Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

EISA has absolutely nothing to do with traps, so move it out of traps.c
into its own eisa.c file.
Furthermore, the EISA bus detection does not need to run during
very early boot, it's good enough to run it before the EISA bus
and drivers are initialized.
I.e. instead of calling it from the very early trap_init() code,
make it a subsys_initcall().

Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework.
It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and
.orc_unwind_ip sections.
For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is
that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo
data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude
faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to
profiling workloads like perf.
Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas:
splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a
fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.

In preparation for an objtool rewrite which will have broader checks,
whitelist functions and files which cause problems because they do
unusual things with the stack.
These whitelists serve as a TODO list for which functions and files
don't yet have undwarf unwinder coverage. Eventually most of the
whitelists can be removed in favor of manual CFI hint annotations or
objtool improvements.

A recent commit moved most logic of early boot up from startup_64() written
in assembly to __startup_64() written in C.
Fengguang reported breakage due to the change. It was tracked down to
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER being enabled.
Tracing this function is not possible because it's invoked from the
earliest boot stage before the relocation fixups have been done. It is the
function doing the relocation.
Exclude it from being built with tracer stubs.

Currently ftrace_32.S and ftrace_64.S are compiled even when
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER is not set. This means there's an unnecessary #ifdef
to protect the code. Instead of using preprocessor directives, only compile
those files when FUNCTION_TRACER is defined.

With the advent of -mfentry that uses the new "fentry" hook over mcount,
the mcount name is obsolete. Having the code file that ftrace hooks into
called "mcount*.S" is rather misleading. Rename it to ftrace_64.S and
remove the file name reference.

This patch makes arch-independent testcases for RODATA. Both x86 and
x86_64 already have testcases for RODATA, But they are arch-specific
because using inline assembly directly.
And cacheflush.h is not a suitable location for rodata-test related
things. Since they were in cacheflush.h, If someone change the state of
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST, It cause overhead of kernel build.
To solve the above issues, write arch-independent testcases and move it
to shared location.

CONFIG_DEBUG_NX_TEST has been broken since CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y
was added in v2.6.37 via:
84e1c6bb38eb ("x86: Add RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modules")
since the exception table was then made read-only.
Additionally, the manually constructed extables were never fixed when
relative extables were introduced in v3.5 via:
706276543b69 ("x86, extable: Switch to relative exception table entries")
However, relative extables won't work for test_nx.c, since test instruction
memory areas may be more than INT_MAX away from an executable fixup
(e.g. stack and heap too far away from executable memory with the fixup).
Since clearly no one has been using this code for a while now, and similar
tests exist in LKDTM, this should just be removed entirely.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the last functional update from the tip tree for 4.10. It got
delayed due to a newly reported and anlyzed variant of BIOS bug and
the resulting wreckage:
- Seperation of TSC being marked realiable and the fact that the
platform provides the TSC frequency via CPUID/MSRs and making use
for it for GOLDMONT.
- TSC adjust MSR validation and sanitizing:
The TSC adjust MSR contains the offset to the hardware counter. The
sum of the adjust MSR and the counter is the TSC value which is
read via RDTSC.
On at least two machines from different vendors the BIOS sets the
TSC adjust MSR to negative values. This happens on cold and warm
boot. While on cold boot the offset is a few milliseconds, on warm
boot it basically compensates the power on time of the system. The
BIOSes are not even using the adjust MSR to set all CPUs in the
package to the same offset. The offsets are different which renders
the TSC unusable,
What's worse is that the TSC deadline timer has a HW feature^Wbug.
It malfunctions when the TSC adjust value is negative or greater
equal 0x80000000 resulting in silent boot failures, hard lockups or
non firing timers. This looks like some hardware internal 32/64bit
issue with a sign extension problem. Intel has been silent so far
on the issue.
The update contains sanity checks and keeps the adjust register
within working limits and in sync on the package.
As it looks like this disease is spreading via BIOS crapware, we
need to address this urgently as the boot failures are hard to
debug for users"

Rename CONFIG_SCHED_ITMT for Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0
to CONFIG_SCHED_MC_PRIO. This makes the configuration extensible
in future to other architectures that wish to similarly establish
CPU core priorities support in the scheduler.
The description in Kconfig is updated to reflect this change with
added details for better clarity. The configuration is explicitly
default-y, to enable the feature on CPUs that have this feature.
It has no effect on non-TBM3 CPUs.

