commit 5b937a1ed64ebeba8876e398110a5790ad77407c upstream.

AMD Cyan Skillfish (Family 17h, Model 47h, Stepping 0h) has an error that
causes RDSEED to always return 0xffffffff, while RDRAND works correctly.

Mask the RDSEED cap for this CPU so that both /proc/cpuinfo and direct CPUID
read report RDSEED as unavailable.

[ Upstream commit ca698ec2f07873a448d53c580795c4e023c75393 ]

Commit:

  159039af8c07 ("x86/insn: x86/insn: Add support for REX2 prefix to the instruction decoder opcode map")

added (!REX2) superscript with a space, but the correct format requires ','
for concatination with other superscript tags.

Add ',' to generate correct insn attribute tables.

I confirmed with following command:

      arch/x86/lib/x86-opcode-map.txt | grep e8 | head -n 1
  [0xe8] = INAT_MAKE_IMM(INAT_IMM_VWORD32) | INAT_FORCE64 | INAT_NO_REX2,

[ Upstream commit 116edfe173d0c59ec2aa87fb91f2f31d477b61b3 ]

Error handling in kcpuid is unreliable.  On malloc() failures, the code
prints an error then just goes on.  The error messages are also printed
to standard output instead of standard error.

Use err() and errx() from &lt;err.h&gt; to direct all error messages to
standard error and automatically exit the program.  Use err() to include
the errno information, and errx() otherwise.  Use warnx() for warnings.

While at it, alphabetically reorder the header includes.

insn_decoder_test found a problem with decoding APX CTEST instructions:

	Found an x86 instruction decoder bug, please report this.
	ffffffff810021df	62 54 94 05 85 ff    	ctestneq
	objdump says 6 bytes, but insn_get_length() says 5

It happens because x86-opcode-map.txt doesn't specify arguments for the
instruction and the decoder doesn't expect to see ModRM byte.

  2df1ad0d25803399 x86/arch_prctl: Simplify sys_arch_prctl()
  e632bca07c8eef1d arm64: generate 64-bit syscall.tbl

This is basically to support the new open_tree_attr syscall.  But it
also needs to update asm-generic unistd.h header to get the new syscall
number.  And arm64 unistd.h header was converted to use the generic
64-bit header.

  c4a16820d9019940 fs: add open_tree_attr()
  2df1ad0d25803399 x86/arch_prctl: Simplify sys_arch_prctl()
  e632bca07c8eef1d arm64: generate 64-bit syscall.tbl

This is basically to support the new open_tree_attr syscall.  But it
also needs to update asm-generic unistd.h header to get the new syscall
number.  And arm64 unistd.h header was converted to use the generic
64-bit header.

 "perf record:

   - Introduce latency profiling using scheduler information.

     The latency profiling is to show impacts on wall-time rather than
     cpu-time. By tracking context switches, it can weight samples and
     find which part of the code contributed more to the execution
     latency.

     The value (period) of the sample is weighted by dividing it by the
     number of parallel execution at the moment. The parallelism is
     tracked in perf report with sched-switch records. This will reduce
     the portion that are run in parallel and in turn increase the
     portion of serial executions.

     For now, it's limited to profile processes, IOW system-wide
     profiling is not supported. You can add --latency option to enable
     this.

       $ perf record --latency -- make -C tools/perf

     I've run the above command for perf build which adds -j option to
     make with the number of CPUs in the system internally. Normally
     it'd show something like below:

       $ perf report -F overhead,comm
       ...
       #
       # Overhead  Command
       # ........  ...............
       #
           78.97%  cc1
            6.54%  python3
            4.21%  shellcheck
            3.28%  ld
            1.80%  as
            1.37%  cc1plus
            0.80%  sh
            0.62%  clang
            0.56%  gcc
            0.44%  perl
            0.39%  make
  	 ...

     The cc1 takes around 80% of the overhead as it's the actual
     compiler. However it runs in parallel so its contribution to
     latency may be less than that. Now, perf report will show both
     overhead and latency (if --latency was given at record time) like
     below:

       $ perf report -s comm
       ...
       #
       # Overhead   Latency  Command
       # ........  ........  ...............
       #
           78.97%    48.66%  cc1
            6.54%    25.68%  python3
            4.21%     0.39%  shellcheck
            3.28%    13.70%  ld
            1.80%     2.56%  as
            1.37%     3.08%  cc1plus
            0.80%     0.98%  sh
            0.62%     0.61%  clang
            0.56%     0.33%  gcc
            0.44%     1.71%  perl
            0.39%     0.83%  make
  	 ...

