Sean Christopherson 540745ddbc x86/sgx: Introduce virtual EPC for use by KVM guests
Add a misc device /dev/sgx_vepc to allow userspace to allocate "raw"
Enclave Page Cache (EPC) without an associated enclave. The intended
and only known use case for raw EPC allocation is to expose EPC to a
KVM guest, hence the 'vepc' moniker, virt.{c,h} files and X86_SGX_KVM
Kconfig.

The SGX driver uses the misc device /dev/sgx_enclave to support
userspace in creating an enclave. Each file descriptor returned from
opening /dev/sgx_enclave represents an enclave. Unlike the SGX driver,
KVM doesn't control how the guest uses the EPC, therefore EPC allocated
to a KVM guest is not associated with an enclave, and /dev/sgx_enclave
is not suitable for allocating EPC for a KVM guest.

Having separate device nodes for the SGX driver and KVM virtual EPC also
allows separate permission control for running host SGX enclaves and KVM
SGX guests.

To use /dev/sgx_vepc to allocate a virtual EPC instance with particular
size, the hypervisor opens /dev/sgx_vepc, and uses mmap() with the
intended size to get an address range of virtual EPC. Then it may use
the address range to create one KVM memory slot as virtual EPC for
a guest.

Implement the "raw" EPC allocation in the x86 core-SGX subsystem via
/dev/sgx_vepc rather than in KVM. Doing so has two major advantages:

  - Does not require changes to KVM's uAPI, e.g. EPC gets handled as
    just another memory backend for guests.

  - EPC management is wholly contained in the SGX subsystem, e.g. SGX
    does not have to export any symbols, changes to reclaim flows don't
    need to be routed through KVM, SGX's dirty laundry doesn't have to
    get aired out for the world to see, and so on and so forth.

The virtual EPC pages allocated to guests are currently not reclaimable.
Reclaiming an EPC page used by enclave requires a special reclaim
mechanism separate from normal page reclaim, and that mechanism is not
supported for virutal EPC pages. Due to the complications of handling
reclaim conflicts between guest and host, reclaiming virtual EPC pages
is significantly more complex than basic support for SGX virtualization.

Kai Huang b0c7459be0 x86/sgx: Wipe out EREMOVE from sgx_free_epc_page()
EREMOVE takes a page and removes any association between that page and
an enclave. It must be run on a page before it can be added into another
enclave. Currently, EREMOVE is run as part of pages being freed into the
SGX page allocator. It is not expected to fail, as it would indicate a
use-after-free of EPC pages. Rather than add the page back to the pool
of available EPC pages, the kernel intentionally leaks the page to avoid
additional errors in the future.

However, KVM does not track how guest pages are used, which means that
SGX virtualization use of EREMOVE might fail. Specifically, it is
legitimate that EREMOVE returns SGX_CHILD_PRESENT for EPC assigned to
KVM guest, because KVM/kernel doesn't track SECS pages.

To allow SGX/KVM to introduce a more permissive EREMOVE helper and
to let the SGX virtualization code use the allocator directly, break
out the EREMOVE call from the SGX page allocator. Rename the original
sgx_free_epc_page() to sgx_encl_free_epc_page(), indicating that
it is used to free an EPC page assigned to a host enclave. Replace
sgx_free_epc_page() with sgx_encl_free_epc_page() in all call sites so
there's no functional change.

At the same time, improve the error message when EREMOVE fails, and
add documentation to explain to the user what that failure means and
to suggest to the user what to do when this bug happens in the case it
happens.

Yazen Ghannam 028c221ed1 x86/CPU/AMD: Save AMD NodeId as cpu_die_id
AMD systems provide a "NodeId" value that represents a global ID
indicating to which "Node" a logical CPU belongs. The "Node" is a
physical structure equivalent to a Die, and it should not be confused
with logical structures like NUMA nodes. Logical nodes can be adjusted
based on firmware or other settings whereas the physical nodes/dies are
fixed based on hardware topology.

The NodeId value can be used when a physical ID is needed by software.

Save the AMD NodeId to struct cpuinfo_x86.cpu_die_id. Use the value
from CPUID or MSR as appropriate. Default to phys_proc_id otherwise.
Do so for both AMD and Hygon systems.

Drop the node_id parameter from cacheinfo_*_init_llc_id() as it is no
longer needed.

Update the x86 topology documentation.

in documented in erratum SKX99, erratum BDF102 and in the RDT reference

To work around the errata, MBM total and local readings are corrected
using a correction factor table.

