Pull x86 fpu updates from Ingo Molnar: "The biggest change in terms of impact is the changing of the FPU context switch model to 'eagerfpu' for all CPU types, via: commit 58122bf1: "x86/fpu: Default eagerfpu=on on all CPUs" This makes all FPU saves and restores synchronous and makes the FPU code a lot more obvious to read. In the next cycle, if this change is problem free, we'll remove the old lazy FPU restore code altogether. This change flushed out some old bugs, which should all be fixed by now, BYMMV" * 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/fpu: Default eagerfpu=on on all CPUs x86/fpu: Speed up lazy FPU restores slightly x86/fpu: Fold fpu_copy() into fpu__copy() x86/fpu: Fix FNSAVE usage in eagerfpu mode x86/fpu: Fix math emulation in eager fpu mode

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle are: - Make schedstats a runtime tunable (disabled by default) and optimize it via static keys. As most distributions enable CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS=y due to its instrumentation value, this is a nice performance enhancement. (Mel Gorman) - Implement 'simple waitqueues' (swait): these are just pure waitqueues without any of the more complex features of full-blown waitqueues (callbacks, wake flags, wake keys, etc.). Simple waitqueues have less memory overhead and are faster. Use simple waitqueues in the RCU code (in 4 different places) and for handling KVM vCPU wakeups.

There are lots of perf tooling updates as well. A few highlights: perf report/top: - Hierarchy histogram mode for 'perf top' and 'perf report', showing multiple levels, one per --sort entry: (Namhyung Kim) On a mostly idle system: # perf top --hierarchy -s comm,dso Then expand some levels and use 'P' to take a snapshot: # cat perf.hist.0 - 92.32% perf 58.20% perf 22.29% libc-2.22.so 5.97% [kernel] 4.18% libelf-0.165.so 1.69% [unknown] - 4.71% qemu-system-x86 3.10% [kernel] 1.60% qemu-system-x86_64 (deleted) + 2.97% swapper # - Add 'L' hotkey to dynamicly set the percent threshold for histogram entries and callchains, i.e. dynamicly do what the --percent-limit command line option to 'top' and 'report' does. (Namhyung Kim) perf mem: - Allow specifying events via -e in 'perf mem record', also listing what events can be specified via 'perf mem record -e list' (Jiri Olsa) perf record: - Add 'perf record' --all-user/--all-kernel options, so that one can tell that all the events in the command line should be restricted to the user or kernel levels (Jiri Olsa), i.e.: perf record -e cycles:u,instructions:u is equivalent to: perf record --all-user -e cycles,instructions - Make 'perf record' collect CPU cache info in the perf.data file header: $ perf record usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (7 samples) ] $ perf report --header-only -I | tail -10 | head -8 # CPU cache info: # L1 Data 32K [0-1] # L1 Instruction 32K [0-1] # L1 Data 32K [2-3] # L1 Instruction 32K [2-3] # L2 Unified 256K [0-1] # L2 Unified 256K [2-3] # L3 Unified 4096K [0-3] Will be used in 'perf c2c' and eventually in 'perf diff' to allow, for instance running the same workload in multiple machines and then when using 'diff' show the hardware difference. (Jiri Olsa) - Improved support for Java, using the JVMTI agent library to do jitdumps that then will be inserted in synthesized PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events via 'perf inject' pointed to synthesized ELF files stored in ~/.debug and keyed with build-ids, to allow symbol resolution and even annotation with source line info, see the changeset comments to see how to use it (Stephane Eranian) perf script/trace: - Decode data_src values (e.g. perf.data files generated by 'perf mem record') in 'perf script': (Jiri Olsa) # perf script perf 693 [1] 4.088652: 1 cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: ffff88007d0b0f40 68100142 L1 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No <SNIP> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Improve support to 'data_src', 'weight' and 'addr' fields in 'perf script' (Jiri Olsa) - Handle empty print fmts in 'perf script -s' i.e. when running python or perl scripts (Taeung Song) perf stat: - 'perf stat' now shows shadow metrics (insn per cycle, etc) in interval mode too. E.g: # perf stat -I 1000 -e instructions,cycles sleep 1 # time counts unit events 1.000215928 519,620 instructions # 0.69 insn per cycle 1.000215928 752,003 cycles <SNIP> - Port 'perf kvm stat' to PowerPC (Hemant Kumar) - Implement CSV metrics output in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen) perf BPF support: - Support converting data from bpf events in 'perf data' (Wang Nan) - Print bpf-output events in 'perf script': (Wang Nan). # perf record -e bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ -e ./test_bpf_output_3.c/map:channel.event=evt/ usleep 1000 # perf script usleep 4882 21384.532523: evt: ffffffff810e97d1 sys_nanosleep ([kernel.kallsyms]) BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20 Raise a 0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e BPF even 0010: 74 21 00 00 t!..

