This implements the runtime constant infrastructure for x86, allowing
the dcache d_hash() function to be generated using as a constant for
hash table address followed by shift by a constant of the hash index.

AMD Zen-based systems use a System Management Network (SMN) that
provides access to implementation-specific registers.
SMN accesses are done indirectly through an index/data pair in PCI
config space. The PCI config access may fail and return an error code.
This would prevent the "read" value from being updated.
However, the PCI config access may succeed, but the return value may be
invalid. This is in similar fashion to PCI bad reads, i.e. return all
bits set.
Most systems will return 0 for SMN addresses that are not accessible.
This is in line with AMD convention that unavailable registers are
Read-as-Zero/Writes-Ignored.
However, some systems will return a "PCI Error Response" instead. This
value, along with an error code of 0 from the PCI config access, will
confuse callers of the amd_smn_read() function.
Check for this condition, clear the return value, and set a proper error
code.

The call to cc_platform_has() triggers a fault and system crash if call depth
tracking is active because the GS segment has been reset by load_segments() and
GS_BASE is now 0 but call depth tracking uses per-CPU variables to operate.
Call cc_platform_has() earlier in the function when GS is still valid.

Intel CPUs have a MSR bit to limit CPUID enumeration to leaf two. If
this bit is set by the BIOS then CPUID evaluation including topology
enumeration does not work correctly as the evaluation code does not try
to analyze any leaf greater than two.
This went unnoticed before because the original topology code just
repeated evaluation several times and managed to overwrite the initial
limited information with the correct one later. The new evaluation code
does it once and therefore ends up with the limited and wrong
information.
Cure this by unlocking CPUID right before evaluating anything which
depends on the maximum CPUID leaf being greater than two instead of
rereading stuff after unlock.

tl;dr: CPUs with CPUID.80000008H but without CPUID.01H:EDX[CLFSH]
will end up reporting cache_line_size()==0 and bad things happen.
Fill in a default on those to avoid the problem.
Long Story:
The kernel dies a horrible death if c->x86_cache_alignment (aka.
cache_line_size() is 0. Normally, this value is populated from
c->x86_clflush_size.
Right now the code is set up to get c->x86_clflush_size from two
places. First, modern CPUs get it from CPUID. Old CPUs that don't
have leaf 0x80000008 (or CPUID at all) just get some sane defaults
from the kernel in get_cpu_address_sizes().
The vast majority of CPUs that have leaf 0x80000008 also get
->x86_clflush_size from CPUID. But there are oddballs.
Intel Quark CPUs[1] and others[2] have leaf 0x80000008 but don't set
CPUID.01H:EDX[CLFSH], so they skip over filling in ->x86_clflush_size:
cpuid(0x00000001, &tfms, &misc, &junk, &cap0);
if (cap0 & (1<<19))
c->x86_clflush_size = ((misc >> 8) & 0xff) * 8;
So they: land in get_cpu_address_sizes() and see that CPUID has level
0x80000008 and jump into the side of the if() that does not fill in
c->x86_clflush_size. That assigns a 0 to c->x86_cache_alignment, and
hilarity ensues in code like:
buffer = kzalloc(ALIGN(sizeof(*buffer), cache_line_size()),
GFP_KERNEL);
To fix this, always provide a sane value for ->x86_clflush_size.
Big thanks to Andy Shevchenko for finding and reporting this and also
providing a first pass at a fix. But his fix was only partial and only
worked on the Quark CPUs. It would not, for instance, have worked on
the QEMU config.
1. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/InstLatx64/InstLatx64/master/GenuineIntel/GenuineIntel0000590_Clanton_03_CPUID.txt
2. You can also get this behavior if you use "-cpu 486,+clzero"
in QEMU.

and greater
The new AMD/HYGON topology parser evaluates the SMT information in CPUID leaf
0x8000001e unconditionally while the original code restricted it to CPUs with
family 0x17 and greater.
This breaks family 0x15 CPUs which advertise that leaf and have a non-zero
value in the SMT section. The machine boots, but the scheduler complains loudly
about the mismatch of the core IDs:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/sched/core.c:6482 sched_cpu_starting+0x183/0x250
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/sched/topology.c:2408 build_sched_domains+0x76b/0x12b0

