commit cff9ab2b291e64259d97add48fe073c081afe4e2 upstream.

The array has a size of MAX_LOCAL_APIC, which can be as large as 32k, so it
can consume up to 128k.

The array has been there forever and was never used for anything useful
other than a version mismatch check which was introduced in 2009.

There is no reason to store the version in an array. The kernel is not
prepared to handle different APIC versions anyway, so the real important
part is to detect a version mismatch and warn about it, which can be done
with a single variable as well.

<title>x86/pkeys: Make protection keys an "eager" feature</title>

commit d4b05923f579c234137317cdf9a5eb69ddab76d1 upstream.

Our XSAVE features are divided into two categories: those that
generate FPU exceptions, and those that do not.  MPX and pkeys do
not generate FPU exceptions and thus can not be used lazily.  We
disable them when lazy mode is forced on.

We have a pair of masks to collect these two sets of features, but
XFEATURE_MASK_PKRU was added to the wrong mask: XFEATURE_MASK_LAZY.
Fix it by moving the feature to XFEATURE_MASK_EAGER.

Note: this only causes problem if you boot with lazy FPU mode
(eagerfpu=off) which is *not* the default.  It also only affects
hardware which is not currently publicly available.  It looks like
eager mode is going away, but we still need this patch applied
to any kernel that has protection keys and lazy mode, which is 4.6
through 4.8 at this point, and 4.9 if the lazy removal isn't sent
to Linus for 4.9.

get_user_ex(x, ptr) should zero x on failure.  It's not a lot of a leak
(at most we are leaking uninitialized 64bit value off the kernel stack,
and in a fairly constrained situation, at that), but the fix is trivial,
so...

<title>x86/mm: Disable preemption during CR3 read+write</title>

commit 5cf0791da5c162ebc14b01eb01631cfa7ed4fa6e upstream.

There's a subtle preemption race on UP kernels:

Usually current-&gt;mm (and therefore mm-&gt;pgd) stays the same during the
lifetime of a task so it does not matter if a task gets preempted during
the read and write of the CR3.

But then, there is this scenario on x86-UP:

TaskA is in do_exit() and exit_mm() sets current-&gt;mm = NULL followed by:

 -&gt; mmput()
 -&gt; exit_mmap()
 -&gt; tlb_finish_mmu()
 -&gt; tlb_flush_mmu()
 -&gt; tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly()
 -&gt; tlb_flush()
 -&gt; flush_tlb_mm_range()
 -&gt; __flush_tlb_up()
 -&gt; __flush_tlb()
 -&gt;  __native_flush_tlb()

At this point current-&gt;mm is NULL but current-&gt;active_mm still points to
the "old" mm.

Let's preempt taskA _after_ native_read_cr3() by taskB. TaskB has its
own mm so CR3 has changed.

Now preempt back to taskA. TaskA has no -&gt;mm set so it borrows taskB's
mm and so CR3 remains unchanged. Once taskA gets active it continues
where it was interrupted and that means it writes its old CR3 value
back. Everything is fine because userland won't need its memory
anymore.

Now the fun part:

Let's preempt taskA one more time and get back to taskB. This
time switch_mm() won't do a thing because oldmm (-&gt;active_mm)
is the same as mm (as per context_switch()). So we remain
with a bad CR3 / PGD and return to userland.

The next thing that happens is handle_mm_fault() with an address for
the execution of its code in userland. handle_mm_fault() realizes that
it has a PTE with proper rights so it returns doing nothing. But the
CPU looks at the wrong PGD and insists that something is wrong and
faults again. And again. And one more time…

This pagefault circle continues until the scheduler gets tired of it and
puts another task on the CPU. It gets little difficult if the task is a
RT task with a high priority. The system will either freeze or it gets
fixed by the software watchdog thread which usually runs at RT-max prio.
But waiting for the watchdog will increase the latency of the RT task
which is no good.

Fix this by disabling preemption across the critical code section.

<title>x86/microcode: Fix suspend to RAM with builtin microcode</title>

commit 4b703305d98bf7350d4b2953ee39a3aa2eeb1778 upstream.

Usually, after we have found the proper microcode blob for the current
machine, we stash it away for later use with save_microcode_in_initrd().

However, with builtin microcode which doesn't come from the initrd, we
don't call that function because CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=n and even if
set, we don't have a valid initrd.

In order to fix this, let's make save_microcode_in_initrd() an
fs_initcall which runs before rootfs_initcall() as this was the time it
was called previously through:

 rootfs_initcall(populate_rootfs)
 |-&gt; free_initrd()
     |-&gt; free_initrd_mem()
         |-&gt; save_microcode_in_initrd()

Also, we make it run independently from initrd functionality being
present or not.

And since it is called in the microcode loader only now, we can also
make it static.

Also, we make it run independently from initrd functionality being
present or not.

And since it is called in the microcode loader only now, we can also
make it static.

<title>x86/cpu: Fix duplicated X86_BUG(9) macro</title>

cpufeatures.h currently defines X86_BUG(9) twice on 32-bit:

	#define X86_BUG_NULL_SEG        X86_BUG(9) /* Nulling a selector preserves the base */
	...
	#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32
	#define X86_BUG_ESPFIX          X86_BUG(9) /* "" IRET to 16-bit SS corrupts ESP/RSP high bits */
	#endif

I think what happened was that this added the X86_BUG_ESPFIX, but
in an #ifdef below most of the bugs:

	58a5aac53313 x86/entry/32: Introduce and use X86_BUG_ESPFIX instead of paravirt_enabled

Then this came along and added X86_BUG_NULL_SEG, but collided
with the earlier one that did the bug below the main block
defining all the X86_BUG()s.

<title>pvclock: Cleanup to remove function pvclock_get_nsec_offset</title>

Function __pvclock_read_cycles is short enough, so there is no need to
have another function pvclock_get_nsec_offset to calculate tsc delta.
It's better to combine it into function __pvclock_read_cycles.

Remove useless variables in function __pvclock_read_cycles.

<title>pvclock: Add CPU barriers to get correct version value</title>

Protocol for the "version" fields is: hypervisor raises it (making it
uneven) before it starts updating the fields and raises it again (making
it even) when it is done.  Thus the guest can make sure the time values
it got are consistent by checking the version before and after reading
them.

Add CPU barries after getting version value just like what function
vread_pvclock does, because all of callees in this function is inline.
