Pull spectre/meltdown updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The next round of updates related to melted spectrum:
- The initial set of spectre V1 mitigations:
- Array index speculation blocker and its usage for syscall,
fdtable and the n180211 driver.
- Speculation barrier and its usage in user access functions
- Make indirect calls in KVM speculation safe
- Blacklisting of known to be broken microcodes so IPBP/IBSR are not
touched.
- The initial IBPB support and its usage in context switch
- The exposure of the new speculation MSRs to KVM guests.
- A fix for a regression in x86/32 related to the cpu entry area
- Proper whitelisting for known to be safe CPUs from the mitigations.
- objtool fixes to deal proper with retpolines and alternatives
- Exclude __init functions from retpolines which speeds up the boot
process.
- Removal of the syscall64 fast path and related cleanups and
simplifications
- Removal of the unpatched paravirt mode which is yet another source
of indirect unproteced calls.
- A new and undisputed version of the module mismatch warning
- A couple of cleanup and correctness fixes all over the place
Yet another step towards full mitigation. There are a few things still
missing like the RBS underflow mitigation for Skylake and other small
details, but that's being worked on.
That said, I'm taking a belated christmas vacation for a week and hope
that everything is magically solved when I'm back on Feb 12th"

The TS_COMPAT bit is very hot and is accessed from code paths that mostly
also touch thread_info::flags. Move it into struct thread_info to improve
cache locality.
The only reason it was in thread_struct is that there was a brief period
during which arch-specific fields were not allowed in struct thread_info.
Linus suggested further changing:
ti->status &= ~(TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED);
to:
if (unlikely(ti->status & (TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED)))
ti->status &= ~(TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED);
on the theory that frequently dirtying the cacheline even in pure 64-bit
code that never needs to modify status hurts performance. That could be a
reasonable followup patch, but I suspect it matters less on top of this
patch.

Live patching consistency model is of LEAVE_PATCHED_SET and
SWITCH_THREAD. This means that all tasks in the system have to be marked
one by one as safe to call a new patched function. Safe means when a
task is not (sleeping) in a set of patched functions. That is, no
patched function is on the task's stack. Another clearly safe place is
the boundary between kernel and userspace. The patching waits for all
tasks to get outside of the patched set or to cross the boundary. The
transition is completed afterwards.
The problem is that a task can block the transition for quite a long
time, if not forever. It could sleep in a set of patched functions, for
example. Luckily we can force the task to leave the set by sending it a
fake signal, that is a signal with no data in signal pending structures
(no handler, no sign of proper signal delivered). Suspend/freezer use
this to freeze the tasks as well. The task gets TIF_SIGPENDING set and
is woken up (if it has been sleeping in the kernel before) or kicked by
rescheduling IPI (if it was running on other CPU). This causes the task
to go to kernel/userspace boundary where the signal would be handled and
the task would be marked as safe in terms of live patching.
There are tasks which are not affected by this technique though. The
fake signal is not sent to kthreads. They should be handled differently.
They can be woken up so they leave the patched set and their
TIF_PATCH_PENDING can be cleared thanks to stack checking.
For the sake of completeness, if the task is in TASK_RUNNING state but
not currently running on some CPU it doesn't get the IPI, but it would
eventually handle the signal anyway. Second, if the task runs in the
kernel (in TASK_RUNNING state) it gets the IPI, but the signal is not
handled on return from the interrupt. It would be handled on return to
the userspace in the future when the fake signal is sent again. Stack
checking deals with these cases in a better way.
If the task was sleeping in a syscall it would be woken by our fake
signal, it would check if TIF_SIGPENDING is set (by calling
signal_pending() predicate) and return ERESTART* or EINTR. Syscalls with
ERESTART* return values are restarted in case of the fake signal (see
do_signal()). EINTR is propagated back to the userspace program. This
could disturb the program, but...
* each process dealing with signals should react accordingly to EINTR
return values.
* syscalls returning EINTR happen to be quite common situation in the
system even if no fake signal is sent.
* freezer sends the fake signal and does not deal with EINTR anyhow.
Thus EINTR values are returned when the system is resumed.
The very safe marking is done in architectures' "entry" on syscall and
interrupt/exception exit paths, and in a stack checking functions of
livepatch. TIF_PATCH_PENDING is cleared and the next
recalc_sigpending() drops TIF_SIGPENDING. In connection with this, also
call klp_update_patch_state() before do_signal(), so that
recalc_sigpending() in dequeue_signal() can clear TIF_PATCH_PENDING
immediately and thus prevent a double call of do_signal().
Note that the fake signal is not sent to stopped/traced tasks. Such task
prevents the patching to finish till it continues again (is not traced
anymore).
Last, sending the fake signal is not automatic. It is done only when
admin requests it by writing 1 to signal sysfs attribute in livepatch
sysfs directory.

Use lockdep to check that IRQs are enabled or disabled as expected. This
way the sanity check only shows overhead when concurrency correctness
debug code is enabled.
It also makes no more sense to fix the IRQ flags when a bug is detected
as the assertion is now pure config-dependent debugging. And to quote
Peter Zijlstra:
The whole if !disabled, disable logic is uber paranoid programming,
but I don't think we've ever seen that WARN trigger, and if it does

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.
However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

// WRITE_ONCE()

Ensure the address limit is a user-mode segment before returning to
user-mode. Otherwise a process can corrupt kernel-mode memory and elevate
privileges [1].
The set_fs function sets the TIF_SETFS flag to force a slow path on
return. In the slow path, the address limit is checked to be USER_DS if
needed.
The addr_limit_user_check function is added as a cross-architecture
function to check the address limit.

