Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Boot code changes:
- A large series of changes to reorganize the x86 boot code into a
better isolated and easier to maintain base of PIC early startup
code in arch/x86/boot/startup/, by Ard Biesheuvel.
Motivation & background:
| Since commit
|
| c88d71508e36 ("x86/boot/64: Rewrite startup_64() in C")
|
| dated Jun 6 2017, we have been using C code on the boot path in a way
| that is not supported by the toolchain, i.e., to execute non-PIC C
| code from a mapping of memory that is different from the one provided
| to the linker. It should have been obvious at the time that this was a
| bad idea, given the need to sprinkle fixup_pointer() calls left and
| right to manipulate global variables (including non-pointer variables)
| without crashing.
|
| This C startup code has been expanding, and in particular, the SEV-SNP
| startup code has been expanding over the past couple of years, and
| grown many of these warts, where the C code needs to use special
| annotations or helpers to access global objects.

irq_fpu_usable() incorrectly returned true before the FPU is
initialized. The x86 CPU onlining code can call sha256() to checksum
AMD microcode images, before the FPU is initialized. Since sha256()
recently gained a kernel-mode FPU optimized code path, a crash occurred
in kernel_fpu_begin_mask() during hotplug CPU onlining.
(The crash did not occur during boot-time CPU onlining, since the
optimized sha256() code is not enabled until subsys_initcalls run.)
Fix this by making irq_fpu_usable() return false before fpu__init_cpu()
has run. To do this without adding any additional overhead to
irq_fpu_usable(), replace the existing per-CPU bool in_kernel_fpu with
kernel_fpu_allowed which tracks both initialization and usage rather
than just usage. The initial state is false; FPU initialization sets it
to true; kernel-mode FPU sections toggle it to false and then back to
true; and CPU offlining restores it to the initial state of false.

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.

When granting userspace or a KVM guest access to an xfeature, preserve the
entity's existing supervisor and software-defined permissions as tracked
by __state_perm, i.e. use __state_perm to track *all* permissions even
though all supported supervisor xfeatures are granted to all FPUs and
FPU_GUEST_PERM_LOCKED disallows changing permissions.
Effectively clobbering supervisor permissions results in inconsistent
behavior, as xstate_get_group_perm() will report supervisor features for
process that do NOT request access to dynamic user xfeatures, whereas any
and all supervisor features will be absent from the set of permissions for
any process that is granted access to one or more dynamic xfeatures (which
right now means AMX).
The inconsistency isn't problematic because fpu_xstate_prctl() already
strips out everything except user xfeatures:
case ARCH_GET_XCOMP_PERM:
/*
* Lockless snapshot as it can also change right after the
* dropping the lock.
*/
permitted = xstate_get_host_group_perm();
permitted &= XFEATURE_MASK_USER_SUPPORTED;
return put_user(permitted, uptr);
case ARCH_GET_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM:
permitted = xstate_get_guest_group_perm();
permitted &= XFEATURE_MASK_USER_SUPPORTED;
return put_user(permitted, uptr);
and similarly KVM doesn't apply the __state_perm to supervisor states
(kvm_get_filtered_xcr0() incorporates xstate_get_guest_group_perm()):
case 0xd: {
u64 permitted_xcr0 = kvm_get_filtered_xcr0();
u64 permitted_xss = kvm_caps.supported_xss;
But if KVM in particular were to ever change, dropping supervisor
permissions would result in subtle bugs in KVM's reporting of supported
CPUID settings. And the above behavior also means that having supervisor
xfeatures in __state_perm is correctly handled by all users.
Dropping supervisor permissions also creates another landmine for KVM. If
more dynamic user xfeatures are ever added, requesting access to multiple
xfeatures in separate ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM calls will result in the
second invocation of __xstate_request_perm() computing the wrong ksize, as
as the mask passed to xstate_calculate_size() would not contain *any*
supervisor features.
Commit 781c64bfcb73 ("x86/fpu/xstate: Handle supervisor states in XSTATE
permissions") fudged around the size issue for userspace FPUs, but for
reasons unknown skipped guest FPUs. Lack of a fix for KVM "works" only
because KVM doesn't yet support virtualizing features that have supervisor
xfeatures, i.e. as of today, KVM guest FPUs will never need the relevant
xfeatures.
Simply extending the hack-a-fix for guests would temporarily solve the
ksize issue, but wouldn't address the inconsistency issue and would leave
another lurking pitfall for KVM. KVM support for virtualizing CET will
likely add CET_KERNEL as a guest-only xfeature, i.e. CET_KERNEL will not
be set in xfeatures_mask_supervisor() and would again be dropped when
granting access to dynamic xfeatures.
Note, the existing clobbering behavior is rather subtle. The @permitted
parameter to __xstate_request_perm() comes from:
permitted = xstate_get_group_perm(guest);
which is either fpu->guest_perm.__state_perm or fpu->perm.__state_perm,
where __state_perm is initialized to:
fpu->perm.__state_perm = fpu_kernel_cfg.default_features;
and copied to the guest side of things:
/* Same defaults for guests */
fpu->guest_perm = fpu->perm;
fpu_kernel_cfg.default_features contains everything except the dynamic
xfeatures, i.e. everything except XFEATURE_MASK_XTILE_DATA:
fpu_kernel_cfg.default_features = fpu_kernel_cfg.max_features;
fpu_kernel_cfg.default_features &= ~XFEATURE_MASK_USER_DYNAMIC;
When __xstate_request_perm() restricts the local "mask" variable to
compute the user state size:
mask &= XFEATURE_MASK_USER_SUPPORTED;
usize = xstate_calculate_size(mask, false);
it subtly overwrites the target __state_perm with "mask" containing only
user xfeatures:
perm = guest ? &fpu->guest_perm : &fpu->perm;
/* Pairs with the READ_ONCE() in xstate_get_group_perm() */
WRITE_ONCE(perm->__state_perm, mask);

