2021-10-11Documentation: admin-guide: Document side effects when pKVM is enabledAlexandru Elisei
Recent changes to KVM for arm64 has made it impossible for the host to hibernate or use kexec when protected mode is enabled via the kernel command line. There are people who rely on kexec (for example, developers who use kexec as a quick way to test a new kernel), let's document this change in behaviour, so it doesn't catch them by surprise and we have a place to point people to if it does.

2021-10-11KVM: arm64: Allow KVM to be disabled from the command lineMarc Zyngier
Although KVM can be compiled out of the kernel, it cannot be disabled at runtime. Allow this possibility by introducing a new mode that will prevent KVM from initialising. This is useful in the (limited) circumstances where you don't want KVM to be available (what is wrong with you?), or when you want to install another hypervisor instead (good luck with that).

2021-10-04x86: change default to spec_store_bypass_disable=prctl spectre_v2_user=prctlAndrea Arcangeli
Switch the kernel default of SSBD and STIBP to the ones with CONFIG_SECCOMP=n (i.e. spec_store_bypass_disable=prctl spectre_v2_user=prctl) even if CONFIG_SECCOMP=y. Several motivations listed below: - If SMT is enabled the seccomp jail can still attack the rest of the system even with spectre_v2_user=seccomp by using MDS-HT (except on XEON PHI where MDS can be tamed with SMT left enabled, but that's a special case). Setting STIBP become a very expensive window dressing after MDS-HT was discovered. - The seccomp jail cannot attack the kernel with spectre-v2-HT regardless (even if STIBP is not set), but with MDS-HT the seccomp jail can attack the kernel too. - With spec_store_bypass_disable=prctl the seccomp jail can attack the other userland (guest or host mode) using spectre-v2-HT, but the userland attack is already mitigated by both ASLR and pid namespaces for host userland and through virt isolation with libkrun or kata. (if something if somebody is worried about spectre-v2-HT it's best to mount proc with hidepid=2,gid=proc on workstations where not all apps may run under container runtimes, rather than slowing down all seccomp jails, but the best is to add pid namespaces to the seccomp jail). As opposed MDS-HT is not mitigated and the seccomp jail can still attack all other host and guest userland if SMT is enabled even with spec_store_bypass_disable=seccomp. - If full security is required then MDS-HT must also be mitigated with nosmt and then spectre_v2_user=prctl and spectre_v2_user=seccomp would become identical. - Setting spectre_v2_user=seccomp is overall lower priority than to setting javascript.options.wasm false in about:config to protect against remote wasm MDS-HT, instead of worrying about Spectre-v2-HT and STIBP which again is already statistically well mitigated by other means in userland and it's fully mitigated in kernel with retpolines (unlike the wasm assist call with MDS-HT). - SSBD is needed to prevent reading the JIT memory and the primary user being the OpenJDK. However the primary user of SSBD wouldn't be covered by spec_store_bypass_disable=seccomp because it doesn't use seccomp and the primary user also explicitly declined to set PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL+PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS despite it easily could. In fact it would need to set it only when the sandboxing mechanism is enabled for javaws applets, but it still declined it by declaring security within the same user address space as an untenable objective for their JIT, even in the sandboxing case where performance would be a lesser concern (for the record: I kind of disagree in not setting PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS in the sandbox case and I prefer to run javaws through a wrapper that sets PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS if I need). In turn it can be inferred that even if the primary user of SSBD would use seccomp, they would invoke it with SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_SPEC_ALLOW by now. - runc/crun already set SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_SPEC_ALLOW by default, k8s and podman have a default json seccomp allowlist that cannot be slowed down, so for the #1 seccomp user this change is already a noop. - systemd/sshd or other apps that use seccomp, if they really need STIBP or SSBD, they need to explicitly set the PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL by now. The stibp/ssbd seccomp blind catch-all approach was done probably initially with a wishful thinking objective to pretend to have a peace of mind that it could magically fix it all. That was wishful thinking before MDS-HT was discovered, but after MDS-HT has been discovered it become just window dressing. - For qemu "-sandbox" seccomp jail it wouldn't make sense to set STIBP or SSBD. SSBD doesn't help with KVM because there's no JIT (if it's needed with TCG it should be an opt-in with PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL+PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS and it shouldn't slowdown KVM for nothing). For qemu+KVM STIBP would be even more window dressing than it is for all other apps, because in the qemu+KVM case there's not only the MDS attack to worry about with SMT enabled. Even after disabling SMT, there's still a theoretical spectre-v2 attack possible within the same thread context from guest mode to host ring3 that the host kernel retpoline mitigation has no theoretical chance to mitigate. On some kernels a ibrs-always/ibrs-retpoline opt-in model is provided that will enabled IBRS in the qemu host ring3 userland which fixes this theoretical concern. Only after enabling IBRS in the host userland it would then make sense to proceed and worry about STIBP and an attack on the other host userland, but then again SMT would need to be disabled for full security anyway, so that would render STIBP again a noop. - last but not the least: the lack of "spec_store_bypass_disable=prctl spectre_v2_user=prctl" means the moment a guest boots and sshd/systemd runs, the guest kernel will write to SPEC_CTRL MSR which will make the guest vmexit forever slower, forcing KVM to issue a very slow rdmsr instruction at every vmexit. So the end result is that SPEC_CTRL MSR is only available in GCE. Most other public cloud providers don't expose SPEC_CTRL, which means that not only STIBP/SSBD isn't available, but IBPB isn't available either (which would cause no overhead to the guest or the hypervisor because it's write only and requires no reading during vmexit). So the current default already net loss in security (missing IBPB) which means most public cloud providers cannot achieve a fully secure guest with nosmt (and nosmt is enough to fully mitigate MDS-HT). It also means GCE and is unfairly penalized in performance because it provides the option to enable full security in the guest as an opt-in (i.e. nosmt and IBPB). So this change will allow all cloud providers to expose SPEC_CTRL without incurring into any hypervisor slowdown and at the same time it will remove the unfair penalization of GCE performance for doing the right thing and it'll allow to get full security with nosmt with IBPB being available (and STIBP becoming meaningless). Example to put things in prospective: the STIBP enabled in seccomp has never been about protecting apps using seccomp like sshd from an attack from a malicious userland, but to the contrary it has always been about protecting the system from an attack from sshd, after a successful remote network exploit against sshd. In fact initially it wasn't obvious STIBP would work both ways (STIBP was about preventing the task that runs with STIBP to be attacked with spectre-v2-HT, but accidentally in the STIBP case it also prevents the attack in the other direction). In the hypothetical case that sshd has been remotely exploited the last concern should be STIBP being set, because it'll be still possible to obtain info even from the kernel by using MDS if nosmt wasn't set (and if it was set, STIBP is a noop in the first place). As opposed kernel cannot leak anything with spectre-v2 HT because of retpolines and the userland is mitigated by ASLR already and ideally PID namespaces too. If something it'd be worth checking if sshd run the seccomp thread under pid namespaces too if available in the running kernel. SSBD also would be a noop for sshd, since sshd uses no JIT. If sshd prefers to keep doing the STIBP window dressing exercise, it still can even after this change of defaults by opting-in with PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH. Ultimately setting SSBD and STIBP by default for all seccomp jails is a bad sweet spot and bad default with more cons than pros that end up reducing security in the public cloud (by giving an huge incentive to not expose SPEC_CTRL which would be needed to get full security with IBPB after setting nosmt in the guest) and by excessively hurting performance to more secure apps using seccomp that end up having to opt out with SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_SPEC_ALLOW. The following is the verified result of the new default with SMT enabled: (gdb) print spectre_v2_user_stibp $1 = SPECTRE_V2_USER_PRCTL (gdb) print spectre_v2_user_ibpb $2 = SPECTRE_V2_USER_PRCTL (gdb) print ssb_mode $3 = SPEC_STORE_BYPASS_PRCTL Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201104235054.5678-1-aarcange@redhat.com Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/AAA2EF2C-293D-4D5B-BFA6-FF655105CD84@redhat.com Acked-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/c0722838-06f7-da6b-138f-e0f26362f16a@redhat.com