Add the TIF_PATCH_PENDING thread flag to enable the new livepatch
per-task consistency model for x86_64. The bit getting set indicates
the thread has a pending patch which needs to be applied when the thread
exits the kernel.
The bit is placed in the _TIF_ALLWORK_MASK macro, which results in
exit_to_usermode_loop() calling klp_update_patch_state() when it's set.

Setting TS_COMPAT in ptrace is wrong: if we happen to do it during
syscall entry, then we'll confuse seccomp and audit. (The former
isn't a security problem: seccomp is currently entirely insecure if a
malicious ptracer is attached.) As a minimal fix, this patch adds a
new flag TS_I386_REGS_POKED that handles the ptrace special case.

enter_from_user_mode() and prepare_exit_to_usermode() are now called only with

The is_ia32_task()/is_x32_task() function names are a big misnomer: they
suggests that the compat-ness of a system call is a task property, which
is not true, the compatness of a system call purely depends on how it
was invoked through the system call layer.
A task may call 32-bit and 64-bit and x32 system calls without changing
any of its kernel visible state.
This specific minomer is also actively dangerous, as it might cause kernel
developers to use the wrong kind of security checks within system calls.
So rename it to in_{ia32,x32}_syscall().

Now that slow-path syscalls always enter C before enabling
interrupts, it's straightforward to call enter_from_user_mode() before
enabling interrupts rather than doing it as part of entry tracing.
With this change, we should finally be able to retire exception_enter().
This will also enable optimizations based on knowing that we never
change context tracking state with interrupts on.

We want all of the syscall entries to run with interrupts off so that
we can efficiently run context tracking before enabling interrupts.
This will regress int $0x80 performance on 32-bit kernels by a
couple of cycles. This shouldn't matter much -- int $0x80 is not a
fast path.
This effectively reverts:
657c1eea00 ("x86/entry/32: Fix entry_INT80_32() to expect interrupts to be on")
... and fixes the same issue differently.

Signal delivery needs to know the sign of an interrupted syscall's
return value in order to detect -ERESTART variants. Normally this
works independently of bitness because syscalls internally return
long. Under ptrace, however, this can break, and syscall_get_error
is supposed to sign-extend regs->ax if needed.
We were clearing TS_COMPAT too early, though, and this prevented
sign extension, which subtly broke syscall restart under ptrace.

This is more complicated than the 32-bit and compat cases
because it preserves an asm fast path for the case where the

If CS, SS and IP are as expected and FLAGS is compatible with
SYSRETL, then return from fast compat syscalls (both SYSCALL and
SYSENTER) using SYSRETL.
Unlike native 64-bit opportunistic SYSRET, this is not invisible
to user code: RCX and R8-R15 end up in a different state than
shown saved in pt_regs. To compensate, we only do this when
returning to the vDSO fast syscall return path. This won't
interfere with syscall restart, as we won't use SYSRETL when
returning to the INT80 restart instruction.

Linus noticed that the early return check was missing
_TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY. If the only work flag was
_TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY, we'd skip user return notifiers. Fix
it. (This is the only missing bit.)
This fixes double faults on a KVM host. It's the same issue as
last time, except that this time it's very easy to trigger.
Apparently no one uses -next as a KVM host.
( I'm still not quite sure what it is that KVM does that blows up
so badly if we miss a user return notifier. My best guess is that KVM
lets KERNEL_GS_BASE (i.e. the user's gs base) be negative and fixes
it up in a user return notifier. If we actually end up in user mode
with a negative gs base, we blow up pretty badly. )

The current x86 entry and exit code, written in a mixture of assembly and
C code, is incomprehensible due to being open-coded in a lot of places
without coherent documentation.
It appears to work primary by luck and duct tape: i.e. obvious runtime
failures were fixed on-demand, without re-thinking the design.
Due to those reasons our confidence level in that code is low, and it is
very difficult to incrementally improve.
Add new code written in C, in preparation for simply deleting the old
entry code.
prepare_exit_to_usermode() is a new function that will handle all
slow path exits to user mode. It is called with IRQs disabled
and it leaves us in a state in which it is safe to immediately
return to user mode. IRQs must not be re-enabled at any point
after prepare_exit_to_usermode() returns and user mode is actually
entered. (We can, of course, fail to enter user mode and treat
that failure as a fresh entry to kernel mode.)
All callers of do_notify_resume() will be migrated to call
prepare_exit_to_usermode() instead; prepare_exit_to_usermode() needs
to do everything that do_notify_resume() does today, but it also
takes care of scheduling and context tracking. Unlike
do_notify_resume(), it does not need to be called in a loop.
syscall_return_slowpath() is exactly what it sounds like: it will
be called on any syscall exit slow path. It will replace
syscall_trace_leave() and it calls prepare_exit_to_usermode() on the
way out.

Changing the x86 context tracking hooks is dangerous because
there are no good checks that we track our context correctly.
Add a helper to check that we're actually in CONTEXT_USER when
we enter from user mode and wire it up for syscall entries.
Subsequent patches will wire this up for all non-NMI entries as
well. NMIs are their own special beast and cannot currently
switch overall context tracking state. Instead, they have their
own special RCU hooks.
This is a tiny speedup if !CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING (removes a
branch) and a tiny slowdown if CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACING (adds a
layer of indirection). Eventually, we should fix up the core
context tracking code to supply a function that does what we
want (and can be much simpler than user_exit), which will enable
us to get rid of the extra call.

The entry and exit C helpers were confusingly scattered between

This change just moves code around. It doesn't change anything.