Pull read-only kernel memory updates from Ingo Molnar: "This tree adds two (security related) enhancements to the kernel's handling of read-only kernel memory: - extend read-only kernel memory to a new class of formerly writable kernel data: 'post-init read-only memory' via the __ro_after_init attribute, and mark the ARM and x86 vDSO as such read-only memory. This kind of attribute can be used for data that requires a once per bootup initialization sequence, but is otherwise never modified after that point. This feature was based on the work by PaX Team and Brad Spengler. (by Kees Cook, the ARM vDSO bits by David Brown.) - make CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA always enabled on x86 and remove the Kconfig option. This simplifies the kernel and also signals that read-only memory is the default model and a first-class citizen.

When calculate_cpu_foreign_map() recalculates the cpu_foreign_map cpumask it uses the local variable temp_foreign_map without initialising it to zero. Since the calculation only ever sets bits in this cpumask any existing bits at that memory location will remain set and find their way into cpu_foreign_map too. This could potentially lead to cache operations suboptimally doing smp calls to multiple VPEs in the same core, even though the VPEs share primary caches. Therefore initialise temp_foreign_map using cpumask_clear() before use.

The MIPS_GIC_IPI should only be selected when MIPS_GIC is also selected, otherwise it results in a compile error. smp-gic.c uses some functions from include/linux/irqchip/mips-gic.h like plat_ipi_call_int_xlate() which are only added to the header file when MIPS_GIC is set. The Lantiq SoC does not use the GIC, but supports SMP. The calls top the functions from smp-gic.c are already protected by some #ifdefs The first part of this was introduced in commit 72e20142 ("MIPS: Move GIC IPI functions out of smp-cmp.c") Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de> Cc: Paul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.15+ Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/12774/Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Some machines have EFI regions in page zero (physical address 0x00000000) and historically that region has been added to the e820 map via trim_bios_range(), and ultimately mapped into the kernel page tables. It was not mapped via efi_map_regions() as one would expect. Alexis reports that with the new separate EFI page tables some boot services regions, such as page zero, are not mapped. This triggers an oops during the SetVirtualAddressMap() runtime call. For the EFI boot services quirk on x86 we need to memblock_reserve() boot services regions until after SetVirtualAddressMap(). Doing that while respecting the ownership of regions that may have already been reserved by the kernel was the motivation behind this commit: 7d68dc3f ("x86, efi: Do not reserve boot services regions within reserved areas") That patch was merged at a time when the EFI runtime virtual mappings were inserted into the kernel page tables as described above, and the trick of setting ->numpages (and hence the region size) to zero to track regions that should not be freed in efi_free_boot_services() meant that we never mapped those regions in efi_map_regions(). Instead we were relying solely on the existing kernel mappings. Now that we have separate page tables we need to make sure the EFI boot services regions are mapped correctly, even if someone else has already called memblock_reserve(). Instead of stashing a tag in ->numpages, set the EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME bit of ->attribute. Since it generally makes no sense to mark a boot services region as required at runtime, it's pretty much guaranteed the firmware will not have already set this bit. For the record, the specific circumstances under which Alexis triggered this bug was that an EFI runtime driver on his machine was responding to the EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE event during SetVirtualAddressMap(). The event handler for this driver looks like this, sub rsp,0x28 lea rdx,[rip+0x2445] # 0xaa948720 mov ecx,0x4 call func_aa9447c0 ; call to ConvertPointer(4, & 0xaa948720) mov r11,QWORD PTR [rip+0x2434] # 0xaa948720 xor eax,eax mov BYTE PTR [r11+0x1],0x1 add rsp,0x28 ret Which is pretty typical code for an EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE handler. The "mov r11, QWORD PTR [rip+0x2424]" was the faulting instruction because ConvertPointer() was being called to convert the address 0x0000000000000000, which when converted is left unchanged and remains 0x0000000000000000. The output of the oops trace gave the impression of a standard NULL pointer dereference bug, but because we're accessing physical addresses during ConvertPointer(), it wasn't. EFI boot services code is stored at that address on Alexis' machine.

