Huang Rui b466bdb614 x86/asm/delay: Introduce an MWAITX-based delay with a configurable timer
MWAITX can enable a timer and a corresponding timer value
specified in SW P0 clocks. The SW P0 frequency is the same as
TSC. The timer provides an upper bound on how long the
instruction waits before exiting.

This way, a delay function in the kernel can leverage that
MWAITX timer of MWAITX.

When a CPU core executes MWAITX, it will be quiesced in a
waiting phase, diminishing its power consumption. This way, we
can save power in comparison to our default TSC-based delays.

A simple test shows that:

	$ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:18.4/hwmon/hwmon0/power1_acc
	$ sleep 10000s
	$ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:18.4/hwmon/hwmon0/power1_acc

Results:

	* TSC-based default delay:      485115 uWatts average power
	* MWAITX-based delay:           252738 uWatts average power

Thus, that's about 240 milliWatts less power consumption. The
test method relies on the support of AMD CPU accumulated power
algorithm in fam15h_power for which patches are forthcoming.

Andy Lutomirski 03b9730b76 x86/asm/tsc: Add rdtsc_ordered() and use it in trivial call sites
rdtsc_barrier(); rdtsc() is an unnecessary mouthful and requires
more thought than should be necessary. Add an rdtsc_ordered()
helper and replace the trivial call sites with it.

This should not change generated code. The duplication of the
fence asm is temporary.

Yann Droneaud ebf2d2689d perf/x86: Fix copy_from_user_nmi() return if range is not ok
Commit 0a196848ca ("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 0a196848ca, the function should be
fixed to return the total number of bytes if range is
not correct.

Linus Torvalds d70b3ef54c Merge branch 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
  in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
  so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
  collected into the 'x86/core' topic.

  The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
  bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
  but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
  dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
  end.

  The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
  have fewer dependencies).

  The main changes in this cycle were:

   * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
     Gleixner)

     - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
       interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
       domains:

          [IOAPIC domain]   -----
                                 |
          [MSI domain]      --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
                                 |   (optional)          |
          [HPET MSI domain] -----                        |
                                                         |
          [DMAR domain]     -----------------------------
                                                         |
          [Legacy domain]   -----------------------------

       This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
       the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
       can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping.  It's a clear
       separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
       constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
       and the vector management.

     - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
       injection into guests (Feng Wu)

   * x86/asm changes:

     - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations.  This
       is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
       code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
       Brian Gerst)

     - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
       arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)

     - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
       Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
       they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
       not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)

     - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/mm changes:

     - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
       preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
       in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
       Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)

     - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
       Write-Through cached memory mappings.  This is especially
       important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)

   * x86/ras changes:

     - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)

       This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
       poisoned data.  That means roughly that the hardware marks data
       which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
       poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
       form of a deferred error.  It is the OS's responsibility then to
       take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
       far as possible.

     - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
       CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
       wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)

     - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/platform changes:

     - Intel Atom SoC updates

  ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
  shortlog and the Git log for details"

Pull x86 FPU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree contains two main changes:

   - The big FPU code rewrite: wide reaching cleanups and reorganization

     The resulting code is leaner and faster, and much easier to
     understand.  This enables future work to further simplify the FPU
     code (such as removing lazy FPU restores).

     By its nature these changes have a substantial regression risk: FPU
     code related bugs are long lived, because races are often subtle
     and bugs mask as user-space failures that are difficult to track
     back to kernel side backs.  I'm aware of no unfixed (or even
     suspected) FPU related regression so far.

   - MPX support rework/fixes.  As this is still not a released CPU

Ingo Molnar 131484c8da x86/debug: Remove perpetually broken, unmaintainable dwarf annotations
So the dwarf2 annotations in low level assembly code have
become an increasing hindrance: unreadable, messy macros
mixed into some of the most security sensitive code paths
of the Linux kernel.

These debug info annotations don't even buy the upstream
kernel anything: dwarf driven stack unwinding has caused
problems in the past so it's out of tree, and the upstream
kernel only uses the much more robust framepointers based
stack unwinding method.

In addition to that there's a steady, slow bitrot going
on with these annotations, requiring frequent fixups.
There's no tooling and no functionality upstream that
keeps it correct.

