The header search path -I. in kernel Makefiles is very suspicious;
it allows the compiler to search for headers in the top of $(srctree),
where obviously no header file exists.
The reason of having -I. here is to make the incorrectly set
TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH working.
As the comment block in include/trace/define_trace.h says,
TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH should be a relative path to the define_trace.h

...along with the function's STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD tag. Moving the
asm blob results in a significantly smaller amount of code that is
marked with STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD, which makes it far less likely
that gcc will split the function and trigger a spurious objtool warning.
As a bonus, removing STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD from vmx_vcpu_run() allows
the bulk of code to be properly checked by objtool.
Because %rbp is not loaded via VMCS fields, vmx_vcpu_run() must manually
save/restore the host's RBP and load the guest's RBP prior to calling
vmx_vmenter(). Modifying %rbp triggers objtool's stack validation code,
and so vmx_vcpu_run() is tagged with STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD since it's
impossible to avoid modifying %rbp.
Unfortunately, vmx_vcpu_run() is also a gigantic function that gcc will
split into separate functions, e.g. so that pieces of the function can
be inlined. Splitting the function means that the compiled Elf file
will contain one or more vmx_vcpu_run.part.* functions in addition to
a vmx_vcpu_run function. Depending on where the function is split,
objtool may warn about a "call without frame pointer save/setup" in
vmx_vcpu_run.part.* since objtool's stack validation looks for exact
names when whitelisting functions tagged with STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD.
Up until recently, the undesirable function splitting was effectively
blocked because vmx_vcpu_run() was tagged with __noclone. At the time,
__noclone had an unintended side effect that put vmx_vcpu_run() into a
separate optimization unit, which in turn prevented gcc from inlining
the function (or any of its own function calls) and thus eliminated gcc's
motivation to split the function. Removing the __noclone attribute
allowed gcc to optimize vmx_vcpu_run(), exposing the objtool warning.
Kudos to Qian Cai for root causing that the fnsplit optimization is what
caused objtool to complain.

kvm-unit-tests' eventinj "NMI failing on IDT" test results in NMI being

Commit 594cc251fd ("make 'user_access_begin()' do 'access_ok()'")
makes the access_ok() check part of the user_access_begin() preceding a
series of 'unsafe' accesses. This has the desirable effect of ensuring
that all 'unsafe' accesses have been range-checked, without having to
pick through all of the callsites to verify whether the appropriate
checking has been made.
However, the consolidated range check does not inhibit speculation, so
it is still up to the caller to ensure that they are not susceptible to
any speculative side-channel attacks for user addresses that ultimately
fail the access_ok() check.
This is an oversight, so use __uaccess_begin_nospec() to ensure that
speculation is inhibited until the access_ok() check has passed.

While in the native case entry into the kernel happens on the trampoline
stack, PV Xen kernels get entered with the current thread stack right
away. Hence source and destination stacks are identical in that case,
and special care is needed.
Other than in sync_regs() the copying done on the INT80 path isn't
NMI / #MC safe, as either of these events occurring in the middle of the
stack copying would clobber data on the (source) stack.
There is similar code in interrupt_entry() and nmi(), but there is no fixup
required because those code paths are unreachable in XEN PV guests.

b6664ba42f ("s390, kexec_file: drop arch_kexec_mem_walk()")
changed the behavior of kexec_locate_mem_hole(): it will try to allocate
free memory only when kbuf.mem is initialized to zero.
However, x86's kexec_file_load() implementation reuses a struct
kexec_buf allocated on the stack and its kbuf.mem member gets set by
each kexec_add_buffer() invocation.
The second kexec_add_buffer() will reuse the same kbuf but not
reinitialize kbuf.mem.
Therefore, explictily reset kbuf.mem each time in order for
kexec_locate_mem_hole() to locate a free memory region each time.

Using sizeof(pointer) for determining the size of a memset() only works
when the size of the pointer and the size of type to which it points are
the same. For pte_t this is only true for 64bit and 32bit-NONPAE. On 32bit
PAE systems this is wrong as the pointer size is 4 byte but the PTE entry
is 8 bytes. It's actually not a real world issue as this code depends on
64bit, but it's wrong nevertheless.

