git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip 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" * 'x86-cache-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (45 commits) x86/intel_rdt: Disable PMU access x86/intel_rdt: Fix possible circular lock dependency x86/intel_rdt: Make CPU information accessible for pseudo-locked regions x86/intel_rdt: Support restoration of subset of permissions x86/intel_rdt: Fix cleanup of plr structure on error x86/intel_rdt: Move pseudo_lock_region_clear() x86/intel_rdt: Limit C-states dynamically when pseudo-locking active x86/intel_rdt: Support L3 cache performance event of Broadwell x86/intel_rdt: More precise L2 hit/miss measurements x86/intel_rdt: Create character device exposing pseudo-locked region x86/intel_rdt: Create debugfs files for pseudo-locking testing x86/intel_rdt: Create resctrl debug area x86/intel_rdt: Ensure RDT cleanup on exit x86/intel_rdt: Resctrl files reflect pseudo-locked information x86/intel_rdt: Support creation/removal of pseudo-locked region x86/intel_rdt: Pseudo-lock region creation/removal core x86/intel_rdt: Discover supported platforms via prefetch disable bits x86/intel_rdt: Add utilities to test pseudo-locked region possibility x86/intel_rdt: Split resource group removal in two x86/intel_rdt: Enable entering of pseudo-locksetup mode ...
2018-07-20x86/tsc: Redefine notsc to behave as tsc=unstablePavel Tatashin1-3/+1
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.

2018-07-06x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capabilityDan Williams1-0/+4
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. numa=fake=6 available: 5 nodes (0-4) node 0 cpus: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 node 0 size: 2648 MB node 0 free: 2443 MB node 1 cpus: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 node 1 size: 2672 MB node 1 free: 2442 MB node 2 cpus: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 node 2 size: 5291 MB node 2 free: 5278 MB node 3 cpus: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 node 3 size: 2677 MB node 3 free: 2665 MB node 4 cpus: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 node 4 size: 2676 MB node 4 free: 2663 MB node distances: node 0 1 2 3 4 0: 10 20 10 20 20 1: 20 10 20 10 10 2: 10 20 10 20 20 3: 20 10 20 10 10 4: 20 10 20 10 10 numa=fake=3U available: 6 nodes (0-5) node 0 cpus: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 node 0 size: 2900 MB node 0 free: 2637 MB node 1 cpus: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 node 1 size: 3023 MB node 1 free: 3012 MB node 2 cpus: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 node 2 size: 2015 MB node 2 free: 2004 MB node 3 cpus: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 node 3 size: 2704 MB node 3 free: 2522 MB node 4 cpus: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 node 4 size: 2709 MB node 4 free: 2698 MB node 5 cpus: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 node 5 size: 2612 MB node 5 free: 2601 MB node distances: node 0 1 2 3 4 5 0: 10 10 10 20 20 20 1: 10 10 10 20 20 20 2: 10 10 10 20 20 20 3: 20 20 20 10 10 10 4: 20 20 20 10 10 10 5: 20 20 20 10 10 10 Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@gmail.com> Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/153089328617.27680.14930758266174305832.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2018-07-03x86/intel_rdt: Make CPU information accessible for pseudo-locked regionsReinette Chatre1-0/+3
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.

2018-06-24x86/intel_rdt: Limit C-states dynamically when pseudo-locking activeReinette Chatre1-2/+2
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.

2018-06-23x86/intel_rdt: Document new mode, size, and bit_usageReinette Chatre1-2/+97
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.

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.

2018-01-05x86/mm: Set MODULES_END to 0xffffffffff000000Andrey Ryabinin1-4/+1
Since f06bdd4001c2 ("x86/mm: Adapt MODULES_END based on fixmap section size") kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) could be not aligned to a page boundary. So passing page unaligned address to kasan_populate_zero_shadow() have two possible effects: 1) It may leave one page hole in supposed to be populated area. After commit 21506525fb8d ("x86/kasan/64: Teach KASAN about the cpu_entry_area") that hole happens to be in the shadow covering fixmap area and leads to crash: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffbffffe8ee04 RIP: 0010:check_memory_region+0x5c/0x190 Call Trace: <NMI> memcpy+0x1f/0x50 ghes_copy_tofrom_phys+0xab/0x180 ghes_read_estatus+0xfb/0x280 ghes_notify_nmi+0x2b2/0x410 nmi_handle+0x115/0x2c0 default_do_nmi+0x57/0x110 do_nmi+0xf8/0x150 end_repeat_nmi+0x1a/0x1e Note, the crash likely disappeared after commit 92a0f81d8957, which changed kasan_populate_zero_shadow() call the way it was before commit 21506525fb8d. 2) Attempt to load module near MODULES_END will fail, because __vmalloc_node_range() called from kasan_module_alloc() will hit the WARN_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in the vmap_pte_range() and bail out with error. To fix this we need to make kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) page aligned which means that MODULES_END should be 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned. The whole point of commit f06bdd4001c2 was to move MODULES_END down if NR_CPUS is big, so the cpu_entry_area takes a lot of space. But since 92a0f81d8957 ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap") the cpu_entry_area is no longer in fixmap, so we could just set MODULES_END to a fixed 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned address.

