Checkin:
b3b42ac2cbae x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels
disabled 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels due to an information
leak. However, it does seem that people are genuinely using Wine to
run old 16-bit Windows programs on Linux.
A proper fix for this ("espfix64") is coming in the upcoming merge
window, but as a temporary fix, create a sysctl to allow the
administrator to re-enable support for 16-bit segments.
It adds a "/proc/sys/abi/ldt16" sysctl that defaults to zero (off). If
you hit this issue and care about your old Windows program more than
you care about a kernel stack address information leak, you can do
echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16
as root (add it to your startup scripts), and you should be ok.
The sysctl table is only added if you have COMPAT support enabled on
x86-64, but I assume anybody who runs old windows binaries very much
does that ;)

The invalidation is required in order to maintain proper semantics
under CoW conditions. In scenarios where a process clones several
threads, a thread operating on a core whose DTLB entry for a
particular hugepage has not been invalidated, will be reading from
the hugepage that belongs to the forked child process, even after
hugetlb_cow().
The thread will not see the updated page as long as the stale DTLB
entry remains cached, the thread attempts to write into the page,
the child process exits, or the thread gets migrated to a different
processor.

One can logically expect that when the user has specified "nordrand",
the user doesn't want any use of the CPU random number generator,
neither RDRAND nor RDSEED, so disable both.

With tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec being a 32-bit value on 32-bit
systems, (tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec << tk->shift) in update_vsyscall()
may lose upper bits or, worse, add them since compiler will do this:
(u64)(tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec << tk->shift)
instead of
((u64)tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec << tk->shift)
So if, for example, tv_nsec is 0x800000 and shift is 8 we will end up
with 0xffffffff80000000 instead of 0x80000000. And then we are stuck in
the subsequent 'while' loop.
We need an explicit cast.

Due to a typo the msr accessor function introduced in
22085a66c2fab6cf9b9393c056a3600a6b4735de didn't have any lasting
effects because they accidentally wrote the old value back.
After c0a639ad0bc6b178b46996bd1f821a04643e2bde this at the very least
this causes cpuid limits not to be lifted on some cpus leading to
missing capabilities for those.

Standardize the idle polling indicator to TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG such that
both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG are in the same word.
This will allow us, using fetch_or(), to both set NEED_RESCHED and
check for POLLING_NRFLAG in a single operation and avoid pointless
wakeups.
Changing from the non-atomic thread_info::status flags to the atomic
thread_info::flags shouldn't be a big issue since most polling state
changes were followed/preceded by a full memory barrier anyway.
Also, fix up the apm_32 idle function, clearly that was forgotten in
the last conversion. The default idle state is !POLLING so just kill
the lot.

If you are using a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userland, then
scripts/gcc-x86_64-has-stack-protector.sh invokes 32-bit gcc
with -mcmodel=kernel, which produces:
<stdin>:1:0: error: code model 'kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode
and trips the "broken compiler" test at arch/x86/Makefile:120.
There are several places a fix is possible, but the following seems
cleanest. (But it's minimal; it would also be possible to factor
out a bunch of stuff from the two branches of the if.)

arch/x86/crypto/sha1_avx2_x86_64_asm.S introduced _end as a local
symbol, which broke the build under certain circumstances. Although
the wisdom of _end as a local symbol can definitely be questioned, the
build should not break for that reason.
Thus, filter the output of nm to only get global symbols of

