      x86/tlb: Fix tlb flushing when lguest clears PGE · 2c4ea6e2
      Daniel Borkmann authored 
      Fengguang reported random corruptions from various locations on x86-32
after commits d2852a22 ("arch: add ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY config") and
9d876e79 ("bpf: fix unlocking of jited image when module ronx not set")
that uses the former. While x86-32 doesn't have a JIT like x86_64, the
bpf_prog_lock_ro() and bpf_prog_unlock_ro() got enabled due to
ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY, whereas Fengguang's test kernel doesn't have module
support built in and therefore never had the DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX setting
enabled.

After investigating the crashes further, it turned out that using
set_memory_ro() and set_memory_rw() didn't have the desired effect, for
example, setting the pages as read-only on x86-32 would still let
probe_kernel_write() succeed without error. This behavior would manifest
itself in situations where the vmalloc'ed buffer was accessed prior to
set_memory_*() such as in case of bpf_prog_alloc(). In cases where it
wasn't, the page attribute changes seemed to have taken effect, leading to
the conclusion that a TLB invalidate didn't happen. Moreover, it turned out
that this issue reproduced with qemu in "-cpu kvm64" mode, but not for
"-cpu host". When the issue occurs, change_page_attr_set_clr() did trigger
a TLB flush as expected via __flush_tlb_all() through cpa_flush_range(),
though.

There are 3 variants for issuing a TLB flush: invpcid_flush_all() (depends
on CPU feature bits X86_FEATURE_INVPCID, X86_FEATURE_PGE), cr4 based flush
(depends on X86_FEATURE_PGE), and cr3 based flush.  For "-cpu host" case in
my setup, the flush used invpcid_flush_all() variant, whereas for "-cpu
kvm64", the flush was cr4 based. Switching the kvm64 case to cr3 manually
worked fine, and further investigating the cr4 one turned out that
X86_CR4_PGE bit was not set in cr4 register, meaning the
__native_flush_tlb_global_irq_disabled() wrote cr4 twice with the same
value instead of clearing X86_CR4_PGE in the first write to trigger the
flush.

It turned out that X86_CR4_PGE was cleared from cr4 during init from
lguest_arch_host_init() via adjust_pge(). The X86_FEATURE_PGE bit is also
cleared from there due to concerns of using PGE in guest kernel that can
lead to hard to trace bugs (see bff672e6 ("lguest: documentation V:
Host") in init()). The CPU feature bits are cleared in dynamic
boot_cpu_data, but they never propagated to __flush_tlb_all() as it uses
static_cpu_has() instead of boot_cpu_has() for testing which variant of TLB
flushing to use, meaning they still used the old setting of the host
kernel.

Clearing via setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_PGE) so this would propagate
to static_cpu_has() checks is too late at this point as sections have been
patched already, so for now, it seems reasonable to switch back to
boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PGE) as it was prior to commit c109bf95
("x86/cpufeature: Remove cpu_has_pge"). This lets the TLB flush trigger via
cr3 as originally intended, properly makes the new page attributes visible
and thus fixes the crashes seen by Fengguang.

      mm, page_alloc: Add missing check for memory holes · b4fb8f66
      Tony Luck authored 
      Commit 13ad59df ("mm, page_alloc: avoid page_to_pfn() when merging
buddies") moved the check for memory holes out of page_is_buddy() and
had the callers do the check.

But this wasn't done correctly in one place which caused ia64 to crash
very early in boot.

Update to fix that and make ia64 boot again.

[ v2: Vlastimil pointed out we don't need to call page_to_pfn()
      since we already have the result of that in "buddy_pfn" ]

      Merge tag 'ktest-v4.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest · 8557b8e4
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull ktest fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Greg Kroah-Hartman reported to me that the ktest of v4.11-rc1 locked
  up in an infinite loop while doing the make mrproper.

  Looking into the cause I noticed that a recent update to the function
  run_command (used for running all shell commands, including "make
  mrproper") changed the internal loop to use the function
  wait_for_input.

  The wait_for_input function uses select to look at two file
  descriptors. One is the file descriptor of the command it is running,
  the other is STDIN. The STDIN check was not checking the return status
  of the sysread call, and was also just writing a lot of data into
  syswrite without regard to the size of the data read.

  Changing the code to check the return status of sysread, and also to
  still process the passed in descriptor data without looping back to
  the select fixed Greg's problem.

  While looking at this code I also realized that the loop did not honor
  the timeout if STDIN always had input (or for some reason return
  error). this could prevent wait_for_input to timeout on the file
  descriptor it is suppose to be waiting for. That is fixed too"

      overlayfs: remove now unnecessary header file include · 04bb94b1
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This removes the extra include header file that was added in commit
e58bc927 "Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi" now that it
is no longer needed.

There are probably other such includes that got added during the
scheduler header splitup series, but this is the one that annoyed me
personally and I know about.

      sched/headers: fix up header file dependency on <linux/sched/signal.h> · bd0f9b35
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The scheduler header file split and cleanups ended up exposing a few
nasty header file dependencies, and in particular it showed how we in
<linux/wait.h> ended up depending on "signal_pending()", which now comes
from <linux/sched/signal.h>.

That's a very subtle and annoying dependency, which already caused a
semantic merge conflict (see commit e58bc927 "Pull overlayfs updates
from Miklos Szeredi", which added that fixup in the merge commit).

It turns out that we can avoid this dependency _and_ improve code
generation by moving the guts of the fairly nasty helper #define
__wait_event_interruptible_locked() to out-of-line code.  The code that
includes the signal_pending() check is all in the slow-path where we
actually go to sleep waiting for the event anyway, so using a helper
function is the right thing to do.

Using a helper function is also what we already did for the non-locked
versions, see the "__wait_event*()" macros and the "prepare_to_wait*()"
set of helper functions.

We might want to try to unify all these macro games, we have a _lot_ of
subtly different wait-event loops.  But this is the minimal patch to fix
the annoying header dependency.

      ktest: Make sure wait_for_input does honor the timeout · f7c6401f
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored 
      The function wait_for_input takes in a timeout, and even has a default
timeout. But if for some reason the STDIN descriptor keeps sending in data,
the function will never time out. The timout is to wait for the data from
the passed in file descriptor, not for STDIN. Adding a test in the case
where there's no data from the passed in file descriptor that checks to see
if the timeout passed, will ensure that it will timeout properly even if
there's input in STDIN.

      ktest: Fix while loop in wait_for_input · 99c014a8
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored 
      The run_command function was changed to use the wait_for_input function to
allow having a timeout if the command to run takes too much time. There was
a bug in the wait_for_input where it could end up going into an infinite
loop. There's two issues here. One is that the return value of the sysread
wasn't used for the write (to write a proper size), and that it should
continue processing the passed in file descriptor too even if there was
input. There was no check for error, if for some reason STDIN returned an
error, the function would go into an infinite loop and never exit.

      MIPS: Add missing include files · fc69910f
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      After the split of linux/sched.h, several platforms in arch/mips stopped building.

Add the respective additional #include statements to fix the problem I first
tried adding these into asm/processor.h, but ran into circular header
dependencies with that which I could not figure out.

The commit I listed as causing the problem is the branch merge, as there is
likely a combination of multiple patches in that branch.
