3841840449 x86/boot: Mostly revert commit ae7e1238e6 ("Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header")
Peter Anvin pointed out that commit:

  ae7e1238e6 ("x86/boot: Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header")

should be reverted as setup_header should only contain items set by the
legacy BIOS.

So revert said commit. Instead of fully reverting the dependent commit
of:

  e7b66d16fe ("x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address for boot params if available")

just remove the setup_header reference in order to replace it by
a boot_params in a followup patch.

d52888aa27 x86/mm: Move LDT remap out of KASLR region on 5-level paging
On 5-level paging the LDT remap area is placed in the middle of the KASLR
randomization region and it can overlap with the direct mapping, the
vmalloc or the vmap area.

The LDT mapping is per mm, so it cannot be moved into the P4D page table
next to the CPU_ENTRY_AREA without complicating PGD table allocation for
5-level paging.

The 4 PGD slot gap just before the direct mapping is reserved for
hypervisors, so it cannot be used.

Move the direct mapping one slot deeper and use the resulting gap for the
LDT remap area. The resulting layout is the same for 4 and 5 level paging.

Pull stackleak gcc plugin from Kees Cook:
 "Please pull this new GCC plugin, stackleak, for v4.20-rc1. This plugin
  was ported from grsecurity by Alexander Popov. It provides efficient
  stack content poisoning at syscall exit. This creates a defense
  against at least two classes of flaws:

   - Uninitialized stack usage. (We continue to work on improving the
     compiler to do this in other ways: e.g. unconditional zero init was
     proposed to GCC and Clang, and more plugin work has started too).

   - Stack content exposure. By greatly reducing the lifetime of valid
     stack contents, exposures via either direct read bugs or unknown
     cache side-channels become much more difficult to exploit. This
     complements the existing buddy and heap poisoning options, but
     provides the coverage for stacks.

  The x86 hooks are included in this series (which have been reviewed by
  Ingo, Dave Hansen, and Thomas Gleixner). The arm64 hooks have already
  been merged through the arm64 tree (written by Laura Abbott and
  reviewed by Mark Rutland and Will Deacon).

  With VLAs having been removed this release, there is no need for
  alloca() protection, so it has been removed from the plugin"

ae7e1238e6 x86/boot: Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header
Xen PVH guests receive the address of the RSDP table from Xen. In order
to support booting a Xen PVH guest via Grub2 using the standard x86
boot entry we need a way for Grub2 to pass the RSDP address to the
kernel.

For this purpose expand the struct setup_header to hold the physical
address of the RSDP address. Being zero means it isn't specified and
has to be located the legacy way (searching through low memory or
EBDA).

While documenting the new setup_header layout and protocol version
2.14 add the missing documentation of protocol version 2.13.

There are Grub2 versions in several distros with a downstream patch
violating the boot protocol by writing past the end of setup_header.
This requires another update of the boot protocol to enable the kernel
to distinguish between a specified RSDP address and one filled with
garbage by such a broken Grub2.

From protocol 2.14 on Grub2 will write the version it is supporting
(but never a higher value than found to be supported by the kernel)
ored with 0x8000 to the version field of setup_header. This enables
the kernel to know up to which field Grub2 has written information
to. All fields after that are supposed to be clobbered.

32b89760dd x86/mm/doc: Enhance the x86-64 virtual memory layout descriptions
After the cleanups from Baoquan He, make it even more readable:

 - Remove the 'bits' area size column: it's pretty pointless and was even
   wrong for some of the entries. Given that MB, GB, TB, PT are 10, 20,
   30 and 40 bits, a "8 TB" size description makes it obvious that it's
   43 bits.

 - Introduce an "offset" column:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    start addr       | offset     | end addr         |  size   | VM area description
    -----------------|------------|------------------|---------|--------------------
    ...
    ffff880000000000 | -120    TB | ffffc7ffffffffff |   64 TB | direct mapping of all physical memory (page_offset_base),
                                                                 this is what limits max physical memory supported.

