Pull STIBP fallout fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The performance destruction department finally got it's act together
  and came up with a cure for the STIPB regression:

   - Provide a command line option to control the spectre v2 user space
     mitigations. Default is either seccomp or prctl (if seccomp is
     disabled in Kconfig). prctl allows mitigation opt-in, seccomp
     enables the migitation for sandboxed processes.

   - Rework the code to handle the conditional STIBP/IBPB control and
     remove the now unused ptrace_may_access_sched() optimization
     attempt

   - Disable STIBP automatically when SMT is disabled

   - Optimize the switch_to() logic to avoid MSR writes and invocations
     of __switch_to_xtra().

   - Make the asynchronous speculation TIF updates synchronous to
     prevent stale mitigation state.

  As a general cleanup this also makes retpoline directly depend on
  compiler support and removes the 'minimal retpoline' option which just
  pretended to provide some form of security while providing none"

<title>bpf: Support sk lookup in netns with id 0</title>

<content type='text'>
David Ahern and Nicolas Dichtel report that the handling of the netns id
0 is incorrect for the BPF socket lookup helpers: rather than finding
the netns with id 0, it is resolving to the current netns. This renders
the netns_id 0 inaccessible.

To fix this, adjust the API for the netns to treat all negative s32
values as a lookup in the current netns (including u64 values which when
truncated to s32 become negative), while any values with a positive
value in the signed 32-bit integer space would result in a lookup for a
socket in the netns corresponding to that id. As before, if the netns
with that ID does not exist, no socket will be found. Any netns outside
of these ranges will fail to find a corresponding socket, as those
values are reserved for future usage.

<title>bpf: fix pointer offsets in context for 32 bit</title>
<updated>2018-12-01T01:04:35+00:00</updated>

<name>Daniel Borkmann</name>

<published>2018-12-01T00:18:53+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=b7df9ada9a7700dbcca1ba53d217c01e3d48179c'/>
<id>b7df9ada9a7700dbcca1ba53d217c01e3d48179c</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, pointer offsets in three BPF context structures are
broken in two scenarios: i) 32 bit compiled applications running
on 64 bit kernels, and ii) LLVM compiled BPF programs running
on 32 bit kernels. The latter is due to BPF target machine being
strictly 64 bit. So in each of the cases the offsets will mismatch
in verifier when checking / rewriting context access. Fix this by
providing a helper macro __bpf_md_ptr() that will enforce padding
up to 64 bit and proper alignment, and for context access a macro
bpf_ctx_range_ptr() which will cover full 64 bit member range on

Currently, pointer offsets in three BPF context structures are
broken in two scenarios: i) 32 bit compiled applications running
on 64 bit kernels, and ii) LLVM compiled BPF programs running
on 32 bit kernels. The latter is due to BPF target machine being
strictly 64 bit. So in each of the cases the offsets will mismatch
in verifier when checking / rewriting context access. Fix this by
providing a helper macro __bpf_md_ptr() that will enforce padding
up to 64 bit and proper alignment, and for context access a macro
bpf_ctx_range_ptr() which will cover full 64 bit member range on
32 bit archs. For flow_keys, we additionally need to force the
size check to sizeof(__u64) as with other pointer types.

<content type='text'>
Add the PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH option for the PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL and
PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL prctls to allow fine grained per task control of
indirect branch speculation via STIBP and IBPB.

Invocations:
 Check indirect branch speculation status with
 - prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, 0, 0, 0);

 Enable indirect branch speculation with
 - prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, PR_SPEC_ENABLE, 0, 0);

 Disable indirect branch speculation with
 - prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, PR_SPEC_DISABLE, 0, 0);

 Force disable indirect branch speculation with
 - prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE, 0, 0);

<title>tools/bpftool: copy a few net uapi headers to tools directory</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit f6f3bac08ff9 ("tools/bpf: bpftool: add net support")
added certain networking support to bpftool.
The implementation relies on a relatively recent uapi header file
linux/tc_act/tc_bpf.h on the host which contains the marco
definition of TCA_ACT_BPF_ID.

Unfortunately, this is not the case for all distributions.
See the email message below where rhel-7.2 does not have
an up-to-date linux/tc_act/tc_bpf.h.
  https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1799211.html
Further investigation found that linux/pkt_cls.h is also needed for macro
TCA_BPF_TAG.

This patch fixed the issue by copying linux/tc_act/tc_bpf.h
and linux/pkt_cls.h from kernel include/uapi directory to
tools/include/uapi directory so building the bpftool does not depend
on host system for these files.

<title>perf tools: Don't clone maps from parent when synthesizing forks</title>

When synthesizing FORK events, we are trying to create thread objects
for the already running tasks on the machine.

Normally, for a kernel FORK event, we want to clone the parent's maps
because that is what the kernel just did.

But when synthesizing, this should not be done.  If we do, we end up
with overlapping maps as we process the sythesized MMAP2 events that
get delivered shortly thereafter.

Use the FORK event misc flags in an internal way to signal this
situation, so we can elide the map clone when appropriate.
