commit c40a56a7818cfe735fc93a69e1875f8bba834483 upstream.

The kernel image is mapped into two places in the virtual address space
(addresses without KASLR, of course):

	1. The kernel direct map (0xffff880000000000)
	2. The "high kernel map" (0xffffffff81000000)

We actually execute out of #2.  If we get the address of a kernel symbol,
it points to #2, but almost all physical-to-virtual translations point to

Parts of the "high kernel map" alias are mapped in the userspace page
tables with the Global bit for performance reasons.  The parts that we map
to userspace do not (er, should not) have secrets. When PTI is enabled then
the global bit is usually not set in the high mapping and just used to
compensate for poor performance on systems which lack PCID.

This is fine, except that some areas in the kernel image that are adjacent
to the non-secret-containing areas are unused holes.  We free these holes
back into the normal page allocator and reuse them as normal kernel memory.
The memory will, of course, get *used* via the normal map, but the alias
mapping is kept.

This otherwise unused alias mapping of the holes will, by default keep the
Global bit, be mapped out to userspace, and be vulnerable to Meltdown.

Remove the alias mapping of these pages entirely.  This is likely to
fracture the 2M page mapping the kernel image near these areas, but this
should affect a minority of the area.

The pageattr code changes *all* aliases mapping the physical pages that it
operates on (by default).  We only want to modify a single alias, so we
need to tweak its behavior.

This unmapping behavior is currently dependent on PTI being in place.
Going forward, we should at least consider doing this for all
configurations.  Having an extra read-write alias for memory is not exactly
ideal for debugging things like random memory corruption and this does
undercut features like DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or future work like eXclusive Page
Frame Ownership (XPFO).

commit 6ea2738e0ca0e626c75202fb051c1e88d7a950fa upstream.

When chunks of the kernel image are freed, free_init_pages() is used
directly.  Consolidate the three sites that do this.  Also update the
string to give an incrementally better description of that memory versus
what was there before.

<content type='text'>
commit 9f515cdb411ef34f1aaf4c40bb0c932cf6db5de1 upstream.

The x86 code has several places where it frees parts of kernel image:

 1. Unused SMP alternative
 2. __init code
 3. The hole between text and rodata
 4. The hole between rodata and data

We call free_init_pages() to do this.  Strangely, we convert the symbol
addresses to kernel direct map addresses in some cases (#3, #4) but not
others (#1, #2).

The virt_to_page() and the other code in free_reserved_area() now works
fine for for symbol addresses on x86, so don't bother converting the
addresses to direct map addresses before freeing them.

<title>kvmclock: fix TSC calibration for nested guests</title>

[ Upstream commit e10f7805032365cc11c739a97f226ebb48aee042 ]

Inside a nested guest, access to hardware can be slow enough that
tsc_read_refs always return ULLONG_MAX, causing tsc_refine_calibration_work
to be called periodically and the nested guest to spend a lot of time
reading the ACPI timer.

However, if the TSC frequency is available from the pvclock page,
we can just set X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ and avoid the recalibration.
'refine' operation.

[ Upstream commit 4fb5f58e8d191f7c81637ad81284e4848afb4244 ]

On 32-bit kernels, __flush_tlb_all() may have read the CR4 shadow before the
initialization of CR4 shadow in cpu_init().

Fix it by adding an explicit cr4_init_shadow() call into start_secondary()
which is the first function called on non-boot SMP CPUs - ahead of the
__flush_tlb_all() call.

( This is somewhat of a layering violation, but start_secondary() does
  CR4 bootstrap in the PCID case anyway. )

<title>x86/speculation/l1tf: Exempt zeroed PTEs from inversion</title>

commit f19f5c49bbc3ffcc9126cc245fc1b24cc29f4a37 upstream.

It turns out that we should *not* invert all not-present mappings,
because the all zeroes case is obviously special.

clear_page() does not undergo the XOR logic to invert the address bits,
i.e. PTE, PMD and PUD entries that have not been individually written
will have val=0 and so will trigger __pte_needs_invert(). As a result,
{pte,pmd,pud}_pfn() will return the wrong PFN value, i.e. all ones
(adjusted by the max PFN mask) instead of zero. A zeroed entry is ok
because the page at physical address 0 is reserved early in boot
specifically to mitigate L1TF, so explicitly exempt them from the
inversion when reading the PFN.

Manifested as an unexpected mprotect(..., PROT_NONE) failure when called
on a VMA that has VM_PFNMAP and was mmap'd to as something other than
PROT_NONE but never used. mprotect() sends the PROT_NONE request down
prot_none_walk(), which walks the PTEs to check the PFNs.
prot_none_pte_entry() gets the bogus PFN from pte_pfn() and returns
-EACCES because it thinks mprotect() is trying to adjust a high MMIO
address.

[ This is a very modified version of Sean's original patch, but all
  credit goes to Sean for doing this and also pointing out that
  sometimes the __pte_needs_invert() function only gets the protection
  bits, not the full eventual pte.  But zero remains special even in
  just protection bits, so that's ok.   - Linus ]

<title>x86/mm: Add TLB purge to free pmd/pte page interfaces</title>

commit 5e0fb5df2ee871b841f96f9cb6a7f2784e96aa4e upstream.

ioremap() calls pud_free_pmd_page() / pmd_free_pte_page() when it creates
a pud / pmd map.  The following preconditions are met at their entry.
 - All pte entries for a target pud/pmd address range have been cleared.
 - System-wide TLB purges have been peformed for a target pud/pmd address
   range.

The preconditions assure that there is no stale TLB entry for the range.
Speculation may not cache TLB entries since it requires all levels of page
entries, including ptes, to have P &amp; A-bits set for an associated address.
However, speculation may cache pud/pmd entries (paging-structure caches)
when they have P-bit set.

Add a system-wide TLB purge (INVLPG) to a single page after clearing
pud/pmd entry's P-bit.

SDM 4.10.4.1, Operation that Invalidate TLBs and Paging-Structure Caches,
states that:
  INVLPG invalidates all paging-structure caches associated with the
  current PCID regardless of the liner addresses to which they correspond.

<title>ioremap: Update pgtable free interfaces with addr</title>

commit 785a19f9d1dd8a4ab2d0633be4656653bd3de1fc upstream.

The following kernel panic was observed on ARM64 platform due to a stale
TLB entry.

 1. ioremap with 4K size, a valid pte page table is set.
 2. iounmap it, its pte entry is set to 0.
 3. ioremap the same address with 2M size, update its pmd entry with
    a new value.
 4. CPU may hit an exception because the old pmd entry is still in TLB,
    which leads to a kernel panic.

Commit b6bdb7517c3d ("mm/vmalloc: add interfaces to free unmapped page
table") has addressed this panic by falling to pte mappings in the above
case on ARM64.

To support pmd mappings in all cases, TLB purge needs to be performed
in this case on ARM64.

Add a new arg, 'addr', to pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page()
so that TLB purge can be added later in seprate patches.
