The main CPUID header <asm/cpuid.h> was originally a storefront for the
headers:
<asm/cpuid/api.h>
<asm/cpuid/leaf_0x2_api.h>
Now that the latter CPUID(0x2) header has been merged into the former,
there is no practical difference between <asm/cpuid.h> and
<asm/cpuid/api.h>.
Migrate all users to the <asm/cpuid/api.h> header, in preparation of
the removal of <asm/cpuid.h>.
Don't remove <asm/cpuid.h> just yet, in case some new code in -next
started using it.

CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y crash
Borislav Petkov reported the following boot crash on x86-32,
with CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y:
| usercopy: Kernel memory overwrite attempt detected to SLUB object 'task_struct' (offset 2112, size 160)!
| ...
| kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:102!
So the useroffset and usersize arguments are what control the allowed
window of copying in/out of the "task_struct" kmem cache:
/* create a slab on which task_structs can be allocated */
task_struct_whitelist(&useroffset, &usersize);
task_struct_cachep = kmem_cache_create_usercopy("task_struct",
arch_task_struct_size, align,
SLAB_PANIC|SLAB_ACCOUNT,
useroffset, usersize, NULL);
task_struct_whitelist() positions this window based on the location of
the thread_struct within task_struct, and gets the arch-specific details
via arch_thread_struct_whitelist(offset, size):
static void __init task_struct_whitelist(unsigned long *offset, unsigned long *size)
{
/* Fetch thread_struct whitelist for the architecture. */
arch_thread_struct_whitelist(offset, size);
/*
* Handle zero-sized whitelist or empty thread_struct, otherwise
* adjust offset to position of thread_struct in task_struct.
*/
if (unlikely(*size == 0))
*offset = 0;
else
*offset += offsetof(struct task_struct, thread);
}
Commit cb7ca40a3882 ("x86/fpu: Make task_struct::thread constant size")
removed the logic for the window, leaving:
static inline void
arch_thread_struct_whitelist(unsigned long *offset, unsigned long *size)
{
*offset = 0;
*size = 0;
}
So now there is no window that usercopy hardening will allow to be copied
in/out of task_struct.
But as reported above, there *is* a copy in copy_uabi_to_xstate(). (It
seems there are several, actually.)
int copy_sigframe_from_user_to_xstate(struct task_struct *tsk,
const void __user *ubuf)
{
return copy_uabi_to_xstate(x86_task_fpu(tsk)->fpstate, NULL, ubuf, &tsk->thread.pkru);
}
This appears to be writing into x86_task_fpu(tsk)->fpstate. With or
without CONFIG_X86_DEBUG_FPU, this resolves to:
((struct fpu *)((void *)(task) + sizeof(*(task))))
i.e. the memory "after task_struct" is cast to "struct fpu", and the
uses the "fpstate" pointer. How that pointer gets set looks to be
variable, but I think the one we care about here is:
fpu->fpstate = &fpu->__fpstate;
And struct fpu::__fpstate says:
struct fpstate __fpstate;
/*
* WARNING: '__fpstate' is dynamically-sized. Do not put
* anything after it here.
*/
So we're still dealing with a dynamically sized thing, even if it's not
within the literal struct task_struct -- it's still in the kmem cache,
though.
Looking at the kmem cache size, it has allocated "arch_task_struct_size"
bytes, which is calculated in fpu__init_task_struct_size():
int task_size = sizeof(struct task_struct);
task_size += sizeof(struct fpu);
/*
* Subtract off the static size of the register state.
* It potentially has a bunch of padding.
*/
task_size -= sizeof(union fpregs_state);
/*
* Add back the dynamically-calculated register state
* size.
*/
task_size += fpu_kernel_cfg.default_size;
/*
* We dynamically size 'struct fpu', so we require that
* 'state' be at the end of 'it:
*/
CHECK_MEMBER_AT_END_OF(struct fpu, __fpstate);
arch_task_struct_size = task_size;
So, this is still copying out of the kmem cache for task_struct, and the
window seems unchanged (still fpu regs). This is what the window was
before:
void fpu_thread_struct_whitelist(unsigned long *offset, unsigned long *size)
{
*offset = offsetof(struct thread_struct, fpu.__fpstate.regs);
*size = fpu_kernel_cfg.default_size;
}
And the same commit I mentioned above removed it.
I think the misunderstanding is here:
| The fpu_thread_struct_whitelist() quirk to hardened usercopy can be removed,
| now that the FPU structure is not embedded in the task struct anymore, which
| reduces text footprint a bit.
Yes, FPU is no longer in task_struct, but it IS in the kmem cache named
"task_struct", since the fpstate is still being allocated there.
Partially revert the earlier mentioned commit, along with a
recalculation of the fpstate regs location.

