Returning to userspace is tricky: IRET can fail, and ESPFIX can
rearrange the stack prior to IRET.
The NMI nesting fixup relies on a precise stack layout and
atomic IRET. Rather than trying to teach the NMI nesting fixup
to handle ESPFIX and failed IRET, punt: run NMIs that came from
user mode on the normal kernel stack.
This will make some nested NMIs visible to C code, but the C
code is okay with that.
As a side effect, this should speed up perf: it eliminates an
RDMSR when NMIs come from user mode.

32-bit kernels handle nested NMIs in C. Enable the exact same
handling on 64-bit kernels as well. This isn't currently
necessary, but it will become necessary once the asm code starts
allowing limited nesting.

After commit (0c4109bec0 'x86/fpu/xstate: Fix up bad get_xsave_addr()
assumptions'), there is no assumption an xsave bit is present in the
hardware (pcntxt_mask) that it is always present in a given xsave buffer.
An enabled state to be present on 'pcntxt_mask', but *not* in 'xstate_bv'
could happen when the last 'xsave' did not request that this feature be
saved (unlikely) or because the "init optimization" caused it to not be
saved. This patch kill the assumption.

Currently guest MTRR is avoided if kvm_is_reserved_pfn returns true.
However, the guest could prefer a different page type than UC for
such pages. A good example is that pass-throughed VGA frame buffer is
not always UC as host expected.
This patch enables full use of virtual guest MTRRs.

Right now, NPT page attributes are not used, and the final page
attribute depends solely on gPAT (which however is not synced
correctly), the guest MTRRs and the guest page attributes.
However, we can do better by mimicking what is done for VMX.
In the absence of PCI passthrough, the guest PAT can be ignored
and the page attributes can be just WB. If passthrough is being
used, instead, keep respecting the guest PAT, and emulate the guest
MTRRs through the PAT field of the nested page tables.
The only snag is that WP memory cannot be emulated correctly,
because Linux's default PAT setting only includes the other types.

If there are no assigned devices, the guest PAT are not providing
any useful information and can be overridden to writeback; VMX
always does this because it has the "IPAT" bit in its extended
page table entries, but SVM does not have anything similar.
Hook into VFIO and legacy device assignment so that they
provide this information to KVM.

fpu_activate is called outside of vcpu_load(), which means it should not
touch VMCS, but fpu_activate needs to. Avoid the call by moving it to a

Jin debugged a nasty cpu hotplug race which results in leaking a irq
vector on the newly hotplugged cpu.
cpu N cpu M
native_cpu_up device_shutdown
do_boot_cpu free_msi_irqs
start_secondary arch_teardown_msi_irqs
smp_callin default_teardown_msi_irqs
setup_vector_irq arch_teardown_msi_irq
__setup_vector_irq native_teardown_msi_irq
lock(vector_lock) destroy_irq
install vectors
unlock(vector_lock)
lock(vector_lock)
---> __clear_irq_vector
unlock(vector_lock)
lock(vector_lock)
set_cpu_online
unlock(vector_lock)
This leaves the irq vector(s) which are torn down on CPU M stale in
the vector array of CPU N, because CPU M does not see CPU N online
yet. There is a similar issue with concurrent newly setup interrupts.
The alloc/free protection of irq descriptors does not prevent the
above race, because it merily prevents interrupt descriptors from
going away or changing concurrently.
Prevent this by moving the call to setup_vector_irq() into the
vector_lock held region which protects set_cpu_online():
cpu N cpu M
native_cpu_up device_shutdown
do_boot_cpu free_msi_irqs
start_secondary arch_teardown_msi_irqs
smp_callin default_teardown_msi_irqs
lock(vector_lock) arch_teardown_msi_irq
setup_vector_irq()
__setup_vector_irq native_teardown_msi_irq
install vectors destroy_irq
set_cpu_online
unlock(vector_lock)
lock(vector_lock)
__clear_irq_vector
unlock(vector_lock)
So cpu M either sees the cpu N online before clearing the vector or
cpu N installs the vectors after cpu M has cleared it.

'115200n8'
When I enable early_printk on a kernel, I cut and paste the
console= input and add to earlyprintk parameter. But I notice
recently that ktest has not been detecting triple faults. The
way it detects it, is by seeing the kernel banner "Linux version
.." with a different kernel version pop up. Then I noticed that
early printk was no longer working on my console, which was why
ktest was not seeing it.
I bisected it down and it was added to 4.0 with this commit:
ea9e9d802902 ("Specify PCI based UART for earlyprintk")
because it converted the simple_strtoul() that converts the baud
number into a kstrtoul(). The problem with this is, I had as my
baud rate, 115200n8 (acceptable for console=ttyS0), but because
of the "n8", the kstrtoul() doesn't parse the baud rate and
returns an error, which sets the baud rate to the default 9600.
This explains the garbage on my screen.
Now, earlyprintk= kernel parameter does not say it accepts that
format. Thus, one answer would simply be me changing my kernel
parameters to remove the "n8" since it isn't parsed anyway. But
I wonder if other people run into this, and it seems strange
that the two consoles for serial accepts different input.
I could also extend this to have earlyprintk do something with
that "n8" or whatever it has and have it match the console
parsing (which, BTW, still uses simple_strtoul(), as I guess it
has to).
This patch just makes my old kernel parameter parsing work like
it use to.
Although, simple_strtoull() is considered obsolete, it is the
only standard string parsing function that parses a number that
is attached to text. Ironically, commit ea9e9d802902 also added
several calls to simple_strtoul()!

As we alloc pages with GFP_KERNEL in init_espfix_ap() which is
called before we enable local irqs, so the lockdep sub-system
would (correctly) trigger a warning about the potentially
blocking API.
So we allocate them on the boot CPU side when the secondary CPU is
brought up by the boot CPU, and hand them over to the secondary
CPU.
And we use alloc_pages_node() with the secondary CPU's node, to
make sure the espfix stack is NUMA-local to the CPU that is
going to use it.

While populating zero shadow wrong bits in upper level page
tables used. __PAGE_KERNEL_RO that was used for pgd/pud/pmd has
_PAGE_BIT_GLOBAL set. Global bit is present only in the lowest
level of the page translation hierarchy (ptes), and it should be
zero in upper levels.
This bug seems doesn't cause any troubles on Intel cpus, while
on AMDs it cause kernel crash on boot.

load_cr3() doesn't cause tlb_flush if PGE enabled.
This may cause tons of false positive reports spamming the
kernel to death.
To fix this __flush_tlb_all() should be called explicitly
after CR3 changed.

Currently KASAN shadow region page tables created without
respect of physical offset (phys_base). This causes kernel halt
when phys_base is not zero.
So let's initialize KASAN shadow region page tables in
kasan_early_init() using __pa_nodebug() which considers
phys_base.
This patch also separates x86_64_start_kernel() from KASAN low
level details by moving kasan_map_early_shadow(init_level4_pgt)
into kasan_early_init().
Remove the comment before clear_bss() which stopped bringing
much profit to the code readability. Otherwise describing all
the new order dependencies would be too verbose.

Currently x86_64_start_kernel() has two KASAN related
function calls. The first call maps shadow to early_level4_pgt,
the second maps shadow to init_level4_pgt.
If we move clear_page(init_level4_pgt) earlier, we could hide
KASAN low level detail from generic x86_64 initialization code.
The next patch will do it.

Commit 0a196848ca36 ("perf: Fix arch_perf_out_copy_user default"),
changes copy_from_user_nmi() to return the number of
remaining bytes so that it behave like copy_from_user().
Unfortunately, when the range is outside of the process
memory, the return value is still the number of byte
copied, eg. 0, instead of the remaining bytes.
As all users of copy_from_user_nmi() were modified as
part of commit 0a196848ca36, the function should be
fixed to return the total number of bytes if range is
not correct.

