Andy Lutomirski 58a5aac533 x86/entry/32: Introduce and use X86_BUG_ESPFIX instead of paravirt_enabled
x86_64 has very clean espfix handling on paravirt: espfix64 is set
up in native_iret, so paravirt systems that override iret bypass
espfix64 automatically.  This is robust and straightforward.

x86_32 is messier.  espfix is set up before the IRET paravirt patch
point, so it can't be directly conditionalized on whether we use
native_iret.  We also can't easily move it into native_iret without
regressing performance due to a bizarre consideration.  Specifically,
on 64-bit kernels, the logic is:

  if (regs->ss & 0x4)
          setup_espfix;

On 32-bit kernels, the logic is:

  if ((regs->ss & 0x4) && (regs->cs & 0x3) == 3 &&
      (regs->flags & X86_EFLAGS_VM) == 0)
          setup_espfix;

The performance of setup_espfix itself is essentially irrelevant, but
the comparison happens on every IRET so its performance matters.  On
x86_64, there's no need for any registers except flags to implement
the comparison, so we fold the whole thing into native_iret.  On
x86_32, we don't do that because we need a free register to
implement the comparison efficiently.  We therefore do espfix setup
before restoring registers on x86_32.

This patch gets rid of the explicit paravirt_enabled check by
introducing X86_BUG_ESPFIX on 32-bit systems and using an ALTERNATIVE
to skip espfix on paravirt systems where iret != native_iret.  This is
also messy, but it's at least in line with other things we do.

This improves espfix performance by removing a branch, but no one
cares.  More importantly, it removes a paravirt_enabled user, which is
good because paravirt_enabled is ill-defined and is going away.

Thomas Gleixner 1f12e32f4c x86/topology: Create logical package id
For per package oriented services we must be able to rely on the number of CPU
packages to be within bounds. Create a tracking facility, which

- calculates the number of possible packages depending on nr_cpu_ids after boot

- makes sure that the package id is within the number of possible packages. If
  the apic id is outside we map it to a logical package id if there is enough
  space available.

Provide interfaces for drivers to query the mapping and do translations from
physcial to logical ids.

Brian Gerst 2476f2fa20 x86/alternatives: Discard dynamic check after init
Move the code to do the dynamic check to the altinstr_aux
section so that it is discarded after alternatives have run and
a static branch has been chosen.

This way we're changing the dynamic branch from C code to
assembly, which makes it *substantially* smaller while avoiding
a completely unnecessary call to an out of line function.

Borislav Petkov bc696ca05f x86/cpufeature: Replace the old static_cpu_has() with safe variant
So the old one didn't work properly before alternatives had run.
And it was supposed to provide an optimized JMP because the
assumption was that the offset it is jumping to is within a
signed byte and thus a two-byte JMP.

So I did an x86_64 allyesconfig build and dumped all possible
sites where static_cpu_has() was used. The optimization amounted
to all in all 12(!) places where static_cpu_has() had generated
a 2-byte JMP. Which has saved us a whopping 36 bytes!

This clearly is not worth the trouble so we can remove it. The
only place where the optimization might count - in __switch_to()
- we will handle differently. But that's not subject of this
patch.

Borislav Petkov 31ac34ca56 x86/cpu: Fix MSR value truncation issue
So sparse rightfully complains that the u64 MSR value we're
writing into the STAR MSR, i.e. 0xc0000081, is being truncated:

./arch/x86/include/asm/msr.h:193:36: warning: cast truncates
bits from constant value (23001000000000 becomes 0)

because the actual value doesn't fit into the unsigned 32-bit
quantity which are the @low and @high wrmsrl() parameters.

This is not a problem, practically, because gcc is actually
being smart enough here and does the right thing:

  .loc 3 87 0
  xorl    %esi, %esi		# we needz a 32-bit zero
  movl    $2293776, %edx	# 0x00230010 == (__USER32_CS << 16) | __KERNEL_CS go into the high bits
  movl    $-1073741695, %ecx	# MSR_STAR, i.e., 0xc0000081
  movl    %esi, %eax		# low order 32 bits in the MSR which are 0
  #APP
  # 87 "./arch/x86/include/asm/msr.h" 1
          wrmsr

More specifically, MSR_STAR[31:0] is being set to 0. That field
is reserved on Intel and on AMD it is 32-bit SYSCALL Target EIP.

I'd strongly guess because Intel doesn't have SYSCALL in
compat/legacy mode and we're using SYSENTER and INT80 there. And
for compat syscalls in long mode we use CSTAR.