PF_KTHREAD tasks
init_task's FPU state initialization was a bit of a hack:
__x86_init_fpu_begin = .;
. = __x86_init_fpu_begin + 128*PAGE_SIZE;
__x86_init_fpu_end = .;
But the init task isn't supposed to be using the FPU context
in any case, so remove the hack and add in some debug warnings.
As Linus noted in the discussion, the init task (and other
PF_KTHREAD tasks) *can* use the FPU via kernel_fpu_begin()/_end(),
but they don't need the context area because their FPU use is not
preemptible or reentrant, and they don't return to user-space.

As suggested by Oleg, remove the thread::fpu pointer, as we can
calculate it via x86_task_fpu() at compile-time.
This improves code generation a bit:

Turn thread.fpu into a pointer. Since most FPU code internals work by passing
around the FPU pointer already, the code generation impact is small.
This allows us to remove the old kludge of task_struct being variable size:
struct task_struct {
...
/*
* New fields for task_struct should be added above here, so that
* they are included in the randomized portion of task_struct.
*/
randomized_struct_fields_end
/* CPU-specific state of this task: */
struct thread_struct thread;
/*
* WARNING: on x86, 'thread_struct' contains a variable-sized
* structure. It *MUST* be at the end of 'task_struct'.
*
* Do not put anything below here!
*/
};
... which creates a number of problems, such as requiring thread_struct to be
the last member of the struct - not allowing it to be struct-randomized, etc.
But the primary motivation is to allow the decoupling of task_struct from
hardware details (<asm/processor.h> in particular), and to eventually allow
the per-task infrastructure:
DECLARE_PER_TASK(type, name);
...
per_task(current, name) = val;
... which requires task_struct to be a constant size struct.
The fpu_thread_struct_whitelist() quirk to hardened usercopy can be removed,
now that the FPU structure is not embedded in the task struct anymore, which
reduces text footprint a bit.

The per-task FPU context/save area is allocated right
next to task_struct, currently in a variable-size
array via task_struct::thread.fpu[], but we plan to
fully hide it from the C type scope.
Introduce the x86_task_fpu() accessor that gets to the
FPU context pointer explicitly from the task pointer.
Right now this is a simple (task)->thread.fpu wrapper.

The percpu section is currently linked at absolute address 0, because
older compilers hard-coded the stack protector canary value at a fixed
offset from the start of the GS segment. Now that the canary is a
normal percpu variable, the percpu section does not need to be linked
at a specific address.
x86-64 will now calculate the percpu offsets as the delta between the
initial percpu address and the dynamically allocated memory, like other
architectures. Note that GSBASE is limited to the canonical address
width (48 or 57 bits, sign-extended). As long as the kernel text,
modules, and the dynamically allocated percpu memory are all in the
negative address space, the delta will not overflow this limit.

Older versions of GCC fixed the location of the stack protector canary
at %gs:40. This constraint forced the percpu section to be linked at
absolute address 0 so that the canary could be the first data object in
the percpu section. Supporting the zero-based percpu section requires
additional code to handle relocations for RIP-relative references to
percpu data, extra complexity to kallsyms, and workarounds for linker
bugs due to the use of absolute symbols.
GCC 8.1 supports redefining where the canary is located, allowing it to
become a normal percpu variable instead of at a fixed location. This
removes the constraint that the percpu section must be zero-based.

On x86, topology_core_id() returns a unique core ID within the PKG

unique within a LLC domain. For use cases such as the core RAPL PMU,
there exists a need for a unique core ID across the entire system with
multiple PKG domains. Introduce topology_logical_core_id() to derive a
unique core ID across the system.

