[ Upstream commit 59162e0c11d7257cde15f907d19fefe26da66692 ]

The x86 instruction decoder is used not only for decoding kernel
instructions. It is also used by perf uprobes (user space probes) and by
perf tools Intel Processor Trace decoding. Consequently, it needs to
support instructions executed by user space also.

Opcode 0x68 PUSH instruction is currently defined as 64-bit operand size
only i.e. (d64). That was based on Intel SDM Opcode Map. However that is
contradicted by the Instruction Set Reference section for PUSH in the
same manual.

Remove 64-bit operand size only annotation from opcode 0x68 PUSH
instruction.

Example:

  $ cat pushw.s
  .global  _start
  .text
  _start:
          pushw   $0x1234
          mov     $0x1,%eax   # system call number (sys_exit)
          int     $0x80
  $ as -o pushw.o pushw.s
  $ ld -s -o pushw pushw.o
  $ objdump -d pushw | tail -4
  0000000000401000 &lt;.text&gt;:
    401000:       66 68 34 12             pushw  $0x1234
    401004:       b8 01 00 00 00          mov    $0x1,%eax
    401009:       cd 80                   int    $0x80
  $ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./pushw

  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.014 MB perf.data ]

  $ perf script --insn-trace=disasm

<title>x86/lib: Fix overflow when counting digits</title>

[ Upstream commit a24d61c609813963aacc9f6ec8343f4fcaac7243 ]

tl;dr: The num_digits() function has a theoretical overflow issue.
But it doesn't affect any actual in-tree users.  Fix it by using
a larger type for one of the local variables.

Long version:

There is an overflow in variable m in function num_digits when val
is &gt;= 1410065408 which leads to the digit calculation loop to
iterate more times than required. This results in either more
digits being counted or in some cases (for example where val is
1932683193) the value of m eventually overflows to zero and the
while loop spins forever).

Currently the function num_digits is currently only being used for
small values of val in the SMP boot stage for digit counting on the
number of cpus and NUMA nodes, so the overflow is never encountered.
However it is useful to fix the overflow issue in case the function
is used for other purposes in the future. (The issue was discovered
while investigating the digit counting performance in various
kernel helper functions rather than any real-world use-case).

The simplest fix is to make m a long long, the overhead in
multiplication speed for a long long is very minor for small values
of val less than 10000 on modern processors. The alternative
fix is to replace the multiplication with a constant division
by 10 loop (this compiles down to an multiplication and shift)
without needing to make m a long long, but this is slightly slower
than the fix in this commit when measured on a range of x86
processors).

<title>x86/delay: Fix the wrong asm constraint in delay_loop()</title>

[ Upstream commit b86eb74098a92afd789da02699b4b0dd3f73b889 ]

The asm constraint does not reflect the fact that the asm statement can
modify the value of the local variable loops. Which it does.

Specifying the wrong constraint may lead to undefined behavior, it may
clobber random stuff (e.g. local variable, important temporary value in
regs, etc.). This is especially dangerous when the compiler decides to
inline the function and since it doesn't know that the value gets
modified, it might decide to use it from a register directly without
reloading it.

Change the constraint to "+a" to denote that the first argument is an
input and an output argument.

<title>x86: __memcpy_flushcache: fix wrong alignment if size &gt; 2^32</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit a6823e4e360fe975bd3da4ab156df7c74c8b07f3 ]

The first "if" condition in __memcpy_flushcache is supposed to align the
"dest" variable to 8 bytes and copy data up to this alignment.  However,
this condition may misbehave if "size" is greater than 4GiB.

The statement min_t(unsigned, size, ALIGN(dest, 8) - dest); casts both
arguments to unsigned int and selects the smaller one.  However, the
cast truncates high bits in "size" and it results in misbehavior.

For example:

	suppose that size == 0x100000001, dest == 0x200000002
	min_t(unsigned, size, ALIGN(dest, 8) - dest) == min_t(0x1, 0xe) == 0x1;
	...
	dest += 0x1;

so we copy just one byte "and" dest remains unaligned.

This patch fixes the bug by replacing unsigned with size_t.

commit 4d6ffa27b8e5116c0abb318790fd01d4e12d75e6 upstream.

Commit

  393f203f5fd5 ("x86_64: kasan: add interceptors for memset/memmove/memcpy functions")

added .weak directives to arch/x86/lib/mem*_64.S instead of changing the
existing ENTRY macros to WEAK. This can lead to the assembly snippet

  .weak memcpy
  ...
  .globl memcpy

which will produce a STB_WEAK memcpy with GNU as but STB_GLOBAL memcpy
with LLVM's integrated assembler before LLVM 12. LLVM 12 (since
https://reviews.llvm.org/D90108) will error on such an overridden symbol
binding.

Commit

  ef1e03152cb0 ("x86/asm: Make some functions local")

changed ENTRY in arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S to SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL, which
was ineffective due to the preceding .weak directive.

Use the appropriate SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK instead.

commit bb5570ad3b54e7930997aec76ab68256d5236d94 upstream.

x86 CPUs can suffer severe performance drops if a tight loop, such as
the ones in __clear_user(), straddles a 16-byte instruction fetch
window, or worse, a 64-byte cacheline. This issues was discovered in the
SUSE kernel with the following commit,

  1153933703d9 ("x86/asm/64: Micro-optimize __clear_user() - Use immediate constants")

which increased the code object size from 10 bytes to 15 bytes and
caused the 8-byte copy loop in __clear_user() to be split across a
64-byte cacheline.

Aligning the start of the loop to 16-bytes makes this fit neatly inside
a single instruction fetch window again and restores the performance of
__clear_user() which is used heavily when reading from /dev/zero.

Here are some numbers from running libmicro's read_z* and pread_z*
microbenchmarks which read from /dev/zero:
