Interactive governor has lived in Android sources for a very long time
and this commit is based on the code present in following branch:https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common android-4.4
The Interactive governor is designed for latency-sensitive workloads,
such as interactive user interfaces like the mobile phones and tablets.
The interactive governor aims to be significantly more responsive to
ramp CPU quickly up when CPU-intensive activity begins.Existing governors sample CPU load at a particular rate, typically every
X ms and then update the frequency from a work-handler. This can lead
to under-powering UI threads for the period of time during which the
user begins interacting with a previously-idle system until the next
sample period happens.The 'interactive' governor uses a different approach.
A real-time thread is used for scaling up, giving the remaining tasks
the CPU performance benefit, unlike existing governors which are more
likely to schedule ramp-up work to occur after your performance starved
tasks have completed.The Android version of interactive governor also checks whether to scale
the CPU frequency up soon after coming out of idle. When the CPU comes
out of idle, the governor check if the CPU sampling is overdue or not.
If yes, it immediately starts the sampling. Otherwise, the utilization
hooks from the scheduler handle the sampling later. If the CPU is very
busy from exiting idle to when the evaluation happens, then it assumes
that the CPU is under-powered and ramps it to MAX speed.If the CPU was not sufficiently busy to immediately ramp to MAX speed,
then the governor evaluates the CPU load since the last speed
adjustment, choosing the highest value between that longer-term load or
the short-term load since idle exit to determine the CPU speed to ramp
to.Idle notifiers will be be handled later and are not included for now.
The core of this code is written and maintained (in Android
repositories) by Mike Chan and Todd Poyner over a long period of time.Vireshk has made changes to to the governor to align it with the current
practices followed with mainline governors, like using utilization hooks
from the scheduler and handling kobject (for governor's sysfs directory)
in a race free manner. And of course this included general cleanup of
the governor as well.Signed-off-by: Mike Chan

commit 5b5e4d623ec8a34689df98e42d038a3b594d2ff9 upstream.
Swap storage is restricted to max_swapfile_size (~16TB on x86_64) whenever
the system is deemed affected by L1TF vulnerability. Even though the limit
is quite high for most deployments it seems to be too restrictive for
deployments which are willing to live with the mitigation disabled.We have a customer to deploy 8x 6,4TB PCIe/NVMe SSD swap devices which is
clearly out of the limit.Drop the swap restriction when l1tf=off is specified. It also doesn't make
much sense to warn about too much memory for the l1tf mitigation when it is
forcefully disabled by the administrator.[ tglx: Folded the documentation delta change ]

commit 6b3e64c237c072797a9ec918654a60e3a46488e2 upstream
If 'prctl' mode of user space protection from spectre v2 is selected
on the kernel command-line, STIBP and IBPB are applied on tasks which
restrict their indirect branch speculation via prctl.SECCOMP enables the SSBD mitigation for sandboxed tasks already, so it
makes sense to prevent spectre v2 user space to user space attacks as
well.The Intel mitigation guide documents how STIPB works:
Setting bit 1 (STIBP) of the IA32_SPEC_CTRL MSR on a logical processor
prevents the predicted targets of indirect branches on any logical
processor of that core from being controlled by software that executes
(or executed previously) on another logical processor of the same core.Ergo setting STIBP protects the task itself from being attacked from a task
running on a different hyper-thread and protects the tasks running on
different hyper-threads from being attacked.While the document suggests that the branch predictors are shielded between
the logical processors, the observed performance regressions suggest that
STIBP simply disables the branch predictor more or less completely. Of
course the document wording is vague, but the fact that there is also no
requirement for issuing IBPB when STIBP is used points clearly in that
direction. The kernel still issues IBPB even when STIBP is used until Intel
clarifies the whole mechanism.IBPB is issued when the task switches out, so malicious sandbox code cannot
mistrain the branch predictor for the next user space task on the same
logical processor.Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina

commit 544b03da39e2d7b4961d3163976ed4bfb1fac509 upstream.
At the request of the reporter, the Linux kernel security team offers to
postpone the publishing of a fix for up to 5 business days from the date
of a report.While it is generally undesirable to keep a fix private after it has
been developed, this short window is intended to allow distributions to
package the fix into their kernel builds and permits early inclusion of
the security team in the case of a co-ordinated disclosure with other
parties. Unfortunately, discussions with major Linux distributions and
cloud providers has revealed that 5 business days is not sufficient to
achieve either of these two goals.As an example, cloud providers need to roll out KVM security fixes to a
global fleet of hosts with sufficient early ramp-up and monitoring. An
end-to-end timeline of less than two weeks dramatically cuts into the
amount of early validation and increases the chance of guest-visible
regressions.The consequence of this timeline mismatch is that security issues are
commonly fixed without the involvement of the Linux kernel security team
and are instead analysed and addressed by an ad-hoc group of developers
across companies contributing to Linux. In some cases, mainline (and
therefore the official stable kernels) can be left to languish for
extended periods of time. This undermines the Linux kernel security
process and puts upstream developers in a difficult position should they
find themselves involved with an undisclosed security problem that they
are unable to report due to restrictions from their employer.To accommodate the needs of these users of the Linux kernel and
encourage them to engage with the Linux security team when security
issues are first uncovered, extend the maximum period for which fixes
may be delayed to 7 calendar days, or 14 calendar days in exceptional
cases, where the logistics of QA and large scale rollouts specifically
need to be accommodated. This brings parity with the linux-distros@
maximum embargo period of 14 calendar days.Cc: Paolo Bonzini

The "pciserial" earlyprintk variant helps much on many modern x86
platforms, but unfortunately there are still some platforms with PCI
UART devices which have the wrong PCI class code. In that case, the
current class code check does not allow for them to be used for logging.Add a sub-option "force" which overrides the class code check and thus
the use of such device can be enforced.[ bp: massage formulations. ]

Scrubbing pages on initial balloon down can take some time, especially
in nested virtualization case (nested EPT is slow). When HVM/PVH guest is
started with memory= significantly lower than maxmem=, all the extra
pages will be scrubbed before returning to Xen. But since most of them
weren't used at all at that point, Xen needs to populate them first
(from populate-on-demand pool). In nested virt case (Xen inside KVM)
this slows down the guest boot by 15-30s with just 1.5GB needed to be
returned to Xen.Add runtime parameter to enable/disable it, to allow initially disabling
scrubbing, then enable it back during boot (for example in initramfs).
Such usage relies on assumption that a) most pages ballooned out during
initial boot weren't used at all, and b) even if they were, very few
secrets are in the guest at that time (before any serious userspace
kicks in).

For some workloads an intervention from the OOM killer can be painful.
Killing a random task can bring the workload into an inconsistent state.Historically, there are two common solutions for this
problem:
1) enabling panic_on_oom,
2) using a userspace daemon to monitor OOMs and kill
all outstanding processes.Both approaches have their downsides: rebooting on each OOM is an obvious
waste of capacity, and handling all in userspace is tricky and requires a
userspace agent, which will monitor all cgroups for OOMs.In most cases an in-kernel after-OOM cleaning-up mechanism can eliminate
the necessity of enabling panic_on_oom. Also, it can simplify the cgroup
management for userspace applications.This commit introduces a new knob for cgroup v2 memory controller:
memory.oom.group. The knob determines whether the cgroup should be
treated as an indivisible workload by the OOM killer. If set, all tasks
belonging to the cgroup or to its descendants (if the memory cgroup is not
a leaf cgroup) are killed together or not at all.To determine which cgroup has to be killed, we do traverse the cgroup
hierarchy from the victim task's cgroup up to the OOMing cgroup (or root)
and looking for the highest-level cgroup with memory.oom.group set.Tasks with the OOM protection (oom_score_adj set to -1000) are treated as
an exception and are never killed.This patch doesn't change the OOM victim selection algorithm.

