs
The goal of this series is to increase the probability of tools like KASAN detecting that an RCU-protected pointer was used outside of its RCU read-side critical section. Thus far, the approach has been to make grace periods and callback processing happen faster. Another approach is to delay the pointer leaker. This commit therefore allows a delay to be applied to exit from RCU read-side critical sections. This slowdown is specified by a new rcutree.rcu_unlock_delay kernel boot parameter that specifies this delay in microseconds, defaulting to zero.

rcuperf: Change rcuperf to rcuscale
This commit further avoids conflation of rcuperf with the kernel's perf feature by renaming kernel/rcu/rcuperf.c to kernel/rcu/rcuscale.c, and also by similarly renaming the functions and variables inside this file. This has the side effect of changing the names of the kernel boot parameters, so kernel-parameters.txt and ver_functions.sh are also updated. The rcutorture --torture type was also updated from rcuperf to rcuscale. [ paulmck: Fix bugs located by Stephen Rothwell. ] Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

lib: Add backtrace_idle parameter to force backtrace of idle CPUs
Currently, the nmi_cpu_backtrace() declines to produce backtraces for idle CPUs. This is a good choice in the common case in which problems are caused only by non-idle CPUs. However, there are occasionally situations in which idle CPUs are helping to cause problems. This commit therefore adds an nmi_backtrace.backtrace_idle kernel boot parameter that causes nmi_cpu_backtrace() to dump stacks even of idle CPUs. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

mm, slub: extend slub_debug syntax for multiple blocks
Patch series "slub_debug fixes and improvements". The slub_debug kernel boot parameter can either apply a single set of options to all caches or a list of caches. There is a use case where debugging is applied for all caches and then disabled at runtime for specific caches, for performance and memory consumption reasons [1]. As runtime changes are dangerous, extend the boot parameter syntax so that multiple blocks of either global or slab-specific options can be specified, with blocks delimited by ';'. This will also support the use case of [1] without runtime changes. For details see the updated Documentation/vm/slub.rst [1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/1383cd32-1ddc-4dac-b5f8-9c42282fa81c@codeaurora.org [weiyongjun1@huawei.com: make parse_slub_debug_flags() static] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200702150522.4940-1-weiyongjun1@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Cc: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Cc: Vijayanand Jitta <vjitta@codeaurora.org> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200610163135.17364-2-vbabka@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

powerpc updates for 5.9
- Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks. - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on Power9 or later. - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice. - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other architectures. - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems. - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs. - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path. - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as usual.

Driver core changes for 5.9-rc1
Here is the "big" set of changes to the driver core, and some drivers using the changes, for 5.9-rc1. "Biggest" thing in here is the device link exposure in sysfs, to help to tame the madness that is SoC device tree representations and driver interactions with it. Other stuff in here that is interesting is: - device probe log helper so that drivers can report problems in a unified way easier. - devres functions added - DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_* macro added to make it harder to write incorrect sysfs file permissions - documentation cleanups - ability for debugfs to be present in the kernel, yet not exposed to userspace. Needed for systems that want it enabled, but do not trust users, so they can still use some kernel functions that were otherwise disabled. - other minor fixes and cleanups The patches outside of drivers/base/ all have acks from the respective subsystem maintainers to go through this tree instead of theirs. All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues.

Support for FSGSBASE. Almost 5 years after the first RFC to support it,
this has been brought into a shape which is maintainable and actually works. This final version was done by Sasha Levin who took it up after Intel dropped the ball. Sasha discovered that the SGX (sic!) offerings out there ship rogue kernel modules enabling FSGSBASE behind the kernels back which opens an instantanious unpriviledged root hole. The FSGSBASE instructions provide a considerable speedup of the context switch path and enable user space to write GSBASE without kernel interaction. This enablement requires careful handling of the exception entries which go through the paranoid entry path as they cannot longer rely on the assumption that user GSBASE is positive (as enforced via prctl() on non FSGSBASE enabled systemn). All other entries (syscalls, interrupts and exceptions) can still just utilize SWAPGS unconditionally when the entry comes from user space. Converting these entries to use FSGSBASE has no benefit as SWAPGS is only marginally slower than WRGSBASE and locating and retrieving the kernel GSBASE value is not a free operation either. The real benefit of RD/WRGSBASE is the avoidance of the MSR reads and writes. The changes come with appropriate selftests and have held up in field testing against the (sanitized) Graphene-SGX driver. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAl8pGnoTHHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYoTYJD/9873GkwvGcc/Vq/dJH1szGTgFftPyZ c/Y9gzx7EGBPLo25BS820L+ZlynzXHDxExKfCEaD10TZfe5XIc1vYNR0J74M2NmK IBgEDstJeW93ai+rHCFRXIevhpzU4GgGYJ1MeeOgbVMN3aGU1g6HfzMvtF0fPn8Y n6fsLZa43wgnoTdjwjjikpDTrzoZbaL1mbODBzBVPAaTbim7IKKTge6r/iCKrOjz Uixvm3g9lVzx52zidJ9kWa8esmbOM1j0EPe7/hy3qH9DFo87KxEzjHNH3T6gY5t6 NJhRAIfY+YyTHpPCUCshj6IkRudE6w/qjEAmKP9kWZxoJrvPCTWOhCzelwsFS9b9 gxEYfsnaKhsfNhB6fi0PtWlMzPINmEA7SuPza33u5WtQUK7s1iNlgHfvMbjstbwg MSETn4SG2/ZyzUrSC06lVwV8kh0RgM3cENc/jpFfIHD0vKGI3qfka/1RY94kcOCG AeJd0YRSU2RqL7lmxhHyG8tdb8eexns41IzbPCLXX2sF00eKNkVvMRYT2mKfKLFF q8v1x7yuwmODdXfFR6NdCkGm9IU7wtL6wuQ8Nhu9UraFmcXo6X6FLJC18FqcvSb9 jvcRP4XY/8pNjjf44JB8yWfah0xGQsaMIKQGP4yLv4j6Xk1xAQKH1MqcC7l1D2HN 5Z24GibFqSK/vA== =QaAN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'x86-fsgsbase-2020-08-04' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 fsgsbase from Thomas Gleixner: "Support for FSGSBASE.

