Pull x86 PTI and Spectre related fixes and updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Here's the latest set of Spectre and PTI related fixes and updates:

  Spectre:
   - Add entry code register clearing to reduce the Spectre attack
     surface
   - Update the Spectre microcode blacklist
   - Inline the KVM Spectre helpers to get close to v4.14 performance
     again.
   - Fix indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()
   - Fix/improve Spectre related kernel messages
   - Fix array_index_nospec_mask() asm constraint
   - KVM: fix two MSR handling bugs

  PTI:
   - Fix a paranoid entry PTI CR3 handling bug
   - Fix comments

  objtool:
   - Fix paranoid_entry() frame pointer warning
   - Annotate WARN()-related UD2 as reachable

   - Various x86 entry code self-test fixes
   - Improve/simplify entry code stack frame generation and handling
     after recent heavy-handed PTI and Spectre changes. (There's two
     more WIP improvements expected here.)
   - Type fix for cache entries

  There's also some low risk non-fix changes I've included in this
  branch to reduce backporting conflicts:

   - rename a confusing x86_cpu field name
   - de-obfuscate the naming of single-TLB flushing primitives"

Peter Zijlstra's patch for converting WARN() to use UD2 triggered a
bunch of false "unreachable instruction" warnings, which then triggered
a seg fault in ignore_unreachable_insn().

The seg fault happened when it tried to dereference a NULL 'insn-&gt;func'
pointer.  Thanks to static_cpu_has(), some functions can jump to a
non-function area in the .altinstr_aux section.  That breaks
ignore_unreachable_insn()'s assumption that it's always inside the
original function.

Make sure ignore_unreachable_insn() only follows jumps within the
current function.

<title>objtool: Fix switch-table detection</title>

Linus reported that GCC-7.3 generated a switch-table construct that
confused objtool. It turns out that, in particular due to KASAN, it is
possible to have unrelated .rodata usage in between the .rodata setup
for the switch-table and the following indirect jump.

The simple linear reverse search from the indirect jump would hit upon
the KASAN .rodata usage first and fail to find a switch_table,
resulting in a spurious 'sibling call with modified stack frame'
warning.

Fix this by creating a 'jump-stack' which we can 'unwind' during
reversal, thereby skipping over much of the in-between code.

This is not fool proof by any means, but is sufficient to make the
known cases work. Future work would be to construct more comprehensive
flow analysis code.

Pull spectre/meltdown updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The next round of updates related to melted spectrum:

   - The initial set of spectre V1 mitigations:

       - Array index speculation blocker and its usage for syscall,
         fdtable and the n180211 driver.

       - Speculation barrier and its usage in user access functions

   - Make indirect calls in KVM speculation safe

   - Blacklisting of known to be broken microcodes so IPBP/IBSR are not
     touched.

   - The initial IBPB support and its usage in context switch

   - The exposure of the new speculation MSRs to KVM guests.

   - A fix for a regression in x86/32 related to the cpu entry area

   - Proper whitelisting for known to be safe CPUs from the mitigations.

   - objtool fixes to deal proper with retpolines and alternatives

   - Exclude __init functions from retpolines which speeds up the boot
     process.

   - Removal of the syscall64 fast path and related cleanups and
     simplifications

   - Removal of the unpatched paravirt mode which is yet another source
     of indirect unproteced calls.

   - A new and undisputed version of the module mismatch warning

   - A couple of cleanup and correctness fixes all over the place

  Yet another step towards full mitigation. There are a few things still
  missing like the RBS underflow mitigation for Skylake and other small
  details, but that's being worked on.

  That said, I'm taking a belated christmas vacation for a week and hope
  that everything is magically solved when I'm back on Feb 12th"

Pull hardened usercopy whitelisting from Kees Cook:
 "Currently, hardened usercopy performs dynamic bounds checking on slab
  cache objects. This is good, but still leaves a lot of kernel memory
  available to be copied to/from userspace in the face of bugs.

  To further restrict what memory is available for copying, this creates
  a way to whitelist specific areas of a given slab cache object for
  copying to/from userspace, allowing much finer granularity of access
  control.

  Slab caches that are never exposed to userspace can declare no
  whitelist for their objects, thereby keeping them unavailable to
  userspace via dynamic copy operations. (Note, an implicit form of
  whitelisting is the use of constant sizes in usercopy operations and
  get_user()/put_user(); these bypass all hardened usercopy checks since
  these sizes cannot change at runtime.)

  This new check is WARN-by-default, so any mistakes can be found over
  the next several releases without breaking anyone's system.

  The series has roughly the following sections:
   - remove %p and improve reporting with offset
   - prepare infrastructure and whitelist kmalloc
   - update VFS subsystem with whitelists
   - update SCSI subsystem with whitelists
   - update network subsystem with whitelists
   - update process memory with whitelists
   - update per-architecture thread_struct with whitelists
   - update KVM with whitelists and fix ioctl bug
   - mark all other allocations as not whitelisted
   - update lkdtm for more sensible test overage"

With the following fix:

  2a0098d70640 ("objtool: Fix seg fault with gold linker")

... a seg fault was avoided, but the original seg fault condition in
objtool wasn't fixed.  Replace the seg fault with an error message.

<title>objtool: Add support for alternatives at the end of a section</title>

<id>17bc33914bcc98ba3c6b426fd1c49587a25c0597</id>
<content type='text'>
Now that the previous patch gave objtool the ability to read retpoline
alternatives, it shows a new warning:

  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: .entry_trampoline: don't know how to handle alternatives at end of section

This is due to the JMP_NOSPEC in entry_SYSCALL_64_trampoline().

Previously, objtool ignored this situation because it wasn't needed, and
it would have required a bit of extra code.  Now that this case exists,
add proper support for it.

<title>objtool: Improve retpoline alternative handling</title>

Currently objtool requires all retpolines to be:

  a) patched in with alternatives; and

  b) annotated with ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE.

If you forget to do both of the above, objtool segfaults trying to
dereference a NULL 'insn-&gt;call_dest' pointer.

Avoid that situation and print a more helpful error message:

  quirks.o: warning: objtool: efi_delete_dummy_variable()+0x99: unsupported intra-function call
  quirks.o: warning: objtool: If this is a retpoline, please patch it in with alternatives and annotate it with ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE.

Future improvements can be made to make objtool smarter with respect to
retpolines, but this is a good incremental improvement for now.

Pull x86 pti bits and fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This last update contains:

   - An objtool fix to prevent a segfault with the gold linker by
     changing the invocation order. That's not just for gold, it's a
     general robustness improvement.

   - An improved error message for objtool which spares tearing hairs.

   - Make KASAN fail loudly if there is not enough memory instead of
     oopsing at some random place later

   - RSB fill on context switch to prevent RSB underflow and speculation
     through other units.

   - Make the retpoline/RSB functionality work reliably for both Intel
     and AMD

   - Add retpoline to the module version magic so mismatch can be
     detected

   - A small (non-fix) update for cpufeatures which prevents cpu feature
     clashing for the upcoming extra mitigation bits to ease
     backporting"

* 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  module: Add retpoline tag to VERMAGIC
  x86/cpufeature: Move processor tracing out of scattered features
