[ Upstream commit b8000264348979b60dbe479255570a40e1b3a097 ]

The x86 instruction decoder is used not only for decoding kernel
instructions. It is also used by perf uprobes (user space probes) and by
perf tools Intel Processor Trace decoding. Consequently, it needs to
support instructions executed by user space also.

Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions and Future Features manual
number 319433-044 of May 2021, documented VEX versions of instructions
VPDPBUSD, VPDPBUSDS, VPDPWSSD and VPDPWSSDS, but the opcode map has them
listed as EVEX only.

Remove EVEX-only (ev) annotation from instructions VPDPBUSD, VPDPBUSDS,
VPDPWSSD and VPDPWSSDS, which allows them to be decoded with either a VEX
or EVEX prefix.

[ Upstream commit 59162e0c11d7257cde15f907d19fefe26da66692 ]

The x86 instruction decoder is used not only for decoding kernel
instructions. It is also used by perf uprobes (user space probes) and by
perf tools Intel Processor Trace decoding. Consequently, it needs to
support instructions executed by user space also.

Opcode 0x68 PUSH instruction is currently defined as 64-bit operand size
only i.e. (d64). That was based on Intel SDM Opcode Map. However that is
contradicted by the Instruction Set Reference section for PUSH in the
same manual.

Remove 64-bit operand size only annotation from opcode 0x68 PUSH
instruction.

Example:

  $ cat pushw.s
  .global  _start
  .text
  _start:
          pushw   $0x1234
          mov     $0x1,%eax   # system call number (sys_exit)
          int     $0x80
  $ as -o pushw.o pushw.s
  $ ld -s -o pushw pushw.o
  $ objdump -d pushw | tail -4

    401000:       66 68 34 12             pushw  $0x1234

    401009:       cd 80                   int    $0x80

<title>x86/numa: Fix SRAT lookup of CFMWS ranges with numa_fill_memblks()</title>

[ Upstream commit f9f67e5adc8dc2e1cc51ab2d3d6382fa97f074d4 ]

For configurations that have the kconfig option NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO
disabled, numa_fill_memblks() only returns with NUMA_NO_MEMBLK (-1).
SRAT lookup fails then because an existing SRAT memory range cannot be
found for a CFMWS address range. This causes the addition of a
duplicate numa_memblk with a different node id and a subsequent page
fault and kernel crash during boot.

Fix this by making numa_fill_memblks() always available regardless of
NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO.

As Dan suggested, the fix is implemented to remove numa_fill_memblks()
from sparsemem.h and alos using __weak for the function.

Note that the issue was initially introduced with [1]. But since
phys_to_target_node() was originally used that returned the valid node
0, an additional numa_memblk was not added. Though, the node id was
wrong too, a message is seen then in the logs:

 kernel/numa.c:  pr_info_once("Unknown target node for memory at 0x%llx, assuming node 0\n",

<title>x86/purgatory: Switch to the position-independent small code model</title>

[ Upstream commit cba786af84a0f9716204e09f518ce3b7ada8555e ]

On x86, the ordinary, position dependent small and kernel code models
only support placement of the executable in 32-bit addressable memory,
due to the use of 32-bit signed immediates to generate references to
global variables. For the kernel, this implies that all global variables
must reside in the top 2 GiB of the kernel virtual address space, where
the implicit address bits 63:32 are equal to sign bit 31.

This means the kernel code model is not suitable for other bare metal
executables such as the kexec purgatory, which can be placed arbitrarily
in the physical address space, where its address may no longer be
representable as a sign extended 32-bit quantity. For this reason,
commit

  e16c2983fba0 ("x86/purgatory: Change compiler flags from -mcmodel=kernel to -mcmodel=large to fix kexec relocation errors")

switched to the large code model, which uses 64-bit immediates for all
symbol references, including function calls, in order to avoid relying
on any assumptions regarding proximity of symbols in the final
executable.

The large code model is rarely used, clunky and the least likely to
operate in a similar fashion when comparing GCC and Clang, so it is best
avoided. This is especially true now that Clang 18 has started to emit
executable code in two separate sections (.text and .ltext), which
triggers an issue in the kexec loading code at runtime.