Sometimes it is required to take actions based on if a CPU is a performance or
efficiency core. As an example, intel_pstate driver uses the Intel core-type
to determine CPU scaling. Also, some CPU vulnerabilities only affect
a specific CPU type, like RFDS only affects Intel Atom. Hybrid systems that
have variants P+E, P-only(Core) and E-only(Atom), it is not straightforward to
identify which variant is affected by a type specific vulnerability.
Such processors do have CPUID field that can uniquely identify them. Like,
P+E, P-only and E-only enumerates CPUID.1A.CORE_TYPE identification, while P+E
additionally enumerates CPUID.7.HYBRID. Based on this information, it is
possible for boot CPU to identify if a system has mixed CPU types.
Add a new field hw_cpu_type to struct cpuinfo_topology that stores the
hardware specific CPU type. This saves the overhead of IPIs to get the CPU
type of a different CPU. CPU type is populated early in the boot process,
before vulnerabilities are enumerated.

Pull x86 FRED updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Enable FRED right after init_mem_mapping() because at that point the
early IDT fault handler is replaced by the real fault handler. The
real fault handler retrieves the faulting address from the stack
frame and not from CR2 when the FRED feature is set. But that
obviously only works when FRED is enabled in the CPU as well.
- Set SS to __KERNEL_DS when enabling FRED to prevent a corner case
where ERETS can observe a SS mismatch and raises a #GP.

The function name is ambiguous because it returns an intermediate value
for calculating maximum frequency rather than the CPPC 'Highest Perf'
register.
Rename the function to clarify its use and allow the function to return
errors. Adjust the consumer in acpi-cpufreq to catch errors.

On 64-bit init_mem_mapping() relies on the minimal page fault handler
provided by the early IDT mechanism. The real page fault handler is
installed right afterwards into the IDT.
This is problematic on CPUs which have X86_FEATURE_FRED set because the
real page fault handler retrieves the faulting address from the FRED
exception stack frame and not from CR2, but that does obviously not work
when FRED is not yet enabled in the CPU.
To prevent this enable FRED right after init_mem_mapping() without
interrupt stacks. Those are enabled later in trap_init() after the CPU
entry area is set up.

The syzbot-reported stack trace from hell in this discussion thread
actually has three nested page faults:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/000000000000d5f4fc0616e816d4@google.com
... and I think that's actually the important thing here:
- the first page fault is from user space, and triggers the vsyscall
emulation.
- the second page fault is from __do_sys_gettimeofday(), and that should
just have caused the exception that then sets the return value to
-EFAULT
- the third nested page fault is due to _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() ->
preempt_schedule() -> trace_sched_switch(), which then causes a BPF
trace program to run, which does that bpf_probe_read_compat(), which
causes that page fault under pagefault_disable().
It's quite the nasty backtrace, and there's a lot going on.
The problem is literally the vsyscall emulation, which sets
current->thread.sig_on_uaccess_err = 1;
and that causes the fixup_exception() code to send the signal *despite* the
exception being caught.
And I think that is in fact completely bogus. It's completely bogus
exactly because it sends that signal even when it *shouldn't* be sent -
like for the BPF user mode trace gathering.
In other words, I think the whole "sig_on_uaccess_err" thing is entirely
broken, because it makes any nested page-faults do all the wrong things.
Now, arguably, I don't think anybody should enable vsyscall emulation any
more, but this test case clearly does.
I think we should just make the "send SIGSEGV" be something that the
vsyscall emulation does on its own, not this broken per-thread state for
something that isn't actually per thread.
The x86 page fault code actually tried to deal with the "incorrect nesting"
by having that:
if (in_interrupt())
return;
which ignores the sig_on_uaccess_err case when it happens in interrupts,
but as shown by this example, these nested page faults do not need to be
about interrupts at all.
IOW, I think the only right thing is to remove that horrendously broken
code.
The attached patch looks like the ObviouslyCorrect(tm) thing to do.
NOTE! This broken code goes back to this commit in 2011:
4fc3490114bb ("x86-64: Set siginfo and context on vsyscall emulation faults")
... and back then the reason was to get all the siginfo details right.
Honestly, I do not for a moment believe that it's worth getting the siginfo
details right here, but part of the commit says:
This fixes issues with UML when vsyscall=emulate.
... and so my patch to remove this garbage will probably break UML in this
situation.
I do not believe that anybody should be running with vsyscall=emulate in
2024 in the first place, much less if you are doing things like UML. But
let's see if somebody screams.

fields are overlaid in a union with a 32-bit field that combines
all three (together with a one byte reserved field in the upper

This will make it easy, cheap, and reliable to check all three
values at once.