So let's fix the sparse warning by writing SYSRET and SYSCALL CS
and SS into the high 32-bit half of STAR and 0 in the low half
explicitly.

 [ Actually, if we had to be precise, we would have to read what's in
   STAR[31:0] and write it back unchanged on Intel and write 0 on AMD. I
   guess the current writing to 0 is still ok since Intel can apparently
   stomach it. ]

The resulting code is identical to what we have above:

  .loc 3 87 0
  xorl    %esi, %esi      # tmp104
  movl    $2293776, %eax  #, tmp103
  movl    $-1073741695, %ecx      #, tmp102
  movl    %esi, %edx      # tmp104, tmp104

  ...

        wrmsr

Andrew Cooper 581b7f158f x86/cpu: Fix SMAP check in PVOPS environments
There appears to be no formal statement of what pv_irq_ops.save_fl() is
supposed to return precisely.  Native returns the full flags, while lguest and
Xen only return the Interrupt Flag, and both have comments by the
implementations stating that only the Interrupt Flag is looked at.  This may
have been true when initially implemented, but no longer is.

To make matters worse, the Xen PVOP leaves the upper bits undefined, making
the BUG_ON() undefined behaviour.  Experimentally, this now trips for 32bit PV
guests on Broadwell hardware.  The BUG_ON() is consistent for an individual
build, but not consistent for all builds.  It has also been a sitting timebomb
since SMAP support was introduced.

Use native_save_fl() instead, which will obtain an accurate view of the AC
flag.

Borislav Petkov 7c5b190e11 x86/cpu: Print family/model/stepping in hex
924e101a7a ("x86/debug: Dump family, model, stepping of the
boot CPU") had its good intentions to dump the exact F/M/S as an
aid during debugging sessions but its output can be ambiguous.
Fix that:

-smpboot: CPU0: Intel Core Processor (Broadwell) (fam: 06, model: 47, stepping: 02)
+smpboot: CPU0: Intel Core Processor (Broadwell) (family: 0x6, model: 0x47, stepping: 0x2)

Also, spell out "family".

Andy Lutomirski 47edb65178 x86/asm/msr: Make wrmsrl() a function
As of cf991de2f6 ("x86/asm/msr: Make wrmsrl_safe() a
function"), wrmsrl_safe is a function, but wrmsrl is still a
macro.  The wrmsrl macro performs invalid shifts if the value
argument is 32 bits. This makes it unnecessarily awkward to
write code that puts an unsigned long into an MSR.

To make this work, syscall_init needs tweaking to stop passing
a function pointer to wrmsrl.

Andy Lutomirski 37868fe113 x86/ldt: Make modify_ldt synchronous
modify_ldt() has questionable locking and does not synchronize
threads.  Improve it: redesign the locking and synchronize all
threads' LDTs using an IPI on all modifications.

This will dramatically slow down modify_ldt in multithreaded
programs, but there shouldn't be any multithreaded programs that
care about modify_ldt's performance in the first place.

This fixes some fallout from the CVE-2015-5157 fixes.

Resulting in inconsistent energy policy settings across CPUs.

This register is set via init_intel() at bootup. During resume,
the secondary CPUs are brought online again and init_intel() is
callled which re-initializes the register. The boot CPU however
never reinitializes the register.

Add a syscore callback to reinitialize the register for the boot CPU.

Ingo Molnar db52ef74b3 x86/fpu: Fix FPU related boot regression when CPUID masking BIOS feature is enabled
Mike Galbraith reported:

  " My i7-4790 box is having one hell of a time with this merge
    window, dead in the water.

    BIOS setting "Limit CPUID Maximum" upsets new fpu code
    mightily. "

It turns out that Linux does a double workaround here, as per:

  066941bd4e ("x86: unmask CPUID levels on Intel CPUs")

it undoes the BIOS workaround - but as a side effect the CPUID
state is not completely constant during early init anymore,
and the new FPU init code did not take this into account.

So what happened is that the xstate init code did not have full
CPUID available, which broke subsequent attempts to use xstate
features.

Fix this by ordering the early FPU init code to after we've
stabilized the CPUID state.

Linus Torvalds d70b3ef54c Merge branch 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
  in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
  so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
  collected into the 'x86/core' topic.

  The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
  bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
  but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
  dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
  end.

  The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
  have fewer dependencies).