The SUSE bugzilla fixes tag points to gcc 13 having issues with the
large model too and that perhaps the large model should simply not be
used at all.

Instead, use the position independent small code model, which makes no
assumptions about placement but only about proximity, where all
referenced symbols must be within -/+ 2 GiB, i.e., in range for a
RIP-relative reference. Use hidden visibility to suppress the use of a
GOT, which carries absolute addresses that are not covered by static ELF
relocations, and is therefore incompatible with the kexec loader's
relocation logic.

[ Upstream commit 5bc8b0f5dac04cd4ebe47f8090a5942f2f2647ef ]

When running as Xen PV guest in some cases W^X violation WARN()s have
been observed. Those WARN()s are produced by verify_rwx(), which looks
into the PTE to verify that writable kernel pages have the NX bit set
in order to avoid code modifications of the kernel by rogue code.

As the NX bits of all levels of translation entries are or-ed and the
RW bits of all levels are and-ed, looking just into the PTE isn't enough
for the decision that a writable page is executable, too.

When running as a Xen PV guest, the direct map PMDs and kernel high
map PMDs share the same set of PTEs. Xen kernel initialization will set
the NX bit in the direct map PMD entries, and not the shared PTEs.

[ Upstream commit ceb647b4b529fdeca9021cd34486f5a170746bda ]

Add lookup_address_in_pgd_attr() doing the same as the already
existing lookup_address_in_pgd(), but returning the effective settings
of the NX and RW bits of all walked page table levels, too.

This will be needed in order to match hardware behavior when looking
for effective access rights, especially for detecting writable code
pages.

In order to avoid code duplication, let lookup_address_in_pgd() call
lookup_address_in_pgd_attr() with dummy parameters.

<title>x86/boot/64: Clear most of CR4 in startup_64(), except PAE, MCE and LA57</title>

[ Upstream commit a0025f587c685e5ff842fb0194036f2ca0b6eaf4 ]

The early 64-bit boot code must be entered with a 1:1 mapping of the
bootable image, but it cannot operate without a 1:1 mapping of all the
assets in memory that it accesses, and therefore, it creates such
mappings for all known assets upfront, and additional ones on demand
when a page fault happens on a memory address.

These mappings are created with the global bit G set, as the flags used
to create page table descriptors are based on __PAGE_KERNEL_LARGE_EXEC
defined by the core kernel, even though the context where these mappings
are used is very different.

This means that the TLB maintenance carried out by the decompressor is
not sufficient if it is entered with CR4.PGE enabled, which has been
observed to happen with the stage0 bootloader of project Oak. While this
is a dubious practice if no global mappings are being used to begin
with, the decompressor is clearly at fault here for creating global
mappings and not performing the appropriate TLB maintenance.

Since commit:

  f97b67a773cd84b ("x86/decompressor: Only call the trampoline when changing paging levels")

CR4 is no longer modified by the decompressor if no change in the number
of paging levels is needed. Before that, CR4 would always be set to a
consistent value with PGE cleared.

So let's reinstate a simplified version of the original logic to put CR4
into a known state, and preserve the PAE, MCE and LA57 bits, none of
which can be modified freely at this point (PAE and LA57 cannot be
changed while running in long mode, and MCE cannot be cleared when
running under some hypervisors).

This effectively clears PGE and works around the project Oak bug.

[ Upstream commit 9e11fc78e2df7a2649764413029441a0c897fb11 ]

Older versions of clang show a warning for amd.c after a fix for a gcc
warning:

  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/amd.c:478:47: error: format specifies type \
    'unsigned char' but the argument has type 'u16' (aka 'unsigned short') [-Werror,-Wformat]
                           "amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam%02hhxh.bin", family);
                                                       ~~~~~~        ^~~~~~
                                                       %02hx

In clang-16 and higher, this warning is disabled by default, but clang-15 is
still supported, and it's trivial to avoid by adapting the types according
to the range of the passed data and the format string.
