Introduce pm_suspend_in_progress() to be used for checking if a system-
wide suspend or resume transition is in progress, instead of comparing
pm_suspend_target_state directly to PM_SUSPEND_ON, and use it where
applicable.
No intentional functional impact.

During kexec handover (KHO) memory contains data that should be preserved
and this data would be consumed by kexec'ed kernel.
To make sure that the preserved memory is not overwritten, KHO uses
"scratch regions" to bootstrap kexec'ed kernel. These regions are
guaranteed to not have any memory that KHO would preserve and are used as
the only memory the kernel sees during the early boot.
The scratch regions are passed in the setup_data by the first kernel with
other KHO parameters. If the setup_data contains the KHO parameters,
limit randomization to scratch areas only to make sure preserved memory
won't get overwritten.
Since all the pointers in setup_data are represented by u64, they require
double casting (first to unsigned long and then to the actual pointer
type) to compile on 32-bits. This looks goofy out of context, but it is
unfortunately the way that this is handled across the tree. There are at
least a dozen instances of casting like this.

KHO kernels are special and use only scratch memory for memblock
allocations, but memory below 1M is ignored by kernel after early boot and
cannot be naturally marked as scratch.
To allow allocation of the real-mode trampoline and a few (if any) other
very early allocations from below 1M forcibly mark the memory below 1M as
scratch.
After real mode trampoline is allocated, clear that scratch marking.

kexec handover (KHO) creates a metadata that the kernels pass between each
other during kexec. This metadata is stored in memory and kexec image
contains a (physical) pointer to that memory.
In addition, KHO keeps "scratch regions" available for kexec: physically
contiguous memory regions that are guaranteed to not have any memory that
KHO would preserve. The new kernel bootstraps itself using the scratch
regions and sets all handed over memory as in use. When subsystems that
support KHO initialize, they introspect the KHO metadata, restore
preserved memory regions, and retrieve their state stored in the preserved
memory.
Enlighten x86 kexec-file and boot path about the KHO metadata and make
sure it gets passed along to the next kernel.

memblock_reserve() does not distinguish memory used by firmware from
memory used by kernel.
The distinction is nice to have for accounting of early memory allocations
and reservations, but it is essential for kexec handover (kho) to know how
much memory kernel consumes during boot.
Use memblock_reserve_kern() to reserve kernel memory, such as kernel
image, initrd and setup data.

When suspending, save_processor_state() calls mtrr_save_fixed_ranges()
to save fixed-range MTRRs.
On platforms without fixed-range MTRRs like the ACRN hypervisor which
has removed fixed-range MTRR emulation, accessing these MSRs will
trigger an unchecked MSR access error. Make sure fixed-range MTRRs are
supported before access to prevent such error.
Since mtrr_state.have_fixed is only set when MTRRs are present and
enabled, checking the CPU feature flag in mtrr_save_fixed_ranges() is
unnecessary.

in the code as a raw u32 array, or even just a pointer to u32. This
weak typing is error-prone. Instead, introduce struct chacha_state:

Page table pages are normally freed using the appropriate helper for the
given page table level. On x86, pud_free_pmd_page() and
pmd_free_pte_page() are an exception to the rule: they call free_page()
directly.
Constructor/destructor calls are about to be introduced for kernel PTEs.
To avoid missing dtor calls in those helpers, free the PTE pages using
pte_free_kernel() instead of free_page().
While at it also use pmd_free() instead of calling pagetable_dtor()
explicitly at the PMD level.

Patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables", v2.
There has been much confusion around exactly when page table
constructors/destructors (pagetable_*_[cd]tor) are supposed to be called.
They were initially introduced for user PTEs only (to support split page
table locks), then at the PMD level for the same purpose. Accounting was
added later on, starting at the PTE level and then moving to higher levels
(PMD, PUD). Finally, with my earlier series "Account page tables at all
levels" [1], the ctor/dtor is run for all levels, all the way to PGD.
I thought this was the end of the story, and it hopefully is for user
pgtables, but I was wrong for what concerns kernel pgtables. The current
situation there makes very little sense:
* At the PTE level, the ctor/dtor is not called (at least in the generic
implementation). Specific helpers are used for kernel pgtables at this
level (pte_{alloc,free}_kernel()) and those have never called the
ctor/dtor, most likely because they were initially irrelevant in the
kernel case.
* At all other levels, the ctor/dtor is normally called. This is
potentially wasteful at the PMD level (more on that later).
This series aims to ensure that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel
pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables. Besides consistency, the
main motivation is to guarantee that ctor/dtor hooks are systematically
called; this makes it possible to insert hooks to protect page tables [2],
for instance. There is however an extra challenge: split locks are not
used for kernel pgtables, and it would therefore be wasteful to initialise
them (ptlock_init()).
It is worth clarifying exactly when split locks are used. They clearly
are for user pgtables, but as illustrated in commit 61444cde9170 ("ARM:
8591/1: mm: use fully constructed struct pages for EFI pgd allocations"),
they also are for special page tables like efi_mm. The one case where
split locks are definitely unused is pgtables owned by init_mm; this is
consistent with the behaviour of apply_to_pte_range().
The approach chosen in this series is therefore to pass the mm associated
to the pgtables being constructed to pagetable_{pte,pmd}_ctor() (patch 1),
and skip ptlock_init() if mm == &init_mm (patch 3 and 7). This makes it
possible to call the PTE ctor/dtor from pte_{alloc,free}_kernel() without
unintended consequences (patch 3). As a result the accounting functions
are now called at all levels for kernel pgtables, and split locks are
never initialised.
In configurations where ptlocks are dynamically allocated (32-bit,
PREEMPT_RT, etc.) and ARCH_ENABLE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCK is selected, this
series results in the removal of a kmem_cache allocation for every kernel
PMD. Additionally, for certain architectures that do not use
<asm-generic/pgalloc.h> such as s390, the same optimisation occurs at the
PTE level.
===
Things get more complicated when it comes to special pgtable allocators
(patch 8-12). All architectures need such allocators to create initial
kernel pgtables; we are not concerned with those as the ctor cannot be
called so early in the boot sequence. However, those allocators may also
be used later in the boot sequence or during normal operations. There are
two main use-cases:
1. Mapping EFI memory: efi_mm (arm, arm64, riscv)
2. arch_add_memory(): init_mm
The ctor is already explicitly run (at the PTE/PMD level) in the first
case, as required for pgtables that are not associated with init_mm.
However the same allocators may also be used for the second use-case (or
others), and this is where it gets messy. Patch 1 calls the ctor with
NULL as mm in those situations, as the actual mm isn't available.
Practically this means that ptlocks will be unconditionally initialised.
This is fine on arm - create_mapping_late() is only used for the EFI
mapping. On arm64, __create_pgd_mapping() is also used by
arch_add_memory(); patch 8/9/11 ensure that ctors are called at all levels
with the appropriate mm. The situation is similar on riscv, but
propagating the mm down to the ctor would require significant refactoring.
Since they are already called unconditionally, this series leaves riscv
no worse off - patch 10 adds comments to clarify the situation.
From a cursory look at other architectures implementing arch_add_memory(),
s390 and x86 may also need a similar treatment to add constructor calls.
This is to be taken care of in a future version or as a follow-up.
===
The complications in those special pgtable allocators beg the question:
does it really make sense to treat efi_mm and init_mm differently in e.g.
apply_to_pte_range()? Maybe what we really need is a way to tell if an mm
corresponds to user memory or not, and never use split locks for non-user
mm's. Feedback and suggestions welcome!
This patch (of 12):
In preparation for calling constructors for all kernel page tables while
eliding unnecessary ptlock initialisation, let's pass down the associated
mm to the PTE/PMD level ctors. (These are the two levels where ptlocks
are used.)
In most cases the mm is already around at the point of calling the ctor so
we simply pass it down. This is however not the case for special page
table allocators:
* arch/arm/mm/mmu.c
* arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c
* arch/riscv/mm/init.c
In those cases, the page tables being allocated are either for standard
kernel memory (init_mm) or special page directories, which may not be
associated to any mm. For now let's pass NULL as mm; this will be refined
where possible in future patches.
No functional change in this patch.

Last argument in effective_prot() is u64 assuming pxd_val() returned value
(all page table levels) is 64 bit. pxd_val() is very platform specific
and its type should not be assumed in generic MM.
Split effective_prot() into individual page table level specific callbacks
which accepts corresponding pxd_t argument instead and then the
subscribing platform (only x86) just derive pxd_val() from the entries as
required and proceed as earlier.

Patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64", v2.
Last argument passed down in note_page() is u64 assuming pxd_val()
returned value (all page table levels) is 64 bit - which might not be the
case going ahead when D128 page tables is enabled on arm64 platform.
Besides pxd_val() is very platform specific and its type should not be
assumed in generic MM. A similar problem exists for effective_prot(),
although it is restricted to x86 platform.
This series splits note_page() and effective_prot() into individual page
table level specific callbacks which accepts corresponding pxd_t page
table entry as an argument instead and later on all subscribing platforms
could derive pxd_val() from the table entries as required and proceed as
before.
Define ptdesc_t type which describes the basic page table descriptor
layout on arm64 platform. Subsequently all level specific pxxval_t
descriptors are derived from ptdesc_t thus establishing a common original
format, which can also be appropriate for page table entries, masks and
protection values etc which are used at all page table levels.
This patch (of 3):

page that was being handled earlier via level = -1.

Systems with hotplug may provide an advisement value on what the memblock
size should be. Probe this value when the rest of the configuration
values are considered.
The new heuristic is as follows
1) set_memory_block_size_order value if already set (cmdline param)
2) minimum block size if memory is less than large block limit
3) if no hotplug advice: Max block size if system is bare-metal,
otherwise use end of memory alignment.
4) if hotplug advice: lesser of advice and end of memory alignment.

Pull x86 ITS mitigation from Dave Hansen:
"Mitigate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) issue.
I'd describe this one as a good old CPU bug where the behavior is
_obviously_ wrong, but since it just results in bad predictions it
wasn't wrong enough to notice. Well, the researchers noticed and also
realized that thus bug undermined a bunch of existing indirect branch
mitigations.
Thus the unusually wide impact on this one. Details:
ITS is a bug in some Intel CPUs that affects indirect branches
including RETs in the first half of a cacheline. Due to ITS such
branches may get wrongly predicted to a target of (direct or indirect)
branch that is located in the second half of a cacheline. Researchers
at VUSec found this behavior and reported to Intel.
Affected processors:
- Cascade Lake, Cooper Lake, Whiskey Lake V, Coffee Lake R, Comet
Lake, Ice Lake, Tiger Lake and Rocket Lake.
Scope of impact:
- Guest/host isolation:
When eIBRS is used for guest/host isolation, the indirect branches
in the VMM may still be predicted with targets corresponding to
direct branches in the guest.
- Intra-mode using cBPF:
cBPF can be used to poison the branch history to exploit ITS.
Realigning the indirect branches and RETs mitigates this attack
vector.
- User/kernel:
With eIBRS enabled user/kernel isolation is *not* impacted by ITS.
- Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB):
Due to this bug indirect branches may be predicted with targets
corresponding to direct branches which were executed prior to IBPB.
This will be fixed in the microcode.
Mitigation:
As indirect branches in the first half of cacheline are affected, the
mitigation is to replace those indirect branches with a call to thunk that
is aligned to the second half of the cacheline.
RETs that take prediction from RSB are not affected, but they may be
affected by RSB-underflow condition. So, RETs in the first half of
cacheline are also patched to a return thunk that executes the RET aligned
to second half of cacheline"

Pull x86 IBTI mitigation from Dave Hansen:
"Mitigate Intra-mode Branch History Injection via classic BFP programs
This adds the branch history clearing mitigation to cBPF programs for
x86. Intra-mode BHI attacks via cBPF a.k.a IBTI-History was reported
by researchers at VUSec.
For hardware that doesn't support BHI_DIS_S, the recommended
mitigation is to run the short software sequence followed by the IBHF
instruction after cBPF execution. On hardware that does support
BHI_DIS_S, enable BHI_DIS_S and execute the IBHF after cBPF execution.
The Indirect Branch History Fence (IBHF) is a new instruction that
prevents indirect branch target predictions after the barrier from
using branch history from before the barrier while BHI_DIS_S is
enabled. On older systems this will map to a NOP. It is recommended to
add this fence at the end of the cBPF program to support VM migration.
This instruction is required on newer parts with BHI_NO to fully
mitigate against these attacks.
The current code disables the mitigation for anything running with the
SYS_ADMIN capability bit set. The intention was not to waste time
mitigating a process that has access to anything it wants anyway"

RISC-V:
- Add missing reset of smstateen CSRs

- Forcibly leave SMM on SHUTDOWN interception on AMD CPUs to avoid
causing problems due to KVM stuffing INIT on SHUTDOWN (KVM needs to
sanitize the VMCB as its state is undefined after SHUTDOWN,
emulating INIT is the least awful choice).
- Track the valid sync/dirty fields in kvm_run as a u64 to ensure KVM
KVM doesn't goof a sanity check in the future.
- Free obsolete roots when (re)loading the MMU to fix a bug where
pre-faulting memory can get stuck due to always encountering a
stale root.
- When dumping GHCB state, use KVM's snapshot instead of the raw GHCB
page to print state, so that KVM doesn't print stale/wrong
information.
- When changing memory attributes (e.g. shared <=> private), add
potential hugepage ranges to the mmu_invalidate_range_{start,end}
set so that KVM doesn't create a shared/private hugepage when the
the corresponding attributes will become mixed (the attributes are
commited *after* KVM finishes the invalidation).