So burn down the sick forest, allowing new, healthier growth:

   27 files changed, 350 insertions(+), 1101 deletions(-)

Someone who has the willingness and time to do this
properly can attempt to reintroduce dwarf debuginfo in x86
assembly code plus dwarf unwinding from first principles,
with the following conditions:

 - it should be maximally readable, and maximally low-key to
   'ordinary' code reading and maintenance.

 - find a build time method to insert dwarf annotations
   automatically in the most common cases, for pop/push
   instructions that manipulate the stack pointer. This could
   be done for example via a preprocessing step that just
   looks for common patterns - plus special annotations for
   the few cases where we want to depart from the default.
   We have hundreds of CFI annotations, so automating most of
   that makes sense.

 - it should come with build tooling checks that ensure that
   CFI annotations are sensible. We've seen such efforts from
   the framepointer side, and there's no reason it couldn't be
   done on the dwarf side.

Linus Torvalds d869844bd0 x86: fix special __probe_kernel_write() tail zeroing case
Commit cae2a173fe ("x86: clean up/fix 'copy_in_user()' tail zeroing")
fixed the failure case tail zeroing of one special case of the x86-64
generic user-copy routine, namely when used for the user-to-user case
("copy_in_user()").

But in the process it broke an even more unusual case: using the user
copy routine for kernel-to-kernel copying.

Now, normally kernel-kernel copies are obviously done using memcpy(),
but we have a couple of special cases when we use the user-copy
functions.  One is when we pass a kernel buffer to a regular user-buffer
routine, using set_fs(KERNEL_DS).  That's a "normal" case, and continued
to work fine, because it never takes any faults (with the possible
exception of a silent and successful vmalloc fault).

But Jan Beulich pointed out another, very unusual, special case: when we
use the user-copy routines not because it's a path that expects a user
pointer, but for a couple of ftrace/kgdb cases that want to do a kernel
copy, but do so using "unsafe" buffers, and use the user-copy routine to
gracefully handle faults.  IOW, for probe_kernel_write().

And that broke for the case of a faulting kernel destination, because we
saw the kernel destination and wanted to try to clear the tail of the
buffer.  Which doesn't work, since that's what faults.

This only triggers for things like kgdb and ftrace users (eg trying
setting a breakpoint on read-only memory), but it's definitely a bug.
The fix is to not compare against the kernel address start (TASK_SIZE),
but instead use the same limits "access_ok()" uses.

Linus Torvalds cae2a173fe x86: clean up/fix 'copy_in_user()' tail zeroing
The rule for 'copy_from_user()' is that it zeroes the remaining kernel
buffer even when the copy fails halfway, just to make sure that we don't
leave uninitialized kernel memory around.  Because even if we check for
errors, some kernel buffers stay around after thge copy (think page
cache).

However, the x86-64 logic for user copies uses a copy_user_generic()
function for all the cases, that set the "zerorest" flag for any fault
on the source buffer.  Which meant that it didn't just try to clear the
kernel buffer after a failure in copy_from_user(), it also tried to
clear the destination user buffer for the "copy_in_user()" case.

Not only is that pointless, it also means that the clearing code has to
worry about the tail clearing taking page faults for the user buffer
case.  Which is just stupid, since that case shouldn't happen in the
first place.

Get rid of the whole "zerorest" thing entirely, and instead just check
if the destination is in kernel space or not.  And then just use
memset() to clear the tail of the kernel buffer if necessary.

Denys Vlasenko 3e1aa7cb59 x86/asm: Optimize unnecessarily wide TEST instructions
By the nature of the TEST operation, it is often possible to test
a narrower part of the operand:

    "testl $3,  mem"  ->  "testb $3, mem",
    "testq $3, %rcx"  ->  "testb $3, %cl"

This results in shorter instructions, because the TEST instruction
has no sign-entending byte-immediate forms unlike other ALU ops.

Note that this change does not create any LCP (Length-Changing Prefix)
stalls, which happen when adding a 0x66 prefix, which happens when
16-bit immediates are used, which changes such TEST instructions:

  [test_opcode] [modrm] [imm32]

to:

  [0x66] [test_opcode] [modrm] [imm16]

where [imm16] has a *different length* now: 2 bytes instead of 4.
This confuses the decoder and slows down execution.

REX prefixes were carefully designed to almost never hit this case:
adding REX prefix does not change instruction length except MOVABS
and MOV [addr],RAX instruction.

