Merge branch 'urgent-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/urgent Pull two RCU fixes from Paul E. McKenney: " - Complete the work of commit dd56af42 (rcu: Eliminate deadlock between CPU hotplug and expedited grace periods), which was intended to allow synchronize_sched_expedited() to be safely used when holding locks acquired by CPU-hotplug notifiers. This commit makes the put_online_cpus() avoid the deadlock instead of just handling the get_online_cpus(). - Complete the work of commit 35ce7f29 (rcu: Create rcuo kthreads only for onlined CPUs), which was intended to allow RCU to avoid allocating unneeded kthreads on systems where the firmware says that there are more CPUs than are really present. This commit makes rcu_barrier() aware of the mismatch, so that it doesn't hang waiting for non-existent CPUs. " Signed-off-by:

Commit 35ce7f29 (rcu: Create rcuo kthreads only for onlined CPUs) avoids creating rcuo kthreads for CPUs that never come online. This fixes a bug in many instances of firmware: Instead of lying about their age, these systems instead lie about the number of CPUs that they have. Before commit 35ce7f29 , this could result in huge numbers of useless rcuo kthreads being created. It appears that experience indicates that I should have told the people suffering from this problem to fix their broken firmware, but I instead produced what turned out to be a partial fix. The missing piece supplied by this commit makes sure that rcu_barrier() knows not to post callbacks for no-CBs CPUs that have not yet come online, because otherwise rcu_barrier() will hang on systems having firmware that lies about the number of CPUs. It is tempting to simply have rcu_barrier() refuse to post a callback on any no-CBs CPU that does not have an rcuo kthread. This unfortunately does not work because rcu_barrier() is required to wait for all pending callbacks. It is therefore required to wait even for those callbacks that cannot possibly be invoked. Even if doing so hangs the system. Given that posting a callback to a no-CBs CPU that does not yet have an rcuo kthread can hang rcu_barrier(), It is tempting to report an error in this case. Unfortunately, this will result in false positives at boot time, when it is perfectly legal to post callbacks to the boot CPU before the scheduler has started, in other words, before it is legal to invoke rcu_barrier(). So this commit instead has rcu_barrier() avoid posting callbacks to CPUs having neither rcuo kthread nor pending callbacks, and has it complain bitterly if it finds CPUs having no rcuo kthread but some pending callbacks. And when rcu_barrier() does find CPUs having no rcuo kthread but pending callbacks, as noted earlier, it has no choice but to hang indefinitely. Reported-by:

The bug referenced by the comment in this commit was not completely fixed in GCC 4.8.2, as I mentioned in a thread back in February: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/12/797 The conclusion at that time was to make the quirk unconditional until the bug could be found and fixed in GCC. Unfortunately, when I submitted the patch (commit a9f18034 ) I left a comment in that claimed the bug was fixed in GCC 4.8.2+. This comment is inaccurate, and should be removed. Signed-off-by:

The only really new thing here is the PM QoS class for memory bandwidth, but it is simple enough and users of it will be added in the next cycle.

With 48-bit VA space, the 64K page configuration uses 3 levels instead of 2 and PUD_SIZE != PMD_SIZE. Since with 64K pages we only cover PMD_SIZE with the initial swapper_pg_dir populated in head.S, the memblock current_limit needs to be set accordingly in map_mem() to avoid allocating unmapped memory. The memblock current_limit is progressively increased as more blocks are mapped. Signed-off-by:

Detailed analysis showed that the function is not being miscompiled by gcc-4.9, but it is using a different register allocation ordering. With the gcc-4.9 compiled function, something during the code patching causes some of the %i* input registers to get corrupted. Perhaps we have a TLB miss path into the firmware that is deep enough to cause a register window spill and subsequent restore when we get back from the TLB miss trap. Let's plug this up by doing two things: 1) Stop using the firmware stack for client interface calls into the firmware. Just use the kernel's stack. 2) As soon as we can, call into a new function "start_early_boot()" to put a one-register-window buffer between the firmware's deepest stack frame and the top-most initial kernel one.

Even after the recent fix, the assertion on paging_tmpl.h is triggered. Apparently, the assertion wants to check that the PAE is always set on long-mode, but does it in incorrect way. Note that the assertion is not enabled unless the code is debugged by defining MMU_DEBUG. Signed-off-by:

The third parameter of kvm_unpin_pages() when called from kvm_iommu_map_pages() is wrong, it should be the number of pages to un-pin and not the page size. This error was facilitated with an inconsistent API: kvm_pin_pages() takes a size, but kvn_unpin_pages() takes a number of pages, so fix the problem by matching the two. This was introduced by commit 350b8bdd ("kvm: iommu: fix the third parameter of kvm_iommu_put_pages (CVE-2014-3601)"), which fixes the lack of un-pinning for pages intended to be un-pinned (i.e. memory leak) but unfortunately potentially aggravated the number of pages we un-pin that should have stayed pinned. As far as I understand though, the same practical mitigations apply. This issue was found during review of Red Hat 6.6 patches to prepare Ksplice rebootless updates. Thanks to Vegard for his time on a late Friday evening to help me in understanding this code. Fixes: 350b8bdd ("kvm: iommu: fix the third parameter of...

The decode phase of the x86 emulator assumes that every instruction with the ModRM flag, and which can be used with RIP-relative addressing, has either SrcMem or DstMem. This is not the case for several instructions - prefetch, hint-nop and clflush. Adding SrcMem|NoAccess for prefetch and hint-nop and SrcMem for clflush. This fixes CVE-2014-8480.

Currently, all group15 instructions are decoded as clflush (e.g., mfence, xsave). In addition, the clflush instruction requires no prefix (66/f2/f3) would exist. If prefix exists it may encode a different instruction (e.g., clflushopt). Creating a group for clflush, and different group for each prefix. This has been the case forever, but the next patch needs the cflush group in order to fix a bug introduced in 3.17. Fixes: 41061cdb Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

A failure to decode the instruction can cause a NULL pointer access. This is fixed simply by moving the "done" label as close as possible to the return. This fixes CVE-2014-8481. Reported-by:

A platform driver for which nothing ever registers the corresponding platform device. Also it was driving the same hardware as sead3-i2c-drv.c so redundant anyway and couldn't co-exist with that driver because each of them was using a private spinlock to protect access to the same hardware resources. This also fixes a randconfig problem: arch/mips/mti-sead3/sead3-pic32-i2c-drv.c: In function 'i2c_platform_probe': arch/mips/mti-sead3/sead3-pic32-i2c-drv.c:345:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'i2c_add_numbered_adapter' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] ret = i2c_add_numbered_adapter(&priv->adap); ^ arch/mips/mti-sead3/sead3-pic32-i2c-drv.c: In function 'i2c_platform_remove': arch/mips/mti-sead3/sead3-pic32-i2c-drv.c:361:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'i2c_del_adapter' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] i2c_del_adapter(&priv->adap); Signed-off-by:

Once an instruction crosses a page boundary, the size read from the second page disregards the common case that part of the operand resides on the first page. As a result, fetch of long insturctions may fail, and thereby cause the decoding to fail as well. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 5cfc7e0f Signed-off-by:

On systems with invvpid instruction support (corresponding bit in IA32_VMX_EPT_VPID_CAP MSR is set) guest invocation of invvpid causes vm exit, which is currently not handled and results in propagation of unknown exit to userspace. Fix this by installing an invvpid vm exit handler. This is CVE-2014-3646. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

Far jmp/call/ret may fault while loading a new RIP. Currently KVM does not handle this case, and may result in failed vm-entry once the assignment is done. The tricky part of doing so is that loading the new CS affects the VMCS/VMCB state, so if we fail during loading the new RIP, we are left in unconsistent state. Therefore, this patch saves on 64-bit the old CS descriptor and restores it if loading RIP failed. This fixes CVE-2014-3647. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

Before changing rip (during jmp, call, ret, etc.) the target should be asserted to be canonical one, as real CPUs do. During sysret, both target rsp and rip should be canonical. If any of these values is noncanonical, a #GP exception should occur. The exception to this rule are syscall and sysenter instructions in which the assigned rip is checked during the assignment to the relevant MSRs. This patch fixes the emulator to behave as real CPUs do for near branches. Far branches are handled by the next patch. This fixes CVE-2014-3647. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:
