The Performance and Energy Bias Hint (EPB) is expected to be set by
user space through the generic MSR interface, but that interface is
not particularly nice and there are security concerns regarding it,
so it is not always available.
For this reason, add a sysfs interface for reading and updating the
EPB, in the form of a new attribute, energy_perf_bias, located
under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/power/ for online CPUs that
support the EPB feature.

The current handling of MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS in the kernel is
problematic, because it may cause changes made by user space to that
MSR (with the help of the x86_energy_perf_policy tool, for example)
to be lost every time a CPU goes offline and then back online as well
as during system-wide power management transitions into sleep states
and back into the working state.
The first problem is that if the current EPB value for a CPU going
online is 0 ('performance'), the kernel will change it to 6 ('normal')
regardless of whether or not this is the first bring-up of that CPU.
That also happens during system-wide resume from sleep states
(including, but not limited to, hibernation). However, the EPB may
have been adjusted by user space this way and the kernel should not
blindly override that setting.
The second problem is that if the platform firmware resets the EPB
values for any CPUs during system-wide resume from a sleep state,
the kernel will not restore their previous EPB values that may
have been set by user space before the preceding system-wide
suspend transition. Again, that behavior may at least be confusing
from the user space perspective.
In order to address these issues, rework the handling of
MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS so that the EPB value is saved on CPU
offline and restored on CPU online as well as (for the boot CPU)
during the syscore stages of system-wide suspend and resume
transitions, respectively.
However, retain the policy by which the EPB is set to 6 ('normal')
on the first bring-up of each CPU if its initial value is 0, based
on the observation that 0 may mean 'not initialized' just as well as
'performance' in that case.
While at it, move the MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS handling code into
a separate file and document it in Documentation/admin-guide.
Fixes: abe48b1082 (x86, intel, power: Initialize MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS)
Fixes: b51ef52df7 (x86/cpu: Restore MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS after resume)

Currently, the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot parameter requires that a specific
list of CPUs be specified, and has no way to say "all of them".
As noted by user RavFX in a comment to Phoronix topic 1002538, this
is an inconvenient side effect of the removal of the RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL
Kconfig option. This commit therefore enables the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot
parameter to be given the string "all", as in "rcu_nocbs=all" to specify
that all CPUs on the system are to have their RCU callbacks offloaded.
Another approach would be to make cpulist_parse() check for "all", but
there are uses of cpulist_parse() that do other checking, which could
conflict with an "all". This commit therefore focuses on the specific
use of cpulist_parse() in rcu_nocb_setup().
Just a note to other people who would like changes to Linux-kernel RCU:
If you send your requests to me directly, they might get fixed somewhat
faster. RavFX's comment was posted on January 22, 2018 and I first saw
it on March 5, 2019. And the only reason that I found it -at- -all- was
that I was looking for projects using RCU, and my search engine showed
me that Phoronix comment quite by accident. Your choice, though! ;-)

Now that the mitigations are in place, add a command line parameter to
control the mitigation, a mitigation selector function and a SMT update
mechanism.
This is the minimal straight forward initial implementation which just
provides an always on/off mode. The command line parameter is:
mds=[full|off]
This is consistent with the existing mitigations for other speculative
hardware vulnerabilities.
The idle invocation is dynamically updated according to the SMT state of
the system similar to the dynamic update of the STIBP mitigation. The idle
mitigation is limited to CPUs which are only affected by MSBDS and not any
other variant, because the other variants cannot be mitigated on SMT
enabled systems.

Currently THP allocation events data is fairly opaque, since you can
only get it system-wide. This patch makes it easier to reason about
transparent hugepage behaviour on a per-memcg basis.
For anonymous THP-backed pages, we already have MEMCG_RSS_HUGE in v1,
which is used for v1's rss_huge [sic]. This is reused here as it's
fairly involved to untangle NR_ANON_THPS right now to make it per-memcg,
since right now some of this is delegated to rmap before we have any
memcg actually assigned to the page. It's a good idea to rework that,
but let's leave untangling THP allocation for a future patch.

