Pull x86 apic updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update provides:
- Cleanup of the IDT management including the removal of the extra
tracing IDT. A first step to cleanup the vector management code.
- The removal of the paravirt op adjust_exception_frame. This is a
XEN specific issue, but merged through this branch to avoid nasty
merge collisions
- Prevent dmesg spam about the TSC DEADLINE bug, when the CPU has
disabled the TSC DEADLINE timer in CPUID.
- Adjust a debug message in the ioapic code to print out the
information correctly"

Pull x86 cache quality monitoring update from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update provides a complete rewrite of the Cache Quality
Monitoring (CQM) facility.
The existing CQM support was duct taped into perf with a lot of issues
and the attempts to fix those turned out to be incomplete and
horrible.
After lengthy discussions it was decided to integrate the CQM support
into the Resource Director Technology (RDT) facility, which is the
obvious choise as in hardware CQM is part of RDT. This allowed to add
Memory Bandwidth Monitoring support on top.
As a result the mechanisms for allocating cache/memory bandwidth and
the corresponding monitoring mechanisms are integrated into a single
management facility with a consistent user interface"

Pull x86 mm changes from Ingo Molnar:
"PCID support, 5-level paging support, Secure Memory Encryption support
The main changes in this cycle are support for three new, complex
hardware features of x86 CPUs:
- Add 5-level paging support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming Intel CPUs allowing up to 128 PB of virtual address space
and 4 PB of physical RAM space - a 512-fold increase over the old
limits. (Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an
ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.)
Many of the necessary changes went upstream in previous cycles,
v4.14 is the first kernel that can enable 5-level paging.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y - disabled by
default.
(By Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Add 'encrypted memory' support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming AMD CPUs ('Secure Memory Encryption', SME) allowing system
RAM to be encrypted and decrypted (mostly) transparently by the
CPU, with a little help from the kernel to transition to/from
encrypted RAM. Such RAM should be more secure against various
attacks like RAM access via the memory bus and should make the
radio signature of memory bus traffic harder to intercept (and
decrypt) as well.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y - disabled
by default.
(By Tom Lendacky)
- Enable PCID optimized TLB flushing on newer Intel CPUs: PCID is a
hardware feature that attaches an address space tag to TLB entries
and thus allows to skip TLB flushing in many cases, even if we
switch mm's.
(By Andy Lutomirski)
All three of these features were in the works for a long time, and
it's coincidence of the three independent development paths that they
are all enabled in v4.14 at once"

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.
The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
(out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
with early versions. (knock on wood!)
But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
measurably:
With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
.text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.
The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.
Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
- but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
it the default unwinder on x86.
See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.
- Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary
proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the
reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to
its removal. (Juergen Gross)

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:
- Add branch type profiling/tracing support. (Jin Yao)
- Add the PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR ABI to allow the tracing/profiling of
physical memory addresses, where the PMU supports it. (Kan Liang)
- Export some PMU capability details in the new
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/ sysfs directory. (Andi
Kleen)
- Aux data fixes and updates (Will Deacon)
- kprobes fixes and updates (Masami Hiramatsu)
- AMD uncore PMU driver fixes and updates (Janakarajan Natarajan)
On the tooling side, here's a (limited!) list of highlights - there
were many other changes that I could not list, see the shortlog and
git history for details:
UI improvements:
- Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the
annotate TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work
needed to have it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao)
Further explanation from one of Jin's patches:
│ ┌──cmpl $0x0,argp_program_version_hook
81.93 │ ├──je 20
│ │ lock cmpxchg %esi,0x38a9a4(%rip)
│ │↓ jne 29
│ │↓ jmp 43
11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)
That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should
be considered together.
- Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about in
callchain entries (Jin Yao)