  The main changes in this cycle were:

   * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
     Gleixner)

     - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
       interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
       domains:

          [IOAPIC domain]   -----
                                 |
          [MSI domain]      --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
                                 |   (optional)          |
          [HPET MSI domain] -----                        |
                                                         |
          [DMAR domain]     -----------------------------
                                                         |
          [Legacy domain]   -----------------------------

       This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
       the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
       can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping.  It's a clear
       separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
       constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
       and the vector management.

     - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
       injection into guests (Feng Wu)

   * x86/asm changes:

     - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations.  This
       is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
       code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
       Brian Gerst)

     - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
       arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)

     - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
       Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
       they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
       not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)

     - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/mm changes:

     - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
       preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
       in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
       Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)

     - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
       Write-Through cached memory mappings.  This is especially
       important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)

   * x86/ras changes:

     - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)

       This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
       poisoned data.  That means roughly that the hardware marks data
       which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
       poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
       form of a deferred error.  It is the OS's responsibility then to
       take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
       far as possible.

     - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
       CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
       wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)

     - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/platform changes:

     - Intel Atom SoC updates

  ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
  shortlog and the Git log for details"

Pull x86 FPU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree contains two main changes:

   - The big FPU code rewrite: wide reaching cleanups and reorganization
     that pulls all the FPU code together into a clean base in
     arch/x86/fpu/.

     The resulting code is leaner and faster, and much easier to
     understand.  This enables future work to further simplify the FPU
     code (such as removing lazy FPU restores).

     By its nature these changes have a substantial regression risk: FPU
     code related bugs are long lived, because races are often subtle
     and bugs mask as user-space failures that are difficult to track
     back to kernel side backs.  I'm aware of no unfixed (or even
     suspected) FPU related regression so far.

   - MPX support rework/fixes.  As this is still not a released CPU

Dave Hansen 8c3641e957 x86/mpx: Introduce a boot-time disable flag
MPX has the _potential_ to cause some issues.  Say part of your
init system tried to protect one of its components from buffer
overflows with MPX.  If there were a false positive, it's
possible that MPX could keep a system from booting.

MPX could also potentially cause performance issues since it is
present in hot paths like the unmap path.

Allow it to be disabled at boot time.

Ingo Molnar b2502b418e x86/asm/entry: Untangle 'system_call' into two entry points: entry_SYSCALL_64 and entry_INT80_32
The 'system_call' entry points differ starkly between native 32-bit and 64-bit
kernels: on 32-bit kernels it defines the INT 0x80 entry point, while on
64-bit it's the SYSCALL entry point.

This is pretty confusing when looking at generic code, and it also obscures
the nature of the entry point at the assembly level.

So unangle this by splitting the name into its two uses:

	system_call (32) -> entry_INT80_32
	system_call (64) -> entry_SYSCALL_64

As per the generic naming scheme for x86 system call entry points:

	entry_MNEMONIC_qualifier

where 'qualifier' is one of _32, _64 or _compat.

In talking to Aravind recently about making certain AMD topology
attributes available to the MCE injection module, it seemed like
that CONFIG_X86_HT thing is more or less superfluous. It is
def_bool y, depends on SMP and gets enabled in the majority of
.configs - distro and otherwise - out there.

So let's kill it and make code behind it depend directly on SMP.

However, there were issues with overlapping buffers, string
sizes and non-byte-sized copies in the previous proposed
solutions; see Link tags below for the whole farce.

So, instead of diddling with this more, let's simply extend what
was there originally with trimming any present trailing
whitespace. Final result is really simple and obvious.

Testing with the most insane model IDs qemu can generate, looks
good:

  .model_id = "            My funny model ID CPU          ",
  ______4_model_name      :_My_funny_model_ID_CPU

  .model_id = "My funny model ID CPU          ",
  ______4_model_name      :_My_funny_model_ID_CPU

  .model_id = "            My funny model ID CPU",
  ______4_model_name      :_My_funny_model_ID_CPU

  .model_id = "            ",
  ______4_model_name      :__

  .model_id = "",
  ______4_model_name      :_15/02

Prarit Bhargava adafb98da6 x86/cpu: Strip any /proc/cpuinfo model name field whitespace
When comparing the 'model name' field of each core in
/proc/cpuinfo it was noticed that there is a whitespace
difference between the cores' model names.

After some quick investigation it was noticed that the model
name fields were actually different -- processor 0's model name
field had trailing whitespace removed, while the other
processors did not.

Another way of seeing this behaviour is to convert spaces into
underscores in the output of /proc/cpuinfo,

  [thetango@prarit ~]# grep "^model name" /proc/cpuinfo | uniq -c | sed 's/\ /_/g'
  ______1_model_name      :_AMD_Opteron(TM)_Processor_6272
  _____63_model_name      :_AMD_Opteron(TM)_Processor_6272_________________

which shows the discrepancy.

This occurs because the kernel calls strim() on cpu 0's
x86_model_id field to output a pretty message to the console in
print_cpu_info(), and as a result strips the whitespace at the
end of the ->x86_model_id field.

But, the ->x86_model_id field should be the same for the all
identical CPUs in the box. Thus, we need to remove both leading
and trailing whitespace.

As a result, the print_cpu_info() output looks like

  smpboot: CPU0: AMD Opteron(TM) Processor 6272 (fam: 15, model: 01, stepping: 02)

and the x86_model_id field is correct on all processors on AMD
platforms:

  _____64_model_name      :_AMD_Opteron(TM)_Processor_6272

Output is still correct on an Intel box:

  ____144_model_name      :_Intel(R)_Xeon(R)_CPU_E7-8890_v3_@_2.50GHz

clear, and to move it to the fpu__*() namespace.

Linus Torvalds 6c8a53c9e6 Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Core kernel changes:

   - One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability
     to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed
     by the kernel) to kprobes.

     This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image
     that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
     (Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
     allow unprivileged use as well.)

     (Alexei Starovoitov)

   - Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
     allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
     sources for event timestamps traced via perf.

     This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
     events with external events that were measured with different
     clocks:

       - cluster wide profiling

       - for system wide tracing with user-space events,

       - JIT profiling events

     etc.  Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
     the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al.

     (Peter Zijlstra)

  Hardware enablement kernel changes:

   - x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
     on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.

     The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
     ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
     to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
     necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.

     This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
     A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
     driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
     More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
     will probably be ready by 4.2.

     (Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra)

   - x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
     feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
     allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.

     These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
     driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events.  (The
     partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
     as a cgroup extension.)

     (Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P
     Waskiewicz Jr)

   - x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
     feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
     tooling support.  To activate this feature you have to enable it
     via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:

        perf record --call-graph lbr
        perf report

     or:

        perf top --call-graph lbr

     This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf
     based unwinding, but has some limitations:

       - It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
         branch record can not be enabled at the same time.

       - It is only available for user-space callchains.

     (Yan, Zheng)

   - x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and
     event table fixes for earlier models.

     (Andi Kleen)

   - x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds.  This is a complex
     CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter
     value corruption.  The mitigation code is automatically enabled and
     is transparent.

     (Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian)

  The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so
  I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to
  the tooling changes outlined above:

  User visible changes affecting all tools:

      - Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa)
      - Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      - Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song)
      - Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa)
      - Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)
      - Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  User visible changes in individual tools:

    'perf data':

        New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially
        for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa,
        Sebastian Siewior)

    'perf diff':

        Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern)

    'perf list':

        Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song)

        Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song)

    'perf kmem':

        Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa)

        Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim)

        Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim)

        Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim)

    'perf probe':

        Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu)

        Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu)

        Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu)

    'perf record':

        Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra)

        Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen)

    'perf sched':

        Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song)

    'perf report' and 'perf top':

        Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the
        TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern)

        Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one
        cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT
        events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

    'perf stat':

        Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose)

        Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen)

    'perf trace':

        Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
        be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
        place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
        (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  There's also been a ton of infrastructure work done, such as the
  split-out of perf's build system into tools/build/ and other changes -

Andy Lutomirski cf9328cc99 x86/asm/entry/32: Stop caching MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP in tss.sp1
We write a stack pointer to MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP exactly once,
and we unnecessarily cache the value in tss.sp1.  We never
read the cached value.

Remove all of the caching.  It serves no purpose.

Denys Vlasenko 487d1edb9a x86/asm/entry/64: Fix comment about SYSENTER MSRs
The comment is ancient, it dates to the time when only AMD's
x86_64 implementation existed. AMD wasn't (and still isn't)
supporting SYSENTER, so these writes were "just in case" back
then.

This has changed: Intel's x86_64 appeared, and Intel does
support SYSENTER in long mode. "Some future 64-bit CPU" is here
already.

The code may appear "buggy" for AMD as it stands, since
MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_EIP is only 32-bit for AMD CPUs. Writing a
kernel function's address to it would drop high bits. Subsequent
use of this MSR for branch via SYSENTER seem to allow user to
transition to CPL0 while executing his code. Scary, eh?

Explain why that is not a bug: because SYSENTER insn would not
work on AMD CPU.
