The Intel SDM states that bit 13 of Icelake's MSR_OFFCORE_RSP_x
register is valid, and used for counting hardware generated prefetches
of L3 cache. Update the bitmask to allow bit 13.

X86_HYPER_NATIVE isn't accurate for checking if running on native platform,
e.g. CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST isn't set or "nopv" is enabled.
Checking the CPU feature bit X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR to determine if it's
running on native platform is more accurate.
This still doesn't cover the platforms on which X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR is
unsupported, e.g. VMware, but there is nothing which can be done about this
scenario.

Rui reported that on a Pentium D machine which has HPET forced enabled
because it is not advertised by ACPI, the early counter is counting check
leads to a silent boot hang.
The reason is that the ordering of checking the counter first and then
reconfiguring the HPET fails to work on that machine. As the HPET is not
advertised and presumably not initialized by the BIOS the early enable and
the following reconfiguration seems to bring it into a broken state. Adding
clocksource=jiffies to the command line results in the following
clocksource watchdog warning:
clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU1:
Marking clocksource 'tsc-early' as unstable because the skew is too large:
clocksource: 'hpet' wd_now: 33 wd_last: 33 mask: ffffffff
That clearly shows that the HPET is not counting after it got reconfigured
and reenabled. If the counter is not working then the HPET timer is not
expiring either, which explains the boot hang.
Move the counter is counting check after the full configuration again to
unbreak these systems.

UAPI headers licensed under GPL are supposed to have exception
"WITH Linux-syscall-note" so that they can be included into non-GPL
user space application code.
The exception note is missing in some UAPI headers.
Some of them slipped in by the treewide conversion commit b24413180f56
("License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with
no license"). Just run:
$ git show --oneline b24413180f56 -- arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/
I believe they are not intentional, and should be fixed too.
This patch was generated by the following script:
git grep -l --not -e Linux-syscall-note --and -e SPDX-License-Identifier \
-- :arch/*/include/uapi/asm/*.h :include/uapi/ :^*/Kbuild |
while read file
do
sed -i -e '/[[:space:]]OR[[:space:]]/s/\(GPL-[^[:space:]]*\)/(\1 WITH Linux-syscall-note)/g' \
-e '/[[:space:]]or[[:space:]]/s/\(GPL-[^[:space:]]*\)/(\1 WITH Linux-syscall-note)/g' \
-e '/[[:space:]]OR[[:space:]]/!{/[[:space:]]or[[:space:]]/!s/\(GPL-[^[:space:]]*\)/\1 WITH Linux-syscall-note/g}' $file
done
After this patch is applied, there are 5 UAPI headers that do not contain
"WITH Linux-syscall-note". They are kept untouched since this exception
applies only to GPL variants.

load_mm_cr4() is always called with interrupts disabled from:
- switch_mm_irqs_off()
- refresh_pce(), which is a on_each_cpu() callback
Thus, disabling interrupts in cr4_set/clear_bits() is redundant.
Implement cr4_set/clear_bits_irqsoff() helpers, rename load_mm_cr4() to
load_mm_cr4_irqsoff() and use the new helpers. The new helpers do not need
a lockdep assert as __cr4_set() has one already.
The renaming in combination with the checks in __cr4_set() ensure that any
changes in the boundary conditions at the call sites will be detected.

Commit 11752adb (locking/pvqspinlock: Implement hybrid PV queued/unfair locks)
introduces hybrid PV queued/unfair locks
- queued mode (no starvation)
- unfair mode (good performance on not heavily contended lock)
The lock waiter goes into the unfair mode especially in VMs with over-commit
vCPUs since increaing over-commitment increase the likehood that the queue
head vCPU may have been preempted and not actively spinning.
However, reschedule queue head vCPU timely to acquire the lock still can get
better performance than just depending on lock stealing in over-subscribe
scenario.
Testing on 80 HT 2 socket Xeon Skylake server, with 80 vCPUs VM 80GB RAM:
ebizzy -M
vanilla boosting improved
1VM 23520 25040 6%
2VM 8000 13600 70%
3VM 3100 5400 74%
The lock holder vCPU yields to the queue head vCPU when unlock, to boost queue
head vCPU which is involuntary preemption or the one which is voluntary halt
due to fail to acquire the lock after a short spin in the guest.

Commit a0d14b8909de ("x86/mm, tracing: Fix CR2 corruption") added the

common_exception_read_cr2 in the same fashion as common_exception, and uses

The idea before commit 240c35a37 (which has just been reverted)
was that we have the following FPU states:
userspace (QEMU) guest
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
processor vcpu->arch.guest_fpu
>>> KVM_RUN: kvm_load_guest_fpu
vcpu->arch.user_fpu processor
>>> preempt out
vcpu->arch.user_fpu current->thread.fpu
>>> preempt in
vcpu->arch.user_fpu processor
>>> back to userspace
>>> kvm_put_guest_fpu
processor vcpu->arch.guest_fpu
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the new lazy model we want to get the state back to the processor
when schedule in from current->thread.fpu.

