Commit 945fd17ab6 ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Sync cpu_entry_area to
initial_page_table") introduced the sync for the initial page table for
32bit.
sync_initial_page_table() uses clone_pgd_range() which does the update for
the kernel page table. If PTI is enabled it also updates the user space
page table counterpart, which is assumed to be in the next page after the
target PGD.
At this point in time 32-bit did not have PTI support, so the user space
page table update was not taking place.
The support for PTI on 32-bit which was introduced later on, did not take
that into account and missed to add the user space counter part for the
initial page table.
As a consequence sync_initial_page_table() overwrites any data which is
located in the page behing initial_page_table causing random failures,
e.g. by corrupting doublefault_tss and wreckaging the doublefault handler
on 32bit.
Fix it by adding a "user" page table right after initial_page_table.

Now that SS:ESP always get saved by SAVE_ALL, this also needs to be
accounted for in xen_iret_crit_fixup(). Otherwise the old_ax value gets
interpreted as EFLAGS, and hence VM86 mode appears to be active all the
time, leading to random "vm86_32: no user_vm86: BAD" log messages alongside
processes randomly crashing.
Since following the previous model (sitting after SAVE_ALL) would further
complicate the code _and_ retain the dependency of xen_iret_crit_fixup() on
frame manipulations done by entry_32.S, switch things around and do the
adjustment ahead of SAVE_ALL.

x86/quirks: Disable HPET on Intel Coffe Lake platforms
Acquire the per-VM slots_lock when zapping all shadow pages as part of
toggling nx_huge_pages. The fast zap algorithm relies on exclusivity
(via slots_lock) to identify obsolete vs. valid shadow pages, because it
uses a single bit for its generation number. Holding slots_lock also
obviates the need to acquire a read lock on the VM's srcu.
Failing to take slots_lock when toggling nx_huge_pages allows multiple
instances of kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast() to run concurrently, as the other
user, KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION, does not take the global kvm_lock.
(kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast() does take kvm->mmu_lock, but it can be
temporarily dropped by kvm_zap_obsolete_pages(), so it is not enough
to enforce exclusivity).
Concurrent fast zap instances causes obsolete shadow pages to be
incorrectly identified as valid due to the single bit generation number
wrapping, which results in stale shadow pages being left in KVM's MMU
and leads to all sorts of undesirable behavior.
The bug is easily confirmed by running with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING and
toggling nx_huge_pages via its module param.
Note, until commit 4ae5acbc4936 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Take slots_lock when
using kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast()", 2019-11-13) the fast zap algorithm used
an ulong-sized generation instead of relying on exclusivity for
correctness, but all callers except the recently added set_nx_huge_pages()
needed to hold slots_lock anyways. Therefore, this patch does not have
to be backported to stable kernels.
Given that toggling nx_huge_pages is by no means a fast path, force it
to conform to the current approach instead of reintroducing the previous
generation count.

Pull x86 TSX Async Abort and iTLB Multihit mitigations from Thomas Gleixner:
"The performance deterioration departement is not proud at all of
presenting the seventh installment of speculation mitigations and
hardware misfeature workarounds:
1) TSX Async Abort (TAA) - 'The Annoying Affair'
TAA is a hardware vulnerability that allows unprivileged
speculative access to data which is available in various CPU
internal buffers by using asynchronous aborts within an Intel TSX
transactional region.
The mitigation depends on a microcode update providing a new MSR
which allows to disable TSX in the CPU. CPUs which have no
microcode update can be mitigated by disabling TSX in the BIOS if
the BIOS provides a tunable.
Newer CPUs will have a bit set which indicates that the CPU is not
vulnerable, but the MSR to disable TSX will be available
nevertheless as it is an architected MSR. That means the kernel
provides the ability to disable TSX on the kernel command line,
which is useful as TSX is a truly useful mechanism to accelerate
side channel attacks of all sorts.
2) iITLB Multihit (NX) - 'No eXcuses'
iTLB Multihit is an erratum where some Intel processors may incur
a machine check error, possibly resulting in an unrecoverable CPU
lockup, when an instruction fetch hits multiple entries in the
instruction TLB. This can occur when the page size is changed
along with either the physical address or cache type. A malicious
guest running on a virtualized system can exploit this erratum to
perform a denial of service attack.
The workaround is that KVM marks huge pages in the extended page
tables as not executable (NX). If the guest attempts to execute in
such a page, the page is broken down into 4k pages which are
marked executable. The workaround comes with a mechanism to
recover these shattered huge pages over time.
Both issues come with full documentation in the hardware
vulnerabilities section of the Linux kernel user's and administrator's
guide.
Thanks to all patch authors and reviewers who had the extraordinary
priviledge to be exposed to this nuisance.
Special thanks to Borislav Petkov for polishing the final TAA patch
set and to Paolo Bonzini for shepherding the KVM iTLB workarounds and
providing also the backports to stable kernels for those!"