PG_balloon was introduced to implement page migration/compaction for
pages inflated in virtio-balloon. Nowadays, it is only a marker that a
page is part of virtio-balloon and therefore logically offline.
We also want to make use of this flag in other balloon drivers - for
inflated pages or when onlining a section but keeping some pages offline
(e.g. used right now by XEN and Hyper-V via set_online_page_callback()).
We are going to expose this flag to dump tools like makedumpfile. But
instead of exposing PG_balloon, let's generalize the concept of marking
pages as logically offline, so it can be reused for other purposes later
on.
Rename PG_balloon to PG_offline. This is an indicator that the page is
logically offline, the content stale and that it should not be touched
(e.g. a hypervisor would have to allocate backing storage in order for
the guest to dump an unused page). We can then e.g. exclude such pages
from dumps.
We replace and reuse KPF_BALLOON (23), as this shouldn't really harm
(and for now the semantics stay the same). In following patches, we
will make use of this bit also in other balloon drivers. While at it,
document PGTABLE.

The netfilter conflicts were rather simple overlapping
changes.
However, the cls_tcindex.c stuff was a bit more complex.
On the 'net' side, Cong is fixing several races and memory
leaks. Whilst on the 'net-next' side we have Vlad adding
the rtnl-ness support.
What I've decided to do, in order to resolve this, is revert the
conversion over to using a workqueue that Cong did, bringing us back
to pure RCU. I did it this way because I believe that either Cong's
races don't apply with have Vlad did things, or Cong will have to
implement the race fix slightly differently.

Asynchronous driver probing can help much on kernel fastboot, and
this option can provide a flexible way to optimize and quickly verify
async driver probe.
Also it will help in below cases:
* Some driver actually covers several families of HWs, some of which
could use async probing while others don't. So we can't simply
turn on the PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS flag in driver, but use this
cmdline option, like igb driver async patch discussed at
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg545986.html
* For SOC (System on Chip) with multiple spi or i2c controllers, most
of the slave spi/i2c devices will be assigned with fixed controller
number, while async probing may make those controllers get different
index for each boot, which prevents those controller drivers to be
async probed. For platforms not using these spi/i2c slave devices,
they can use this cmdline option to benefit from the async probing.

Move the x86 EFI earlyprintk implementation to a shared location under
drivers/firmware and tweak it slightly so we can expose it as an earlycon
implementation (which is generic) rather than earlyprintk (which is only
implemented for a few architectures)
This also involves switching to write-combine mappings by default (which
is required on ARM since device mappings lack memory semantics, and so
memcpy/memset may not be used on them), and adding support for shared
memory framebuffers on cache coherent non-x86 systems (which do not
tolerate mismatched attributes).
Note that 32-bit ARM does not populate its struct screen_info early
enough for earlycon=efifb to work, so it is disabled there.

Commit 765b6a98c1 ("iommu/vt-d: Enumerate the scalable
mode capability") enables VT-d scalable mode if hardware
advertises the capability. As we will bring up different
features and use cases to upstream in different patch
series, it will leave some intermediate kernel versions
which support partial features. Hence, end user might run
into problems when they use such kernels on bare metals
or virtualization environments.
This leaves scalable mode default off and end users could
turn it on with "intel-iommu=sm_on" only when they have
clear ideas about which scalable features are supported
in the kernel.

SafeSetID gates the setid family of syscalls to restrict UID/GID
transitions from a given UID/GID to only those approved by a
system-wide whitelist. These restrictions also prohibit the given
UIDs/GIDs from obtaining auxiliary privileges associated with
CAP_SET{U/G}ID, such as allowing a user to set up user namespace UID
mappings. For now, only gating the set*uid family of syscalls is
supported, with support for set*gid coming in a future patch set.

