2018-08-15KVM: VMX: Tell the nested hypervisor to skip L1D flush on vmentryPaolo Bonzini1-0/+21
commit 5b76a3cff011df2dcb6186c965a2e4d809a05ad4 upstream When nested virtualization is in use, VMENTER operations from the nested hypervisor into the nested guest will always be processed by the bare metal hypervisor, and KVM's "conditional cache flushes" mode in particular does a flush on nested vmentry. Therefore, include the "skip L1D flush on vmentry" bit in KVM's suggested ARCH_CAPABILITIES setting. Add the relevant Documentation.

2018-08-15x86/bugs, kvm: Introduce boot-time control of L1TF mitigationsJiri Kosina1-6/+62
commit d90a7a0ec83fb86622cd7dae23255d3c50a99ec8 upstream Introduce the 'l1tf=' kernel command line option to allow for boot-time switching of mitigation that is used on processors affected by L1TF. The possible values are: full Provides all available mitigations for the L1TF vulnerability. Disables SMT and enables all mitigations in the hypervisors. SMT control via /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control is still possible after boot. Hypervisors will issue a warning when the first VM is started in a potentially insecure configuration, i.e. SMT enabled or L1D flush disabled. full,force Same as 'full', but disables SMT control. Implies the 'nosmt=force' command line option. sysfs control of SMT and the hypervisor flush control is disabled. flush Leaves SMT enabled and enables the conditional hypervisor mitigation. Hypervisors will issue a warning when the first VM is started in a potentially insecure configuration, i.e. SMT enabled or L1D flush disabled. flush,nosmt Disables SMT and enables the conditional hypervisor mitigation. SMT control via /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control is still possible after boot. If SMT is reenabled or flushing disabled at runtime hypervisors will issue a warning. flush,nowarn Same as 'flush', but hypervisors will not warn when a VM is started in a potentially insecure configuration. off Disables hypervisor mitigations and doesn't emit any warnings. Default is 'flush'. Let KVM adhere to these semantics, which means: - 'lt1f=full,force' : Performe L1D flushes. No runtime control possible. - 'l1tf=full' - 'l1tf-flush' - 'l1tf=flush,nosmt' : Perform L1D flushes and warn on VM start if SMT has been runtime enabled or L1D flushing has been run-time enabled - 'l1tf=flush,nowarn' : Perform L1D flushes and no warnings are emitted. - 'l1tf=off' : L1D flushes are not performed and no warnings are emitted. KVM can always override the L1D flushing behavior using its 'vmentry_l1d_flush' module parameter except when lt1f=full,force is set. This makes KVM's private 'nosmt' option redundant, and as it is a bit non-systematic anyway (this is something to control globally, not on hypervisor level), remove that option. Add the missing Documentation entry for the l1tf vulnerability sysfs file while at it.

2018-08-15x86/KVM: Warn user if KVM is loaded SMT and L1TF CPU bug being presentKonrad Rzeszutek Wilk1-0/+6
commit 26acfb666a473d960f0fd971fe68f3e3ad16c70b upstream If the L1TF CPU bug is present we allow the KVM module to be loaded as the major of users that use Linux and KVM have trusted guests and do not want a broken setup. Cloud vendors are the ones that are uncomfortable with CVE 2018-3620 and as such they are the ones that should set nosmt to one. Setting 'nosmt' means that the system administrator also needs to disable SMT (Hyper-threading) in the BIOS, or via the 'nosmt' command line parameter, or via the /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control. See commit 05736e4ac13c ("cpu/hotplug: Provide knobs to control SMT"). Other mitigations are to use task affinity, cpu sets, interrupt binding, etc - anything to make sure that _only_ the same guests vCPUs are running on sibling threads.

