commit 5de4db8fcb6d6fc7d9064c22841211790c0ab81b upstream.

We don't need to send firmware data asynchronously, much simpler is just
use synchronous usb_bulk_msg().

[ stable note: this patch was originally developed as cleanup, but it
remove incorrect usage of page_frag_alloc(): alloc more than PAGE_SIZE
and create not ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN dma buffers needed at least for
performance reason. Was tested on 5.0 and 4.20, see
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202673 and
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202241 ]

When kzalloc() fails in push_stack(), free_verifier_state() will free
current verifier state. As push_stack() returns, dst_reg was restored
if ptr_is_dst_reg is false. However, as member of the cur_state,
dst_reg is also freed, and error occurs when dereferencing dst_reg.
Simply fix it by testing ret of push_stack() before restoring dst_reg.

<title>KVM: x86: update %rip after emulating IO</title>

<id>b54f0c4976e7fbf89246e3d298042992e7186c7c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 45def77ebf79e2e8942b89ed79294d97ce914fa0 upstream.

Most (all?) x86 platforms provide a port IO based reset mechanism, e.g.
OUT 92h or CF9h.  Userspace may emulate said mechanism, i.e. reset a
vCPU in response to KVM_EXIT_IO, without explicitly announcing to KVM
that it is doing a reset, e.g. Qemu jams vCPU state and resumes running.

To avoid corruping %rip after such a reset, commit 0967b7bf1c22 ("KVM:
Skip pio instruction when it is emulated, not executed") changed the
behavior of PIO handlers, i.e. today's "fast" PIO handling to skip the
instruction prior to exiting to userspace.  Full emulation doesn't need
such tricks becase re-emulating the instruction will naturally handle
%rip being changed to point at the reset vector.

Updating %rip prior to executing to userspace has several drawbacks:

  - Userspace sees the wrong %rip on the exit, e.g. if PIO emulation
    fails it will likely yell about the wrong address.
  - Single step exits to userspace for are effectively dropped as
    KVM_EXIT_DEBUG is overwritten with KVM_EXIT_IO.
  - Behavior of PIO emulation is different depending on whether it
    goes down the fast path or the slow path.

Rather than skip the PIO instruction before exiting to userspace,
snapshot the linear %rip and cancel PIO completion if the current
value does not match the snapshot.  For a 64-bit vCPU, i.e. the most
common scenario, the snapshot and comparison has negligible overhead
as VMCS.GUEST_RIP will be cached regardless, i.e. there is no extra
VMREAD in this case.

All other alternatives to snapshotting the linear %rip that don't
rely on an explicit reset announcenment suffer from one corner case
or another.  For example, canceling PIO completion on any write to
%rip fails if userspace does a save/restore of %rip, and attempting to
avoid that issue by canceling PIO only if %rip changed then fails if PIO
collides with the reset %rip.  Attempting to zero in on the exact reset
vector won't work for APs, which means adding more hooks such as the
vCPU's MP_STATE, and so on and so forth.

Checking for a linear %rip match technically suffers from corner cases,
e.g. userspace could theoretically rewrite the underlying code page and
expect a different instruction to execute, or the guest hardcodes a PIO
reset at 0xfffffff0, but those are far, far outside of what can be
considered normal operation.

commit 0cf9135b773bf32fba9dd8e6699c1b331ee4b749 upstream.

The CPUID flag ARCH_CAPABILITIES is unconditioinally exposed to host
userspace for all x86 hosts, i.e. KVM advertises ARCH_CAPABILITIES
regardless of hardware support under the pretense that KVM fully
emulates MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES.  Unfortunately, only VMX hosts
handle accesses to MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES (despite KVM_GET_MSRS
also reporting MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES for all hosts).

Move the MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES handling to common x86 code so
that it's emulated on AMD hosts.

KVM's API requires thats ioctls must be issued from the same process
that created the VM.  In other words, userspace can play games with a
VM's file descriptors, e.g. fork(), SCM_RIGHTS, etc..., but only the
creator can do anything useful.  Explicitly reject device ioctls that
are issued by a process other than the VM's creator, and update KVM's
API documentation to extend its requirements to device ioctls.

commit bebd024e4815b1a170fcd21ead9c2222b23ce9e6 upstream.

The SMT disable 'nosmt' command line argument is not working properly when
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled. The teardown of the sibling CPUs which are
required to be brought up due to the MCE issues, cannot work. The CPUs are
then kept in a half dead state.

