kprobe_emulate_call_indirect currently uses int3_emulate_call to emulate
indirect calls. However, int3_emulate_call always assumes the size of
the call to be 5 bytes when calculating the return address. This is
incorrect for register-based indirect calls in x86, which can be either
2 or 3 bytes depending on whether REX prefix is used. At kprobe runtime,
the incorrect return address causes control flow to land onto the wrong
place after return -- possibly not a valid instruction boundary. This
can lead to a panic like the following:

[    7.333044][    C1] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt ]---

The relevant assembly code is (from objdump, faulting address
highlighted):

ffffffff8102ed9d:       41 ff d3                  call   *%r11
ffffffff8102eda0:       65 48 &lt;8b&gt; 05 30 c7 ff    mov    %gs:0x7effc730(%rip),%rax

The emulation incorrectly sets the return address to be ffffffff8102ed9d
+ 0x5 = ffffffff8102eda2, which is the 8b byte in the middle of the next
mov. This in turn causes incorrect subsequent instruction decoding and
eventually triggers the page fault above.

Instead of invoking int3_emulate_call, perform push and jmp emulation
directly in kprobe_emulate_call_indirect. At this point we can obtain
the instruction size from p-&gt;ainsn.size so that we can calculate the
correct return address.

the incorrect return address causes control flow to land onto the wrong

can lead to a panic like the following:

[    7.333044][    C1] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt ]---

The relevant assembly code is (from objdump, faulting address
highlighted):

ffffffff8102ed9d:       41 ff d3                  call   *%r11
ffffffff8102eda0:       65 48 &lt;8b&gt; 05 30 c7 ff    mov    %gs:0x7effc730(%rip),%rax

The emulation incorrectly sets the return address to be ffffffff8102ed9d
+ 0x5 = ffffffff8102eda2, which is the 8b byte in the middle of the next
mov. This in turn causes incorrect subsequent instruction decoding and
eventually triggers the page fault above.

Instead of invoking int3_emulate_call, perform push and jmp emulation
directly in kprobe_emulate_call_indirect. At this point we can obtain
the instruction size from p-&gt;ainsn.size so that we can calculate the
correct return address.

The recent fix to ignore invalid x2APIC entries inadvertently broke
systems with creative MADT APIC tables. The affected systems have APIC
MADT tables where all entries have invalid APIC IDs (0xFF), which means
they register exactly zero CPUs.

But the condition to ignore the entries of APIC IDs &lt; 255 in the X2APIC
MADT table is solely based on the count of MADT APIC table entries.

As a consequence, the affected machines enumerate no secondary CPUs at
all because the APIC table has entries and therefore the X2APIC table
entries with APIC IDs &lt; 255 are ignored.

Change the condition so that the APIC table preference for APIC IDs &lt;
255 only becomes effective when the APIC table has valid APIC ID
entries.

IOW, an APIC table full of invalid APIC IDs is considered to be empty
which in consequence enables the X2APIC table entries with a APIC ID
&lt; 255 and restores the expected behaviour.

<title>x86/alternatives: Disable interrupts and sync when optimizing NOPs in place</title>

apply_alternatives() treats alternatives with the ALT_FLAG_NOT flag set
special as it optimizes the existing NOPs in place.

Unfortunately, this happens with interrupts enabled and does not provide any
form of core synchronization.

So an interrupt hitting in the middle of the update and using the affected code
path will observe a half updated NOP and crash and burn. The following
3 NOP sequence was observed to expose this crash halfway reliably under QEMU
  32bit:

   0x90 0x90 0x90

which is replaced by the optimized 3 byte NOP:

   0x8d 0x76 0x00

So an interrupt can observe:

   1) 0x90 0x90 0x90		nop nop nop
   2) 0x8d 0x90 0x90		undefined
   3) 0x8d 0x76 0x90		lea    -0x70(%esi),%esi
   4) 0x8d 0x76 0x00		lea     0x0(%esi),%esi

Where only #1 and #4 are true NOPs. The same problem exists for 64bit obviously.