Since the correction factor table is not publicly documented anywhere,

Rob Herring 441848282c dt: Remove booting-without-of.rst
booting-without-of.rst is an ancient document that first outlined
Flattened DeviceTree on PowerPC initially. The DT world has evolved a
lot in the 15 years since and booting-without-of.rst is pretty stale.
The name of the document itself is confusing if you don't understand the
evolution from real 'OpenFirmware'. Most of what booting-without-of.rst
contains is now in the DT specification (which evolved out of the
ePAPR). The few things that weren't documented in the DT specification
are now.

All that remains is the boot entry details, so let's move these to arch
specific documents. The exception is arm which already has the same
details documented.

/proc/cpuinfo shows features which the kernel supports. Some of these
flags are derived from CPUID, and others are derived from other sources,
including some that are entirely software-based. Currently, there is
not any documentation in the kernel about how /proc/cpuinfo flags are
generated and what it means when they are missing.

Add documentation for /proc/cpuinfo feature flags enumeration.
Document how and when x86 feature flags are used. Also discuss what
their presence or absence mean for the kernel and users.

Fenghua Yu 29b6bd41ee x86/resctrl: Enable user to view thread or core throttling mode
Early Intel hardware implementations of Memory Bandwidth Allocation (MBA)
could only control bandwidth at the processor core level. This meant that
when two processes with different bandwidth allocations ran simultaneously
on the same core the hardware had to resolve this difference. It did so by
applying the higher throttling value (lower bandwidth) to both processes.

Newer implementations can apply different throttling values to each
thread on a core.

Introduce a new resctrl file, "thread_throttle_mode", on Intel systems
that shows to the user how throttling values are allocated, per-core or
per-thread.

On systems that support per-core throttling, the file will display "max".
On newer systems that support per-thread throttling, the file will display
"per-thread".

AMD confirmed in [1] that AMD bandwidth allocation is already at thread
level but that the AMD implementation does not use a memory delay
throttle mode. So to avoid confusion the thread throttling mode would be
UNDEFINED on AMD systems and the "thread_throttle_mode" file will not be
visible.

Linus Torvalds 4da9f33026 Support for FSGSBASE. Almost 5 years after the first RFC to support it,
this has been brought into a shape which is maintainable and actually
 works.
 
 This final version was done by Sasha Levin who took it up after Intel
 dropped the ball. Sasha discovered that the SGX (sic!) offerings out there
 ship rogue kernel modules enabling FSGSBASE behind the kernels back which
 opens an instantanious unpriviledged root hole.
 
 The FSGSBASE instructions provide a considerable speedup of the context
 switch path and enable user space to write GSBASE without kernel
 interaction. This enablement requires careful handling of the exception
 entries which go through the paranoid entry path as they cannot longer rely
 on the assumption that user GSBASE is positive (as enforced via prctl() on
 non FSGSBASE enabled systemn). All other entries (syscalls, interrupts and
 exceptions) can still just utilize SWAPGS unconditionally when the entry
 comes from user space. Converting these entries to use FSGSBASE has no
 benefit as SWAPGS is only marginally slower than WRGSBASE and locating and
 retrieving the kernel GSBASE value is not a free operation either. The real
 benefit of RD/WRGSBASE is the avoidance of the MSR reads and writes.
 
 The changes come with appropriate selftests and have held up in field
 testing against the (sanitized) Graphene-SGX driver.

Nick Terrell fb46d057db x86: Add support for ZSTD compressed kernel
- Add support for zstd compressed kernel

- Define __DISABLE_EXPORTS in Makefile

- Remove __DISABLE_EXPORTS definition from kaslr.c

- Bump the heap size for zstd.

- Update the documentation.

Integrates the ZSTD decompression code to the x86 pre-boot code.

Zstandard requires slightly more memory during the kernel decompression
on x86 (192 KB vs 64 KB), and the memory usage is independent of the
window size.

__DISABLE_EXPORTS is now defined in the Makefile, which covers both
the existing use in kaslr.c, and the use needed by the zstd decompressor
in misc.c.

This patch has been boot tested with both a zstd and gzip compressed
kernel on i386 and x86_64 using buildroot and QEMU.

Additionally, this has been tested in production on x86_64 devices.
We saw a 2 second boot time reduction by switching kernel compression
from xz to zstd.

Ard Biesheuvel 8b84769a7a Documentation/x86, efi/x86: Clarify EFI handover protocol and its requirements
The EFI handover protocol was introduced on x86 to permit the boot
loader to pass a populated boot_params structure as an additional
function argument to the entry point. This allows the bootloader to
pass the base and size of a initrd image, which is more flexible
than relying on the EFI stub's file I/O routines, which can only
access the file system from which the kernel image itself was loaded
from firmware.

