Allowing user code to map the HPET is problematic. HPET
implementations are notoriously buggy, and there are probably many
machines on which even MMIO reads from bogus HPET addresses are
problematic.
We have a report that the Dell Precision M2800 with:
ACPI: HPET 0x00000000C8FE6238 000038 (v01 DELL CBX3 01072009 AMI. 00000005)
is either so slow when accessing the HPET or actually hangs in some
regard, causing soft lockups to be reported if users do unexpected
things to the HPET.
The vclock HPET code has also always been a questionable speedup.
Accessing an HPET is exceedingly slow (on the order of several
microseconds), so the added overhead in requiring a syscall to read
the HPET is a small fraction of the total code of accessing it.
To avoid future problems, let's just delete the code entirely.
In the long run, this could actually be a speedup. Waiman Long as a
patch to optimize the case where multiple CPUs contend for the HPET,
but that won't help unless all the accesses are mediated by the
kernel.

ARCH_GET_FS and ARCH_GET_GS attempted to figure out the fsbase and
gsbase respectively from saved thread state. This was wrong: fsbase
and gsbase live in registers while a thread is running, not in
memory.
For reasons I can't fathom, the fsbase and gsbase code were
different. Since neither was correct, I didn't try to figure out
what the point of the difference was.
Change it to simply read the MSRs.
The code for reading the base for a remote thread is also completely
wrong if the target thread uses its own descriptors (which is the case
for all 32-bit threaded programs), but fixing that is a different
story.

If it turns out anybody notices and this breaks something, we'll have to

Generalise system_verify_data() to provide access to internal content
through a callback. This allows all the PKCS#7 stuff to be hidden inside
this function and removed from the PE file parser and the PKCS#7 test key.
If external content is not required, NULL should be passed as data to the
function. If the callback is not required, that can be set to NULL.
The function is now called verify_pkcs7_signature() to contrast with
verify_pefile_signature() and the definitions of both have been moved into
linux/verification.h along with the key_being_used_for enum.

Reuse module loader code to write relocations, thereby eliminating the need
for architecture specific relocation code in livepatch. Specifically, reuse
the apply_relocate_add() function in the module loader to write relocations
instead of duplicating functionality in livepatch's arch-dependent
klp_write_module_reloc() function.
In order to accomplish this, livepatch modules manage their own relocation
sections (marked with the SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH section flag) and
livepatch-specific symbols (marked with SHN_LIVEPATCH symbol section
index). To apply livepatch relocation sections, livepatch symbols
referenced by relocs are resolved and then apply_relocate_add() is called
to apply those relocations.
In addition, remove x86 livepatch relocation code and the s390
klp_write_module_reloc() function stub. They are no longer needed since
relocation work has been offloaded to module loader.
Lastly, mark the module as a livepatch module so that the module loader
canappropriately identify and initialize it.

A Xorg failure on qemu32 was reported as a regression [1] caused by
commit 9cd25aac1f ("x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled").
This patch fixes the Xorg crash.
Negative effects of this regression were the following two failures [2]
in Xorg on QEMU with QEMU CPU model "qemu32" (-cpu qemu32), which were
triggered by the fact that its virtual CPU does not support MTRRs.
#1. copy_process() failed in the check in reserve_pfn_range()
copy_process
copy_mm
dup_mm
dup_mmap
copy_page_range
track_pfn_copy
reserve_pfn_range
A WC map request was tracked as WC in memtype, which set a PTE as
UC (pgprot) per __cachemode2pte_tbl[]. This led to this error in
reserve_pfn_range() called from track_pfn_copy(), which obtained
a pgprot from a PTE. It converts pgprot to page_cache_mode, which
does not necessarily result in the original page_cache_mode since
__cachemode2pte_tbl[] redirects multiple types to UC.
#2. error path in copy_process() then hit WARN_ON_ONCE in
untrack_pfn().
x86/PAT: Xorg:509 map pfn expected mapping type uncached-
minus for [mem 0xfd000000-0xfdffffff], got write-combining
Call Trace:
dump_stack
warn_slowpath_common
? untrack_pfn
? untrack_pfn
warn_slowpath_null
untrack_pfn
? __kunmap_atomic
unmap_single_vma
? pagevec_move_tail_fn
unmap_vmas
exit_mmap
mmput
copy_process.part.47
_do_fork
SyS_clone
do_syscall_32_irqs_on
entry_INT80_32
These negative effects are caused by two separate bugs, but they
can be addressed in separate patches. Fixing the pat_init() issue
described below addresses the root cause, and avoids Xorg to hit
these cases.
When the CPU does not support MTRRs, MTRR does not call pat_init(),
which leaves PAT enabled without initializing PAT. This pat_init()
issue is a long-standing issue, but manifested as issue #1 (and then
hit issue #2) with the above-mentioned commit because the memtype
now tracks cache attribute with 'page_cache_mode'.
This pat_init() issue existed before the commit, but we used pgprot
in memtype. Hence, we did not have issue #1 before. But WC request
resulted in WT in effect because WC pgrot is actually WT when PAT
is not initialized. This is not how it was designed to work. When
PAT is set to disable properly, WC is converted to UC. The use of
WT can result in a system crash if the target range does not support
WT. Fortunately, nobody ran into such issue before.
To fix this pat_init() issue, PAT code has been enhanced to provide
pat_disable() interface. Call this interface when MTRRs are disabled.
By setting PAT to disable properly, PAT bypasses the memtype check,
and avoids issue #1.

The issue is that Linux assumes:

to 2 as well.

There are several reports of freeze on enabling HWP (Hardware PStates)
feature on Skylake-based systems by the Intel P-states driver. The root
cause is identified as the HWP interrupts causing BIOS code to freeze.
HWP interrupts use the thermal LVT which can be handled by Linux
natively, but on the affected Skylake-based systems SMM will respond
to it by default. This is a problem for several reasons:
- On the affected systems the SMM thermal LVT handler is broken (it
will crash when invoked) and a BIOS update is necessary to fix it.
- With thermal interrupt handled in SMM we lose all of the reporting
features of the arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/therm_throt driver.
- Some thermal drivers like x86-package-temp depend on the thermal
threshold interrupts signaled via the thermal LVT.
- The HWP interrupts are useful for debugging and tuning
performance (if the kernel can handle them).
The native handling of thermal interrupts needs to be enabled
because of that.
This requires some way to tell SMM that the OS can handle thermal
interrupts. That can be done by using _OSC/_PDC in processor
scope very early during ACPI initialization.
The meaning of _OSC/_PDC bit 12 in processor scope is whether or
not the OS supports native handling of interrupts for Collaborative
Processor Performance Control (CPPC) notifications. Since on
HWP-capable systems CPPC is a firmware interface to HWP, setting
this bit effectively tells the firmware that the OS will handle
thermal interrupts natively going forward.
For details on _OSC/_PDC refer to:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/standards/processor-vendor-specific-acpi-specification.html
To implement the _OSC/_PDC handshake as described, introduce a new
function, acpi_early_processor_osc(), that walks the ACPI
namespace looking for ACPI processor objects and invokes _OSC for
them with bit 12 in the capabilities buffer set and terminates the
namespace walk on the first success.
Also modify intel_thermal_interrupt() to clear HWP status bits in
the HWP_STATUS MSR to acknowledge HWP interrupts (which prevents
them from firing continuously).

Implement the stack depot and provide CONFIG_STACKDEPOT. Stack depot
will allow KASAN store allocation/deallocation stack traces for memory
chunks. The stack traces are stored in a hash table and referenced by
handles which reside in the kasan_alloc_meta and kasan_free_meta
structures in the allocated memory chunks.
IRQ stack traces are cut below the IRQ entry point to avoid unnecessary
duplication.
Right now stackdepot support is only enabled in SLAB allocator. Once
KASAN features in SLAB are on par with those in SLUB we can switch SLUB
to stackdepot as well, thus removing the dependency on SLUB stack
bookkeeping, which wastes a lot of memory.
This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: stack depots" patch originally
prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov.
Joonsoo has said that he plans to reuse the stackdepot code for the
mm/page_owner.c debugging facility.

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.
Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the
users don't need to pull in <linux/ftrace.h>. Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system. A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.
kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to
collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking).
Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
API anticipates additional collection modes. Initially I also
implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch). I've
dropped the second mode for simplicity.
This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side. The complimentary
compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.
We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs
We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting a
random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.
Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat. A
typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an invalid
input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.
kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
insecure. But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.
