<title>x86/acpi: Prevent out of bound access caused by broken ACPI tables</title>

The bus_irq argument of mp_override_legacy_irq() is used as the index into
the isa_irq_to_gsi[] array. The bus_irq argument originates from
ACPI_MADT_TYPE_IO_APIC and ACPI_MADT_TYPE_INTERRUPT items in the ACPI
tables, but is nowhere sanity checked.

That allows broken or malicious ACPI tables to overwrite memory, which
might cause malfunction, panic or arbitrary code execution.

Add a sanity check and emit a warning when that triggers.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The big ticket items here are the rework of suspend-to-idle in order
  to add proper support for power button wakeup from it on recent Dell
  laptops and the rework of interfaces exporting the current CPU
  frequency on x86.

  In addition to that, support for a few new pieces of hardware is
  added, the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure is simplified
  significantly and the wakeup IRQ framework is fixed to unbreak the IRQ
  bus locking infrastructure.

  Also, there are some functional improvements for intel_pstate, tools
  updates and small fixes and cleanups all over.

  Specifics:

   - Rework suspend-to-idle to allow it to take wakeup events signaled
     by the EC into account on ACPI-based platforms in order to properly
     support power button wakeup from suspend-to-idle on recent Dell
     laptops (Rafael Wysocki).

     That includes the core suspend-to-idle code rework, support for the
     Low Power S0 _DSM interface, and support for the ACPI INT0002
     Virtual GPIO device from Hans de Goede (required for USB keyboard
     wakeup from suspend-to-idle to work on some machines).

   - Stop trying to export the current CPU frequency via /proc/cpuinfo
     on x86 as that is inaccurate and confusing (Len Brown).

   - Rework the way in which the current CPU frequency is exported by
     the kernel (over the cpufreq sysfs interface) on x86 systems with
     the APERF and MPERF registers by always using values read from
     these registers, when available, to compute the current frequency
     regardless of which cpufreq driver is in use (Len Brown).

   - Rework the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure to remove the
     questionable and artificial distinction between "devices that can
     wake up the system from sleep states" and "devices that can
     generate wakeup signals in the working state" from it, which allows
     the code to be simplified quite a bit (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix the wakeup IRQ framework by making it use SRCU instead of RCU
     which doesn't allow sleeping in the read-side critical sections,
     but which in turn is expected to be allowed by the IRQ bus locking
     infrastructure (Thomas Gleixner).

   - Modify some computations in the intel_pstate driver to avoid
     rounding errors resulting from them (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Reduce the overhead of the intel_pstate driver in the HWP
     (hardware-managed P-states) mode and when the "performance" P-state
     selection algorithm is in use by making it avoid registering
     scheduler callbacks in those cases (Len Brown).

   - Rework the energy_performance_preference sysfs knob in intel_pstate
     by changing the values that correspond to different symbolic hint
     names used by it (Len Brown).

   - Make it possible to use more than one cpuidle driver at the same
     time on ARM (Daniel Lezcano).

   - Make it possible to prevent the cpuidle menu governor from using
     the 0 state by disabling it via sysfs (Nicholas Piggin).

   - Add support for FFH (Fixed Functional Hardware) MWAIT in ACPI C1 on
     AMD systems (Yazen Ghannam).

   - Make the CPPC cpufreq driver take the lowest nonlinear performance
     information into account (Prashanth Prakash).

   - Add support for hi3660 to the cpufreq-dt driver, fix the imx6q
     driver and clean up the sfi, exynos5440 and intel_pstate drivers
     (Colin Ian King, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Octavian Purdila, Rafael
     Wysocki, Tao Wang).

   - Fix a few minor issues in the generic power domains (genpd)
     framework and clean it up somewhat (Krzysztof Kozlowski, Mikko
     Perttunen, Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix a couple of minor issues in the operating performance points
     (OPP) framework and clean it up somewhat (Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix a CONFIG dependency in the hibernation core and clean it up
     slightly (Balbir Singh, Arvind Yadav, BaoJun Luo).

   - Add rk3228 support to the rockchip-io adaptive voltage scaling
     (AVS) driver (David Wu).

   - Fix an incorrect bit shift operation in the RAPL power capping
     driver (Adam Lessnau).

   - Add support for the EPP field in the HWP (hardware managed
     P-states) control register, HWP.EPP, to the x86_energy_perf_policy
     tool and update msr-index.h with HWP.EPP values (Len Brown).

   - Fix some minor issues in the turbostat tool (Len Brown).

   - Add support for AMD family 0x17 CPUs to the cpupower tool and fix a
     minor issue in it (Sherry Hurwitz).

   - Assorted cleanups, mostly related to the constification of some
     data structures (Arvind Yadav, Joe Perches, Kees Cook, Krzysztof
     Kozlowski)"

<title>objtool, x86: Add several functions and files to the objtool whitelist</title>

In preparation for an objtool rewrite which will have broader checks,
whitelist functions and files which cause problems because they do
unusual things with the stack.

These whitelists serve as a TODO list for which functions and files
don't yet have undwarf unwinder coverage.  Eventually most of the
whitelists can be removed in favor of manual CFI hint annotations or
objtool improvements.

<title>x86/ACPI/cstate: Allow ACPI C1 FFH MWAIT use on AMD systems</title>

<id>5209654a46ee71137ad9b06da99d4ef2794475af</id>
<content type='text'>
AMD systems support the Monitor/Mwait instructions and these can be used
for ACPI C1 in the same way as on Intel systems.

Three things are needed:
 1) This patch.
 2) BIOS that declares a C1 state in _CST to use FFH, with correct values.
 3) CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX is non-zero on the system.

The BIOS on AMD systems have historically not defined a C1 state in _CST,
so the acpi_idle driver uses HALT for ACPI C1.

Currently released systems have CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX as reserved/RAZ. If a
BIOS is released for these systems that requests a C1 state with FFH, the
FFH implementation in Linux will fail since CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX is 0. The
acpi_idle driver will then fallback to using HALT for ACPI C1.

Future systems are expected to have non-zero CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX and BIOS
support for using FFH for ACPI C1.

Allow ffh_cstate_init() to succeed on AMD systems.

Tested on Fam15h and Fam17h systems.

     No change in functionality.

   - enable KASLR by default: it's used by all major distros and it's
     out of the experimental stage as well.

There's a conflict between ongoing level-5 paging support and
the E820 rewrite. Since the E820 rewrite is essentially ready,
merge it into x86/mm to reduce tree conflicts.

<title>x86: Remap GDT tables in the fixmap section</title>
<updated>2017-03-16T08:06:35+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Thomas Garnier</name>
<email>thgarnie@google.com</email>
</author>
<published>2017-03-14T17:05:07+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=69218e47994da614e7af600bf06887750ab6657a'/>
<id>69218e47994da614e7af600bf06887750ab6657a</id>
<content type='text'>
Each processor holds a GDT in its per-cpu structure. The sgdt
instruction gives the base address of the current GDT. This address can
be used to bypass KASLR memory randomization. With another bug, an
attacker could target other per-cpu structures or deduce the base of
the main memory section (PAGE_OFFSET).

This patch relocates the GDT table for each processor inside the
fixmap section. The space is reserved based on number of supported
processors.

For consistency, the remapping is done by default on 32 and 64-bit.

Each processor switches to its remapped GDT at the end of
initialization. For hibernation, the main processor returns with the
original GDT and switches back to the remapping at completion.

This patch was tested on both architectures. Hibernation and KVM were
both tested specially for their usage of the GDT.

Thanks to Boris Ostrovsky &lt;boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com&gt; for testing and
recommending changes for Xen support.