The TSC_ADJUST MSR shows whether the TSC has been modified. This is helpful
in a two aspects:
1) It allows to detect BIOS wreckage, where SMM code tries to 'hide' the
cycles spent by storing the TSC value at SMM entry and restoring it at
SMM exit. On affected machines the TSCs run slowly out of sync up to the
point where the clocksource watchdog (if available) detects it.
The TSC_ADJUST MSR allows to detect the TSC modification before that and
eventually restore it. This is also important for SoCs which have no
watchdog clocksource and therefore TSC wreckage cannot be detected and
acted upon.
2) All threads in a package are required to have the same TSC_ADJUST
value. Broken BIOSes break that and as a result the TSC synchronization
check fails.
The TSC_ADJUST MSR allows to detect the deviation when a CPU comes
online. If detected set it to the value of an already online CPU in the
same package. This also allows to reduce the number of sync tests
because with that in place the test is only required for the first CPU
in a package.
In principle all CPUs in a system should have the same TSC_ADJUST value
even across packages, but with physical CPU hotplug this assumption is
not true because the TSC starts with power on, so physical hotplug has
to do some trickery to bring the TSC into sync with already running
packages, which requires to use an TSC_ADJUST value different from CPUs
which got powered earlier.
A final enhancement is the opportunity to compensate for unsynced TSCs
accross nodes at boot time and make the TSC usable that way. It won't
help for TSCs which run apart due to frequency skew between packages,
but this gets detected by the clocksource watchdog later.
The first step toward this is to store the TSC_ADJUST value of a starting
CPU and compare it with the value of an already online CPU in the same
package. If they differ, emit a warning and adjust it to the reference
value. The !SMP version just stores the boot value for later verification.

On platforms supporting Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, the maximum
turbo frequencies of some cores in a CPU package may be higher than for
the other cores in the same package. In that case, better performance
(and possibly lower energy consumption as well) can be achieved by
making the scheduler prefer to run tasks on the CPUs with higher max
turbo frequencies.
To that end, set up a core priority metric to abstract the core
preferences based on the maximum turbo frequency. In that metric,
the cores with higher maximum turbo frequencies are higher-priority
than the other cores in the same package and that causes the scheduler
to favor them when making load-balancing decisions using the asymmertic
packing approach. At the same time, the priority of SMT threads with a
higher CPU number is reduced so as to avoid scheduling tasks on all of
the threads that belong to a favored core before all of the other cores
have been given a task to run.
The priority metric will be initialized by the P-state driver with the
help of the sched_set_itmt_core_prio() function. The P-state driver
will also determine whether or not ITMT is supported by the platform

The x86 stack dump code is a bit of a mess. dump_trace() uses
callbacks, and each user of it seems to have slightly different
requirements, so there are several slightly different callbacks floating
around.
Also there are some upcoming features which will need more changes to
the stack dump code, including the printing of stack pt_regs, reliable
stack detection for live patching, and a DWARF unwinder. Each of those
features would at least need more callbacks and/or callback interfaces,
resulting in a much bigger mess than what we have today.
Before doing all that, we should try to clean things up and replace
dump_trace() with something cleaner and more flexible.
The new unwinder is a simple state machine which was heavily inspired by
a suggestion from Andy Lutomirski:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CALCETrUbNTqaM2LRyXGRx=kVLRPeY5A3Pc6k4TtQxF320rUT=w@mail.gmail.com
It's also similar to the libunwind API:
http://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/man/libunwind(3).html
Some if its advantages:
- Simplicity: no more callback sprawl and less code duplication.
- Flexibility: it allows the caller to stop and inspect the stack state
at each step in the unwinding process.
- Modularity: the unwinder code, console stack dump code, and stack
metadata analysis code are all better separated so that changing one
of them shouldn't have much of an impact on any of the others.
Two implementations are added which conform to the new unwind interface:
- The frame pointer unwinder which is used for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y.
- The "guess" unwinder which is used for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n. This
isn't an "unwinder" per se. All it does is scan the stack for kernel
text addresses. But with no frame pointers, guesses are better than
nothing in most cases.

Implement arch_klp_init_object_loaded() for x86, which applies
alternatives/paravirt patches. This fixes the order in which relocations
and alternatives/paravirt patches are applied.
Previously, if a patch module had alternatives or paravirt patches,
these were applied first by the module loader before livepatch can apply
per-object relocations. The (buggy) sequence of events was:
(1) Load patch module
(2) Apply alternatives and paravirt patches to patch module
* Note that these are applied to the new functions in the patch module
(3) Apply per-object relocations to patch module when target module loads.
* This clobbers what was written in step 2
This lead to crashes and corruption in general, since livepatch would
overwrite or step on previously applied alternative/paravirt patches.
The correct sequence of events should be:
(1) Load patch module
(2) Apply per-object relocations to patch module
(3) Apply alternatives and paravirt patches to patch module
This is fixed by delaying paravirt/alternatives patching until after
relocations are applied. Any .altinstructions or .parainstructions
sections are prefixed with ".klp.arch.${objname}" and applied in
arch_klp_init_object_loaded().

