Intel CPUs having Turbo Boost feature implement an MSR to provide a
control interface via rdmsr/wrmsr instructions. One could detect the
presence of this feature by issuing one of these instructions and
handling the #GP exception which is generated in case the referenced MSR
is not implemented by the CPU.
KVM's vCPU model behaves exactly as a real CPU in this case by injecting
a fault when MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL is called (which KVM does not support).
However, some operating systems use this register during an early boot
stage in which their kernel is not capable of handling #GP correctly,
causing #DP and finally a triple fault effectively resetting the vCPU.
This patch implements a dummy handler for MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL to avoid the
crashes.

In theory, nothing prevents the compiler from write-tearing PTEs, or
split PTE writes. These partially-modified PTEs can be fetched by other
cores and cause mayhem. I have not really encountered such case in
real-life, but it does seem possible.
For example, the compiler may try to do something creative for
kvm_set_pte_rmapp() and perform multiple writes to the PTE.

The do_brk() and vm_brk() return value was "unsigned long" and returned
the starting address on success, and an error value on failure. The
reasons are entirely historical, and go back to it basically behaving
like the mmap() interface does.
However, nobody actually wanted that interface, and it causes totally
pointless IS_ERR_VALUE() confusion.
What every single caller actually wants is just the simpler integer
return of zero for success and negative error number on failure.
So just convert to that much clearer and more common calling convention,
and get rid of all the IS_ERR_VALUE() uses wrt vm_brk().

This patch adds the Power Management Controller driver as a PCI driver
for Intel Core SoC architecture.
This driver can utilize debugging capabilities and supported features
as exposed by the Power Management Controller.
Please refer to the below specification for more details on PMC features.
http://www.intel.in/content/www/in/en/chipsets/100-series-chipset-datasheet-vol-2.html
The current version of this driver exposes SLP_S0_RESIDENCY counter.
This counter can be used for detecting fragile SLP_S0 signal related
failures and take corrective actions when PCH SLP_S0 signal is not
asserted after kernel freeze as part of suspend to idle flow
(echo freeze > /sys/power/state).
Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH) asserts SLP_S0 signal when it
detects favorable conditions to enter its low power mode. As a
pre-requisite the SoC should be in deepest possible Package C-State
and devices should be in low power mode. For example, on Skylake SoC
the deepest Package C-State is Package C10 or PC10. Suspend to idle
flow generally leads to PC10 state but PC10 state may not be sufficient
for realizing the platform wide power potential which SLP_S0 signal
assertion can provide.
SLP_S0 signal is often connected to the Embedded Controller (EC) and the
Power Management IC (PMIC) for other platform power management related
optimizations.
In general, SLP_S0 assertion == PC10 + PCH low power mode + ModPhy Lanes
power gated + PLL Idle.
As part of this driver, a mechanism to read the SLP_S0_RESIDENCY is exposed
as an API and also debugfs features are added to indicate SLP_S0 signal
assertion residency in microseconds.

The function to update APICv on/off state (in particular, to deactivate
it when enabling Hyper-V SynIC) is incomplete: it doesn't adjust
APICv-related fields among secondary processor-based VM-execution
controls. As a result, Windows 2012 guests get stuck when SynIC-based
auto-EOI interrupt intersected with e.g. an IPI in the guest.
In addition, the MSR intercept bitmap isn't updated every time "virtualize
x2APIC mode" is toggled. This path can only be triggered by a malicious
guest, because Windows didn't use x2APIC but rather their own synthetic
APIC access MSRs; however a guest running in a SynIC-enabled VM could
switch to x2APIC and thus obtain direct access to host APIC MSRs
(CVE-2016-4440).
The patch fixes those omissions.