namespaces support:
- Add initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in
namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. (Krister Johansen)
perf trace enhancements:
- Beautify pkey_{alloc,free,mprotect} arguments in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add initial 'clone' syscall args beautifier in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Ignore 'fd' and 'offset' args for MAP_ANONYMOUS in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Beautifiers for the 'cmd' arg of several ioctl types, including:
sound, DRM, KVM, vhost virtio and perf_events. (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Add PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_RECORD_MMAP[2] to 'perf data'
CTF conversion, allowing CTF trace visualization tools to show
callchains and to resolve symbols (Geneviève Bastien)
- Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the
sense that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the
formatters of some arguments according to the value in a previous
one, i.e. cmd dictates how arg and the syscall return will be
formatted. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
perf stat enhancements:
- Use group read for event groups in 'perf stat', reducing overhead
when groups are defined in the event specification, i.e. when using
{} to enclose a list of events, asking them to be read at the same
time, e.g.: "perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}'" (Jiri Olsa)
pipe mode improvements:
- Process tracing data in 'perf annotate' pipe mode (David
Carrillo-Cisneros)
- Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command:
$ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header
Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data
file (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
Vendor specific hardware event support updates/enhancements:
- Update POWER9 vendor events tables (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)
- Add POWER9 PMU events Sukadev (Bhattiprolu)
- Support additional POWER8+ PVR in PMU mapfile (Shriya)
- Add Skylake server uncore JSON vendor events (Andi Kleen)
- Support exporting Intel PT data to sqlite3 with python perf

and EFI_LOADER_* from KASLR's choice
There's a potential bug in how we select the KASLR kernel address n
the early boot code.
The KASLR boot code currently chooses the kernel image's physical memory
location from E820_TYPE_RAM regions by walking over all e820 entries.
E820_TYPE_RAM includes EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE and EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA
as well, so those regions can end up hosting the kernel image. According to
the UEFI spec, all memory regions marked as EfiBootServicesCode and
EfiBootServicesData are available as free memory after the first call
to ExitBootServices(). I.e. so such regions should be usable for the
kernel, per spec.
In real life however, we have workarounds for broken x86 firmware,
where we keep such regions reserved until SetVirtualAddressMap() is done.
See the following code in should_map_region():
static bool should_map_region(efi_memory_desc_t *md)
{
...
/*
* Map boot services regions as a workaround for buggy
* firmware that accesses them even when they shouldn't.
*
* See efi_{reserve,free}_boot_services().
*/
if (md->type =3D=3D EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE ||
md->type =3D=3D EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA)
return false;
This workaround suppressed a boot crash, but potential issues still
remain because no one prevents the regions from overlapping with kernel
image by KASLR.
So let's make sure that EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_{CODE|DATA} regions are never
chosen as kernel memory for the workaround to work fine.
Furthermore, EFI_LOADER_{CODE|DATA} regions are also excluded because
they can be used after ExitBootServices() as defined in EFI spec.
As a result, we choose kernel address only from EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY
which is the only memory type we know to be safely free.

without the feature
When booting 4.13 on a VirtualBox VM on a Skylake host the following
error shows up in the logs:
[ 0.000000] [Firmware Bug]: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata;
please update microcode to version: 0xb2 (or later)
This is caused by apic_check_deadline_errata() only checking CPU model
and not the X86_FEATURE_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER flag (which VirtualBox does
NOT export to the guest), combined with VirtualBox not exporting the
micro-code version to the guest.
This commit adds a check for X86_FEATURE_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER to
apic_check_deadline_errata(), silencing this error on VirtualBox VMs.

There's a subtle bug in how some of the paravirt guest code handles
page table freeing on x86:
On x86 software page table walkers depend on the fact that remote TLB flush
does an IPI: walk is performed lockless but with interrupts disabled and in
case the page table is freed the freeing CPU will get blocked as remote TLB
flush is required. On other architectures which don't require an IPI to do
remote TLB flush we have an RCU-based mechanism (see
include/asm-generic/tlb.h for more details).
In virtualized environments we may want to override the ->flush_tlb_others
callback in pv_mmu_ops and use a hypercall asking the hypervisor to do a
remote TLB flush for us. This breaks the assumption about IPIs. Xen PV has
been doing this for years and the upcoming remote TLB flush for Hyper-V will
do it too.
This is not safe, as software page table walkers may step on an already
freed page.
Fix the bug by enabling the RCU-based page table freeing mechanism,
CONFIG_HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE=y.
Testing with kernbench and mmap/munmap microbenchmarks, and neither showed
any noticeable performance impact.
