commit ec6347bb43395cb92126788a1a5b25302543f815 upstream.

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.

Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

  &gt; &gt; It works because the exception on the source address due to poison
  &gt; &gt; looks no different than a write fault on the user address to the
  &gt; &gt; caller, it's still just a short copy. So it makes copy_to_user() work
  &gt; &gt; for the wrong reason relative to the name.
  &gt;
  &gt; Right.
  &gt;
  &gt; And it won't work that way on other architectures. On x86, we have a
  &gt; generic function that can take faults on either side, and we use it
  &gt; for both cases (and for the "in_user" case too), but that's an
  &gt; artifact of the architecture oddity.
  &gt;
  &gt; In fact, it's probably wrong even on x86 - because it can hide bugs -
  &gt; but writing those things is painful enough that everybody prefers
  &gt; having just one function.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().

Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.

One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

<title>x86/mce: Make mce_rdmsrl() panic on an inaccessible MSR</title>

[ Upstream commit e2def7d49d0812ea40a224161b2001b2e815dce2 ]

If an exception needs to be handled while reading an MSR - which is in
most of the cases caused by a #GP on a non-existent MSR - then this
is most likely the incarnation of a BIOS or a hardware bug. Such bug
violates the architectural guarantee that MCA banks are present with all
MSRs belonging to them.

The proper fix belongs in the hardware/firmware - not in the kernel.

Handling an #MC exception which is raised while an NMI is being handled
would cause the nasty NMI nesting issue because of the shortcoming of
IRET of reenabling NMIs when executed. And the machine is in an #MC
context already so &lt;Deity&gt; be at its side.

Tracing MSR accesses while in #MC is another no-no due to tracing being
inherently a bad idea in atomic context:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_machine_check()+0x4a: call to mce_rdmsrl() leaves .noinstr.text section

so remove all that "additional" functionality from mce_rdmsrl() and
provide it with a special exception handler which panics the machine
when that MSR is not accessible.

The exception handler prints a human-readable message explaining what
the panic reason is but, what is more, it panics while in the #GP
handler and latter won't have executed an IRET, thus opening the NMI
nesting issue in the case when the #MC has happened while handling
an NMI. (#MC itself won't be reenabled until MCG_STATUS hasn't been
cleared).

The patrol scrubber in Skylake and Cascade Lake systems can be configured
to report uncorrected errors using a special signature in the machine
check bank and to signal using CMCI instead of machine check.

Update the severity calculation mechanism to allow specifying the model,
minimum stepping and range of machine check bank numbers.

Add a new rule to detect the special signature (on model 0x55, stepping
&gt;=4 in any of the memory controller banks).

<title>x86/asm: Replace __force_order with a memory clobber</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit aa5cacdc29d76a005cbbee018a47faa6e724dd2d ]

The CRn accessor functions use __force_order as a dummy operand to
prevent the compiler from reordering CRn reads/writes with respect to
each other.

The fact that the asm is volatile should be enough to prevent this:
volatile asm statements should be executed in program order. However GCC
4.9.x and 5.x have a bug that might result in reordering. This was fixed
in 8.1, 7.3 and 6.5. Versions prior to these, including 5.x and 4.9.x,
may reorder volatile asm statements with respect to each other.

There are some issues with __force_order as implemented:
- It is used only as an input operand for the write functions, and hence
  doesn't do anything additional to prevent reordering writes.
- It allows memory accesses to be cached/reordered across write
  functions, but CRn writes affect the semantics of memory accesses, so
  this could be dangerous.
- __force_order is not actually defined in the kernel proper, but the
  LLVM toolchain can in some cases require a definition: LLVM (as well
  as GCC 4.9) requires it for PIE code, which is why the compressed
  kernel has a definition, but also the clang integrated assembler may
  consider the address of __force_order to be significant, resulting in
  a reference that requires a definition.

Fix this by:
- Using a memory clobber for the write functions to additionally prevent
  caching/reordering memory accesses across CRn writes.
- Using a dummy input operand with an arbitrary constant address for the
  read functions, instead of a global variable. This will prevent reads
  from being reordered across writes, while allowing memory loads to be
  cached/reordered across CRn reads, which should be safe.

Choo! Choo!  All aboard the Split Lock Express, with direct service to
Wreckage!

Skip split_lock_verify_msr() if the CPU isn't whitelisted as a possible
SLD-enabled CPU model to avoid writing MSR_TEST_CTRL.  MSR_TEST_CTRL
exists, and is writable, on many generations of CPUs.  Writing the MSR,
even with '0', can result in bizarre, undocumented behavior.

This fixes a crash on Haswell when resuming from suspend with a live KVM
guest.  Because APs use the standard SMP boot flow for resume, they will
go through split_lock_init() and the subsequent RDMSR/WRMSR sequence,
which runs even when sld_state==sld_off to ensure SLD is disabled.  On
Haswell (at least, my Haswell), writing MSR_TEST_CTRL with '0' will
succeed and _may_ take the SMT _sibling_ out of VMX root mode.

When KVM has an active guest, KVM performs VMXON as part of CPU onlining
(see kvm_starting_cpu()).  Because SMP boot is serialized, the resulting
flow is effectively:

  on_each_ap_cpu() {
     WRMSR(MSR_TEST_CTRL, 0)
     VMXON
  }

As a result, the WRMSR can disable VMX on a different CPU that has
already done VMXON.  This ultimately results in a #UD on VMPTRLD when
KVM regains control and attempt run its vCPUs.

The above voodoo was confirmed by reworking KVM's VMXON flow to write
MSR_TEST_CTRL prior to VMXON, and to serialize the sequence as above.
Further verification of the insanity was done by redoing VMXON on all
APs after the initial WRMSR-&gt;VMXON sequence.  The additional VMXON,
which should VM-Fail, occasionally succeeded, and also eliminated the
unexpected #UD on VMPTRLD.

The damage done by writing MSR_TEST_CTRL doesn't appear to be limited
to VMX, e.g. after suspend with an active KVM guest, subsequent reboots
almost always hang (even when fudging VMXON), a #UD on a random Jcc was
observed, suspend/resume stability is qualitatively poor, and so on and
so forth.
