      Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Bring back context level recursive protection in ring buffer.

   The simpler counter protection failed, due to a path when tracing
   with trace_clock_global() as it could not be reentrant and depended
   on the ring buffer recursive protection to keep that from happening.

 - Prevent branch profiling when FORTIFY_SOURCE is enabled.

   It causes 50 - 60 MB in warning messages. Branch profiling should
   never be run on production systems, so there's no reason that it
   needs to be enabled with FORTIFY_SOURCE.

      I regularly get 50 MB - 60 MB files during kernel randconfig builds.
These large files mostly contain (many repeats of; e.g., 124,594):

In file included from ../include/linux/string.h:6:0,
                 from ../include/linux/uuid.h:20,
                 from ../include/linux/mod_devicetable.h:13,
                 from ../scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.c:3:

This only happens when CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y and
CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES=y, so prevent PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES if
FORTIFY_SOURCE=y.

      ring-buffer: Bring back context level recursive checks · a0e3a18f
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored 
      Commit 1a149d7d ("ring-buffer: Rewrite trace_recursive_(un)lock() to be
simpler") replaced the context level recursion checks with a simple counter.
This would prevent the ring buffer code from recursively calling itself more
than the max number of contexts that exist (Normal, softirq, irq, nmi). But
this change caused a lockup in a specific case, which was during suspend and
resume using a global clock. Adding a stack dump to see where this occurred,
the issue was in the trace global clock itself:

  trace_buffer_lock_reserve+0x1c/0x50
  __trace_graph_entry+0x2d/0x90
  trace_graph_entry+0xe8/0x200
  prepare_ftrace_return+0x69/0xc0
  ftrace_graph_caller+0x78/0xa8
  queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x5/0x1d0
  trace_clock_global+0xb0/0xc0
  ring_buffer_lock_reserve+0xf9/0x390

The function graph tracer traced queued_spin_lock_slowpath that was called
by trace_clock_global. This pointed out that the trace_clock_global() is not
reentrant, as it takes a spin lock. It depended on the ring buffer recursive
lock from letting that happen.

By removing the context detection and adding just a max number of allowable
recursions, it allowed the trace_clock_global() to be entered again and try
to retake the spinlock it already held, causing a deadlock.

      x86/retpoline: Remove compile time warning · b8b9ce4b
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      Remove the compile time warning when CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y and the compiler
does not have retpoline support. Linus rationale for this is:

  It's wrong because it will just make people turn off RETPOLINE, and the
  asm updates - and return stack clearing - that are independent of the
  compiler are likely the most important parts because they are likely the
  ones easiest to target.

  And it's annoying because most people won't be able to do anything about
  it. The number of people building their own compiler? Very small. So if
  their distro hasn't got a compiler yet (and pretty much nobody does), the
  warning is just annoying crap.

  It is already properly reported as part of the sysfs interface. The
  compile-time warning only encourages bad things.

      Pull x86 pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This contains:

   - a PTI bugfix to avoid setting reserved CR3 bits when PCID is
     disabled. This seems to cause issues on a virtual machine at least
     and is incorrect according to the AMD manual.

   - a PTI bugfix which disables the perf BTS facility if PTI is
     enabled. The BTS AUX buffer is not globally visible and causes the
     CPU to fault when the mapping disappears on switching CR3 to user
     space. A full fix which restores BTS on PTI is non trivial and will
     be worked on.

   - PTI bugfixes for EFI and trusted boot which make sure that the user
     space visible page table entries have the NX bit cleared

   - removal of dead code in the PTI pagetable setup functions

   - add PTI documentation

   - add a selftest for vsyscall to verify that the kernel actually
     implements what it advertises.

   - a sysfs interface to expose vulnerability and mitigation
     information so there is a coherent way for users to retrieve the
     status.

   - the initial spectre_v2 mitigations, aka retpoline:

      + The necessary ASM thunk and compiler support

      + The ASM variants of retpoline and the conversion of affected ASM
        code

      + Make LFENCE serializing on AMD so it can be used as speculation
        trap

      + The RSB fill after vmexit

   - initial objtool support for retpoline

  As I said in the status mail this is the most of the set of patches
  which should go into 4.15 except two straight forward patches still on
  hold:

   - the retpoline add on of LFENCE which waits for ACKs

   - the RSB fill after context switch

  Both should be ready to go early next week and with that we'll have
  covered the major holes of spectre_v2 and go back to normality"

      x86,perf: Disable intel_bts when PTI · 99a9dc98
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      The intel_bts driver does not use the 'normal' BTS buffer which is exposed
through the cpu_entry_area but instead uses the memory allocated for the
perf AUX buffer.

This obviously comes apart when using PTI because then the kernel mapping;
which includes that AUX buffer memory; disappears. Fixing this requires to
expose a mapping which is visible in all context and that's not trivial.

As a quick fix disable this driver when PTI is enabled to prevent
malfunction.

      x86/pti: Fix !PCID and sanitize defines · f10ee3dc
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      The switch to the user space page tables in the low level ASM code sets
unconditionally bit 12 and bit 11 of CR3. Bit 12 is switching the base
address of the page directory to the user part, bit 11 is switching the
PCID to the PCID associated with the user page tables.

This fails on a machine which lacks PCID support because bit 11 is set in
CR3. Bit 11 is reserved when PCID is inactive.

While the Intel SDM claims that the reserved bits are ignored when PCID is
disabled, the AMD APM states that they should be cleared.

This went unnoticed as the AMD APM was not checked when the code was
developed and reviewed and test systems with Intel CPUs never failed to
boot. The report is against a Centos 6 host where the guest fails to boot,
so it's not yet clear whether this is a virt issue or can happen on real
hardware too, but thats irrelevant as the AMD APM clearly ask for clearing
the reserved bits.

Make sure that on non PCID machines bit 11 is not set by the page table
switching code.

Andy suggested to rename the related bits and masks so they are clearly
describing what they should be used for, which is done as well for clarity.

That split could have been done with alternatives but the macro hell is
horrible and ugly. This can be done on top if someone cares to remove the
extra orq. For now it's a straight forward fix.