This patch does not add instructions which would use a 0x66 prefix,
code changes in assembly are:

    -48 f7 07 01 00 00 00 	testq  $0x1,(%rdi)
    +f6 07 01             	testb  $0x1,(%rdi)
    -48 f7 c1 01 00 00 00 	test   $0x1,%rcx
    +f6 c1 01             	test   $0x1,%cl
    -48 f7 c1 02 00 00 00 	test   $0x2,%rcx
    +f6 c1 02             	test   $0x2,%cl
    -41 f7 c2 01 00 00 00 	test   $0x1,%r10d
    +41 f6 c2 01          	test   $0x1,%r10b
    -48 f7 c1 04 00 00 00 	test   $0x4,%rcx
    +f6 c1 04             	test   $0x4,%cl
    -48 f7 c1 08 00 00 00 	test   $0x8,%rcx
    +f6 c1 08             	test   $0x8,%cl

Linus further notes:

   "There are no stalls from using 8-bit instruction forms.

    Now, changing from 64-bit or 32-bit 'test' instructions to 8-bit ones
    *could* cause problems if it ends up having forwarding issues, so that
    instead of just forwarding the result, you end up having to wait for
    it to be stable in the L1 cache (or possibly the register file). The
    forwarding from the store buffer is simplest and most reliable if the
    read is done at the exact same address and the exact same size as the
    write that gets forwarded.

    But that's true only if:

     (a) the write was very recent and is still in the write queue. I'm
         not sure that's the case here anyway.

     (b) on at least most Intel microarchitectures, you have to test a
         different byte than the lowest one (so forwarding a 64-bit write
         to a 8-bit read ends up working fine, as long as the 8-bit read
         is of the low 8 bits of the written data).

    A very similar issue *might* show up for registers too, not just
    memory writes, if you use 'testb' with a high-byte register (where
    instead of forwarding the value from the original producer it needs to
    go through the register file and then shifted). But it's mainly a
    problem for store buffers.

    But afaik, the way Denys changed the test instructions, neither of the
    above issues should be true.

    The real problem for store buffer forwarding tends to be "write 8
    bits, read 32 bits". That can be really surprisingly expensive,
    because the read ends up having to wait until the write has hit the
    cacheline, and we might talk tens of cycles of latency here. But
    "write 32 bits, read the low 8 bits" *should* be fast on pretty much
    all x86 chips, afaik."

Denys Vlasenko 69e8544cd0 x86/asm/64: Open-code register save/restore in trace_hardirqs*() thunks
This is a preparatory patch for change in "struct pt_regs"
handling in entry_64.S.

trace_hardirqs*() thunks were (ab)using a part of the
'pt_regs' handling code, namely the SAVE_ARGS/RESTORE_ARGS
macros, to save/restore registers across C function calls.

Since SAVE_ARGS is going to be changed, open-code
register saving/restoring here.

Incidentally, this removes a bit of dead code:
one SAVE_ARGS was used just to emit a CFI annotation,
but it also generated unreachable assembly instructions.

Take a page from thunk_32.S and use push/pop instructions
instead of movq, they are far shorter:
1 or 2 bytes versus 5, and no need for instructions to adjust %rsp:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
    333	     40	      0	    373	    175	thunk_64_movq.o
    104	     40	      0	    144	     90	thunk_64_push_pop.o

[ This is ugly as sin, but we'll fix up the ugliness in the next
  patch. I see no point in reordering patches just to avoid an
  ugly intermediate state.  --Andy ]

  apply_alternatives: feat: 3*32+16, old: (ffffffff8130adb0, len: 5), repl: (ffffffff81d0b859, len: 5)
  ffffffff8130adb0: alt_insn: 90 90 90 90 90
  recompute_jump: new_displ: 0x0000003e
  ffffffff81d0b859: rpl_insn: eb 3e 66 66 90

even though the compiler generated 5-byte JMPs which we padded with 5
NOPs.

Also, make the REP_GOOD version be the default as the majority of
machines set REP_GOOD. This way we get to save ourselves the JMP:

  old insn VA: 0xffffffff813038b0, CPU feat: X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD, size: 5, padlen: 0
  clear_page:

  ffffffff813038b0 <clear_page>:

What is more, make the REP_GOOD version be the default copy_page()
version as the majority of the relevant x86 CPUs do set
X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD. Thus, copy_page gets compiled to:

  ffffffff8130af80 <copy_page>:

  ffffffff8130af8a:       f3 48 a5                rep movsq %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi)
  ffffffff8130af8d:       c3                      retq
  ffffffff8130af8e:       66 90                   xchg   %ax,%ax

  ffffffff8130af90 <copy_page_regs>:
  ...

and after the alternatives have run, the JMP to the old, unrolled
version gets NOPed out:

  ffffffff8130af80 <copy_page>:
  ffffffff8130af80:  66 66 90		xchg   %ax,%ax
  ffffffff8130af83:  66 90		xchg   %ax,%ax
  ffffffff8130af85:  b9 00 02 00 00	mov    $0x200,%ecx
  ffffffff8130af8a:  f3 48 a5		rep movsq %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi)
  ffffffff8130af8d:  c3			retq

On modern uarches, those NOPs are cheaper than the unconditional JMP
previously.

Borislav Petkov 48c7a2509f x86/alternatives: Make JMPs more robust
Up until now we had to pay attention to relative JMPs in alternatives
about how their relative offset gets computed so that the jump target
is still correct. Or, as it is the case for near CALLs (opcode e8), we
still have to go and readjust the offset at patching time.

What is more, the static_cpu_has_safe() facility had to forcefully
generate 5-byte JMPs since we couldn't rely on the compiler to generate
properly sized ones so we had to force the longest ones. Worse than
that, sometimes it would generate a replacement JMP which is longer than
the original one, thus overwriting the beginning of the next instruction
at patching time.

So, in order to alleviate all that and make using JMPs more
straight-forward we go and pad the original instruction in an
alternative block with NOPs at build time, should the replacement(s) be
longer. This way, alternatives users shouldn't pay special attention
so that original and replacement instruction sizes are fine but the
assembler would simply add padding where needed and not do anything
otherwise.

As a second aspect, we go and recompute JMPs at patching time so that we
can try to make 5-byte JMPs into two-byte ones if possible. If not, we
still have to recompute the offsets as the replacement JMP gets put far
away in the .altinstr_replacement section leading to a wrong offset if
copied verbatim.

For example, on a locally generated kernel image

  old insn VA: 0xffffffff810014bd, CPU feat: X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS, size: 2
  __switch_to:
   ffffffff810014bd:      eb 21                   jmp ffffffff810014e0
  repl insn: size: 5
  ffffffff81d0b23c:       e9 b1 62 2f ff          jmpq ffffffff810014f2

gets corrected to a 2-byte JMP:

  apply_alternatives: feat: 3*32+21, old: (ffffffff810014bd, len: 2), repl: (ffffffff81d0b23c, len: 5)
  alt_insn: e9 b1 62 2f ff
  recompute_jumps: next_rip: ffffffff81d0b241, tgt_rip: ffffffff810014f2, new_displ: 0x00000033, ret len: 2
  converted to: eb 33 90 90 90

and a 5-byte JMP:

  old insn VA: 0xffffffff81001516, CPU feat: X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS, size: 2
  __switch_to:
   ffffffff81001516:      eb 30                   jmp ffffffff81001548
  repl insn: size: 5
   ffffffff81d0b241:      e9 10 63 2f ff          jmpq ffffffff81001556

gets shortened into a two-byte one:

  apply_alternatives: feat: 3*32+21, old: (ffffffff81001516, len: 2), repl: (ffffffff81d0b241, len: 5)
  alt_insn: e9 10 63 2f ff
  recompute_jumps: next_rip: ffffffff81d0b246, tgt_rip: ffffffff81001556, new_displ: 0x0000003e, ret len: 2
  converted to: eb 3e 90 90 90

... and so on.

This leads to a net win of around

40ish replacements * 3 bytes savings =~ 120 bytes of I$

on an AMD guest which means some savings of precious instruction cache
bandwidth. The padding to the shorter 2-byte JMPs are single-byte NOPs
which on smart microarchitectures means discarding NOPs at decode time
and thus freeing up execution bandwidth.

Borislav Petkov 4332195c56 x86/alternatives: Add instruction padding
Up until now we have always paid attention to make sure the length of
the new instruction replacing the old one is at least less or equal to
the length of the old instruction. If the new instruction is longer, at
the time it replaces the old instruction it will overwrite the beginning
of the next instruction in the kernel image and cause your pants to
catch fire.