powerpc/book3s64/radix: Add kernel command line option to disable radix GTSE
This adds a kernel command line option that can be used to disable GTSE support. Disabling GTSE implies kernel will make hcalls to invalidate TLB entries. This was done so that we can do VM migration between configs that enable/disable GTSE support via hypervisor. To migrate a VM from a system that supports GTSE to a system that doesn't, we can boot the guest with radix_hcall_invalidate=on, thereby forcing the guest to use hcalls for TLB invalidates. The check for hcall availability is done in pSeries_setup_arch so that the panic message appears on the console. This should only happen on a hypervisor that doesn't force the guest to hash translation even though it can't handle the radix GTSE=0 request via CAS. With radix_hcall_invalidate=on if the hypervisor doesn't support hcall_rpt_invalidate hcall it should force the LPAR to hash translation.

debugfs: Add access restriction option
Since debugfs include sensitive information it need to be treated carefully. But it also has many very useful debug functions for userspace. With this option we can have same configuration for system with need of debugfs and a way to turn it off. This gives a extra protection for exposure on systems where user-space services with system access are attacked. It is controlled by a configurable default value that can be override with a kernel command line parameter. (debugfs=) It can be on or off, but also internally on but not seen from user-space. This no-mount mode do not register a debugfs as filesystem, but client can register their parts in the internal structures. This data can be readed with a debugger or saved with a crashkernel. When it is off clients get EPERM error when accessing the functions for registering their components.

cpufreq: Specify default governor on command line
Currently, the only way to specify the default CPUfreq governor is via Kconfig options, which suits users who can build the kernel themselves perfectly. However, for those who use a distro-like kernel (such as Android, with the Generic Kernel Image project), the only way to use a non-default governor is to boot to userspace, and to then switch using the sysfs interface. Being able to specify the default governor on the command line, like is the case for cpuidle, would allow those users to specify their governor of choice earlier on, and to simplify the userspace boot procedure slighlty. To support this use-case, add a kernel command line parameter allowing the default governor for CPUfreq to be specified, which takes precedence over the built-in default. This implementation has one notable limitation: the default governor must be registered before the driver. This is solved for builtin governors and drivers using appropriate *_initcall() functions. And in the modular case, this must be reflected as a constraint on the module loading order.

rcu/tree: cache specified number of objects
In order to reduce the dynamic need for pages in kfree_rcu(), pre-allocate a configurable number of pages per CPU and link them in a list. When kfree_rcu() reclaims objects, the object's container page is cached into a list instead of being released to the low-level page allocator. Such an approach provides O(1) access to free pages while also reducing the number of requests to the page allocator. It also makes the kfree_rcu() code to have free pages available during a low memory condition. A read-only sysfs parameter (rcu_min_cached_objs) reflects the minimum number of allowed cached pages per CPU. Signed-off-by: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) <urezki@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

New microcode serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is released for reuse. This is equivalent to a full bus lock, which means that many threads running the RNG instructions in parallel have the same effect as the same amount of threads issuing a locked instruction targeting an address which requires locking of two cachelines at once.

kernel/watchdog.c: convert {soft/hard}lockup boot parameters to sysctl aliases
After a recent change introduced by Vlastimil's series [0], kernel is able now to handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line; also, the series introduced a simple infrastructure to convert legacy boot parameters (that duplicate sysctls) into sysctl aliases. This patch converts the watchdog parameters softlockup_panic and {hard,soft}lockup_all_cpu_backtrace to use the new alias infrastructure. It fixes the documentation too, since the alias only accepts values 0 or 1, not the full range of integers. We also took the opportunity here to improve the documentation of the previously converted hung_task_panic (see the patch series [0]) and put the alias table in alphabetical order.

kernel/sysctl: support setting sysctl parameters from kernel command line
Patch series "support setting sysctl parameters from kernel command line", v3. This series adds support for something that seems like many people always wanted but nobody added it yet, so here's the ability to set sysctl parameters via kernel command line options in the form of sysctl.vm.something=1 The important part is Patch 1. The second, not so important part is an attempt to clean up legacy one-off parameters that do the same thing as a sysctl. I don't want to remove them completely for compatibility reasons, but with generic sysctl support the idea is to remove the one-off param handlers and treat the parameters as aliases for the sysctl variants. I have identified several parameters that mention sysctl counterparts in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt but there might be more. The conversion also has varying level of success: - numa_zonelist_order is converted in Patch 2 together with adding the necessary infrastructure. It's easy as it doesn't really do anything but warn on deprecated value these days. - hung_task_panic is converted in Patch 3, but there's a downside that now it only accepts 0 and 1, while previously it was any integer value - nmi_watchdog maps to two sysctls nmi_watchdog and hardlockup_panic, so there's no straighforward conversion possible - traceoff_on_warning is a flag without value and it would be required to handle that somehow in the conversion infractructure, which seems pointless for a single flag This patch (of 5): A recently proposed patch to add vm_swappiness command line parameter in addition to existing sysctl [1] made me wonder why we don't have a general support for passing sysctl parameters via command line. Googling found only somebody else wondering the same [2], but I haven't found any prior discussion with reasons why not to do this. Settings the vm_swappiness issue aside (the underlying issue might be solved in a different way), quick search of kernel-parameters.txt shows there are already some that exist as both sysctl and kernel parameter - hung_task_panic, nmi_watchdog, numa_zonelist_order, traceoff_on_warning. A general mechanism would remove the need to add more of those one-offs and might be handy in situations where configuration by e.g. /etc/sysctl.d/ is impractical. Hence, this patch adds a new parse_args() pass that looks for parameters prefixed by 'sysctl.' and tries to interpret them as writes to the corresponding sys/ files using an temporary in-kernel procfs mount. This mechanism was suggested by Eric W. Biederman [3], as it handles all dynamically registered sysctl tables, even though we don't handle modular sysctls. Errors due to e.g. invalid parameter name or value are reported in the kernel log. The processing is hooked right before the init process is loaded, as some handlers might be more complicated than simple setters and might need some subsystems to be initialized. At the moment the init process can be started and eventually execute a process writing to /proc/sys/ then it should be also fine to do that from the kernel. Sysctls registered later on module load time are not set by this mechanism - it's expected that in such scenarios, setting sysctl values from userspace is practical enough.