2018-08-15Revert "x86/apic: Ignore secondary threads if nosmt=force"Thomas Gleixner1-6/+2
commit 506a66f374891ff08e064a058c446b336c5ac760 upstream Dave Hansen reported, that it's outright dangerous to keep SMT siblings disabled completely so they are stuck in the BIOS and wait for SIPI. The reason is that Machine Check Exceptions are broadcasted to siblings and the soft disabled sibling has CR4.MCE = 0. If a MCE is delivered to a logical core with CR4.MCE = 0, it asserts IERR#, which shuts down or reboots the machine. The MCE chapter in the SDM contains the following blurb: Because the logical processors within a physical package are tightly coupled with respect to shared hardware resources, both logical processors are notified of machine check errors that occur within a given physical processor. If machine-check exceptions are enabled when a fatal error is reported, all the logical processors within a physical package are dispatched to the machine-check exception handler. If machine-check exceptions are disabled, the logical processors enter the shutdown state and assert the IERR# signal. When enabling machine-check exceptions, the MCE flag in control register CR4 should be set for each logical processor. Reverting the commit which ignores siblings at enumeration time solves only half of the problem. The core cpuhotplug logic needs to be adjusted as well. This thoughtful engineered mechanism also turns the boot process on all Intel HT enabled systems into a MCE lottery. MCE is enabled on the boot CPU before the secondary CPUs are brought up. Depending on the number of physical cores the window in which this situation can happen is smaller or larger. On a HSW-EX it's about 750ms: MCE is enabled on the boot CPU: [ 0.244017] mce: CPU supports 22 MCE banks The corresponding sibling #72 boots: [ 1.008005] .... node #0, CPUs: #72 That means if an MCE hits on physical core 0 (logical CPUs 0 and 72) between these two points the machine is going to shutdown. At least it's a known safe state. It's obvious that the early boot can be hit by an MCE as well and then runs into the same situation because MCEs are not yet enabled on the boot CPU. But after enabling them on the boot CPU, it does not make any sense to prevent the kernel from recovering. Adjust the nosmt kernel parameter documentation as well.

2018-08-15cpu/hotplug: Provide knobs to control SMTThomas Gleixner1-0/+8
commit 05736e4ac13c08a4a9b1ef2de26dd31a32cbee57 upstream Provide a command line and a sysfs knob to control SMT. The command line options are: 'nosmt': Enumerate secondary threads, but do not online them 'nosmt=force': Ignore secondary threads completely during enumeration via MP table and ACPI/MADT. The sysfs control file has the following states (read/write): 'on': SMT is enabled. Secondary threads can be freely onlined 'off': SMT is disabled. Secondary threads, even if enumerated cannot be onlined 'forceoff': SMT is permanentely disabled. Writes to the control file are rejected. 'notsupported': SMT is not supported by the CPU The command line option 'nosmt' sets the sysfs control to 'off'. This can be changed to 'on' to reenable SMT during runtime. The command line option 'nosmt=force' sets the sysfs control to 'forceoff'. This cannot be changed during runtime. When SMT is 'on' and the control file is changed to 'off' then all online secondary threads are offlined and attempts to online a secondary thread later on are rejected. When SMT is 'off' and the control file is changed to 'on' then secondary threads can be onlined again. The 'off' -> 'on' transition does not automatically online the secondary threads. When the control file is set to 'forceoff', the behaviour is the same as setting it to 'off', but the operation is irreversible and later writes to the control file are rejected. When the control status is 'notsupported' then writes to the control file are rejected.

commit a43ae4dfe56a01f5b98ba0cb2f784b6a43bafcc6 upstream. On a system where the firmware implements ARCH_WORKAROUND_2, it may be useful to either permanently enable or disable the workaround for cases where the user decides that they'd rather not get a trap overhead, and keep the mitigation permanently on or off instead of switching it on exception entry/exit. In any case, default to the mitigation being enabled.