0x100000016 (the requested VMPL level is specified in GHCBData[39:32]).
Fix the precedence issue by grouping the masked value before applying
the shift.

KVM x86 fixes for 6.15-rcN
- Forcibly leave SMM on SHUTDOWN interception on AMD CPUs to avoid causing
problems due to KVM stuffing INIT on SHUTDOWN (KVM needs to sanitize the
VMCB as its state is undefined after SHUTDOWN, emulating INIT is the
least awful choice).
- Track the valid sync/dirty fields in kvm_run as a u64 to ensure KVM
KVM doesn't goof a sanity check in the future.
- Free obsolete roots when (re)loading the MMU to fix a bug where
pre-faulting memory can get stuck due to always encountering a stale
root.
- When dumping GHCB state, use KVM's snapshot instead of the raw GHCB page
to print state, so that KVM doesn't print stale/wrong information.
- When changing memory attributes (e.g. shared <=> private), add potential
hugepage ranges to the mmu_invalidate_range_{start,end} set so that KVM
doesn't create a shared/private hugepage when the the corresponding
attributes will become mixed (the attributes are commited *after* KVM
finishes the invalidation).
- Rework the SRSO mitigation to enable BP_SPEC_REDUCE only when KVM has at
least one active VM. Effectively BP_SPEC_REDUCE when KVM is loaded led
to very measurable performance regressions for non-KVM workloads.

Make the architecture-optimized CRC code do its CPU feature checks in
subsys_initcalls instead of arch_initcalls. This makes it consistent
with arch/*/lib/crypto/ and ensures that it runs after initcalls that
possibly could be a prerequisite for kernel-mode FPU, such as x86's
xfd_update_static_branch() and loongarch's init_euen_mask().
Note: as far as I can tell, x86's xfd_update_static_branch() isn't
*actually* needed for kernel-mode FPU. loongarch's init_euen_mask() is
needed to enable save/restore of the vector registers, but loongarch
doesn't yet have any CRC or crypto code that uses vector registers
anyway. Regardless, let's be consistent with arch/*/lib/crypto/ and
robust against any potential future dependency on an arch_initcall.

FineIBT-paranoid was using the retpoline bytes for the paranoid check,
disabling retpolines, because all parts that have IBT also have eIBRS
and thus don't need no stinking retpolines.
Except... ITS needs the retpolines for indirect calls must not be in
the first half of a cacheline :-/
So what was the paranoid call sequence:
<fineibt_paranoid_start>:
0: 41 ba 78 56 34 12 mov $0x12345678, %r10d
6: 45 3b 53 f7 cmp -0x9(%r11), %r10d
a: 4d 8d 5b <f0> lea -0x10(%r11), %r11
e: 75 fd jne d <fineibt_paranoid_start+0xd>
10: 41 ff d3 call *%r11
13: 90 nop
Now becomes:
<fineibt_paranoid_start>:
0: 41 ba 78 56 34 12 mov $0x12345678, %r10d
6: 45 3b 53 f7 cmp -0x9(%r11), %r10d
a: 4d 8d 5b f0 lea -0x10(%r11), %r11
e: 2e e8 XX XX XX XX cs call __x86_indirect_paranoid_thunk_r11
Where the paranoid_thunk looks like:
1d: <ea> (bad)
__x86_indirect_paranoid_thunk_r11:
1e: 75 fd jne 1d
__x86_indirect_its_thunk_r11:
20: 41 ff eb jmp *%r11
23: cc int3

ITS mitigation moves the unsafe indirect branches to a safe thunk. This
could degrade the prediction accuracy as the source address of indirect
branches becomes same for different execution paths.
To improve the predictions, and hence the performance, assign a separate
thunk for each indirect callsite. This is also a defense-in-depth measure
to avoid indirect branches aliasing with each other.
As an example, 5000 dynamic thunks would utilize around 16 bits of the
address space, thereby gaining entropy. For a BTB that uses
32 bits for indexing, dynamic thunks could provide better prediction
accuracy over fixed thunks.
Have ITS thunks be variable sized and use EXECMEM_MODULE_TEXT such that
they are both more flexible (got to extend them later) and live in 2M TLBs,
just like kernel code, avoiding undue TLB pressure.