     You can see latency of cc1 goes down to around 50% and python3 and
     ld contribute a lot more than their overhead. You can use --latency
     option in perf report to get the same result but ordered by
     latency.

       $ perf report --latency -s comm

  perf report:

   - As a side effect of the latency profiling work, it adds a new
     output field 'latency' and a sort key 'parallelism'. The below is a
     result from my system with 64 CPUs. The build was well-parallelized
     but contained some serial portions.

       $ perf report -s parallelism
       ...
       #
       # Overhead   Latency  Parallelism
       # ........  ........  ...........
       #
           16.95%     1.54%           62
           13.38%     1.24%           61
           12.50%    70.47%            1
           11.81%     1.06%           63
            7.59%     0.71%           60
            4.33%    12.20%            2
            3.41%     0.33%           59
            2.05%     0.18%           64
            1.75%     1.09%            9
            1.64%     1.85%            5
            ...

   - Support Feodra mini-debuginfo which is a LZMA compressed symbol
     table inside ".gnu_debugdata" ELF section.

  perf annotate:

   - Add --code-with-type option to enable data-type profiling with the
     usual annotate output.

     Instead of focusing on data structure, it shows code annotation
     together with data type it accesses in case the instruction refers
     to a memory location (and it was able to resolve the target data
     type). Currently it only works with --stdio.

       $ perf annotate --stdio --code-with-type
       ...

  	...

     The "# data-type:" part was added with this change. The first few
     entries are not very interesting. But later you can it accesses a
     couple of fields in the task_struct, files_struct and fdtable.

  perf trace:

   - Support syscall tracing for different ABI. For example it can trace
     system calls for 32-bit applications on 64-bit kernel
     transparently.

   - Add --summary-mode=total option to show global syscall summary. The
     default is 'thread' to show per-thread syscall summary.

  Python support:

   - Add more interfaces to 'perf' module to parse events, and config,
     enable or disable the event list properly so that it can implement
     basic functionalities purely in Python. There is an example code
     for these new interfaces in python/tracepoint.py.

   - Add mypy and pylint support to enable build time checking. Fix some
     code based on the findings from these tools.

  Internals:

   - Introduce io_dir__readdir() API to make directory traveral (usually
     for proc or sysfs) efficient with less memory footprint.

  JSON vendor events:

   - Add events and metrics for ARM Neoverse N3 and V3

   - Update events and metrics on various Intel CPUs

   - Add/update events for a number of SiFive processors"

     option in perf report to get the same result but ordered by
     latency.

       $ perf report --latency -s comm

  perf report:

   - As a side effect of the latency profiling work, it adds a new
     output field 'latency' and a sort key 'parallelism'. The below is a
     result from my system with 64 CPUs. The build was well-parallelized
     but contained some serial portions.

       $ perf report -s parallelism

            ...

   - Support Feodra mini-debuginfo which is a LZMA compressed symbol
     table inside ".gnu_debugdata" ELF section.

  perf annotate:

   - Add --code-with-type option to enable data-type profiling with the
     usual annotate output.

     Instead of focusing on data structure, it shows code annotation
     together with data type it accesses in case the instruction refers
     to a memory location (and it was able to resolve the target data
     type). Currently it only works with --stdio.

       $ perf annotate --stdio --code-with-type

     The "# data-type:" part was added with this change. The first few
     entries are not very interesting. But later you can it accesses a
     couple of fields in the task_struct, files_struct and fdtable.

  perf trace:

   - Support syscall tracing for different ABI. For example it can trace
     system calls for 32-bit applications on 64-bit kernel
     transparently.

   - Add --summary-mode=total option to show global syscall summary. The
     default is 'thread' to show per-thread syscall summary.

  Python support:

   - Add more interfaces to 'perf' module to parse events, and config,
     enable or disable the event list properly so that it can implement
     basic functionalities purely in Python. There is an example code
     for these new interfaces in python/tracepoint.py.

   - Add mypy and pylint support to enable build time checking. Fix some
     code based on the findings from these tools.