kernel: add panic_on_taint
Analogously to the introduction of panic_on_warn, this patch introduces a kernel option named panic_on_taint in order to provide a simple and generic way to stop execution and catch a coredump when the kernel gets tainted by any given flag. This is useful for debugging sessions as it avoids having to rebuild the kernel to explicitly add calls to panic() into the code sites that introduce the taint flags of interest. For instance, if one is interested in proceeding with a post-mortem analysis at the point a given code path is hitting a bad page (i.e. unaccount_page_cache_page(), or slab_bug()), a coredump can be collected by rebooting the kernel with 'panic_on_taint=0x20' amended to the command line. Another, perhaps less frequent, use for this option would be as a means for assuring a security policy case where only a subset of taints, or no single taint (in paranoid mode), is allowed for the running system. The optional switch 'nousertaint' is handy in this particular scenario, as it will avoid userspace induced crashes by writes to sysctl interface /proc/sys/kernel/tainted causing false positive hits for such policies.

hugetlbfs: clean up command line processing
With all hugetlb page processing done in a single file clean up code. - Make code match desired semantics - Update documentation with semantics - Make all warnings and errors messages start with 'HugeTLB:'. - Consistently name command line parsing routines. - Warn if !hugepages_supported() and command line parameters have been specified. - Add comments to code - Describe some of the subtle interactions - Describe semantics of command line arguments This patch also fixes issues with implicitly setting the number of gigantic huge pages to preallocate. Previously on X86 command line, hugepages=2 default_hugepagesz=1G would result in zero 1G pages being preallocated and, # grep HugePages_Total /proc/meminfo HugePages_Total: 0 # sysctl -a | grep nr_hugepages vm.nr_hugepages = 2 vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy = 2 # cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages 2 After this patch 2 gigantic pages will be preallocated and all the proc, sysfs, sysctl and meminfo files will accurately reflect this. To address the issue with gigantic pages, a small change in behavior was made to command line processing. Previously the command line, hugepages=128 default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=256 would result in the allocation of 256 2M huge pages. The value 128 would be ignored without any warning. After this patch, 128 2M pages will be allocated and a warning message will be displayed indicating the value of 256 is ignored. This change in behavior is required because allocation of implicitly specified gigantic pages must be done when the default_hugepagesz= is encountered for gigantic pages. Previously the code waited until later in the boot process (hugetlb_init), to allocate pages of default size. However the bootmem allocator required for gigantic allocations is not available at this time.

kgdb patches for 5.8-rc1
By far the biggest change in this cycle are the changes that allow much earlier debug of systems that are hooked up via UART by taking advantage of the earlycon framework to implement the kgdb I/O hooks before handing over to the regular polling I/O drivers once they are available.

Documentation: kgdboc: Document new kgdboc_earlycon parameter
The recent patch ("kgdboc: Add kgdboc_earlycon to support early kgdb using boot consoles") adds a new kernel command line parameter. Document it. Note that the patch adding the feature does some comparing/contrasting of "kgdboc_earlycon" vs. the existing "ekgdboc". See that patch for more details, but briefly "ekgdboc" can be used _instead_ of "kgdboc" and just makes "kgdboc" do its normal initialization early (only works if your tty driver is already ready). The new "kgdboc_earlycon" works in combination with "kgdboc" and is backed by boot consoles.

x86/tsc: Add tsc_early_khz command line parameter
Changing base clock frequency directly impacts TSC Hz but not CPUID.16h value. An overclocked CPU supporting CPUID.16h and with partial CPUID.15h support will set TSC KHZ according to "best guess" given by CPUID.16h relying on tsc_refine_calibration_work to give better numbers later. tsc_refine_calibration_work will refuse to do its work when the outcome is off the early TSC KHZ value by more than 1% which is certain to happen on an overclocked system. Fix this by adding a tsc_early_khz command line parameter that makes the kernel skip early TSC calibration and use the given value instead. This allows the user to provide the expected TSC frequency that is closer to reality than the one reported by the hardware, enabling tsc_refine_calibration_work to do meaningful error checking.

rcutorture: Add flag to produce non-busy-wait task stalls
This commit aids testing of RCU task stall warning messages by adding an rcutorture.stall_cpu_block module parameter that results in the induced stall sleeping within the RCU read-side critical section. Spinning with interrupts disabled is still available via the rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff module parameter, and specifying neither of these two module parameters will spin with preemption disabled. Note that sleeping (as opposed to preemption) results in additional complaints from RCU at context-switch time, so yet more testing. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> |

rcu-tasks: Provide boot parameter to delay IPIs until late in grace period
This commit provides a rcupdate.rcu_task_ipi_delay kernel boot parameter that specifies how old the RCU tasks trace grace period must be before the grace-period kthread starts sending IPIs. This delay allows more tasks to pass through rcu_tasks_qs() quiescent states, thus reducing (or even eliminating) the number of IPIs that must be sent. On a short rcutorture test setting this kernel boot parameter to HZ/2 resulted in zero IPIs for all 877 RCU-tasks trace grace periods that elapsed during that test. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

