<title>x86/fgraph,bpf: Fix stack ORC unwind from kprobe_multi return probe</title>

<id>20a0bc10272fa17a44fc857c31574a8306f60d20</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we don't get stack trace via ORC unwinder on top of fgraph exit
handler. We can see that when generating stacktrace from kretprobe_multi
bpf program which is based on fprobe/fgraph.

The reason is that the ORC unwind code won't get pass the return_to_handler
callback installed by fgraph return probe machinery.

Solving this by creating stack frame in return_to_handler expected by
ftrace_graph_ret_addr function to recover original return address and
continue with the unwind.

Also updating the pt_regs data with cs/flags/rsp which are needed for
successful stack retrieval from ebpf bpf_get_stackid helper.
 - in get_perf_callchain we check user_mode(regs) so CS has to be set
 - in perf_callchain_kernel we call perf_hw_regs(regs), so EFLAGS/FIXED
    has to be unset

<title>x86: uaccess: don't use runtime-const rewriting in modules</title>

<id>284922f4c563aa3a8558a00f2a05722133237fe8</id>
<content type='text'>
The runtime-const infrastructure was never designed to handle the
modular case, because the constant fixup is only done at boot time for
core kernel code.

But by the time I used it for the x86-64 user space limit handling in
commit 86e6b1547b3d ("x86: fix user address masking non-canonical
speculation issue"), I had completely repressed that fact.

And it all happens to work because the only code that currently actually
gets inlined by modules is for the access_ok() limit check, where the
default constant value works even when not fixed up.  Because at least I
had intentionally made it be something that is in the non-canonical
address space region.

But it's technically very wrong, and it does mean that at least in
theory, the use of 'access_ok()' + '__get_user()' can trigger the same
speculation issue with non-canonical addresses that the original commit
was all about.

The pattern is unusual enough that this probably doesn't matter in
practice, but very wrong is still very wrong.  Also, let's fix it before
the nice optimized scoped user accessor helpers that Thomas Gleixner is
working on cause this pseudo-constant to then be more widely used.

This all came up due to an unrelated discussion with Mateusz Guzik about
using the runtime const infrastructure for names_cachep accesses too.
There the modular case was much more obviously broken, and Mateusz noted
it in his 'v2' of the patch series.

That then made me notice how broken 'access_ok()' had been in modules
all along.  Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Fix it by simply not using the runtime-const code in modules, and just
using the USER_PTR_MAX variable value instead.  This is not
performance-critical like the core user accessor functions (get_user()
and friends) are.

Also make sure this doesn't get forgotten the next time somebody wants
to do runtime constant optimizations by having the x86 runtime-const.h
header file error out if included by modules.

There the modular case was much more obviously broken, and Mateusz noted
it in his 'v2' of the patch series.

That then made me notice how broken 'access_ok()' had been in modules
all along.  Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Fix it by simply not using the runtime-const code in modules, and just
using the USER_PTR_MAX variable value instead.  This is not
performance-critical like the core user accessor functions (get_user()
and friends) are.

Also make sure this doesn't get forgotten the next time somebody wants
to do runtime constant optimizations by having the x86 runtime-const.h
header file error out if included by modules.

<title>x86/amd_node: Fix AMD root device caching</title>

<id>0a4b61d9c2e496b5f0a10e29e355a1465c8738bb</id>
<content type='text'>
Recent AMD node rework removed the "search and count" method of caching AMD
root devices. This depended on the value from a Data Fabric register that was
expected to hold the PCI bus of one of the root devices attached to that
fabric.

However, this expectation is incorrect. The register, when read from PCI
config space, returns the bitwise-OR of the buses of all attached root
devices.

This behavior is benign on AMD reference design boards, since the bus numbers
are aligned. This results in a bitwise-OR value matching one of the buses. For
example, 0x00 | 0x40 | 0xA0 | 0xE0 = 0xE0.

This behavior breaks on boards where the bus numbers are not exactly aligned.
For example, 0x00 | 0x07 | 0xE0 | 0x15 = 0x1F.

The examples above are for AMD node 0. The first root device on other nodes
will not be 0x00. The first root device for other nodes will depend on the
total number of root devices, the system topology, and the specific PCI bus
number assignment.

