Pull more xen updates from Juergen Gross:
- A single patch to fix the Xen security issue XSA-331 (malicious
guests can DoS dom0 by triggering NULL-pointer dereferences or access
to stale data).
- A larger series to fix the Xen security issue XSA-332 (malicious
guests can DoS dom0 by sending events at high frequency leading to
dom0's vcpus being busy in IRQ handling for elongated times).
* tag 'for-linus-5.10b-rc1b-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip:
xen/events: block rogue events for some time
xen/events: defer eoi in case of excessive number of events
xen/events: use a common cpu hotplug hook for event channels

xen/events: fix race in evtchn_fifo_unmask()
xen/events: add a proper barrier to 2-level uevent unmasking
xen/events: avoid removing an event channel while handling it
|
|
In case rogue guests are sending events at high frequency it might
happen that xen_evtchn_do_upcall() won't stop processing events in
dom0. As this is done in irq handling a crash might be the result.
In order to avoid that, delay further inter-domain events after some
time in xen_evtchn_do_upcall() by forcing eoi processing into a
worker on the same cpu, thus inhibiting new events coming in.
The time after which eoi processing is to be delayed is configurable
via a new module parameter "event_loop_timeout" which specifies the
maximum event loop time in jiffies (default: 2, the value was chosen
after some tests showing that a value of 2 was the lowest with an
only slight drop of dom0 network throughput while multiple guests
performed an event storm).
How long eoi processing will be delayed can be specified via another
parameter "event_eoi_delay" (again in jiffies, default 10, again the
value was chosen after testing with different delay values).
This is part of XSA-332.

Patch series "add fault injection to user memory access", v3.
The goal of this series is to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages
of user memory access functions, by adding support for fault injection.
syzkaller/syzbot are using the existing fault injection modes and will use
this particular feature also.
The first patch adds failure injection capability for usercopy functions.
The second changes usercopy functions to use this new failure capability
(copy_from_user, ...). The third patch adds get/put/clear_user failures
to x86.
This patch (of 3):
Add a failure injection capability to improve testing of fault-tolerance
in usages of user memory access functions.
Add CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_USERCOPY to enable faults in usercopy
functions. The should_fail_usercopy function is to be called by these
functions (copy_from_user, get_user, ...) in order to fail or not.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
- Add redirect_neigh() BPF packet redirect helper, allowing to limit
stack traversal in common container configs and improving TCP
back-pressure.
Daniel reports ~10Gbps => ~15Gbps single stream TCP performance gain.
- Expand netlink policy support and improve policy export to user
space. (Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to
declared policies. Expand the expressiveness of those policies
(min/max length and bitmasks). Allow dumping policies for particular
commands. This is used for feature discovery by user space (instead
of kernel version parsing or trial and error).
- Support IGMPv3/MLDv2 multicast listener discovery protocols in
bridge.
- Allow more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces.
- Add support for Type of Service (ToS) reflection in SYN/SYN-ACK
packets of TCPv6.
- In Multi-patch TCP (MPTCP) support concurrent transmission of data on
multiple subflows in a load balancing scenario. Enhance advertising
addresses via the RM_ADDR/ADD_ADDR options.
- Support SMC-Dv2 version of SMC, which enables multi-subnet
deployments.
- Allow more calls to same peer in RxRPC.
- Support two new Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols - CAN-FD and
ISO 15765-2:2016.
- Add xfrm/IPsec compat layer, solving the 32bit user space on 64bit
kernel problem.
- Add TC actions for implementing MPLS L2 VPNs.
- Improve nexthop code - e.g. handle various corner cases when nexthop
objects are removed from groups better, skip unnecessary
notifications and make it easier to offload nexthops into HW by
converting to a blocking notifier.
- Support adding and consuming TCP header options by BPF programs,
opening the doors for easy experimental and deployment-specific TCP
option use.
- Reorganize TCP congestion control (CC) initialization to simplify
life of TCP CC implemented in BPF.
- Add support for shipping BPF programs with the kernel and loading
them early on boot via the User Mode Driver mechanism, hence reusing
all the user space infra we have.
- Support sleepable BPF programs, initially targeting LSM and tracing.
- Add bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct
path'.
- Make bpf_tail_call compatible with bpf-to-bpf calls.
- Allow BPF programs to call map_update_elem on sockmaps.
- Add BPF Type Format (BTF) support for type and enum discovery, as
well as support for using BTF within the kernel itself (current use
is for pretty printing structures).
- Support listing and getting information about bpf_links via the bpf
syscall.
- Enhance kernel interfaces around NIC firmware update. Allow
specifying overwrite mask to control if settings etc. are reset
during update; report expected max time operation may take to users;
support firmware activation without machine reboot incl. limits of
how much impact reset may have (e.g. dropping link or not).
- Extend ethtool configuration interface to report IEEE-standard
counters, to limit the need for per-vendor logic in user space.
- Adopt or extend devlink use for debug, monitoring, fw update in many
drivers (dsa loop, ice, ionic, sja1105, qed, mlxsw, mv88e6xxx,
dpaa2-eth).
- In mlxsw expose critical and emergency SFP module temperature alarms.
Refactor port buffer handling to make the defaults more suitable and
support setting these values explicitly via the DCBNL interface.
- Add XDP support for Intel's igb driver.
- Support offloading TC flower classification and filtering rules to
mscc_ocelot switches.
- Add PTP support for Marvell Octeontx2 and PP2.2 hardware, as well as
fixed interval period pulse generator and one-step timestamping in
dpaa-eth.
- Add support for various auth offloads in WiFi APs, e.g. SAE (WPA3)
offload.
- Add Lynx PHY/PCS MDIO module, and convert various drivers which have
this HW to use it. Convert mvpp2 to split PCS.
- Support Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 24-port switch ASICs, as well as
7-port Mediatek MT7531 IP.
- Add initial support for QCA6390 and IPQ6018 in ath11k WiFi driver,
and wcn3680 support in wcn36xx.
- Improve performance for packets which don't require much offloads on
recent Mellanox NICs by 20% by making multiple packets share a
descriptor entry.
- Move chelsio inline crypto drivers (for TLS and IPsec) from the
crypto subtree to drivers/net. Move MDIO drivers out of the phy
directory.
- Clean up a lot of W=1 warnings, reportedly the actively developed
subsections of networking drivers should now build W=1 warning free.
- Make sure drivers don't use in_interrupt() to dynamically adapt their
code. Convert tasklets to use new tasklet_setup API (sadly this
conversion is not yet complete).

The command-line parameters "dyndbg" and "async_probe" are not
parameters for kernel/module.c but instead they are for the
module that is being loaded. Try to make that distinction in the
help text.
OTOH, "module.sig_enforce" is handled as a parameter of kernel/module.c
so "module." is correct for it.

Commit
0c2a3913d6f5 ("x86/fpu: Parse clearcpuid= as early XSAVE argument")
changed clearcpuid parsing from __setup() to cmdline_find_option().
While the __setup() function would have been called for each clearcpuid=
parameter on the command line, cmdline_find_option() will only return
the last one, so the change effectively made it impossible to disable
more than one bit.
Allow a comma-separated list of bit numbers as the argument for
clearcpuid to allow multiple bits to be disabled again. Log the bits
being disabled for informational purposes.
Also fix the check on the return value of cmdline_find_option(). It
returns -1 when the option is not found, so testing as a boolean is
incorrect.

