commit 68239654acafe6aad5a3c1dc7237e60accfebc03 upstream.
The sequence
fpu->initialized = 1; /* step A */
preempt_disable(); /* step B */
fpu__restore(fpu);
preempt_enable();
in __fpu__restore_sig() is racy in regard to a context switch.
For 32bit frames, __fpu__restore_sig() prepares the FPU state within
fpu->state. To ensure that a context switch (switch_fpu_prepare() in
particular) does not modify fpu->state it uses fpu__drop() which sets
fpu->initialized to 0.
After fpu->initialized is cleared, the CPU's FPU state is not saved
to fpu->state during a context switch. The new state is loaded via
fpu__restore(). It gets loaded into fpu->state from userland and
ensured it is sane. fpu->initialized is then set to 1 in order to avoid
fpu__initialize() doing anything (overwrite the new state) which is part
of fpu__restore().
A context switch between step A and B above would save CPU's current FPU
registers to fpu->state and overwrite the newly prepared state. This
looks like a tiny race window but the Kernel Test Robot reported this
back in 2016 while we had lazy FPU support. Borislav Petkov made the
link between that report and another patch that has been posted. Since
the removal of the lazy FPU support, this race goes unnoticed because
the warning has been removed.
Disable bottom halves around the restore sequence to avoid the race. BH
need to be disabled because BH is allowed to run (even with preemption
disabled) and might invoke kernel_fpu_begin() by doing IPsec.

commit 32043fa065b51e0b1433e48d118821c71b5cd65d upstream.
Currently the copy_to_user of data in the gentry struct is copying
uninitiaized data in field _pad from the stack to userspace.
Fix this by explicitly memset'ing gentry to zero, this also will zero any
compiler added padding fields that may be in struct (currently there are
none).

commit 706d51681d636a0c4a5ef53395ec3b803e45ed4d upstream.
Future Intel processors will support "Enhanced IBRS" which is an "always
on" mode i.e. IBRS bit in SPEC_CTRL MSR is enabled once and never
disabled.
From the specification [1]:
"With enhanced IBRS, the predicted targets of indirect branches
executed cannot be controlled by software that was executed in a less
privileged predictor mode or on another logical processor. As a
result, software operating on a processor with enhanced IBRS need not
use WRMSR to set IA32_SPEC_CTRL.IBRS after every transition to a more
privileged predictor mode. Software can isolate predictor modes
effectively simply by setting the bit once. Software need not disable
enhanced IBRS prior to entering a sleep state such as MWAIT or HLT."
If Enhanced IBRS is supported by the processor then use it as the
preferred spectre v2 mitigation mechanism instead of Retpoline. Intel's
Retpoline white paper [2] states:
"Retpoline is known to be an effective branch target injection (Spectre
variant 2) mitigation on Intel processors belonging to family 6
(enumerated by the CPUID instruction) that do not have support for
enhanced IBRS. On processors that support enhanced IBRS, it should be
used for mitigation instead of retpoline."
The reason why Enhanced IBRS is the recommended mitigation on processors
which support it is that these processors also support CET which
provides a defense against ROP attacks. Retpoline is very similar to ROP
techniques and might trigger false positives in the CET defense.
If Enhanced IBRS is selected as the mitigation technique for spectre v2,
the IBRS bit in SPEC_CTRL MSR is set once at boot time and never
cleared. Kernel also has to make sure that IBRS bit remains set after
VMEXIT because the guest might have cleared the bit. This is already
covered by the existing x86_spec_ctrl_set_guest() and
x86_spec_ctrl_restore_host() speculation control functions.
Enhanced IBRS still requires IBPB for full mitigation.