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.

fpu__drop()
PF_KTHREAD|PF_USER_WORKER tasks should never clear TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD,
so the TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD check should equally filter them out.
And this way an exiting userspace task can avoid the unnecessary "fwait"
if it does context_switch() at least once on its way to exit_thread().

For historic reasons there are some TSC-related functions in the
<asm/msr.h> header, even though there's an <asm/tsc.h> header.
To facilitate the relocation of rdtsc{,_ordered}() from <asm/msr.h>
to <asm/tsc.h> and to eventually eliminate the inclusion of
<asm/msr.h> in <asm/tsc.h>, add an explicit <asm/msr.h> dependency
to the source files that reference definitions from <asm/msr.h>.

The original function name came from an overly compressed form of
'fpstate_regs' by commit:
e61d6310a0f8 ("x86/fpu: Reset permission and fpstate on exec()")
However, the term 'fpregs' typically refers to physical FPU registers. In
contrast, this function copies the init values to fpu->fpstate->regs, not
hardware registers.
Rename the function to better reflect what it actually does.
No functional change.

The signal delivery logic was modified to always set the PKRU bit in
xregs_state->header->xfeatures by this commit:
ae6012d72fa6 ("x86/pkeys: Ensure updated PKRU value is XRSTOR'd")
However, the change derives the bitmask value using XGETBV(1), rather
than simply updating the buffer that already holds the value. Thus, this
approach induces an unnecessary dependency on XGETBV1 for PKRU handling.
Eliminate the dependency by using the established helper function.
Subsequently, remove the now-unused 'mask' argument.

XSTATE components are architecturally independent. There is no rule
requiring their offsets in the non-compacted format to be strictly
ascending or mutually non-overlapping. However, in practice, such
overlaps have not occurred -- until now.
APX is introduced as xstate component 19, following AMX. In the
non-compacted XSAVE format, its offset overlaps with the space previously
occupied by the now-deprecated MPX feature:
45fc24e89b7c ("x86/mpx: remove MPX from arch/x86")
To prevent conflicts, the kernel must ensure the CPU never expose both
features at the same time. If so, it indicates unreliable hardware. In
such cases, XSAVE should be disabled entirely as a precautionary measure.
Add a sanity check to detect this condition and disable XSAVE if an
invalid hardware configuration is identified.
Note: MPX state components remain enabled on legacy systems solely for
KVM guest support.

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.

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.

