commit a493d1ca1a03b532871f1da27f8dbda2b28b04c4 upstream.

sync_core_before_usermode() had an incorrect optimization.  If the kernel
returns from an interrupt, it can get to usermode without IRET. It just has
to schedule to a different task in the same mm and do SYSRET.  Fortunately,
there were no callers of sync_core_before_usermode() that could have had
in_irq() or in_nmi() equal to true, because it's only ever called from the
scheduler.

While at it, clarify a related comment.

commit 29ac40cbed2bc06fa218ca25d7f5e280d3d08a25 upstream.

The PAT bit is in different locations for 4k and 2M/1G page table
entries.

Add a definition for _PAGE_LARGE_CACHE_MASK to represent the three
caching bits (PWT, PCD, PAT), similar to _PAGE_CACHE_MASK for 4k pages,
and use it in the definition of PMD_FLAGS_DEC_WP to get the correct PAT
index for write-protected pages.

[ Upstream commit 58c644ba512cfbc2e39b758dd979edd1d6d00e27 ]

We call arch_cpu_idle() with RCU disabled, but then use
local_irq_{en,dis}able(), which invokes tracing, which relies on RCU.

Switch all arch_cpu_idle() implementations to use
raw_local_irq_{en,dis}able() and carefully manage the
lockdep,rcu,tracing state like we do in entry.

(XXX: we really should change arch_cpu_idle() to not return with
interrupts enabled)

commit 4e9a5ae8df5b3365183150f6df49e49dece80d8c upstream.

Since insn.prefixes.nbytes can be bigger than the size of
insn.prefixes.bytes[] when a prefix is repeated, the proper check must
be

  insn.prefixes.bytes[i] != 0 and i &lt; 4

instead of using insn.prefixes.nbytes.

Introduce a for_each_insn_prefix() macro for this purpose. Debugged by

<title>KVM: x86: Fix split-irqchip vs interrupt injection window request</title>

<id>urn:sha1:94e5742868ec0584f0e84a0029a59170f14d1af5</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 71cc849b7093bb83af966c0e60cb11b7f35cd746 upstream.

kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr and kvm_vcpu_ready_for_interrupt_injection are
a hodge-podge of conditions, hacked together to get something that
more or less works.  But what is actually needed is much simpler;
in both cases the fundamental question is, do we have a place to stash
an interrupt if userspace does KVM_INTERRUPT?

In userspace irqchip mode, that is !vcpu-&gt;arch.interrupt.injected.
Currently kvm_event_needs_reinjection(vcpu) covers it, but it is
unnecessarily restrictive.

In split irqchip mode it's a bit more complicated, we need to check
kvm_apic_accept_pic_intr(vcpu) (the IRQ window exit is basically an INTACK
cycle and thus requires ExtINTs not to be masked) as well as
!pending_userspace_extint(vcpu).  However, there is no need to
check kvm_event_needs_reinjection(vcpu), since split irqchip keeps
pending ExtINT state separate from event injection state, and checking
kvm_cpu_has_interrupt(vcpu) is wrong too since ExtINT has higher
priority than APIC interrupts.  In fact the latter fixes a bug:
when userspace requests an IRQ window vmexit, an interrupt in the
local APIC can cause kvm_cpu_has_interrupt() to be true and thus
kvm_vcpu_ready_for_interrupt_injection() to return false.  When this
happens, vcpu_run does not exit to userspace but the interrupt window
vmexits keep occurring.  The VM loops without any hope of making progress.

Once we try to fix these with something like

     return kvm_arch_interrupt_allowed(vcpu) &amp;&amp;
-        !kvm_cpu_has_interrupt(vcpu) &amp;&amp;
-        !kvm_event_needs_reinjection(vcpu) &amp;&amp;
-        kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr(vcpu);
+        (!lapic_in_kernel(vcpu)
+         ? !vcpu-&gt;arch.interrupt.injected
+         : (kvm_apic_accept_pic_intr(vcpu)
+            &amp;&amp; !pending_userspace_extint(v)));

we realize two things.  First, thanks to the previous patch the complex
conditional can reuse !kvm_cpu_has_extint(vcpu).  Second, the interrupt
window request in vcpu_enter_guest()

        bool req_int_win =
                dm_request_for_irq_injection(vcpu) &amp;&amp;
                kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr(vcpu);

should be kept in sync with kvm_vcpu_ready_for_interrupt_injection():
it is unnecessary to ask the processor for an interrupt window
if we would not be able to return to userspace.  Therefore,
kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr(vcpu) is basically !kvm_cpu_has_extint(vcpu)
ANDed with the existing check for masked ExtINT.  It all makes sense:

- we can accept an interrupt from userspace if there is a place
  to stash it (and, for irqchip split, ExtINTs are not masked).
  Interrupts from userspace _can_ be accepted even if right now
  EFLAGS.IF=0.

- in order to tell userspace we will inject its interrupt ("IRQ
  window open" i.e. kvm_vcpu_ready_for_interrupt_injection), both
  KVM and the vCPU need to be ready to accept the interrupt.

... and this is what the patch implements.

commit 36e1be8ada994d509538b3b1d0af8b63c351e729 upstream.

Neither IbsBrTarget nor OPDATA4 are populated in IBS Fetch mode.
Don't accumulate them into raw sample user data in that case.

Also, in Fetch mode, add saving the IBS Fetch Control Extended MSR.

Technically, there is an ABI change here with respect to the IBS raw
sample data format, but I don't see any perf driver version information
being included in perf.data file headers, but, existing users can detect
whether the size of the sample record has reduced by 8 bytes to
determine whether the IBS driver has this fix.

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.

Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:
