<id>urn:sha1:edefb935700c130ff52a0a0da7edab7a34d7572c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d0a8d9378d16eb3c69bd8e6d23779fbdbee3a8c7 upstream.

native_save_fl() is marked static inline, but by using it as
a function pointer in arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c, it MUST be outlined.

paravirt's use of native_save_fl() also requires that no GPRs other than
%rax are clobbered.

Compilers have different heuristics which they use to emit stack guard
code, the emittance of which can break paravirt's callee saved assumption
by clobbering %rcx.

Marking a function definition extern inline means that if this version
cannot be inlined, then the out-of-line version will be preferred. By
having the out-of-line version be implemented in assembly, it cannot be
instrumented with a stack protector, which might violate custom calling
conventions that code like paravirt rely on.

The semantics of extern inline has changed since gnu89. This means that
folks using GCC versions &gt;= 5.1 may see symbol redefinition errors at
link time for subdirs that override KBUILD_CFLAGS (making the C standard
used implicit) regardless of this patch. This has been cleaned up
earlier in the patch set, but is left as a note in the commit message
for future travelers.

<title>x86/kasan: Use the same shadow offset for 4- and 5-level paging</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 12a8cc7fcf54a8575f094be1e99032ec38aa045c upstream.

We are going to support boot-time switching between 4- and 5-level
paging. For KASAN it means we cannot have different KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
for different paging modes: the constant is passed to gcc to generate
code and cannot be changed at runtime.

This patch changes KASAN code to use 0xdffffc0000000000 as shadow offset
for both 4- and 5-level paging.

For 5-level paging it means that shadow memory region is not aligned to
PGD boundary anymore and we have to handle unaligned parts of the region
properly.

In addition, we have to exclude paravirt code from KASAN instrumentation
as we now use set_pgd() before KASAN is fully ready.

<content type='text'>
commit 2704fbb672d0d9a19414907fda7949283dcef6a1 upstream.

Jiri Slaby reported an ORC issue when unwinding from an idle task.  The
stack was:

    ffffffff811083c2 do_idle+0x142/0x1e0
    ffffffff8110861d cpu_startup_entry+0x5d/0x60
    ffffffff82715f58 start_kernel+0x3ff/0x407
    ffffffff827153e8 x86_64_start_kernel+0x14e/0x15d
    ffffffff810001bf secondary_startup_64+0x9f/0xa0

The ORC unwinder errored out at secondary_startup_64 because the head
code isn't annotated yet so there wasn't a corresponding ORC entry.

Fix that and any other head-related unwinding issues by adding unwind
hints to the head code.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>
<updated>2017-11-02T10:10:55Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Greg Kroah-Hartman</name>
</author>
<published>2017-11-01T14:07:57Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

IDT related code lives scattered around in various places. Create a new
source file in arch/x86/kernel/idt.c to hold it.

Move the idt_tables and descriptors to it for a start. Follow up patches
will gradually move more code over.

EISA has absolutely nothing to do with traps, so move it out of traps.c
into its own eisa.c file.

Furthermore, the EISA bus detection does not need to run during
very early boot, it's good enough to run it before the EISA bus
and drivers are initialized.

I.e. instead of calling it from the very early trap_init() code,
make it a subsys_initcall().

<title>x86/unwind: Add the ORC unwinder</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ee9f8fce99640811b2b8e79d0d1dbe8bab69ba67</id>
<content type='text'>
Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework.

It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and
.orc_unwind_ip sections.

For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is
that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo
data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude
faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to
profiling workloads like perf.

Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas:
splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a
fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.

Pull x86 mm updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Continued work to add support for 5-level paging provided by future
     Intel CPUs. In particular we switch the x86 GUP code to the generic
     implementation. (Kirill A. Shutemov)

   - Continued work to add PCID CPU support to native kernels as well.
     In this round most of the focus is on reworking/refreshing the TLB
     flush infrastructure for the upcoming PCID changes. (Andy
     Lutomirski)"

<title>objtool, x86: Add several functions and files to the objtool whitelist</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c207aee48037abca71c669cbec407b9891965c34</id>
<content type='text'>
In preparation for an objtool rewrite which will have broader checks,
whitelist functions and files which cause problems because they do
unusual things with the stack.

These whitelists serve as a TODO list for which functions and files
don't yet have undwarf unwinder coverage.  Eventually most of the
whitelists can be removed in favor of manual CFI hint annotations or
objtool improvements.