i486 derived cores like Intel Quark support only the very old, legacy x87 FPU (FSAVE/FRSTOR, CPUID bit FXSR is not set), and our FPU code wasn't handling the saving and restoring there properly in the 'eagerfpu' case. So after we made eagerfpu the default for all CPU types: 58122bf1 x86/fpu: Default eagerfpu=on on all CPUs these old FPU designs broke. First, Andy Shevchenko reported a splat: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 823 at arch/x86/include/asm/fpu/internal.h:163 fpu__clear+0x8c/0x160 which was us trying to execute FXRSTOR on those machines even though they don't support it. After taking care of that, Bryan O'Donoghue reported that a simple FPU test still failed because we weren't initializing the FPU state properly on those machines. Take care of all that.

When the Crypto SRAM mappings were added to the Device Tree files describing the Armada XP boards in commit c466d997 ("ARM: mvebu: define crypto SRAM ranges for all armada-xp boards"), the fact that those mappings were overlaping with the PCIe memory aperture was overlooked. Due to this, we currently have for all Armada XP platforms a situation that looks like this: Memory mapping on Armada XP boards with internal registers at 0xf1000000: - 0x00000000 -> 0xf0000000 3.75G RAM - 0xf0000000 -> 0xf1000000 16M NOR flashes (AXP GP / AXP DB) - 0xf1000000 -> 0xf1100000 1M internal registers - 0xf8000000 -> 0xffe0000 126M PCIe memory aperture - 0xf8100000 -> 0xf8110000 64KB Crypto SRAM #0 => OVERLAPS WITH PCIE ! - 0xf8110000 -> 0xf8120000 64KB Crypto SRAM #1 => OVERLAPS WITH PCIE ! - 0xffe00000 -> 0xfff00000 1M PCIe I/O aperture - 0xfff0000 -> 0xffffffff 1M BootROM The overlap means that when PCIe devices are added, depending on their memory window needs, they might or might not be mapped into the physical address space. Indeed, they will not be mapped if the area allocated in the PCIe memory aperture by the PCI core overlaps with one of the Crypto SRAM. Typically, a Intel IGB PCIe NIC that needs 8MB of PCIe memory will see its PCIe memory window allocated from 0xf80000000 for 8MB, which overlaps with the Crypto SRAM windows. Due to this, the PCIe window is not created, and any attempt to access the PCIe window makes the kernel explode: [ 3.302213] igb: Copyright (c) 2007-2014 Intel Corporation. [ 3.307841] pci 0000:00:09.0: enabling device (0140 -> 0143) [ 3.313539] mvebu_mbus: cannot add window '4:f8', conflicts with another window [ 3.320870] mvebu-pcie soc:pcie-controller: Could not create MBus window at [mem 0xf8000000-0xf87fffff]: -22 [ 3.330811] Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1008) at 0xf08c0018 This problem does not occur on Armada 370 boards, because we use the following memory mapping (for boards that have internal registers at 0xf1000000): - 0x00000000 -> 0xf0000000 3.75G RAM - 0xf0000000 -> 0xf1000000 16M NOR flashes (AXP GP / AXP DB) - 0xf1000000 -> 0xf1100000 1M internal registers - 0xf1100000 -> 0xf1110000 64KB Crypto SRAM #0 => OK ! - 0xf8000000 -> 0xffe0000 126M PCIe memory - 0xffe00000 -> 0xfff00000 1M PCIe I/O - 0xfff0000 -> 0xffffffff 1M BootROM Obviously, the solution is to align the location of the Crypto SRAM mappings of Armada XP to be similar with the ones on Armada 370, i.e have them between the "internal registers" area and the beginning of the PCIe aperture. However, we