2017-03-23x86/xen/gdt: Use X86_FEATURE_XENPV instead of globals for the GDT fixupAndy Lutomirski
Xen imposes special requirements on the GDT. Rather than using a global variable for the pgprot, just use an explicit special case for Xen -- this makes it clearer what's going on. It also debloats 64-bit kernels very slightly.

2017-03-23x86/gdt: Get rid of the get_*_gdt_*_vaddr() helpersAndy Lutomirski
There's a single caller that is only there because it's passing a pointer into a function (vmcs_writel()) that takes an unsigned long. Let's just cast it in place rather than having a bunch of trivial helpers.

2017-03-23x86/gdt: Fix setup_fixmap_gdt() to use the correct PAAndy Lutomirski
__pa() cannot be used on percpu pointers because they may be virtually mapped. Use per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() instead. This fixes a boot crash on a some 32-bit configurations. I assume this is related to which allocation strategy is chosen by the percpu core.

2017-03-16x86: Make the GDT remapping read-only on 64-bitThomas Garnier
This patch makes the GDT remapped pages read-only, to prevent accidental (or intentional) corruption of this key data structure. This change is done only on 64-bit, because 32-bit needs it to be writable for TSS switches. The native_load_tr_desc function was adapted to correctly handle a read-only GDT. The LTR instruction always writes to the GDT TSS entry. This generates a page fault if the GDT is read-only. This change checks if the current GDT is a remap and swap GDTs as needed. This function was tested by booting multiple machines and checking hibernation works properly. KVM SVM and VMX were adapted to use the writeable GDT. On VMX, the per-cpu variable was removed for functions to fetch the original GDT. Instead of reloading the previous GDT, VMX will reload the fixmap GDT as expected. For testing, VMs were started and restored on multiple configurations.

2017-03-16x86: Remap GDT tables in the fixmap sectionThomas Garnier
Each processor holds a GDT in its per-cpu structure. The sgdt instruction gives the base address of the current GDT. This address can be used to bypass KASLR memory randomization. With another bug, an attacker could target other per-cpu structures or deduce the base of the main memory section (PAGE_OFFSET). This patch relocates the GDT table for each processor inside the fixmap section. The space is reserved based on number of supported processors. For consistency, the remapping is done by default on 32 and 64-bit. Each processor switches to its remapped GDT at the end of initialization. For hibernation, the main processor returns with the original GDT and switches back to the remapping at completion. This patch was tested on both architectures. Hibernation and KVM were both tested specially for their usage of the GDT. Thanks to Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> for testing and recommending changes for Xen support.

In an earlier version of the patch ("x86/kvm/vmx: Defer TR reload after VM exit") that introduced TSS limit validity tracking, I confused which helper was which. On reflection, the names I chose sucked. Rename the helpers to make it more obvious what's going on and add some comments.

2017-02-21x86/kvm/vmx: Defer TR reload after VM exitAndy Lutomirski
Intel's VMX is daft and resets the hidden TSS limit register to 0x67 on VMX reload, and the 0x67 is not configurable. KVM currently reloads TR using the LTR instruction on every exit, but this is quite slow because LTR is serializing. The 0x67 limit is entirely harmless unless ioperm() is in use, so defer the reload until a task using ioperm() is actually running.

modify_ldt() has questionable locking and does not synchronize threads. Improve it: redesign the locking and synchronize all threads' LDTs using an IPI on all modifications. This will dramatically slow down modify_ldt in multithreaded programs, but there shouldn't be any multithreaded programs that care about modify_ldt's performance in the first place.

2015-01-22x86, tls: Interpret an all-zero struct user_desc as "no segment"Andy Lutomirski
The Witcher 2 did something like this to allocate a TLS segment index: struct user_desc u_info; bzero(&u_info, sizeof(u_info)); u_info.entry_number = (uint32_t)-1; syscall(SYS_set_thread_area, &u_info); Strictly speaking, this code was never correct. It should have set read_exec_only and seg_not_present to 1 to indicate that it wanted to find a free slot without putting anything there, or it should have put something sensible in the TLS slot if it wanted to allocate a TLS entry for real. The actual effect of this code was to allocate a bogus segment that could be used to exploit espfix. The set_thread_area hardening patches changed the behavior, causing set_thread_area to return -EINVAL and crashing the game. This changes set_thread_area to interpret this as a request to find a free slot and to leave it empty, which isn't *quite* what the game expects but should be close enough to keep it working. In particular, using the code above to allocate two segments will allocate the same segment both times. According to FrostbittenKing on Github, this fixes The Witcher 2. If this somehow still causes problems, we could instead allocate a limit==0 32-bit data segment, but that seems rather ugly to me.