option without value is provided
commit ccde460b9ae5c2bd5e4742af0a7f623c2daad566 upstream.
memory_corruption_check[{_period|_size}]()'s handlers do not check input

would be a NULL pointer if each of the kernel parameters, without its

commit 53c613fe6349994f023245519265999eed75957f upstream.
STIBP is a feature provided by certain Intel ucodes / CPUs. This feature
(once enabled) prevents cross-hyperthread control of decisions made by
indirect branch predictors.
Enable this feature if
- the CPU is vulnerable to spectre v2
- the CPU supports SMT and has SMT siblings online
- spectre_v2 mitigation autoselection is enabled (default)
After some previous discussion, this leaves STIBP on all the time, as wrmsr
on crossing kernel boundary is a no-no. This could perhaps later be a bit
more optimized (like disabling it in NOHZ, experiment with disabling it in
idle, etc) if needed.
Note that the synchronization of the mask manipulation via newly added
spec_ctrl_mutex is currently not strictly needed, as the only updater is
already being serialized by cpu_add_remove_lock, but let's make this a
little bit more future-proof.

This reverts commit 3a8304b7ad2e291777e8499e39390145d932a2fd, which was
upstream commit 05ab1d8a4b36ee912b7087c6da127439ed0a903e.
Ben Hutchings writes:
This backport is incorrect. The part that updated __startup_64() in
arch/x86/kernel/head64.c was dropped, presumably because that function
doesn't exist in 4.9. However that seems to be an essential of the
fix. In 4.9 the startup_64 routine in arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S would
need to be changed instead.
I also found that this introduces new boot-time warnings on some
systems if CONFIG_DEBUG_WX is enabled.
So, unless someone provides fixes for those issues, I think this should
be reverted for the 4.9 branch.

[ Upstream commit ae1d557d8f30cb097b4d1f2ab04fa294588ee1cf ]
A SoC variant of Geode GX1, notably NSC branded SC1100, seems to
report an inverted Device ID in its DIR0 configuration register,
specifically 0xb instead of the expected 0x4.
Catch this presumably quirky version so it's properly recognized
as GX1 and has its cache switched to write-back mode, which provides
a significant performance boost in most workloads.
SC1100's datasheet "Geode™ SC1100 Information Appliance On a Chip",
states in section 1.1.7.1 "Device ID" that device identification
values are specified in SC1100's device errata. These, however,
seem to not have been publicly released.
Wading through a number of boot logs and /proc/cpuinfo dumps found on
pastebin and blogs, this patch should mostly be relevant for a number
of now admittedly aging Soekris NET4801 and PC Engines WRAP devices,
the latter being the platform this issue was discovered on.
Performance impact was verified using "openssl speed", with
write-back caching scaling throughput between -3% and +41%.

commit 05ab1d8a4b36ee912b7087c6da127439ed0a903e upstream.
We met a kernel panic when enabling earlycon, which is due to the fixmap
address of earlycon is not statically setup.
Currently the static fixmap setup in head_64.S only covers 2M virtual
address space, while it actually could be in 4M space with different
kernel configurations, e.g. when VSYSCALL emulation is disabled.
So increase the static space to 4M for now by defining FIXMAP_PMD_NUM to 2,
and add a build time check to ensure that the fixmap is covered by the
initial static page tables.

commit f12d11c5c184626b4befdee3d573ec8237405a33 upstream.
Reset the KASAN shadow state of the task stack before rewinding RSP.
Without this, a kernel oops will leave parts of the stack poisoned, and
code running under do_exit() can trip over such poisoned regions and cause
nonsensical false-positive KASAN reports about stack-out-of-bounds bugs.
This does not wipe the exception stacks; if an oops happens on an exception
stack, it might result in random KASAN false-positives from other tasks
afterwards. This is probably relatively uninteresting, since if the kernel
oopses on an exception stack, there are most likely bigger things to worry
about. It'd be more interesting if vmapped stacks and KASAN were
compatible, since then handle_stack_overflow() would oops from exception
stack context.

commit cc51e5428ea54f575d49cfcede1d4cb3a72b4ec4 upstream.
On Nehalem and newer core CPUs the CPU cache internally uses 44 bits
physical address space. The L1TF workaround is limited by this internal
cache address width, and needs to have one bit free there for the
mitigation to work.
Older client systems report only 36bit physical address space so the range
check decides that L1TF is not mitigated for a 36bit phys/32GB system with
some memory holes.
But since these actually have the larger internal cache width this warning
is bogus because it would only really be needed if the system had more than
43bits of memory.
Add a new internal x86_cache_bits field. Normally it is the same as the
physical bits field reported by CPUID, but for Nehalem and newerforce it to
be at least 44bits.
Change the L1TF memory size warning to use the new cache_bits field to
avoid bogus warnings and remove the bogus comment about memory size.

commit b89b41d0b8414690ec0030c134b8bde209e6d06c upstream.
Current cpu_core_id fixup causes downcored F17h configurations to be
incorrect:
NODE: 0
processor 0 core id : 0
processor 1 core id : 1
processor 2 core id : 2
processor 3 core id : 4
processor 4 core id : 5
processor 5 core id : 0
NODE: 1
processor 6 core id : 2
processor 7 core id : 3
processor 8 core id : 4
processor 9 core id : 0
processor 10 core id : 1
processor 11 core id : 2
Code that relies on the cpu_core_id, like match_smt(), for example,
which builds the thread siblings masks used by the scheduler, is
mislead.
So, limit the fixup to pre-F17h machines. The new value for cpu_core_id
for F17h and later will represent the CPUID_Fn8000001E_EBX[CoreId],
which is guaranteed to be unique for each core within a socket.
This way we have:
NODE: 0
processor 0 core id : 0
processor 1 core id : 1
processor 2 core id : 2
processor 3 core id : 4
processor 4 core id : 5
processor 5 core id : 6
NODE: 1
processor 6 core id : 8
processor 7 core id : 9
processor 8 core id : 10
processor 9 core id : 12
processor 10 core id : 13
processor 11 core id : 14

commit bc2d8d262cba5736332cbc866acb11b1c5748aa9 upstream
Josh reported that the late SMT evaluation in cpu_smt_state_init() sets
cpu_smt_control to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED in case that 'nosmt' was supplied
on the kernel command line as it cannot differentiate between SMT disabled
by BIOS and SMT soft disable via 'nosmt'. That wreckages the state and
makes the sysfs interface unusable.
Rework this so that during bringup of the non boot CPUs the availability of
SMT is determined in cpu_smt_allowed(). If a newly booted CPU is not a
'primary' thread then set the local cpu_smt_available marker and evaluate
this explicitely right after the initial SMP bringup has finished.
SMT evaulation on x86 is a trainwreck as the firmware has all the
information _before_ booting the kernel, but there is no interface to query
it.

commit 447ae316670230d7d29430e2cbf1f5db4f49d14c upstream
The next patch in this series will have to make the definition of
irq_cpustat_t available to entering_irq().
Inclusion of asm/hardirq.h into asm/apic.h would cause circular header
dependencies like
asm/smp.h
asm/apic.h
asm/hardirq.h
linux/irq.h
linux/topology.h
linux/smp.h
asm/smp.h
or
linux/gfp.h
linux/mmzone.h
asm/mmzone.h
asm/mmzone_64.h
asm/smp.h
asm/apic.h
asm/hardirq.h
linux/irq.h
linux/irqdesc.h
linux/kobject.h
linux/sysfs.h
linux/kernfs.h
linux/idr.h
linux/gfp.h
and others.
This causes compilation errors because of the header guards becoming
effective in the second inclusion: symbols/macros that had been defined
before wouldn't be available to intermediate headers in the #include chain
anymore.
A possible workaround would be to move the definition of irq_cpustat_t
into its own header and include that from both, asm/hardirq.h and
asm/apic.h.
However, this wouldn't solve the real problem, namely asm/harirq.h
unnecessarily pulling in all the linux/irq.h cruft: nothing in
asm/hardirq.h itself requires it. Also, note that there are some other
archs, like e.g. arm64, which don't have that #include in their
asm/hardirq.h.
Remove the linux/irq.h #include from x86' asm/hardirq.h.
Fix resulting compilation errors by adding appropriate #includes to *.c
files as needed.
Note that some of these *.c files could be cleaned up a bit wrt. to their
set of #includes, but that should better be done from separate patches, if
at all.

