So, like already being done for retbleed=unret, and now also for retbleed=ibpb, force STIBP on machines that have it, and report its SMT vulnerability status accordingly.

This becomes much easier to do and review now due to the code split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel release. I expect to see more of this with time and as we expand on test coverage in the future. The cleanups and fixes come from usual suspects such as Christophe Leroy and Aaron Tomlin but there are also some other contributors. One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where he spotted a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section header tables: * .altinstructions * __bug_table sections A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects of this misalignment being present for years and it has been determined there should be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy exception handler. Helge actually hit one of these buggy exception handlers on parisc which is how he ended up spotting this issue. When implemented correctly these paths with incorrect misalignment would just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are dealing with alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info regardign BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored) this really shouldn't be a big deal. The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with kmap_local_page() and my only concern with that was on what is done after preemption, but the virtual addresses are restored after preemption. This is only used on module decompression.

However, the kernel has no mechanism to initially set the current machine's name in such a way as to guarantee that the first userspace process to call gethostname will receive a meaningful result. It relies on some unspecified userspace process to first call sethostname before gethostname can produce a meaningful name. Traditionally the machine's hostname is set from userspace by the init system. The init system, in turn, often relies on a configuration file (say, /etc/hostname) to provide the value that it will supply in the call to sethostname. Consequently, the file system containing /etc/hostname usually must be available before the hostname will be set. There may, however, be earlier userspace processes that could call gethostname before the file system containing /etc/hostname is mounted. Such a process will get some other, likely meaningless, name from gethostname (such as "(none)", "localhost", or "darkstar"). A real-world example where this can happen, and lead to undesirable results, is with mdadm. When assembling arrays, mdadm distinguishes between "local" arrays and "foreign" arrays. A local array is one that properly belongs to the current machine, and a foreign array is one that is (possibly temporarily) attached to the current machine, but properly belongs to some other machine. To determine if an array is local or foreign, mdadm may compare the "homehost" recorded on the array with the current hostname. If mdadm is run before the root file system is mounted, perhaps because the root file system itself resides on an md-raid array, then /etc/hostname isn't yet available and the init system will not yet have called sethostname, causing mdadm to incorrectly conclude that all of the local arrays are foreign. Solving this problem *could* be delegated to the init system. It could be left up to the init system (including any init system that starts within an initramfs, if one is in use) to ensure that sethostname is called before any other userspace process could possibly call gethostname. However, it may not always be obvious which processes could call gethostname (for example, udev itself might not call gethostname, but it could via udev rules invoke processes that do). Additionally, the init system has to ensure that the hostname configuration value is stored in some place where it will be readily accessible during early boot. Unfortunately, every init system will attempt to (or has already attempted to) solve this problem in a different, possibly incorrect, way. This makes getting consistently working configurations harder for users. I believe it is better for the kernel to provide the means by which the hostname may be set early, rather than making this a problem for the init system to solve. The option to set the hostname during early startup, via a kernel parameter, provides a simple, reliable way to solve this problem. It also could make system configuration easier for some embedded systems.

But in some setups, like TDX/SEV confidential guests, all IO has to go through swiotlb. Currently swiotlb only has a single lock. Under high IO load with multiple CPUs this can lead to significat lock contention on the swiotlb lock. This patch splits the swiotlb bounce buffer pool into individual areas which have their own lock. Each CPU tries to allocate in its own area first. Only if that fails does it search other areas. On freeing the allocation is freed into the area where the memory was originally allocated from. Area number can be set via swiotlb kernel parameter and is default to be possible cpu number. If possible cpu number is not power of 2, area number will be round up to the next power of 2. This idea from Andi Kleen patch(https://github.com/intel/tdx/commit/ 4529b5784c141782c72ec9bd9a92df2b68cb7d45).

Before the change the allocator tried its best to find an address in the first 4GB. But that lead to performance problems when that space gets exhaused, and since most devices are capable of 64-bit DMA these days, we changed it to search in the full DMA-mask range from the beginning. This change has the potential to uncover bugs elsewhere, in the kernel or the hardware.

