Intel's Quark X1000 SoC contains a set of registers called
Isolated Memory Regions. IMRs are accessed over the IOSF mailbox
interface. IMRs are areas carved out of memory that define
read/write access rights to the various system agents within the
Quark system. For a given agent in the system it is possible to
specify if that agent may read or write an area of memory
defined by an IMR with a granularity of 1 KiB.
Quark_SecureBootPRM_330234_001.pdf section 4.5 details the
concept of IMRs quark-x1000-datasheet.pdf section 12.7.4 details
the implementation of IMRs in silicon.
eSRAM flush, CPU Snoop write-only, CPU SMM Mode, CPU non-SMM
mode, RMU and PCIe Virtual Channels (VC0 and VC1) can have
individual read/write access masks applied to them for a given
memory region in Quark X1000. This enables IMRs to treat each
memory transaction type listed above on an individual basis and
to filter appropriately based on the IMR access mask for the
memory region. Quark supports eight IMRs.
Since all of the DMA capable SoC components in the X1000 are
mapped to VC0 it is possible to define sections of memory as
invalid for DMA write operations originating from Ethernet, USB,
SD and any other DMA capable south-cluster component on VC0.
Similarly it is possible to mark kernel memory as non-SMM mode
read/write only or to mark BIOS runtime memory as SMM mode
accessible only depending on the particular memory footprint on
a given system.
On an IMR violation Quark SoC X1000 systems are configured to
reset the system, so ensuring that the IMR memory map is
consistent with the EFI provided memory map is critical to
ensure no IMR violations reset the system.
The API for accessing IMRs is based on MTRR code but doesn't
provide a /proc or /sys interface to manipulate IMRs. Defining
the size and extent of IMRs is exclusively the domain of
in-kernel code.
Quark firmware sets up a series of locked IMRs around pieces of
memory that firmware owns such as ACPI runtime data. During boot
a series of unlocked IMRs are placed around items in memory to
guarantee no DMA modification of those items can take place.
Grub also places an unlocked IMR around the kernel boot params
data structure and compressed kernel image. It is necessary for
the kernel to tear down all unlocked IMRs in order to ensure
that the kernel's view of memory passed via the EFI memory map
is consistent with the IMR memory map. Without tearing down all
unlocked IMRs on boot transitory IMRs such as those used to
protect the compressed kernel image will cause IMR violations and system reboots.
The IMR init code tears down all unlocked IMRs and sets a
protective IMR around the kernel .text and .rodata as one
contiguous block. This sanitizes the IMR memory map with respect
to the EFI memory map and protects the read-only portions of the
kernel from unwarranted DMA access.

The major highlight this release is a refactoring of the core to allow
us to run synchronous transfers in the context of the caller when there
is no contention for the bus. This improves performance in the very
common case by eliminating context switches and reducing the number of
hardware setup and teardown operations we need to perform.
Other changes:
- New drivers for DLN-2 USB-SPI adapter and ST SPI controllers.
- A big round of cleanups, performance and feature improvements
for the xilinx driver from Ricardo Ribalda Delgado.
- A wide range of smaller cleanups, fixes and feature improvements
throughout the subsystem.

We used to optimize rescheduling and audit on syscall exit. Now
that the full slow path is reasonably fast, remove these
optimizations. Syscall exit auditing is now handled exclusively by
syscall_trace_leave.
This adds something like 10ns to the previously optimized paths on
my computer, presumably due mostly to SAVE_REST / RESTORE_REST.
I think that we should eventually replace both the syscall and
non-paranoid interrupt exit slow paths with a pair of C functions
along the lines of the syscall entry hooks.

The x86_64 entry code currently jumps through complex and
inconsistent hoops to try to minimize the impact of syscall exit
work. For a true fast-path syscall, almost nothing needs to be
done, so returning is just a check for exit work and sysret. For a
full slow-path return from a syscall, the C exit hook is invoked if
needed and we join the iret path.
Using iret to return to userspace is very slow, so the entry code
has accumulated various special cases to try to do certain forms of
exit work without invoking iret. This is error-prone, since it
duplicates assembly code paths, and it's dangerous, since sysret
can malfunction in interesting ways if used carelessly. It's
also inefficient, since a lot of useful cases aren't optimized
and therefore force an iret out of a combination of paranoia and
the fact that no one has bothered to write even more asm code
to avoid it.
I would argue that this approach is backwards. Rather than trying
to avoid the iret path, we should instead try to make the iret path
fast. Under a specific set of conditions, iret is unnecessary. In
particular, if RIP==RCX, RFLAGS==R11, RIP is canonical, RF is not
set, and both SS and CS are as expected, then
movq 32(%rsp),%rsp;sysret does the same thing as iret. This set of
conditions is nearly always satisfied on return from syscalls, and
it can even occasionally be satisfied on return from an irq.
Even with the careful checks for sysret applicability, this cuts
nearly 80ns off of the overhead from syscalls with unoptimized exit
work. This includes tracing and context tracking, and any return
that invokes KVM's user return notifier. For example, the cost of
getpid with CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE=y drops from ~360ns to
~280ns on my computer.
This may allow the removal and even eventual conversion to C
of a respectable amount of exit asm.
This may require further tweaking to give the full benefit on Xen.
It may be worthwhile to adjust signal delivery and exec to try hit
the sysret path.
This does not optimize returns to 32-bit userspace. Making the same
optimization for CS == __USER32_CS is conceptually straightforward,
but it will require some tedious code to handle the differences
between sysretl and sysexitl.

