<title>x86, cpu, amd: Add workaround for family 16h, erratum 793</title>

<id>31752e89b1e728d672eaafaa7869e7c0673ae9f6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3b56496865f9f7d9bcb2f93b44c63f274f08e3b6 upstream.

This adds the workaround for erratum 793 as a precaution in case not
every BIOS implements it.  This addresses CVE-2013-6885.

Erratum text:

[Revision Guide for AMD Family 16h Models 00h-0Fh Processors,
document 51810 Rev. 3.04 November 2013]

793 Specific Combination of Writes to Write Combined Memory Types and
Locked Instructions May Cause Core Hang

Description

Under a highly specific and detailed set of internal timing
conditions, a locked instruction may trigger a timing sequence whereby
the write to a write combined memory type is not flushed, causing the
locked instruction to stall indefinitely.

Potential Effect on System

Processor core hang.

Suggested Workaround

BIOS should set MSR
C001_1020[15] = 1b.

Fix Planned

No fix planned

[ hpa: updated description, fixed typo in MSR name ]

Pull KVM changes from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Here are the 3.13 KVM changes.  There was a lot of work on the PPC
  side: the HV and emulation flavors can now coexist in a single kernel
  is probably the most interesting change from a user point of view.

  On the x86 side there are nested virtualization improvements and a few
  bugfixes.

  ARM got transparent huge page support, improved overcommit, and
  support for big endian guests.

  Finally, there is a new interface to connect KVM with VFIO.  This
  helps with devices that use NoSnoop PCI transactions, letting the
  driver in the guest execute WBINVD instructions.  This includes some
  nVidia cards on Windows, that fail to start without these patches and
  the corresponding userspace changes"

Support the next generation Intel Atom processor
mirco-architecture, formerly called Silvermont.

The server version, formerly called "Avoton",
is named the "Intel(R) Atom(TM) Processor C2000 Product Family".

The client version, formerly called "Bay Trail",
is named the "Intel Atom Processor Z3000 Series",
as well as various "Intel Pentium Processor"
and "Intel Celeron Processor" brands, depending
on form-factor.

Silvermont has a set of MSRs not far off from NHM,
but the RAPL register set is a sub-set of those previously supported.

The format used is that of CPUID and we return the corresponding CPUID

mrst is used as common name to represent all intel_mid type
soc's. But moorsetwon is just one of the intel_mid soc. So
renamed them to use intel_mid.

This patch mainly renames the variables and related
functions that uses *mrst* prefix with *intel_mid*.

To ensure that there are no functional changes, I have compared
the objdump of related files before and after rename and found
the only difference is symbol and name changes.

Hyper-V supports a mechanism for retrieving the local APIC frequency.
Use this and bypass the calibration code in the kernel . This would
allow us to boot the Linux kernel as a "modern VM" on Hyper-V where
many of the legacy devices (such as PIT) are not emulated.

I would like to thank Olaf Hering &lt;olaf@aepfle.de&gt;, Jan Beulich &lt;JBeulich@suse.com&gt; and
H. Peter Anvin &lt;h.peter.anvin@intel.com&gt; for their help in this effort.

In this version of the patch, I have addressed Jan's comments.

<content type='text'>
This patch contains the following two changes:
1. Fix the bug in nested preemption timer support. If vmexit L2-&gt;L0
with some reasons not emulated by L1, preemption timer value should
be save in such exits.
2. Add support of "Save VMX-preemption timer value" VM-Exit controls
to nVMX.

With this patch, nested VMX preemption timer features are fully
supported.
