commit 29b32839725f8c89a41cb6ee054c85f3116ea8b5 upstream.

When an Intel IOMMU is virtualized, and a physical device is
passed-through to the VM, changes of the virtual IOMMU need to be
propagated to the physical IOMMU. The hypervisor therefore needs to
monitor PTE mappings in the IOMMU page-tables. Intel specifications
provide "caching-mode" capability that a virtual IOMMU uses to report
that the IOMMU is virtualized and a TLB flush is needed after mapping to
allow the hypervisor to propagate virtual IOMMU mappings to the physical
IOMMU. To the best of my knowledge no real physical IOMMU reports
"caching-mode" as turned on.

Synchronizing the virtual and the physical IOMMU tables is expensive if
the hypervisor is unaware which PTEs have changed, as the hypervisor is
required to walk all the virtualized tables and look for changes.
Consequently, domain flushes are much more expensive than page-specific
flushes on virtualized IOMMUs with passthrough devices. The kernel
therefore exploited the "caching-mode" indication to avoid domain
flushing and use page-specific flushing in virtualized environments. See
commit 78d5f0f500e6 ("intel-iommu: Avoid global flushes with caching
mode.")

This behavior changed after commit 13cf01744608 ("iommu/vt-d: Make use
of iova deferred flushing"). Now, when batched TLB flushing is used (the
default), full TLB domain flushes are performed frequently, requiring
the hypervisor to perform expensive synchronization between the virtual
TLB and the physical one.

Getting batched TLB flushes to use page-specific invalidations again in
such circumstances is not easy, since the TLB invalidation scheme
assumes that "full" domain TLB flushes are performed for scalability.

Disable batched TLB flushes when caching-mode is on, as the performance
benefit from using batched TLB invalidations is likely to be much
smaller than the overhead of the virtual-to-physical IOMMU page-tables
synchronization.

<title>ACPI: thermal: Do not call acpi_thermal_check() directly</title>

<id>urn:sha1:53e37f9950b3fc833bc7b0e01ba65262b2fa9d25</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 81b704d3e4674e09781d331df73d76675d5ad8cb upstream.

Calling acpi_thermal_check() from acpi_thermal_notify() directly
is problematic if _TMP triggers Notify () on the thermal zone for
which it has been evaluated (which happens on some systems), because
it causes a new acpi_thermal_notify() invocation to be queued up
every time and if that takes place too often, an indefinite number of
pending work items may accumulate in kacpi_notify_wq over time.

Besides, it is not really useful to queue up a new invocation of
acpi_thermal_check() if one of them is pending already.

For these reasons, rework acpi_thermal_notify() to queue up a thermal
check instead of calling acpi_thermal_check() directly and only allow
one thermal check to be pending at a time.  Moreover, only allow one
acpi_thermal_check_fn() instance at a time to run
thermal_zone_device_update() for one thermal zone and make it return
early if it sees other instances running for the same thermal zone.

While at it, fold acpi_thermal_check() into acpi_thermal_check_fn(),
as it is only called from there after the other changes made here.

[This issue appears to have been exposed by commit 6d25be5782e4
 ("sched/core, workqueues: Distangle worker accounting from rq
 lock"), but it is unclear why it was not visible earlier.]

There is a fork of this driver on GitHub [0] that has been updated
with new device IDs.

Merge those into the mainline driver, so the out-of-tree fork is not
needed for users of those devices anymore.

<title>x86/apic: Add extra serialization for non-serializing MSRs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8cc3e209628bcbe352246bec1bc2d28196023549</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 25a068b8e9a4eb193d755d58efcb3c98928636e0 upstream.

Jan Kiszka reported that the x2apic_wrmsr_fence() function uses a plain
MFENCE while the Intel SDM (10.12.3 MSR Access in x2APIC Mode) calls for
MFENCE; LFENCE.

Short summary: we have special MSRs that have weaker ordering than all
the rest. Add fencing consistent with current SDM recommendations.

This is not known to cause any issues in practice, only in theory.

Longer story below:

The reason the kernel uses a different semantic is that the SDM changed
(roughly in late 2017). The SDM changed because folks at Intel were
auditing all of the recommended fences in the SDM and realized that the
x2apic fences were insufficient.