Memory protection key behavior should be the same in a child as it was
in the parent before a fork. But, there is a bug that resets the
state in the child at fork instead of preserving it.
The creation of new mm's is a bit convoluted. At fork(), the code
does:
1. memcpy() the parent mm to initialize child
2. mm_init() to initalize some select stuff stuff
3. dup_mmap() to create true copies that memcpy() did not do right
For pkeys two bits of state need to be preserved across a fork:
'execute_only_pkey' and 'pkey_allocation_map'.
Those are preserved by the memcpy(), but mm_init() invokes
init_new_context() which overwrites 'execute_only_pkey' and
'pkey_allocation_map' with "new" values.
The author of the code erroneously believed that init_new_context is *only*
called at execve()-time. But, alas, init_new_context() is used at execve()
and fork().
The result is that, after a fork(), the child's pkey state ends up looking
like it does after an execve(), which is totally wrong. pkeys that are
already allocated can be allocated again, for instance.
To fix this, add code called by dup_mmap() to copy the pkey state from
parent to child explicitly. Also add a comment above init_new_context() to
make it more clear to the next poor sod what this code is used for.

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".
The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:
#if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
# define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
#endif
We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

This has been broken forever, and nobody ever really noticed because
it's purely a performance issue.
Long long ago, in commit 6175ddf06b ("x86: Clean up mem*io functions")
Brian Gerst simplified the memory copies to and from iomem, since on
x86, the instructions to access iomem are exactly the same as the
regular instructions.
That is technically true, and things worked, and nobody said anything.
Besides, back then the regular memcpy was pretty simple and worked fine.
Nobody noticed except for David Laight, that is. David has a testing a
TLP monitor he was writing for an FPGA, and has been occasionally
complaining about how memcpy_toio() writes things one byte at a time.
Which is completely unacceptable from a performance standpoint, even if
it happens to technically work.
The reason it's writing one byte at a time is because while it's
technically true that accesses to iomem are the same as accesses to
regular memory on x86, the _granularity_ (and ordering) of accesses
matter to iomem in ways that they don't matter to regular cached memory.
In particular, when ERMS is set, we default to using "rep movsb" for
larger memory copies. That is indeed perfectly fine for real memory,
since the whole point is that the CPU is going to do cacheline
optimizations and executes the memory copy efficiently for cached
memory.
With iomem? Not so much. With iomem, "rep movsb" will indeed work, but
it will copy things one byte at a time. Slowly and ponderously.
Now, originally, back in 2010 when commit 6175ddf06b was done, we
didn't use ERMS, and this was much less noticeable.
Our normal memcpy() was simpler in other ways too.
Because in fact, it's not just about using the string instructions. Our
memcpy() these days does things like "read and write overlapping values"
to handle the last bytes of the copy. Again, for normal memory,
overlapping accesses isn't an issue. For iomem? It can be.
So this re-introduces the specialized memcpy_toio(), memcpy_fromio() and
memset_io() functions. It doesn't particularly optimize them, but it
tries to at least not be horrid, or do overlapping accesses. In fact,
this uses the existing __inline_memcpy() function that we still had
lying around that uses our very traditional "rep movsl" loop followed by
movsw/movsb for the final bytes.
Somebody may decide to try to improve on it, but if we've gone almost a
decade with only one person really ever noticing and complaining, maybe
it's not worth worrying about further, once it's not _completely_ broken?

This actually enables the __put_user_goto() functionality in
unsafe_put_user().
For an example of the effect of this, this is the code generated for the
unsafe_put_user(signo, &infop->si_signo, Efault);
in the waitid() system call:
movl %ecx,(%rbx) # signo, MEM[(struct __large_struct *)_2]
It's just one single store instruction, along with generating an
exception table entry pointing to the Efault label case in case that
instruction faults.
Before, we would generate this:
xorl %edx, %edx
movl %ecx,(%rbx) # signo, MEM[(struct __large_struct *)_3]
testl %edx, %edx
jne .L309
with the exception table generated for that 'mov' instruction causing us
to jump to a stub that set %edx to -EFAULT and then jumped back to the
'testl' instruction.
So not only do we now get rid of the extra code in the normal sequence,
we also avoid unnecessarily keeping that extra error register live
across it all.
