Pull x86 pti updates from Thomas Gleixner: "This contains: - a PTI bugfix to avoid setting reserved CR3 bits when PCID is disabled. This seems to cause issues on a virtual machine at least and is incorrect according to the AMD manual. - a PTI bugfix which disables the perf BTS facility if PTI is enabled. The BTS AUX buffer is not globally visible and causes the CPU to fault when the mapping disappears on switching CR3 to user space. A full fix which restores BTS on PTI is non trivial and will be worked on. - PTI bugfixes for EFI and trusted boot which make sure that the user space visible page table entries have the NX bit cleared - removal of dead code in the PTI pagetable setup functions - add PTI documentation - add a selftest for vsyscall to verify that the kernel actually implements what it advertises. - a sysfs interface to expose vulnerability and mitigation information so there is a coherent way for users to retrieve the status. - the initial spectre_v2 mitigations, aka retpoline: + The necessary ASM thunk and compiler support + The ASM variants of retpoline and the conversion of affected ASM code + Make LFENCE serializing on AMD so it can be used as speculation trap + The RSB fill after vmexit - initial objtool support for retpoline As I said in the status mail this is the most of the set of patches which should go into 4.15 except two straight forward patches still on hold: - the retpoline add on of LFENCE which waits for ACKs - the RSB fill after context switch Both should be ready to go early next week and with that we'll have covered the major holes of spectre_v2 and go back to normality" * 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (28 commits) x86,perf: Disable intel_bts when PTI security/Kconfig: Correct the Documentation reference for PTI x86/pti: Fix !PCID and sanitize defines selftests/x86: Add test_vsyscall x86/retpoline: Fill return stack buffer on vmexit x86/retpoline/irq32: Convert assembler indirect jumps x86/retpoline/checksum32: Convert assembler indirect jumps x86/retpoline/xen: Convert Xen hypercall indirect jumps x86/retpoline/hyperv: Convert assembler indirect jumps x86/retpoline/ftrace: Convert ftrace assembler indirect jumps x86/retpoline/entry: Convert entry assembler indirect jumps x86/retpoline/crypto: Convert crypto assembler indirect jumps x86/spectre: Add boot time option to select Spectre v2 mitigation x86/retpoline: Add initial retpoline support objtool: Allow alternatives to be ignored objtool: Detect jumps to retpoline thunks x86/pti: Make unpoison of pgd for trusted boot work for real x86/alternatives: Fix optimize_nops() checking sysfs/cpu: Fix typos in vulnerability documentation x86/cpu/AMD: Use LFENCE_RDTSC in preference to MFENCE_RDTSC ...

sysfs/cpu: Add vulnerability folder

2018-01-08T10:10:33Z

As the meltdown/spectre problem affects several CPU architectures, it makes sense to have common way to express whether a system is affected by a particular vulnerability or not. If affected the way to express the mitigation should be common as well. Create /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities folder and files for meltdown, spectre_v1 and spectre_v2. Allow architectures to override the show function.

Pull driver core fixes from Greg KH: "Here are two driver core fixes for 4.15-rc6, resolving some reported issues. The first is a cacheinfo fix for DT based systems to resolve a reported issue that has been around for a while, and the other is to resolve a regression in the kobject uevent code that showed up in 4.15-rc1.

drivers: base: cacheinfo: fix cache type for non-architected system cache

2017-12-15T19:07:49Z

Commit dfea747d2aba ("drivers: base: cacheinfo: support DT overrides for cache properties") doesn't initialise the cache type if it's present only in DT and the architecture is not aware of it. They are unified system level cache which are generally transparent. This patch check if the cache type is set to NOCACHE but the DT node indicates that it's unified cache and sets the cache type accordingly.

PM / sleep: Avoid excess pm_runtime_enable() calls in device_resume()

2017-12-11T13:32:56Z

Middle-layer code doing suspend-time optimizations for devices with the DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND flag set (currently, the PCI bus type and the ACPI PM domain) needs to make the core skip ->thaw_early and ->thaw callbacks for those devices in some cases and it sets the power.direct_complete flag for them for this purpose. However, it turns out that setting power.direct_complete outside of the PM core is a bad idea as it triggers an excess invocation of pm_runtime_enable() in device_resume(). For this reason, provide a helper to clear power.is_late_suspended and power.is_suspended to be invoked by the middle-layer code in question instead of setting power.direct_complete and make that code call the new helper.

Prevent rpm_get_suppliers() from returning an error code if runtime PM is disabled for one or more of the supplier devices it wants to runtime-resume, so as to make runtime PM work for devices with links to suppliers that don't use runtime PM (such links may be created during device enumeration even before it is known whether or not runtime PM will be enabled for the devices in question, for example).

isa: Prevent NULL dereference in isa_bus driver callbacks

2017-11-28T15:40:58Z

The isa_driver structure for an isa_bus device is stored in the device platform_data member of the respective device structure. This platform_data member may be reset to NULL if isa_driver match callback for the device fails, indicating a device unsupported by the ISA driver. This patch fixes a possible NULL pointer dereference if one of the isa_driver callbacks to attempted for an unsupported device. This error should not occur in practice since ISA devices are typically manually configured and loaded by the users, but we may as well prevent this error from popping up for the 0day testers.

treewide: Remove TIMER_FUNC_TYPE and TIMER_DATA_TYPE casts

2017-11-22T00:35:54Z

With all callbacks converted, and the timer callback prototype switched over, the TIMER_FUNC_TYPE cast is no longer needed, so remove it. Conversion was done with the following scripts: perl -pi -e 's|$TIMER_FUNC_TYPE$||g' \ $(git grep TIMER_FUNC_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u) perl -pi -e 's|$TIMER_DATA_TYPE$||g' \ $(git grep TIMER_DATA_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u) The now unused macros are also dropped from include/linux/timer.h.
