Stefan Richter noticed that the X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS option
in arch/x86/Kconfig references Documentation/x86/protection-keys.txt,
but the file does not exist.This is a patch merging mishap: the final (v8) version of the pkeys
series did not include the documentation patch 32 and v7 included.

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes are:- Use separate EFI page tables when executing EFI firmware code.
This isolates the EFI context from the rest of the kernel, which
has security and general robustness advantages. (Matt Fleming)- Run regular UEFI firmware with interrupts enabled. This is already
the status quo under other OSs. (Ard Biesheuvel)- Various x86 EFI enhancements, such as the use of non-executable
attributes for EFI memory mappings. (Sai Praneeth Prakhya)- Various arm64 UEFI enhancements. (Ard Biesheuvel)
- ... various fixes and cleanups.
The separate EFI page tables feature got delayed twice already,
because it's an intrusive change and we didn't feel confident about
it - third time's the charm we hope!"* 'efi-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (37 commits)

Huge amounts of help from Andy Lutomirski and Borislav Petkov to
produce this. Andy provided the inspiration to add classes to the
exception table with a clever bit-squeezing trick, Boris pointed
out how much cleaner it would all be if we just had a new field.Linus Torvalds blessed the expansion with:
' I'd rather not be clever in order to save just a tiny amount of space
in the exception table, which isn't really criticial for anybody. 'The third field is another relative function pointer, this one to a
handler that executes the actions.We start out with three handlers:

The effort to replace mtrr_add() with architecture agnostic
arch_phys_wc_add() is complete, this will ensure write-combining
implementations (PAT on x86) is taken advantage instead of using
MTRR. With the effort done now, hide direct MTRR access for
drivers.The legacy user-space /proc/mtrr ABI is not affected.

the phasing out of direct access to MTRR, also add a note on
platform firmware code use of MTRRs based on the obituary

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
"There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
collected into the 'x86/core' topic.The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
end.The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
have fewer dependencies).The main changes in this cycle were:
* x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
Gleixner)- This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
domains:[IOAPIC domain] -----
|
[MSI domain] --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
| (optional) |
[HPET MSI domain] ----- |
|
[DMAR domain] -----------------------------
|
[Legacy domain] -----------------------------This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping. It's a clear
separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
and the vector management.- Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
injection into guests (Feng Wu)* x86/asm changes:
- Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations. This
is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
Brian Gerst)- Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)- Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)- NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)
* x86/mm changes:
- Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)- New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
Write-Through cached memory mappings. This is especially
important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)* x86/ras changes:
- Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)
This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
poisoned data. That means roughly that the hardware marks data
which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
form of a deferred error. It is the OS's responsibility then to
take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
far as possible.- Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)- Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)
* x86/platform changes:
- Intel Atom SoC updates
... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
shortlog and the Git log for details"* 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (222 commits)

As part of the effort to phase out MTRR use document
write-combining MTRR effects on pages with different non-PAT
page attributes flags and different PAT entry values. Extend
arch_phys_wc_add() documentation to clarify power of two sizes /
boundary requirements as we phase out mtrr_add() use.Lastly hint towards ioremap_uc() for corner cases on device
drivers working with devices with mixed regions where MTRR size
requirements would otherwise not enable write-combining
effective memory types.Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez

The cmdline_size field in setup_header is listed as read-only, and is
never read by the kernel. Therefore, there is no need for it to be set
by a boot loader implementing the EFI handover protocol, so remove it
from the list of fields required to be set by a boot loader.Signed-off-by: Alex Smith

Commit:
e2b32e678513 ("x86, kaslr: randomize module base load address")
made module base address randomization unconditional and didn't regard
disabled KKASLR due to CONFIG_HIBERNATION and command line option
"nokaslr". For more info see (now reverted) commit:f47233c2d34f ("x86/mm/ASLR: Propagate base load address calculation")
In order to propagate KASLR status to kernel proper, we need a single bit
in boot_params.hdr.loadflags and we've chosen bit 1 thus leaving the
top-down allocated bits for bits supposed to be used by the bootloader.Originally-From: Jiri Kosina

This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer.
16TB of virtual addressed used for shadow memory. It's located in range
[ffffec0000000000 - fffffc0000000000] between vmemmap and %esp fixup
stacks.At early stage we map whole shadow region with zero page. Latter, after
pages mapped to direct mapping address range we unmap zero pages from
corresponding shadow (see kasan_map_shadow()) and allocate and map a real
shadow memory reusing vmemmap_populate() function.Also replace __pa with __pa_nodebug before shadow initialized. __pa with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y make external function call (__phys_addr)
__phys_addr is instrumented, so __asan_load could be called before shadow
area initialized.Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin

This causes all non-NMI, non-double-fault kernel entries from
userspace to run on the normal kernel stack. Double-fault is
exempt to minimize confusion if we double-fault directly from
userspace due to a bad kernel stack.This is, suprisingly, simpler and shorter than the current code. It
removes the IMO rather frightening paranoid_userspace path, and it
make sync_regs much simpler.There is no risk of stack overflow due to this change -- the kernel
stack that we switch to is empty.This will also enable us to create non-atomic sections within
machine checks from userspace, which will simplify memory failure
handling. It will also allow the upcoming fsgsbase code to be
simplified, because it doesn't need to worry about usergs when
scheduling in paranoid_exit, as that code no longer exists.Cc: Oleg Nesterov

Give MPX a real config option. The CPUs that support it (referenced
here):https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/402393
are not available publicly yet. Right now only the software emulator
provides MPX for the general public.[ tglx: Make it default off. There is no point in having it on right
now as no hardware and no proper tooling support are available ]Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen

I was writing some MPX test programs and realized that the
current design makes it tricky. I did something like:bndcfgu |= bnd_dir | BNDCFGU_ENABLE;
xrstor();
printf("xrstor done");
// #BR bounds exception here
prctl(MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT);and then compiled the app with "-fcheck-pointer-bounds -mmpx"
to enable MPX instrumentation.The problem is that there is MPX instrumentation inserted in
to the area of the printf(). The kernel gets a bounds exception
and since management isn't yet enabled, it SIGSEGV's.Add a bit to the documentation to explain a way around this and
where apps need to be careful.Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen
