<content type='text'>
commit 4b703305d98bf7350d4b2953ee39a3aa2eeb1778 upstream.

Usually, after we have found the proper microcode blob for the current
machine, we stash it away for later use with save_microcode_in_initrd().

However, with builtin microcode which doesn't come from the initrd, we
don't call that function because CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=n and even if
set, we don't have a valid initrd.

In order to fix this, let's make save_microcode_in_initrd() an
fs_initcall which runs before rootfs_initcall() as this was the time it
was called previously through:

 rootfs_initcall(populate_rootfs)
 |-&gt; free_initrd()
     |-&gt; free_initrd_mem()
         |-&gt; save_microcode_in_initrd()

Also, we make it run independently from initrd functionality being
present or not.

And since it is called in the microcode loader only now, we can also
make it static.

commit ad025a73f0e9344ac73ffe1b74c184033e08e7d5 upstream.

get_mtrr_state() calls pat_init() on BSP even if MTRR is disabled.
This results in calling pat_init() on BSP only since APs do not call
pat_init() when MTRR is disabled.  This inconsistency between BSP
and APs leads to undefined behavior.

Make BSP's calling condition to pat_init() consistent with AP's,
mtrr_ap_init() and mtrr_aps_init().

<title>x86/mtrr: Fix Xorg crashes in Qemu sessions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8095bbc27932868534ad6f3787879db0b9f2e29c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit edfe63ec97ed8d4496225f7ba54c9ce4207c5431 upstream.

A Xorg failure on qemu32 was reported as a regression [1] caused by
commit 9cd25aac1f44 ("x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled").

This patch fixes the Xorg crash.

Negative effects of this regression were the following two failures [2]
in Xorg on QEMU with QEMU CPU model "qemu32" (-cpu qemu32), which were
triggered by the fact that its virtual CPU does not support MTRRs.

 #1. copy_process() failed in the check in reserve_pfn_range()

    copy_process
     copy_mm
      dup_mm
       dup_mmap
        copy_page_range
         track_pfn_copy
          reserve_pfn_range

 A WC map request was tracked as WC in memtype, which set a PTE as
 UC (pgprot) per __cachemode2pte_tbl[].  This led to this error in
 reserve_pfn_range() called from track_pfn_copy(), which obtained
 a pgprot from a PTE.  It converts pgprot to page_cache_mode, which
 does not necessarily result in the original page_cache_mode since
 __cachemode2pte_tbl[] redirects multiple types to UC.

 #2. error path in copy_process() then hit WARN_ON_ONCE in
     untrack_pfn().

     x86/PAT: Xorg:509 map pfn expected mapping type uncached-
     minus for [mem 0xfd000000-0xfdffffff], got write-combining
      Call Trace:
     dump_stack
     warn_slowpath_common
     ? untrack_pfn
     ? untrack_pfn
     warn_slowpath_null
     untrack_pfn
     ? __kunmap_atomic
     unmap_single_vma
     ? pagevec_move_tail_fn
     unmap_vmas
     exit_mmap
     mmput
     copy_process.part.47
     _do_fork
     SyS_clone
     do_syscall_32_irqs_on
     entry_INT80_32

These negative effects are caused by two separate bugs, but they
can be addressed in separate patches.  Fixing the pat_init() issue
described below addresses the root cause, and avoids Xorg to hit
these cases.

When the CPU does not support MTRRs, MTRR does not call pat_init(),
which leaves PAT enabled without initializing PAT.  This pat_init()
issue is a long-standing issue, but manifested as issue #1 (and then
hit issue #2) with the above-mentioned commit because the memtype
now tracks cache attribute with 'page_cache_mode'.

This pat_init() issue existed before the commit, but we used pgprot
in memtype.  Hence, we did not have issue #1 before.  But WC request
resulted in WT in effect because WC pgrot is actually WT when PAT
is not initialized.  This is not how it was designed to work.  When
PAT is set to disable properly, WC is converted to UC.  The use of
WT can result in a system crash if the target range does not support
WT.  Fortunately, nobody ran into such issue before.

To fix this pat_init() issue, PAT code has been enhanced to provide
pat_disable() interface.  Call this interface when MTRRs are disabled.
By setting PAT to disable properly, PAT bypasses the memtype check,
and avoids issue #1.

<title>x86/cpufeature, x86/mm/pkeys: Fix broken compile-time disabling of pkeys</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e06916ba262e94feb306f2536f1943dffaf6f09f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit e8df1a95b685af84a81698199ee206e0e66a8b44 upstream.

When I added support for the Memory Protection Keys processor
feature, I had to reindent the REQUIRED/DISABLED_MASK macros, and
also consult the later cpufeature words.

I'm not quite sure how I bungled it, but I consulted the wrong
word at the end.  This only affected required or disabled cpu
features in cpufeature words 14, 15 and 16.  So, only Protection
Keys itself was screwed over here.

The result was that if you disabled pkeys in your .config, you
might still see some code show up that should have been compiled
out.  There should be no functional problems, though.

In verifying this patch I also realized that the DISABLE_PKU/OSPKE
macros were defined backwards and that the cpu_has() check in
setup_pku() was not doing the compile-time disabled checks.

So also fix the macro for DISABLE_PKU/OSPKE and add a compile-time
check for pkeys being enabled in setup_pku().

<title>x86/topology: Set x86_max_cores to 1 for CONFIG_SMP=n</title>

<content type='text'>
Josef reported that the uncore driver trips over with CONFIG_SMP=n because
x86_max_cores is 16 instead of 12.

The reason is, that for SMP=n the extended topology detection is a NOOP and
the cache leaf is used to determine the number of cores. That's wrong in two
aspects:

1) The cache leaf enumerates the maximum addressable number of cores in the
   package, which is obviously not correct

2) UP has no business with topology bits at all.

Make intel_num_cpu_cores() return 1 for CONFIG_SMP=n

<title>x86/hyperv: Avoid reporting bogus NMI status for Gen2 instances</title>

<content type='text'>
Generation2 instances don't support reporting the NMI status on port 0x61,
read from there returns 'ff' and we end up reporting nonsensical PCI
error (as there is no PCI bus in these instances) on all NMIs:

    NMI: PCI system error (SERR) for reason ff on CPU 0.
    Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

Fix the issue by overriding x86_platform.get_nmi_reason. Use 'booted on
EFI' flag to detect Gen2 instances.

When we loop over all queued machine check error records to pass them
to the registered notifiers we use llist_for_each_entry(). But the loop
calls gen_pool_free() for the entry in the body of the loop - and then
the iterator looks at node-&gt;next after the free.

Use llist_for_each_entry_safe() instead.