x86/setup: Add an initrdmem= option to specify initrd physical address
Add the initrdmem option: initrdmem=ss[KMG],nn[KMG] which is used to specify the physical address of the initrd, almost always an address in FLASH. Also add code for x86 to use the existing phys_init_start and phys_init_size variables in the kernel. This is useful in cases where a kernel and an initrd is placed in FLASH, but there is no firmware file system structure in the FLASH. One such situation occurs when unused FLASH space on UEFI systems has been reclaimed by, e.g., taking it from the Management Engine. For example, on many systems, the ME is given half the FLASH part; not only is 2.75M of an 8M part unused; but 10.75M of a 16M part is unused. This space can be used to contain an initrd, but need to tell Linux where it is. This space is "raw": due to, e.g., UEFI limitations: it can not be added to UEFI firmware volumes without rebuilding UEFI from source or writing a UEFI device driver. It can be referenced only as a physical address and size. At the same time, if a kernel can be "netbooted" or loaded from GRUB or syslinux, the option of not using the physical address specification should be available. Then, it is easy to boot the kernel and provide an initrd; or boot the the kernel and let it use the initrd in FLASH. In practice, this has proven to be very helpful when integrating Linux into FLASH on x86. Hence, the most flexible and convenient path is to enable the initrdmem command line option in a way that it is the last choice tried. For example, on the DigitalLoggers Atomic Pi, an image into FLASH can be burnt in with a built-in command line which includes: initrdmem=0xff968000,0x200000 which specifies a location and size.

x86/speculation: Add Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) mitigation
SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from the random number generator (RNG) across cores and threads. New microcode serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is released for reuse. While it is present on all affected CPU models, the microcode mitigation is not needed on models that enumerate ARCH_CAPABILITIES[MDS_NO] in the cases where TSX is not supported or has been disabled with TSX_CTRL. The mitigation is activated by default on affected processors and it increases latency for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions. Among other effects this will reduce throughput from /dev/urandom. * Enable administrator to configure the mitigation off when desired using either mitigations=off or srbds=off. * Export vulnerability status via sysfs * Rename file-scoped macros to apply for non-whitelist table initializations.

PM: sleep: Add pm_debug_messages kernel command line option
Debug messages from the system suspend/hibernation infrastructure are disabled by default, and can only be enabled after the system has boot up via /sys/power/pm_debug_messages. This makes the hibernation resume hard to track as it involves system boot up across hibernation. There's no chance for software_resume() to track the resume process, for example. Add a kernel command line option to set pm_debug_messages during boot up. Signed-off-by: Chen Yu <yu.c.chen@intel.com> [ rjw: Subject & changelog ] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

We changed the default from 1 to 0 back in Linux v4.4 and now we are taking the next step of deprecating it, at some point in the future we will take the final step of rejecting 1. - Allow kernfs symlinks to inherit the SELinux label of the parent directory. In order to preserve backwards compatibility this is protected by the genfs_seclabel_symlinks SELinux policy capability. - Optimize how we store filename transitions in the kernel, resulting in some significant improvements to policy load times. - Do a better job calculating our internal hash table sizes which resulted in additional policy load improvements and likely general SELinux performance improvements as well. - Remove the unused initial SIDs (labels) and improve how we handle initial SIDs. - Enable per-file labeling for the bpf filesystem. - Ensure that we properly label NFS v4.2 filesystems to avoid a temporary unlabeled condition. - Add some missing XFS quota command types to the SELinux quota access controls. - Fix a problem where we were not updating the seq_file position index correctly in selinuxfs. - We consolidate some duplicated code into helper functions. - A number of list to array conversions. - Update Stephen Smalley's email address in MAINTAINERS" * tag 'selinux-pr-20200330' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux: selinux: clean up indentation issue with assignment statement NFS: Ensure security label is set for root inode MAINTAINERS: Update my email address selinux: avtab_init() and cond_policydb_init() return void selinux: clean up error path in policydb_init() selinux: remove unused initial SIDs and improve handling selinux: reduce the use of hard-coded hash sizes selinux: Add xfs quota command types selinux: optimize storage of filename transitions selinux: factor out loop body from filename_trans_read() security: selinux: allow per-file labeling for bpffs selinux: generalize evaluate_cond_node() selinux: convert cond_expr to array selinux: convert cond_av_list to array selinux: convert cond_list to array selinux: sel_avc_get_stat_idx should increase position index selinux: allow kernfs symlinks to inherit parent directory context selinux: simplify evaluate_cond_node() Documentation,selinux: deprecate setting checkreqprot to 1 selinux: move status variables out of selinux_ss |

Support for "split lock" detection:
- Atomic operations (lock prefixed instructions) which span two cache lines have to acquire the global bus lock. This is at least 1k cycles slower than an atomic operation within a cache line and disrupts performance on other cores. Aside of performance disruption this is a unpriviledged form of DoS.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle are: - Various NUMA scheduling updates: harmonize the load-balancer and NUMA placement logic to not work against each other. The intended result is better locality, better utilization and fewer migrations. - Introduce Thermal Pressure tracking and optimizations, to improve task placement on thermally overloaded systems. - Implement frequency invariant scheduler accounting on (some) x86 CPUs. This is done by observing and sampling the 'recent' CPU frequency average at ~tick boundaries. The CPU provides this data via the APERF/MPERF MSRs. This hopefully makes our capacity estimates more precise and keeps tasks on the same CPU better even if it might seem overloaded at a lower momentary frequency. (As usual, turbo mode is a complication that we resolve by observing the maximum frequency and renormalizing to it.) - Add asymmetric CPU capacity wakeup scan to improve capacity utilization on asymmetric topologies.