Why was the pain MFENCE judged insufficient?

WRMSR itself is normally a serializing instruction. No fences are needed
because the instruction itself serializes everything.

But, there are explicit exceptions for this serializing behavior written
into the WRMSR instruction documentation for two classes of MSRs:
IA32_TSC_DEADLINE and the X2APIC MSRs.

Back to x2apic: WRMSR is *not* serializing in this specific case.
But why is MFENCE insufficient? MFENCE makes writes visible, but
only affects load/store instructions. WRMSR is unfortunately not a
load/store instruction and is unaffected by MFENCE. This means that a
non-serializing WRMSR could be reordered by the CPU to execute before
the writes made visible by the MFENCE have even occurred in the first
place.

This means that an x2apic IPI could theoretically be triggered before
there is any (visible) data to process.

Does this affect anything in practice? I honestly don't know. It seems
quite possible that by the time an interrupt gets to consume the (not
yet) MFENCE'd data, it has become visible, mostly by accident.

To be safe, add the SDM-recommended fences for all x2apic WRMSRs.

This also leaves open the question of the _other_ weakly-ordered WRMSR:
MSR_IA32_TSC_DEADLINE. While it has the same ordering architecture as
the x2APIC MSRs, it seems substantially less likely to be a problem in
practice. While writes to the in-memory Local Vector Table (LVT) might
theoretically be reordered with respect to a weakly-ordered WRMSR like
TSC_DEADLINE, the SDM has this to say:

  In x2APIC mode, the WRMSR instruction is used to write to the LVT
  entry. The processor ensures the ordering of this write and any
  subsequent WRMSR to the deadline; no fencing is required.

But, that might still leave xAPIC exposed. The safest thing to do for
now is to add the extra, recommended LFENCE.

<title>x86/build: Disable CET instrumentation in the kernel</title>

commit 20bf2b378729c4a0366a53e2018a0b70ace94bcd upstream.

With retpolines disabled, some configurations of GCC, and specifically
the GCC versions 9 and 10 in Ubuntu will add Intel CET instrumentation
to the kernel by default. That breaks certain tracing scenarios by
adding a superfluous ENDBR64 instruction before the fentry call, for
functions which can be called indirectly.

CET instrumentation isn't currently necessary in the kernel, as CET is
only supported in user space. Disable it unconditionally and move it
into the x86's Makefile as CET/CFI... enablement should be a per-arch
decision anyway.

commit 1c2f67308af4c102b4e1e6cd6f69819ae59408e0 upstream.

Sergey reported deadlock between kswapd correctly doing its usual
lock_page(page) followed by down_read(page-&gt;mapping-&gt;i_mmap_rwsem), and
madvise(MADV_REMOVE) on an madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) area doing
down_write(page-&gt;mapping-&gt;i_mmap_rwsem) followed by lock_page(page).

This happened when shmem_fallocate(punch hole)'s unmap_mapping_range()
reaches zap_pmd_range()'s call to __split_huge_pmd().  The same deadlock
could occur when partially truncating a mapped huge tmpfs file, or using
fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) on it.

__split_huge_pmd()'s page lock was added in 5.8, to make sure that any
concurrent use of reuse_swap_page() (holding page lock) could not catch
the anon THP's mapcounts and swapcounts while they were being split.

Fortunately, reuse_swap_page() is never applied to a shmem or file THP
(not even by khugepaged, which checks PageSwapCache before calling), and
anonymous THPs are never created in shmem or file areas: so that
__split_huge_pmd()'s page lock can only be necessary for anonymous THPs,
on which there is no risk of deadlock with i_mmap_rwsem.

The page_huge_active() can be called from scan_movable_pages() which do
not hold a reference count to the HugeTLB page.  So when we call
page_huge_active() from scan_movable_pages(), the HugeTLB page can be
freed parallel.  Then we will trigger a BUG_ON which is in the
page_huge_active() when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled.  Just remove the
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE.

        // trigger BUG_ON
        VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHuge(page), page)
      spin_unlock(&amp;hugetlb_lock)

When we isolate a HugeTLB page on CPU0.  Meanwhile, we free it to the
buddy allocator on CPU1.  Then, we can trigger a BUG_ON on CPU0, because
it is already freed to the buddy allocator.
