Updating microcode is less error prone when caches have been flushed and depending on what exactly the microcode is updating. For example, some of the issues around certain Broadwell parts can be addressed by doing a full cache flush. [ Borislav: Massage it and use native_wbinvd() in both cases. ] Signed-off-by:

After updating microcode on one of the threads of a core, the other thread sibling automatically gets the update since the microcode resources on a hyperthreaded core are shared between the two threads. Check the microcode revision on the CPU before performing a microcode update and thus save us the WRMSR 0x79 because it is a particularly expensive operation.

As: 1) It's known that hypervisors lie about the environment anyhow (host mismatch) 2) Even if the hypervisor (Xen, KVM, VMWare, etc) provided a valid "correct" value, it all gets to be very murky when migration happens (do you provide the "new" microcode of the machine?). And in reality the cloud vendors are the ones that should make sure that the microcode that is running is correct and we should just sing lalalala and trust them.

Since Linux v3.2, vsyscalls have been deprecated and slow. From v3.2 on, Linux had three vsyscall modes: "native", "emulate", and "none". "emulate" is the default. All known user programs work correctly in emulate mode, but vsyscalls turn into page faults and are emulated. This is very slow. In "native" mode, the vsyscall page is easily usable as an exploit gadget, but vsyscalls are a bit faster -- they turn into normal syscalls. (This is in contrast to vDSO functions, which can be much faster than syscalls.) In "none" mode, there are no vsyscalls. For all practical purposes, "native" was really just a chicken bit in case something went wrong with the emulation. It's been over six years, and nothing has gone wrong. Delete it. Signed-off-by:

The separation of the cpu_entry_area from the fixmap missed the fact that on 32bit non-PAE kernels the cpu_entry_area mapping might not be covered in initial_page_table by the previous synchronizations. This results in suspend/resume failures because 32bit utilizes initial page table for resume. The absence of the cpu_entry_area mapping results in a triple fault, aka. insta reboot. With PAE enabled this works by chance because the PGD entry which covers the fixmap and other parts incindentally provides the cpu_entry_area mapping as well. Synchronize the initial page table after setting up the cpu entry area. Instead of adding yet another copy of the same code, move it to a function and invoke it from the various places. It needs to be investigated if the existing calls in setup_arch() and setup_per_cpu_areas() can be replaced by the later invocation from setup_cpu_entry_areas(), but that's beyond the scope of this fix. Fixes: 92a0f81d ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap") Reported-by:

vmx_vcpu_run() and svm_vcpu_run() are large functions, and giving branch hints to the compiler can actually make a substantial cycle difference by keeping the fast path contiguous in memory. With this optimization, the retpoline-guest/retpoline-host case is about 50 cycles faster. Signed-off-by:

Having a paravirt indirect call in the IBRS restore path is not a good idea, since we are trying to protect from speculative execution of bogus indirect branch targets. It is also slower, so use native_wrmsrl() on the vmentry path too. Signed-off-by:

Convert init_kernel_text() to a global function and use it in a few places instead of manually comparing _sinittext and _einittext. Note that kallsyms.h has a very similar function called is_kernel_inittext(), but its end check is inclusive. I'm not sure whether that's intentional behavior, so I didn't touch it. Suggested-by:

Currently when the jump label code encounters an address which isn't recognized by kernel_text_address(), it just silently fails. This can be dangerous because jump labels are used in a variety of places, and are generally expected to work. Convert the silent failure to a warning. This won't warn about attempted writes to tracepoints in __init code after initmem has been freed, as those are already guarded by the entry->code check. Signed-off-by:
-
Josh Poimboeuf authored
After initmem has been freed, any jump labels in __init code are prevented from being written to by the kernel_text_address() check in __jump_label_update(). However, this check is quite broad. If kernel_text_address() were to return false for any other reason, the jump label write would fail silently with no warning. For jump labels in module init code, entry->code is set to zero to indicate that the entry is disabled. Do the same thing for core kernel init code. This makes the behavior more consistent, and will also make it more straightforward to detect non-init jump label write failures in the next patch. Signed-off-by:

We can also move the CLD, SWAPGS, and the switch_to_thread_stack() call to the interrupt_entry() helper function. As we do not want call depths of two, convert switch_to_thread_stack() to a macro. However, switch_to_thread_stack() has another user in entry_64_compat.S, which currently expects it to be a function. To keep the code changes in this patch minimal, create a wrapper function. The switch to a macro means that there is some binary code duplication if CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y is enabled. Therefore, the size reduction differs whether CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION is enabled or not: CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y (-0.13k): text data bss dec hex filename 17158 0 0 17158 4306 entry_64.o-orig 17028 0 0 17028 4284 entry_64.o CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=n (-0.27k): text data bss dec hex filename 17158 0 0 17158 4306 entry_64.o-orig 16882 0 0 16882 41f2 entry_64.o Signed-off-by:

Moving the switch to IRQ stack from the interrupt macro to the helper function requires some trickery: All ENTER_IRQ_STACK really cares about is where the "original" stack -- meaning the GP registers etc. -- is stored. Therefore, we need to offset the stored RSP value by 8 whenever ENTER_IRQ_STACK is called from within a function. In such cases, and after switching to the IRQ stack, we need to push the "original" return address (i.e. the return address from the call to the interrupt entry function) to the IRQ stack. This trickery allows us to carve another .85k from the text size (it would be more except for the additional unwind hints): text data bss dec hex filename 18006 0 0 18006 4656 entry_64.o-orig 17158 0 0 17158 4306 entry_64.o Signed-off-by:

The PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS macro is able to insert the GP registers "above" the original return address.

Paravirt emits indirect calls which get flagged by objtool retpoline checks, annotate it away because all these indirect calls will be patched out before we start userspace.

Retpoline means the kernel is safe because it has no indirect branches. But firmware isn't, so use IBRS for firmware calls if it's available. Block preemption while IBRS is set, although in practice the call sites already had to be doing that. Ignore hpwdt.c for now. It's taking spinlocks and calling into firmware code, from an NMI handler. I don't want to touch that with a bargepole. Signed-off-by:

This reverts commit 1dde7415. By putting the RSB filling out of line and calling it, we waste one RSB slot for returning from the function itself, which means one fewer actual function call we can make if we're doing the Skylake abomination of call-depth counting. It also changed the number of RSB stuffings we do on vmexit from 32, which was correct, to 16. Let's just stop with the bikeshedding; it didn't actually *fix* anything anyway. Signed-off-by:
