This allows to switch x86/64 to struct pt_regs based syscalls.

2018-01-05x86/kaslr: Fix the vaddr_end messThomas Gleixner1-0/+6
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.

(Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.)

(By Kirill A. Shutemov) - Add 'encrypted memory' support, which is a new hardware feature on upcoming AMD CPUs ('Secure Memory Encryption', SME) allowing system RAM to be encrypted and decrypted (mostly) transparently by the CPU, with a little help from the kernel to transition to/from encrypted RAM. Such RAM should be more secure against various attacks like RAM access via the memory bus and should make the radio signature of memory bus traffic harder to intercept (and decrypt) as well. This feature is activated via CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y - disabled by default.

2017-08-01x86/intel_rdt: Show bitmask of shareable resource with other executing unitsFenghua Yu1-0/+7
CPUID.(EAX=0x10, ECX=res#):EBX[31:0] reports a bit mask for a resource. Each set bit within the length of the CBM indicates the corresponding unit of the resource allocation may be used by other entities in the platform (e.g. an integrated graphics engine or hardware units outside the processor core and have direct access to the resource). Each cleared bit within the length of the CBM indicates the corresponding allocation unit can be configured to implement a priority-based allocation scheme without interference with other hardware agents in the system. Bits outside the length of the CBM are reserved. More details on the bit mask are described in x86 Software Developer's Manual. The bitmask is shown in "info" directory for each resource. It's up to user to decide how to use the bitmask within a CBM in a partition to share or isolate a resource with other executing units.

2017-07-26x86/unwind: Add the ORC unwinderJosh Poimboeuf1-0/+179
Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y. It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework. It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and .orc_unwind_ip sections. For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to profiling workloads like perf. Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas: splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.