Disable interrupts around this NOP optimization and invoke sync_core()
before re-enabling them.

text_poke_early() does:

   local_irq_save(flags);
   memcpy(addr, opcode, len);
   local_irq_restore(flags);
   sync_core();

That's not really correct because the synchronization should happen before
interrupts are re-enabled to ensure that a pending interrupt observes the
complete update of the opcodes.

It's not entirely clear whether the interrupt entry provides enough
serialization already, but moving the sync_core() invocation into interrupt
disabled region does no harm and is obviously correct.

Chris reported that a Dell PowerEdge T340 system stopped to boot when upgrading
to a kernel which contains the parallel hotplug changes.  Disabling parallel
hotplug on the kernel command line makes it boot again.

It turns out that the Dell BIOS has x2APIC enabled and the boot CPU comes up in
X2APIC mode, but the APs come up inconsistently in xAPIC mode.

Parallel hotplug requires that the upcoming CPU reads out its APIC ID from the
local APIC in order to map it to the Linux CPU number.

In this particular case the readout on the APs uses the MMIO mapped registers
because the BIOS failed to enable x2APIC mode. That readout results in a page
fault because the kernel does not have the APIC MMIO space mapped when X2APIC
mode was enabled by the BIOS on the boot CPU and the kernel switched to X2APIC
mode early. That page fault can't be handled on the upcoming CPU that early and
results in a silent boot failure.

If parallel hotplug is disabled the system boots because in that case the APIC
ID read is not required as the Linux CPU number is provided to the AP in the
smpboot control word. When the kernel uses x2APIC mode then the APs are
switched to x2APIC mode too slightly later in the bringup process, but there is
no reason to do it that late.

Cure the BIOS bogosity by checking in the parallel bootup path whether the
kernel uses x2APIC mode and if so switching over the APs to x2APIC mode before
the APIC ID readout.

There is no real reason to have a separate ASM entry point implementation
for the legacy INT 0x80 syscall emulation on 64-bit.

IDTENTRY provides all the functionality needed with the only difference
that it does not:

  - save the syscall number (AX) into pt_regs::orig_ax
  - set pt_regs::ax to -ENOSYS

Both can be done safely in the C code of an IDTENTRY before invoking any of
the syscall related functions which depend on this convention.

Aside of ASM code reduction this prepares for detecting and handling a
local APIC injected vector 0x80.

Commit in Fixes added an AMD-specific microcode callback. However, it
didn't check the CPU vendor the kernel runs on explicitly.

The only reason the Zenbleed check in it didn't run on other x86 vendors
hardware was pure coincidental luck:

  if (!cpu_has_amd_erratum(c, amd_zenbleed))
	  return;

gives true on other vendors because they don't have those families and
models.

However, with the removal of the cpu_has_amd_erratum() in

  05f5f73936fa ("x86/CPU/AMD: Drop now unused CPU erratum checking function")

that coincidental condition is gone, leading to the zenbleed check
getting executed on other vendors too.

Add the explicit vendor check for the whole callback as it should've
been done in the first place.

<title>x86/sev: Fix kernel crash due to late update to read-only ghcb_version</title>

A write-access violation page fault kernel crash was observed while running
cpuhotplug LTP testcases on SEV-ES enabled systems. The crash was
observed during hotplug, after the CPU was offlined and the process
was migrated to different CPU. setup_ghcb() is called again which
tries to update ghcb_version in sev_es_negotiate_protocol(). Ideally this
is a read_only variable which is initialised during booting.

Trying to write it results in a pagefault:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffba556e70
  #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0003) - permissions violation
  [ ...]

   cpu_init_exception_handling+0x1b9/0x1f0

The fix is to call sev_es_negotiate_protocol() only in the BSP boot phase,
and it only needs to be done once in any case.