This approach requires a fair amount of internal knowledge regarding
the layout of the boot_params structure on the part of the boot loader,
as well as knowledge regarding the allowed placement of the initrd in
memory, and so it has been deprecated in favour of a new initrd loading
method that is based on existing UEFI protocols and best practices.

So update the x86 boot protocol documentation to clarify that the EFI
handover protocol has been deprecated, and while at it, add a note that
invoking the EFI handover protocol still requires the PE/COFF image to
be loaded properly (as opposed to simply being copied into memory).
Also, drop the code32_start header field from the list of values that
need to be provided, as this is no longer required.

Linus Torvalds a776c270a0 Merge branch 'efi-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The EFI changes in this cycle are much larger than usual, for two
  (positive) reasons:

   - The GRUB project is showing signs of life again, resulting in the
     introduction of the generic Linux/UEFI boot protocol, instead of
     x86 specific hacks which are increasingly difficult to maintain.
     There's hope that all future extensions will now go through that
     boot protocol.

   - Preparatory work for RISC-V EFI support.

  The main changes are:

   - Boot time GDT handling changes

   - Simplify handling of EFI properties table on arm64

   - Generic EFI stub cleanups, to improve command line handling, file
     I/O, memory allocation, etc.

   - Introduce a generic initrd loading method based on calling back
     into the firmware, instead of relying on the x86 EFI handover
     protocol or device tree.

   - Introduce a mixed mode boot method that does not rely on the x86
     EFI handover protocol either, and could potentially be adopted by
     other architectures (if another one ever surfaces where one
     execution mode is a superset of another)

   - Clean up the contents of 'struct efi', and move out everything that
     doesn't need to be stored there.

   - Incorporate support for UEFI spec v2.8A changes that permit
     firmware implementations to return EFI_UNSUPPORTED from UEFI
     runtime services at OS runtime, and expose a mask of which ones are
     supported or unsupported via a configuration table.

   - Partial fix for the lack of by-VA cache maintenance in the
     decompressor on 32-bit ARM.

   - Changes to load device firmware from EFI boot service memory
     regions

   - Various documentation updates and minor code cleanups and fixes"

The exception tables and fixup tables use a commonly recurring pattern
in the kernel of storing the address of labels as date in custom ELF
sections, then finding these sections, iterating elements within them,
and possibly revisiting them or modifying the data at these addresses.

Sorting readonly arrays to minimize runtime penalties is quite clever.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab c44166fe5f docs: prevent warnings due to autosectionlabel
Changeset 58ad30cf91 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst")
enabled a new feature at Sphinx: it will now generate index for each
document title, plus to each chapter inside it.

There's a drawback, though: one document cannot have two sections
with the same name anymore.

A followup patch will change the logic of autosectionlabel to
avoid most creating references for every single section title,
but still we need to be able to reference the chapters inside
a document.

There are a few places where there are two chapters with the
same name. This patch renames one of the chapters, in order to
avoid symbol conflict within the same document.

PS.: as I don't speach Chinese, I had some help from a friend
(Wen Liu) at the Chinese translation for "publishing patches"
for this document:

Linus Torvalds ccaaaf6fe5 MPX requires recompiling applications, which requires compiler support.
Unfortunately, GCC 9.1 is expected to be be released without support for
 MPX.  This means that there was only a relatively small window where
 folks could have ever used MPX.  It failed to gain wide adoption in the
 industry, and Linux was the only mainstream OS to ever support it widely.

Merge tag 'mpx-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/daveh/x86-mpx

Pull x86 MPX removal from Dave Hansen:
 "MPX requires recompiling applications, which requires compiler
  support. Unfortunately, GCC 9.1 is expected to be be released without
  support for MPX. This means that there was only a relatively small
  window where folks could have ever used MPX. It failed to gain wide
  adoption in the industry, and Linux was the only mainstream OS to ever
  support it widely.

  Support for the feature may also disappear on future processors.

  This set completes the process that we started during the 5.4 merge
  window when the MPX prctl()s were removed. XSAVE support is left in
  place, which allows MPX-using KVM guests to continue to function"

Linus Torvalds 05ef8b97dd It has been a relatively quiet cycle for documentation, but there's still a
couple of things of note:
 
  - Conversion of the NFS documentation to RST
 
  - A new document on how to help with documentation (and a maintainer
    profile entry too)
 
 Plus the usual collection of typo fixes, etc.

Dave Hansen 45fc24e89b x86/mpx: remove MPX from arch/x86
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

MPX is being removed from the kernel due to a lack of support
in the toolchain going forward (gcc).

This removes all the remaining (dead at this point) MPX handling
code remaining in the tree.  The only remaining code is the XSAVE
support for MPX state which is currently needd for KVM to handle
VMs which might use MPX.