2013-06-22trace,x86: Do not call local_irq_save() in load_current_idt()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
As load_current_idt() is now what is used to update the IDT for the switches needed for NMI, lockdep debug, and for tracing, it must not call local_irq_save(). This is because one of the users of this is lockdep, which does tracing of local_irq_save() and when the debug trap is hit, we need to update the IDT before tracing interrupts being disabled. As load_current_idt() is used to do this, calling local_irq_save() which lockdep traces, defeats the point of calling load_current_idt(). As interrupts are already disabled when used by lockdep and NMI, the only other user is tracing that can disable interrupts itself. Simply have the tracing update disable interrupts before calling load_current_idt() instead of breaking the other users.

2013-06-20x86, trace: Add irq vector tracepointsSeiji Aguchi
[Purpose of this patch] As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors are useful. http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html <snip> The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently running processes. There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space, which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events. The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state. <snip> On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and getting a value of instruction pointer. I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before. But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap. So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now. [Patch Description] Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events. But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events. In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events. So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit. so that we can enable them independently. - local_timer_vector - reschedule_vector - call_function_vector - call_function_single_vector - irq_work_entry_vector - error_apic_vector - thermal_apic_vector - threshold_apic_vector - spurious_apic_vector - x86_platform_ipi_vector Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows. - Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq(). - Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to _set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table. - Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers. - Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt(). This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons. - Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled. - On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging is disabled. In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being used for other purposes.

2012-05-14x86: replace percpu_xxx funcs with this_cpu_xxxAlex Shi
Since percpu_xxx() serial functions are duplicated with this_cpu_xxx(). Removing percpu_xxx() definition and replacing them by this_cpu_xxx() in code. There is no function change in this patch, just preparation for later percpu_xxx serial function removing. On x86 machine the this_cpu_xxx() serial functions are same as __this_cpu_xxx() without no unnecessary premmpt enable/disable. Thanks for Stephen Rothwell, he found and fixed a i386 build error in the patch. Also thanks for Andrew Morton, he kept updating the patchset in Linus' tree.

2011-12-21x86: Keep current stack in NMI breakpointsSteven Rostedt
We want to allow NMI handlers to have breakpoints to be able to remove stop_machine from ftrace, kprobes and jump_labels. But if an NMI interrupts a current breakpoint, and then it triggers a breakpoint itself, it will switch to the breakpoint stack and corrupt the data on it for the breakpoint processing that it interrupted. Instead, have the NMI check if it interrupted breakpoint processing by checking if the stack that is currently used is a breakpoint stack. If it is, then load a special IDT that changes the IST for the debug exception to keep the same stack in kernel context. When the NMI is done, it puts it back. This way, if the NMI does trigger a breakpoint, it will keep using the same stack and not stomp on the breakpoint data for the breakpoint it interrupted.

2011-08-04x86-64: Add user_64bit_mode paravirt opAndy Lutomirski
Three places in the kernel assume that the only long mode CPL 3 selector is __USER_CS. This is not true on Xen -- Xen's sysretq changes cs to the magic value 0xe033. Two of the places are corner cases, but as of "x86-64: Improve vsyscall emulation CS and RIP handling" (c9712944b2a12373cb6ff8059afcfb7e826a6c54), vsyscalls will segfault if called with Xen's extra CS selector. This causes a panic when older init builds die. It seems impossible to make Xen use __USER_CS reliably without taking a performance hit on every system call, so this fixes the tests instead with a new paravirt op. It's a little ugly because ptrace.h can't include paravirt.h.

2009-11-05x86: Make sure get_user_desc() doesn't sign extend.Chris Lalancette
The current implementation of get_user_desc() sign extends the return value because of integer promotion rules. For the most part, this doesn't matter, because the top bit of base2 is usually 0. If, however, that bit is 1, then the entire value will be 0xffff... which is probably not what the caller intended. This patch casts the entire thing to unsigned before returning, which generates almost the same assembly as the current code but replaces the final "cltq" (sign extend) with a "mov %eax %eax" (zero-extend). This fixes booting certain guests under KVM. Signed-off-by: Chris Lalancette <clalance@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-04-21FRV: Fix the section attribute on UP DECLARE_PER_CPU()David Howells
In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU() does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between where the base register points and the per-CPU variable. On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws up the following errors: kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task': kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to be matched by variants on DECLARE.