   The -120 TB notation makes it obvious where this particular virtual memory
   region starts: 120 TB down from the top of the 64-bit virtual memory space.
   Especially the layout of the kernel mappings is a *lot* more obvious when
   written this way, plus it's much easier to compare it with the size column
   and understand/check/validate and modify the kernel's layout in the future.

 - Mark the part from where the 47-bit and 56-bit kernel layouts are 100% identical,
   this starts at the -512 GB offset and the EFI region.

 - Re-shuffle the size desciptions to be continous blocks of sizes, instead of the
   often mixed size. I.e. write "0.5 TB" instead of "512 GB" if we are still in
   the TB-granular region of the map.

 - Make the 47-bit and 56-bit descriptions use the *exact* same layout and wording,
   and only differ where there's a material difference. This makes it easy to compare
   the two tables side by side by switching between two terminal tabs.

 - Plus enhance a lot of other stylistic/typographical details: make the tables
   explicitly tabular, add headers, enhance certain entries, etc. etc.

Note that there are some apparent errors in the tables as well, but I'll fix
them in a separate patch to make it easier to review/validate.

In Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt, the description of the x86-64 virtual
memory layout has become a confusing hodgepodge of inconsistencies:

 - there's a hard to read mixture of 'TB' and 'bits' notation
 - the entries sometimes mention a size in the description and sometimes not
 - sometimes they list holes by address, sometimes only as an 'unused hole' line

So make it all a coherent, readable, well organized description.

dd45407c0b x86/intel_rdt: Use perf infrastructure for measurements
The success of a cache pseudo-locked region is measured using
performance monitoring events that are programmed directly at the time
the user requests a measurement.

Modifying the performance event registers directly is not appropriate
since it circumvents the in-kernel perf infrastructure that exists to
manage these resources and provide resource arbitration to the
performance monitoring hardware.

The cache pseudo-locking measurements are modified to use the in-kernel
perf infrastructure. Performance events are created and validated with
the appropriate perf API. The performance counters are still read as
directly as possible to avoid the additional cache hits. This is
done safely by first ensuring with the perf API that the counters have
been programmed correctly and only accessing the counters in an
interrupt disabled section where they are not able to be moved.

As part of the transition to the in-kernel perf infrastructure the L2
and L3 measurements are split into two separate measurements that can
be triggered independently. This separation prevents additional cache
misses incurred during the extra testing code used to decide if a
L2 and/or L3 measurement should be made.

a7ddcea58a Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/
This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.

The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)

A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.

A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.

Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).

I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.

As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.

afaef01c00 x86/entry: Add STACKLEAK erasing the kernel stack at the end of syscalls
The STACKLEAK feature (initially developed by PaX Team) has the following
benefits:

1. Reduces the information that can be revealed through kernel stack leak
   bugs. The idea of erasing the thread stack at the end of syscalls is
   similar to CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING and memzero_explicit() in kernel
   crypto, which all comply with FDP_RIP.2 (Full Residual Information
   Protection) of the Common Criteria standard.

2. Blocks some uninitialized stack variable attacks (e.g. CVE-2017-17712,
   CVE-2010-2963). That kind of bugs should be killed by improving C
   compilers in future, which might take a long time.

This commit introduces the code filling the used part of the kernel
stack with a poison value before returning to userspace. Full
STACKLEAK feature also contains the gcc plugin which comes in a
separate commit.

The STACKLEAK feature is ported from grsecurity/PaX. More information at:
  https://grsecurity.net/
  https://pax.grsecurity.net/

This code is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last
public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on our understanding of the code.
Changes or omissions from the original code are ours and don't reflect
the original grsecurity/PaX code.

Performance impact:

Hardware: Intel Core i7-4770, 16 GB RAM

Test #1: building the Linux kernel on a single core
        0.91% slowdown

Test #2: hackbench -s 4096 -l 2000 -g 15 -f 25 -P
        4.2% slowdown

So the STACKLEAK description in Kconfig includes: "The tradeoff is the
performance impact: on a single CPU system kernel compilation sees a 1%
slowdown, other systems and workloads may vary and you are advised to
test this feature on your expected workload before deploying it".

Pull x86 cache QoS (RDT/CAR) updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Add support for pseudo-locked cache regions.

  Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) allows on certain CPUs to isolate a
  region of cache and 'lock' it. Cache pseudo-locking builds on the fact
  that a CPU can still read and write data pre-allocated outside its
  current allocated area on cache hit. With cache pseudo-locking data
  can be preloaded into a reserved portion of cache that no application
  can fill, and from that point on will only serve cache hits. The cache
  pseudo-locked memory is made accessible to user space where an
  application can map it into its virtual address space and thus have a
  region of memory with reduced average read latency.

  The locking is not perfect and gets totally screwed by WBINDV and
  similar mechanisms, but it provides a reasonable enhancement for
  certain types of latency sensitive applications.

  The implementation extends the current CAT mechanism and provides a
  generally useful exclusive CAT mode on which it builds the extra
  pseude-locked regions"

fe9af81e52 x86/tsc: Redefine notsc to behave as tsc=unstable
Currently, the notsc kernel parameter disables the use of the TSC by
sched_clock(). However, this parameter does not prevent the kernel from
accessing tsc in other places.

The only rationale to boot with notsc is to avoid timing discrepancies on
multi-socket systems where TSC are not properly synchronized, and thus
exclude TSC from being used for time keeping. But that prevents using TSC
as sched_clock() as well, which is not necessary as the core sched_clock()
implementation can handle non synchronized TSC based sched clocks just
fine.

However, there is another method to solve the above problem: booting with
tsc=unstable parameter. This parameter allows sched_clock() to use TSC and
just excludes it from timekeeping.

So there is no real reason to keep notsc, but for compatibility reasons the
parameter has to stay. Make it behave like 'tsc=unstable' instead.

cc9aec03e5 x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capability
The current NUMA emulation capabilities for splitting System RAM by a
fixed size or by a set number of nodes may result in some nodes being
larger than others. The implementation prioritizes establishing a
minimum usable memory size over satisfying the requested number of NUMA
nodes.

Introduce a uniform split capability that evenly partitions each
physical NUMA node into N emulated nodes. For example numa=fake=3U
creates 6 emulated nodes total on a system that has 2 physical nodes.

This capability is useful for debugging and evaluating platform
memory-side-cache capabilities as described by the ACPI HMAT (see
5.2.27.5 Memory Side Cache Information Structure in ACPI 6.2a)

Compare numa=fake=6 that results in only 5 nodes being created against
numa=fake=3U which takes the 2 physical nodes and evenly divides them.

33dc3e410a x86/intel_rdt: Make CPU information accessible for pseudo-locked regions
When a resource group enters pseudo-locksetup mode it reflects that the
platform supports cache pseudo-locking and the resource group is unused,
ready to be used for a pseudo-locked region. Until it is set up as a
pseudo-locked region the resource group is "locked down" such that no new
tasks or cpus can be assigned to it. This is accomplished in a user visible
way by making the cpus, cpus_list, and tasks resctrl files inaccassible
(user cannot read from or write to these files).

When the resource group changes to pseudo-locked mode it represents a cache
pseudo-locked region. While not appropriate to make any changes to the cpus
assigned to this region it is useful to make it easy for the user to see
which cpus are associated with the pseudo-locked region.

Modify the permissions of the cpus/cpus_list file when the resource group
changes to pseudo-locked mode to support reading (not writing).  The
information presented to the user when reading the file are the cpus
associated with the pseudo-locked region.

6fc0de37f6 x86/intel_rdt: Limit C-states dynamically when pseudo-locking active
Deeper C-states impact cache content through shrinking of the cache or
flushing entire cache to memory before reducing power to the cache.
Deeper C-states will thus negatively impact the pseudo-locked regions.