2017-12-23x86/pti: Put the LDT in its own PGD if PTI is onAndy Lutomirski1-1/+2
With PTI enabled, the LDT must be mapped in the usermode tables somewhere. The LDT is per process, i.e. per mm. An earlier approach mapped the LDT on context switch into a fixmap area, but that's a big overhead and exhausted the fixmap space when NR_CPUS got big. Take advantage of the fact that there is an address space hole which provides a completely unused pgd. Use this pgd to manage per-mm LDT mappings. This has a down side: the LDT isn't (currently) randomized, and an attack that can write the LDT is instant root due to call gates (thanks, AMD, for leaving call gates in AMD64 but designing them wrong so they're only useful for exploits). This can be mitigated by making the LDT read-only or randomizing the mapping, either of which is strightforward on top of this patch. This will significantly slow down LDT users, but that shouldn't matter for important workloads -- the LDT is only used by DOSEMU(2), Wine, and very old libc implementations.

The original plan was to have twenty three matching the date, but a late fixup made that moot. - Move the cpu_entry_area mapping out of the fixmap into a separate address space. That's necessary because the fixmap becomes too big with NRCPUS=8192 and this caused already subtle and hard to diagnose failures. The top most patch is fresh from today and cures a brain slip of that tall grumpy german greybeard, who ignored the intricacies of 32bit wraparounds. - Limit the number of CPUs on 32bit to 64. That's insane big already, but at least it's small enough to prevent address space issues with the cpu_entry_area map, which have been observed and debugged with the fixmap code - A few TLB flush fixes in various places plus documentation which of the TLB functions should be used for what. - Rename the SYSENTER stack to CPU_ENTRY_AREA stack as it is used for more than sysenter now and keeping the name makes backtraces confusing. - Prevent LDT inheritance on exec() by moving it to arch_dup_mmap(), which is only invoked on fork(). - Make vysycall more robust. - A few fixes and cleanups of the debug_pagetables code. Check PAGE_PRESENT instead of checking the PTE for 0 and a cleanup of the C89 initialization of the address hint array which already was out of sync with the index enums. - Move the ESPFIX init to a different place to prepare for PTI. - Several code moves with no functional change to make PTI integration simpler and header files less convoluted. - Documentation fixes and clarifications" * 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (24 commits) x86/cpu_entry_area: Prevent wraparound in setup_cpu_entry_area_ptes() on 32bit init: Invoke init_espfix_bsp() from mm_init() x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it to a separate unit x86/mm: Create asm/invpcid.h x86/mm: Put MMU to hardware ASID translation in one place x86/mm: Remove hard-coded ASID limit checks x86/mm: Move the CR3 construction functions to tlbflush.h x86/mm: Add comments to clarify which TLB-flush functions are supposed to flush what x86/mm: Remove superfluous barriers x86/mm: Use __flush_tlb_one() for kernel memory x86/microcode: Dont abuse the TLB-flush interface x86/uv: Use the right TLB-flush API x86/entry: Rename SYSENTER_stack to CPU_ENTRY_AREA_entry_stack x86/doc: Remove obvious weirdnesses from the x86 MM layout documentation x86/mm/64: Improve the memory map documentation x86/ldt: Prevent LDT inheritance on exec x86/ldt: Rework locking arch, mm: Allow arch_dup_mmap() to fail x86/vsyscall/64: Warn and fail vsyscall emulation in NATIVE mode ...

2017-10-20x86/kasan: Use the same shadow offset for 4- and 5-level pagingAndrey Ryabinin1-1/+1
We are going to support boot-time switching between 4- and 5-level paging. For KASAN it means we cannot have different KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET for different paging modes: the constant is passed to gcc to generate code and cannot be changed at runtime. This patch changes KASAN code to use 0xdffffc0000000000 as shadow offset for both 4- and 5-level paging. For 5-level paging it means that shadow memory region is not aligned to PGD boundary anymore and we have to handle unaligned parts of the region properly. In addition, we have to exclude paravirt code from KASAN instrumentation as we now use set_pgd() before KASAN is fully ready.