have a special case with the OpenBlocks AX3-4 platform, which has a 128 MB NOR flash. Currently, this NOR flash is mapped from 0xf0000000 to 0xf8000000. This is possible because on OpenBlocks AX3-4, the internal registers are not at 0xf1000000. And this explains why the Crypto SRAM mappings were not configured at the same place on Armada XP. Hence, the solution is two-fold: (1) Move the NOR flash mapping on Armada XP OpenBlocks AX3-4 from 0xe8000000 to 0xf0000000. This frees the 0xf0000000 -> 0xf80000000 space. (2) Move the Crypto SRAM mappings on Armada XP to be similar to Armada 370 (except of course that Armada XP has two Crypto SRAM and not one). After this patch, the memory mapping on Armada XP boards with registers at 0xf1 is: - 0x00000000 -> 0xf0000000 3.75G RAM - 0xf0000000 -> 0xf1000000 16M NOR flashes (AXP GP / AXP DB) - 0xf1000000 -> 0xf1100000 1M internal registers - 0xf1100000 -> 0xf1110000 64KB Crypto SRAM #0 - 0xf1110000 -> 0xf1120000 64KB Crypto SRAM #1 - 0xf8000000 -> 0xffe0000 126M PCIe memory - 0xffe00000 -> 0xfff00000 1M PCIe I/O - 0xfff0000 -> 0xffffffff 1M BootROM And the memory mapping for the special case of the OpenBlocks AX3-4 (internal registers at 0xd0000000, NOR of 128 MB): - 0x00000000 -> 0xc0000000 3G RAM - 0xd0000000 -> 0xd1000000 1M internal registers - 0xe800000 -> 0xf0000000 128M NOR flash - 0xf1100000 -> 0xf1110000 64KB Crypto SRAM #0 - 0xf1110000 -> 0xf1120000 64KB Crypto SRAM #1 - 0xf8000000 -> 0xffe0000 126M PCIe memory - 0xffe00000 -> 0xfff00000 1M PCIe I/O - 0xfff0000 -> 0xffffffff 1M BootROM Fixes: c466d997 ("ARM: mvebu: define crypto SRAM ranges for all armada-xp boards") Reported-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc> Cc: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> Acked-by: Gregory CLEMENT <gregory.clement@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>

Currently on i386 and on X86_64 when emulating X86_32 in legacy mode, only the stack and the executable are randomized but not other mmapped files (libraries, vDSO, etc.). This patch enables randomization for the libraries, vDSO and mmap requests on i386 and in X86_32 in legacy mode. By default on i386 there are 8 bits for the randomization of the libraries, vDSO and mmaps which only uses 1MB of VA. This patch preserves the original randomness, using 1MB of VA out of 3GB or 4GB. We think that 1MB out of 3GB is not a big cost for having the ASLR. The first obvious security benefit is that all objects are randomized (not only the stack and the executable) in legacy mode which highly increases the ASLR effectiveness, otherwise the attackers may use these non-randomized areas. But also sensitive setuid/setgid applications are more secure because currently, attackers can disable the randomization of these applications by setting the ulimit stack to "unlimited". This is a very old and widely known trick to disable the ASLR in i386 which has been allowed for too long. Another trick used to disable the ASLR was to set the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE personality flag, but fortunately this doesn't work on setuid/setgid applications because there is security checks which clear Security-relevant flags. This patch always randomizes the mmap_legacy_base address, removing the possibility to disable the ASLR by setting the stack to "unlimited".