The venerable menu governor does some things that are quite
questionable in my view.
First, it includes timer wakeups in the pattern detection data and
mixes them up with wakeups from other sources which in some cases
causes it to expect what essentially would be a timer wakeup in a
time frame in which no timer wakeups are possible (because it knows
the time until the next timer event and that is later than the
expected wakeup time).
Second, it uses the extra exit latency limit based on the predicted
idle duration and depending on the number of tasks waiting on I/O,
even though those tasks may run on a different CPU when they are
woken up. Moreover, the time ranges used by it for the sleep length
correction factors depend on whether or not there are tasks waiting
on I/O, which again doesn't imply anything in particular, and they
are not correlated to the list of available idle states in any way
whatever.
Also, the pattern detection code in menu may end up considering
values that are too large to matter at all, in which cases running
it is a waste of time.
A major rework of the menu governor would be required to address
these issues and the performance of at least some workloads (tuned
specifically to the current behavior of the menu governor) is likely
to suffer from that. It is thus better to introduce an entirely new
governor without them and let everybody use the governor that works
better with their actual workloads.
The new governor introduced here, the timer events oriented (TEO)
governor, uses the same basic strategy as menu: it always tries to
find the deepest idle state that can be used in the given conditions.
However, it applies a different approach to that problem.
First, it doesn't use "correction factors" for the time till the
closest timer, but instead it tries to correlate the measured idle
duration values with the available idle states and use that
information to pick up the idle state that is most likely to "match"
the upcoming CPU idle interval.
Second, it doesn't take the number of "I/O waiters" into account at
all and the pattern detection code in it avoids taking timer wakeups
into account. It also only uses idle duration values less than the
current time till the closest timer (with the tick excluded) for that
purpose.

Add a section about decoding /proc/sys/kernel/tainted, create a more
understandable intro and a hopefully explain better the tainted flags in
bugs, oops or panics messages. Only thing missing then is a table that
quickly describes the various bits and taint flags before going into more
detail, so add that as well.
That table is partly based on a section from Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt,
but a bit more compact. To avoid confusion I added the shortened version to
kernel.txt; the same table is used in three different places now:
./tools/debugging/kernel-chktaint,
Documentation/admin-guide/tainted-kernels.rst and
Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt
During review of v1 (see above) a number of existing issues with the text
were raised, like outdated usages as well as incomplete or missing
descriptions. Address most of those as well.

Back in 2007 I made what turned out to be a rather serious
mistake in the implementation of the Smack security module.
The SELinux module used an interface in /proc to manipulate
the security context on processes. Rather than use a similar
interface, I used the same interface. The AppArmor team did
likewise. Now /proc/.../attr/current will tell you the
security "context" of the process, but it will be different
depending on the security module you're using.
This patch provides a subdirectory in /proc/.../attr for
Smack. Smack user space can use the "current" file in
this subdirectory and never have to worry about getting
SELinux attributes by mistake. Programs that use the
old interface will continue to work (or fail, as the case
may be) as before.
The proposed S.A.R.A security module is dependent on
the mechanism to create its own attr subdirectory.
The original implementation is by Kees Cook.

- I mis-tagged the 'drivers' branch, and missed 3 patches. Merged in
here. They're for a driver for the PL353 SRAM controller and a build
fix for the qualcomm scm driver.
- A new platform, RDA Micro RDA8810PL (Cortex-A5 w/ integrated Vivante
GPU, 256MB RAM, Wifi). This includes some acked platform-specific
drivers (serial, etc). This also include DTs for two boards with this
SoC, OrangePi 2G and OrangePi i86.
- i.MX8 is another new platform (NXP, 4x Cortex-A53 + Cortex-M4, 4K
video playback offload). This is the first i.MX 64-bit SoC.
- Some minor updates to Samsung boards (adding a few peripherals in

Kernel panic issues are always painful to debug, partially because it's
not easy to get enough information of the context when panic happens.
And we have ramoops and kdump for that, while this commit tries to
provide a easier way to show the system info by adding a cmdline
parameter, referring some idea from sysrq handler.

