The 'noreplace-paravirt' option disables paravirt patching, leaving the original pv indirect calls in place. That's highly incompatible with retpolines, unless we want to uglify paravirt even further and convert the paravirt calls to retpolines. As far as I can tell, the option doesn't seem to be useful for much other than introducing surprising corner cases and making the kernel vulnerable to Spectre v2. It was probably a debug option from the early paravirt days. So just remove it. Signed-off-by:

Flush indirect branches when switching into a process that marked itself non dumpable. This protects high value processes like gpg better, without having too high performance overhead. If done naïvely, we could switch to a kernel idle thread and then back to the original process, such as: process A -> idle -> process A In such scenario, we do not have to do IBPB here even though the process is non-dumpable, as we are switching back to the same process after a hiatus. To avoid the redundant IBPB, which is expensive, we track the last mm user context ID. The cost is to have an extra u64 mm context id to track the last mm we were using before switching to the init_mm used by idle. Avoiding the extra IBPB is probably worth the extra memory for this common scenario. For those cases where tlb_defer_switch_to_init_mm() returns true (non PCID), lazy tlb will defer switch to init_mm, so we will not be changing the mm for the process A -> idle -> process A switch. So IBPB will be skipped for this case. Thanks to the reviewers and Andy Lutomirski for the suggestion of using ctx_id which got rid of the problem of mm pointer recycling. Signed-off-by:

Despite the fact that all the other code there seems to be doing it, just using set_cpu_cap() in early_intel_init() doesn't actually work. For CPUs with PKU support, setup_pku() calls get_cpu_cap() after c->c_init() has set those feature bits. That resets those bits back to what was queried from the hardware. Turning the bits off for bad microcode is easy to fix. That can just use setup_clear_cpu_cap() to force them off for all CPUs. I was less keen on forcing the feature bits *on* that way, just in case of inconsistencies. I appreciate that the kernel is going to get this utterly wrong if CPU features are not consistent, because it has already applied alternatives by the time secondary CPUs are brought up. But at least if setup_force_cpu_cap() isn't being used, we might have a chance of *detecting* the lack of the corresponding bit and either panicking or refusing to bring the offending CPU online. So ensure that the appropriate feature bits are set within get_cpu_cap() regardless of how many extra times it's called.

Quoting Linus: I do think that it would be a good idea to very expressly document the fact that it's not that the user access itself is unsafe. I do agree that things like "get_user()" want to be protected, but not because of any direct bugs or problems with get_user() and friends, but simply because get_user() is an excellent source of a pointer that is obviously controlled from a potentially attacking user space. So it's a prime candidate for then finding _subsequent_ accesses that can then be used to perturb the cache. Unlike the __get_user() case get_user() includes the address limit check near the pointer de-reference. With that locality the speculation can be mitigated with pointer narrowing rather than a barrier, i.e. array_index_nospec(). Where the narrowing is performed by: cmp %limit, %ptr sbb %mask, %mask and %mask, %ptr With respect to speculation the value of %ptr is either less than %limit or NULL. Co-developed-by:

For __get_user() paths, do not allow the kernel to speculate on the value of a user controlled pointer. In addition to the 'stac' instruction for Supervisor Mode Access Protection (SMAP), a barrier_nospec() causes the access_ok() result to resolve in the pipeline before the CPU might take any speculative action on the pointer value. Given the cost of 'stac' the speculation barrier is placed after 'stac' to hopefully overlap the cost of disabling SMAP with the cost of flushing the instruction pipeline. Since __get_user is a major kernel interface that deals with user controlled pointers, the __uaccess_begin_nospec() mechanism will prevent speculative execution past an access_ok() permission check. While speculative execution past access_ok() is not enough to lead to a kernel memory leak, it is a necessary precondition. To be clear, __uaccess_begin_nospec() is addressing a class of potential problems near __get_user() usages. Note, that while the barrier_nospec() in __uaccess_begin_nospec() is used to protect __get_user(), pointer masking similar to array_index_nospec() will be used for get_user() since it incorporates a bounds check near the usage. uaccess_try_nospec provides the same mechanism for get_user_try. No functional changes. Suggested-by:

array_index_nospec() uses a mask to sanitize user controllable array indexes, i.e. generate a 0 mask if 'index' >= 'size', and a ~0 mask otherwise. While the default array_index_mask_nospec() handles the carry-bit from the (index - size) result in software. The x86 array_index_mask_nospec() does the same, but the carry-bit is handled in the processor CF flag without conditional instructions in the control flow. Suggested-by:

array_index_nospec() is proposed as a generic mechanism to mitigate against Spectre-variant-1 attacks, i.e. an attack that bypasses boundary checks via speculative execution. The array_index_nospec() implementation is expected to be safe for current generation CPUs across multiple architectures (ARM, x86). Based on an original implementation by Linus Torvalds, tweaked to remove speculative flows by Alexei Starovoitov, and tweaked again by Linus to introduce an x86 assembly implementation for the mask generation.

The TS_COMPAT bit is very hot and is accessed from code paths that mostly also touch thread_info::flags. Move it into struct thread_info to improve cache locality. The only reason it was in thread_struct is that there was a brief period during which arch-specific fields were not allowed in struct thread_info. Linus suggested further changing: ti->status &= ~(TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED); to: if (unlikely(ti->status & (TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED))) ti->status &= ~(TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED); on the theory that frequently dirtying the cacheline even in pure 64-bit code that never needs to modify status hurts performance. That could be a reasonable followup patch, but I suspect it matters less on top of this patch. Suggested-by:

Since commit 92a0f81d ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap"), i386's CPU_ENTRY_AREA has been mapped to the memory area just below FIXADDR_START. But already immediately before FIXADDR_START is the FIX_BTMAP area, which means that early_ioremap can collide with the entry area. It's especially bad on PAE where FIX_BTMAP_BEGIN gets aligned to exactly match CPU_ENTRY_AREA_BASE, so the first early_ioremap slot clobbers the IDT and causes interrupts during early boot to reset the system. The overlap wasn't a problem before the CPU entry area was introduced, as the fixmap has classically been preceded by the pkmap or vmalloc areas, neither of which is used until early_ioremap is out of the picture. Relocate CPU_ENTRY_AREA to below FIX_BTMAP, not just below the permanent fixmap area. Fixes: commit 92a0f81d ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap") Signed-off-by:

Currently objtool requires all retpolines to be: a) patched in with alternatives; and b) annotated with ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE. If you forget to do both of the above, objtool segfaults trying to dereference a NULL 'insn->call_dest' pointer. Avoid that situation and print a more helpful error message: quirks.o: warning: objtool: efi_delete_dummy_variable()+0x99: unsupported intra-function call quirks.o: warning: objtool: If this is a retpoline, please patch it in with alternatives and annotate it with ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE. Future improvements can be made to make objtool smarter with respect to retpolines, but this is a good incremental improvement for now. Reported-and-tested-by:

We want to expose the hardware features simply in /proc/cpuinfo as "ibrs", "ibpb" and "stibp". Since AMD has separate CPUID bits for those, use them as the user-visible bits. When the Intel SPEC_CTRL bit is set which indicates both IBRS and IBPB capability, set those (AMD) bits accordingly. Likewise if the Intel STIBP bit is set, set the AMD STIBP that's used for the generic hardware capability. Hide the rest from /proc/cpuinfo by putting "" in the comments. Including RETPOLINE and RETPOLINE_AMD which shouldn't be visible there. There are patches to make the sysfs vulnerabilities information non-readable by non-root, and the same should apply to all information about which mitigations are actually in use. Those *shouldn't* appear in /proc/cpuinfo. The feature bit for whether IBPB is actually used, which is needed for ALTERNATIVEs, is renamed to X86_FEATURE_USE_IBPB. Originally-by:

The hrtimer interrupt code contains a hang detection and mitigation mechanism, which prevents that a long delayed hrtimer interrupt causes a continous retriggering of interrupts which prevent the system from making progress. If a hang is detected then the timer hardware is programmed with a certain delay into the future and a flag is set in the hrtimer cpu base which prevents newly enqueued timers from reprogramming the timer hardware prior to the chosen delay. The subsequent hrtimer interrupt after the delay clears the flag and resumes normal operation. If such a hang happens in the last hrtimer interrupt before a CPU is unplugged then the hang_detected flag is set and stays that way when the CPU is plugged in again. At that point the timer hardware is not armed and it cannot be armed because the hang_detected flag is still active, so nothing clears that flag. As a consequence the CPU does not receive hrtimer interrupts and no timers expire on that CPU which results in RCU stalls and other malfunctions. Clear the flag along with some other less critical members of the hrtimer cpu base to ensure starting from a clean state when a CPU is plugged in. Thanks to Paul, Sebastian and Anna-Maria for their help to get down to the root cause of that hard to reproduce heisenbug. Once understood it's trivial and certainly justifies a brown paperbag.

Due to some unfortunate events, I have not been directly involved in the x86 kernel patch flow for a while now. I have also not been able to ramp back up by now like I had hoped to, and after reviewing what I will need to work on both internally at Intel and elsewhere in the near term, it is clear that I am not going to be able to ramp back up until late 2018 at the very earliest. It is not acceptable to not recognize that this load is currently taken by Ingo and Thomas without my direct participation, so I mark myself as R: (designated reviewer) rather than M: (maintainer) until further notice. This is in fact recognizing the de facto situation for the past few years. I have obviously no intention of going away, and I will do everything within my power to improve Linux on x86 and x86 for Linux. This, however, puts credit where it is due and reflects a change of focus. This patch also removes stale entries for portions of the x86 architecture which have not been maintained separately from arch/x86 for a long time. If there is a reason to re-introduce them then that can happen later. Signed-off-by:

Sorry to send something essentially as late as possible (Friday after an rc9), but we managed to get a mailing list for the RISC-V Linux port. We've been using patches@groups.riscv.org for a while, but that list has some problems (it's Google Groups and it's shared over all RISC-V software projects). The new infaread.org list is much better. We just got it on Wednesday but I used it a bit on Thursday to shake out all the configuration problems and it appears to be in working order. When I updated the mailing list I noticed that the MAINTAINERS file was pointing to our github repo, but now that we have a kernel.org repo I'd like to point to that instead so I changed that as well. We'll be centralizing all RISC-V Linux related development here as that seems to be the saner way to go about it. I can understand if it's too late to get this into 4.15, but given that it's not a code change I was hoping it'd still be OK. It would be nice to have the new mailing list and git repo in the release tarballs so when people start to find bugs they'll get to the right place" * tag 'riscv-for-linus-4.15-maintainers' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/palmer/riscv-linux: Update the RISC-V MAINTAINERS file