We have 4 types of x86 platforms that disable RTC:
* Intel MID
* Lguest - uses paravirt
* Xen dom-U - uses paravirt
* x86 on legacy systems annotated with an ACPI legacy flag
We can consolidate all of these into a platform specific legacy
quirk set early in boot through i386_start_kernel() and through
x86_64_start_reservations(). This deals with the RTC quirks which
we can rely on through the hardware subarch, the ACPI check can
be dealt with separately.
For Xen things are bit more complex given that the @X86_SUBARCH_XEN
x86_hardware_subarch is shared on for Xen which uses the PV path for
both domU and dom0. Since the semantics for differentiating between
the two are Xen specific we provide a platform helper to help override
default legacy features -- x86_platform.set_legacy_features(). Use
of this helper is highly discouraged, its only purpose should be
to account for the lack of semantics available within your given
x86_hardware_subarch.
As per 0-day, this bumps the vmlinux size using i386-tinyconfig as
follows:
TOTAL TEXT init.text x86_early_init_platform_quirks()
+70 +62 +62 +43
Only 8 bytes overhead total, as the main increase in size is
all removed via __init.

Reuse module loader code to write relocations, thereby eliminating the need
for architecture specific relocation code in livepatch. Specifically, reuse
the apply_relocate_add() function in the module loader to write relocations
instead of duplicating functionality in livepatch's arch-dependent
klp_write_module_reloc() function.
In order to accomplish this, livepatch modules manage their own relocation
sections (marked with the SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH section flag) and
livepatch-specific symbols (marked with SHN_LIVEPATCH symbol section
index). To apply livepatch relocation sections, livepatch symbols
referenced by relocs are resolved and then apply_relocate_add() is called
to apply those relocations.
In addition, remove x86 livepatch relocation code and the s390
klp_write_module_reloc() function stub. They are no longer needed since
relocation work has been offloaded to module loader.
Lastly, mark the module as a livepatch module so that the module loader
canappropriately identify and initialize it.

Implement the stack depot and provide CONFIG_STACKDEPOT. Stack depot
will allow KASAN store allocation/deallocation stack traces for memory
chunks. The stack traces are stored in a hash table and referenced by
handles which reside in the kasan_alloc_meta and kasan_free_meta
structures in the allocated memory chunks.
IRQ stack traces are cut below the IRQ entry point to avoid unnecessary
duplication.
Right now stackdepot support is only enabled in SLAB allocator. Once
KASAN features in SLAB are on par with those in SLUB we can switch SLUB
to stackdepot as well, thus removing the dependency on SLUB stack
bookkeeping, which wastes a lot of memory.
This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: stack depots" patch originally
prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov.
Joonsoo has said that he plans to reuse the stackdepot code for the
mm/page_owner.c debugging facility.

kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system. A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.
kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to
collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking).
Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
API anticipates additional collection modes. Initially I also
implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch). I've
dropped the second mode for simplicity.
This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side. The complimentary
compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.
We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs
We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting a
random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.
Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat. A
typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an invalid
input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.
kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
insecure. But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.
Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

Code which runs outside the kernel's normal mode of operation often does
unusual things which can cause a static analysis tool like objtool to
emit false positive warnings:
- boot image
- vdso image
- relocation
- realmode
- efi
- head
- purgatory
- modpost
Set OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD for their related files and directories,
which will tell objtool to skip checking them. It's ok to skip them
because they don't affect runtime stack traces.
Also skip the following code which does the right thing with respect to
frame pointers, but is too "special" to be validated by a tool:
- entry
- mcount
Also skip the test_nx module because it modifies its exception handling
table at runtime, which objtool can't understand. Fortunately it's
just a test module so it doesn't matter much.
Currently objtool is the only user of OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD, but it
might eventually be useful for other tools.