Here is the big set of char and misc driver patches for 4.21-rc1.
Lots of different types of driver things in here, as this tree seems to
be the "collection of various driver subsystems not big enough to have
their own git tree" lately.
Anyway, some highlights of the changes in here:
- binderfs: is it a rule that all driver subsystems will eventually
grow to have their own filesystem? Binder now has one to handle the
use of it in containerized systems. This was discussed at the
Plumbers conference a few months ago and knocked into mergable shape
very fast by Christian Brauner. Who also has signed up to be
another binder maintainer, showing a distinct lack of good judgement :)
- binder updates and fixes
- mei driver updates
- fpga driver updates and additions
- thunderbolt driver updates
- soundwire driver updates
- extcon driver updates
- nvmem driver updates
- hyper-v driver updates
- coresight driver updates
- pvpanic driver additions and reworking for more device support
- lp driver updates. Yes really, it's _finally_ moved to the proper
parallal port driver model, something I never thought I would see

Merge tag 'for-4.21/block-20181221' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for block/storage for 4.21.
Larger than usual, it was a busy round with lots of goodies queued up.
Most notable is the removal of the old IO stack, which has been a long
time coming. No new features for a while, everything coming in this
week has all been fixes for things that were previously merged.
This contains:
- Use atomic counters instead of semaphores for mtip32xx (Arnd)
- Cleanup of the mtip32xx request setup (Christoph)
- Fix for circular locking dependency in loop (Jan, Tetsuo)
- bcache (Coly, Guoju, Shenghui)
* Optimizations for writeback caching
* Various fixes and improvements
- nvme (Chaitanya, Christoph, Sagi, Jay, me, Keith)
* host and target support for NVMe over TCP
* Error log page support
* Support for separate read/write/poll queues
* Much improved polling
* discard OOM fallback
* Tracepoint improvements
- lightnvm (Hans, Hua, Igor, Matias, Javier)
* Igor added packed metadata to pblk. Now drives without metadata
per LBA can be used as well.
* Fix from Geert on uninitialized value on chunk metadata reads.
* Fixes from Hans and Javier to pblk recovery and write path.
* Fix from Hua Su to fix a race condition in the pblk recovery
code.
* Scan optimization added to pblk recovery from Zhoujie.
* Small geometry cleanup from me.
- Conversion of the last few drivers that used the legacy path to
blk-mq (me)
- Removal of legacy IO path in SCSI (me, Christoph)
- Removal of legacy IO stack and schedulers (me)
- Support for much better polling, now without interrupts at all.
blk-mq adds support for multiple queue maps, which enables us to
have a map per type. This in turn enables nvme to have separate
completion queues for polling, which can then be interrupt-less.
Also means we're ready for async polled IO, which is hopefully
coming in the next release.
- Killing of (now) unused block exports (Christoph)
- Unification of the blk-rq-qos and blk-wbt wait handling (Josef)
- Support for zoned testing with null_blk (Masato)
- sx8 conversion to per-host tag sets (Christoph)
- IO priority improvements (Damien)
- mq-deadline zoned fix (Damien)
- Ref count blkcg series (Dennis)
- Lots of blk-mq improvements and speedups (me)
- sbitmap scalability improvements (me)
- Make core inflight IO accounting per-cpu (Mikulas)
- Export timeout setting in sysfs (Weiping)
- Cleanup the direct issue path (Jianchao)
- Export blk-wbt internals in block debugfs for easier debugging
(Ming)
- Lots of other fixes and improvements"

...
It can be useful to inhibit all cgroup1 hierarchies especially during
transition and for debugging. cgroup_no_v1 can block hierarchies with
controllers which leaves out the named hierarchies. Expand it to
cover the named hierarchies so that "cgroup_no_v1=all,named" disables
all cgroup1 hierarchies.