Right now, drivers like ARM SMMU are using dma_alloc_coherent() to get
coherent DMA buffers to save their command queues and page tables. As
there is only one default CMA in the whole system, SMMUs on nodes other
than node0 will get remote memory. This leads to significant latency.
This patch provides per-numa CMA so that drivers like SMMU can get local
memory. Tests show localizing CMA can decrease dma_unmap latency much.
For instance, before this patch, SMMU on node2 has to wait for more than
560ns for the completion of CMD_SYNC in an empty command queue; with this
patch, it needs 240ns only.
A positive side effect of this patch would be improving performance even
further for those users who are worried about performance more than DMA
security and use iommu.passthrough=1 to skip IOMMU. With local CMA, all
drivers can get local coherent DMA buffers.
Also, this patch changes the default CONFIG_CMA_AREAS to 19 in NUMA. As

The sysctl that was added earlier by commit 79134e6ce2c ("net: do
not create fallback tunnels for non-default namespaces") to create
fall-back only in root-ns. This patch enhances that behavior to provide
option not to create fallback tunnels in root-ns as well. Since modules
that create fallback tunnels could be built-in and setting the sysctl
value after booting is pointless, so added a kernel cmdline options to
change this default. The default setting is preseved for backward
compatibility. The kernel command line option of fb_tunnels=initns will
set the sysctl value to 1 and will create fallback tunnels only in initns
while kernel cmdline fb_tunnels=none will set the sysctl value to 2 and
fallback tunnels are skipped in every netns.

This commit adds an rcutorture.leakpointer module parameter that
intentionally leaks an RCU-protected pointer out of the RCU read-side
critical section and checks to see if the corresponding grace period
has elapsed, emitting a WARN_ON_ONCE() if so. This module parameter can
be used to test facilities like CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD that end
grace periods quickly.
While in the area, also document rcutorture.irqreader, which was
previously left out.

The goal of this series is to increase the probability of tools like
KASAN detecting that an RCU-protected pointer was used outside of its
RCU read-side critical section. Thus far, the approach has been to make
grace periods and callback processing happen faster. Another approach
is to delay the pointer leaker. This commit therefore allows a delay
to be applied to exit from RCU read-side critical sections.
This slowdown is specified by a new rcutree.rcu_unlock_delay kernel boot
parameter that specifies this delay in microseconds, defaulting to zero.

This commit further avoids conflation of rcuperf with the kernel's perf
feature by renaming kernel/rcu/rcuperf.c to kernel/rcu/rcuscale.c, and
also by similarly renaming the functions and variables inside this file.
This has the side effect of changing the names of the kernel boot
parameters, so kernel-parameters.txt and ver_functions.sh are also
updated. The rcutorture --torture type was also updated from rcuperf
to rcuscale.

Currently, the nmi_cpu_backtrace() declines to produce backtraces for
idle CPUs. This is a good choice in the common case in which problems are
caused only by non-idle CPUs. However, there are occasionally situations
in which idle CPUs are helping to cause problems. This commit therefore
adds an nmi_backtrace.backtrace_idle kernel boot parameter that causes
nmi_cpu_backtrace() to dump stacks even of idle CPUs.

Patch series "slub_debug fixes and improvements".
The slub_debug kernel boot parameter can either apply a single set of
options to all caches or a list of caches. There is a use case where
debugging is applied for all caches and then disabled at runtime for
specific caches, for performance and memory consumption reasons [1]. As
runtime changes are dangerous, extend the boot parameter syntax so that
multiple blocks of either global or slab-specific options can be
specified, with blocks delimited by ';'. This will also support the use
case of [1] without runtime changes.
For details see the updated Documentation/vm/slub.rst

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
- Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks.
- Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
Power9 or later.
- Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.
- A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
architectures.
- Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.
- Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.
- A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.
- Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
usual.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the "big" set of changes to the driver core, and some drivers
using the changes, for 5.9-rc1.
"Biggest" thing in here is the device link exposure in sysfs, to help
to tame the madness that is SoC device tree representations and driver
interactions with it.
Other stuff in here that is interesting is:
- device probe log helper so that drivers can report problems in a
unified way easier.
- devres functions added
- DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_* macro added to make it harder to write
incorrect sysfs file permissions
- documentation cleanups
- ability for debugfs to be present in the kernel, yet not exposed to
userspace. Needed for systems that want it enabled, but do not
trust users, so they can still use some kernel functions that were
otherwise disabled.
- other minor fixes and cleanups