On slow platforms with unreliable TSC, such as QEMU emulated machines,
it is possible for the kernel to request the next event in the past. In
that case, in the current implementation of xen_vcpuop_clockevent, we
simply return -ETIME. To be precise the Xen returns -ETIME and we pass
it on. However the result of this is a missed event, which simply causes
the kernel to hang.
Instead it is better to always ask the hypervisor for a timer event,
even if the timeout is in the past. That way there are no lost
interrupts and the kernel survives. To do that, remove the
VCPU_SSHOTTMR_future flag.

vm_brk is allowed to fail but load_aout_binary simply ignores the error
and happily continues. I haven't noticed any problem from that in real
life but later patches will make the failure more likely because vm_brk
will become killable (resp. mmap_sem for write waiting will become
killable) so we should be more careful now.
The error handling should be quite straightforward because there are
calls to vm_mmap which check the error properly already. The only
notable exception is set_brk which is called after beyond_if label. But
nothing indicates that we cannot move it above set_binfmt as the two do
not depend on each other and fail before we do set_binfmt and alter
reference counting.

2) Soumya PN sent me a clean up patch to not disable interrupts when

that lock is never taken for write in irq context.
3) Newer gcc's can cause the jump in the function_graph code to the

As that jump is dynamically converted to jump to the trace code to
do function graph tracing, and that conversion expects a long jump
it can corrupt the ftrace_stub itself (it's directly after that call).
One way to prevent gcc from using a short jump is to declare the
ftrace_stub as a weak function, which we do here to keep gcc from
optimizing too much.

This patch extends save_fp_registers() and restore_fp_registers() to use
PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET with the XSTATE note type, adding
support for new processor state extensions between context switches.
When the new ptrace requests are unavailable, it falls back to the old
PTRACE_GETFPREGS and PTRACE_SETFPREGS methods, which have been renamed to
save_i387_registers() and restore_i387_registers().
Now these functions expect *fp_regs to have the space of an _xstate struct.
Thus, this also makes ptrace in UML responde to PTRACE_GETFPREGS/_SETFPREG
requests with a user_i387_struct (thus independent from HOST_FP_SIZE), and
by calling save_i387_registers() and restore_i387_registers() instead of
the extended save_fp_registers() and restore_fp_registers() functions.

Commit b3c1be1b78 ("base: isa: Remove X86_32 dependency") made ISA
support available on x86-64 too. That's not right - while there are
some LPC-style devices that might be useful still and be based on
ISA-like IP blocks, that is *not* an excuse to try to enable any random
legacy drivers.
Such drivers should be individually enabled and made to perhaps depend
on ISA_DMA_API instead (which we have continued to support on x86-64).
Or we could add another "ISA_XYZ_API" that we support that doesn't
enable random old drivers that aren't even 64-bit clean nor do we have
any test coverage for.
Turning off ISA will now also turn off some drivers that have been
marked as depending on it as part of this series, and that used to work
on modern platforms.
See for example commits ad7afc38eab3..cc736607c86d, which may also need
to be reverted.
This commit means that the warnings that came in due to enabling ISA
widely are now gone again.

Here's the "big" driver core update for 4.7-rc1.
Mostly just debugfs changes, the long-known and messy races with removing
debugfs files should be fixed thanks to the great work of Nicolai Stange. We
also have some isa updates in here (the x86 maintainers told me to take it
through this tree), a new warning when we run out of dynamic char major
numbers, and a few other assorted changes, details in the shortlog.
All have been in linux-next for some time with no reported issues.

printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI
context.
The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from
all CPUs. This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the
commit a9edc88093 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all
CPUs").
The patchset brings two big advantages. First, it makes the NMI
backtraces safe on all architectures for free. Second, it makes all NMI
messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is
limited. We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at
minimum).
Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context:
WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE
handlers. These are not easy to avoid.
This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic. It is useful
for all messages and architectures that support NMI.
The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when
leaving NMI context. It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the
main ring buffer in a safe context.
__printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer.
Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with
writers. There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other
flushers.
We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock. It
would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use.
It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe.
The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven
Rostedt. It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on
architectures that call nmi_enter(). This is achieved by the new
HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag.
The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures. We need to clean up NMI
handling there first. Let's do it separately.
The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see

Exchange between user and kernel memory is coded in assembly language.
Which means that such accesses won't be spotted by KASAN as a compiler
instruments only C code.
Add explicit KASAN checks to user memory access API to ensure that
userspace writes to (or reads from) a valid kernel memory.
Note: Unlike others strncpy_from_user() is written mostly in C and KASAN
sees memory accesses in it. However, it makes sense to add explicit
check for all @count bytes that *potentially* could be written to the
kernel.

Matt Fleming reported seeing crashes when enabling and disabling
function profiling which uses function graph tracer. Later Namhyung Kim
hit a similar issue and he found that the issue was due to the jmp to
ftrace_stub in ftrace_graph_call was only two bytes, and when it was
changed to jump to the tracing code, it overwrote the ftrace_stub that
was after it.
Masami Hiramatsu bisected this down to a binutils change:

Add -mshared option to x86 ELF assembler
This patch adds -mshared option to x86 ELF assembler. By default,
assembler will optimize out non-PLT relocations against defined non-weak
global branch targets with default visibility. The -mshared option tells
the assembler to generate code which may go into a shared library
where all non-weak global branch targets with default visibility can
be preempted. The resulting code is slightly bigger. This option
only affects the handling of branch instructions.
Declaring ftrace_stub as a weak call prevents gas from using two byte
jumps to it, which would be converted to a jump to the function graph
code.

This erratum essentially causes the CPU to forget which privilege
level it is operating on (kernel vs. user) for the purposes of MPX.
This erratum can only be triggered when a system is not using
Supervisor Mode Execution Prevention (SMEP). Our workaround for
the erratum is to ensure that MPX can only be used in cases where
SMEP is present in the processor and is enabled.
This erratum only affects Core processors. Atom is unaffected.
But, there is no architectural way to determine Atom vs. Core.
So, we just apply this workaround to all processors. It's
possible that it will mistakenly disable MPX on some Atom
processsors or future unaffected Core processors. There are
currently no processors that have MPX and not SMEP. It would
take something akin to a hypervisor masking SMEP out on an Atom
processor for this to present itself on current hardware.
More details can be found at:
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/desktop-6th-gen-core-family-spec-update.pdf
"
SKD046 Branch Instructions May Initialize MPX Bound Registers Incorrectly
Problem:
Depending on the current Intel MPX (Memory Protection
Extensions) configuration, execution of certain branch
instructions (near CALL, near RET, near JMP, and Jcc
instructions) without a BND prefix (F2H) initialize the MPX bound
registers. Due to this erratum, such a branch instruction that is
executed both with CPL = 3 and with CPL < 3 may not use the
correct MPX configuration register (BNDCFGU or BNDCFGS,
respectively) for determining whether to initialize the bound
registers; it may thus initialize the bound registers when it
should not, or fail to initialize them when it should.
Implication:
A branch instruction that has executed both in user mode and in
supervisor mode (from the same linear address) may cause a #BR
(bound range fault) when it should not have or may not cause a
#BR when it should have. Workaround An operating system can
avoid this erratum by setting CR4.SMEP[bit 20] to enable
supervisor-mode execution prevention (SMEP). When SMEP is
enabled, no code can be executed both with CPL = 3 and with CPL < 3.

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160516' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible changes:
- Honour the kernel.perf_event_max_stack knob more precisely by not counting
PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER} when deciding when to stop adding entries to
the perf_sample->ip_callchain[] array (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Fix identation of 'stalled-backend-cycles' in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim)
- Update runtime using 'cpu-clock' event in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim)
- Use 'cpu-clock' for cpu targets in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim)
- Avoid fractional digits for integer scales in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)
- Store vdso buildid unconditionally, as it appears in callchains and
we're not checking those when creating the build-id table, so we
end up not being able to resolve VDSO symbols when doing analysis
on a different machine than the one where recording was done, possibly
of a different arch even (arm -> x86_64) (He Kuang)
Infrastructure changes:
- Generalize max_stack sysctl handler, will be used for configuring
multiple kernel knobs related to callchains (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Cleanups:
- Introduce DSO__NAME_KALLSYMS and DSO__NAME_KCORE, to stop using
open coded strings (Masami Hiramatsu)

I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage()
is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only
builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when
not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong
answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if
called later (but so far it has not been called later).
Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible
default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those
arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default,
adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to
those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at
runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code
should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's
called).

Lots of code does
node = next_node(node, XXX);
if (node == MAX_NUMNODES)
node = first_node(XXX);
so create next_node_in() to do this and use it in various places.