2021-09-13Merge branch 'gcc-min-version-5.1' (make gcc-5.1 the minimum version)Linus Torvalds
Merge patch series from Nick Desaulniers to update the minimum gcc version to 5.1. This is some of the left-overs from the merge window that I didn't want to deal with yesterday, so it comes in after -rc1 but was sent before. Gcc-4.9 support has been an annoyance for some time, and with -Werror I had the choice of applying a fairly big patch from Kees Cook to remove a fair number of initializer warnings (still leaving some), or this patch series from Nick that just removes the source of the problem. The initializer cleanups might still be worth it regardless, but honestly, I preferred just tackling the problem with gcc-4.9 head-on. We've been more aggressiuve about no longer having to care about compilers that were released a long time ago, and I think it's been a good thing. I added a couple of patches on top to sort out a few left-overs now that we no longer support gcc-4.x. As noted by Arnd, as a result of this minimum compiler version upgrade we can probably change our use of '--std=gnu89' to '--std=gnu11', and finally start using local loop declarations etc. But this series does _not_ yet do that.

2021-09-08memory-hotplug.rst: complete admin-guide overhaulDavid Hildenbrand
The memory hot(un)plug documentation is outdated and incomplete. Most of the content dates back to 2007, so it's time for a major overhaul. Let's rewrite, reorganize and update most parts of the documentation. In addition to memory hot(un)plug, also add some details regarding ZONE_MOVABLE, with memory hotunplug being one of its main consumers. Drop the file history, that information can more reliably be had from the git log. The style of the document is also properly fixed that e.g., "restview" renders it cleanly now. In the future, we might add some more details about virt users like virtio-mem, the XEN balloon, the Hyper-V balloon and ppc64 dlpar.

