Normally, we do reapply microcode on resume. However, in the cases where
that microcode comes from the early loader and the late loader hasn't
been utilized yet, there's no easy way for us to go and apply the patch
applied during boot by the early loader.
Thus, reuse the patch stashed by the early loader for the BSP.

Paravirtual guests are not expected to load microcode into processors
and therefore it is not necessary to initialize microcode loading
logic.
In fact, under certain circumstances initializing this logic may cause
the guest to crash. Specifically, 32-bit kernels use __pa_nodebug()
macro which does not work in Xen (the code path that leads to this macro
happens during resume when we call mc_bp_resume()->load_ucode_ap()
->check_loader_disabled_ap())

The function graph helper function prepare_ftrace_return() which does the work
to hijack the parent pointer has that parent pointer as its first parameter.
Instead, if we make it the second parameter and have ip as the first parameter
(self_addr), then it can use the %rdi from save_mcount_regs that loads it
already.

The save_mcount_regs macro saves and restores the required mcount regs that
need to be saved before calling C code. It is done for all the function hook
utilities (static tracing, dynamic tracing, regs, function graph).
When frame pointers are enabled, the ftrace trampolines need to set up
frames and pointers such that a back trace (dump stack) can continue passed
them. Currently, a separate macro is used (create_frame) to do this, but
it's only done for the ftrace_caller and ftrace_reg_caller functions. It
is not done for the static tracer or function graph tracing.
Instead of having a separate macro doing the recording of the frames,
have the save_mcount_regs perform this task. This also has all tracers
saving the frame pointers when needed.

The macro save_mcount_regs saves regs onto the stack. But to uncouple the
amount of stack used in that macro from the users of the macro, we need
to have a define that tells all the users how much stack is used by that
macro. This way we can change the amount of stack the macro uses without
breaking its users.
Also remove some dead code that was left over from commit fdc841b58c

Currently save_mcount_regs is passed a "skip" parameter to know how much
stack updated the pt_regs, as it tries to keep the saved pt_regs in the
same location for all users. This is rather stupid, especially since the
part stored on the pt_regs has nothing to do with what is suppose to be
in that location.
Instead of doing that, just pass in an "added" parameter that lets that
macro know how much stack was added before it was called so that it
can get to the RIP. But the difference is that it will now offset the
pt_regs by that "added" count. The caller now needs to take care of
the offset of the pt_regs.
This will make it easier to simplify the code later.

Linus pointed out that there were locations that did the hard coded
update of the parent and rip parameters. One of them was the static tracer
which could also use the ftrace_caller_setup to do that work. In fact,
because it did not use it, it is prone to bugs, and since the static
tracer is hardly ever used (who wants function tracing code always being
called?) it doesn't get tested very often. I only run a few "does it still
work" tests on it. But I do not run stress tests on that code. Although,
since it is never turned off, just having it on should be stressful enough.
(especially for the performance folks)
There's no reason that the static tracer can't also use ftrace_caller_setup.
Have it do so.

First, there was this: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88001
The problem there was that microcode patches are not being reapplied
after suspend-to-ram. It was important to reapply them, though, because
of for example Haswell's TSX erratum which disabled TSX instructions
with a microcode patch.
A simple fix was fb86b97300 ("x86, microcode: Update BSPs microcode
on resume") but, as it is often the case, simple fixes are too
simple. This one causes 32-bit resume to fail:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88391
Properly fixing this would require more involved changes for which it
is too late now, right before the merge window. Thus, limit this to
64-bit only temporarily.

New updates to the ftrace generic code had ftrace_stub not always being
called when ftrace is off. This causes the static tracer to always save
and restore functions. But it also showed that when function tracing is
running, the function graph tracer can not. We should always check to see
if function graph tracing is running even if the function tracer is running
too. The function tracer code is not the only one that uses the hook to
function mcount.

