KVM may turn a user page to a kernel page when kernel writes a readonly
user page if CR0.WP = 1. This shadow page entry will be reused after
SMAP is enabled so that kernel is allowed to access this user page
Fix it by setting SMAP && !CR0.WP into shadow page's role and reset mmu
once CR4.SMAP is updated

ioremap_nocache() currently uses UC- by default. Our goal is to
eventually make UC the default. Linux maps UC- to PCD=1, PWT=0
page attributes on non-PAT systems. Linux maps UC to PCD=1,
PWT=1 page attributes on non-PAT systems. On non-PAT and PAT
systems a WC MTRR has different effects on pages with either of
these attributes. In order to help with a smooth transition its
best to enable use of UC (PCD,1, PWT=1) on a region as that
ensures a WC MTRR will have no effect on a region, this however
requires us to have an way to declare a region as UC and we
currently do not have a way to do this.
WC MTRR on non-PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=0 (UC-) yields WC.
WC MTRR on non-PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=1 (UC) yields UC.
WC MTRR on PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=0 (UC-) yields WC.
WC MTRR on PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=1 (UC) yields UC.
A flip of the default ioremap_nocache() behaviour from UC- to UC
can therefore regress a memory region from effective memory type
WC to UC if MTRRs are used. Use of MTRRs should be phased out
and in the best case only arch_phys_wc_add() use will remain,
even if this happens arch_phys_wc_add() will have an effect on
non-PAT systems and changes to default ioremap_nocache()
behaviour could regress drivers.
Now, ideally we'd use ioremap_nocache() on the regions in which
we'd need uncachable memory types and avoid any MTRRs on those
regions. There are however some restrictions on MTRRs use, such
as the requirement of having the base and size of variable sized
MTRRs to be powers of two, which could mean having to use a WC
MTRR over a large area which includes a region in which
write-combining effects are undesirable.
Add ioremap_uc() to help with the both phasing out of MTRR use
and also provide a way to blacklist small WC undesirable regions
in devices with mixed regions which are size-implicated to use
large WC MTRRs. Use of ioremap_uc() helps phase out MTRR use by
avoiding regressions with an eventual flip of default behaviour
or ioremap_nocache() from UC- to UC.
Drivers working with WC MTRRs can use the below table to review
and consider the use of ioremap*() and similar helpers to ensure
appropriate behaviour long term even if default
ioremap_nocache() behaviour changes from UC- to UC.
Although ioremap_uc() is being added we leave set_memory_uc() to
use UC- as only initial memory type setup is required to be able
to accommodate existing device drivers and phase out MTRR use.
It should also be clarified that set_memory_uc() cannot be used
with IO memory, even though its use will not return any errors,
it really has no effect.

- RAS: Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)
This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
poisoned data. That means roughly that the hardware marks data which it
has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as poisoned data
and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the form of a deferred
error. It is the OS's responsibility then to take proper recovery action
and thus prolonge system lifetime as far as possible.

Introducing KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS for disabling x86 quirks that were previous
created in order to overcome QEMU issues. Those issue were mostly result of
invalid VM BIOS. Currently there are two quirks that can be disabled:
1. KVM_QUIRK_LINT0_REENABLED - LINT0 was enabled after boot
2. KVM_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED - CD and NW are cleared after boot
These two issues are already resolved in recent releases of QEMU, and would
therefore be disabled by QEMU.

Deferred errors indicate error conditions that were not corrected, but
require no action from S/W (or action is optional).These errors provide
info about a latent UC MCE that can occur when a poisoned data is
consumed by the processor.
Processors that report these errors can be configured to generate APIC
interrupts to notify OS about the error.
Provide an interrupt handler in this patch so that OS can catch these
errors as and when they happen. Currently, we simply log the errors and
exit the handler as S/W action is not mandated.

Apparently, people do build microcode into the kernel image, i.e.
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y.
Make that work in the early loader which is where microcode should be
preferably loaded anyway.
Note that you need to specify the microcode filename with the path
relative to the toplevel firmware directory (the same like the late
loading method) in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=y so that early loader can
find it.
I.e., something like this (Intel variant):
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="intel-ucode/06-3a-09"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware/"

GART registers are not present in newer AMD processors (Fam15h, Model
10h and later). So, avoid accessing those in PCI config space by
returning early in early_gart_iommu_check() and gart_iommu_hole_init()
if GART is not available.
Current code doesn't break on existing processors but there are some
side effects:
We get bogus AGP aperture messages which are simply noise on
GART-less processors:
AGP: Node 0: aperture [bus addr 0x00000000-0x01ffffff] (32MB)
AGP: Your BIOS doesn't leave aperture memory hole
AGP: Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
AGP: This costs you 64MB of RAM
AGP: Mapping aperture over RAM [mem 0xd4000000-0xd7ffffff]
We can avoid calling allocate_aperture() and would not have to
wastefully reserve 64MB of RAM with memblock_reserve(). Also, we can
avoid having to loop through all PCI buses and devices twice, searching
for a non-existent AGP bridge if we bail out early.
Refactor the family check used in amd_nb.c into an inline function so we
can use it here as well as in amd_nb.c
Fix some typos while at it.
Tested the patch on Fam10h and Fam15h Model 00h-fh and this code runs
fine. On Fam15h Model 60h-6fh and on Fam16h, we bail early as they don't
have GART.

Commit 61f01dd941 ("x86_64, asm: Work around AMD SYSRET SS descriptor

__switch_to() to deal with cases when SS is NULL.
This breaks Xen PV guests who do not want to load SS with__KERNEL_DS.
Since the problem that the commit is trying to address would have to be
fixed in the hypervisor (if it in fact exists under Xen) there is no
reason to set X86_BUG_SYSRET_SS_ATTRS flag for PV VPCUs here.
This can be easily achieved by adding x86_hyper_xen_hvm.set_cpu_features
op which will clear this flag. (And since this structure is no longer
HVM-specific we should do some renaming).

return (unsigned long)&_text - __START_KERNEL;

Fix that by making setup.h self-sufficient by explicitly including
linux/kernel.h, which is needed for ALIGN() (which is what __START_KERNEL
contains in its expansion).

We give up old_addr hint from the coming patch module in cases when kernel load
base has been randomized (as in such case, the coming module has no idea about
the exact randomization offset).
We are currently too pessimistic, and give up immediately as soon as
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is set; this doesn't however directly imply that the
load base has actually been randomized. There are config options that
disable kASLR (such as hibernation), user could have disabled kaslr on
kernel command-line, etc.
The loader propagates the information whether kernel has been randomized
through bootparams. This allows us to have the condition more accurate.
On top of that, it seems unnecessary to give up old_addr hints even if
randomization is active. The relocation offset can be computed using
kaslr_ofsset(), and therefore old_addr can be adjusted accordingly.

Offset that has been chosen for kaslr during kernel decompression can be
easily computed as a difference between _text and __START_KERNEL. We are
already making use of this in dump_kernel_offset() notifier and in
arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo().
Introduce kaslr_offset() that makes this computation instead of hard-coding
it, so that other kernel code (such as live patching) can make use of it.
Also convert existing users to make use of it.
This patch is equivalent transofrmation without any effects on the resulting
code:
