 "I kinda knew while typing 'I hope this is the last batch of x86/urgent
  updates' last week, Murphy was reading too and uttered 'Hold my
  beer!'.

  So here's more fixes... Thanks Murphy.

  Anyway, three more x86/urgent fixes for 5.11 final. We should be
  finally ready (famous last words). :-)

   - An SGX use after free fix

   - A fix for the fix to disable CET instrumentation generation for
     kernel code. We forgot 32-bit, which we seem to do very often
     nowadays

   - A Xen PV fix to irqdomain init ordering"

Invoking x86_init.irqs.create_pci_msi_domain() before
x86_init.pci.arch_init() breaks XEN PV.

The XEN_PV specific pci.arch_init() function overrides the default
create_pci_msi_domain() which is obviously too late.

As a consequence the XEN PV PCI/MSI allocation goes through the native
path which runs out of vectors and causes malfunction.

Invoke it after x86_init.pci.arch_init().

  20bf2b378729 ("x86/build: Disable CET instrumentation in the kernel")

disabled CET instrumentation which gets added by default by the Ubuntu
gcc9 and 10 by default, but did that only for 64-bit builds. It would
still fail when building a 32-bit target. So disable CET for all x86
builds.

This has been shown in tests:

[  +0.000008] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 7620 at kernel/rcu/srcutree.c:374 cleanup_srcu_struct+0xed/0x100

This is essentially a use-after free, although SRCU notices it as
an SRCU cleanup in an invalid context.

== Background ==

SGX has a data structure (struct sgx_encl_mm) which keeps per-mm SGX
metadata.  This is separate from struct sgx_encl because, in theory,
an enclave can be mapped from more than one mm.  sgx_encl_mm includes
a pointer back to the sgx_encl.

This means that sgx_encl must have a longer lifetime than all of the
sgx_encl_mm's that point to it.  That's usually the case: sgx_encl_mm
is freed only after the mmu_notifier is unregistered in sgx_release().

However, there's a race.  If the process is exiting,
sgx_mmu_notifier_release() can be called in parallel with sgx_release()
instead of being called *by* it.  The mmu_notifier path keeps encl_mm
alive past when sgx_encl can be freed.  This inverts the lifetime rules
and means that sgx_mmu_notifier_release() can access a freed sgx_encl.

== Fix ==

Increase encl-&gt;refcount when encl_mm-&gt;encl is established. Release
this reference when encl_mm is freed. This ensures that encl outlives
encl_mm.

<title>cpufreq: ACPI: Update arch scale-invariance max perf ratio if CPPC is not there</title>

<id>d11a1d08a082a7dc0ada423d2b2e26e9b6f2525c</id>
<content type='text'>
If the maximum performance level taken for computing the
arch_max_freq_ratio value used in the x86 scale-invariance code is
higher than the one corresponding to the cpuinfo.max_freq value
coming from the acpi_cpufreq driver, the scale-invariant utilization
falls below 100% even if the CPU runs at cpuinfo.max_freq or slightly
faster, which causes the schedutil governor to select a frequency
below cpuinfo.max_freq.  That frequency corresponds to a frequency
table entry below the maximum performance level necessary to get to
the "boost" range of CPU frequencies which prevents "boost"
frequencies from being used in some workloads.

While this issue is related to scale-invariance, it may be amplified
by commit db865272d9c4 ("cpufreq: Avoid configuring old governors as
default with intel_pstate") from the 5.10 development cycle which
made it extremely easy to default to schedutil even if the preferred
driver is acpi_cpufreq as long as intel_pstate is built too, because
the mere presence of the latter effectively removes the ondemand
governor from the defaults.  Distro kernels are likely to include
both intel_pstate and acpi_cpufreq on x86, so their users who cannot
use intel_pstate or choose to use acpi_cpufreq may easily be
affectecd by this issue.

If CPPC is available, it can be used to address this issue by
extending the frequency tables created by acpi_cpufreq to cover the
entire available frequency range (including "boost" frequencies) for
each CPU, but if CPPC is not there, acpi_cpufreq has no idea what
the maximum "boost" frequency is and the frequency tables created by
it cannot be extended in a meaningful way, so in that case make it
ask the arch scale-invariance code to to use the "nominal" performance
level for CPU utilization scaling in order to avoid the issue at hand.

With CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL, CONFIG_UBSAN and CONFIG_UBSAN_UNSIGNED_OVERFLOW
enabled, clang fails the build with

  x86_64-linux-ld: arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.o: in function `efi_sync_low_kernel_mappings':
  efi_64.c:(.text+0x22c): undefined reference to `__compiletime_assert_354'

which happens due to -fsanitize=unsigned-integer-overflow being enabled:

  -fsanitize=unsigned-integer-overflow: Unsigned integer overflow, where
  the result of an unsigned integer computation cannot be represented
  in its type. Unlike signed integer overflow, this is not undefined
  behavior, but it is often unintentional. This sanitizer does not check
  for lossy implicit conversions performed before such a computation
  (see -fsanitize=implicit-conversion).

and that fires when the (intentional) EFI_VA_START/END defines overflow
an unsigned long, leading to the assertion expressions not getting
optimized away (on GCC they do)...

However, those checks are superfluous: the runtime services mapping
code already makes sure the ranges don't overshoot EFI_VA_END as the
EFI mapping range is hardcoded. On each runtime services call, it is
switched to the EFI-specific PGD and even if mappings manage to escape
that last PGD, this won't remain unnoticed for long.

So rip them out.

With CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL, CONFIG_UBSAN and CONFIG_UBSAN_UNSIGNED_OVERFLOW
enabled, clang fails the build with

  x86_64-linux-ld: arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.o: in function `efi_sync_low_kernel_mappings':
  efi_64.c:(.text+0x22c): undefined reference to `__compiletime_assert_354'

which happens due to -fsanitize=unsigned-integer-overflow being enabled:

  -fsanitize=unsigned-integer-overflow: Unsigned integer overflow, where
  the result of an unsigned integer computation cannot be represented
  in its type. Unlike signed integer overflow, this is not undefined
  behavior, but it is often unintentional. This sanitizer does not check
  for lossy implicit conversions performed before such a computation
  (see -fsanitize=implicit-conversion).

and that fires when the (intentional) EFI_VA_START/END defines overflow
an unsigned long, leading to the assertion expressions not getting
optimized away (on GCC they do)...

However, those checks are superfluous: the runtime services mapping
code already makes sure the ranges don't overshoot EFI_VA_END as the
EFI mapping range is hardcoded. On each runtime services call, it is
switched to the EFI-specific PGD and even if mappings manage to escape
that last PGD, this won't remain unnoticed for long.

<title>entry: Ensure trap after single-step on system call return</title>

Commit 299155244770 ("entry: Drop usage of TIF flags in the generic syscall
code") introduced a bug on architectures using the generic syscall entry
code, in which processes stopped by PTRACE_SYSCALL do not trap on syscall
return after receiving a TIF_SINGLESTEP.

The reason is that the meaning of TIF_SINGLESTEP flag is overloaded to
cause the trap after a system call is executed, but since the above commit,
the syscall call handler only checks for the SYSCALL_WORK flags on the exit
work.

Split the meaning of TIF_SINGLESTEP such that it only means single-step
mode, and create a new type of SYSCALL_WORK to request a trap immediately
after a syscall in single-step mode.  In the current implementation, the
SYSCALL_WORK flag shadows the TIF_SINGLESTEP flag for simplicity.

Update x86 to flip this bit when a tracer enables single stepping.

<title>x86/debug: Prevent data breakpoints on cpu_dr7</title>

local_db_save() is called at the start of exc_debug_kernel(), reads DR7 and
disables breakpoints to prevent recursion.

When running in a guest (X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR), local_db_save() reads the
per-cpu variable cpu_dr7 to check whether a breakpoint is active or not
before it accesses DR7.

A data breakpoint on cpu_dr7 therefore results in infinite #DB recursion.

Disallow data breakpoints on cpu_dr7 to prevent that.