For example, a system with 2 AMD nodes could have this:

  Node 0 : 0x00 0x07 0x0e 0x15
  Node 1 : 0x1c 0x23 0x2a 0x31

The bus numbering style in the reference boards is not a requirement.  The
numbering found in other boards is not incorrect. Therefore, the root device
caching method needs to be adjusted.

Go back to the "search and count" method used before the recent rework.
Search for root devices using PCI class code rather than fixed PCI IDs.

This keeps the goal of the rework (remove dependency on PCI IDs) while being
able to support various board designs.

Merge helper functions to reduce code duplication.

<title>x86/mm: Ensure clear_page() variants always have __kcfi_typeid_ symbols</title>

<content type='text'>
When building with CONFIG_CFI=y and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_FULL=y, there is a series
of errors from the various versions of clear_page() not having __kcfi_typeid_
symbols.

  $ cat kernel/configs/repro.config
  CONFIG_CFI=y
  # CONFIG_LTO_NONE is not set
  CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_FULL=y

  $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 clean defconfig repro.config bzImage
  ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __kcfi_typeid_clear_page_rep
  &gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by ld-temp.o
  &gt;&gt;&gt;               vmlinux.o:(__cfi_clear_page_rep)

  ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __kcfi_typeid_clear_page_orig
  &gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by ld-temp.o
  &gt;&gt;&gt;               vmlinux.o:(__cfi_clear_page_orig)

  ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __kcfi_typeid_clear_page_erms
  &gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by ld-temp.o
  &gt;&gt;&gt;               vmlinux.o:(__cfi_clear_page_erms)

With full LTO, it is possible for LLVM to realize that these functions never
have their address taken (as they are only used within an alternative, which
will make them a direct call) across the whole kernel and either drop or skip
generating their kCFI type identification symbols.

clear_page_{rep,orig,erms}() are defined in clear_page_64.S with
SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START as a result of

  2981557cb040 ("x86,kcfi: Fix EXPORT_SYMBOL vs kCFI"),

as exported functions are free to be called indirectly thus need kCFI type
identifiers.

Use KCFI_REFERENCE with these clear_page() functions to force LLVM to see
these functions as address-taken and generate then keep the kCFI type
identifiers.

<title>KVM: VMX: Inject #UD if guest tries to execute SEAMCALL or TDCALL</title>

<id>9d7dfb95da2cb5c1287df2f3468bcb70d8b31087</id>
<content type='text'>
Add VMX exit handlers for SEAMCALL and TDCALL to inject a #UD if a non-TD
guest attempts to execute SEAMCALL or TDCALL.  Neither SEAMCALL nor TDCALL
is gated by any software enablement other than VMXON, and so will generate
a VM-Exit instead of e.g. a native #UD when executed from the guest kernel.

Note!  No unprivileged DoS of the L1 kernel is possible as TDCALL and
SEAMCALL #GP at CPL &gt; 0, and the CPL check is performed prior to the VMX
non-root (VM-Exit) check, i.e. userspace can't crash the VM. And for a
nested guest, KVM forwards unknown exits to L1, i.e. an L2 kernel can
crash itself, but not L1.

Note #2!  The Intel® Trust Domain CPU Architectural Extensions spec's
pseudocode shows the CPL &gt; 0 check for SEAMCALL coming _after_ the VM-Exit,
but that appears to be a documentation bug (likely because the CPL &gt; 0
check was incorrectly bundled with other lower-priority #GP checks).
Testing on SPR and EMR shows that the CPL &gt; 0 check is performed before
the VMX non-root check, i.e. SEAMCALL #GPs when executed in usermode.

Note #3!  The aforementioned Trust Domain spec uses confusing pseudocode
that says that SEAMCALL will #UD if executed "inSEAM", but "inSEAM"
specifically means in SEAM Root Mode, i.e. in the TDX-Module.  The long-
form description explicitly states that SEAMCALL generates an exit when
executed in "SEAM VMX non-root operation".  But that's a moot point as the
TDX-Module injects #UD if the guest attempts to execute SEAMCALL, as
documented in the "Unconditionally Blocked Instructions" section of the
TDX-Module base specification.