To avoid impacting pseudo-locked regions C-states are limited on
pseudo-locked region creation so that cores associated with the
pseudo-locked region are prevented from entering deeper C-states.
This is accomplished by requesting a CPU latency target which will
prevent the core from entering C6 across all supported platforms.

cba1aab84f x86/intel_rdt: Document new mode, size, and bit_usage
By default resource groups allow sharing of their cache allocations.  There
is nothing that prevents a resource group from configuring a cache
allocation that overlaps with that of an existing resource group.

To enable resource groups to specify that their cache allocations cannot be
shared a resource group "mode" is introduced to support two possible modes:
"shareable" and "exclusive". A "shareable" resource group allows sharing of
its cache allocations, an "exclusive" resource group does not. A new
resctrl file "mode" associated with each resource group is used to
communicate its (the associated resource group's) mode setting and allow
the mode to be changed.  The new "mode" file as well as two other resctrl
files, "bit_usage" and "size", are introduced in this series.

Add documentation for the three new resctrl files as well as one example
demonstrating their use.

Pull x86 pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This contains:

   - a PTI bugfix to avoid setting reserved CR3 bits when PCID is
     disabled. This seems to cause issues on a virtual machine at least
     and is incorrect according to the AMD manual.

   - a PTI bugfix which disables the perf BTS facility if PTI is
     enabled. The BTS AUX buffer is not globally visible and causes the
     CPU to fault when the mapping disappears on switching CR3 to user
     space. A full fix which restores BTS on PTI is non trivial and will
     be worked on.

   - PTI bugfixes for EFI and trusted boot which make sure that the user
     space visible page table entries have the NX bit cleared

   - removal of dead code in the PTI pagetable setup functions

   - add PTI documentation

   - add a selftest for vsyscall to verify that the kernel actually
     implements what it advertises.

   - a sysfs interface to expose vulnerability and mitigation
     information so there is a coherent way for users to retrieve the
     status.

   - the initial spectre_v2 mitigations, aka retpoline:

      + The necessary ASM thunk and compiler support

      + The ASM variants of retpoline and the conversion of affected ASM
        code

      + Make LFENCE serializing on AMD so it can be used as speculation
        trap

      + The RSB fill after vmexit

   - initial objtool support for retpoline

  As I said in the status mail this is the most of the set of patches
  which should go into 4.15 except two straight forward patches still on
  hold:

   - the retpoline add on of LFENCE which waits for ACKs

   - the RSB fill after context switch

  Both should be ready to go early next week and with that we'll have
  covered the major holes of spectre_v2 and go back to normality"

 "Another small stash of fixes for fallout from the PTI work:

   - Fix the modules vs. KASAN breakage which was caused by making
     MODULES_END depend of the fixmap size. That was done when the cpu
     entry area moved into the fixmap, but now that we have a separate
     map space for that this is causing more issues than it solves.

   - Use the proper cache flush methods for the debugstore buffers as
     they are mapped/unmapped during runtime and not statically mapped
     at boot time like the rest of the cpu entry area.

   - Make the map layout of the cpu_entry_area consistent for 4 and 5
     level paging and fix the KASLR vaddr_end wreckage.

   - Use PER_CPU_EXPORT for per cpu variable and while at it unbreak
     nvidia gfx drivers by dropping the GPL export. The subject line of
     the commit tells it the other way around, but I noticed that too
     late.

   - Fix the ASM alternative macros so they can be used in the middle of
     an inline asm block.

   - Rename the BUG_CPU_INSECURE flag to BUG_CPU_MELTDOWN so the attack
     vector is properly identified. The Spectre mitigations will come
     with their own bug bits later"

1dddd25125 x86/kaslr: Fix the vaddr_end mess
vaddr_end for KASLR is only documented in the KASLR code itself and is
adjusted depending on config options. So it's not surprising that a change
of the memory layout causes KASLR to have the wrong vaddr_end. This can map
arbitrary stuff into other areas causing hard to understand problems.

Remove the whole ifdef magic and define the start of the cpu_entry_area to
be the end of the KASLR vaddr range.

Add documentation to that effect.