If it takes longer than 12us to read the PIT counter lsb/msb,
then the error margin will never fall below 500ppm within 50ms,
and Fast TSC calibration will always fail.
This patch detects when that will happen and fails fast. Note
the failure message is not printed in that case because:
1. it will always happen on that class of hardware
2. the absence of the message is more informative than its
presence

Jan Kara and Thomas Gleixner reported boot crashes in the FPU
code:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP
RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81048a6c>] [<ffffffff81048a6c>] mxcsr_feature_mask_init+0x1c/0x40
2b:* 0f ae 85 00 fe ff ff fxsave -0x200(%rbp)
and bisected it down to the following FPU commit:
91a8c2a5b43f ("x86/fpu: Clean up and fix MXCSR handling")
The reason is that the on-stack FPU registers state variable,
used by the FXSAVE instruction, did not have the required
minimum alignment of 16 bytes, causing the general protection
fault.
This is most likely a GCC bug in older GCC versions, but the
offending commit also added a bogus extra 32-byte alignment
(which GCC ignored too).
So fix this bug by making the variable static again, but also
mark it __initdata this time, because fpu__init_system_mxcsr()
is now an __init function.

Pull init.h/module.h fragility fixes from Paul Gortmaker:
"Fixup various init.h misuses that are fragile wrt code moving to
module.h
What started as a removal of no longer required include <linux/init.h>
due to the earlier __cpuinit and __devinit removal led to the
observation that some module specfic support was living in init.h
itself, thus preventing the full removal from introducing compile
regressions.
This series includes a few final fixups needed prior to the relocation
of the modular init code from <init.h> to <module.h>. These are
things that weren't easily categorized into any of the other previous
series categories already requested for pull.
That said, each fixup branch (including this one) is independent and
there are no ordering constraints. Only the final code relocation
(which is NOT in this pull) requires that all my cleanup branches be
merged first"

Pull module_init replacement part two from Paul Gortmaker:
"Replace module_init with appropriate alternate initcall in non
modules.
This series converts non-modular code that is using the module_init()
call to hook itself into the system to instead use one of our
alternate priority initcalls.
Unlike the previous series that used device_initcall and hence was a
runtime no-op, these commits change to one of the alternate initcalls,
because (a) we have them and (b) it seems like the right thing to do.
For example, it would seem logical to use arch_initcall for arch
specific setup code and fs_initcall for filesystem setup code.
This does mean however, that changes in the init ordering will be
taking place, and so there is a small risk that some kind of implicit
init ordering issue may lie uncovered. But I think it is still better
to give these ones sensible priorities than to just assign them all to
device_initcall in order to exactly preserve the old ordering.
Thad said, we have already made similar changes in core kernel code in
commit c96d6660dc65 ("kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of
module_init in core code") without any regressions reported, so this
type of change isn't without precedent. It has also got the same
local testing and linux-next coverage as all the other pull requests
that I'm sending for this merge window have got.
Once again, there is an unused module_exit function removal that shows
up as an outlier upon casual inspection of the diffstat"

Pull module_init replacement part one from Paul Gortmaker:
"Replace module_init with equivalent device_initcall in non modules.
This series of commits converts non-modular code that is using the
module_init() call to hook itself into the system to instead use
device_initcall().
The conversion is a runtime no-op, since module_init actually becomes
__initcall in the non-modular case, and that in turn gets mapped onto
device_initcall. A couple files show a larger negative diffstat,
representing ones that had a module_exit function that we remove here
vs previously relying on the linker to dispose of it.
We make this conversion now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future.
The files changed here are just limited to those that would otherwise
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, in order to avoid
a compile fail, as testing has shown"

command-line.
Any parameter passed after '--' in the kernel command-line will not be
parsed by the kernel at all, instead it will be passed directly to init
process.
Currently the kernel appends elfcorehdr=<paddr> to the cmdline passed from
kexec load, and if this command-line is used to pass parameters to init
process this means that 'elfcorehdr' will not be parsed as a kernel
parameter at all which will be a problem for vmcore subsystem since it
will know nothing about the location of the ELF structure!
Prepending 'elfcorehdr' instead of appending it fixes this problem since
it ensures that it always comes before '--' and so it's always parsed as a
kernel command-line parameter.
Even with this patch things can still go wrong if 'CONFIG_CMDLINE' was
also used to embedd a command-line to the crash dump kernel and this
command-line contains '--' since the current behavior of the kernel is to
actually append the boot loader command-line to the embedded command-line.