2018-05-03x86/speculation: Add prctl for Speculative Store Bypass mitigationThomas Gleixner1-1/+5
Add prctl based control for Speculative Store Bypass mitigation and make it the default mitigation for Intel and AMD. Andi Kleen provided the following rationale (slightly redacted): There are multiple levels of impact of Speculative Store Bypass: 1) JITed sandbox. It cannot invoke system calls, but can do PRIME+PROBE and may have call interfaces to other code 2) Native code process. No protection inside the process at this level. 3) Kernel. 4) Between processes. The prctl tries to protect against case (1) doing attacks. If the untrusted code can do random system calls then control is already lost in a much worse way. So there needs to be system call protection in some way (using a JIT not allowing them or seccomp). Or rather if the process can subvert its environment somehow to do the prctl it can already execute arbitrary code, which is much worse than SSB. To put it differently, the point of the prctl is to not allow JITed code to read data it shouldn't read from its JITed sandbox. If it already has escaped its sandbox then it can already read everything it wants in its address space, and do much worse. The ability to control Speculative Store Bypass allows to enable the protection selectively without affecting overall system performance. Based on an initial patch from Tim Chen. Completely rewritten. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
2018-05-03x86/bugs: Provide boot parameters for the spec_store_bypass_disable mitigationKonrad Rzeszutek Wilk1-0/+33
Contemporary high performance processors use a common industry-wide optimization known as "Speculative Store Bypass" in which loads from addresses to which a recent store has occurred may (speculatively) see an older value. Intel refers to this feature as "Memory Disambiguation" which is part of their "Smart Memory Access" capability. Memory Disambiguation can expose a cache side-channel attack against such speculatively read values. An attacker can create exploit code that allows them to read memory outside of a sandbox environment (for example, malicious JavaScript in a web page), or to perform more complex attacks against code running within the same privilege level, e.g. via the stack. As a first step to mitigate against such attacks, provide two boot command line control knobs: nospec_store_bypass_disable spec_store_bypass_disable=[off,auto,on] By default affected x86 processors will power on with Speculative Store Bypass enabled. Hence the provided kernel parameters are written from the point of view of whether to enable a mitigation or not. The parameters are as follows: - auto - Kernel detects whether your CPU model contains an implementation of Speculative Store Bypass and picks the most appropriate mitigation. - on - disable Speculative Store Bypass - off - enable Speculative Store Bypass [ tglx: Reordered the checks so that the whole evaluation is not done when the CPU does not support RDS ] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2018-04-06mm, page_alloc: extend kernelcore and movablecore for percentDavid Rientjes1-27/+27
Both kernelcore= and movablecore= can be used to define the amount of ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE on a system, respectively. This requires the system memory capacity to be known when specifying the command line, however. This introduces the ability to define both kernelcore= and movablecore= as a percentage of total system memory. This is convenient for systems software that wants to define the amount of ZONE_MOVABLE, for example, as a proportion of a system's memory rather than a hardcoded byte value. To define the percentage, the final character of the parameter should be a '%'. mhocko: "why is anyone using these options nowadays?" rientjes: : : Fragmentation of non-__GFP_MOVABLE pages due to low on memory : situations can pollute most pageblocks on the system, as much as 1GB of : slab being fragmented over 128GB of memory, for example. When the : amount of kernel memory is well bounded for certain systems, it is : better to aggressively reclaim from existing MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE : pageblocks rather than eagerly fallback to others. : : We have additional patches that help with this fragmentation if you're : interested, specifically kcompactd compaction of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE : pageblocks triggered by fallback of non-__GFP_MOVABLE allocations and : draining of pcp lists back to the zone free area to prevent stranding.

I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users. In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees. [ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ] The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases. After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline gcc support: - unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc. - openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar [ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]" This really says it all: 2498 files changed, 95 insertions(+), 467668 deletions(-) * tag 'arch-removal' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic: (74 commits) MAINTAINERS: UNICORE32: Change email account staging: iio: remove iio-trig-bfin-timer driver tty: hvc: remove tile driver tty: remove bfin_jtag_comm and hvc_bfin_jtag drivers serial: remove tile uart driver serial: remove m32r_sio driver serial: remove blackfin drivers serial: remove cris/etrax uart drivers usb: Remove Blackfin references in USB support usb: isp1362: remove blackfin arch glue usb: musb: remove blackfin port usb: host: remove tilegx platform glue pwm: remove pwm-bfin driver i2c: remove bfin-twi driver spi: remove blackfin related host drivers watchdog: remove bfin_wdt driver can: remove bfin_can driver mmc: remove bfin_sdh driver input: misc: remove blackfin rotary driver input: keyboard: remove bf54x driver ...