BGRT is for displaying seamless OEM logo from booting to login screen; however, this mechanism does not always work well on all configurations and the OEM logo can be displayed multiple times.

sched/fair: Enable tuning of decay period
Thermal pressure follows pelt signals which means the decay period for thermal pressure is the default pelt decay period. Depending on SoC characteristics and thermal activity, it might be beneficial to decay thermal pressure slower, but still in-tune with the pelt signals.

driver core: Add fw_devlink kernel commandline option
fwnode_operations.add_links allows creating device links from information provided by firmware. fwnode_operations.add_links is currently implemented only by OF/devicetree code and a specific case of efi. However, there's nothing preventing ACPI or other firmware types from implementing it. The OF implementation is currently controlled by a kernel commandline parameter called of_devlink.

torture: Allow disabling of boottime CPU-hotplug torture operations
In theory, RCU-hotplug operations are supposed to work as soon as there is more than one CPU online. However, in practice, in normal production there is no way to make them happen until userspace is up and running. Besides which, on smaller systems, rcutorture doesn't start doing hotplug operations until 30 seconds after the start of boot, which on most systems also means the better part of 30 seconds after the end of boot. This commit therefore provides a new torture.disable_onoff_at_boot kernel boot parameter that suppresses CPU-hotplug torture operations until about the time that init is spawned. Of course, if you know of a need for boottime CPU-hotplug operations, then you should avoid passing this argument to any of the torture tests. You might also want to look at the splats linked to below. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191206185208.GA25636@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72/ Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> |

rcutorture: Allow boottime stall warnings to be suppressed
In normal production, an RCU CPU stall warning at boottime is often just as bad as at any other time. In fact, given the desire for fast boot, any sort of long-term stall at boot is a bad idea. However, heavy rcutorture testing on large hyperthreaded systems can generate boottime RCU CPU stalls as a matter of course. This commit therefore provides a kernel boot parameter that suppresses reporting of boottime RCU CPU stall warnings and similarly of rcutorture writer stalls. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: React to callback overload by aggressively seeking quiescent states
In default configutions, RCU currently waits at least 100 milliseconds before asking cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help seeking quiescent states to end a grace period. But 100 milliseconds can be one good long time during an RCU callback flood, for example, as can happen when user processes repeatedly open and close files in a tight loop. These 100-millisecond gaps in successive grace periods during a callback flood can result in excessive numbers of callbacks piling up, unnecessarily increasing memory footprint. This commit therefore asks cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help as early as the first FQS scan when at least one of the CPUs has more than 20,000 callbacks queued, a number that can be changed using the new rcutree.qovld kernel boot parameter. An auxiliary qovld_calc variable is used to avoid acquisition of locks that have not yet been initialized. Early tests indicate that this reduces the RCU-callback memory footprint during rcutorture floods by from 50% to 4x, depending on configuration.

A split-lock occurs when an atomic instruction operates on data that spans two cache lines. In order to maintain atomicity the core takes a global bus lock. This is typically >1000 cycles slower than an atomic operation within a cache line. It also disrupts performance on other cores (which must wait for the bus lock to be released before their memory operations can complete). For real-time systems this may mean missing deadlines. For other systems it may just be very annoying. Some CPUs have the capability to raise an #AC trap when a split lock is attempted. Provide a command line option to give the user choices on how to handle this: split_lock_detect= off - not enabled (no traps for split locks) warn - warn once when an application does a split lock, but allow it to continue running. fatal - Send SIGBUS to applications that cause split lock On systems that support split lock detection the default is "warn". Note that if the kernel hits a split lock in any mode other than "off" it will OOPs. One implementation wrinkle is that the MSR to control the split lock detection is per-core, not per thread. This might result in some short lived races on HT systems in "warn" mode if Linux tries to enable on one thread while disabling on the other. Race analysis by Sean Christopherson: - Toggling of split-lock is only done in "warn" mode. Worst case scenario of a race is that a misbehaving task will generate multiple #AC exceptions on the same instruction. And this race will only occur if both siblings are running tasks that generate split-lock #ACs, e.g. a race where sibling threads are writing different values will only occur if CPUx is disabling split-lock after an #AC and CPUy is re-enabling split-lock after *its* previous task generated an #AC. - Transitioning between off/warn/fatal modes at runtime isn't supported and disabling is tracked per task, so hardware will always reach a steady state that matches the configured mode. I.e. split-lock is guaranteed to be enabled in hardware once all _TIF_SLD threads have been scheduled out.

Documentation,selinux: deprecate setting checkreqprot to 1
Deprecate setting the SELinux checkreqprot tunable to 1 via kernel
parameter or /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot. Setting it to 0 is left
intact for compatibility since Android and some Linux distributions
do so for security and treat an inability to set it as a fatal error.
Eventually setting it to 0 will become a no-op and the kernel will
stop using checkreqprot's value internally altogether.
checkreqprot was originally introduced as a compatibility mechanism
for legacy userspace and the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag.
However, if set to 1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be
made executable without authorization by policy. The default value
for the SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE config option was changed
from 1 to 0 in commit

bootconfig: Only load bootconfig if "bootconfig" is on the kernel cmdline
As the bootconfig is appended to the initrd it is not as easy to modify as the kernel command line. If there's some issue with the kernel, and the developer wants to boot a pristine kernel, it should not be needed to modify the initrd to remove the bootconfig for a single boot. As bootconfig is silently added (if the admin does not know where to look they may not know it's being loaded). It should be explicitly added to the kernel cmdline. The loading of the bootconfig is only done if "bootconfig" is on the kernel command line. This will let admins know that the kernel command line is extended. Note, after adding printk()s for when the size is too great or the checksum is wrong, exposed that the current method always looked for the boot config, and if this size and checksum matched, it would parse it (as if either is wrong a printk has been added to show this). It's better to only check this if the boot config is asked to be looked for.

