        One of them is a mei bugfix and another is a new mei device id. There

        a problem reported by a few people.
      
        All of these have been in my tree for a while, I don't know if
        linux-next is really testing much this month. But 0-day is happy with
        them :)"

      x86/microcode: Do the family check first · 1f161f67
      Borislav Petkov authored
      On CPUs like AMD's Geode, for example, we shouldn't even try to load
      microcode because they do not support the modern microcode loading
      interface.
      
      However, we do the family check *after* the other checks whether the
      loader has been disabled on the command line or whether we're running in
      a guest.
      
      So move the family checks first in order to exit early if we're being
      loaded on an unsupported family.

      x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB mode · b956575b
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      Since commit:
      
        94b1b03b ("x86/mm: Rework lazy TLB mode and TLB freshness tracking")
      
      x86's lazy TLB mode has been all the way lazy: when running a kernel thread
      (including the idle thread), the kernel keeps using the last user mm's
      page tables without attempting to maintain user TLB coherence at all.
      
      From a pure semantic perspective, this is fine -- kernel threads won't
      attempt to access user pages, so having stale TLB entries doesn't matter.
      
      Unfortunately, I forgot about a subtlety.  By skipping TLB flushes,
      we also allow any paging-structure caches that may exist on the CPU
      to become incoherent.  This means that we can have a
      paging-structure cache entry that references a freed page table, and
      the CPU is within its rights to do a speculative page walk starting
      at the freed page table.
      
      I can imagine this causing two different problems:
      
       - A speculative page walk starting from a bogus page table could read
         IO addresses.  I haven't seen any reports of this causing problems.
      
       - A speculative page walk that involves a bogus page table can install
         garbage in the TLB.  Such garbage would always be at a user VA, but
         some AMD CPUs have logic that triggers a machine check when it notices
         these bogus entries.  I've seen a couple reports of this.
      
      Boris further explains the failure mode:
      
      > It is actually more of an optimization which assumes that paging-structure
      > entries are in WB DRAM:
      >
      > "TlbCacheDis: cacheable memory disable. Read-write. 0=Enables

      To fix this, reinstate TLB coherence in lazy mode.  With this patch
      applied, we do it in one of two ways:
      
       - If we have PCID, we simply switch back to init_mm's page tables
         when we enter a kernel thread -- this seems to be quite cheap
         except for the cost of serializing the CPU.
      
       - If we don't have PCID, then we set a flag and switch to init_mm
         the first time we would otherwise need to flush the TLB.
      
      The /sys/kernel/debug/x86/tlb_use_lazy_mode debug switch can be changed
      to override the default mode for benchmarking.
      
      In theory, we could optimize this better by only flushing the TLB in
      lazy CPUs when a page table is freed.  Doing that would require
      auditing the mm code to make sure that all page table freeing goes
      through tlb_remove_page() as well as reworking some data structures
      to implement the improved flush logic.

      mm, swap: use page-cluster as max window of VMA based swap readahead · 61b63972
      Huang Ying authored
      When the VMA based swap readahead was introduced, a new knob
      
        /sys/kernel/mm/swap/vma_ra_max_order
      
      was added as the max window of VMA swap readahead.  This is to make it
      possible to use different max window for VMA based readahead and
      original physical readahead.  But Minchan Kim pointed out that this will
      cause a regression because setting page-cluster sysctl to zero cannot
      disable swap readahead with the change.
      
      To fix the regression, the page-cluster sysctl is used as the max window
      of both the VMA based swap readahead and original physical swap
      readahead.  If more fine grained control is needed in the future, more
      knobs can be added as the subordinate knobs of the page-cluster sysctl.
      
      The vma_ra_max_order knob is deleted.  Because the knob was introduced
      in v4.14-rc1, and this patch is targeting being merged before v4.14
      releasing, there should be no existing users of this newly added ABI.

      mm: page_vma_mapped: ensure pmd is loaded with READ_ONCE outside of lock · a7b10095
      Will Deacon authored
      Loading the pmd without holding the pmd_lock exposes us to races with
      concurrent updaters of the page tables but, worse still, it also allows
      the compiler to cache the pmd value in a register and reuse it later on,
      even if we've performed a READ_ONCE in between and seen a more recent
      value.
      
      In the case of page_vma_mapped_walk, this leads to the following crash
      when the pmd loaded for the initial pmd_trans_huge check is all zeroes
      and a subsequent valid table entry is loaded by check_pmd.  We then
      proceed into map_pte, but the compiler re-uses the zero entry inside
      pte_offset_map, resulting in a junk pointer being installed in
      pvmw->pte:
      
        PC is at check_pte+0x20/0x170
        LR is at page_vma_mapped_walk+0x2e0/0x540
        [...]
        Process doio (pid: 2463, stack limit = 0xffff00000f2e8000)
        Call trace:
          check_pte+0x20/0x170
          page_vma_mapped_walk+0x2e0/0x540
          page_mkclean_one+0xac/0x278

          ext4_writepages+0x484/0xe30

          vfs_fsync_range+0x64/0xc0
          SyS_msync+0x194/0x1e8
      
      This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that READ_ONCE is used before
      the initial checks on the pmd, and this value is subsequently used when
      checking whether or not the pmd is present.  pmd_check is removed and
      the pmd_present check is inlined directly.
