commit e8df1a95b685af84a81698199ee206e0e66a8b44 upstream.

When I added support for the Memory Protection Keys processor
feature, I had to reindent the REQUIRED/DISABLED_MASK macros, and
also consult the later cpufeature words.

I'm not quite sure how I bungled it, but I consulted the wrong
word at the end.  This only affected required or disabled cpu
features in cpufeature words 14, 15 and 16.  So, only Protection
Keys itself was screwed over here.

The result was that if you disabled pkeys in your .config, you
might still see some code show up that should have been compiled
out.  There should be no functional problems, though.

In verifying this patch I also realized that the DISABLE_PKU/OSPKE
macros were defined backwards and that the cpu_has() check in
setup_pku() was not doing the compile-time disabled checks.

So also fix the macro for DISABLE_PKU/OSPKE and add a compile-time
check for pkeys being enabled in setup_pku().

<content type='text'>
The MBM init patch enumerates the Intel MBM (Memory b/w monitoring)
and initializes the perf events and datastructures for monitoring the
memory b/w.

Its based on original patch series by Tony Luck and Kanaka Juvva.

Memory bandwidth monitoring (MBM) provides OS/VMM a way to monitor
bandwidth from one level of cache to another. The current patches
support L3 external bandwidth monitoring. It supports both 'local
bandwidth' and 'total bandwidth' monitoring for the socket. Local
bandwidth measures the amount of data sent through the memory controller
on the socket and total b/w measures the total system bandwidth.

Extending the cache quality of service monitoring (CQM) we add two
more events to the perf infrastructure:

  intel_cqm_llc/local_bytes - bytes sent through local socket memory controller
  intel_cqm_llc/total_bytes - total L3 external bytes sent

The tasks are associated with a Resouce Monitoring ID (RMID) just like
in CQM and OS uses a MSR write to indicate the RMID of the task during
scheduling.

Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
  that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).

  There's a background article at LWN.net:

      https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/

  The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
  user-controllable permission masks in the pte.  So instead of having a
  fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
  and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
  protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
  cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
  virtual memory range.

  This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
  amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions.  It also
  allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
  executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
  below).

  This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
  that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
  if a user-space application calls:

        mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);

  or

        mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);

  (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
  this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
  memory range.  It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
  Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
  and unwritable.

  So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
  PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
  PROT_READ as well.  Unreadable executable mappings have security
  advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
  ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
  cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.

  We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
  mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
  feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.

  There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
  call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
  pull request.

  Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
  (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
  (like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
  overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment.  If there's
  any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
  flip the default"

<content type='text'>
x86_64 has very clean espfix handling on paravirt: espfix64 is set
up in native_iret, so paravirt systems that override iret bypass
espfix64 automatically.  This is robust and straightforward.

x86_32 is messier.  espfix is set up before the IRET paravirt patch
point, so it can't be directly conditionalized on whether we use
native_iret.  We also can't easily move it into native_iret without
regressing performance due to a bizarre consideration.  Specifically,
on 64-bit kernels, the logic is:

  if (regs-&gt;ss &amp; 0x4)
          setup_espfix;

On 32-bit kernels, the logic is:

  if ((regs-&gt;ss &amp; 0x4) &amp;&amp; (regs-&gt;cs &amp; 0x3) == 3 &amp;&amp;
      (regs-&gt;flags &amp; X86_EFLAGS_VM) == 0)
          setup_espfix;

The performance of setup_espfix itself is essentially irrelevant, but
the comparison happens on every IRET so its performance matters.  On
x86_64, there's no need for any registers except flags to implement
the comparison, so we fold the whole thing into native_iret.  On
x86_32, we don't do that because we need a free register to
implement the comparison efficiently.  We therefore do espfix setup
before restoring registers on x86_32.

This patch gets rid of the explicit paravirt_enabled check by
introducing X86_BUG_ESPFIX on 32-bit systems and using an ALTERNATIVE
to skip espfix on paravirt systems where iret != native_iret.  This is
also messy, but it's at least in line with other things we do.

This improves espfix performance by removing a branch, but no one
cares.  More importantly, it removes a paravirt_enabled user, which is
good because paravirt_enabled is ill-defined and is going away.

For per package oriented services we must be able to rely on the number of CPU
packages to be within bounds. Create a tracking facility, which

- calculates the number of possible packages depending on nr_cpu_ids after boot

- makes sure that the package id is within the number of possible packages. If
  the apic id is outside we map it to a logical package id if there is enough
  space available.

Provide interfaces for drivers to query the mapping and do translations from
physcial to logical ids.