Merge x86-64 iret fixes from Andy Lutomirski:
"This addresses the following issues:
- an unrecoverable double-fault triggerable with modify_ldt.
- invalid stack usage in espfix64 failed IRET recovery from IST

- invalid stack usage in non-espfix64 failed IRET recovery from IST
context.
It also makes a good but IMO scary change: non-espfix64 failed IRET
will now report the correct error. Hopefully nothing depended on the
old incorrect behavior, but maybe Wine will get confused in some
obscure corner case"

x86_64, traps: Rework bad_iret
x86_64, traps: Stop using IST for #SS
x86_64, traps: Fix the espfix64 #DF fixup and rewrite it in C
It's possible for iretq to userspace to fail. This can happen because
of a bad CS, SS, or RIP.
Historically, we've handled it by fixing up an exception from iretq to
land at bad_iret, which pretends that the failed iret frame was really
the hardware part of #GP(0) from userspace. To make this work, there's
an extra fixup to fudge the gs base into a usable state.
This is suboptimal because it loses the original exception. It's also
buggy because there's no guarantee that we were on the kernel stack to
begin with. For example, if the failing iret happened on return from an
NMI, then we'll end up executing general_protection on the NMI stack.
This is bad for several reasons, the most immediate of which is that
general_protection, as a non-paranoid idtentry, will try to deliver
signals and/or schedule from the wrong stack.
This patch throws out bad_iret entirely. As a replacement, it augments
the existing swapgs fudge into a full-blown iret fixup, mostly written
in C. It's should be clearer and more correct.

On a 32-bit kernel, this has no effect, since there are no IST stacks.
On a 64-bit kernel, #SS can only happen in user code, on a failed iret
to user space, a canonical violation on access via RSP or RBP, or a
genuine stack segment violation in 32-bit kernel code. The first two
cases don't need IST, and the latter two cases are unlikely fatal bugs,
and promoting them to double faults would be fine.
This fixes a bug in which the espfix64 code mishandles a stack segment
violation.
This saves 4k of memory per CPU and a tiny bit of code.

Recover original IP register if the pre_handler doesn't change it.
Since current kprobes doesn't expect that another ftrace handler
may change regs->ip, it sets kprobe.addr + MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE to
regs->ip and returns to ftrace.
This seems wrong behavior since kprobes can recover regs->ip
and safely pass it to another handler.
This adds code which recovers original regs->ip passed from
ftrace right before returning to ftrace, so that another ftrace
user can change regs->ip.

Stack traces that happen from function tracing check if the address
on the stack is a __kernel_text_address(). That is, is the address
kernel code. This calls core_kernel_text() which returns true
if the address is part of the builtin kernel code. It also calls
is_module_text_address() which returns true if the address belongs
to module code.
But what is missing is ftrace dynamically allocated trampolines.
These trampolines are allocated for individual ftrace_ops that
call the ftrace_ops callback functions directly. But if they do a
stack trace, the code checking the stack wont detect them as they
are neither core kernel code nor module address space.
Adding another field to ftrace_ops that also stores the size of
the trampoline assigned to it we can create a new function called
is_ftrace_trampoline() that returns true if the address is a
dynamically allocate ftrace trampoline. Note, it ignores trampolines
that are not dynamically allocated as they will return true with
the core_kernel_text() function.

When CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS are enabled, it is required that the
ftrace_caller and ftrace_regs_caller trampolines set up frame pointers
otherwise a stack trace from a function call wont print the functions
that called the trampoline. This is due to a check in
__save_stack_address():
#ifdef CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
if (!reliable)
return;
#endif
The "reliable" variable is only set if the function address is equal to
contents of the address before the address the frame pointer register
points to. If the frame pointer is not set up for the ftrace caller
then this will fail the reliable test. It will miss the function that
called the trampoline. Worse yet, if fentry is used (gcc 4.6 and
beyond), it will also miss the parent, as the fentry is called before
the stack frame is set up. That means the bp frame pointer points
to the stack of just before the parent function was called.