7570a333d8b0 ("PCI: Add pcie_hp=nomsi to disable MSI/MSI-X for pciehp driver") added the "pcie_hp=nomsi" kernel parameter to work around this error on shutdown: irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Pid: 1081, comm: reboot Not tainted 3.2.0 #1 ... Disabling IRQ #16 This happened on an unspecified system (possibly involving the Integrated Device Technology, Inc. Device 807f bridge) where "an un-wanted interrupt is generated when PCI driver switches from MSI/MSI-X to INTx while shutting down the device." The implication was that the device was buggy, but it is normal for a device to use INTx after MSI/MSI-X have been disabled. The only problem was that the driver was still attached and it wasn't prepared for INTx interrupts. Prarit Bhargava fixed this issue with fda78d7a0ead ("PCI/MSI: Stop disabling MSI/MSI-X in pci_device_shutdown()"). There is no automated way to set this parameter, so it's not very useful for distributions or end users. It's really only useful for debugging, and we have "pci=nomsi" for that purpose.

Trying quirks in usbcore needs to rebuild the driver or the entire kernel if it's builtin. It can save a lot of time if usbcore has similar ability like "usbhid.quirks=" and "usb-storage.quirks=". Rename the original quirk detection function to "static" as we introduce this new "dynamic" function. Now users can use "usbcore.quirks=" as short term workaround before the next kernel release. Also, the quirk parameter can XOR the builtin quirks for debugging purpose. This is inspired by usbhid and usb-storage.

Support access to VMware backdoor requires KVM to intercept #GP exceptions from guest which introduce slight performance hit. Therefore, control this support by module parameter. Note that module parameter is exported as it should be consumed by kvm_intel & kvm_amd to determine if they should intercept #GP or not. This commit doesn't change semantics. It is done as a preparation for future commits.

2018-03-16arch: remove blackfin portArnd Bergmann2-2/+1
The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up. Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant, and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when doing cross-architecture changes.

2018-03-14irqchip/gic-v3: Allow LPIs to be disabled from the command lineMarc Zyngier1-0/+8
For most GICv3 implementations, enabling LPIs is a one way switch. Once they're on, there is no turning back, which completely kills kexec (pending tables will always be live, and we can't tell the secondary kernel where they are). This is really annoying if you plan to use Linux as a bootloader, as it pretty much guarantees that the secondary kernel won't be able to use MSIs, and may even see some memory corruption. Bad. A workaround for this unfortunate situation is to allow the kernel not to enable LPIs, even if the feature is present in the HW. This would allow Linux-as-a-bootloader to leave LPIs alone, and let the secondary kernel to do whatever it wants with them. Let's introduce a boolean "irqchip.gicv3_nolpi" command line option that serves that purpose. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>

I think we need to soften the language a bit. It might scare folks off, especially the: We prefer to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible. which is not really the case. Linus says: It's not full disclosure, it's not coordinated disclosure, and it's not "no disclosure". It's more like just "timely open fixes". I changed a bit of the wording in here, but mostly to remove the word "disclosure" since it seems to mean very specific things to people that we do not mean here.

Unless you have earlyprintk enabled, there is no indication of what the problem is on the console.

The syntax is: memmap=<size>%<offset>-<oldtype>+<newtype> Size and offset work as usual. The "-<oldtype>" and "+<newtype>" are optional and their existence determine the behavior: The command works on the specified range of memory limited to type <oldtype> (if specified).