As the 'nosmt' functionality has become popular due to the speculative
hardware vulnerabilities, the half torn down state is not a proper solution
to the problem.

Enforce CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y when SMP is enabled so the full operation is
possible.

<title>cpu/hotplug: Prevent crash when CPU bringup fails on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n</title>

commit 206b92353c839c0b27a0b9bec24195f93fd6cf7a upstream.

Tianyu reported a crash in a CPU hotplug teardown callback when booting a
kernel which has CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU disabled with the 'nosmt' boot
parameter.

It turns out that the SMP=y CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n case has been broken
forever in case that a bringup callback fails. Unfortunately this issue was
not recognized when the CPU hotplug code was reworked, so the shortcoming
just stayed in place.

When a bringup callback fails, the CPU hotplug code rolls back the
operation and takes the CPU offline.

The 'nosmt' command line argument uses a bringup failure to abort the
bringup of SMT sibling CPUs. This partial bringup is required due to the
MCE misdesign on Intel CPUs.

With CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y the rollback works perfectly fine, but
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n lacks essential mechanisms to exercise the low level
teardown of a CPU including the synchronizations in various facilities like
RCU, NOHZ and others.

As a consequence the teardown callbacks which must be executed on the
outgoing CPU within stop machine with interrupts disabled are executed on
the control CPU in interrupt enabled and preemptible context causing the
kernel to crash and burn. The pre state machine code has a different
failure mode which is more subtle and resulting in a less obvious use after
free crash because the control side frees resources which are still in use
by the undead CPU.

But this is not a x86 only problem. Any architecture which supports the
SMP=y HOTPLUG_CPU=n combination suffers from the same issue. It's just less
likely to be triggered because in 99.99999% of the cases all bringup
callbacks succeed.

The easy solution of making HOTPLUG_CPU mandatory for SMP is not working on
all architectures as the following architectures have either no hotplug
support at all or not all subarchitectures support it:

 alpha, arc, hexagon, openrisc, riscv, sparc (32bit), mips (partial).

Crashing the kernel in such a situation is not an acceptable state
either.

Implement a minimal rollback variant by limiting the teardown to the point
where all regular teardown callbacks have been invoked and leave the CPU in
the 'dead' idle state. This has the following consequences:

 - the CPU is brought down to the point where the stop_machine takedown
   would happen.

 - the CPU stays there forever and is idle

 - The CPU is cleared in the CPU active mask, but not in the CPU online
   mask which is a legit state.

 - Interrupts are not forced away from the CPU

 - All facilities which only look at online mask would still see it, but
   that is the case during normal hotplug/unplug operations as well. It's
   just a (way) longer time frame.

This will expose issues, which haven't been exposed before or only seldom,
because now the normally transient state of being non active but online is
a permanent state. In testing this exposed already an issue vs. work queues
where the vmstat code schedules work on the almost dead CPU which ends up
in an unbound workqueue and triggers 'preemtible context' warnings. This is
not a problem of this change, it merily exposes an already existing issue.
Still this is better than crashing fully without a chance to debug it.

This is mainly thought as workaround for those architectures which do not
support HOTPLUG_CPU. All others should enforce HOTPLUG_CPU for SMP.

<title>watchdog: Respect watchdog cpumask on CPU hotplug</title>

commit 7dd47617114921fdd8c095509e5e7b4373cc44a1 upstream.

The rework of the watchdog core to use cpu_stop_work broke the watchdog
cpumask on CPU hotplug.

The watchdog_enable/disable() functions are now called unconditionally from
the hotplug callback, i.e. even on CPUs which are not in the watchdog
cpumask. As a consequence the watchdog can become unstoppable.

Only invoke them when the plugged CPU is in the watchdog cpumask.

commit 6f845ebec2706841d15831fab3ffffcfd9e676fa upstream.

On pseries, TLB multihit are reported as D-Cache Multihit. This is because
the wrongly populated mc_err_types[] array. Per PAPR, TLB error type is 0x04
and mc_err_types[4] points to "D-Cache" instead of "TLB" string. Fixup the
mc_err_types[] array.

Machine check error type per PAPR:
  0x00 = Uncorrectable Memory Error (UE)
  0x01 = SLB error
  0x02 = ERAT Error
  0x04 = TLB error
  0x05 = D-Cache error
  0x07 = I-Cache error