Pull selinux patches from Paul Moore:
"I already used my best holiday pull request lines in the audit pull
request, so this one is going to be a bit more boring, sorry about
that. To make up for this, we do have a birthday of sorts to
celebrate: SELinux turns 18 years old this December. Perhaps not the
most exciting thing in the world for most people, but I think it's
safe to say that anyone reading this email doesn't exactly fall into
the "most people" category.
Back to business and the pull request itself:
Ondrej has five patches in this pull request and I lump them into
three categories: one patch to always allow submounts (using similar
logic to elsewhere in the kernel), one to fix some issues with the
SELinux policydb, and the others to cleanup and improve the SELinux
sidtab.
The other patches from Alexey and Petr and trivial fixes that are
adequately described in their respective subject lines.
With this last pull request of the year, I want to thank everyone who
has contributed patches, testing, and reviews to the SELinux project
this year, and the past 18 years. Like any good open source effort,
SELinux is only as good as the community which supports it, and I'm
very happy that we have the community we do - thank you all!"

Swap storage is restricted to max_swapfile_size (~16TB on x86_64) whenever
the system is deemed affected by L1TF vulnerability. Even though the limit
is quite high for most deployments it seems to be too restrictive for
deployments which are willing to live with the mitigation disabled.
We have a customer to deploy 8x 6,4TB PCIe/NVMe SSD swap devices which is
clearly out of the limit.
Drop the swap restriction when l1tf=off is specified. It also doesn't make
much sense to warn about too much memory for the l1tf mitigation when it is
forcefully disabled by the administrator.

The Intel vt-d spec rev3.0 introduces a new translation
mode called scalable mode, which enables PASID-granular
translations for first level, second level, nested and
pass-through modes. At the same time, the previous
Extended Context (ECS) mode is deprecated (no production
ever implements ECS).
This patch adds enumeration for Scalable Mode and removes
the deprecated ECS enumeration. It provides a boot time
option to disable scalable mode even hardware claims to
support it.

Recent systems with Thunderbolt ports may support IOMMU natively. In
practice this means that Thunderbolt connected devices are placed behind
an IOMMU during the whole time it is connected (including during boot)
making Thunderbolt security levels redundant. This is called Kernel DMA
protection [1] by Microsoft.
Some of these systems still have Thunderbolt security level set to
"user" in order to support OS downgrade (the older version of the OS
might not support IOMMU based DMA protection so connecting a device
still relies on user approval).
Export this information to userspace by introducing a new sysfs
attribute (iommu_dma_protection). Based on it userspace tools can make
more accurate decision whether or not authorize the connected device.
In addition update Thunderbolt documentation regarding IOMMU based DMA
protection.

Pull STIBP fallout fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"The performance destruction department finally got it's act together
and came up with a cure for the STIPB regression:
- Provide a command line option to control the spectre v2 user space
mitigations. Default is either seccomp or prctl (if seccomp is
disabled in Kconfig). prctl allows mitigation opt-in, seccomp
enables the migitation for sandboxed processes.
- Rework the code to handle the conditional STIBP/IBPB control and
remove the now unused ptrace_may_access_sched() optimization
attempt
- Disable STIBP automatically when SMT is disabled
- Optimize the switch_to() logic to avoid MSR writes and invocations
of __switch_to_xtra().
- Make the asynchronous speculation TIF updates synchronous to
prevent stale mitigation state.
As a general cleanup this also makes retpoline directly depend on
compiler support and removes the 'minimal retpoline' option which just
pretended to provide some form of security while providing none"

shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like
users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others.
With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set
from the commandline, this is a challenge. Do the following things to
make it easier:
1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros
to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled
unless a user requests it at boot-time.
To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=.
2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs
when the feature is disabled.
In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says:
: The following is a comparision using CONFIG_PSI=n as a baseline against
: your patch and a vanilla kernel

