Merge L1 Terminal Fault fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "L1TF, aka L1 Terminal Fault, is yet another speculative hardware
  engineering trainwreck. It's a hardware vulnerability which allows
  unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in the
  Level 1 Data Cache when the page table entry controlling the virtual
  address, which is used for the access, has the Present bit cleared or
  other reserved bits set.

  If an instruction accesses a virtual address for which the relevant
  page table entry (PTE) has the Present bit cleared or other reserved
  bits set, then speculative execution ignores the invalid PTE and loads
  the referenced data if it is present in the Level 1 Data Cache, as if
  the page referenced by the address bits in the PTE was still present
  and accessible.

  While this is a purely speculative mechanism and the instruction will
  raise a page fault when it is retired eventually, the pure act of
  loading the data and making it available to other speculative
  instructions opens up the opportunity for side channel attacks to
  unprivileged malicious code, similar to the Meltdown attack.

  While Meltdown breaks the user space to kernel space protection, L1TF
  allows to attack any physical memory address in the system and the
  attack works across all protection domains. It allows an attack of SGX
  and also works from inside virtual machines because the speculation
  bypasses the extended page table (EPT) protection mechanism.

  The assoicated CVEs are: CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646

  The mitigations provided by this pull request include:

   - Host side protection by inverting the upper address bits of a non
     present page table entry so the entry points to uncacheable memory.

   - Hypervisor protection by flushing L1 Data Cache on VMENTER.

   - SMT (HyperThreading) control knobs, which allow to 'turn off' SMT
     by offlining the sibling CPU threads. The knobs are available on
     the kernel command line and at runtime via sysfs

   - Control knobs for the hypervisor mitigation, related to L1D flush
     and SMT control. The knobs are available on the kernel command line
     and at runtime via sysfs

   - Extensive documentation about L1TF including various degrees of
     mitigations.

  Thanks to all people who have contributed to this in various ways -
  patches, review, testing, backporting - and the fruitful, sometimes
  heated, but at the end constructive discussions.

  There is work in progress to provide other forms of mitigations, which
  might be less horrible performance wise for a particular kind of
  workloads, but this is not yet ready for consumption due to their
  complexity and limitations"

<title>x86/jump_label: Initialize static branching early</title>
<updated>2018-07-19T22:02:38+00:00</updated>

<content type='text'>
Static branching is useful to runtime patch branches that are used in hot
path, but are infrequently changed.

The x86 clock framework is one example that uses static branches to setup
the best clock during boot and never changes it again.

It is desired to enable the TSC based sched clock early to allow fine
grained boot time analysis early on. That requires the static branching
functionality to be functional early as well.

Static branching requires patching nop instructions, thus,
arch_init_ideal_nops() must be called prior to jump_label_init().

Do all the necessary steps to call arch_init_ideal_nops() right after
early_cpu_init(), which also allows to insert a call to jump_label_init()
right after that. jump_label_init() will be called again from the generic
init code, but the code is protected against reinitialization already.

<title>x86/CPU/AMD: Move TOPOEXT reenablement before reading smp_num_siblings</title>

<content type='text'>
The TOPOEXT reenablement is a workaround for broken BIOSen which didn't
enable the CPUID bit. amd_get_topology_early(), however, relies on
that bit being set so that it can read out the CPUID leaf and set
smp_num_siblings properly.

Move the reenablement up to early_init_amd(). While at it, simplify
amd_get_topology_early().

To support force disabling of SMT it's required to know the number of
thread siblings early. amd_get_topology() cannot be called before the APIC
driver is selected, so split out the part which initializes

Old code used to check whether CPUID ext max level is &gt;= 0x80000008 because
that last leaf contains the number of cores of the physical CPU.  The three
functions called there now do not depend on that leaf anymore so the check
can go.

Real 32bit AMD CPUs do not have SMT and the only value of the call was to
reach the magic printout which got removed.

Pull x86 boot updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Centaur CPU updates (David Wang)

 - AMD and other CPU topology enumeration improvements and fixes
   (Borislav Petkov, Thomas Gleixner, Suravee Suthikulpanit)

 - Continued 5-level paging work (Kirill A. Shutemov)

* 'x86-boot-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86/mm: Mark __pgtable_l5_enabled __initdata
  x86/mm: Mark p4d_offset() __always_inline
  x86/mm: Introduce the 'no5lvl' kernel parameter
  x86/mm: Stop pretending pgtable_l5_enabled is a variable
  x86/mm: Unify pgtable_l5_enabled usage in early boot code
  x86/boot/compressed/64: Fix trampoline page table address calculation
  x86/CPU: Move x86_cpuinfo::x86_max_cores assignment to detect_num_cpu_cores()
  x86/Centaur: Report correct CPU/cache topology
  x86/CPU: Move cpu_detect_cache_sizes() into init_intel_cacheinfo()
  x86/CPU: Make intel_num_cpu_cores() generic
  x86/CPU: Move cpu local function declarations to local header
  x86/CPU/AMD: Derive CPU topology from CPUID function 0xB when available
  x86/CPU: Modify detect_extended_topology() to return result
  x86/CPU/AMD: Calculate last level cache ID from number of sharing threads
  x86/CPU: Rename intel_cacheinfo.c to cacheinfo.c
  perf/events/amd/uncore: Fix amd_uncore_llc ID to use pre-defined cpu_llc_id
  x86/CPU/AMD: Have smp_num_siblings and cpu_llc_id always be present
  x86/Centaur: Initialize supported CPU features properly