Identifying pages which are not shared allows us to focus on adjusting
the memory layout or access patterns for the sole owning process.
Knowing the number of processes that share a page tells us how many

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Notable changes:- A fix for a bug in our page table fragment allocator, where a page
table page could be freed and reallocated for something else while
still in use, leading to memory corruption etc. The fix reuses
pt_mm in struct page (x86 only) for a powerpc only refcount.- Fixes to our pkey support. Several are user-visible changes, but
bring us in to line with x86 behaviour and/or fix outright bugs.
Thanks to Florian Weimer for reporting many of these.- A series to improve the hvc driver & related OPAL console code,
which have been seen to cause hardlockups at times. The hvc driver
changes in particular have been in linux-next for ~month.- Increase our MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS to 128TB when SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=y.
- Remove Power8 DD1 and Power9 DD1 support, neither chip should be in
use anywhere other than as a paper weight.- An optimised memcmp implementation using Power7-or-later VMX
instructions- Support for barrier_nospec on some NXP CPUs.
- Support for flushing the count cache on context switch on some IBM
CPUs (controlled by firmware), as a Spectre v2 mitigation.- A series to enhance the information we print on unhandled signals
to bring it into line with other arches, including showing the
offending VMA and dumping the instructions around the fault.Thanks to: Aaro Koskinen, Akshay Adiga, Alastair D'Silva, Alexey

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

To support peer-to-peer traffic on a segment of the PCI hierarchy, we must
disable the ACS redirect bits for select PCI bridges. The bridges must be
selected before the devices are discovered by the kernel and the IOMMU
groups created. Therefore, add a kernel command line parameter to specify
devices which must have their ACS bits disabled.The new parameter takes a list of devices separated by a semicolon. Each
device specified will have its ACS redirect bits disabled. This is
similar to the existing 'resource_alignment' parameter.The ACS Request P2P Request Redirect, P2P Completion Redirect and P2P
Egress Control bits are disabled, which is sufficient to always allow
passing P2P traffic uninterrupted. The bits are set after the kernel
(optionally) enables the ACS bits itself. It is also done regardless of
whether the kernel or platform firmware sets the bits.If the user tries to disable the ACS redirect for a device without the ACS
capability, print a warning to dmesg.Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe

Acked-by: Christian König -
When specifying PCI devices on the kernel command line using a
bus/device/function address, bus numbers can change when adding or
replacing a device, changing motherboard firmware, or applying kernel
parameters like "pci=assign-buses". When bus numbers change, it's likely
the command line tweak will be applied to the wrong device.Therefore, it is useful to be able to specify devices with a base bus
number and the path of devfns needed to get to it, similar to the "device
scope" structure in the Intel VT-d spec, Section 8.3.1.Thus, we add an option to specify devices in the following format:
[:]:.[/.]*
The path can be any segment within the PCI hierarchy of any length and
determined through the use of 'lspci -t'. When specified this way, it is
less likely that a renumbered bus will result in a valid device
specification and the tweak won't be applied to the wrong device.Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe

Separate out the code to match a PCI device with a string (typically
originating from a kernel parameter) from the
pci_specified_resource_alignment() function into its own helper function.While we are at it, this change fixes the kernel style of the function
(fixing a number of long lines and extra parentheses).Additionally, make the analogous change to the kernel parameter
documentation: Separate the description of how to specify a PCI device
into its own section at the head of the "pci=" parameter.This patch should have no functional alterations.

Currently, avg_lat is calculated by accumulating the mean of every
window in a long running cumulative average. As time goes on, the metric
becomes less and less useful due to the accumulated history.This patch reuses the same calculation done in load averages to make the
avg_lat metric more lively. Unlike load averages, the avg only advances
when a window elapses (due to an io). Idle periods extend the most
recent window. Bucketing is used to limit the history of avg_lat by
binding it to the window size. So, the window range for 1/exp (decay
rate) is [1 min, 2.5 min) when windows elapse immediately.The current sample window size is exposed in the debug info to enable
calculation of the window range.Signed-off-by: Dennis Zhou