The absence of IRQD_MOVE_PCNTXT prevents immediate effectiveness of
interrupt affinity reconfiguration via procfs. Instead, the change is
deferred until the next instance of the interrupt being triggered on the
original CPU.
When the interrupt next triggers on the original CPU, the new affinity is
enforced within __irq_move_irq(). A vector is allocated from the new CPU,
but the old vector on the original CPU remains and is not immediately
reclaimed. Instead, apicd->move_in_progress is flagged, and the reclaiming
process is delayed until the next trigger of the interrupt on the new CPU.
Upon the subsequent triggering of the interrupt on the new CPU,
irq_complete_move() adds a task to the old CPU's vector_cleanup list if it
remains online. Subsequently, the timer on the old CPU iterates over its
vector_cleanup list, reclaiming old vectors.
However, a rare scenario arises if the old CPU is outgoing before the
interrupt triggers again on the new CPU.
In that case irq_force_complete_move() is not invoked on the outgoing CPU
to reclaim the old apicd->prev_vector because the interrupt isn't currently
affine to the outgoing CPU, and irq_needs_fixup() returns false. Even
though __vector_schedule_cleanup() is later called on the new CPU, it
doesn't reclaim apicd->prev_vector; instead, it simply resets both
apicd->move_in_progress and apicd->prev_vector to 0.
As a result, the vector remains unreclaimed in vector_matrix, leading to a
CPU vector leak.
To address this issue, move the invocation of irq_force_complete_move()
before the irq_needs_fixup() call to reclaim apicd->prev_vector, if the
interrupt is currently or used to be affine to the outgoing CPU.
Additionally, reclaim the vector in __vector_schedule_cleanup() as well,
following a warning message, although theoretically it should never see
apicd->move_in_progress with apicd->prev_cpu pointing to an offline CPU.

Code in v6.9 arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c was changed by commit
4db64279bc2b ("x86/cpu: Switch to new Intel CPU model defines") from:
static const struct x86_cpu_id intel_cod_cpu[] = {
X86_MATCH_INTEL_FAM6_MODEL(HASWELL_X, 0), /* COD */
X86_MATCH_INTEL_FAM6_MODEL(BROADWELL_X, 0), /* COD */
X86_MATCH_INTEL_FAM6_MODEL(ANY, 1), /* SNC */ <--- 443
{}
};
static bool match_llc(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c, struct cpuinfo_x86 *o)
{
const struct x86_cpu_id *id = x86_match_cpu(intel_cod_cpu);
to:
static const struct x86_cpu_id intel_cod_cpu[] = {
X86_MATCH_VFM(INTEL_HASWELL_X, 0), /* COD */
X86_MATCH_VFM(INTEL_BROADWELL_X, 0), /* COD */
X86_MATCH_VFM(INTEL_ANY, 1), /* SNC */
{}
};
static bool match_llc(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c, struct cpuinfo_x86 *o)
{
const struct x86_cpu_id *id = x86_match_cpu(intel_cod_cpu);
On an Intel CPU with SNC enabled this code previously matched the rule on line
443 to avoid printing messages about insane cache configuration. The new code
did not match any rules.
Expanding the macros for the intel_cod_cpu[] array shows that the old is
equivalent to:
static const struct x86_cpu_id intel_cod_cpu[] = {
[0] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 6, .model = 0x3F, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 },
[1] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 6, .model = 0x4F, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 },
[2] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 6, .model = 0x00, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 1 },
[3] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 0, .model = 0x00, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 }
}
while the new code expands to:
static const struct x86_cpu_id intel_cod_cpu[] = {
[0] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 6, .model = 0x3F, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 },
[1] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 6, .model = 0x4F, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 },
[2] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 0, .model = 0x00, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 1 },
[3] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 0, .model = 0x00, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 }
}
Looking at the code for x86_match_cpu():
const struct x86_cpu_id *x86_match_cpu(const struct x86_cpu_id *match)
{
const struct x86_cpu_id *m;
struct cpuinfo_x86 *c = &boot_cpu_data;
for (m = match;
m->vendor | m->family | m->model | m->steppings | m->feature;
m++) {
...
}
return NULL;
it is clear that there was no match because the ANY entry in the table (array
index 2) is now the loop termination condition (all of vendor, family, model,
steppings, and feature are zero).
So this code was working before because the "ANY" check was looking for any
Intel CPU in family 6. But fails now because the family is a wild card. So the
root cause is that x86_match_cpu() has never been able to match on a rule with
just X86_VENDOR_INTEL and all other fields set to wildcards.
Add a new flags field to struct x86_cpu_id that has a bit set to indicate that
this entry in the array is valid. Update X86_MATCH*() macros to set that bit.
Change the end-marker check in x86_match_cpu() to just check the flags field
for this bit.
Backporter notes: The commit in Fixes is really the one that is broken:
you can't have m->vendor as part of the loop termination conditional in
x86_match_cpu() because it can happen - as it has happened above
- that that whole conditional is 0 albeit vendor == 0 is a valid case
- X86_VENDOR_INTEL is 0.
However, the only case where the above happens is the SNC check added by
4db64279bc2b1 so you only need this fix if you have backported that
other commit