If 'prctl' mode of user space protection from spectre v2 is selected
on the kernel command-line, STIBP and IBPB are applied on tasks which
restrict their indirect branch speculation via prctl.
SECCOMP enables the SSBD mitigation for sandboxed tasks already, so it
makes sense to prevent spectre v2 user space to user space attacks as
well.
The Intel mitigation guide documents how STIPB works:
Setting bit 1 (STIBP) of the IA32_SPEC_CTRL MSR on a logical processor
prevents the predicted targets of indirect branches on any logical
processor of that core from being controlled by software that executes
(or executed previously) on another logical processor of the same core.
Ergo setting STIBP protects the task itself from being attacked from a task
running on a different hyper-thread and protects the tasks running on
different hyper-threads from being attacked.
While the document suggests that the branch predictors are shielded between
the logical processors, the observed performance regressions suggest that
STIBP simply disables the branch predictor more or less completely. Of
course the document wording is vague, but the fact that there is also no
requirement for issuing IBPB when STIBP is used points clearly in that
direction. The kernel still issues IBPB even when STIBP is used until Intel
clarifies the whole mechanism.
IBPB is issued when the task switches out, so malicious sandbox code cannot
mistrain the branch predictor for the next user space task on the same
logical processor.

Now that all prerequisites are in place:
- Add the prctl command line option
- Default the 'auto' mode to 'prctl'
- When SMT state changes, update the static key which controls the
conditional STIBP evaluation on context switch.
- At init update the static key which controls the conditional IBPB
evaluation on context switch.

Add command line control for user space indirect branch speculation
mitigations. The new option is: spectre_v2_user=
The initial options are:
- on: Unconditionally enabled
- off: Unconditionally disabled
-auto: Kernel selects mitigation (default off for now)
When the spectre_v2= command line argument is either 'on' or 'off' this
implies that the application to application control follows that state even
if a contradicting spectre_v2_user= argument is supplied.

Kyle Huey reported that 'rr', a replay debugger, broke due to the following commit:
af3bdb991a ("perf/x86/intel: Add a separate Arch Perfmon v4 PMI handler")
Rework the 'disable_counter_freezing' __setup() parameter such that we
can explicitly enable/disable it and switch to default disabled.
To this purpose, rename the parameter to "perf_v4_pmi=" which is a much
better description and allows requiring a bool argument.

At the request of the reporter, the Linux kernel security team offers to
postpone the publishing of a fix for up to 5 business days from the date
of a report.
While it is generally undesirable to keep a fix private after it has
been developed, this short window is intended to allow distributions to
package the fix into their kernel builds and permits early inclusion of
the security team in the case of a co-ordinated disclosure with other
parties. Unfortunately, discussions with major Linux distributions and
cloud providers has revealed that 5 business days is not sufficient to
achieve either of these two goals.
As an example, cloud providers need to roll out KVM security fixes to a
global fleet of hosts with sufficient early ramp-up and monitoring. An
end-to-end timeline of less than two weeks dramatically cuts into the
amount of early validation and increases the chance of guest-visible
regressions.
The consequence of this timeline mismatch is that security issues are
commonly fixed without the involvement of the Linux kernel security team
and are instead analysed and addressed by an ad-hoc group of developers
across companies contributing to Linux. In some cases, mainline (and
therefore the official stable kernels) can be left to languish for
extended periods of time. This undermines the Linux kernel security
process and puts upstream developers in a difficult position should they
find themselves involved with an undisclosed security problem that they
are unable to report due to restrictions from their employer.
To accommodate the needs of these users of the Linux kernel and
encourage them to engage with the Linux security team when security
issues are first uncovered, extend the maximum period for which fixes
may be delayed to 7 calendar days, or 14 calendar days in exceptional
cases, where the logistics of QA and large scale rollouts specifically
need to be accommodated. This brings parity with the linux-distros@
maximum embargo period of 14 calendar days.