commit d90a7a0ec83fb86622cd7dae23255d3c50a99ec8 upstream
Introduce the 'l1tf=' kernel command line option to allow for boot-time
switching of mitigation that is used on processors affected by L1TF.
The possible values are:
full
Provides all available mitigations for the L1TF vulnerability. Disables
SMT and enables all mitigations in the hypervisors. SMT control via
/sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control is still possible after boot.
Hypervisors will issue a warning when the first VM is started in
a potentially insecure configuration, i.e. SMT enabled or L1D flush
disabled.
full,force
Same as 'full', but disables SMT control. Implies the 'nosmt=force'
command line option. sysfs control of SMT and the hypervisor flush
control is disabled.
flush
Leaves SMT enabled and enables the conditional hypervisor mitigation.
Hypervisors will issue a warning when the first VM is started in a
potentially insecure configuration, i.e. SMT enabled or L1D flush
disabled.
flush,nosmt
Disables SMT and enables the conditional hypervisor mitigation. SMT
control via /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control is still possible
after boot. If SMT is reenabled or flushing disabled at runtime
hypervisors will issue a warning.
flush,nowarn
Same as 'flush', but hypervisors will not warn when
a VM is started in a potentially insecure configuration.
off
Disables hypervisor mitigations and doesn't emit any warnings.
Default is 'flush'.
Let KVM adhere to these semantics, which means:
- 'lt1f=full,force' : Performe L1D flushes. No runtime control
possible.
- 'l1tf=full'
- 'l1tf-flush'
- 'l1tf=flush,nosmt' : Perform L1D flushes and warn on VM start if
SMT has been runtime enabled or L1D flushing
has been run-time enabled
- 'l1tf=flush,nowarn' : Perform L1D flushes and no warnings are emitted.
- 'l1tf=off' : L1D flushes are not performed and no warnings
are emitted.
KVM can always override the L1D flushing behavior using its 'vmentry_l1d_flush'
module parameter except when lt1f=full,force is set.
This makes KVM's private 'nosmt' option redundant, and as it is a bit
non-systematic anyway (this is something to control globally, not on
hypervisor level), remove that option.
Add the missing Documentation entry for the l1tf vulnerability sysfs file
while at it.

The CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED state is set (if the processor does not support

That was fine so far as this was only required to make the output of the

With the upcoming l1tf command line parameter, this needs to be set up
before the L1TF mitigation selection and command line parsing happens.

commit 506a66f374891ff08e064a058c446b336c5ac760 upstream
Dave Hansen reported, that it's outright dangerous to keep SMT siblings
disabled completely so they are stuck in the BIOS and wait for SIPI.
The reason is that Machine Check Exceptions are broadcasted to siblings and
the soft disabled sibling has CR4.MCE = 0. If a MCE is delivered to a
logical core with CR4.MCE = 0, it asserts IERR#, which shuts down or
reboots the machine. The MCE chapter in the SDM contains the following
blurb:
Because the logical processors within a physical package are tightly
coupled with respect to shared hardware resources, both logical
processors are notified of machine check errors that occur within a
given physical processor. If machine-check exceptions are enabled when
a fatal error is reported, all the logical processors within a physical
package are dispatched to the machine-check exception handler. If
machine-check exceptions are disabled, the logical processors enter the
shutdown state and assert the IERR# signal. When enabling machine-check
exceptions, the MCE flag in control register CR4 should be set for each
logical processor.
Reverting the commit which ignores siblings at enumeration time solves only
half of the problem. The core cpuhotplug logic needs to be adjusted as
well.
This thoughtful engineered mechanism also turns the boot process on all
Intel HT enabled systems into a MCE lottery. MCE is enabled on the boot CPU
before the secondary CPUs are brought up. Depending on the number of
physical cores the window in which this situation can happen is smaller or
larger. On a HSW-EX it's about 750ms:
MCE is enabled on the boot CPU:
[ 0.244017] mce: CPU supports 22 MCE banks
The corresponding sibling #72 boots:
[ 1.008005] .... node #0, CPUs: #72
That means if an MCE hits on physical core 0 (logical CPUs 0 and 72)
between these two points the machine is going to shutdown. At least it's a
known safe state.
It's obvious that the early boot can be hit by an MCE as well and then runs
into the same situation because MCEs are not yet enabled on the boot CPU.
But after enabling them on the boot CPU, it does not make any sense to
prevent the kernel from recovering.
Adjust the nosmt kernel parameter documentation as well.