However, someone wants to make memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory takes precedence over hugetlb_free_vmemmap since memmap_on_memory makes it more likely to succeed memory hotplug in close-to-OOM situations. So the decision of making hugetlb_free_vmemmap take precedence is not wise and elegant. The proper approach is to have hugetlb_vmemmap.c do the check whether the section which the HugeTLB pages belong to can be optimized. If the section's vmemmap pages are allocated from the added memory block itself, hugetlb_free_vmemmap should refuse to optimize the vmemmap, otherwise, do the optimization. Then both kernel parameters are compatible. So this patch introduces VmemmapSelfHosted to mask any non-optimizable vmemmap pages. The hugetlb_vmemmap can use this flag to detect if a vmemmap page can be optimized.

| | * | | | KVM: x86/mmu: Extend Eager Page Splitting to nested MMUsDavid Matlack2022-06-241-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for Eager Page Splitting pages that are mapped by nested MMUs. Walk through the rmap first splitting all 1GiB pages to 2MiB pages, and then splitting all 2MiB pages to 4KiB pages. Note, Eager Page Splitting is limited to nested MMUs as a policy rather than due to any technical reason (the sp->role.guest_mode check could just be deleted and Eager Page Splitting would work correctly for all shadow MMU pages). There is really no reason to support Eager Page Splitting for tdp_mmu=N, since such support will eventually be phased out, and there is no current use case supporting Eager Page Splitting on hosts where TDP is either disabled or unavailable in hardware. Furthermore, future improvements to nested MMU scalability may diverge the code from the legacy shadow paging implementation. These improvements will be simpler to make if Eager Page Splitting does not have to worry about legacy shadow paging. Splitting huge pages mapped by nested MMUs requires dealing with some extra complexity beyond that of the TDP MMU: (1) The shadow MMU has a limit on the number of shadow pages that are allowed to be allocated. So, as a policy, Eager Page Splitting refuses to split if there are KVM_MIN_FREE_MMU_PAGES or fewer pages available. (2) Splitting a huge page may end up re-using an existing lower level shadow page tables. This is unlike the TDP MMU which always allocates new shadow page tables when splitting. (3) When installing the lower level SPTEs, they must be added to the rmap which may require allocating additional pte_list_desc structs. Case (2) is especially interesting since it may require a TLB flush, unlike the TDP MMU which can fully split huge pages without any TLB flushes. Specifically, an existing lower level page table may point to even lower level page tables that are not fully populated, effectively unmapping a portion of the huge page, which requires a flush. As of this commit, a flush is always done always after dropping the huge page and before installing the lower level page table. This TLB flush could instead be delayed until the MMU lock is about to be dropped, which would batch flushes for multiple splits. However these flushes should be rare in practice (a huge page must be aliased in multiple SPTEs and have been split for NX Huge Pages in only some of them). Flushing immediately is simpler to plumb and also reduces the chances of tripping over a CPU bug (e.g. see iTLB multihit).

This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs account for both normal and expedited grace periods - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a system with 15,000 tasks. The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead - Torture-test updates - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking, thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track context independently of RCU.

Although this is intentional, it would be nice to have a way to offload all the CPUs without having to make random bootloaders specify either the rcu_nocbs= or the rcu_nohz_full= kernel-boot parameters. This commit therefore provides a new CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that switches the default so as to offload callback processing on all of the CPUs. This default can still be overridden using the rcu_nocbs= and rcu_nohz_full= kernel-boot parameters.

Here's a summary of the various patches: - The CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM .config option and the "nordrand" boot option have been removed, as they overlapped with the more widely supported and more sensible options, CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU and "random.trust_cpu". This change allowed simplifying a bit of arch code. - x86's RDRAND boot time test has been made a bit more robust, with RDRAND disabled if it's clearly producing bogus results. This would be a tip.git commit, technically, but I took it through random.git to avoid a large merge conflict. - The RNG has long since mixed in a timestamp very early in boot, on the premise that a computer that does the same things, but does so starting at different points in wall time, could be made to still produce a different RNG state. Unfortunately, the clock isn't set early in boot on all systems, so now we mix in that timestamp when the time is actually set. - User Mode Linux now uses the host OS's getrandom() syscall to generate a bootloader RNG seed and later on treats getrandom() as the platform's RDRAND-like faculty. - The arch_get_random_{seed_,}_long() family of functions is now arch_get_random_{seed_,}_longs(), which enables certain platforms, such as s390, to exploit considerable performance advantages from requesting multiple CPU random numbers at once, while at the same time compiling down to the same code as before on platforms like x86. - A small cleanup changing a cmpxchg() into a try_cmpxchg(), from Uros. - A comment spelling fix" More info about other random number changes that come in through various architecture trees in the full commentary in the pull request: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220731232428.2219258-1-Jason@zx2c4.com/ * tag 'random-6.0-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random: random: correct spelling of "overwrites" random: handle archrandom with multiple longs um: seed rng using host OS rng random: use try_cmpxchg in _credit_init_bits timekeeping: contribute wall clock to rng on time change x86/rdrand: Remove "nordrand" flag in favor of "random.trust_cpu" random: remove CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM

The "nordrand" flag was added during the early days of RDRAND, when there were worries that merely using its values could compromise the RNG. However, these days, RDRAND values are not used directly but always go through the RNG's hash function, making "nordrand" no longer useful. Rather, the correct switch is "random.trust_cpu", which not only handles the relevant trust issue directly, but also is general to multiple CPU types, not just x86. However, x86 RDRAND does have a history of being occasionally problematic. Prior, when the kernel would notice something strange, it'd warn in dmesg and suggest enabling "nordrand". We can improve on that by making the test a little bit better and then taking the step of automatically disabling RDRAND if we detect it's problematic. Also disable RDSEED if the RDRAND test fails.