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"This udpate delivers:
- A fix for dynamic interrupt allocation on x86 which is required to
exclude the GSI interrupts from the dynamic allocatable range.
This was detected with the newfangled tablet SoCs which have GPIOs
and therefor allocate a range of interrupts. The MSI allocations
already excluded the GSI range, so we never noticed before.
- The last missing set_irq_affinity() repair, which was delayed due
to testing issues
- A few bug fixes for the armada SoC interrupt controller
- A memory allocation fix for the TI crossbar interrupt controller
- A trivial kernel-doc warning fix"

earlyprintk=efi,keep will cause kernel hangs while freeing initmem like
below:
VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) readonly on device 254:2.
devtmpfs: mounted
Freeing unused kernel memory: 880K (ffffffff817d4000 - ffffffff818b0000)
It is caused by efi earlyprintk use __init function which will be freed
later. Such as early_efi_write is marked as __init, also it will use
early_ioremap which is init function as well.
To fix this issue, I added early initcall early_efi_map_fb which maps
the whole efi fb for later use. OTOH, adding a wrapper function
early_efi_map which calls early_ioremap before ioremap is available.
With this patch applied efi boot ok with earlyprintk=efi,keep console=efi

On x86 the allocation of irq descriptors may allocate interrupts which
are in the range of the GSI interrupts. That's wrong as those
interrupts are hardwired and we don't have the irq domain translation
like PPC. So one of these interrupts can be hooked up later to one of
the devices which are hard wired to it and the io_apic init code for
that particular interrupt line happily reuses that descriptor with a
completely different configuration so hell breaks lose.
Inside x86 we allocate dynamic interrupts from above nr_gsi_irqs,
except for a few usage sites which have not yet blown up in our face
for whatever reason. But for drivers which need an irq range, like the
GPIO drivers, we have no limit in place and we don't want to expose
such a detail to a driver.
To cure this introduce a function which an architecture can implement
to impose a lower bound on the dynamic interrupt allocations.
Implement it for x86 and set the lower bound to nr_gsi_irqs, which is
the end of the hardwired interrupt space, so all dynamic allocations
happen above.
That not only allows the GPIO driver to work sanely, it also protects
the bogus callsites of create_irq_nr() in hpet, uv, irq_remapping and
htirq code. They need to be cleaned up as well, but that's a separate
issue.

We track shadow vmcs fields through two static lists,
one for read only and another for r/w fields. However, with
addition of new vmcs fields, not all fields may be supported on
all hosts. If so, copy_vmcs12_to_shadow() trying to vmwrite on
unsupported hosts will result in a vmwrite error. For example, commit
36be0b9deb23161 introduced GUEST_BNDCFGS, which is not supported
by all processors. Filter out host unsupported fields before
letting guests use shadow vmcs

Correct IRQ routing in case a vSMP box is detected
but the Interrupt Routing Comply (IRC) value is set to
"comply", which leads to incorrect IRQ routing.
Before the patch:
When a vSMP box was detected and IRC was set to "comply",
users (and the kernel) couldn't effectively set the
destination of the IRQs. This is because the hook inside
vsmp_64.c always setup all CPUs as the IRQ destination using
cpumask_setall() as the return value for IRQ allocation mask.
Later, this "overrided" mask caused the kernel to set the IRQ
destination to the lowest online CPU in the mask (CPU0 usually).
After the patch:
When the IRC is set to "comply", users (and the kernel) can control
the destination of the IRQs as we will not be changing the
default "apic->vector_allocation_domain".

Current kprobes in-kernel page fault handler doesn't
expect that its single-stepping can be interrupted by
an NMI handler which may cause a page fault(e.g. perf
with callback tracing).
In that case, the page-fault handled by kprobes and it
misunderstands the page-fault has been caused by the
single-stepping code and tries to recover IP address
to probed address.
But the truth is the page-fault has been caused by the
NMI handler, and do_page_fault failes to handle real
page fault because the IP address is modified and
causes Kernel BUGs like below.
----
[ 2264.726905] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020
[ 2264.727190] IP: [<ffffffff813c46e0>] copy_user_generic_string+0x0/0x40
To handle this correctly, I fixed the kprobes fault
handler to ensure the faulted ip address is its own
single-step buffer instead of checking current kprobe
state.

The following commit:
27f6c573e0f7 ("x86, CMCI: Add proper detection of end of CMCI storms")
Added two preemption bugs:
- machine_check_poll() does a get_cpu_var() without a matching
put_cpu_var(), which causes preemption imbalance and crashes upon
bootup.
- it does percpu ops without disabling preemption. Preemption is not
disabled due to the mistaken use of a raw spinlock.
To fix these bugs fix the imbalance and change
cmci_discover_lock to a regular spinlock.

Steve reported a reboot hang and bisected it back to this commit:
a4f1987e4c54 x86, reboot: Add EFI and CF9 reboot methods into the default list
He heroically tested all reboot methods and found the following:
reboot=t # triple fault ok
reboot=k # keyboard ctrl FAIL
reboot=b # BIOS ok
reboot=a # ACPI FAIL
reboot=e # EFI FAIL [system has no EFI]
reboot=p # PCI 0xcf9 FAIL
And I think it's pretty obvious that we should only try PCI 0xcf9 as a
last resort - if at all.
The other observation is that (on this box) we should never try
the PCI reboot method, but close with either the 'triple fault'
or the 'BIOS' (terminal!) reboot methods.
Thirdly, CF9_COND is a total misnomer - it should be something like
CF9_SAFE or CF9_CAREFUL, and 'CF9' should be 'CF9_FORCE' ...
So this patch fixes the worst problems:
- it orders the actual reboot logic to follow the reboot ordering
pattern - it was in a pretty random order before for no good
reason.
- it fixes the CF9 misnomers and uses BOOT_CF9_FORCE and
BOOT_CF9_SAFE flags to make the code more obvious.
- it tries the BIOS reboot method before the PCI reboot method.
(Since 'BIOS' is a terminal reboot method resulting in a hang
if it does not work, this is essentially equivalent to removing
the PCI reboot method from the default reboot chain.)
- just for the miraculous possibility of terminal (resulting
in hang) reboot methods of triple fault or BIOS returning
without having done their job, there's an ordering between
them as well.

The git commit a945928ea2709bc0e8e8165d33aed855a0110279
('xen: Do not enable spinlocks before jump_label_init() has executed')
was added to deal with the jump machinery. Earlier the code
that turned on the jump label was only called by Xen specific
functions. But now that it had been moved to the initcall machinery
it gets called on Xen, KVM, and baremetal - ouch!. And the detection
machinery to only call it on Xen wasn't remembered in the heat
of merge window excitement.
This means that the slowpath is enabled on baremetal while it should
not be.

Commit 198d208df4371734ac4728f69cb585c284d20a15 ("x86: Keep
thread_info on thread stack in x86_32") made 32-bit kernels use
kernel_stack to point to thread_info. That change missed a couple of
updates needed by Xen's 32-bit PV guests:
1. kernel_stack needs to be initialized for secondary CPUs
2. GET_THREAD_INFO() now uses %fs register which may not be the
kernel's version when executing xen_iret().
With respect to the second issue, we don't need GET_THREAD_INFO()
anymore: we used it as an intermediate step to get to per_cpu xen_vcpu
and avoid referencing %fs. Now that we are going to use %fs anyway we
may as well go directly to xen_vcpu.

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.

When we build an already built kernel again, arch/x86/syscalls/Makefile
and arch/x86/tools/Makefile emits "Nothing to be done for ..."
messages.
Here is the command log:
$ make defconfig

$ make
[ snip ]
$ make
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. <-----
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `relocs'. <-----
CHK include/config/kernel.release

Besides not emitting those, "all" and "relocs" should be added to PHONY as well.

Have the KB(),MB(),GB() macros produce unsigned longs to avoid
unintended sign extension issues with the gen2 memory size
detection.
What happens is first the uint8_t returned by
read_pci_config_byte() gets promoted to an int which gets
multiplied by another int from the MB() macro, and finally the
result gets sign extended to size_t.
Although this shouldn't be a problem in practice as all affected
gen2 platforms are 32bit AFAIK, so size_t will be 32 bits.