cfi_rewrite_callers() updates the fineIBT hash matching at the caller side,
but except for paranoid-mode it relies on apply_retpoline() and friends for
any ENDBR relocation. This could temporarily cause an indirect branch to
land on a poisoned ENDBR.
For instance, with para-virtualization enabled, a simple wrmsrl() could
have an indirect branch pointing to native_write_msr() who's ENDBR has been
relocated due to fineIBT:
<wrmsrl>:
push %rbp
mov %rsp,%rbp
mov %esi,%eax
mov %rsi,%rdx
shr $0x20,%rdx
mov %edi,%edi
mov %rax,%rsi
call *0x21e65d0(%rip) # <pv_ops+0xb8>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Such an indirect call during the alternative patching could #CP if the
caller is not *yet* adjusted for the new target ENDBR. To prevent a false
#CP, keep CET-IBT disabled until all callers are patched.
Patching during the module load does not need to be guarded by IBT-disable
because the module code is not executed until the patching is complete.

Early kernel memory is RWX, only at the end of early boot (before SMP)
do we mark things ROX. Have execmem_cache mirror this behaviour for
early users.
This avoids having to remember what code is execmem and what is not --
we can poke everything with impunity ;-) Also performance for not
having to do endless text_poke_mm switches.

The software mitigation for BHI is to execute BHB clear sequence at syscall
entry, and possibly after a cBPF program. ITS mitigation thunks RETs in the
lower half of the cacheline. This causes the RETs in the BHB clear sequence
to be thunked as well, adding unnecessary branches to the BHB clear
sequence.
Since the sequence is in hot path, align the RET instructions in the
sequence to avoid thunking.
This is how disassembly clear_bhb_loop() looks like after this change:

0x49 <+9>: call 0xffffffff81001d9b <clear_bhb_loop+91>

Ice Lake generation CPUs are not affected by guest/host isolation part of
ITS. If a user is only concerned about KVM guests, they can now choose a
new cmdline option "vmexit" that will not deploy the ITS mitigation when
CPU is not affected by guest/host isolation. This saves the performance
overhead of ITS mitigation on Ice Lake gen CPUs.
When "vmexit" option selected, if the CPU is affected by ITS guest/host
isolation, the default ITS mitigation is deployed.

Indirect Target Selection (ITS) is a bug in some pre-ADL Intel CPUs with
eIBRS. It affects prediction of indirect branch and RETs in the
lower half of cacheline. Due to ITS such branches may get wrongly predicted
to a target of (direct or indirect) branch that is located in the upper
half of the cacheline.
Scope of impact
===============
Guest/host isolation
--------------------
When eIBRS is used for guest/host isolation, the indirect branches in the
VMM may still be predicted with targets corresponding to branches in the
guest.
Intra-mode
----------
cBPF or other native gadgets can be used for intra-mode training and
disclosure using ITS.
User/kernel isolation
---------------------
When eIBRS is enabled user/kernel isolation is not impacted.
Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB)
-----------------------------------------
After an IBPB, indirect branches may be predicted with targets
corresponding to direct branches which were executed prior to IBPB. This is
mitigated by a microcode update.
Add cmdline parameter indirect_target_selection=off|on|force to control the
mitigation to relocate the affected branches to an ITS-safe thunk i.e.
located in the upper half of cacheline. Also add the sysfs reporting.
When retpoline mitigation is deployed, ITS safe-thunks are not needed,
because retpoline sequence is already ITS-safe. Similarly, when call depth
tracking (CDT) mitigation is deployed (retbleed=stuff), ITS safe return
thunk is not used, as CDT prevents RSB-underflow.
To not overcomplicate things, ITS mitigation is not supported with
spectre-v2 lfence;jmp mitigation. Moreover, it is less practical to deploy
lfence;jmp mitigation on ITS affected parts anyways.

RETs in the lower half of cacheline may be affected by ITS bug,
specifically when the RSB-underflows. Use ITS-safe return thunk for such
RETs.
RETs that are not patched:
- RET in retpoline sequence does not need to be patched, because the
sequence itself fills an RSB before RET.
- RET in Call Depth Tracking (CDT) thunks __x86_indirect_{call|jump}_thunk
and call_depth_return_thunk are not patched because CDT by design
prevents RSB-underflow.
- RETs in .init section are not reachable after init.
- RETs that are explicitly marked safe with ANNOTATE_UNRET_SAFE.
