cpu/speculation: Add 'mitigations=' cmdline option

2019-05-22T22:15:26+00:00

commit 98af8452945c55652de68536afdde3b520fec429 upstream. Keeping track of the number of mitigations for all the CPU speculation bugs has become overwhelming for many users. It's getting more and more complicated to decide which mitigations are needed for a given architecture. Complicating matters is the fact that each arch tends to have its own custom way to mitigate the same vulnerability. Most users fall into a few basic categories: a) they want all mitigations off; b) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT enabled even if it's vulnerable; or c) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT disabled if vulnerable. Define a set of curated, arch-independent options, each of which is an aggregation of existing options: - mitigations=off: Disable all mitigations. - mitigations=auto: [default] Enable all the default mitigations, but leave SMT enabled, even if it's vulnerable. - mitigations=auto,nosmt: Enable all the default mitigations, disabling SMT if needed by a mitigation. Currently, these options are placeholders which don't actually do anything. They will be fleshed out in upcoming patches.

x86/speculation/mds: Add sysfs reporting for MDS

x86/speculation/l1tf: Add sysfs reporting for l1tf

2018-10-03T03:10:01+00:00

commit 17dbca119312b4e8173d4e25ff64262119fcef38 upstream. L1TF core kernel workarounds are cheap and normally always enabled, However they still should be reported in sysfs if the system is vulnerable or mitigated. Add the necessary CPU feature/bug bits. - Extend the existing checks for Meltdowns to determine if the system is vulnerable. All CPUs which are not vulnerable to Meltdown are also not vulnerable to L1TF - Check for 32bit non PAE and emit a warning as there is no practical way for mitigation due to the limited physical address bits - If the system has more than MAX_PA/2 physical memory the invert page workarounds don't protect the system against the L1TF attack anymore, because an inverted physical address will also point to valid memory. Print a warning in this case and report that the system is vulnerable. Add a function which returns the PFN limit for the L1TF mitigation, which will be used in follow up patches for sanity and range checks.

commit c456442cd3a59eeb1d60293c26cbe2ff2c4e42cf upstream. Add the sysfs file for the new vulerability. It does not do much except show the words 'Vulnerable' for recent x86 cores. Intel cores prior to family 6 are known not to be vulnerable, and so are some Atoms and some Xeon Phi. It assumes that older Cyrix, Centaur, etc. cores are immune.

sysfs/cpu: Add vulnerability folder

2018-03-19T18:59:04+00:00

commit 87590ce6e373d1a5401f6539f0c59ef92dd924a9 upstream. As the meltdown/spectre problem affects several CPU architectures, it makes sense to have common way to express whether a system is affected by a particular vulnerability or not. If affected the way to express the mitigation should be common as well. Create /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities folder and files for meltdown, spectre_v1 and spectre_v2. Allow architectures to override the show function.

hotplug: Make register and unregister notifier API symmetric

2017-03-16T02:26:31+00:00

commit 777c6e0daebb3fcefbbd6f620410a946b07ef6d0 upstream. Yu Zhao has noticed that __unregister_cpu_notifier only unregisters its notifiers when HOTPLUG_CPU=y while the registration might succeed even when HOTPLUG_CPU=n if MODULE is enabled. This means that e.g. zswap might keep a stale notifier on the list on the manual clean up during the pool tear down and thus corrupt the list. Resulting in the following [ 144.964346] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880658a2be78 [ 144.971337] IP: [] raw_notifier_chain_register+0x1b/0x40 [ 145.122628] Call Trace: [ 145.125086] [] __register_cpu_notifier+0x18/0x20 [ 145.131350] [] zswap_pool_create+0x273/0x400 [ 145.137268] [] __zswap_param_set+0x1fc/0x300 [ 145.143188] [] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0x10 [ 145.149018] [] ? kernel_param_lock+0x28/0x30 [ 145.154940] [] ? __might_fault+0x4f/0xa0 [ 145.160511] [] zswap_compressor_param_set+0x17/0x20 [ 145.167035] [] param_attr_store+0x5c/0xb0 [ 145.172694] [] module_attr_store+0x1d/0x30 [ 145.178443] [] sysfs_kf_write+0x4f/0x70 [ 145.183925] [] kernfs_fop_write+0x149/0x180 [ 145.189761] [] __vfs_write+0x18/0x40 [ 145.194982] [] vfs_write+0xb2/0x1a0 [ 145.200122] [] SyS_write+0x52/0xa0 [ 145.205177] [] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x17 This can be even triggered manually by changing /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor multiple times.

cpu: Defer smpboot kthread unparking until CPU known to scheduler

2016-03-30T11:02:54+00:00

commit 00df35f991914db6b8bde8cf09808e19a9cffc3d upstream. Currently, smpboot_unpark_threads() is invoked before the incoming CPU has been added to the scheduler's runqueue structures. This might potentially cause the unparked kthread to run on the wrong CPU, since the correct CPU isn't fully set up yet. That causes a sporadic, hard to debug boot crash triggering on some systems, reported by Borislav Petkov, and bisected down to: 2a442c9c6453 ("x86: Use common outgoing-CPU-notification code") This patch places smpboot_unpark_threads() in a CPU hotplug notifier with priority set so that these kthreads are unparked just after the CPU has been added to the runqueues.