Uncorrected no action required (UCNA) - is a uncorrected recoverable
machine check error that is not signaled via a machine check exception
and, instead, is reported to system software as a corrected machine
check error. UCNA errors indicate that some data in the system is
corrupted, but the data has not been consumed and the processor state
is valid and you may continue execution on this processor. UCNA errors
require no action from system software to continue execution. Note that
UCNA errors are supported by the processor only when IA32_MCG_CAP[24]
(MCG_SER_P) is set.
-- Intel SDM Volume 3B
Deferred errors are errors that cannot be corrected by hardware, but
do not cause an immediate interruption in program flow, loss of data
integrity, or corruption of processor state. These errors indicate
that data has been corrupted but not consumed. Hardware writes information
to the status and address registers in the corresponding bank that
identifies the source of the error if deferred errors are enabled for
logging. Deferred errors are not reported via machine check exceptions;
they can be seen by polling the MCi_STATUS registers.
-- AMD64 APM Volume 2
Above two items, both UCNA and Deferred errors belong to detected
errors, but they can't be corrected by hardware, and this is very
similar to Software Recoverable Action Optional (SRAO) errors.
Therefore, we can take some actions that have been used for handling
SRAO errors to handle UCNA and Deferred errors.

In addition, mce_severity is specific to machine check exception,
and it will check MCIP/EIPV/RIPV bits. In order to use mce_severity
mechanism in non-exception context, the patch also introduces a new
argument (is_excp) for mce_severity. `is_excp' is used to explicitly

This is really the meat of the MPX patch set. If there is one patch to
review in the entire series, this is the one. There is a new ABI here
and this kernel code also interacts with userspace memory in a
relatively unusual manner. (small FAQ below).
Long Description:
This patch adds two prctl() commands to provide enable or disable the
management of bounds tables in kernel, including on-demand kernel
allocation (See the patch "on-demand kernel allocation of bounds tables")
and cleanup (See the patch "cleanup unused bound tables"). Applications
do not strictly need the kernel to manage bounds tables and we expect
some applications to use MPX without taking advantage of this kernel
support. This means the kernel can not simply infer whether an application
needs bounds table management from the MPX registers. The prctl() is an
explicit signal from userspace.
PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT is meant to be a signal from userspace to
require kernel's help in managing bounds tables.
PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT is the opposite, meaning that userspace don't
want kernel's help any more. With PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT, the kernel
won't allocate and free bounds tables even if the CPU supports MPX.
PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT will fetch the base address of the bounds
directory out of a userspace register (bndcfgu) and then cache it into
a new field (->bd_addr) in the 'mm_struct'. PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT
will set "bd_addr" to an invalid address. Using this scheme, we can
use "bd_addr" to determine whether the management of bounds tables in
kernel is enabled.
Also, the only way to access that bndcfgu register is via an xsaves,
which can be expensive. Caching "bd_addr" like this also helps reduce
the cost of those xsaves when doing table cleanup at munmap() time.
Unfortunately, we can not apply this optimization to #BR fault time
because we need an xsave to get the value of BNDSTATUS.
==== Why does the hardware even have these Bounds Tables? ====
MPX only has 4 hardware registers for storing bounds information.
If MPX-enabled code needs more than these 4 registers, it needs to
spill them somewhere. It has two special instructions for this
which allow the bounds to be moved between the bounds registers
and some new "bounds tables".
They are similar conceptually to a page fault and will be raised by
the MPX hardware during both bounds violations or when the tables
are not present. This patch handles those #BR exceptions for
not-present tables by carving the space out of the normal processes
address space (essentially calling the new mmap() interface indroduced
earlier in this patch set.) and then pointing the bounds-directory
over to it.
The tables *need* to be accessed and controlled by userspace because
the instructions for moving bounds in and out of them are extremely
frequent. They potentially happen every time a register pointing to
memory is dereferenced. Any direct kernel involvement (like a syscall)
to access the tables would obviously destroy performance.
==== Why not do this in userspace? ====
This patch is obviously doing this allocation in the kernel.
However, MPX does not strictly *require* anything in the kernel.
It can theoretically be done completely from userspace. Here are
a few ways this *could* be done. I don't think any of them are
practical in the real-world, but here they are.
Q: Can virtual space simply be reserved for the bounds tables so
that we never have to allocate them?
A: As noted earlier, these tables are *HUGE*. An X-GB virtual
area needs 4*X GB of virtual space, plus 2GB for the bounds
directory. If we were to preallocate them for the 128TB of
user virtual address space, we would need to reserve 512TB+2GB,
which is larger than the entire virtual address space today.
This means they can not be reserved ahead of time. Also, a
single process's pre-popualated bounds directory consumes 2GB
of virtual *AND* physical memory. IOW, it's completely
infeasible to prepopulate bounds directories.
Q: Can we preallocate bounds table space at the same time memory
is allocated which might contain pointers that might eventually
need bounds tables?
A: This would work if we could hook the site of each and every
memory allocation syscall. This can be done for small,
constrained applications. But, it isn't practical at a larger
scale since a given app has no way of controlling how all the
parts of the app might allocate memory (think libraries). The
kernel is really the only place to intercept these calls.
Q: Could a bounds fault be handed to userspace and the tables
allocated there in a signal handler instead of in the kernel?
A: (thanks to tglx) mmap() is not on the list of safe async
handler functions and even if mmap() would work it still
requires locking or nasty tricks to keep track of the
allocation state there.
Having ruled out all of the userspace-only approaches for managing
bounds tables that we could think of, we create them on demand in
the kernel.

