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 dependency 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.

2019-11-16x86/speculation: Fix incorrect MDS/TAA mitigation statusWaiman Long
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.

2019-11-07x86/efi: Add efi_fake_mem support for EFI_MEMORY_SPDan Williams
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.

2019-11-07efi: Common enable/disable infrastructure for EFI soft reservationDan Williams
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.

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.

2019-11-04kvm: mmu: ITLB_MULTIHIT mitigationPaolo Bonzini
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.

2019-10-25PCI/DPC: Add "pcie_ports=dpc-native" to allow DPC without AER controlOlof Johansson
Prior to eed85ff4c0da7 ("PCI/DPC: Enable DPC only if AER is available"), Linux handled DPC events regardless of whether firmware had granted it ownership of AER or DPC, e.g., via _OSC. PCIe r5.0, sec 6.2.10, recommends that the OS link control of DPC to control of AER, so after eed85ff4c0da7, Linux handles DPC events only if it has control of AER. On platforms that do not grant OS control of AER via _OSC, Linux DPC handling worked before eed85ff4c0da7 but not after. To make Linux DPC handling work on those platforms the same way they did before, add a "pcie_ports=dpc-native" kernel parameter that makes Linux handle DPC events regardless of whether it has control of AER.

2019-10-07x86/xen: Return from panic notifierBoris Ostrovsky
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.

2019-10-04of: property: Add functional dependency link from DT bindingsSaravana Kannan
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>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris: "This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others. From the original description: This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature, intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel. When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted. Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the 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. Stephen Rothwell noted that commit 9d1f8be5cf42 ("bpf: Restrict bpf when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode") is missing a Signed-off-by from its author.

2019-09-24mm, page_owner, debug_pagealloc: save and dump freeing stack traceVlastimil Babka
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 ...

2019-09-05powerpc/64s/radix: introduce options to disable use of the tlbie instructionNicholas Piggin
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.

2019-09-04tty: serial: Add linflexuart driver for S32V234Stefan-gabriel Mirea
Introduce support for LINFlex driver, based on: - the version of Freescale LPUART driver after commit b3e3bf2ef2c7 ("Merge 4.0-rc7 into tty-next"); - commit abf1e0a98083 ("tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: lock port on console write"). In this basic version, the driver can be tested using initramfs and relies on the clocks and pin muxing set up by U-Boot. Remarks concerning the earlycon support: - LinFlexD does not allow character transmissions in the INIT mode (see section 47.4.2.1 in the reference manual[1]). Therefore, a mutual exclusion between the first linflex_setup_watermark/linflex_set_termios executions and linflex_earlycon_putchar was employed and the characters normally sent to earlycon during initialization are kept in a buffer and sent afterwards. - Empirically, character transmission is also forbidden within the last 1-2 ms before entering the INIT mode, so we use an explicit timeout (PREINIT_DELAY) between linflex_earlycon_putchar and the first call to linflex_setup_watermark. - U-Boot currently uses the UART FIFO mode, while this driver makes the transition to the buffer mode. Therefore, the earlycon putchar function matches the U-Boot behavior before initializations and the Linux behavior after.