Some Coffee Lake platforms have a skewed HPET timer once the SoCs entered
PC10, which in consequence marks TSC as unstable because HPET is used as
watchdog clocksource for TSC.
Harry Pan tried to work around it in the clocksource watchdog code [1]
thereby creating a circular dependency between HPET and TSC. This also
ignores the fact, that HPET is not only unsuitable as watchdog clocksource
on these systems, it becomes unusable in general.
Disable HPET on affected platforms.

Explicitly exempt ZONE_DEVICE pages from kvm_is_reserved_pfn() and
instead manually handle ZONE_DEVICE on a case-by-case basis. For things
like page refcounts, KVM needs to treat ZONE_DEVICE pages like normal
pages, e.g. put pages grabbed via gup(). But for flows such as setting
A/D bits or shifting refcounts for transparent huge pages, KVM needs to
to avoid processing ZONE_DEVICE pages as the flows in question lack the
underlying machinery for proper handling of ZONE_DEVICE pages.
This fixes a hang reported by Adam Borowski[*] in dev_pagemap_cleanup()
when running a KVM guest backed with /dev/dax memory, as KVM straight up
doesn't put any references to ZONE_DEVICE pages acquired by gup().
Note, Dan Williams proposed an alternative solution of doing put_page()
on ZONE_DEVICE pages immediately after gup() in order to simplify the
auditing needed to ensure is_zone_device_page() is called if and only if
the backing device is pinned (via gup()). But that approach would break
kvm_vcpu_{un}map() as KVM requires the page to be pinned from map() 'til
unmap() when accessing guest memory, unlike KVM's secondary MMU, which
coordinates with mmu_notifier invalidations to avoid creating stale
page references, i.e. doesn't rely on pages being pinned.

When vCPU enters block phase, pi_pre_block() inserts vCPU to a per pCPU
linked list of all vCPUs that are blocked on this pCPU. Afterwards, it
changes PID.NV to POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP_VECTOR which its handler
(wakeup_handler()) is responsible to kick (unblock) any vCPU on that
linked list that now has pending posted interrupts.
While vCPU is blocked (in kvm_vcpu_block()), it may be preempted which
will cause vmx_vcpu_pi_put() to set PID.SN. If later the vCPU will be
scheduled to run on a different pCPU, vmx_vcpu_pi_load() will clear
PID.SN but will also *overwrite PID.NDST to this different pCPU*.
Instead of keeping it with original pCPU which vCPU had entered block
phase on.
This results in an issue because when a posted interrupt is delivered, as
the wakeup_handler() will be executed and fail to find blocked vCPU on
its per pCPU linked list of all vCPUs that are blocked on this pCPU.
Which is due to the vCPU being placed on a *different* per pCPU
linked list i.e. the original pCPU in which it entered block phase.
The regression is introduced by commit c112b5f502 ("KVM: x86:
Recompute PID.ON when clearing PID.SN"). Therefore, partially revert
it and reintroduce the condition in vmx_vcpu_pi_load() responsible for
avoiding changing PID.NDST when loading a blocked vCPU.

Commit 17e433b543 ("KVM: Fix leak vCPU's VMCS value into other pCPU")
introduced vmx_dy_apicv_has_pending_interrupt() in order to determine
if a vCPU have a pending posted interrupt. This routine is used by
kvm_vcpu_on_spin() when searching for a a new runnable vCPU to schedule
on pCPU instead of a vCPU doing busy loop.
vmx_dy_apicv_has_pending_interrupt() determines if a
vCPU has a pending posted interrupt solely based on PID.ON. However,
when a vCPU is preempted, vmx_vcpu_pi_put() sets PID.SN which cause
raised posted interrupts to only set bit in PID.PIR without setting
PID.ON (and without sending notification vector), as depicted in VT-d
manual section 5.2.3 "Interrupt-Posting Hardware Operation".
Therefore, checking PID.ON is insufficient to determine if a vCPU has
pending posted interrupts and instead we should also check if there is
some bit set on PID.PIR if PID.SN=1.

