      [IA64] Change default PSR.ac from '1' to '0' (Fix erratum #237) · c0b5a64d
      Tony Luck authored
      April 2014 Itanium processor specification update:
      
      http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/itanium/itanium-specification-update.html
      
      describes this erratum:
      
      =========================================================================
      237. Under a complex set of conditions, store to load forwarding for a
      sub 8-byte load may complete incorrectly
      
      Problem: A load instruction may complete incorrectly when a code sequence
      using 4-byte or smaller load and store operations to the same address
      is executed in combination with specific timing of all the following
      concurrent conditions: store to load forwarding, alignment checking
      enabled, a mis-predicted branch, and complex cache utilization activity.
      
      Implication: The affected sub 8-byte instruction may complete
      incorrectly resulting in unpredictable system behavior. There is an
      extremely low probability of exposure due to the significant number of
      complex microarchitectural concurrent conditions required to encounter
      the erratum.
      
      Workaround: Set PSR.ac = 0 to completely avoid the erratum. Disabling
      Hyper-Threading will significantly reduce exposure to the conditions
      that contribute to encountering the erratum.
      
      Status: See the Summary Table of Changes for the affected steppings.
      =========================================================================
      
      [Table of changes essentially lists all models from McKinley to Tukwila]
      
      The PSR.ac bit controls whether the processor will always generate
      an unaligned reference trap (0x5a00) for a misaligned data access
      (when PSR.ac=1) or if it will let the access succeed when running
      on a cpu that implements logic to handle some unaligned accesses.
      
      Way back in 2008 in commit b704882e
        [IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checking
      we made the decision to always enable strict checking. We were
      already doing so in trap/interrupt context because the common
      preamble code set this bit - but the rest of supervisor code
      (and by inheritance user code) ran with PSR.ac=0.
      
      We now reverse that decision and set PSR.ac=0 everywhere in the
      kernel (also inherited by user processes). This will avoid the
      erratum using the method described in the Itanium specification
      update.  Net effect for users is that the processor will handle
      unaligned access when it can (typically with a tiny performance
      bubble in the pipeline ... but much less invasive than taking a
      trap and having the OS perform the access).

          Borkmann.
      
       6) skb_network_protocol() should not use hard-coded ETH_HLEN, instead
          skb->mac_len needs to be used.  From Vlad Yasevich.
      
       7) We have several cases of using socket based communications to
          implement a tunnel.  For example, some tunnels are encapsulations
          over UDP so we use an internal kernel UDP socket to do the
          transmits.
      
          These tunnels should behave just like other software devices and
          pass the packets on down to the next layer.
      
          Most importantly we want the top-level socket (eg TCP) that created
          the traffic to be charged for the SKB memory.
      
          However, once you get into the IP output path, we have code that
          assumed that whatever was attached to skb->sk is an IP socket.
      
          To keep the top-level socket being charged for the SKB memory,
          whilst satisfying the needs of the IP output path, we now pass in an
          explicit 'sk' argument.
      
          From Eric Dumazet.
      
       8) ping_init_sock() leaks group info, from Xiaoming Wang.

      user namespace: fix incorrect memory barriers · e79323bd
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      smp_read_barrier_depends() can be used if there is data dependency between
      the readers - i.e. if the read operation after the barrier uses address
      that was obtained from the read operation before the barrier.
      
      In this file, there is only control dependency, no data dependecy, so the
      use of smp_read_barrier_depends() is incorrect. The code could fail in the
      following way:
      * the cpu predicts that idx < entries is true and starts executing the
        body of the for loop
      * the cpu fetches map->extent[0].first and map->extent[0].count
      * the cpu fetches map->nr_extents
      * the cpu verifies that idx < extents is true, so it commits the
        instructions in the body of the for loop
      
      The problem is that in this scenario, the cpu read map->extent[0].first
      and map->nr_extents in the wrong order. We need a full read memory barrier
      to prevent it.

      net: Start with correct mac_len in skb_network_protocol · 1e785f48
      Vlad Yasevich authored
      Sometimes, when the packet arrives at skb_mac_gso_segment()
      its skb->mac_len already accounts for some of the mac lenght
      headers in the packet.  This seems to happen when forwarding
      through and OpenSSL tunnel.
      
      When we start looking for any vlan headers in skb_network_protocol()
      we seem to ignore any of the already known mac headers and start
      with an ETH_HLEN.  This results in an incorrect offset, dropped
      TSO frames and general slowness of the connection.
      
      We can start counting from the known skb->mac_len
      and return at least that much if all mac level headers
      are known and accounted for.
      
      Fixes: 53d6471c (net: Account for all vlan headers in skb_mac_gso_segment)

      Feng Wu authored
      SMAP is disabled if CPU is in non-paging mode in hardware.
      However KVM always uses paging mode to emulate guest non-paging
      mode with TDP. To emulate this behavior, SMAP needs to be
      manually disabled when guest switches to non-paging mode.

      With the reverted patch applied, the SCTP/IPv4 performance is back
      to normal on latest upstream for IPv4 and IPv6 and has same throughput
      as 3.4.2 test kernel, steady and interval reports are smooth again.

      net: filter: seccomp: fix wrong decoding of BPF_S_ANC_SECCOMP_LD_W · 8c482cdc
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      While reviewing seccomp code, we found that BPF_S_ANC_SECCOMP_LD_W has
      been wrongly decoded by commit a8fc9277 ("sk-filter: Add ability to
      get socket filter program (v2)") into the opcode BPF_LD|BPF_B|BPF_ABS
      although it should have been decoded as BPF_LD|BPF_W|BPF_ABS.
      
      In practice, this should not have much side-effect though, as such
      conversion is/was being done through prctl(2) PR_SET_SECCOMP. Reverse
      operation PR_GET_SECCOMP will only return the current seccomp mode, but
      not the filter itself. Since the transition to the new BPF infrastructure,
      it's also not used anymore, so we can simply remove this as it's
      unreachable.
