      x86/boot: Fix if_changed build flip/flop bug · 92a47286
      Kees Cook authored 
      Dirk Gouders reported that two consecutive "make" invocations on an
already compiled tree will show alternating behaviors:

$ make
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  DESCEND  objtool
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  DATAREL arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux
Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready  (#48)
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 165 modules

$ make
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  DESCEND  objtool
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  LD      arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux
  ZOFFSET arch/x86/boot/zoffset.h
  AS      arch/x86/boot/header.o
  LD      arch/x86/boot/setup.elf
  OBJCOPY arch/x86/boot/setup.bin
  OBJCOPY arch/x86/boot/vmlinux.bin
  BUILD   arch/x86/boot/bzImage
Setup is 15644 bytes (padded to 15872 bytes).
System is 6663 kB
CRC 3eb90f40

He bisected it back to:

    commit 98f78525 ("x86/boot: Refuse to build with data relocations")

The root cause was the use of the "if_changed" kbuild function multiple
times for the same target. It was designed to only be used once per
target, otherwise it will effectively always trigger, flipping back and
forth between the two commands getting recorded by "if_changed". Instead,
this patch merges the two commands into a single function to get stable
build artifacts (i.e. .vmlinux.cmd), and a single build behavior.

      x86/entry/64: Remove %ebx handling from error_entry/exit · b3681dd5
      Andy Lutomirski authored 
      error_entry and error_exit communicate the user vs. kernel status of
the frame using %ebx.  This is unnecessary -- the information is in
regs->cs.  Just use regs->cs.

This makes error_entry simpler and makes error_exit more robust.

It also fixes a nasty bug.  Before all the Spectre nonsense, the
xen_failsafe_callback entry point returned like this:

        ALLOC_PT_GPREGS_ON_STACK
        SAVE_C_REGS
        SAVE_EXTRA_REGS
        ENCODE_FRAME_POINTER
        jmp     error_exit

And it did not go through error_entry.  This was bogus: RBX
contained garbage, and error_exit expected a flag in RBX.

Fortunately, it generally contained *nonzero* garbage, so the
correct code path was used.  As part of the Spectre fixes, code was
added to clear RBX to mitigate certain speculation attacks.  Now,
depending on kernel configuration, RBX got zeroed and, when running
some Wine workloads, the kernel crashes.  This was introduced by:

    commit 3ac6d8c7 ("x86/entry/64: Clear registers for exceptions/interrupts, to reduce speculation attack surface")

With this patch applied, RBX is no longer needed as a flag, and the
problem goes away.

I suspect that malicious userspace could use this bug to crash the
kernel even without the offending patch applied, though.

[ Historical note: I wrote this patch as a cleanup before I was aware
  of the bug it fixed. ]

[ Note to stable maintainers: this should probably get applied to all
  kernels.  If you're nervous about that, a more conservative fix to
  add xorl %ebx,%ebx; incl %ebx before the jump to error_exit should
  also fix the problem. ]

      x86/apic: Future-proof the TSC_DEADLINE quirk for SKX · d9e6dbcf
      Len Brown authored 
      All SKX with stepping higher than 4 support the TSC_DEADLINE,
no matter the microcode version.

Without this patch, upcoming SKX steppings will not be able to use
their TSC_DEADLINE timer.
