x86/boot: Initialize FPU and X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS even if we don't have CPUID

2016-09-30T11:53:04+00:00

Otherwise arch_task_struct_size == 0 and we die.  While we're at it,
set X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS, too.

x86/smp: Remove stack_smp_processor_id()

It serves no purpose -- raw_smp_processor_id() works fine.  This
change will be needed to move thread_info off the stack.

x86/kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h

2016-07-14T13:06:41+00:00

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.

This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.  Build testing
revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly.

Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is
the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things
like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).

x86/mm/mpx: Work around MPX erratum SKD046

2016-05-20T07:07:40+00:00

This erratum essentially causes the CPU to forget which privilege
level it is operating on (kernel vs. user) for the purposes of MPX.

This erratum can only be triggered when a system is not using
Supervisor Mode Execution Prevention (SMEP).  Our workaround for
the erratum is to ensure that MPX can only be used in cases where
SMEP is present in the processor and is enabled.

This erratum only affects Core processors.  Atom is unaffected.
But, there is no architectural way to determine Atom vs. Core.
So, we just apply this workaround to all processors.  It's
possible that it will mistakenly disable MPX on some Atom
processsors or future unaffected Core processors.  There are
currently no processors that have MPX and not SMEP.  It would
take something akin to a hypervisor masking SMEP out on an Atom
processor for this to present itself on current hardware.

More details can be found at:

  http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/desktop-6th-gen-core-family-spec-update.pdf

"
  SKD046 Branch Instructions May Initialize MPX Bound Registers Incorrectly

  Problem:

  Depending on the current Intel MPX (Memory Protection
  Extensions) configuration, execution of certain branch
  instructions (near CALL, near RET, near JMP, and Jcc
  instructions) without a BND prefix (F2H) initialize the MPX bound
  registers. Due to this erratum, such a branch instruction that is
  executed both with CPL = 3 and with CPL < 3 may not use the
  correct MPX configuration register (BNDCFGU or BNDCFGS,
  respectively) for determining whether to initialize the bound
  registers; it may thus initialize the bound registers when it
  should not, or fail to initialize them when it should.

  Implication:

  A branch instruction that has executed both in user mode and in
  supervisor mode (from the same linear address) may cause a #BR
  (bound range fault) when it should not have or may not cause a
  #BR when it should have.  Workaround An operating system can
  avoid this erratum by setting CR4.SMEP[bit 20] to enable
  supervisor-mode execution prevention (SMEP). When SMEP is
  enabled, no code can be executed both with CPL = 3 and with CPL < 3.

x86/cpufeature, x86/mm/pkeys: Fix broken compile-time disabling of pkeys

2016-05-16T10:59:23+00:00

When I added support for the Memory Protection Keys processor
feature, I had to reindent the REQUIRED/DISABLED_MASK macros, and
also consult the later cpufeature words.

I'm not quite sure how I bungled it, but I consulted the wrong
word at the end.  This only affected required or disabled cpu
features in cpufeature words 14, 15 and 16.  So, only Protection
Keys itself was screwed over here.

The result was that if you disabled pkeys in your .config, you
might still see some code show up that should have been compiled
out.  There should be no functional problems, though.

In verifying this patch I also realized that the DISABLE_PKU/OSPKE
macros were defined backwards and that the cpu_has() check in
setup_pku() was not doing the compile-time disabled checks.

So also fix the macro for DISABLE_PKU/OSPKE and add a compile-time
check for pkeys being enabled in setup_pku().

x86/segments/64: When loadsegment(fs, ...) fails, clear the base

2016-04-29T09:56:41+00:00

On AMD CPUs, a failed loadsegment currently may not clear the FS
base.  Fix it.

While we're at it, prevent loadsegment(gs, xyz) from even compiling
on 64-bit kernels.  It shouldn't be used.