commit 7ce2f0393ea2396142b7faf6ee9b1f3676d08a5f upstream
The TOPOEXT reenablement is a workaround for broken BIOSen which didn't
enable the CPUID bit. amd_get_topology_early(), however, relies on
that bit being set so that it can read out the CPUID leaf and set
smp_num_siblings properly.
Move the reenablement up to early_init_amd(). While at it, simplify
amd_get_topology_early().

commit 2207def700f902f169fc237b717252c326f9e464 upstream
nosmt on the kernel command line merely prevents the onlining of the
secondary SMT siblings.
nosmt=force makes the APIC detection code ignore the secondary SMT siblings
completely, so they even do not show up as possible CPUs. That reduces the
amount of memory allocations for per cpu variables and saves other
resources from being allocated too large.
This is not fully equivalent to disabling SMT in the BIOS because the low
level SMT enabling in the BIOS can result in partitioning of resources
between the siblings, which is not undone by just ignoring them. Some CPUs
can use the full resources when their sibling is not onlined, but this is
depending on the CPU family and model and it's not well documented whether
this applies to all partitioned resources. That means depending on the
workload disabling SMT in the BIOS might result in better performance.
Linus analysis of the Intel manual:
The intel optimization manual is not very clear on what the partitioning
rules are.
I find:
"In general, the buffers for staging instructions between major pipe
stages are partitioned. These buffers include µop queues after the
execution trace cache, the queues after the register rename stage, the
reorder buffer which stages instructions for retirement, and the load
and store buffers.
In the case of load and store buffers, partitioning also provided an
easier implementation to maintain memory ordering for each logical
processor and detect memory ordering violations"
but some of that partitioning may be relaxed if the HT thread is "not
active":
"In Intel microarchitecture code name Sandy Bridge, the micro-op queue
is statically partitioned to provide 28 entries for each logical
processor, irrespective of software executing in single thread or
multiple threads. If one logical processor is not active in Intel
microarchitecture code name Ivy Bridge, then a single thread executing
on that processor core can use the 56 entries in the micro-op queue"
but I do not know what "not active" means, and how dynamic it is. Some of
that partitioning may be entirely static and depend on the early BIOS
disabling of HT, and even if we park the cores, the resources will just be
wasted.

commit 1e1d7e25fd759eddf96d8ab39d0a90a1979b2d8c upstream
To support force disabling of SMT it's required to know the number of
thread siblings early. amd_get_topology() cannot be called before the APIC
driver is selected, so split out the part which initializes
smp_num_siblings and invoke it from amd_early_init().

commit 119bff8a9c9bb00116a844ec68be7bc4b1c768f5 upstream
Old code used to check whether CPUID ext max level is >= 0x80000008 because
that last leaf contains the number of cores of the physical CPU. The three
functions called there now do not depend on that leaf anymore so the check
can go.

commit 1910ad5624968f93be48e8e265513c54d66b897c upstream
Make use of the new early detection function to initialize smp_num_siblings
on the boot cpu before the MP-Table or ACPI/MADT scan happens. That's
required for force disabling SMT.

commit 6a4d2657e048f096c7ffcad254010bd94891c8c0 upstream
If the CPU is supporting SMT then the primary thread can be found by
checking the lower APIC ID bits for zero. smp_num_siblings is used to build
the mask for the APIC ID bits which need to be taken into account.
This uses the MPTABLE or ACPI/MADT supplied APIC ID, which can be different
than the initial APIC ID in CPUID. But according to AMD the lower bits have
to be consistent. Intel gave a tentative confirmation as well.
Preparatory patch to support disabling SMT at boot/runtime.
