commit 53cf5797f114ba2bd86d23a862302119848eff19 upstream

Gather Data Sampling (GDS) is mitigated in microcode. However, on
systems that haven't received the updated microcode, disabling AVX
can act as a mitigation. Add a Kconfig option that uses the microcode
mitigation if available and disables AVX otherwise. Setting this
option has no effect on systems not affected by GDS. This is the
equivalent of setting gather_data_sampling=force.

commit 7c7077a72674402654f3291354720cd73cdf649e upstream

check_bugs() is a dumping ground for finalizing the CPU bringup. Only parts of
it has to do with actual CPU bugs.

Split it apart into arch_cpu_finalize_init() and cpu_select_mitigations().

Fixup the bogus 32bit comments while at it.

No functional change.

<title>x86/sme: Explicitly map new EFI memmap table as encrypted</title>

commit 1ff2fc02862d52e18fd3daabcfe840ec27e920a8 upstream.

Reserving memory using efi_mem_reserve() calls into the x86
efi_arch_mem_reserve() function. This function will insert a new EFI
memory descriptor into the EFI memory map representing the area of
memory to be reserved and marking it as EFI runtime memory. As part
of adding this new entry, a new EFI memory map is allocated and mapped.
The mapping is where a problem can occur. This new memory map is mapped
using early_memremap() and generally mapped encrypted, unless the new
memory for the mapping happens to come from an area of memory that is
marked as EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA memory. In this case, the new memory will
be mapped unencrypted. However, during replacement of the old memory map,
efi_mem_type() is disabled, so the new memory map will now be long-term
mapped encrypted (in efi.memmap), resulting in the map containing invalid
data and causing the kernel boot to crash.

Since it is known that the area will be mapped encrypted going forward,
explicitly map the new memory map as encrypted using early_memremap_prot().

<title>x86: Make ARCH_USE_MEMREMAP_PROT a generic Kconfig symbol</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1fe4d9ba5c921adc168076eb1f0eb80ef9315d75</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ce9084ba0d1d8030adee7038ace32f8d9d423d0f upstream.

Turn ARCH_USE_MEMREMAP_PROT into a generic Kconfig symbol, and fix the
dependency expression to reflect that AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT depends on it,
instead of the other way around. This will permit ARCH_USE_MEMREMAP_PROT
to be selected by other architectures.

Note that the encryption related early memremap routines in
arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c cannot be built for 32-bit x86 without triggering
the following warning:

     arch/x86//mm/ioremap.c: In function 'early_memremap_encrypted':
  &gt;&gt; arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h:193:27: warning: conversion from
                     'long long unsigned int' to 'long unsigned int' changes
                     value from '9223372036854776163' to '355' [-Woverflow]
      #define __PAGE_KERNEL_ENC (__PAGE_KERNEL | _PAGE_ENC)
                                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     arch/x86//mm/ioremap.c:713:46: note: in expansion of macro '__PAGE_KERNEL_ENC'
       return early_memremap_prot(phys_addr, size, __PAGE_KERNEL_ENC);

which essentially means they are 64-bit only anyway. However, we cannot
make them dependent on CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_MEM_ENCRYPT, since that is always
defined, even for i386 (and changing that results in a slew of build errors)

So instead, build those routines only if CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT is
defined.

<title>x86/Kconfig: Do not enable AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT_ACTIVE_BY_DEFAULT automatically</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8f9527414867764018639968df457a1a26aec1e1</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 711885906b5c2df90746a51f4cd674f1ab9fbb1d upstream.

This Kconfig option was added initially so that memory encryption is
enabled by default on machines which support it.

However, devices which have DMA masks that are less than the bit
position of the encryption bit, aka C-bit, require the use of an IOMMU
or the use of SWIOTLB.

If the IOMMU is disabled or in passthrough mode, the kernel would switch
to SWIOTLB bounce-buffering for those transfers.

In order to avoid that,

  2cc13bb4f59f ("iommu: Disable passthrough mode when SME is active")

disables the default IOMMU passthrough mode so that devices for which the
default 256K DMA is insufficient, can use the IOMMU instead.

However 2, there are cases where the IOMMU is disabled in the BIOS, etc.
(think the usual hardware folk "oops, I dropped the ball there" cases) or a
driver doesn't properly use the DMA APIs or a device has a firmware or
hardware bug, e.g.:

  ea68573d408f ("drm/amdgpu: Fail to load on RAVEN if SME is active")

However 3, in the above GPU use case, there are APIs like Vulkan and
some OpenGL/OpenCL extensions which are under the assumption that
user-allocated memory can be passed in to the kernel driver and both the
GPU and CPU can do coherent and concurrent access to the same memory.
That cannot work with SWIOTLB bounce buffers, of course.

So, in order for those devices to function, drop the "default y" for the
SME by default active option so that users who want to have SME enabled,
will need to either enable it in their config or use "mem_encrypt=on" on
the kernel command line.

<title>x86/platform/uv: Fix !KEXEC build failure</title>

[ Upstream commit c2209ea55612efac75de0a58ef5f7394fae7fa0f ]

When KEXEC is disabled, the UV build fails:

  arch/x86/platform/uv/uv_nmi.c:875:14: error: ‘uv_nmi_kexec_failed’ undeclared (first use in this function)

Since uv_nmi_kexec_failed is only defined in the KEXEC_CORE #ifdef branch,
this code cannot ever have been build tested:

	if (main)
		pr_err("UV: NMI kdump: KEXEC not supported in this kernel\n");
	atomic_set(&amp;uv_nmi_kexec_failed, 1);

Nor is this use possible in uv_handle_nmi():

                atomic_set(&amp;uv_nmi_kexec_failed, 0);

These bugs were introduced in this commit:

    d0a9964e9873: ("x86/platform/uv: Implement simple dump failover if kdump fails")

Which added the uv_nmi_kexec_failed assignments to !KEXEC code, while making the
definition KEXEC-only - apparently without testing the !KEXEC case.

Instead of complicating the #ifdef maze, simplify the code by requiring X86_UV
to depend on KEXEC_CORE. This pattern is present in other architectures as well.

( We'll remove the untested, 7 years old !KEXEC complications from the file in a
  separate commit. )

commit db616173d787395787ecc93eef075fa975227b10 upstream.

There is a general consensus that TSX usage is not largely spread while
the history shows there is a non trivial space for side channel attacks
possible. Therefore the tsx is disabled by default even on platforms
that might have a safe implementation of TSX according to the current
knowledge. This is a fair trade off to make.

There are, however, workloads that really do benefit from using TSX and
updating to a newer kernel with TSX disabled might introduce a
noticeable regressions. This would be especially a problem for Linux
distributions which will provide TAA mitigations.

Introduce config options X86_INTEL_TSX_MODE_OFF, X86_INTEL_TSX_MODE_ON
and X86_INTEL_TSX_MODE_AUTO to control the TSX feature. The config
setting can be overridden by the tsx cmdline options.

commit bebd024e4815b1a170fcd21ead9c2222b23ce9e6 upstream.

The SMT disable 'nosmt' command line argument is not working properly when
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled. The teardown of the sibling CPUs which are
required to be brought up due to the MCE issues, cannot work. The CPUs are
then kept in a half dead state.

As the 'nosmt' functionality has become popular due to the speculative
hardware vulnerabilities, the half torn down state is not a proper solution
to the problem.

Enforce CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y when SMP is enabled so the full operation is
possible.

commit dbe733642e01dd108f71436aaea7b328cb28fd87 upstream

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.
