The kernel page table caches are tied to init_mm, so there is no
more need for them after userspace is finished.
destroy_context() gets called when we drop the last reference for an
mm, which can be much later than the task exit due to other lazy mm
references to it. We can free the page table cache pages on task exit
because they only cache the userspace page tables and kernel threads
should not access user space addresses.
The mapping for kernel threads itself is maintained in init_mm and
page table cache for that is attached to init_mm.

We recently added a warning in arch_local_irq_restore() to check that
the soft masking state matches reality.
Unfortunately it trips in a few places, which are not entirely trivial
to fix. The key problem is if we're doing function_graph tracing of
restore_math(), the warning pops and then seems to recurse. It's not
entirely clear because the system continuously oopses on all CPUs,
with the output interleaved and unreadable.
It's also been observed on a G5 coming out of idle.
Until we can fix those cases disable the warning for now.

Josh reported that the late SMT evaluation in cpu_smt_state_init() sets
cpu_smt_control to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED in case that 'nosmt' was supplied
on the kernel command line as it cannot differentiate between SMT disabled
by BIOS and SMT soft disable via 'nosmt'. That wreckages the state and
makes the sysfs interface unusable.
Rework this so that during bringup of the non boot CPUs the availability of
SMT is determined in cpu_smt_allowed(). If a newly booted CPU is not a
'primary' thread then set the local cpu_smt_available marker and evaluate
this explicitely right after the initial SMP bringup has finished.
SMT evaulation on x86 is a trainwreck as the firmware has all the
information _before_ booting the kernel, but there is no interface to query
it.

Checking the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is disproportionately costly on cores
with fast crypto instructions and comparatively slow memory accesses.
On algorithms such as GHASH, which executes at ~1 cycle per byte on
cores that implement support for 64 bit polynomial multiplication,
there is really no need to check the TIF_NEED_RESCHED particularly
often, and so we can remove the NEON yield check from the assembler
routines.
However, unlike the AEAD or skcipher APIs, the shash/ahash APIs take
arbitrary input lengths, and so there needs to be some sanity check
to ensure that we don't hog the CPU for excessive amounts of time.
So let's simply cap the maximum input size that is processed in one go

It turns out I had misunderstood how the x86_match_cpu() function works.
It evaluates a logical OR of the matching conditions, not logical AND.
This caused the CPU feature checks for AEGIS to pass even if only SSE2
(but not AES-NI) was supported (or vice versa), leading to potential
crashes if something tried to use the registered algs.
This patch switches the checks to a simpler method that is used e.g. in
the Camellia x86 code.
The patch also removes the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE declarations which
actually seem to cause the modules to be auto-loaded at boot, which is
not desired. The crypto API on-demand module loading is sufficient.

As it turns out, checking the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag after each
iteration results in a significant performance regression (~10%)
when running fast algorithms (i.e., ones that use special instructions
and operate in the < 4 cycles per byte range) on in-order cores with
comparatively slow memory accesses such as the Cortex-A53.
Given the speed of these ciphers, and the fact that the page based
nature of the AEAD scatterwalk API guarantees that the core NEON
transform is never invoked with more than a single page's worth of
input, we can estimate the worst case duration of any resulting
scheduling blackout: on a 1 GHz Cortex-A53 running with 64k pages,
processing a page's worth of input at 4 cycles per byte results in
a delay of ~250 us, which is a reasonable upper bound.
So let's remove the yield checks from the fused AES-CCM and AES-GCM
routines entirely.

Our genvdso tool performs some rather paranoid checking that the VDSO

of entries that the GOT is allowed to contain to the minimum 2 entries
that are always generated by binutils.
Unfortunately lld prior to revision 334390 generates a third entry,
which is unused & thus harmless but falls foul of genvdso's checks &
causes the build to fail.
Since we already check that the VDSO contains no relocations it seems
reasonable to presume that it also doesn't contain use of a GOT, which
would involve relocations. Thus rather than attempting to work around
this issue by allowing 3 GOT entries when using lld, simply remove the

from the get_cpu_cap function to a new function named
get_cpu_address_sizes.
One of the call sites related to Xen PV VMs was unfortunately missed
in the aforementioned commit. This prevents successful boot-up of
kernel versions 4.17 and up in Xen PV VMs if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL

enlighten_pv.c::xen_start_kernel
mmu_pv.c::xen_reserve_special_pages
page.h::__pa
physaddr.c::__phys_addr
physaddr.h::phys_addr_valid
phys_addr_valid uses boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits to validate physical
addresses. boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits is no longer populated before
the call to xen_reserve_special_pages due to the aforementioned commit
though, so the validation performed by phys_addr_valid fails, which
causes __phys_addr to trigger a BUG, preventing boot-up.