The ACPI specification clearly states how the processors should be
enumerated in the MADT:
"To ensure that the boot processor is supported post initialization,
two guidelines should be followed. The first is that OSPM should
initialize processors in the order that they appear in the MADT. The
second is that platform firmware should list the boot processor as the
first processor entry in the MADT.
...
Failure of OSPM implementations and platform firmware to abide by
these guidelines can result in both unpredictable and non optimal
platform operation."
The kernel relies on that ordering to detect the real BSP on crash kernels
which is important to avoid sending a INIT IPI to it as that would cause a
full machine reset.
On a Dell XPS 16 9640 the BIOS ignores this rule and enumerates the CPUs in
the wrong order. As a consequence the kernel falsely detects a crash kernel
and disables the corresponding CPU.
Prevent this by checking the IA32_APICBASE MSR for the BSP bit on the boot
CPU. If that bit is set, then the MADT based BSP detection can be safely
ignored. If the kernel detects a mismatch between the BSP bit and the first
enumerated MADT entry then emit a firmware bug message.
This obviously also has to be taken into account when the boot APIC ID and
the first enumerated APIC ID match. If the boot CPU does not have the BSP
bit set in the APICBASE MSR then there is no way for the boot CPU to
determine which of the CPUs is the real BSP. Sending an INIT to the real
BSP would reset the machine so the only sane way to deal with that is to
limit the number of CPUs to one and emit a corresponding warning message.

Commit in Fixes moved the optimize_nops() call inside apply_relocation()
and made it a second optimization pass after the relocations have been
done.
Since optimize_nops() works only on NOPs, that is fine and it'll simply
jump over instructions which are not NOPs.
However, it made that call with repl_len as the buffer length to
optimize.
However, it can happen that there are alternatives calls like this one:
alternative("mfence; lfence", "", ALT_NOT(X86_FEATURE_APIC_MSRS_FENCE));
where the replacement length is 0. And using repl_len is wrong because
apply_alternatives() expands the buffer size to the length of the source
insn that is being patched, by padding it with one-byte NOPs:
for (; insn_buff_sz < a->instrlen; insn_buff_sz++)
insn_buff[insn_buff_sz] = 0x90;
Long story short: pass the length of the original instruction(s) as the
length of the temporary buffer which to optimize.
Result:
SMP alternatives: feat: 11*32+27, old: (lapic_next_deadline+0x9/0x50 (ffffffff81061829) len: 6), repl: (ffffffff89b1cc60, len: 0) flags: 0x1