== Background ==
As feature positions in the userspace XSAVE buffer do not always align
with their feature numbers, the XSAVE format conversion needs to be
reconsidered to align with the revised xstate size calculation logic.
* For signal handling, XSAVE and XRSTOR are used directly to save and
restore extended registers.
* For ptrace, KVM, and signal returns (for 32-bit frame), the kernel
copies data between its internal buffer and the userspace XSAVE buffer.
If memcpy() were used for these cases, existing offset helpers — such
as __raw_xsave_addr() or xstate_offsets[] — would be sufficient to
handle the format conversion.
== Problem ==
When copying data from the compacted in-kernel buffer to the
non-compacted userspace buffer, the function follows the
user_regset_get2_fn() prototype. This means it utilizes struct membuf
helpers for the destination buffer. As defined in regset.h, these helpers
update the memory pointer during the copy process, enforcing sequential
writes within the loop.
Since xstate components are processed sequentially, any component whose
buffer position does not align with its feature number has an issue.
== Solution ==
Replace for_each_extended_xfeature() with the newly introduced
for_each_extended_xfeature_in_order(). This macro ensures xstate
components are handled in the correct order based on their actual
positions in the destination buffer, rather than their feature numbers.

The current xstate size calculation assumes that the highest-numbered
xstate feature has the highest offset in the buffer, determining the size
based on the topmost bit in the feature mask. However, this assumption is
not architecturally guaranteed -- higher-numbered features may have lower
offsets.
With the introduction of the xfeature order table and its helper macro,
xstate components can now be traversed in their positional order. Update
the non-compacted format handling to iterate through the table to
determine the last-positioned feature. Then, set the offset accordingly.
Since size calculation primarily occurs during initialization or in
non-critical paths, looping to find the last feature is not expected to
have a meaningful performance impact.

The kernel has largely assumed that higher xstate component numbers
correspond to later offsets in the buffer. However, this assumption no
longer holds for the non-compacted format, where a newer state component
may have a lower offset.
When iterating over xstate components in offset order, using the feature
number as an index may be misleading. At the same time, the CPU exposes
each component’s size and offset based on its feature number, making it a
key for state information.
To provide flexibility in handling xstate ordering, introduce a mapping
table: feature order -> feature number. The table is dynamically
populated based on the CPU-exposed features and is sorted in offset order
at boot time.
Additionally, add an accessor macro to facilitate sequential traversal of
xstate components based on their actual buffer positions, given a feature
bitmask. This accessor macro will be particularly useful for computing
custom non-compacted format sizes and iterating over xstate offsets in
non-compacted buffers.

Traditionally, new xstate components have been assigned sequentially,
aligning feature numbers with their offsets in the XSAVE buffer. However,
this ordering is not architecturally mandated in the non-compacted
format, where a component's offset may not correspond to its feature
number.
The kernel caches CPUID-reported xstate component details, including size
and offset in the non-compacted format. As part of this process, a sanity
check is also conducted to ensure alignment between feature numbers and
offsets.
This check was likely intended as a general guideline rather than a
strict requirement. Upcoming changes will support out-of-order offsets.
Remove the check as becoming obsolete.

Guest FPUs manage vCPU FPU states. They are allocated via
fpu_alloc_guest_fpstate() and are resized in fpstate_realloc() when XFD
features are enabled.
Since the introduction of guest FPUs, there have been inconsistencies in
the kernel buffer size and xfeatures:
1. fpu_alloc_guest_fpstate() uses fpu_user_cfg since its introduction. See:
69f6ed1d14c6 ("x86/fpu: Provide infrastructure for KVM FPU cleanup")
36487e6228c4 ("x86/fpu: Prepare guest FPU for dynamically enabled FPU features")
2. __fpstate_reset() references fpu_kernel_cfg to set storage attributes.
3. fpu->guest_perm uses fpu_kernel_cfg, affecting fpstate_realloc().
A recent commit in the tip:x86/fpu tree partially addressed the inconsistency
between (1) and (3) by using fpu_kernel_cfg for size calculation in (1),
but left fpu_guest->xfeatures and fpu_guest->perm still referencing
fpu_user_cfg:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250218141045.85201-1-stanspas@amazon.de/
1937e18cc3cf ("x86/fpu: Fix guest FPU state buffer allocation size")
The inconsistencies within fpu_alloc_guest_fpstate() and across the
mentioned functions cause confusion.
Fix them by using fpu_kernel_cfg consistently in fpu_alloc_guest_fpstate(),
except for fields related to the UABI buffer. Referencing fpu_kernel_cfg
won't impact functionalities, as:
1. fpu_guest->perm is overwritten shortly in fpu_init_guest_permissions()
with fpstate->guest_perm, which already uses fpu_kernel_cfg.
2. fpu_guest->xfeatures is solely used to check if XFD features are enabled.
Including supervisor xfeatures doesn't affect the check.