rcuperf: Add kfree_rcu() performance Tests
This test runs kfree_rcu() in a loop to measure performance of the new kfree_rcu() batching functionality. The following table shows results when booting with arguments: rcuperf.kfree_loops=20000 rcuperf.kfree_alloc_num=8000 rcuperf.kfree_rcu_test=1 rcuperf.kfree_no_batch=X rcuperf.kfree_no_batch=X # Grace Periods Test Duration (s) X=1 (old behavior) 9133 11.5 X=0 (new behavior) 1732 12.5 On a 16 CPU system with the above boot parameters, we see that the total number of grace periods that elapse during the test drops from 9133 when not batching to 1732 when batching (a 5X improvement). The kfree_rcu() flood itself slows down a bit when batching, though, as shown. Note that the active memory consumption during the kfree_rcu() flood does increase to around 200-250MB due to the batching (from around 50MB without batching). However, this memory consumption is relatively constant. In other words, the system is able to keep up with the kfree_rcu() load. The memory consumption comes down considerably if KFREE_DRAIN_JIFFIES is increased from HZ/50 to HZ/80. A later patch will reduce memory consumption further by using multiple lists. Also, when running the test, please disable CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_PROVE_RCU for realistic comparisons with/without batching.

genirq, sched/isolation: Isolate from handling managed interrupts
The affinity of managed interrupts is completely handled in the kernel and cannot be changed via the /proc/irq/* interfaces from user space. As the kernel tries to spread out interrupts evenly accross CPUs on x86 to prevent vector exhaustion, it can happen that a managed interrupt whose affinity mask contains both isolated and housekeeping CPUs is routed to an isolated CPU. As a consequence IO submitted on a housekeeping CPU causes interrupts on the isolated CPU. Add a new sub-parameter 'managed_irq' for 'isolcpus' and the corresponding logic in the interrupt affinity selection code. The subparameter indicates to the interrupt affinity selection logic that it should try to avoid the above scenario. This isolation is best effort and only effective if the automatically assigned interrupt mask of a device queue contains isolated and housekeeping CPUs. If housekeeping CPUs are online then such interrupts are directed to the housekeeping CPU so that IO submitted on the housekeeping CPU cannot disturb the isolated CPU. If a queue's affinity mask contains only isolated CPUs then this parameter has no effect on the interrupt routing decision, though interrupts are only happening when tasks running on those isolated CPUs submit IO. IO submitted on housekeeping CPUs has no influence on those queues. If the affinity mask contains both housekeeping and isolated CPUs, but none of the contained housekeeping CPUs is online, then the interrupt is also routed to an isolated CPU. Interrupts are only delivered when one of the isolated CPUs in the affinity mask submits IO. If one of the contained housekeeping CPUs comes online, the CPU hotplug logic migrates the interrupt automatically back to the upcoming housekeeping CPU. Depending on the type of interrupt controller, this can require that at least one interrupt is delivered to the isolated CPU in order to complete the migration.

efi/x86: Limit EFI old memory map to SGI UV machines
We carry a quirk in the x86 EFI code to switch back to an older method of mapping the EFI runtime services memory regions, because it was deemed risky at the time to implement a new method without providing a fallback to the old method in case problems arose. Such problems did arise, but they appear to be limited to SGI UV1 machines, and so these are the only ones for which the fallback gets enabled automatically (via a DMI quirk). The fallback can be enabled manually as well, by passing efi=old_map, but there is very little evidence that suggests that this is something that is being relied upon in the field. Given that UV1 support is not enabled by default by the distros (Ubuntu, Fedora), there is no point in carrying this fallback code all the time if there are no other users. So let's move it into the UV support code, and document that efi=old_map now requires this support code to be enabled. Note that efi=old_map has been used in the past on other SGI UV machines to work around kernel regressions in production, so we keep the option to enable it by hand, but only if the kernel was built with UV support.

efi: Allow disabling PCI busmastering on bridges during boot
Add an option to disable the busmaster bit in the control register on all PCI bridges before calling ExitBootServices() and passing control to the runtime kernel. System firmware may configure the IOMMU to prevent malicious PCI devices from being able to attack the OS via DMA. However, since firmware can't guarantee that the OS is IOMMU-aware, it will tear down IOMMU configuration when ExitBootServices() is called. This leaves a window between where a hostile device could still cause damage before Linux configures the IOMMU again. If CONFIG_EFI_DISABLE_PCI_DMA is enabled or "efi=disable_early_pci_dma" is passed on the command line, the EFI stub will clear the busmaster bit on all PCI bridges before ExitBootServices() is called. This will prevent any malicious PCI devices from being able to perform DMA until the kernel reenables busmastering after configuring the IOMMU. This option may cause failures with some poorly behaved hardware and should not be enabled without testing. The kernel commandline options "efi=disable_early_pci_dma" or "efi=no_disable_early_pci_dma" may be used to override the default. Note that PCI devices downstream from PCI bridges are disconnected from their drivers first, using the UEFI driver model API, so that DMA can be disabled safely at the bridge level.

Here's the main documentation changes for 5.5:
- Various kerneldoc script enhancements. - More RST conversions; those are slowing down as we run out of things to convert, but we're a ways from done still. - Dan's "maintainer profile entry" work landed at last. Now we just need to get maintainers to fill in the profiles... - A reworking of the parallel build setup to work better with a variety of systems (and to not take over huge systems entirely in particular). - The MAINTAINERS file is now converted to RST during the build. Hopefully nobody ever tries to print this thing, or they will need to load a lot of paper. - A script and documentation making it easy for maintainers to add Link: tags at commit time.