The "P" asm operand modifier is a x86 target-specific modifier.
For x86_64, when used with a symbol reference, the "%P" modifier
emits "sym" instead of "sym(%rip)". This property is currently
used to prevent %RIP-relative addressing in .altinstr sections.
%RIP-relative addresses are nowadays correctly handled in .altinstr
sections, so remove %P operand modifier from altinstr asm templates.
Also note that unlike GCC, clang emits %rip-relative symbol
reference with "P" asm operand modifier, so the patch also unifies
symbol handling with both compilers.
No functional changes intended.

Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
- The biggest change is the rework of the percpu code, to support the
'Named Address Spaces' GCC feature, by Uros Bizjak:
- This allows C code to access GS and FS segment relative memory

compiler to better optimize those accesses than the previous
inline assembly code.
- The series also includes a number of micro-optimizations for
various percpu access methods, plus a number of cleanups of %gs
accesses in assembly code.
- These changes have been exposed to linux-next testing for the
last ~5 months, with no known regressions in this area.
- Fix/clean up __switch_to()'s broken but accidentally working handling
of FPU switching - which also generates better code
- Propagate more RIP-relative addressing in assembly code, to generate
slightly better code

Pull x86 FRED support from Thomas Gleixner:
"Support for x86 Fast Return and Event Delivery (FRED).
FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most
of the technical nightmares which IDT exposes:
1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved
in nested exception scenarios.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested
exceptions as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on
each entry which requires a massive effort in the low level entry
of #NMI code to handle this.
3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user
which makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs
to be especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI.
4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which
is a problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a
stack trace.
5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment
6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion
on large systems.
7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources
FRED addresses these shortcomings by:
1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save
exception cause registers. This ensures that the meta information
for each exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra
complexity of preserving it in software.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested
exception uses the currently interrupt stack.
3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS
BASE handling which is required to establish kernel context for
per CPU variable access is done in hardware.
4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the
return from NMI.
5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP
6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design
because it uses a central entry points for kernel and user space
and the CPUstores the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt,
syscall) on the entry stack along with the vector number. The
entry code has to demultiplex this information, but this removes
the vector space restriction.
The first hardware implementations will still have the current
restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires
further changes to the local APIC.
7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which
allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the
required local APIC changes are in place.
The series implements the initial FRED support by:
- Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to
accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism.
- Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED
requires to store context and meta information
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have
information pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB.
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE
- Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to
demultiplex the events
- Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary
tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc.
The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs the existing IDT
implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths
like context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the
impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the
extended stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and
therefore have no impact on IDT based systems.
It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED
simulation and as of now there are no outstanding problems"

As TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING was defined as 0 on x86_64, it went
unnoticed that the initialization of the .sp field in INIT_THREAD and some
calculations in the low level startup code do not take the padding into
account.
FRED enabled kernels require a 16 byte padding, which means that the init
task initialization and the low level startup code use the wrong stack
offset.
Subtract TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING in all affected places to adjust for
this.

On UP builds Sparse complains rightfully about accesses to cpu_info with
per CPU accessors:
cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: expected void const [noderef] __percpu *__vpp_verify
cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: got unsigned int *
The reason is that on UP builds cpu_info which is a per CPU variable on SMP
is mapped to boot_cpu_info which is a regular variable. There is a hideous
accessor cpu_data() which tries to hide this, but it's not sufficient as
some places require raw accessors and generates worse code than the regular
per CPU accessors.
Waste sizeof(struct x86_cpuinfo) memory on UP and provide the per CPU
cpu_info unconditionally. This requires to update the CPU info on the boot
CPU as SMP does. (Ab)use the weakly defined smp_prepare_boot_cpu() function
and implement exactly that.
This allows to use regular per CPU accessors uncoditionally and paves the
way to remove the cpu_data() hackery.

To clean up the per CPU insanity of UP which causes sparse to be rightfully
unhappy and prevents the usage of the generic per CPU accessors on cpu_info
it is necessary to include <linux/percpu.h> into <asm/msr.h>.
Including <linux/percpu.h> into <asm/msr.h> is impossible because it ends
up in header dependency hell. The problem is that <asm/processor.h>
includes <asm/msr.h>. The inclusion of <linux/percpu.h> results in a
compile fail where the compiler cannot longer handle an include in
<asm/cpufeature.h> which references boot_cpu_data which is
defined in <asm/processor.h>.
The only reason why <asm/msr.h> is included in <asm/processor.h> are the
set/get_debugctlmsr() inlines. They are defined there because <asm/processor.h>
is such a nice dump ground for everything. In fact they belong obviously
into <asm/debugreg.h>.
Move them to <asm/debugreg.h> and fix up the resulting damage which is just
exposing the reliance on random include chains.