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.
And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.
The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.
Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.
Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical
drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().
Summary:
- Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map.
This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
'struct block_device_operations').
For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device
memory will arrive in a later kernel.
- Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.
Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
- Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
- Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
- Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes"

We currently register a platform device for e820 type-12 memory and
register a nvdimm bus beneath it. Registering the platform device
triggers the device-core machinery to probe for a driver, but that
search currently comes up empty. Building the nvdimm-bus registration
into the e820_pmem platform device registration in this way forces
libnvdimm to be built-in. Instead, convert the built-in portion of
CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to simply register a platform device and move the
rest of the logic to the driver for e820_pmem, for the following
reasons:
1/ Letting e820_pmem support be a module allows building and testing
libnvdimm.ko changes without rebooting
2/ All the normal policy around modules can be applied to e820_pmem
(unbind to disable and/or blacklisting the module from loading by
default)
3/ Moving the driver to a generic location and converting it to scan
"iomem_resource" rather than "e820.map" means any other architecture can
take advantage of this simple nvdimm resource discovery mechanism by
registering a resource named "Persistent Memory (legacy)"

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
"There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
collected into the 'x86/core' topic.
The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
end.
The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
have fewer dependencies).
The main changes in this cycle were:
* x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
Gleixner)
- This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
domains:
[IOAPIC domain] -----
|
[MSI domain] --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
| (optional) |
[HPET MSI domain] ----- |
|
[DMAR domain] -----------------------------
|
[Legacy domain] -----------------------------
This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping. It's a clear
separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
and the vector management.
- Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
injection into guests (Feng Wu)
* x86/asm changes:
- Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations. This
is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
Brian Gerst)
- Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)
- Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)
- NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)
* x86/mm changes:
- Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)
- New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
Write-Through cached memory mappings. This is especially
important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)
* x86/ras changes:
- Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)
This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
poisoned data. That means roughly that the hardware marks data
which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
form of a deferred error. It is the OS's responsibility then to
take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
far as possible.
- Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)
- Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)
* x86/platform changes:
- Intel Atom SoC updates
... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
shortlog and the Git log for details"

Pull PMEM driver from Ingo Molnar:
"This is the initial support for the pmem block device driver:
persistent non-volatile memory space mapped into the system's physical
memory space as large physical memory regions.
The driver is based on Intel code, written by Ross Zwisler, with fixes
by Boaz Harrosh, integrated with x86 e820 memory resource management
and tidied up by Christoph Hellwig.
Note that there were two other separate pmem driver submissions to
lkml: but apparently all parties (Ross Zwisler, Boaz Harrosh) are
reasonably happy with this initial version.
This version enables minimal support that enables persistent memory
devices out in the wild to work as block devices, identified through a
magic (non-standard) e820 flag and auto-discovered if
CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY=y, or added explicitly through manipulating the
memory maps via the "memmap=..." boot option with the new, special '!'
modifier character.
Limitations: this is a regular block device, and since the pmem areas
are not struct page backed, they are invisible to the rest of the
system (other than the block IO device), so direct IO to/from pmem
areas, direct mmap() or XIP is not possible yet. The page cache will
also shadow and double buffer pmem contents, etc.
Initial support is for x86"
* 'x86-pmem-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
drivers/block/pmem: Fix 32-bit build warning in pmem_alloc()
drivers/block/pmem: Add a driver for persistent memory
x86/mm: Add support for the non-standard protected e820 type
|
|
Various recent BIOSes support NVDIMMs or ADR using a
non-standard e820 memory type, and Intel supplied reference
Linux code using this type to various vendors.
Wire this e820 table type up to export platform devices for the
pmem driver so that we can use it in Linux.

This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer.
16TB of virtual addressed used for shadow memory. It's located in range
[ffffec0000000000 - fffffc0000000000] between vmemmap and %esp fixup
stacks.
At early stage we map whole shadow region with zero page. Latter, after
pages mapped to direct mapping address range we unmap zero pages from
corresponding shadow (see kasan_map_shadow()) and allocate and map a real
shadow memory reusing vmemmap_populate() function.
Also replace __pa with __pa_nodebug before shadow initialized. __pa with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y make external function call (__phys_addr)
__phys_addr is instrumented, so __asan_load could be called before shadow
area initialized.

This commit introduces code for the live patching core. It implements
an ftrace-based mechanism and kernel interface for doing live patching
of kernel and kernel module functions.
It represents the greatest common functionality set between kpatch and
kgraft and can accept patches built using either method.
This first version does not implement any consistency mechanism that
ensures that old and new code do not run together. In practice, ~90% of
CVEs are safe to apply in this way, since they simply add a conditional
check. However, any function change that can not execute safely with
the old version of the function can _not_ be safely applied in this
version.

Turning it off completely disables vsyscall emulation, saving ~3.5k
for vsyscall_64.c, 4k for vsyscall_emu_64.S (the fake vsyscall
page), some tiny amount of core mm code that supports a gate area,
and possibly 4k for a wasted pagetable. The latter is because the