Driver core patches for 5.5-rc1
Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 5.5-rc1 There's a few minor cleanups and fixes in here, but the majority of the patches in here fall into two buckets: - debugfs api cleanups and fixes - driver core device link support for boot dependancy issues The debugfs api cleanups are working to slowly refactor the debugfs apis so that it is even harder to use incorrectly. That work has been happening for the past few kernel releases and will continue over time, it's a long-term project/goal The driver core device link support missed 5.4 by just a bit, so it's been sitting and baking for many months now. It's from Saravana Kannan to help resolve the problems that DT-based systems have at boot time with dependancy graphs and kernel modules. Turns out that no one has actually tried to build a generic arm64 kernel with loads of modules and have it "just work" for a variety of platforms (like a distro kernel) The big problem turned out to be a lack of depandancy information between different areas of DT entries, and the work here resolves that problem and now allows devices to boot properly, and quicker than a monolith kernel. All of these patches have been in linux-next for a long time with no reported issues.

x86/speculation: Fix incorrect MDS/TAA mitigation status
For MDS vulnerable processors with TSX support, enabling either MDS or
TAA mitigations will enable the use of VERW to flush internal processor
buffers at the right code path. IOW, they are either both mitigated
or both not. However, if the command line options are inconsistent,
the vulnerabilites sysfs files may not report the mitigation status
correctly.
For example, with only the "mds=off" option:
vulnerabilities/mds:Vulnerable; SMT vulnerable
vulnerabilities/tsx_async_abort:Mitigation: Clear CPU buffers; SMT vulnerable
The mds vulnerabilities file has wrong status in this case. Similarly,
the taa vulnerability file will be wrong with mds mitigation on, but
taa off.
Change taa_select_mitigation() to sync up the two mitigation status
and have them turned off if both "mds=off" and "tsx_async_abort=off"
are present.
Update documentation to emphasize the fact that both "mds=off" and
"tsx_async_abort=off" have to be specified together for processors that
are affected by both TAA and MDS to be effective.
[ bp: Massage and add kernel-parameters.txt change too. ]

x86/efi: Add efi_fake_mem support for EFI_MEMORY_SP
Given that EFI_MEMORY_SP is platform BIOS policy decision for marking memory ranges as "reserved for a specific purpose" there will inevitably be scenarios where the BIOS omits the attribute in situations where it is desired. Unlike other attributes if the OS wants to reserve this memory from the kernel the reservation needs to happen early in init. So early, in fact, that it needs to happen before e820__memblock_setup() which is a pre-requisite for efi_fake_memmap() that wants to allocate memory for the updated table. Introduce an x86 specific efi_fake_memmap_early() that can search for attempts to set EFI_MEMORY_SP via efi_fake_mem and update the e820 table accordingly. The KASLR code that scans the command line looking for user-directed memory reservations also needs to be updated to consider "efi_fake_mem=nn@ss:0x40000" requests.

efi: Common enable/disable infrastructure for EFI soft reservation
UEFI 2.8 defines an EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute bit to augment the interpretation of the EFI Memory Types as "reserved for a specific purpose". The proposed Linux behavior for specific purpose memory is that it is reserved for direct-access (device-dax) by default and not available for any kernel usage, not even as an OOM fallback. Later, through udev scripts or another init mechanism, these device-dax claimed ranges can be reconfigured and hot-added to the available System-RAM with a unique node identifier. This device-dax management scheme implements "soft" in the "soft reserved" designation by allowing some or all of the reservation to be recovered as typical memory. This policy can be disabled at compile-time with CONFIG_EFI_SOFT_RESERVE=n, or runtime with efi=nosoftreserve. As for this patch, define the common helpers to determine if the EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute should be honored. The determination needs to be made early to prevent the kernel from being loaded into soft-reserved memory, or otherwise allowing early allocations to land there. Follow-on changes are needed per architecture to leverage these helpers in their respective mem-init paths.

kvm: x86: mmu: Recovery of shattered NX large pages
The page table pages corresponding to broken down large pages are zapped in FIFO order, so that the large page can potentially be recovered, if it is not longer being used for execution.

kvm: mmu: ITLB_MULTIHIT mitigation
With some Intel processors, putting the same virtual address in the TLB as both a 4 KiB and 2 MiB page can confuse the instruction fetch unit and cause the processor to issue a machine check resulting in a CPU lockup. Unfortunately when EPT page tables use huge pages, it is possible for a malicious guest to cause this situation. Add a knob to mark huge pages as non-executable. When the nx_huge_pages parameter is enabled (and we are using EPT), all huge pages are marked as NX. If the guest attempts to execute in one of those pages, the page is broken down into 4K pages, which are then marked executable. This is not an issue for shadow paging (except nested EPT), because then the host is in control of TLB flushes and the problematic situation cannot happen. With nested EPT, again the nested guest can cause problems shadow and direct EPT is treated in the same way.

x86/xen: Return from panic notifier
Currently execution of panic() continues until Xen's panic notifier (xen_panic_event()) is called at which point we make a hypercall that never returns. This means that any notifier that is supposed to be called later as well as significant part of panic() code (such as pstore writes from kmsg_dump()) is never executed. There is no reason for xen_panic_event() to be this last point in execution since panic()'s emergency_restart() will call into xen_emergency_restart() from where we can perform our hypercall. Nevertheless, we will provide xen_legacy_crash boot option that will preserve original behavior during crash. This option could be used, for example, if running kernel dumper (which happens after panic notifiers) is undesirable.

of: property: Add functional dependency link from DT bindings
Add device links after the devices are created (but before they are probed) by looking at common DT bindings like clocks and interconnects. Automatically adding device links for functional dependencies at the framework level provides the following benefits: - Optimizes device probe order and avoids the useless work of attempting probes of devices that will not probe successfully (because their suppliers aren't present or haven't probed yet). For example, in a commonly available mobile SoC, registering just one consumer device's driver at an initcall level earlier than the supplier device's driver causes 11 failed probe attempts before the consumer device probes successfully. This was with a kernel with all the drivers statically compiled in. This problem gets a lot worse if all the drivers are loaded as modules without direct symbol dependencies. - Supplier devices like clock providers, interconnect providers, etc need to keep the resources they provide active and at a particular state(s) during boot up even if their current set of consumers don't request the resource to be active. This is because the rest of the consumers might not have probed yet and turning off the resource before all the consumers have probed could lead to a hang or undesired user experience. Some frameworks (Eg: regulator) handle this today by turning off "unused" resources at late_initcall_sync and hoping all the devices have probed by then. This is not a valid assumption for systems with loadable modules. Other frameworks (Eg: clock) just don't handle this due to the lack of a clear signal for when they can turn off resources. This leads to downstream hacks to handle cases like this that can easily be solved in the upstream kernel. By linking devices before they are probed, we give suppliers a clear count of the number of dependent consumers. Once all of the consumers are active, the suppliers can turn off the unused resources without making assumptions about the number of consumers. By default we just add device-links to track "driver presence" (probe succeeded) of the supplier device. If any other functionality provided by device-links are needed, it is left to the consumer/supplier devices to change the link when they probe. kbuild test robot reported clang error about missing const Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190904211126.47518-4-saravanak@google.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> |

kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.
The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
to not requiring external patches.
There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:
- Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/
- Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.
The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
permitted.
The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:
lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}
Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.
This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
overriden by kernel configuration.
New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
include/linux/security.h for details.
The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.

mm, page_owner, debug_pagealloc: save and dump freeing stack trace
The debug_pagealloc functionality is useful to catch buggy page allocator users that cause e.g. use after free or double free. When page inconsistency is detected, debugging is often simpler by knowing the call stack of process that last allocated and freed the page. When page_owner is also enabled, we record the allocation stack trace, but not freeing. This patch therefore adds recording of freeing process stack trace to page owner info, if both page_owner and debug_pagealloc are configured and enabled. With only page_owner enabled, this info is not useful for the memory leak debugging use case. dump_page() is adjusted to print the info. An example result of calling __free_pages() twice may look like this (note the page last free stack trace): BUG: Bad page state in process bash pfn:13d8f8 page:ffffc31984f63e00 refcount:-1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 flags: 0x1affff800000000() raw: 01affff800000000 dead000000000100 dead000000000122 0000000000000000 raw: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffffffffffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: nonzero _refcount page_owner tracks the page as freed page last allocated via order 0, migratetype Unmovable, gfp_mask 0xcc0(GFP_KERNEL) prep_new_page+0x143/0x150 get_page_from_freelist+0x289/0x380 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x13c/0x2d0 khugepaged+0x6e/0xc10 kthread+0xf9/0x130 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 page last free stack trace: free_pcp_prepare+0x134/0x1e0 free_unref_page+0x18/0x90 khugepaged+0x7b/0xc10 kthread+0xf9/0x130 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 Modules linked in: CPU: 3 PID: 271 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.3.0-rc4-2.g07a1a73-default+ #57 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.12.1-0-ga5cab58-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x85/0xc0 bad_page.cold+0xba/0xbf rmqueue_pcplist.isra.0+0x6c5/0x6d0 rmqueue+0x2d/0x810 get_page_from_freelist+0x191/0x380 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x13c/0x2d0 __get_free_pages+0xd/0x30 __pud_alloc+0x2c/0x110 copy_page_range+0x4f9/0x630 dup_mmap+0x362/0x480 dup_mm+0x68/0x110 copy_process+0x19e1/0x1b40 _do_fork+0x73/0x310 __x64_sys_clone+0x75/0x80 do_syscall_64+0x6e/0x1e0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe RIP: 0033:0x7f10af854a10 ...

It's a somewhat calmer cycle for docs this time, as the churn of the mass
RST conversion is happily mostly behind us.
- A new document on reproducible builds.
- We finally got around to zapping the documentation for hardware support
that was removed in 2004; one doesn't want to rush these things.
- The usual assortment of fixes, typo corrections, etc.
You'll still find a handful of annoying conflicts against other trees,
mostly tied to the last RST conversions; resolutions are straightforward
and the linux-next ones are good.

powerpc/64s/radix: introduce options to disable use of the tlbie instruction
Introduce two options to control the use of the tlbie instruction. A boot time option which completely disables the kernel using the instruction, this is currently incompatible with HASH MMU, KVM, and coherent accelerators. And a debugfs option can be switched at runtime and avoids using tlbie for invalidating CPU TLBs for normal process and kernel address mappings. Coherent accelerators are still managed with tlbie, as will KVM partition scope translations. Cross-CPU TLB flushing is implemented with IPIs and tlbiel. This is a basic implementation which does not attempt to make any optimisation beyond the tlbie implementation. This is useful for performance testing among other things. For example in certain situations on large systems, using IPIs may be faster than tlbie as they can be directed rather than broadcast. Later we may also take advantage of the IPIs to do more interesting things such as trim the mm cpumask more aggressively.

x86/CPU/AMD: Clear RDRAND CPUID bit on AMD family 15h/16h
There have been reports of RDRAND issues after resuming from suspend on some AMD family 15h and family 16h systems. This issue stems from a BIOS not performing the proper steps during resume to ensure RDRAND continues to function properly. RDRAND support is indicated by CPUID Fn00000001_ECX[30]. This bit can be reset by clearing MSR C001_1004[62]. Any software that checks for RDRAND support using CPUID, including the kernel, will believe that RDRAND is not supported. Update the CPU initialization to clear the RDRAND CPUID bit for any family 15h and 16h processor that supports RDRAND. If it is known that the family 15h or family 16h system does not have an RDRAND resume issue or that the system will not be placed in suspend, the "rdrand=force" kernel parameter can be used to stop the clearing of the RDRAND CPUID bit. Additionally, update the suspend and resume path to save and restore the MSR C001_1004 value to ensure that the RDRAND CPUID setting remains in place after resuming from suspend. Note, that clearing the RDRAND CPUID bit does not prevent a processor that normally supports the RDRAND instruction from executing it. So any code that determined the support based on family and model won't #UD.

x86: Add "nopv" parameter to disable PV extensions
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.

xen: remove tmem driver
The Xen tmem (transcendent memory) driver can be removed, as the related Xen hypervisor feature never made it past the "experimental" state and will be removed in future Xen versions (>= 4.13). The xen-selfballoon driver depends on tmem, so it can be removed, too.