Pull x86 fsgsbase from Thomas Gleixner:
"Support for FSGSBASE. Almost 5 years after the first RFC to support
it, this has been brought into a shape which is maintainable and
actually works.
This final version was done by Sasha Levin who took it up after Intel
dropped the ball. Sasha discovered that the SGX (sic!) offerings out
there ship rogue kernel modules enabling FSGSBASE behind the kernels
back which opens an instantanious unpriviledged root hole.
The FSGSBASE instructions provide a considerable speedup of the
context switch path and enable user space to write GSBASE without
kernel interaction. This enablement requires careful handling of the
exception entries which go through the paranoid entry path as they
can no longer rely on the assumption that user GSBASE is positive (as
enforced via prctl() on non FSGSBASE enabled systemn).
All other entries (syscalls, interrupts and exceptions) can still just
utilize SWAPGS unconditionally when the entry comes from user space.
Converting these entries to use FSGSBASE has no benefit as SWAPGS is
only marginally slower than WRGSBASE and locating and retrieving the
kernel GSBASE value is not a free operation either. The real benefit
of RD/WRGSBASE is the avoidance of the MSR reads and writes.
The changes come with appropriate selftests and have held up in field
testing against the (sanitized) Graphene-SGX driver"

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The most significant change here is the extension of the Energy Model
to cover non-CPU devices (as well as CPUs) from Lukasz Luba.
There is also some new hardware support (Ice Lake server idle states
table for intel_idle, Sapphire Rapids and Power Limit 4 support in the
RAPL driver), some new functionality in the existing drivers (eg. a
new switch to disable/enable CPU energy-efficiency optimizations in
intel_pstate, delayed timers in devfreq), some assorted fixes (cpufreq
core, intel_pstate, intel_idle) and cleanups (eg. cpuidle-psci,
devfreq), including the elimination of W=1 build warnings from cpufreq
done by Lee Jones.
Specifics:
- Make the Energy Model cover non-CPU devices (Lukasz Luba).
- Add Ice Lake server idle states table to the intel_idle driver and
eliminate a redundant static variable from it (Chen Yu, Rafael
Wysocki).
- Eliminate all W=1 build warnings from cpufreq (Lee Jones).
- Add support for Sapphire Rapids and for Power Limit 4 to the Intel
RAPL power capping driver (Sumeet Pawnikar, Zhang Rui).
- Fix function name in kerneldoc comments in the idle_inject power
capping driver (Yangtao Li).
- Fix locking issues with cpufreq governors and drop a redundant
"weak" function definition from cpufreq (Viresh Kumar).
- Rearrange cpufreq to register non-modular governors at the
core_initcall level and allow the default cpufreq governor to be
specified in the kernel command line (Quentin Perret).
- Extend, fix and clean up the intel_pstate driver (Srinivas
Pandruvada, Rafael Wysocki):
* Add a new sysfs attribute for disabling/enabling CPU
energy-efficiency optimizations in the processor.
* Make the driver avoid enabling HWP if EPP is not supported.
* Allow the driver to handle numeric EPP values in the sysfs
interface and fix the setting of EPP via sysfs in the active
mode.
* Eliminate a static checker warning and clean up a kerneldoc
comment.
- Clean up some variable declarations in the powernv cpufreq driver
(Wei Yongjun).
- Fix up the ->enter_s2idle callback definition to cover the case
when it points to the same function as ->idle correctly (Neal Liu).
- Rearrange and clean up the PSCI cpuidle driver (Ulf Hansson).
- Make the PM core emit "changed" uevent when adding/removing the
"wakeup" sysfs attribute of devices (Abhishek Pandit-Subedi).
- Add a helper macro for declaring PM callbacks and use it in the MMC
jz4740 driver (Paul Cercueil).
- Fix white space in some places in the hibernate code and make the
system-wide PM code use "const char *" where appropriate (Xiang
Chen, Alexey Dobriyan).
- Add one more "unsafe" helper macro to the freezer to cover the NFS
use case (He Zhe).
- Change the language in the generic PM domains framework to use
parent/child terminology and clean up a typo and some comment
fromatting in that code (Kees Cook, Geert Uytterhoeven).
- Update the operating performance points OPP framework (Lukasz Luba,
Andrew-sh.Cheng, Valdis Kletnieks):
* Refactor dev_pm_opp_of_register_em() and update related drivers.
* Add a missing function export.
* Allow disabled OPPs in dev_pm_opp_get_freq().
- Update devfreq core and drivers (Chanwoo Choi, Lukasz Luba, Enric
Balletbo i Serra, Dmitry Osipenko, Kieran Bingham, Marc Zyngier):
* Add support for delayed timers to the devfreq core and make the
Samsung exynos5422-dmc driver use it.
* Unify sysfs interface to use "df-" as a prefix in instance
names consistently.
* Fix devfreq_summary debugfs node indentation.
* Add the rockchip,pmu phandle to the rk3399_dmc driver DT
bindings.
* List Dmitry Osipenko as the Tegra devfreq driver maintainer.
* Fix typos in the core devfreq code.
- Update the pm-graph utility to version 5.7 including a number of
fixes related to suspend-to-idle (Todd Brandt).
- Fix coccicheck errors and warnings in the cpupower utility (Shuah
Khan).
- Replace HTTP links with HTTPs ones in multiple places (Alexander A.
Klimov)"

