The update of the TIF_SSBD flag and the conditional speculation control MSR update is done in the ssb_prctl_set() function directly. The upcoming prctl support for controlling indirect branch speculation via STIBP needs the same mechanism. Split the code out and make it reusable. Reword the comment about updates for other tasks.

The IBPB speculation barrier is issued from switch_mm() when the kernel switches to a user space task with a different mm than the user space task which ran last on the same CPU. An additional optimization is to avoid IBPB when the incoming task can be ptraced by the outgoing task. This optimization only works when switching directly between two user space tasks. When switching from a kernel task to a user space task the optimization fails because the previous task cannot be accessed anymore. So for quite some scenarios the optimization is just adding overhead. The upcoming conditional IBPB support will issue IBPB only for user space tasks which have the TIF_SPEC_IB bit set. This requires to handle the following cases: 1) Switch from a user space task (potential attacker) which has TIF_SPEC_IB set to a user space task (potential victim) which has TIF_SPEC_IB not set. 2) Switch from a user space task (potential attacker) which has TIF_SPEC_IB not set to a user space task (potential victim) which has TIF_SPEC_IB set. This needs to be optimized for the case where the IBPB can be avoided when only kernel threads ran in between user space tasks which belong to the same process. The current check whether two tasks belong to the same context is using the tasks context id. While correct, it's simpler to use the mm pointer because it allows to mangle the TIF_SPEC_IB bit into it. The context id based mechanism requires extra storage, which creates worse code. When a task is scheduled out its TIF_SPEC_IB bit is mangled as bit 0 into the per CPU storage which is used to track the last user space mm which was running on a CPU. This bit can be used together with the TIF_SPEC_IB bit of the incoming task to make the decision whether IBPB needs to be issued or not to cover the two cases above. As conditional IBPB is going to be the default, remove the dubious ptrace check for the IBPB always case and simply issue IBPB always when the process changes. Move the storage to a different place in the struct as the original one created a hole. Signed-off-by:

The TIF_SPEC_IB bit does not need to be evaluated in the decision to invoke __switch_to_xtra() when: - CONFIG_SMP is disabled - The conditional STIPB mode is disabled The TIF_SPEC_IB bit still controls IBPB in both cases so the TIF work mask checks might invoke __switch_to_xtra() for nothing if TIF_SPEC_IB is the only set bit in the work masks. Optimize it out by masking the bit at compile time for CONFIG_SMP=n and at run time when the static key controlling the conditional STIBP mode is disabled. Signed-off-by:

Move the conditional invocation of __switch_to_xtra() into an inline function so the logic can be shared between 32 and 64 bit. Remove the handthrough of the TSS pointer and retrieve the pointer directly in the bitmap handling function. Use this_cpu_ptr() instead of the per_cpu() indirection. This is a preparatory change so integration of conditional indirect branch speculation optimization happens only in one place. Signed-off-by:

To avoid the overhead of STIBP always on, it's necessary to allow per task control of STIBP. Add a new task flag TIF_SPEC_IB and evaluate it during context switch if SMT is active and flag evaluation is enabled by the speculation control code. Add the conditional evaluation to x86_virt_spec_ctrl() as well so the guest/host switch works properly. This has no effect because TIF_SPEC_IB cannot be set yet and the static key which controls evaluation is off. Preparatory patch for adding the control code. [ tglx: Simplify the context switch logic and make the TIF evaluation depend on SMP=y and on the static key controlling the conditional update. Rename it to TIF_SPEC_IB because it controls both STIBP and IBPB ] Signed-off-by:

arch_smt_update() is only called when the sysfs SMT control knob is changed. This means that when SMT is enabled in the sysfs control knob the system is considered to have SMT active even if all siblings are offline. To allow finegrained control of the speculation mitigations, the actual SMT state is more interesting than the fact that siblings could be enabled. Rework the code, so arch_smt_update() is invoked from each individual CPU hotplug function, and simplify the update function while at it. Signed-off-by:

CONFIG_SCHED_SMT is enabled by all distros, so there is not a real point to have it configurable. The runtime overhead in the core scheduler code is minimal because the actual SMT scheduling parts are conditional on a static key. This allows to expose the scheduler's SMT state static key to the speculation control code. Alternatively the scheduler's static key could be made always available when CONFIG_SMP is enabled, but that's just adding an unused static key to every other architecture for nothing. Signed-off-by:

During context switch, the SSBD bit in SPEC_CTRL MSR is updated according to changes of the TIF_SSBD flag in the current and next running task. Currently, only the bit controlling speculative store bypass disable in SPEC_CTRL MSR is updated and the related update functions all have "speculative_store" or "ssb" in their names. For enhanced mitigation control other bits in SPEC_CTRL MSR need to be updated as well, which makes the SSB names inadequate. Rename the "speculative_store*" functions to a more generic name.

Move the conditionals for STIBP and IBPB string selection into helper functions, so they can be extended later on. Signed-off-by:

Marcin Juszkiewicz reported issues while generating syscall table for riscv using 4.20-rc1. The patch refactors our unistd.h files to match some other architectures. - Add asm/unistd.h UAPI header, which has __ARCH_WANT_NEW_STAT only for 64-bit - Remove asm/syscalls.h UAPI header and merge to asm/unistd.h - Adjust kernel asm/unistd.h So now asm/unistd.h UAPI header should show all syscalls for riscv. Before this, Makefile simply put `#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>` into generated asm/unistd.h UAPI header thus user didn't see: - __NR_riscv_flush_icache - __NR_newfstatat - __NR_fstat which are supported by riscv kernel.

This patch extends Linux RISC-V build system to build and install: Image - Flat uncompressed kernel image Image.gz - Flat and GZip compressed kernel image Quiet a few bootloaders (such as Uboot, UEFI, etc) are capable of booting flat and compressed kernel images. In case of Uboot, booting Image or Image.gz is achieved using bootm command. The flat and uncompressed kernel image (i.e. Image) is very useful in pre-silicon developent and testing because we can create back-door HEX files for RAM on FPGAs from Image. Signed-off-by:

Both the Loongson3 & SGI-IP27 platforms set max_low_pfn to the last available PFN describing memory. They both do it in paging_init() which is later than ideal since max_low_pfn is used before that function is called. Simplify both platforms to trivially initialize max_low_pfn using the end address of DRAM, and do it earlier in prom_meminit(). Signed-off-by:

The new memory EFI reservation feature we introduced to allow memory reservations to persist across kexec may trigger an unbounded number of calls to memblock_reserve(). The memblock subsystem can deal with this fine, but not before memblock resizing is enabled, which we can only do after paging_init(), when the memory we reallocate the array into is actually mapped. So break out the memreserve table processing into a separate routine and call it after paging_init() on arm64. On ARM, because of limited reviewing bandwidth of the maintainer, we cannot currently fix this, so instead, disable the EFI persistent memreserve entirely on ARM so we can fix it later. Tested-by:

Commit 4c2de74c ("powerpc/64: Interrupts save PPR on stack rather than thread_struct") changed sizeof(struct pt_regs) % 16 from 0 to 8, which causes the interrupt frame allocation on kernel entry to put the kernel stack out of alignment. Quadword (16-byte) alignment for the stack is required by both the 64-bit v1 ABI (v1.9 § 3.2.2) and the 64-bit v2 ABI (v1.1 § 2.2.2.1). Add a pad field to fix alignment, and add a BUILD_BUG_ON to catch this in future. Fixes: 4c2de74c ("powerpc/64: Interrupts save PPR on stack rather than thread_struct") Signed-off-by:

The bootloader may pass physical address of the boot parameters structure to the MMUv3 kernel in the register a2. Code in the _SetupMMU block in the arch/xtensa/kernel/head.S is supposed to map that physical address to the virtual address in the configured virtual memory layout. This code haven't been updated when additional 256+256 and 512+512 memory layouts were introduced and it may produce wrong addresses when used with these layouts.
