Linear Address Masking (LAM) has a weakness related to transient
execution as described in the SLAM paper[1]. Unless Linear Address
Space Separation (LASS) is enabled this weakness may be exploitable.
Until kernel adds support for LASS[2], only allow LAM for COMPILE_TEST,
or when speculation mitigations have been disabled at compile time,
otherwise keep LAM disabled.
There are no processors in market that support LAM yet, so currently
nobody is affected by this issue.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
in this pull request are:
- "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.
- "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.
- "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
functional changes - code cleanups only.
- "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
little cleanup.
- "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
simplifications and .text shrinkage.
- "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as
$ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
kstack_1k 3
kstack_2k 188
kstack_4k 11391
kstack_8k 243
kstack_16k 0
which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".
- "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.
- "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
independent small optimizations of page counters".
- "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.
- "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.
Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()
unneeded.
- "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the
cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.
- "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo
Stoakes. Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation
APIs. With a view to better enable testing of the VMA functions,
even from a userspace-only harness.
- "mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki. Fix
issues in the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved
performance.
- "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao. Fill
in some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.
- "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.
Code cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk())
resulting in the removal of follow_page().
- "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat
Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant
reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.
- "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill
Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,
- "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on
DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied
yet.
- "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha
Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple
tree library code.
- "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt. Move

Helpers to install and detect special pmd/pud entries. In short, bit 9 on
x86 is not used for pmd/pud, so we can directly define them the same as
the pte level. One note is that it's also used in _PAGE_BIT_CPA_TEST but
that is only used in the debug test, and shouldn't conflict in this case.
One note is that pxx_set|clear_flags() for pmd/pud will need to be moved
upper so that they can be referenced by the new special bit helpers.
There's no change in the code that was moved.

DMA ops are a helper for architectures and not for drivers to override
the DMA implementation.
Unfortunately driver authors keep ignoring this. Make the fact more
clear by renaming the symbol to ARCH_HAS_DMA_OPS and having the two drivers
overriding their dma_ops depend on that. These drivers should probably be
marked broken, but we can give them a bit of a grace period for that.

Currently, the CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is halfway populated, where some
mitigations have entries in Kconfig, and they could be modified, while others
mitigations do not have Kconfig entries, and could not be controlled at build
time.
Create a new kernel config that allows GDS to be completely disabled,
similarly to the "gather_data_sampling=off" or "mitigations=off" kernel
command-line.
Now, there are two options for GDS mitigation:
* CONFIG_MITIGATION_GDS=n -> Mitigation disabled (New)
* CONFIG_MITIGATION_GDS=y -> Mitigation enabled (GDS_MITIGATION_FULL)

Remove the MITIGATION_GDS_FORCE Kconfig option, which aggressively disables
AVX as a mitigation for Gather Data Sampling (GDS) vulnerabilities. This
option is not widely used by distros.
While removing the Kconfig option, retain the runtime configuration ability
through the `gather_data_sampling=force` kernel parameter. This allows users
to still enable this aggressive mitigation if needed, without baking it into
the kernel configuration.
Simplify the kernel configuration while maintaining flexibility for runtime
mitigation choices.

Add a new .note section containing type, size, offset and flags of every
xfeature that is present.
This information will be used by debuggers to understand the XSAVE layout of
the machine where the core file has been dumped, and to read XSAVE registers,
especially during cross-platform debugging.
The XSAVE layouts of modern AMD and Intel CPUs differ, especially since
Memory Protection Keys and the AVX-512 features have been inculcated into
the AMD CPUs.
Since AMD never adopted (and hence never left room in the XSAVE layout for)
the Intel MPX feature, tools like GDB had assumed a fixed XSAVE layout
matching that of Intel (based on the XCR0 mask).
Hence, core dumps from AMD CPUs didn't match the known size for the XCR0 mask.
This resulted in GDB and other tools not being able to access the values of
the AVX-512 and PKRU registers on AMD CPUs.
To solve this, an interim solution has been accepted into GDB, and is already
a part of GDB 14, see
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-March/198081.html.
But it depends on heuristics based on the total XSAVE register set size
and the XCR0 mask to infer the layouts of the various register blocks
for core dumps, and hence, is not a foolproof mechanism to determine the
layout of the XSAVE area.
Therefore, add a new core dump note in order to allow GDB/LLDB and other
relevant tools to determine the layout of the XSAVE area of the machine where
the corefile was dumped.
The new core dump note (which is being proposed as a per-process .note
section), NT_X86_XSAVE_LAYOUT (0x205) contains an array of structures.
Each structure describes an individual extended feature containing
offset, size and flags in this format:
struct x86_xfeat_component {
u32 type;
u32 size;
u32 offset;
u32 flags;
};
and in an independent manner, allowing for future extensions without depending
on hw arch specifics like CPUID etc.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"This adds getrandom() support to the vDSO.
First, it adds a new kind of mapping to mmap(2), MAP_DROPPABLE, which
lets the kernel zero out pages anytime under memory pressure, which
enables allocating memory that never gets swapped to disk but also
doesn't count as being mlocked.
Then, the vDSO implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a
generic manner and hooked into random.c.
Next, this is implemented on x86. (Also, though it's not ready for
this pull, somebody has begun an arm64 implementation already)
Finally, two vDSO selftests are added.
There are also two housekeeping cleanup commits"

