Pull x86 microcode loading update from Borislav Petkov: "A nice Intel microcode blob loading cleanup which gets rid of the ugly memcpy wrappers and switches the driver to use the iov_iter API. By Jann Horn. In addition, the /dev/cpu/microcode interface is finally deprecated as it is inadequate for the same reasons the late microcode loading is" * 'x86-microcode-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/microcode: Deprecate MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE x86/microcode: Fix the ancient deprecated microcode loading method x86/microcode/intel: Refactor Intel microcode blob loading

Pull x86 mm updates from Ingo Molnar: "The changes in here are: - text_poke() fixes and an extensive set of executability lockdowns, to (hopefully) eliminate the last residual circumstances under which we are using W|X mappings even temporarily on x86 kernels.

Pull stack trace updates from Ingo Molnar: "So Thomas looked at the stacktrace code recently and noticed a few weirdnesses, and we all know how such stories of crummy kernel code meeting German engineering perfection end: a 45-patch series to clean it all up! :-) Here's the changes in Thomas's words: 'Struct stack_trace is a sinkhole for input and output parameters which is largely pointless for most usage sites. In fact if embedded into other data structures it creates indirections and extra storage overhead for no benefit. Looking at all usage sites makes it clear that they just require an interface which is based on a storage array. That array is either on stack, global or embedded into some other data structure. Some of the stack depot usage sites are outright wrong, but fortunately the wrongness just causes more stack being used for nothing and does not have functional impact. Another oddity is the inconsistent termination of the stack trace with ULONG_MAX. It's pointless as the number of entries is what determines the length of the stored trace. In fact quite some call sites remove the ULONG_MAX marker afterwards with or without nasty comments about it. Not all architectures do that and those which do, do it inconsistenly either conditional on nr_entries == 0 or unconditionally. The following series cleans that up by: 1) Removing the ULONG_MAX termination in the architecture code 2) Removing the ULONG_MAX fixups at the call sites 3) Providing plain storage array based interfaces for stacktrace and stackdepot. 4) Cleaning up the mess at the callsites including some related cleanups. 5) Removing the struct stack_trace based interfaces This is not changing the struct stack_trace interfaces at the architecture level, but it removes the exposure to the generic code'" * 'core-stacktrace-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (45 commits) x86/stacktrace: Use common infrastructure stacktrace: Provide common infrastructure lib/stackdepot: Remove obsolete functions stacktrace: Remove obsolete functions livepatch: Simplify stack trace retrieval tracing: Remove the last struct stack_trace usage tracing: Simplify stack trace retrieval tracing: Make ftrace_trace_userstack() static and conditional tracing: Use percpu stack trace buffer more intelligently tracing: Simplify stacktrace retrieval in histograms lockdep: Simplify stack trace handling lockdep: Remove save argument from check_prev_add() lockdep: Remove unused trace argument from print_circular_bug() drm: Simplify stacktrace handling dm persistent data: Simplify stack trace handling dm bufio: Simplify stack trace retrieval btrfs: ref-verify: Simplify stack trace retrieval dma/debug: Simplify stracktrace retrieval fault-inject: Simplify stacktrace retrieval mm/page_owner: Simplify stack trace handling ...

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar: "This is a series from Peter Zijlstra that adds x86 build-time uaccess validation of SMAP to objtool, which will detect and warn about the following uaccess API usage bugs and weirdnesses: - call to %s() with UACCESS enabled - return with UACCESS enabled - return with UACCESS disabled from a UACCESS-safe function - recursive UACCESS enable - redundant UACCESS disable - UACCESS-safe disables UACCESS As it turns out not leaking uaccess permissions outside the intended uaccess functionality is hard when the interfaces are complex and when such bugs are mostly dormant. As a bonus we now also check the DF flag. We had at least one high-profile bug in that area in the early days of Linux, and the checking is fairly simple. The checks performed and warnings emitted are: - call to %s() with DF set - return with DF set - return with modified stack frame - recursive STD - redundant CLD It's all x86-only for now, but later on this can also be used for PAN on ARM and objtool is fairly cross-platform in principle.

This is another patch to fix new warnings from gcc-9 before I start the merge window pulls. I don't want to miss legitimate new warnings just because my system update brought a new compiler with new warnings. Signed-off-by:

The kernel the kernel is built with -Wvla for some time, so is not supposed to have any variable length arrays. Remove vla bounds checking from ubsan since it's useless now. Signed-off-by:

Building lib/ubsan.c with gcc-9 results in a ton of nasty warnings like this one: lib/ubsan.c warning: conflicting types for built-in function ‘__ubsan_handle_negate_overflow’; expected ‘void(void *, void *)’ [-Wbuiltin-declaration-mismatch] The kernel's declarations of __ubsan_handle_*() often uses 'unsigned long' types in parameters while GCC these parameters as 'void *' types, hence the mismatch. Fix this by using 'void *' to match GCC's declarations. Reported-by:

Pull perf fixes from Ingo Molnar: "I'd like to apologize for this very late pull request: I was dithering through the week whether to send the fixes, and then yesterday Jiri's crash fix for a regression introduced in this cycle clearly marked perf/urgent as 'must merge now'.

New race in x86_pmu_stop() was introduced by replacing the atomic __test_and_clear_bit() of cpuc->active_mask by separate test_bit() and __clear_bit() calls in the following commit: 3966c3fe ("x86/perf/amd: Remove need to check "running" bit in NMI handler") The race causes panic for PEBS events with enabled callchains: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 ... RIP: 0010:perf_prepare_sample+0x8c/0x530 Call Trace: <NMI> perf_event_output_forward+0x2a/0x80 __perf_event_overflow+0x51/0xe0 handle_pmi_common+0x19e/0x240 intel_pmu_handle_irq+0xad/0x170 perf_event_nmi_handler+0x2e/0x50 nmi_handle+0x69/0x110 default_do_nmi+0x3e/0x100 do_nmi+0x11a/0x180 end_repeat_nmi+0x16/0x1a RIP: 0010:native_write_msr+0x6/0x20 ... </NMI> intel_pmu_disable_event+0x98/0xf0 x86_pmu_stop+0x6e/0xb0 x86_pmu_del+0x46/0x140 event_sched_out.isra.97+0x7e/0x160 ... The event is configured to make samples from PEBS drain code, but when it's disabled, we'll go through NMI path instead, where data->callchain will not get allocated and we'll crash: x86_pmu_stop test_bit(hwc->idx, cpuc->active_mask) intel_pmu_disable_event(event) { ... intel_pmu_pebs_disable(event); ... EVENT OVERFLOW -> <NMI> intel_pmu_handle_irq handle_pmi_common TEST PASSES -> test_bit(bit, cpuc->active_mask)) perf_event_overflow perf_prepare_sample { ... if (!(sample_type & __PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN_EARLY)) data->callchain = perf_callchain(event, regs); CRASH -> size += data->callchain->nr; } </NMI> ... x86_pmu_disable_event(event) } __clear_bit(hwc->idx, cpuc->active_mask); Fixing this by disabling the event itself before setting off the PEBS bit.