adjusted (copy supported MSRs forward to override the unsupported MSRs)
when insmod kvm-{intel,amd}.ko, but it doesn't reset these three arrays
to their initial value when rmmod kvm-{intel,amd}.ko. Thus, at the next
installation, kvm-{intel,amd}.ko will do operations on the modified

So define three constant arrays to hold the initial MSR lists and

For new IBRS_ALL CPUs, the Enhanced IBRS check at the beginning of
cpu_bugs_smt_update() causes the function to return early, unintentionally
skipping the MDS and TAA logic.
This is not a problem for MDS, because there appears to be no overlap
between IBRS_ALL and MDS-affected CPUs. So the MDS mitigation would be
disabled and nothing would need to be done in this function anyway.
But for TAA, the TAA_MSG_SMT string will never get printed on Cascade
Lake and newer.
The check is superfluous anyway: when 'spectre_v2_enabled' is
SPECTRE_V2_IBRS_ENHANCED, 'spectre_v2_user' is always
SPECTRE_V2_USER_NONE, and so the 'spectre_v2_user' switch statement
handles it appropriately by doing nothing. So just remove the check.

The introduction of clocksource_tsc_early broke the functionality of
"tsc=reliable" and "tsc=nowatchdog" command line parameters, since
clocksource_tsc_early is unconditionally registered with
CLOCK_SOURCE_MUST_VERIFY and thus put on the watchdog list.
This can cause the TSC to be declared unstable during boot:
clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU0: Marking clocksource
'tsc-early' as unstable because the skew is too large:
clocksource: 'refined-jiffies' wd_now: fffb7018 wd_last: fffb6e9d

tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to clocksource watchdog
The corresponding elapsed times are cs_nsec=1224152026 and wd_nsec=378942392, so
the watchdog differs from TSC by 0.84 seconds.
This happens when HPET is not available and jiffies are used as the TSC
watchdog instead and the jiffies update is not happening due to lost timer
interrupts in periodic mode, which can happen e.g. with expensive debug
mechanisms enabled or under massive overload conditions in virtualized
environments.
Before the introduction of the early TSC clocksource the command line
parameters "tsc=reliable" and "tsc=nowatchdog" could be used to work around
this issue.
Restore the behaviour by disabling the watchdog if requested on the kernel

The removal of the LDR initialization in the bigsmp_32 APIC code unearthed
a problem in setup_local_APIC().
The code checks unconditionally for a mismatch of the logical APIC id by
comparing the early APIC id which was initialized in get_smp_config() with
the actual LDR value in the APIC.
Due to the removal of the bogus LDR initialization the check now can
trigger on bigsmp_32 APIC systems emitting a warning for every booting
CPU. This is of course a false positive because the APIC is not using
logical destination mode.
Restrict the check and the possibly resulting fixup to systems which are
actually using the APIC in logical destination mode.

The page table pages corresponding to broken down large pages are zapped in
FIFO order, so that the large page can potentially be recovered, if it is
not longer being used for execution. This removes the performance penalty
for walking deeper EPT page tables.
By default, one large page will last about one hour once the guest
reaches a steady state.

With some Intel processors, putting the same virtual address in the TLB
as both a 4 KiB and 2 MiB page can confuse the instruction fetch unit
and cause the processor to issue a machine check resulting in a CPU lockup.
Unfortunately when EPT page tables use huge pages, it is possible for a
malicious guest to cause this situation.
Add a knob to mark huge pages as non-executable. When the nx_huge_pages
parameter is enabled (and we are using EPT), all huge pages are marked as
NX. If the guest attempts to execute in one of those pages, the page is
broken down into 4K pages, which are then marked executable.
This is not an issue for shadow paging (except nested EPT), because then
the host is in control of TLB flushes and the problematic situation cannot
happen. With nested EPT, again the nested guest can cause problems shadow
and direct EPT is treated in the same way.

