commit c21b90f77687075115d989e53a8ec5e2bb427ab1 upstream.

Make sure resources are not improperly shared in the op cache and
cause instruction corruption this way.

Commit 232afb557835d6f6859c73bf610bad308c96b131 upstream.

Add a synthetic feature flag specifically for first generation Zen
machines. There's need to have a generic flag for all Zen generations so
make X86_FEATURE_ZEN be that flag.

<title>work around gcc bugs with 'asm goto' with outputs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f70efe54b97e95c369ab3f46cdbed8b5608e36d7</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 68fb3ca0e408e00db1c3f8fccdfa19e274c033be upstream.

We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").

Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.

Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround.  But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.

It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:

 (a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
     has outputs:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420

     which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.

 (b) Internal compiler errors:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422

     which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
     barrier, as in the original workaround.

but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.

The same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

DE_CFG contains the LFENCE serializing bit, restore it on resume too.
This is relevant to older families due to the way how they do S3.

Unify and correct naming while at it.

Now one can trace systemwide asking to see backtraces to where that MSR
is being read/written, see this example with a previous update:

  # perf trace -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr&gt;=IA32_U_CET &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=IA32_INT_SSP_TAB"
  ^C#

If we use -v (verbose mode) we can see what it does behind the scenes:

  # perf trace -v -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr&gt;=IA32_U_CET &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=IA32_INT_SSP_TAB"
  Using CPUID AuthenticAMD-25-21-0
  0x6a0
  0x6a8
  New filter for msr:read_msr: (msr&gt;=0x6a0 &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=0x6a8) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 597499 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 3313)
  0x6a0
  0x6a8
  New filter for msr:write_msr: (msr&gt;=0x6a0 &amp;&amp; msr&lt;=0x6a8) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 597499 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 3313)
  mmap size 528384B
  ^C#

Example with a frequent msr:

  # perf trace -v -e msr:*_msr/max-stack=32/ --filter="msr==IA32_SPEC_CTRL" --max-events 2
  Using CPUID AuthenticAMD-25-21-0
  0x48
  New filter for msr:read_msr: (msr==0x48) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 2612129 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 3841)

GCC has supported asm goto since 4.5, and Clang has since version 9.0.0.
The minimum supported versions of these tools for the build according to
Documentation/process/changes.rst are 5.1 and 11.0.0 respectively.

Remove the feature detection script, Kconfig option, and clean up some
fallback code that is no longer supported.

The removed script was also testing for a GCC specific bug that was
fixed in the 4.7 release.

Also remove workarounds for bpftrace using clang older than 9.0.0, since
other BPF backend fixes are required at this point.