Switch it over to the new topology evaluation mechanism and remove the
random bits and pieces which are sprinkled all over the place.
No functional change intended.

AMD (ab)uses topology_die_id() to store the Node ID information and
topology_max_dies_per_pkg to store the number of nodes per package.
This collides with the proper processor die level enumeration which is
coming on AMD with CPUID 8000_0026, unless there is a correlation between
the two. There is zero documentation about that.
So provide new storage and new accessors which for now still access die_id
and topology_max_die_per_pkg(). Will be mopped up after AMD and HYGON are
converted over.

Version generation for "const_pcpu_hot" symbol failed because genksyms
doesn't know the __seg_gs keyword. Effectively revert commit 4604c052b84d
("x86/percpu: Declare const_pcpu_hot as extern const variable") and
use this_cpu_read_const() instead to avoid "sparse: dereference of
noderef expression" warning when reading const_pcpu_hot.

AMD does not have the requirement for a synchronization barrier when
acccessing a certain group of MSRs. Do not incur that unnecessary
penalty there.
There will be a CPUID bit which explicitly states that a MFENCE is not
needed. Once that bit is added to the APM, this will be extended with
it.
While at it, move to processor.h to avoid include hell. Untangling that
file properly is a matter for another day.
Some notes on the performance aspect of why this is relevant, courtesy
of Kishon VijayAbraham <Kishon.VijayAbraham@amd.com>:
On a AMD Zen4 system with 96 cores, a modified ipi-bench[1] on a VM
shows x2AVIC IPI rate is 3% to 4% lower than AVIC IPI rate. The
ipi-bench is modified so that the IPIs are sent between two vCPUs in the
same CCX. This also requires to pin the vCPU to a physical core to
prevent any latencies. This simulates the use case of pinning vCPUs to
the thread of a single CCX to avoid interrupt IPI latency.
In order to avoid run-to-run variance (for both x2AVIC and AVIC), the
below configurations are done:
1) Disable Power States in BIOS (to prevent the system from going to
lower power state)
2) Run the system at fixed frequency 2500MHz (to prevent the system
from increasing the frequency when the load is more)
With the above configuration:
*) Performance measured using ipi-bench for AVIC:
Average Latency: 1124.98ns [Time to send IPI from one vCPU to another vCPU]
Cumulative throughput: 42.6759M/s [Total number of IPIs sent in a second from
48 vCPUs simultaneously]
*) Performance measured using ipi-bench for x2AVIC:
Average Latency: 1172.42ns [Time to send IPI from one vCPU to another vCPU]
Cumulative throughput: 40.9432M/s [Total number of IPIs sent in a second from
48 vCPUs simultaneously]
From above, x2AVIC latency is ~4% more than AVIC. However, the expectation is
x2AVIC performance to be better or equivalent to AVIC. Upon analyzing
the perf captures, it is observed significant time is spent in
weak_wrmsr_fence() invoked by x2apic_send_IPI().
With the fix to skip weak_wrmsr_fence()
*) Performance measured using ipi-bench for x2AVIC:
Average Latency: 1117.44ns [Time to send IPI from one vCPU to another vCPU]
Cumulative throughput: 42.9608M/s [Total number of IPIs sent in a second from
48 vCPUs simultaneously]
Comparing the performance of x2AVIC with and without the fix, it can be seen
the performance improves by ~4%.
Performance captured using an unmodified ipi-bench using the 'mesh-ipi' option
with and without weak_wrmsr_fence() on a Zen4 system also showed significant
performance improvement without weak_wrmsr_fence(). The 'mesh-ipi' option ignores
CCX or CCD and just picks random vCPU.
Average throughput (10 iterations) with weak_wrmsr_fence(),
Cumulative throughput: 4933374 IPI/s
Average throughput (10 iterations) without weak_wrmsr_fence(),
Cumulative throughput: 6355156 IPI/s
