Intel Processor Trace virtualization can be work in one
of 2 possible modes:
a. System-Wide mode (default):
When the host configures Intel PT to collect trace packets
of the entire system, it can leave the relevant VMX controls
clear to allow VMX-specific packets to provide information
across VMX transitions.
KVM guest will not aware this feature in this mode and both
host and KVM guest trace will output to host buffer.
b. Host-Guest mode:
Host can configure trace-packet generation while in
VMX non-root operation for guests and root operation
for native executing normally.
Intel PT will be exposed to KVM guest in this mode, and
the trace output to respective buffer of host and guest.
In this mode, tht status of PT will be saved and disabled
before VM-entry and restored after VM-exit if trace
a virtual machine.

This reverts commit 5bdcd510c2.
The macro based workarounds for GCC's inlining bugs caused regressions: distcc
and other distro build setups broke, and the fixes are not easy nor will they
solve regressions on already existing installations.
So we are reverting this patch and the 8 followup patches.
What makes this revert easier is that GCC9 will likely include the new 'asm inline'
syntax that makes inlining of assembly blocks a lot more robust.
This is a superior method to any macro based hackeries - and might even be
backported to GCC8, which would make all modern distros get the inlining
fixes as well.
Many thanks to Masahiro Yamada and others for helping sort out these problems.

Andy spotted a regression in the fs/gs base helpers after the patch series
was committed. The helper functions which write fs/gs base are not just
writing the base, they are also changing the index. That's wrong and needs
to be separated because writing the base has not to modify the index.
While the regression is not causing any harm right now because the only
caller depends on that behaviour, it's a guarantee for subtle breakage down
the road.
Make the index explicitly changed from the caller, instead of including
the code in the helpers.
Subsequently, the task write helpers do not handle for the current task
anymore. The range check for a base value is also factored out, to minimize
code redundancy from the caller.

Different AMD processors may have different implementations of STIBP.
When STIBP is conditionally enabled, some implementations would benefit
from having STIBP always on instead of toggling the STIBP bit through MSR
writes. This preference is advertised through a CPUID feature bit.
When conditional STIBP support is requested at boot and the CPU advertises
STIBP always-on mode as preferred, switch to STIBP "on" support. To show
that this transition has occurred, create a new spectre_v2_user_mitigation
value and a new spectre_v2_user_strings message. The new mitigation value
is used in spectre_v2_user_select_mitigation() to print the new mitigation
message as well as to return a new string from stibp_state().

Previously, the guest_fpu field was embedded in the kvm_vcpu_arch
struct. Unfortunately, the field is quite large, (e.g., 4352 bytes on my
current setup). This bloats the kvm_vcpu_arch struct for x86 into an
order 3 memory allocation, which can become a problem on overcommitted
machines. Thus, this patch moves the fpu state outside of the
kvm_vcpu_arch struct.
With this patch applied, the kvm_vcpu_arch struct is reduced to 15168
bytes for vmx on my setup when building the kernel with kvmconfig.

Previously, x86's instantiation of 'struct kvm_vcpu_arch' added an fpu
field to save/restore fpu-related architectural state, which will differ
from kvm's fpu state. However, this is redundant to the 'struct fpu'
field, called fpu, embedded in the task struct, via the thread field.
Thus, this patch removes the user_fpu field from the kvm_vcpu_arch
struct and replaces it with the task struct's fpu field.
This change is significant because the fpu struct is actually quite
large. For example, on the system used to develop this patch, this
change reduces the size of the vcpu_vmx struct from 23680 bytes down to
19520 bytes, when building the kernel with kvmconfig. This reduction in
the size of the vcpu_vmx struct moves us closer to being able to
allocate the struct at order 2, rather than order 3.

Ideally, after kernel assumes control of the platform, firmware
shouldn't access EFI boot services code/data regions. But, it's noticed
that this is not so true in many x86 platforms. Hence, during boot,
kernel reserves EFI boot services code/data regions [1] and maps [2]
them to efi_pgd so that call to set_virtual_address_map() doesn't fail.
After returning from set_virtual_address_map(), kernel frees the
reserved regions [3] but they still remain mapped. Hence, introduce
kernel_unmap_pages_in_pgd() which will later be used to unmap EFI boot
services code/data regions.
While at it modify kernel_map_pages_in_pgd() by:
1. Adding __init modifier because it's always used *only* during boot.
2. Add a warning if it's used after SMP is initialized because it uses
__flush_tlb_all() which flushes mappings only on current CPU.
Unmapping EFI boot services code/data regions will result in clearing
PAGE_PRESENT bit and it shouldn't bother L1TF cases because it's already
handled by protnone_mask() at arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable-invert.h.

If 'prctl' mode of user space protection from spectre v2 is selected
on the kernel command-line, STIBP and IBPB are applied on tasks which
restrict their indirect branch speculation via prctl.
SECCOMP enables the SSBD mitigation for sandboxed tasks already, so it
makes sense to prevent spectre v2 user space to user space attacks as
well.
The Intel mitigation guide documents how STIPB works:
Setting bit 1 (STIBP) of the IA32_SPEC_CTRL MSR on a logical processor
prevents the predicted targets of indirect branches on any logical
processor of that core from being controlled by software that executes
(or executed previously) on another logical processor of the same core.
Ergo setting STIBP protects the task itself from being attacked from a task
running on a different hyper-thread and protects the tasks running on
different hyper-threads from being attacked.
While the document suggests that the branch predictors are shielded between
the logical processors, the observed performance regressions suggest that
STIBP simply disables the branch predictor more or less completely. Of
course the document wording is vague, but the fact that there is also no
requirement for issuing IBPB when STIBP is used points clearly in that
direction. The kernel still issues IBPB even when STIBP is used until Intel
clarifies the whole mechanism.
IBPB is issued when the task switches out, so malicious sandbox code cannot
mistrain the branch predictor for the next user space task on the same
logical processor.

The seccomp speculation control operates on all tasks of a process, but
only the current task of a process can update the MSR immediately. For the
other threads the update is deferred to the next context switch.
This creates the following situation with Process A and B:
Process A task 2 and Process B task 1 are pinned on CPU1. Process A task 2
does not have the speculation control TIF bit set. Process B task 1 has the
speculation control TIF bit set.
CPU0 CPU1
MSR bit is set
ProcB.T1 schedules out
ProcA.T2 schedules in
MSR bit is cleared
ProcA.T1
seccomp_update()
set TIF bit on ProcA.T2
ProcB.T1 schedules in
MSR is not updated <-- FAIL
This happens because the context switch code tries to avoid the MSR update
if the speculation control TIF bits of the incoming and the outgoing task
are the same. In the worst case ProcB.T1 and ProcA.T2 are the only tasks
scheduling back and forth on CPU1, which keeps the MSR stale forever.
In theory this could be remedied by IPIs, but chasing the remote task which
could be migrated is complex and full of races.
The straight forward solution is to avoid the asychronous update of the TIF
bit and defer it to the next context switch. The speculation control state
is stored in task_struct::atomic_flags by the prctl and seccomp updates
already.
Add a new TIF_SPEC_FORCE_UPDATE bit and set this after updating the
atomic_flags. Check the bit on context switch and force a synchronous
update of the speculation control if set. Use the same mechanism for
updating the current task.

The IBPB speculation barrier is issued from switch_mm() when the kernel
switches to a user space task with a different mm than the user space task
which ran last on the same CPU.
An additional optimization is to avoid IBPB when the incoming task can be
ptraced by the outgoing task. This optimization only works when switching
directly between two user space tasks. When switching from a kernel task to
a user space task the optimization fails because the previous task cannot
be accessed anymore. So for quite some scenarios the optimization is just
adding overhead.
The upcoming conditional IBPB support will issue IBPB only for user space
tasks which have the TIF_SPEC_IB bit set. This requires to handle the
following cases:
1) Switch from a user space task (potential attacker) which has
TIF_SPEC_IB set to a user space task (potential victim) which has
TIF_SPEC_IB not set.
2) Switch from a user space task (potential attacker) which has
TIF_SPEC_IB not set to a user space task (potential victim) which has
TIF_SPEC_IB set.
This needs to be optimized for the case where the IBPB can be avoided when
only kernel threads ran in between user space tasks which belong to the
same process.
The current check whether two tasks belong to the same context is using the
tasks context id. While correct, it's simpler to use the mm pointer because
it allows to mangle the TIF_SPEC_IB bit into it. The context id based
mechanism requires extra storage, which creates worse code.
When a task is scheduled out its TIF_SPEC_IB bit is mangled as bit 0 into
the per CPU storage which is used to track the last user space mm which was
running on a CPU. This bit can be used together with the TIF_SPEC_IB bit of
the incoming task to make the decision whether IBPB needs to be issued or
not to cover the two cases above.
As conditional IBPB is going to be the default, remove the dubious ptrace
check for the IBPB always case and simply issue IBPB always when the
process changes.
Move the storage to a different place in the struct as the original one
created a hole.