The current x86 instruction decoder steps along through the
instruction stream but always ensures that it never steps farther
than the largest possible instruction size (MAX_INSN_SIZE).
The MPX code is now going to be doing some decoding of userspace
instructions. We copy those from userspace in to the kernel and
they're obviously completely untrusted coming from userspace. In
addition to the constraint that instructions can only be so long,
we also have to be aware of how long the buffer is that came in
from userspace. This _looks_ to be similar to what the perf and
kprobes is doing, but it's unclear to me whether they are
affected.
The whole reason we need this is that it is perfectly valid to be
executing an instruction within MAX_INSN_SIZE bytes of an
unreadable page. We should be able to gracefully handle short
reads in those cases.
This adds support to the decoder to record how long the buffer
being decoded is and to refuse to "validate" the instruction if
we would have gone over the end of the buffer to decode it.
The kprobes code probably needs to be looked at here a bit more
carefully. This patch still respects the MAX_INSN_SIZE limit
there but the kprobes code does look like it might be able to
be a bit more strict than it currently is.

the same way that "foo" matches "foo=bar". If you boot an old
kernel that does not know about "noxsaves" with "noxsaves" on the
command line, it will interpret the argument as "noxsave", which
is not what you want at all.
This makes the "noxsave" handler only return success when it finds
an *exact* match.
[ tglx: We really need to make __setup() more robust. ]

Disallow setting inv/cmask/etc. flags for all PEBS events
on these CPUs, except for the UOPS_RETIRED.* events on Nehalem/Westmere,
which are needed for cycles:p. This avoids an undefined situation
strongly discouraged by the Intle SDM. The PLD_* events were already
covered. This follows the earlier changes for Sandy Bridge and alter.

My earlier commit:
86a04461a9 ("perf/x86: Revamp PEBS event selection")
made nearly all PEBS on Sandy/IvyBridge/Haswell to reject non zero flags.
However this wasn't done for the INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST event
because no suitable macro existed. Now that we have
INTEL_FLAGS_UEVENT_CONSTRAINT enforce zero flags for
INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST too.