Some processors may incur a machine check error possibly resulting in an
unrecoverable CPU lockup when an instruction fetch encounters a TLB
multi-hit in the instruction TLB. This can occur when the page size is
changed along with either the physical address or cache type. The relevant
erratum can be found here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205195
There are other processors affected for which the erratum does not fully
disclose the impact.
This issue affects both bare-metal x86 page tables and EPT.
It can be mitigated by either eliminating the use of large pages or by
using careful TLB invalidations when changing the page size in the page
tables.
Just like Spectre, Meltdown, L1TF and MDS, a new bit has been allocated in
MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES (PSCHANGE_MC_NO) and will be set on CPUs which
are mitigated against this issue.

When a mon group is being deleted, rdtgrp->flags is set to RDT_DELETED
in rdtgroup_rmdir_mon() firstly. The structure of rdtgrp will be freed
until rdtgrp->waitcount is dropped to 0 in rdtgroup_kn_unlock() later.
During the window of deleting a mon group, if an application calls
rdtgroup_mondata_show() to read mondata under this mon group,
'rdtgrp' returned from rdtgroup_kn_lock_live() is a NULL pointer when
rdtgrp->flags is RDT_DELETED. And then 'rdtgrp' is passed in this path:
rdtgroup_mondata_show() --> mon_event_read() --> mon_event_count().
Thus it results in NULL pointer dereference in mon_event_count().
Check 'rdtgrp' in rdtgroup_mondata_show(), and return -ENOENT
immediately when reading mondata during the window of deleting a mon
group.

fact VMX already ends up running with EFER.NXE=1 on old processors that lack the

all the conditionals simplifies the code.
SVM does not have similar code, but it should since recent AMD processors do

Currently, kernel fails to boot on some HyperV VMs when using EFI.
And it's a potential issue on all x86 platforms.
It's caused by broken kernel relocation on EFI systems, when below three
conditions are met:
1. Kernel image is not loaded to the default address (LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR)
by the loader.
2. There isn't enough room to contain the kernel, starting from the
default load address (eg. something else occupied part the region).
3. In the memmap provided by EFI firmware, there is a memory region
starts below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR, and suitable for containing the
kernel.
EFI stub will perform a kernel relocation when condition 1 is met. But
due to condition 2, EFI stub can't relocate kernel to the preferred
address, so it fallback to ask EFI firmware to alloc lowest usable memory
region, got the low region mentioned in condition 3, and relocated
kernel there.
It's incorrect to relocate the kernel below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR. This
is the lowest acceptable kernel relocation address.
The first thing goes wrong is in arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_64.S.
Kernel decompression will force use LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR as the output
address if kernel is located below it. Then the relocation before
decompression, which move kernel to the end of the decompression buffer,
will overwrite other memory region, as there is no enough memory there.
To fix it, just don't let EFI stub relocate the kernel to any address
lower than lowest acceptable address.

This saves us writing the IBS control MSR twice when disabling the

I searched revision guides for all families since 10h, and did not

so we isolate the secondary MSR write to family 10h only.
Also unconditionally update the count mask for IBS Op implementations
that have read & writeable current count (CurCnt) fields in addition
to the MaxCnt field. These bits were reserved on prior

There is a general consensus that TSX usage is not largely spread while
the history shows there is a non trivial space for side channel attacks
possible. Therefore the tsx is disabled by default even on platforms
that might have a safe implementation of TSX according to the current
knowledge. This is a fair trade off to make.
There are, however, workloads that really do benefit from using TSX and
updating to a newer kernel with TSX disabled might introduce a
noticeable regressions. This would be especially a problem for Linux
distributions which will provide TAA mitigations.
Introduce config options X86_INTEL_TSX_MODE_OFF, X86_INTEL_TSX_MODE_ON
and X86_INTEL_TSX_MODE_AUTO to control the TSX feature. The config
setting can be overridden by the tsx cmdline options.