Hook up the generic vDSO implementation to the x86 vDSO data page. Since
the existing vDSO infrastructure is heavily based on the timekeeping
functionality, which works over arrays of bases, a new macro is
introduced for vvars that are not arrays.
The vDSO function requires a ChaCha20 implementation that does not write
to the stack, yet can still do an entire ChaCha20 permutation, so
provide this using SSE2, since this is userland code that must work on
all x86-64 processors.

Pull EFI updates from Ard Biesheuvel:
"Note the removal of the EFI fake memory map support - this is believed
to be unused and no longer worth supporting. However, we could easily
bring it back if needed.
With recent developments regarding confidential VMs and unaccepted
memory, combined with kexec, creating a known inaccurate view of the
firmware's memory map and handing it to the OS is a feature we can
live without, hence the removal. Alternatively, I could imagine making
this feature mutually exclusive with those confidential VM related
features, but let's try simply removing it first.
Summary:
- Drop support for the 'fake' EFI memory map on x86
- Add an SMBIOS based tweak to the EFI stub instructing the firmware
on x86 Macbook Pros to keep both GPUs enabled
- Replace 0-sized array with flexible array in EFI memory attributes
table handling
- Drop redundant BSS clearing when booting via the native PE
entrypoint on x86
- Avoid returning EFI_SUCCESS when aborting on an out-of-memory
condition
- Cosmetic tweak for arm64 KASLR loading logic"

x86/efistub: Enable SMBIOS protocol handling for x86

x86/efi: Drop support for fake EFI memory maps
|
|
Between kexec and confidential VM support, handling the EFI memory maps
correctly on x86 is already proving to be rather difficult (as opposed
to other EFI architectures which manage to never modify the EFI memory
map to begin with)
EFI fake memory map support is essentially a development hack (for
testing new support for the 'special purpose' and 'more reliable' EFI
memory attributes) that leaked into production code. The regions marked
in this manner are not actually recognized as such by the firmware
itself or the EFI stub (and never have), and marking memory as 'more
reliable' seems rather futile if the underlying memory is just ordinary
RAM.
Marking memory as 'special purpose' in this way is also dubious, but may
be in use in production code nonetheless. However, the same should be
achievable by using the memmap= command line option with the ! operator.
EFI fake memmap support is not enabled by any of the major distros
(Debian, Fedora, SUSE, Ubuntu) and does not exist on other
architectures, so let's drop support for it.

Since FineIBT performs checking at the destination, it is weaker against
attacks that can construct arbitrary executable memory contents. As such,
some system builders want to run with FineIBT disabled by default. Allow
the "cfi=kcfi" boot param mode to be selectable through Kconfig via the
newly introduced CONFIG_CFI_AUTO_DEFAULT.

Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"Finally something fun. Mike Rapoport does some cleanup to allow us to
take out module_alloc() out of modules into a new paint shedded
execmem_alloc() and execmem_free() so to make emphasis these helpers
are actually used outside of modules.
It starts with a non-functional changes API rename / placeholders to
then allow architectures to define their requirements into a new shiny
struct execmem_info with ranges, and requirements for those ranges.
Archs now can intitialize this execmem_info as the last part of
mm_core_init() if they have to diverge from the norm. Each range is a
known type clearly articulated and spelled out in enum execmem_type.
Although a lot of this is major cleanup and prep work for future
enhancements an immediate clear gain is we get to enable KPROBES
without MODULES now. That is ultimately what motiviated to pick this
work up again, now with smaller goal as concrete stepping stone"

Pull x86 interrupt handling updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Add support for posted interrupts on bare metal.
Posted interrupts is a virtualization feature which allows to inject
interrupts directly into a guest without host interaction. The VT-d
interrupt remapping hardware sets the bit which corresponds to the
interrupt vector in a vector bitmap which is either used to inject the
interrupt directly into the guest via a virtualized APIC or in case
that the guest is scheduled out provides a host side notification
interrupt which informs the host that an interrupt has been marked
pending in the bitmap.
This can be utilized on bare metal for scenarios where multiple
devices, e.g. NVME storage, raise interrupts with a high frequency. In
the default mode these interrupts are handles independently and
therefore require a full roundtrip of interrupt entry/exit.
Utilizing posted interrupts this roundtrip overhead can be avoided by
coalescing these interrupt entries to a single entry for the posted
interrupt notification. The notification interrupt then demultiplexes
the pending bits in a memory based bitmap and invokes the
corresponding device specific handlers.
Depending on the usage scenario and device utilization throughput
improvements between 10% and 130% have been measured.
As this is only relevant for high end servers with multiple device
queues per CPU attached and counterproductive for situations where
interrupts are arriving at distinct times, the functionality is opt-in
via a kernel command line parameter"

Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Core code:
- Make timekeeping and VDSO time readouts resilent against math
overflow:
In guest context the kernel is prone to math overflow when the host
defers the timer interrupt due to overload, malfunction or malice.
This can be mitigated by checking the clocksource delta for the
maximum deferrement which is readily available. If that value is
exceeded then the code uses a slowpath function which can handle
the multiplication overflow.
This functionality is enabled unconditionally in the kernel, but
made conditional in the VDSO code. The latter is conditional
because it allows architectures to optimize the check so it is not
causing performance regressions.
On X86 this is achieved by reworking the existing check for
negative TSC deltas as a negative delta obviously exceeds the
maximum deferrement when it is evaluated as an unsigned value. That
avoids two conditionals in the hotpath and allows to hide both the
negative delta and the large delta handling in the same slow path.

Dynamic ftrace must allocate memory for code and this was impossible
without CONFIG_MODULES.
With execmem separated from the modules code, execmem_text_alloc() is
available regardless of CONFIG_MODULES.
Remove dependency of dynamic ftrace on CONFIG_MODULES and make
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE select CONFIG_EXECMEM in Kconfig.

Explicitly disallow enabling mitigations at runtime for kernels that were
built with CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS=n, as some architectures may omit code
entirely if mitigations are disabled at compile time.
E.g. on x86, a large pile of Kconfigs are buried behind CPU_MITIGATIONS,
and trying to provide sane behavior for retroactively enabling mitigations
is extremely difficult, bordering on impossible. E.g. page table isolation
and call depth tracking require build-time support, BHI mitigations will
still be off without additional kernel parameters, etc.

Rename x86's to CPU_MITIGATIONS, define it in generic code, and force it
on for all architectures exception x86. A recent commit to turn
mitigations off by default if SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n kinda sorta
missed that "cpu_mitigations" is completely generic, whereas
SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is x86-specific.
Rename x86's SPECULATIVE_MITIGATIONS instead of keeping both and have it
select CPU_MITIGATIONS, as having two configs for the same thing is
unnecessary and confusing. This will also allow x86 to use the knob to
manage mitigations that aren't strictly related to speculative
execution.
Use another Kconfig to communicate to common code that CPU_MITIGATIONS
is already defined instead of having x86's menu depend on the common
CPU_MITIGATIONS. This allows keeping a single point of contact for all
of x86's mitigations, and it's not clear that other architectures *want*
to allow disabling mitigations at compile-time.

There are two menu entries for X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM, one for X86_32 and
the other for X86_64.
These entries are nearly identical, with the only difference being the
platform list in the help message.
While this structure was intended by commit
8425091ff8af ("x86: improve the help text of X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM"),
there is no need to duplicate the entire config entry. Instead, provide
a little more clarification in the help message.