AMD and Intel both have serializing lfence (X86_FEATURE_LFENCE_RDTSC).
They've both had it for a long time, and AMD has had it enabled in Linux
since Spectre v1 was announced.
Back then, there was a proposal to remove the serializing mfence feature
bit (X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC), since both AMD and Intel have
serializing lfence. At the time, it was (ahem) speculated that some
hypervisors might not yet support its removal, so it remained for the
time being.
Now a year-and-a-half later, it should be safe to remove.
I asked Andrew Cooper about whether it's still needed:
So if you're virtualised, you've got no choice in the matter. lfence
is either dispatch-serialising or not on AMD, and you won't be able to
change it.
Furthermore, you can't accurately tell what state the bit is in, because
the MSR might not be virtualised at all, or may not reflect the true
state in hardware. Worse still, attempting to set the bit may not be
successful even if there isn't a fault for doing so.
Xen sets the DE_CFG bit unconditionally, as does Linux by the looks of
things (see MSR_F10H_DECFG_LFENCE_SERIALIZE_BIT). ISTR other hypervisor
vendors saying the same, but I don't have any information to hand.
If you are running under a hypervisor which has been updated, then
lfence will almost certainly be dispatch-serialising in practice, and
you'll almost certainly see the bit already set in DE_CFG. If you're
running under a hypervisor which hasn't been patched since Spectre,
you've already lost in many more ways.
I'd argue that X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC is not worth keeping.
So remove it. This will reduce some code rot, and also make it easier
to hook barrier_nospec() up to a cmdline disable for performance
raisins, without having to need an alternative_3() macro.

Introduce two new functions, hv_alloc_hyperv_page() and
hv_free_hyperv_page(), to allocate/deallocate memory with the size and
alignment that Hyper-V expects as a page. Although currently they are not
used, they are ready to be used to allocate/deallocate memory on x86 when
their ARM64 counterparts are implemented, keeping symmetry between
architectures with potentially different guest page sizes.

Some Lenovo 2-in-1s with a detachable keyboard have a portrait screen but
advertise a landscape resolution and pitch, resulting in a messed up
display if the kernel tries to show anything on the efifb (because of the
wrong pitch).
Fix this by adding a new DMI match table for devices which need to have
their width and height swapped.
At first it was tried to use the existing table for overriding some of the
efifb parameters, but some of the affected devices have variants with
different LCD resolutions which will not work with hardcoded override
values.

For unfortunate historical reasons, the x32 syscalls and the x86_64
syscalls are not all numbered the same. As an example, ioctl() is nr 16 on
x86_64 but 514 on x32.
This has potentially nasty consequences, since it means that there are two
valid RAX values to do ioctl(2) and two invalid RAX values. The valid
values are 16 (i.e. ioctl(2) using the x86_64 ABI) and (514 | 0x40000000)
(i.e. ioctl(2) using the x32 ABI).
The invalid values are 514 and (16 | 0x40000000). 514 will enter the
"COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE3(ioctl, ...)" entry point with in_compat_syscall()
and in_x32_syscall() returning false, whereas (16 | 0x40000000) will enter
the native entry point with in_compat_syscall() and in_x32_syscall()
returning true. Both are bogus, and both will exercise code paths in the
kernel and in any running seccomp filters that really ought to be

Splitting out the x32 syscalls into their own tables, allows both bogus
invocations to return -ENOSYS. I've checked glibc, musl, and Bionic, and
all of them appear to call syscalls with their correct numbers, so this
change should have no effect on them.
There is an added benefit going forward: new syscalls that need special
handling on x32 can share the same number on x32 and x86_64. This means
that the special syscall range 512-547 can be treated as a legacy wart
instead of something that may need to be extended in the future.
Also add a selftest to verify the new behavior.

A "compat" entry in the syscall tables means to use a different entry on
32-bit and 64-bit builds.
This only makes sense for syscalls that exist in the first place in 32-bit
builds, so disallow it for anything other than i386.

I'm working on some code that detects at build time if there's a
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE() that is not referenced in the x86 syscall tables.
It catches three offenders: rt_sigsuspend(), rt_sigprocmask(), and
sendfile64().
For rt_sigsuspend() and rt_sigprocmask(), the only potential difference
between the native and compat versions is that the compat version converts
the sigset_t, but, on little endian architectures, the conversion is a
no-op. This is why they both currently work on x86.
To make the code more consistent, and to make the upcoming patches work,
rewire x86 to use the compat vesions.
sendfile64() is more complicated, and will be addressed separately.

Currently, it's an int. This is bizarre. Fortunately, the code using it
still works: ~__X32_SYSCALL_BIT is also int, so, if nr is unsigned long,
then C kindly sign-extends the ~__X32_SYSCALL_BIT part, and it actually
results in the desired value.
This is far more subtle than it deserves to be. Syscall numbers are, for
all practical purposes, unsigned long, so make __X32_SYSCALL_BIT be
unsigned long.