If an error happens in ftrace, ftrace_kill() will prevent disarming
kprobes. Eventually, the ftrace_ops associated with the kprobes will be
freed, yet the kprobes will still be active, and when triggered, they
will use the freed memory, likely resulting in a page fault and panic.
This behavior can be reproduced quite easily, by creating a kprobe and
then triggering a ftrace_kill(). For simplicity, we can simulate an
ftrace error with a kernel module like [1]:
[1]: https://github.com/brenns10/kernel_stuff/tree/master/ftrace_killer
sudo perf probe --add commit_creds
sudo perf trace -e probe:commit_creds
# In another terminal
make
sudo insmod ftrace_killer.ko # calls ftrace_kill(), simulating bug
# Back to perf terminal
# ctrl-c
sudo perf probe --del commit_creds
After a short period, a page fault and panic would occur as the kprobe
continues to execute and uses the freed ftrace_ops. While ftrace_kill()
is supposed to be used only in extreme circumstances, it is invoked in
FTRACE_WARN_ON() and so there are many places where an unexpected bug
could be triggered, yet the system may continue operating, possibly
without the administrator noticing. If ftrace_kill() does not panic the
system, then we should do everything we can to continue operating,
rather than leave a ticking time bomb.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Move a lot of state that was previously stored on a per vcpu basis
into a per-CPU area, because it is only pertinent to the host while
the vcpu is loaded. This results in better state tracking, and a
smaller vcpu structure.
- Add full handling of the ERET/ERETAA/ERETAB instructions in nested
virtualisation. The last two instructions also require emulating
part of the pointer authentication extension. As a result, the trap
handling of pointer authentication has been greatly simplified.
- Turn the global (and not very scalable) LPI translation cache into
a per-ITS, scalable cache, making non directly injected LPIs much
cheaper to make visible to the vcpu.
- A batch of pKVM patches, mostly fixes and cleanups, as the
upstreaming process seems to be resuming. Fingers crossed!
- Allocate PPIs and SGIs outside of the vcpu structure, allowing for
smaller EL2 mapping and some flexibility in implementing more or
less than 32 private IRQs.
- Purge stale mpidr_data if a vcpu is created after the MPIDR map has
been created.
- Preserve vcpu-specific ID registers across a vcpu reset.
- Various minor cleanups and improvements.
LoongArch:
- Add ParaVirt IPI support
- Add software breakpoint support
- Add mmio trace events support
RISC-V:
- Support guest breakpoints using ebreak
- Introduce per-VCPU mp_state_lock and reset_cntx_lock
- Virtualize SBI PMU snapshot and counter overflow interrupts
- New selftests for SBI PMU and Guest ebreak
- Some preparatory work for both TDX and SNP page fault handling.
This also cleans up the page fault path, so that the priorities of
various kinds of fauls (private page, no memory, write to read-only
slot, etc.) are easier to follow.
x86:
- Minimize amount of time that shadow PTEs remain in the special
REMOVED_SPTE state.
This is a state where the mmu_lock is held for reading but
concurrent accesses to the PTE have to spin; shortening its use
allows other vCPUs to repopulate the zapped region while the zapper
finishes tearing down the old, defunct page tables.
- Advertise the max mappable GPA in the "guest MAXPHYADDR" CPUID
field, which is defined by hardware but left for software use.
This lets KVM communicate its inability to map GPAs that set bits
51:48 on hosts without 5-level nested page tables. Guest firmware
is expected to use the information when mapping BARs; this avoids
that they end up at a legal, but unmappable, GPA.
- Fixed a bug where KVM would not reject accesses to MSR that aren't
supposed to exist given the vCPU model and/or KVM configuration.
- As usual, a bunch of code cleanups.
x86 (AMD):
- Implement a new and improved API to initialize SEV and SEV-ES VMs,
which will also be extendable to SEV-SNP.
The new API specifies the desired encryption in KVM_CREATE_VM and
then separately initializes the VM. The new API also allows
customizing the desired set of VMSA features; the features affect
the measurement of the VM's initial state, and therefore enabling
them cannot be done tout court by the hypervisor.
While at it, the new API includes two bugfixes that couldn't be
applied to the old one without a flag day in userspace or without
affecting the initial measurement. When a SEV-ES VM is created with
the new VM type, KVM_GET_REGS/KVM_SET_REGS and friends are rejected
once the VMSA has been encrypted. Also, the FPU and AVX state will
be synchronized and encrypted too.
- Support for GHCB version 2 as applicable to SEV-ES guests.
This, once more, is only accessible when using the new
KVM_SEV_INIT2 flow for initialization of SEV-ES VMs.
x86 (Intel):
- An initial bunch of prerequisite patches for Intel TDX were merged.
They generally don't do anything interesting. The only somewhat
user visible change is a new debugging mode that checks that KVM's
MMU never triggers a #VE virtualization exception in the guest.
- Clear vmcs.EXIT_QUALIFICATION when synthesizing an EPT Misconfig
VM-Exit to L1, as per the SDM.
Generic:
- Use vfree() instead of kvfree() for allocations that always use
vcalloc() or __vcalloc().
- Remove .change_pte() MMU notifier - the changes to non-KVM code are
small and Andrew Morton asked that I also take those through the
KVM tree.
The callback was only ever |