usable in softirqs
Background:
===========
Currently kernel-mode FPU is not always usable in softirq context on
x86, since softirqs can nest inside a kernel-mode FPU section in task
context, and nested use of kernel-mode FPU is not supported.
Therefore, x86 SIMD-optimized code that can be called in softirq context
has to sometimes fall back to non-SIMD code. There are two options for
the fallback, both of which are pretty terrible:
(a) Use a scalar fallback. This can be 10-100x slower than vectorized
code because it cannot use specialized instructions like AES, SHA,
or carryless multiplication.
(b) Execute the request asynchronously using a kworker. In other
words, use the "crypto SIMD helper" in crypto/simd.c.
Currently most of the x86 en/decryption code (skcipher and aead
algorithms) uses option (b), since this avoids the slow scalar fallback
and it is easier to wire up. But option (b) is still really bad for its
own reasons:
- Punting the request to a kworker is bad for performance too.
- It forces the algorithm to be marked as asynchronous
(CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC), preventing it from being used by crypto API
users who request a synchronous algorithm. That's another huge
performance problem, which is especially unfortunate for users who
don't even do en/decryption in softirq context.
- It makes all en/decryption operations take a detour through
crypto/simd.c. That involves additional checks and an additional
indirect call, which slow down en/decryption for *everyone*.
Fortunately, the skcipher and aead APIs are only usable in task and
softirq context in the first place. Thus, if kernel-mode FPU were to be
reliably usable in softirq context, no fallback would be needed.
Indeed, other architectures such as arm, arm64, and riscv have already
done this.
Changes implemented:

Therefore, this patch updates x86 accordingly to reliably support
kernel-mode FPU in softirqs.
This is done by just disabling softirq processing in kernel-mode FPU
sections (when hardirqs are not already disabled), as that prevents the
nesting that was problematic.
This will delay some softirqs slightly, but only ones that would have
otherwise been nested inside a task context kernel-mode FPU section.
Any such softirqs would have taken the slow fallback path before if they
tried to do any en/decryption. Now these softirqs will just run at the
end of the task context kernel-mode FPU section (since local_bh_enable()
runs pending softirqs) and will no longer take the slow fallback path.
Alternatives considered:
========================
- Make kernel-mode FPU sections fully preemptible. This would require
growing task_struct by another struct fpstate which is more than 2K.
- Make softirqs save/restore the kernel-mode FPU state to a per-CPU
struct fpstate when nested use is detected. Somewhat interesting, but
seems unnecessary when a simpler solution exists.
Performance results:
====================
I did some benchmarks with AES-XTS encryption of 16-byte messages (which is
unrealistically small, but this makes it easier to see the overhead of
kernel-mode FPU...). The baseline was 384 MB/s. Removing the use of
crypto/simd.c, which this work makes possible, increases it to 487 MB/s,
a +27% improvement in throughput.
CPU was AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (Zen 5). No debugging options were enabled.

print_xstate_features() currently invokes print_xstate_feature() multiple
times on separate lines, which can be simplified in a loop.
print_xstate_feature() already checks the feature's enabled status and is
only called within print_xstate_features(). Inline print_xstate_feature()
and iterate over features in a loop to streamline the enabling message.
No functional changes.

Before restoring xstate from the user space buffer, the kernel performs
sanity checks on these magic numbers: magic1 in the software reserved
area, and magic2 at the end of XSAVE region.
The position of magic2 is calculated based on the xstate size derived
from the user space buffer. But, the in-kernel record is directly
available and reliable for this purpose.
This reliance on user space data is also inconsistent with the recent
fix in:
d877550eaf2d ("x86/fpu: Stop relying on userspace for info to fault in xsave buffer")
Simply use fpstate->user_size, and then get rid of unnecessary
size-evaluation code.

Ongoing work on an optimization to batch-preallocate vCPU state buffers
for KVM revealed a mismatch between the allocation sizes used in
fpu_alloc_guest_fpstate() and fpstate_realloc(). While the former
allocates a buffer sized to fit the default set of XSAVE features
in UABI form (as per fpu_user_cfg), the latter uses its ksize argument
derived (for the requested set of features) in the same way as the sizes
found in fpu_kernel_cfg, i.e. using the compacted in-kernel
representation.
The correct size to use for guest FPU state should indeed be the
kernel one as seen in fpstate_realloc(). The original issue likely
went unnoticed through a combination of UABI size typically being
larger than or equal to kernel size, and/or both amounting to the
same number of allocated 4K pages.