The kernel image is mapped into two places in the virtual address space
(addresses without KASLR, of course):
1. The kernel direct map (0xffff880000000000)
2. The "high kernel map" (0xffffffff81000000)
We actually execute out of #2. If we get the address of a kernel symbol,
it points to #2, but almost all physical-to-virtual translations point to
Parts of the "high kernel map" alias are mapped in the userspace page
tables with the Global bit for performance reasons. The parts that we map
to userspace do not (er, should not) have secrets. When PTI is enabled then
the global bit is usually not set in the high mapping and just used to
compensate for poor performance on systems which lack PCID.
This is fine, except that some areas in the kernel image that are adjacent
to the non-secret-containing areas are unused holes. We free these holes
back into the normal page allocator and reuse them as normal kernel memory.
The memory will, of course, get *used* via the normal map, but the alias
mapping is kept.
This otherwise unused alias mapping of the holes will, by default keep the
Global bit, be mapped out to userspace, and be vulnerable to Meltdown.
Remove the alias mapping of these pages entirely. This is likely to
fracture the 2M page mapping the kernel image near these areas, but this
should affect a minority of the area.
The pageattr code changes *all* aliases mapping the physical pages that it
operates on (by default). We only want to modify a single alias, so we
need to tweak its behavior.
This unmapping behavior is currently dependent on PTI being in place.
Going forward, we should at least consider doing this for all
configurations. Having an extra read-write alias for memory is not exactly
ideal for debugging things like random memory corruption and this does
undercut features like DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or future work like eXclusive Page
Frame Ownership (XPFO).

When lazy save/restore of MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE was introduced[1], the
MSR was intercepted in all modes and was only restored for the host
when the guest is in 64-bit mode. So at the time, going through the
full host restore prior to accessing MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE was necessary
to load host state and was not a significant waste of cycles.
Later, MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE interception was disabled for a 64-bit
guest[2], and then unconditionally saved/restored for the host[3].
As a result, loading full host state is overkill for accesses to
MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE, and completely unnecessary when the guest is
not in 64-bit mode.
Add a dedicated utility to read/write the guest's MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE
(outside of the save/restore flow) to minimize the overhead incurred
when accessing the MSR. When setting EFER, only decache the MSR if
the new EFER will disable long mode.
Removing out-of-band usage of vmx_load_host_state() also eliminates,
or at least reduces, potential corner cases in its usage, which in
turn will (hopefuly) make it easier to reason about future changes
to the save/restore flow, e.g. optimization of saving host state.

Using 'struct loaded_vmcs*' to track whether the CPU registers
contain host or guest state kills two birds with one stone.
1. The (effective) boolean host_state.loaded is poorly named.
It does not track whether or not host state is loaded into
the CPU registers (which most readers would expect), but
rather tracks if host state has been saved AND guest state
is loaded.
2. Using a loaded_vmcs pointer provides a more robust framework
for the optimized guest/host state switching, especially when
consideration per-VMCS enhancements. To that end, WARN_ONCE
if we try to switch to host state with a different VMCS than
was last used to save host state.
Resolve an occurrence of the new WARN by setting loaded_vmcs after
the call to vmx_vcpu_put() in vmx_switch_vmcs().

Use local variables in vmx_save_host_state() to temporarily track
the selector and base values for FS and GS, and reorganize the
code so that the 64-bit vs 32-bit portions are contained within
a single #ifdef. This refactoring paves the way for future patches
to modify the updating of VMCS state with minimal changes to the
code, and (hopefully) simplifies resolving a likely conflict with
another in-flight patch[1] by being the whipping boy for future
patches.

When checking emulated VMX instructions for faults, the #UD for "IF
(not in VMX operation)" should take precedence over the #GP for "ELSIF

Register tlb_remote_flush callback for vmx when hyperv capability of
nested guest mapping flush is detected. The interface can help to
reduce overhead when flush ept table among vcpus for nested VM. The
tradition way is to send IPIs to all affected vcpus and executes
INVEPT on each vcpus. It will trigger several vmexits for IPI
and INVEPT emulation. Hyper-V provides such hypercall to do
flush for all vcpus and call the hypercall when all ept table
pointers of single VM are same.

On a VM with only 1 vCPU, the locking fast path will always be
successful. In this case, there is no need to use the the PV qspinlock
code which has higher overhead on the unlock side than the native
qspinlock code.