So instead of having to pay attention, teach the alternatives framework
to pad shorter old instructions with NOPs at buildtime - but only in the
case when

  len(old instruction(s)) < len(new instruction(s))

and add nothing in the >= case. (In that case we do add_nops() when
patching).

This way the alternatives user shouldn't have to care about instruction
sizes and simply use the macros.

Add asm ALTERNATIVE* flavor macros too, while at it.

Also, we need to save the pad length in a separate struct alt_instr
member for NOP optimization and the way to do that reliably is to carry
the pad length instead of trying to detect whether we're looking at
single-byte NOPs or at pathological instruction offsets like e9 90 90 90
90, for example, which is a valid instruction.

Andy Lutomirski 91e5ed49fc x86/asm/decoder: Fix and enforce max instruction size in the insn decoder
x86 instructions cannot exceed 15 bytes, and the instruction
decoder should enforce that.  Prior to 6ba48ff46f, the
instruction length limit was implicitly set to 16, which was an
approximation of 15, but there is currently no limit at all.

Fix MAX_INSN_SIZE (it should be 15, not 16), and fix the decoder
to reject instructions that exceed MAX_INSN_SIZE.

Other than potentially confusing some of the decoder sanity
checks, I'm not aware of any actual problems that omitting this
check would cause, nor am I aware of any practical problems
caused by the MAX_INSN_SIZE error.

Andrey Ryabinin 393f203f5f x86_64: kasan: add interceptors for memset/memmove/memcpy functions
Recently instrumentation of builtin functions calls was removed from GCC
5.0.  To check the memory accessed by such functions, userspace asan
always uses interceptors for them.

So now we should do this as well.  This patch declares
memset/memmove/memcpy as weak symbols.  In mm/kasan/kasan.c we have our
own implementation of those functions which checks memory before accessing
it.

Default memset/memmove/memcpy now now always have aliases with '__'
prefix.  For files that built without kasan instrumentation (e.g.
mm/slub.c) original mem* replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants,
cause we don't want to check memory accesses there.

Dave Hansen 6ba48ff46f x86: Remove arbitrary instruction size limit in instruction decoder
The current x86 instruction decoder steps along through the
instruction stream but always ensures that it never steps farther
than the largest possible instruction size (MAX_INSN_SIZE).

The MPX code is now going to be doing some decoding of userspace
instructions.  We copy those from userspace in to the kernel and
they're obviously completely untrusted coming from userspace.  In
addition to the constraint that instructions can only be so long,
we also have to be aware of how long the buffer is that came in
from userspace.  This _looks_ to be similar to what the perf and
kprobes is doing, but it's unclear to me whether they are
affected.

The whole reason we need this is that it is perfectly valid to be
executing an instruction within MAX_INSN_SIZE bytes of an
unreadable page. We should be able to gracefully handle short
reads in those cases.

This adds support to the decoder to record how long the buffer
being decoded is and to refuse to "validate" the instruction if
we would have gone over the end of the buffer to decode it.

The kprobes code probably needs to be looked at here a bit more
carefully.  This patch still respects the MAX_INSN_SIZE limit
there but the kprobes code does look like it might be able to
be a bit more strict than it currently is.

Al Viro pointed out that the x86-64 csum_partial_copy_from_user() is
somewhat confused about what it should do on errors, notably it mostly
clears the uncopied end result buffer, but misses that for the initial
alignment case.

All users should check for errors, so it's dubious whether the clearing
is even necessary, and Al also points out that we should probably clean
up the calling conventions, but regardless of any future changes to this
function, the fact that it is inconsistent is just annoying.

So make the __get_user() failure path use the same error exit as all the
other errors do.

Oleg Nesterov 212be3b232 x86/lib/Makefile: Remove the unnecessary "+= thunk_64.o"
Trivial. We have "lib-y += thunk_$(BITS).o" at the start, no
need to add thunk_64.o if !CONFIG_X86_32.

Oleg Nesterov 0ad6e3c519 x86: Speed up ___preempt_schedule*() by using THUNK helpers
___preempt_schedule() does SAVE_ALL/RESTORE_ALL but this is
suboptimal, we do not need to save/restore the callee-saved
register. And we already have arch/x86/lib/thunk_*.S which
implements the similar asm wrappers, so it makes sense to
redefine ___preempt_schedule() as "THUNK ..." and remove
preempt.S altogether.
