<id>d0a8d9378d16eb3c69bd8e6d23779fbdbee3a8c7</id>
<content type='text'>
native_save_fl() is marked static inline, but by using it as
a function pointer in arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c, it MUST be outlined.

paravirt's use of native_save_fl() also requires that no GPRs other than
%rax are clobbered.

Compilers have different heuristics which they use to emit stack guard
code, the emittance of which can break paravirt's callee saved assumption
by clobbering %rcx.

Marking a function definition extern inline means that if this version
cannot be inlined, then the out-of-line version will be preferred. By
having the out-of-line version be implemented in assembly, it cannot be
instrumented with a stack protector, which might violate custom calling
conventions that code like paravirt rely on.

The semantics of extern inline has changed since gnu89. This means that
folks using GCC versions &gt;= 5.1 may see symbol redefinition errors at
link time for subdirs that override KBUILD_CFLAGS (making the C standard
used implicit) regardless of this patch. This has been cleaned up
earlier in the patch set, but is left as a note in the commit message
for future travelers.

<content type='text'>
The generic DMA-direct (CONFIG_DMA_DIRECT_OPS=y) implementation is now
functionally equivalent to the x86 nommu dma_map implementation, so
switch over to using it.

That includes switching from using x86_dma_supported in various IOMMU
drivers to use dma_direct_supported instead, which provides the same
functionality.

<title>x86/jailhouse: Allow to use PCI_MMCONFIG without ACPI</title>

Jailhouse does not use ACPI, but it does support MMCONFIG. Make sure the
latter can be built without having to enable ACPI as well. Primarily, its
required to make the AMD mmconf-fam10h_64 depend upon MMCONFIG and
ACPI, instead of just the former.

Saves some bytes in the Jailhouse non-root kernel.

<title>x86/ftrace: Fix ORC unwinding from ftrace handlers</title>
<updated>2018-01-23T18:24:19+00:00</updated>

<id>e2ac83d74a4d753cea88407e65136c84a0cb60b2</id>
<content type='text'>
Steven Rostedt discovered that the ftrace stack tracer is broken when
it's used with the ORC unwinder.  The problem is that objtool is
instructed by the Makefile to ignore the ftrace_64.S code, so it doesn't
generate any ORC data for it.

Fix it by making the asm code objtool-friendly:

- Objtool doesn't like the fact that save_mcount_regs pushes RBP at the
  beginning, but it's never restored (directly, at least).  So just skip
  the original RBP push, which is only needed for frame pointers anyway.

- Annotate some functions as normal callable functions with
  ENTRY/ENDPROC.

- Add an empty unwind hint to return_to_handler().  The return address
  isn't on the stack, so there's nothing ORC can do there.  It will just
  punt in the unlikely case it tries to unwind from that code.

With all that fixed, remove the OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD Makefile
annotation so objtool can read the file.

it's used with the ORC unwinder.  The problem is that objtool is
instructed by the Makefile to ignore the ftrace_64.S code, so it doesn't
generate any ORC data for it.

Fix it by making the asm code objtool-friendly:

- Objtool doesn't like the fact that save_mcount_regs pushes RBP at the
  beginning, but it's never restored (directly, at least).  So just skip
  the original RBP push, which is only needed for frame pointers anyway.

- Annotate some functions as normal callable functions with
  ENTRY/ENDPROC.

- Add an empty unwind hint to return_to_handler().  The return address
  isn't on the stack, so there's nothing ORC can do there.  It will just
  punt in the unlikely case it tries to unwind from that code.

With all that fixed, remove the OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD Makefile
annotation so objtool can read the file.

<title>x86/jailhouse: Add infrastructure for running in non-root cell</title>

The Jailhouse hypervisor is able to statically partition a multicore
system into multiple so-called cells. Linux is used as boot loader and
continues to run in the root cell after Jailhouse is enabled. Linux can
also run in non-root cells.

Jailhouse does not emulate usual x86 devices. It also provides no
complex ACPI but basic platform information that the boot loader
forwards via setup data. This adds the infrastructure to detect when
running in a non-root cell so that the platform can be configured as
required in succeeding steps.

Support is limited to x86-64 so far, primarily because no boot loader
stub exists for i386 and, thus, we wouldn't be able to test the 32-bit
path.

<title>x86/umip: Add emulation code for UMIP instructions</title>

<id>1e5db223696afa55e6a038fac638f759e1fdcc01</id>
<content type='text'>
The feature User-Mode Instruction Prevention present in recent Intel
processor prevents a group of instructions (sgdt, sidt, sldt, smsw, and
str) from being executed with CPL &gt; 0. Otherwise, a general protection
fault is issued.

Rather than relaying to the user space the general protection fault caused
by the UMIP-protected instructions (in the form of a SIGSEGV signal), it
can be trapped and the instruction emulated to provide a dummy result.
This allows to both conserve the current kernel behavior and not reveal the
system resources that UMIP intends to protect (i.e., the locations of the
global descriptor and interrupt descriptor tables, the segment selectors of
the local descriptor table, the value of the task state register and the
contents of the CR0 register).

This emulation is needed because certain applications (e.g., WineHQ and
DOSEMU2) rely on this subset of instructions to function. Given that sldt
and str are not commonly used in programs that run on WineHQ or DOSEMU2,
they are not emulated. Also, emulation is provided only for 32-bit
processes; 64-bit processes that attempt to use the instructions that UMIP
protects will receive the SIGSEGV signal issued as a consequence of the
general protection fault.

The instructions protected by UMIP can be split in two groups. Those which
return a kernel memory address (sgdt and sidt) and those which return a
value (smsw, sldt and str; the last two not emulated).

For the instructions that return a kernel memory address, applications such
as WineHQ rely on the result being located in the kernel memory space, not
the actual location of the table. The result is emulated as a hard-coded
value that lies close to the top of the kernel memory. The limit for the
GDT and the IDT are set to zero.

The instruction smsw is emulated to return the value that the register CR0
has at boot time as set in the head_32.

Care is taken to appropriately emulate the results when segmentation is
used. That is, rather than relying on USER_DS and USER_CS, the function
insn_get_addr_ref() inspects the segment descriptor pointed by the
registers in pt_regs. This ensures that we correctly obtain the segment
base address and the address and operand sizes even if the user space
application uses a local descriptor table.