With huge-page ioremap areas the unmappings also need to be synced between
all page-tables. Otherwise it can cause data corruption when a region is
unmapped and later re-used.
Make the vmalloc_sync_one() function ready to sync unmappings and make sure
vmalloc_sync_all() iterates over all page-tables even when an unmapped PMD

There is a lot of infrastructure for functionality which is used
exclusively in __{save,restore}_processor_state() on the suspend/resume
path.
cr8 is an alias of APIC_TASKPRI, and APIC_TASKPRI is saved/restored by
lapic_{suspend,resume}(). Saving and restoring cr8 independently of the
rest of the Local APIC state isn't a clever thing to be doing.
Delete the suspend/resume cr8 handling, which shrinks the size of struct
saved_context, and allows for the removal of both PVOPS.

The APIC, per spec, is fundamentally confused and thinks that interrupt
vectors 16-31 are valid. This makes no sense -- the CPU reserves vectors
0-31 for exceptions (faults, traps, etc). Obviously, no device should
actually produce an interrupt with vector 16-31, but robustness can be
improved by setting the APIC TPR class to 1, which will prevent delivery of
an interrupt with a vector below 32.
Note: This is *not* intended as a security measure against attackers who
control malicious hardware. Any PCI or similar hardware that can be
controlled by an attacker MUST be behind a functional IOMMU that remaps
interrupts. The purpose of this change is to reduce the chance that a
certain class of device malfunctions crashes the kernel in hard-to-debug
ways.

The recent fix for CR2 corruption introduced a new way to reliably corrupt
the saved CR2 value.
CR2 is saved early in the entry code in RDX, which is the third argument to
the fault handling functions. But it missed that between saving and
invoking the fault handler enter_from_user_mode() can be called. RDX is a
caller saved register so the invoked function can freely clobber it with
the obvious consequences.
The TRACE_IRQS_OFF call is safe as it calls through the thunk which
preserves RDX, but TRACE_IRQS_OFF_DEBUG is not because it also calls into
C-code outside of the thunk.
Store CR2 in R12 instead which is a callee saved register and move R12 to
RDX just before calling the fault handler.

When CPU raise #NPF on guest data access and guest CR4.SMAP=1, it is
possible that CPU microcode implementing DecodeAssist will fail
to read bytes of instruction which caused #NPF. This is AMD errata
1096 and it happens because CPU microcode reading instruction bytes
incorrectly attempts to read code as implicit supervisor-mode data
accesses (that is, just like it would read e.g. a TSS), which are
susceptible to SMAP faults. The microcode reads CS:RIP and if it is
a user-mode address according to the page tables, the processor
gives up and returns no instruction bytes. In this case,
GuestIntrBytes field of the VMCB on a VMEXIT will incorrectly
return 0 instead of the correct guest instruction bytes.
Current KVM code attemps to detect and workaround this errata, but it
has multiple issues:
1) It mistakenly checks if guest CR4.SMAP=0 instead of guest CR4.SMAP=1,
which is required for encountering a SMAP fault.
2) It assumes SMAP faults can only occur when guest CPL==3.
However, in case guest CR4.SMEP=0, the guest can execute an instruction
which reside in a user-accessible page with CPL<3 priviledge. If this
instruction raise a #NPF on it's data access, then CPU DecodeAssist
microcode will still encounter a SMAP violation. Even though no sane
OS will do so (as it's an obvious priviledge escalation vulnerability),
we still need to handle this semanticly correct in KVM side.
Note that (2) *is* a useful optimization, because CR4.SMAP=1 is an easy
triggerable condition and guests usually enable SMAP together with SMEP.
If the vCPU has CR4.SMEP=1, the errata could indeed be encountered onlt
at guest CPL==3; otherwise, the CPU would raise a SMEP fault to guest
instead of #NPF. We keep this condition to avoid false positives in
the detection of the errata.
In addition, to avoid future confusion and improve code readbility,
include details of the errata in code and not just in commit message.

Dedicated instances are currently disturbed by unnecessary jitter due
to the emulated lapic timers firing on the same pCPUs where the
vCPUs reside. There is no hardware virtual timer on Intel for guest
like ARM, so both programming timer in guest and the emulated timer fires
incur vmexits. This patch tries to avoid vmexit when the emulated timer
fires, at least in dedicated instance scenario when nohz_full is enabled.
In that case, the emulated timers can be offload to the nearest busy
housekeeping cpus since APICv has been found for several years in server
processors. The guest timer interrupt can then be injected via posted interrupts,
which are delivered by the housekeeping cpu once the emulated timer fires.
The host should tuned so that vCPUs are placed on isolated physical
processors, and with several pCPUs surplus for busy housekeeping.
If disabled mwait/hlt/pause vmexits keep the vCPUs in non-root mode,
~3% redis performance benefit can be observed on Skylake server, and the
number of external interrupt vmexits drops substantially. Without patch