That SRCU fix for KLP introduced large (as in minutes) boot-time delays to embedded Linux kernels running on qemu/KVM. These delays were due to the emulation of certain MMIO operations controlling memory layout, which were emulated with one expedited grace period per access. Common configurations required thousands of boot-time MMIO accesses, and thus thousands of boot-time expedited SRCU grace periods. In these configurations, the occasional sleeps that allowed KLP to proceed caused excessive boot delays. These commits preserve enough sleeps to permit KLP to proceed, but few enough that the virtual embedded kernels still boot reasonably quickly. This represents a regression introduced in the v5.19 merge window, and the bug is causing significant inconvenience" * tag 'rcu-urgent.2022.07.21a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu: srcu: Make expedited RCU grace periods block even less frequently srcu: Block less aggressively for expedited grace periods

Although it was successful, it also resulted in excessive boot times on certain embedded workloads running under qemu with the "-bios QEMU_EFI.fd" command line. Here "excessive" means increasing the boot time up into the three-to-four minute range. This increase in boot time was due to the more than 6000 back-to-back invocations of synchronize_rcu_expedited() within the KVM host OS, which in turn resulted from qemu's emulation of a long series of MMIO accesses. Commit 640a7d37c3f4 ("srcu: Block less aggressively for expedited grace periods") did not significantly help this particular use case. Zhangfei Gao and Shameerali Kolothum Thodi did experiments varying the value of SRCU_MAX_NODELAY_PHASE with HZ=250 and with various values of non-sleeping per phase counts on a system with preemption enabled, and observed the following boot times: +──────────────────────────+────────────────+ | SRCU_MAX_NODELAY_PHASE | Boot time (s) | +──────────────────────────+────────────────+ | 100 | 30.053 | | 150 | 25.151 | | 200 | 20.704 | | 250 | 15.748 | | 500 | 11.401 | | 1000 | 11.443 | | 10000 | 11.258 | | 1000000 | 11.154 | +──────────────────────────+────────────────+ Analysis on the experiment results show additional improvements with CPU-bound delays approaching one jiffy in duration. This improvement was also seen when number of per-phase iterations were scaled to one jiffy. This commit therefore scales per-grace-period phase number of non-sleeping polls so that non-sleeping polls extend for about one jiffy. In addition, the delay-calculation call to srcu_get_delay() in srcu_gp_end() is replaced with a simple check for an expedited grace period. This change schedules callback invocation immediately after expedited grace periods complete, which results in greatly improved boot times. Testing done by Marc and Zhangfei confirms that this change recovers most of the performance degradation in boottime; for CONFIG_HZ_250 configuration, specifically, boot times improve from 3m50s to 41s on Marc's setup; and from 2m40s to ~9.7s on Zhangfei's setup. In addition to the changes to default per phase delays, this change adds 3 new kernel parameters - srcutree.srcu_max_nodelay, srcutree.srcu_max_nodelay_phase, and srcutree.srcu_retry_check_delay. This allows users to configure the srcu grace period scanning delays in order to more quickly react to additional use cases.

For details please refer to Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/processor_mmio_stale_data.rst. These vulnerabilities are broadly categorized as: Device Register Partial Write (DRPW): Some endpoint MMIO registers incorrectly handle writes that are smaller than the register size. Instead of aborting the write or only copying the correct subset of bytes (for example, 2 bytes for a 2-byte write), more bytes than specified by the write transaction may be written to the register. On some processors, this may expose stale data from the fill buffers of the core that created the write transaction. Shared Buffers Data Sampling (SBDS): After propagators may have moved data around the uncore and copied stale data into client core fill buffers, processors affected by MFBDS can leak data from the fill buffer. Shared Buffers Data Read (SBDR): It is similar to Shared Buffer Data Sampling (SBDS) except that the data is directly read into the architectural software-visible state. An attacker can use these vulnerabilities to extract data from CPU fill buffers using MDS and TAA methods. Mitigate it by clearing the CPU fill buffers using the VERW instruction before returning to a user or a guest. On CPUs not affected by MDS and TAA, user application cannot sample data from CPU fill buffers using MDS or TAA. A guest with MMIO access can still use DRPW or SBDR to extract data architecturally. Mitigate it with VERW instruction to clear fill buffers before VMENTER for MMIO capable guests. Add a kernel parameter mmio_stale_data={off|full|full,nosmt} to control the mitigation.