context_tracking_user_exit() has no effect if in_interrupt() returns true,
so ist_enter() didn't work. Fix it by calling exception_enter(), and thus
context_tracking_user_exit(), before incrementing the preempt count.
This also adds an assertion that will catch the problem reliably if
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y to help prevent the bug from being reintroduced.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.
That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.
In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.
However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d45 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.
To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.
This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.
Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

of this is an IST rework. When an IST exception interrupts user
space, we will handle it on the per-thread kernel stack instead of
on the IST stack. This sounds messy, but it actually simplifies the
IST entry/exit code, because it eliminates some ugly games we used
to play in order to handle rescheduling, signal delivery, etc on the
way out of an IST exception.
The IST rework introduces proper context tracking to IST exception
handlers. I haven't seen any bug reports, but the old code could
have incorrectly treated an IST exception handler as an RCU extended
quiescent state.
The memory failure change (included in this pull request with
Borislav and Tony's permission) eliminates a bunch of code that
is no longer needed now that user memory failure handlers are

This patch fixes a systematic crash in rapl_scale()
due to an invalid pointer.
The bug was introduced by commit:
89cbc76768 ("x86: Replace __get_cpu_var uses")
The fix is simple. Just put the parenthesis where it needs
to be, i.e., around rapl_pmu. To my surprise, the compiler
was not complaining about passing an integer instead of a
pointer.

Commits 65cef1311d ("x86, microcode: Add a disable chicken bit") and
a18a0f6850 ("x86, microcode: Don't initialize microcode code on
paravirt") allow microcode driver skip initialization when microcode
loading is not permitted.
However, they don't prevent the driver from being loaded since the
init code returns 0. If at some point later the driver gets unloaded
this will result in an oops while trying to deregister the (never
registered) device.
To avoid this, make init code return an error on paravirt or when
microcode loading is disabled. The driver will then never be loaded.

therefor not set on 64bit UP builds. As a consequence the UP init of
the local APIC and the IOAPIC is not called, which results in a boot
failure.
Make it depend on !SMP && X86_LOCAL_APIC instead.

default_machine_specific_memory_setup() must keep the extra

Many users see this message when booting without knowning that it is

another way.
As explained by Paul Bolle in
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1348488259.1436.22.camel@x61.thuisdomein
"Fast TSC calibration failed" should not be considered as an error
since other calibration methods are being tried afterward. At most,
those send a warning if they fail (not an error). So let's change

Commit 0dbc6078c0 ('x86, build, pci: Fix PCI_MSI build on !SMP')
introduced the dependency that X86_UP_APIC is only available when
PCI_MSI is false. This effectively prevents PCI_MSI support on 32bit
UP systems because it disables both APIC and IO-APIC. But APIC support
is architecturally required for PCI_MSI.
The intention of the patch was to enforce APIC support when PCI_MSI is
enabled, but failed to do so.
Remove the !PCI_MSI dependency from X86_UP_APIC and enforce
X86_UP_APIC when PCI_MSI support is enabled on 32bit UP systems.

The Witcher 2 did something like this to allocate a TLS segment index:
struct user_desc u_info;
bzero(&u_info, sizeof(u_info));
u_info.entry_number = (uint32_t)-1;
syscall(SYS_set_thread_area, &u_info);
Strictly speaking, this code was never correct. It should have set
read_exec_only and seg_not_present to 1 to indicate that it wanted
to find a free slot without putting anything there, or it should
have put something sensible in the TLS slot if it wanted to allocate
a TLS entry for real. The actual effect of this code was to
allocate a bogus segment that could be used to exploit espfix.
The set_thread_area hardening patches changed the behavior, causing
set_thread_area to return -EINVAL and crashing the game.
This changes set_thread_area to interpret this as a request to find
a free slot and to leave it empty, which isn't *quite* what the game
expects but should be close enough to keep it working. In
particular, using the code above to allocate two segments will
allocate the same segment both times.
According to FrostbittenKing on Github, this fixes The Witcher 2.
If this somehow still causes problems, we could instead allocate
a limit==0 32-bit data segment, but that seems rather ugly to me.
