x86/speculation/mmio: Add sysfs reporting for Processor MMIO Stale Data

2022-06-16T11:00:52+00:00

commit 8d50cdf8b8341770bc6367bce40c0c1bb0e1d5b3 upstream

Add the sysfs reporting file for Processor MMIO Stale Data
vulnerability. It exposes the vulnerability and mitigation state similar
to the existing files for the other hardware vulnerabilities.

ata: libata-transport: fix {dma|pio|xfer}_mode sysfs files

2022-06-14T14:52:41+00:00

commit 72aad489f992871e908ff6d9055b26c6366fb864 upstream.

The {dma|pio}_mode sysfs files are incorrectly documented as having a
list of the supported DMA/PIO transfer modes, while the corresponding
fields of the *struct* ata_device hold the transfer mode IDs, not masks.

To match these docs, the {dma|pio}_mode (and even xfer_mode!) sysfs
files are handled by the ata_bitfield_name_match() macro which leads to
reading such kind of nonsense from them:

$ cat /sys/class/ata_device/dev3.0/pio_mode
XFER_UDMA_7, XFER_UDMA_6, XFER_UDMA_5, XFER_UDMA_4, XFER_MW_DMA_4,
XFER_PIO_6, XFER_PIO_5, XFER_PIO_4, XFER_PIO_3, XFER_PIO_2, XFER_PIO_1,
XFER_PIO_0

Using the correct ata_bitfield_name_search() macro fixes that:

$ cat /sys/class/ata_device/dev3.0/pio_mode
XFER_PIO_4

While fixing the file documentation, somewhat reword the {dma|pio}_mode
file doc and add a note about being mostly useful for PATA devices to
the xfer_mode file doc...

iio: improve IIO_CONCENTRATION channel type description

2020-08-21T09:02:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit df16c33a4028159d1ba8a7061c9fa950b58d1a61 ]

IIO_CONCENTRATION together with INFO_RAW specifier is used for reporting
raw concentrations of pollutants. Raw value should be meaningless
before being properly scaled. Because of that description shouldn't
mention raw value unit whatsoever.

Fix this by rephrasing existing description so it follows conventions
used throughout IIO ABI docs.

x86/speculation: Add Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) mitigation

2020-06-11T07:22:23+00:00

commit 7e5b3c267d256822407a22fdce6afdf9cd13f9fb upstream

SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from the
random number generator (RNG) across cores and threads. New microcode
serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and
RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is
released for reuse.

While it is present on all affected CPU models, the microcode mitigation
is not needed on models that enumerate ARCH_CAPABILITIES[MDS_NO] in the
cases where TSX is not supported or has been disabled with TSX_CTRL.

The mitigation is activated by default on affected processors and it
increases latency for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions. Among other
effects this will reduce throughput from /dev/urandom.

* Enable administrator to configure the mitigation off when desired using
  either mitigations=off or srbds=off.

* Export vulnerability status via sysfs

* Rename file-scoped macros to apply for non-whitelist table initializations.

x86/bugs: Add ITLB_MULTIHIT bug infrastructure

2019-11-16T09:29:54+00:00

commit db4d30fbb71b47e4ecb11c4efa5d8aad4b03dfae upstream.

Some processors may incur a machine check error possibly resulting in an
unrecoverable CPU lockup when an instruction fetch encounters a TLB
multi-hit in the instruction TLB. This can occur when the page size is
changed along with either the physical address or cache type. The relevant
erratum can be found here:

   https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205195

There are other processors affected for which the erratum does not fully
disclose the impact.

This issue affects both bare-metal x86 page tables and EPT.

It can be mitigated by either eliminating the use of large pages or by
using careful TLB invalidations when changing the page size in the page
tables.

Just like Spectre, Meltdown, L1TF and MDS, a new bit has been allocated in
MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES (PSCHANGE_MC_NO) and will be set on CPUs which
are mitigated against this issue.