TSX Async Abort (TAA) is a side channel vulnerability to the internal
buffers in some Intel processors similar to Microachitectural Data
Sampling (MDS). In this case, certain loads may speculatively pass
invalid data to dependent operations when an asynchronous abort
condition is pending in a TSX transaction.
This includes loads with no fault or assist condition. Such loads may
speculatively expose stale data from the uarch data structures as in
MDS. Scope of exposure is within the same-thread and cross-thread. This
issue affects all current processors that support TSX, but do not have
ARCH_CAP_TAA_NO (bit 8) set in MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES.
On CPUs which have their IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR bit MDS_NO=0,
CPUID.MD_CLEAR=1 and the MDS mitigation is clearing the CPU buffers
using VERW or L1D_FLUSH, there is no additional mitigation needed for
TAA. On affected CPUs with MDS_NO=1 this issue can be mitigated by
disabling the Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX) feature.
A new MSR IA32_TSX_CTRL in future and current processors after a
microcode update can be used to control the TSX feature. There are two
bits in that MSR:
* TSX_CTRL_RTM_DISABLE disables the TSX sub-feature Restricted
Transactional Memory (RTM).
* TSX_CTRL_CPUID_CLEAR clears the RTM enumeration in CPUID. The other
TSX sub-feature, Hardware Lock Elision (HLE), is unconditionally
disabled with updated microcode but still enumerated as present by
CPUID(EAX=7).EBX{bit4}.
The second mitigation approach is similar to MDS which is clearing the
affected CPU buffers on return to user space and when entering a guest.
Relevant microcode update is required for the mitigation to work. More
details on this approach can be found here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/hw-vuln/mds.html
The TSX feature can be controlled by the "tsx" command line parameter.
If it is force-enabled then "Clear CPU buffers" (MDS mitigation) is
deployed. The effective mitigation state can be read from sysfs.

Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX) may be used on certain
processors as part of a speculative side channel attack. A microcode
update for existing processors that are vulnerable to this attack will
add a new MSR - IA32_TSX_CTRL to allow the system administrator the
option to disable TSX as one of the possible mitigations.
The CPUs which get this new MSR after a microcode upgrade are the ones
which do not set MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES.MDS_NO (bit 5) because those
CPUs have CPUID.MD_CLEAR, i.e., the VERW implementation which clears all
CPU buffers takes care of the TAA case as well.
[ Note that future processors that are not vulnerable will also
support the IA32_TSX_CTRL MSR. ]
Add defines for the new IA32_TSX_CTRL MSR and its bits.
TSX has two sub-features:
1. Restricted Transactional Memory (RTM) is an explicitly-used feature
where new instructions begin and end TSX transactions.
2. Hardware Lock Elision (HLE) is implicitly used when certain kinds of
"old" style locks are used by software.
Bit 7 of the IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES indicates the presence of the
IA32_TSX_CTRL MSR.
There are two control bits in IA32_TSX_CTRL MSR:
Bit 0: When set, it disables the Restricted Transactional Memory (RTM)
sub-feature of TSX (will force all transactions to abort on the
XBEGIN instruction).
Bit 1: When set, it disables the enumeration of the RTM and HLE feature
(i.e. it will make CPUID(EAX=7).EBX{bit4} and
CPUID(EAX=7).EBX{bit11} read as 0).
The other TSX sub-feature, Hardware Lock Elision (HLE), is
unconditionally disabled by the new microcode but still enumerated
as present by CPUID(EAX=7).EBX{bit4}, unless disabled by
IA32_TSX_CTRL_MSR[1] - TSX_CTRL_CPUID_CLEAR.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two fixes for the VMWare guest support:
- Unbreak VMWare platform detection which got wreckaged by converting
an integer constant to a string constant.
- Fix the clang build of the VMWAre hypercall by explicitely
specifying the ouput register for INL instead of using the short
form"

x86/cpu/vmware: Fix platform detection VMWARE_PORT macro
x86/cpu/vmware: Use the full form of INL in VMWARE_HYPERCALL, for clang/llvm
Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of perf fixes:
kernel:
- Unbreak the tracking of auxiliary buffer allocations which got
imbalanced causing recource limit failures.
- Fix the fallout of splitting of ToPA entries which missed to shift
the base entry PA correctly.
- Use the correct context to lookup the AUX event when unmapping the
associated AUX buffer so the event can be stopped and the buffer
reference dropped.
tools:
- Fix buildiid-cache mode setting in copyfile_mode_ns() when copying
/proc/kcore
- Fix freeing id arrays in the event list so the correct event is
closed.
- Sync sched.h anc kvm.h headers with the kernel sources.
- Link jvmti against tools/lib/ctype.o to have weak strlcpy().
- Fix multiple memory and file descriptor leaks, found by coverity in
perf annotate.
- Fix leaks in error handling paths in 'perf c2c', 'perf kmem', found
by a static analysis tool"