2021-09-03mm/mempolicy: advertise new MPOL_PREFERRED_MANYBen Widawsky
Adds a new mode to the existing mempolicy modes, MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY. MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY will be adequately documented in the internal admin-guide with this patch. Eventually, the man pages for mbind(2), get_mempolicy(2), set_mempolicy(2) and numactl(8) will also have text about this mode. Those shall contain the canonical reference. NUMA systems continue to become more prevalent. New technologies like PMEM make finer grain control over memory access patterns increasingly desirable. MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY allows userspace to specify a set of nodes that will be tried first when performing allocations. If those allocations fail, all remaining nodes will be tried. It's a straight forward API which solves many of the presumptive needs of system administrators wanting to optimize workloads on such machines. The mode will work either per VMA, or per thread.

2021-09-03mm: compaction: support triggering of proactive compaction by userCharan Teja Reddy
The proactive compaction[1] gets triggered for every 500msec and run compaction on the node for COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER (usually order-9) pages based on the value set to sysctl.compaction_proactiveness. Triggering the compaction for every 500msec in search of COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER pages is not needed for all applications, especially on the embedded system usecases which may have few MB's of RAM. Enabling the proactive compaction in its state will endup in running almost always on such systems. Other side, proactive compaction can still be very much useful for getting a set of higher order pages in some controllable manner(controlled by using the sysctl.compaction_proactiveness). So, on systems where enabling the proactive compaction always may proove not required, can trigger the same from user space on write to its sysctl interface. As an example, say app launcher decide to launch the memory heavy application which can be launched fast if it gets more higher order pages thus launcher can prepare the system in advance by triggering the proactive compaction from userspace. This triggering of proactive compaction is done on a write to sysctl.compaction_proactiveness by user.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - Add DM infrastructure for IMA-based remote attestion. These changes are the basis for deploying DM-based storage in a "cloud" that must validate configurations end-users run to maintain trust. These DM changes allow supported DM targets' configurations to be measured via IMA. But the policy and enforcement (of which configurations are valid) is managed by something outside the kernel (e.g. Keylime). - Fix DM crypt scalability regression on systems with many cpus due to percpu_counter spinlock contention in crypt_page_alloc(). - Use in_hardirq() instead of deprecated in_irq() in DM crypt. - Add event counters to DM writecache to allow users to further assess how the writecache is performing. - Various code cleanup in DM writecache's main IO mapping function. * tag 'for-5.15/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm crypt: use in_hardirq() instead of deprecated in_irq() dm ima: update dm documentation for ima measurement support dm ima: update dm target attributes for ima measurements dm ima: add a warning in dm_init if duplicate ima events are not measured dm ima: prefix ima event name related to device mapper with dm_ dm ima: add version info to dm related events in ima log dm ima: prefix dm table hashes in ima log with hash algorithm dm crypt: Avoid percpu_counter spinlock contention in crypt_page_alloc() dm: add documentation for IMA measurement support dm: update target status functions to support IMA measurement dm ima: measure data on device rename dm ima: measure data on table clear dm ima: measure data on device remove dm ima: measure data on device resume dm ima: measure data on table load dm writecache: add event counters dm writecache: report invalid return from writecache_map helpers dm writecache: further writecache_map() cleanup dm writecache: factor out writecache_map_remap_origin() dm writecache: split up writecache_map() to improve code readability

2021-08-20dm ima: update dm documentation for ima measurement supportTushar Sugandhi
The ima documentation for measuring DM targets (dm-ima.rst) is missing the attribute information for the targets - 'cache', 'integrity', 'multipath', and 'snapshot'. It is also missing the grammar for various DM events and targets, which can help the attestation servers to determine what data to expect for a given DM device. Further, the documentation needs to be updated to incorporate code changes made to DM ima events and targets as part of this patch series. For instance, prefixing the event names with "dm_", adding the DM version to events, prefixing the table hashes in the ima log with the hash algorithm etc. There are warnings reported by 'make htmldocs' on dm-ima.rst, which need to be fixed. And lastly, the expected behavior needs to be documented when the configuration CONFIG_IMA_DISABLE_HTABLE is disabled. Update the documentation to add examples for 'cache', 'integrity', 'multipath', and 'snapshot' targets. Add the grammar for various DM events and targets in Backus Naur form, so that the attestation servers can interpret and act on the ima measurements for DM target. Fix htmldocs warnings in dm-ima.rst. Update the documentation to be consistent with the code changes that are part of this patch series.