  Internals:

   - Introduce io_dir__readdir() API to make directory traveral (usually
     for proc or sysfs) efficient with less memory footprint.

  JSON vendor events:

   - Add events and metrics for ARM Neoverse N3 and V3

   - Update events and metrics on various Intel CPUs

   - Add/update events for a number of SiFive processors"

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Nested virtualization support for VGICv3, giving the nested
     hypervisor control of the VGIC hardware when running an L2 VM

   - Removal of 'late' nested virtualization feature register masking,
     making the supported feature set directly visible to userspace

   - Support for emulating FEAT_PMUv3 on Apple silicon, taking advantage
     of an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED trap that covers all PMUv3 registers

   - Paravirtual interface for discovering the set of CPU
     implementations where a VM may run, addressing a longstanding issue
     of guest CPU errata awareness in big-little systems and
     cross-implementation VM migration

   - Userspace control of the registers responsible for identifying a
     particular CPU implementation (MIDR_EL1, REVIDR_EL1, AIDR_EL1),
     allowing VMs to be migrated cross-implementation

   - pKVM updates, including support for tracking stage-2 page table
     allocations in the protected hypervisor in the 'SecPageTable' stat

   - Fixes to vPMU, ensuring that userspace updates to the vPMU after
     KVM_RUN are reflected into the backing perf events

  LoongArch:

   - Remove unnecessary header include path

   - Assume constant PGD during VM context switch

   - Add perf events support for guest VM

  RISC-V:

   - Disable the kernel perf counter during configure

   - KVM selftests improvements for PMU

   - Fix warning at the time of KVM module removal

  x86:

   - Add support for aging of SPTEs without holding mmu_lock.

     Not taking mmu_lock allows multiple aging actions to run in
     parallel, and more importantly avoids stalling vCPUs. This includes
     an implementation of per-rmap-entry locking; aging the gfn is done
     with only a per-rmap single-bin spinlock taken, whereas locking an
     rmap for write requires taking both the per-rmap spinlock and the
     mmu_lock.

     Note that this decreases slightly the accuracy of accessed-page
     information, because changes to the SPTE outside aging might not
     use atomic operations even if they could race against a clear of
     the Accessed bit.

     This is deliberate because KVM and mm/ tolerate false
     positives/negatives for accessed information, and testing has shown
     that reducing the latency of aging is far more beneficial to
     overall system performance than providing "perfect" young/old
     information.

   - Defer runtime CPUID updates until KVM emulates a CPUID instruction,
     to coalesce updates when multiple pieces of vCPU state are
     changing, e.g. as part of a nested transition

   - Fix a variety of nested emulation bugs, and add VMX support for
     synthesizing nested VM-Exit on interception (instead of injecting
     #UD into L2)

   - Drop "support" for async page faults for protected guests that do
     not set SEND_ALWAYS (i.e. that only want async page faults at CPL3)

   - Bring a bit of sanity to x86's VM teardown code, which has
     accumulated a lot of cruft over the years. Particularly, destroy
     vCPUs before the MMU, despite the latter being a VM-wide operation

   - Add common secure TSC infrastructure for use within SNP and in the
     future TDX

   - Block KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS if guest state is protected. It does not
     make sense to use the capability if the relevant registers are not
     available for reading or writing

   - Don't take kvm-&gt;lock when iterating over vCPUs in the suspend
     notifier to fix a largely theoretical deadlock

   - Use the vCPU's actual Xen PV clock information when starting the
     Xen timer, as the cached state in arch.hv_clock can be stale/bogus

   - Fix a bug where KVM could bleed PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED across
     different PV clocks; restrict PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED to kvmclock, as
     KVM's suspend notifier only accounts for kvmclock, and there's no
     evidence that the flag is actually supported by Xen guests

   - Clean up the per-vCPU "cache" of its reference pvclock, and instead
     only track the vCPU's TSC scaling (multipler+shift) metadata (which
     is moderately expensive to compute, and rarely changes for modern
     setups)

   - Don't write to the Xen hypercall page on MSR writes that are
     initiated by the host (userspace or KVM) to fix a class of bugs
     where KVM can write to guest memory at unexpected times, e.g.
     during vCPU creation if userspace has set the Xen hypercall MSR
     index to collide with an MSR that KVM emulates