The x86 shadow stack support has its own set of registers. Those registers
are XSAVE-managed, but they are "supervisor state components" which means
that userspace can not touch them with XSAVE/XRSTOR. It also means that
they are not accessible from the existing ptrace ABI for XSAVE state.
Thus, there is a new ptrace get/set interface for it.
The regset code that ptrace uses provides an ->active() handler in
addition to the get/set ones. For shadow stack this ->active() handler
verifies that shadow stack is enabled via the ARCH_SHSTK_SHSTK bit in the
thread struct. The ->active() handler is checked from some call sites of
the regset get/set handlers, but not the ptrace ones. This was not
understood when shadow stack support was put in place.
As a result, both the set/get handlers can be called with
XFEATURE_CET_USER in its init state, which would cause get_xsave_addr() to
return NULL and trigger a WARN_ON(). The ssp_set() handler luckily has an
ssp_active() check to avoid surprising the kernel with shadow stack
behavior when the kernel is not ready for it (ARCH_SHSTK_SHSTK==0). That
check just happened to avoid the warning.
But the ->get() side wasn't so lucky. It can be called with shadow stacks
disabled, triggering the warning in practice, as reported by Christina
Schimpe:

Ensure that shadow stacks are active in a thread before looking them up
in the XSAVE buffer. Since ARCH_SHSTK_SHSTK and user_ssp[SHSTK_EN] are
set at the same time, the active check ensures that there will be
something to find in the XSAVE buffer.

When XSTATE_BV[i] is 0, and XRSTOR attempts to restore state component
'i' it ignores any value in the XSAVE buffer and instead restores the
state component's init value.
This means that if XSAVE writes XSTATE_BV[PKRU]=0 then XRSTOR will
ignore the value that update_pkru_in_sigframe() writes to the XSAVE buffer.
XSTATE_BV[PKRU] only gets written as 0 if PKRU is in its init state. On
Intel CPUs, basically never happens because the kernel usually
overwrites the init value (aside: this is why we didn't notice this bug
until now). But on AMD, the init tracker is more aggressive and will
track PKRU as being in its init state upon any wrpkru(0x0).
Unfortunately, sig_prepare_pkru() does just that: wrpkru(0x0).
This writes XSTATE_BV[PKRU]=0 which makes XRSTOR ignore the PKRU value
in the sigframe.
To fix this, always overwrite the sigframe XSTATE_BV with a value that
has XSTATE_BV[PKRU]==1. This ensures that XRSTOR will not ignore what
update_pkru_in_sigframe() wrote.
The problematic sequence of events is something like this:
Userspace does:
* wrpkru(0xffff0000) (or whatever)
* Hardware sets: XINUSE[PKRU]=1
Signal happens, kernel is entered:
* sig_prepare_pkru() => wrpkru(0x00000000)
* Hardware sets: XINUSE[PKRU]=0 (aggressive AMD init tracker)
* XSAVE writes most of XSAVE buffer, including
XSTATE_BV[PKRU]=XINUSE[PKRU]=0
* update_pkru_in_sigframe() overwrites PKRU in XSAVE buffer
... signal handling
* XRSTOR sees XSTATE_BV[PKRU]==0, ignores just-written value
from update_pkru_in_sigframe()

Pull x86 memory management updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Make LAM enablement safe vs. kernel threads using a process mm
temporarily as switching back to the process would not update CR3 and
therefore not enable LAM causing faults in user space when using
tagged pointers. Cure it by synchronizing LAM enablement via IPIs to
all CPUs which use the related mm.
- Cure a LAM harmless inconsistency between CR3 and the state during
context switch. It's both confusing and prone to lead to real bugs
- Handle alt stack handling for threads which run with a non-zero
protection key. The non-zero key prevents the kernel to access the
alternate stack. Cure it by temporarily enabling all protection keys
for the alternate stack setup/restore operations.
- Provide a EFI config table identity mapping for kexec kernel to
prevent kexec fails because the new kernel cannot access the config
table array
- Use GB pages only when a full GB is mapped in the identity map as
otherwise the CPU can speculate into reserved areas after the end of
memory which causes malfunction on UV systems.
- Remove the noisy and pointless SRAT table dump during boot
- Use is_ioremap_addr() for iounmap() address range checks instead of
high_memory. is_ioremap_addr() is more precise.