Disabling GTSE implies kernel will make hcalls to invalidate TLB entries.
This was done so that we can do VM migration between configs that enable/disable
GTSE support via hypervisor. To migrate a VM from a system that supports
GTSE to a system that doesn't, we can boot the guest with
radix_hcall_invalidate=on, thereby forcing the guest to use hcalls for TLB
invalidates.
The check for hcall availability is done in pSeries_setup_arch so that
the panic message appears on the console. This should only happen on
a hypervisor that doesn't force the guest to hash translation even
though it can't handle the radix GTSE=0 request via CAS. With
radix_hcall_invalidate=on if the hypervisor doesn't support hcall_rpt_invalidate
hcall it should force the LPAR to hash translation.

Since debugfs include sensitive information it need to be treated
carefully. But it also has many very useful debug functions for userspace.
With this option we can have same configuration for system with
need of debugfs and a way to turn it off. This gives a extra protection
for exposure on systems where user-space services with system
access are attacked.
It is controlled by a configurable default value that can be override
with a kernel command line parameter. (debugfs=)
It can be on or off, but also internally on but not seen from user-space.
This no-mount mode do not register a debugfs as filesystem, but client can
register their parts in the internal structures. This data can be readed
with a debugger or saved with a crashkernel. When it is off clients
get EPERM error when accessing the functions for registering their
components.

Map "xen_nopvspin" to "nopvspin", fix stale description of "xen_nopvspin"
as we use qspinlock now.

There are cases where a guest tries to switch spinlocks to bare metal
behavior (e.g. by setting "xen_nopvspin" on XEN platform and
"hv_nopvspin" on HYPER_V).
That feature is missed on KVM, add a new parameter "nopvspin" to disable
PV spinlocks for KVM guest.
The new 'nopvspin' parameter will also replace Xen and Hyper-V specific
parameters in future patches.
Define variable nopvsin as global because it will be used in future
patches as above.

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.
Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
If not .svg:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Currently, the only way to specify the default CPUfreq governor is
via Kconfig options, which suits users who can build the kernel
themselves perfectly.
However, for those who use a distro-like kernel (such as Android,
with the Generic Kernel Image project), the only way to use a
non-default governor is to boot to userspace, and to then switch
using the sysfs interface. Being able to specify the default governor
on the command line, like is the case for cpuidle, would allow those
users to specify their governor of choice earlier on, and to simplify
the userspace boot procedure slighlty.
To support this use-case, add a kernel command line parameter
allowing the default governor for CPUfreq to be specified, which
takes precedence over the built-in default.
This implementation has one notable limitation: the default governor
must be registered before the driver. This is solved for builtin
governors and drivers using appropriate *_initcall() functions. And
in the modular case, this must be reflected as a constraint on the
module loading order.