   - Restrict the Xen hypercall MSR index to the unofficial synthetic
     range to reduce the set of possible collisions with MSRs that are
     emulated by KVM (collisions can still happen as KVM emulates
     Hyper-V MSRs, which also reside in the synthetic range)

   - Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of Xen MSR writes and
     xen_hvm_config

   - Update Xen TSC leaves during CPUID emulation instead of modifying
     the CPUID entries when updating PV clocks; there is no guarantee PV
     clocks will be updated between TSC frequency changes and CPUID
     emulation, and guest reads of the TSC leaves should be rare, i.e.
     are not a hot path

  x86 (Intel):

   - Fix a bug where KVM unnecessarily reads XFD_ERR from hardware and
     thus modifies the vCPU's XFD_ERR on a #NM due to CR0.TS=1

   - Pass XFD_ERR as the payload when injecting #NM, as a preparatory
     step for upcoming FRED virtualization support

   - Decouple the EPT entry RWX protection bit macros from the EPT
     Violation bits, both as a general cleanup and in anticipation of
     adding support for emulating Mode-Based Execution Control (MBEC)

   - Reject KVM_RUN if userspace manages to gain control and stuff
     invalid guest state while KVM is in the middle of emulating nested
     VM-Enter

   - Add a macro to handle KVM's sanity checks on entry/exit VMCS
     control pairs in anticipation of adding sanity checks for secondary
     exit controls (the primary field is out of bits)

  x86 (AMD):

   - Ensure the PSP driver is initialized when both the PSP and KVM
     modules are built-in (the initcall framework doesn't handle
     dependencies)

   - Use long-term pins when registering encrypted memory regions, so
     that the pages are migrated out of MIGRATE_CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE and
     don't lead to excessive fragmentation

   - Add macros and helpers for setting GHCB return/error codes

   - Add support for Idle HLT interception, which elides interception if
     the vCPU has a pending, unmasked virtual IRQ when HLT is executed

   - Fix a bug in INVPCID emulation where KVM fails to check for a
     non-canonical address

   - Don't attempt VMRUN for SEV-ES+ guests if the vCPU's VMSA is
     invalid, e.g. because the vCPU was "destroyed" via SNP's AP
     Creation hypercall

   - Reject SNP AP Creation if the requested SEV features for the vCPU
     don't match the VM's configured set of features

  Selftests:

   - Fix again the Intel PMU counters test; add a data load and do
     CLFLUSH{OPT} on the data instead of executing code. The theory is
     that modern Intel CPUs have learned new code prefetching tricks
     that bypass the PMU counters

   - Fix a flaw in the Intel PMU counters test where it asserts that an
     event is counting correctly without actually knowing what the event
     counts on the underlying hardware

   - Fix a variety of flaws, bugs, and false failures/passes
     dirty_log_test, and improve its coverage by collecting all dirty
     entries on each iteration

   - Fix a few minor bugs related to handling of stats FDs

   - Add infrastructure to make vCPU and VM stats FDs available to tests
     by default (open the FDs during VM/vCPU creation)

   - Relax an assertion on the number of HLT exits in the xAPIC IPI test
     when running on a CPU that supports AMD's Idle HLT (which elides
     interception of HLT if a virtual IRQ is pending and unmasked)"

     invalid, e.g. because the vCPU was "destroyed" via SNP's AP
     Creation hypercall

   - Reject SNP AP Creation if the requested SEV features for the vCPU
     don't match the VM's configured set of features

  Selftests:

   - Fix again the Intel PMU counters test; add a data load and do
     CLFLUSH{OPT} on the data instead of executing code. The theory is
     that modern Intel CPUs have learned new code prefetching tricks
     that bypass the PMU counters

   - Fix a flaw in the Intel PMU counters test where it asserts that an
     event is counting correctly without actually knowing what the event
     counts on the underlying hardware

   - Fix a variety of flaws, bugs, and false failures/passes
     dirty_log_test, and improve its coverage by collecting all dirty
     entries on each iteration

   - Fix a few minor bugs related to handling of stats FDs

   - Add infrastructure to make vCPU and VM stats FDs available to tests
     by default (open the FDs during VM/vCPU creation)

   - Relax an assertion on the number of HLT exits in the xAPIC IPI test
     when running on a CPU that supports AMD's Idle HLT (which elides
     interception of HLT if a virtual IRQ is pending and unmasked)"
