Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Two families of fixes:

   - Fix an FPU context related boot crash on newer x86 hardware with
     larger context sizes than what most people test.  To fix this
     without ugly kludges or extensive reverts we had to touch core task
     allocator, to allow x86 to determine the task size dynamically, at
     boot time.

     I've tested it on a number of x86 platforms, and I cross-built it
     to a handful of architectures:

                                        (warns)               (warns)
       testing     x86-64:  -git:  pass (    0),  -tip:  pass (    0)
       testing     x86-32:  -git:  pass (    0),  -tip:  pass (    0)
       testing        arm:  -git:  pass ( 1359),  -tip:  pass ( 1359)
       testing       cris:  -git:  pass ( 1031),  -tip:  pass ( 1031)
       testing       m32r:  -git:  pass ( 1135),  -tip:  pass ( 1135)
       testing       m68k:  -git:  pass ( 1471),  -tip:  pass ( 1471)
       testing       mips:  -git:  pass ( 1162),  -tip:  pass ( 1162)
       testing    mn10300:  -git:  pass ( 1058),  -tip:  pass ( 1058)
       testing     parisc:  -git:  pass ( 1846),  -tip:  pass ( 1846)
       testing      sparc:  -git:  pass ( 1185),  -tip:  pass ( 1185)

     ... so I hope the cross-arch impact 'none', as intended.

   - Fix various NMI handling related bugs unearthed by the big asm code
     rewrite and generally make the NMI code more robust and more
     maintainable while at it.  These changes are a bit late in the
     cycle, I hope they are still acceptable.

Don't burden architectures without dynamic task_struct sizing
with the overhead of dynamic sizing.

Also optimize the x86 code a bit by caching task_struct_size.

x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'

2015-07-18T01:42:35+00:00

The FPU rewrite removed the dynamic allocations of 'struct fpu'.
But, this potentially wastes massive amounts of memory (2k per
task on systems that do not have AVX-512 for instance).

Instead of having a separate slab, this patch just appends the
space that we need to the 'task_struct' which we dynamically
allocate already.  This saves from doing an extra slab
allocation at fork().

The only real downside here is that we have to stick everything
and the end of the task_struct.  But, I think the
BUILD_BUG_ON()s I stuck in there should keep that from being too
fragile.

mm: clean up per architecture MM hook header files

2015-07-17T23:39:53+00:00

Commit 2ae416b142b6 ("mm: new mm hook framework") introduced an empty
header file (mm-arch-hooks.h) for every architecture, even those which
doesn't need to define mm hooks.

As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use
of a generic header file included via each per architecture
asm/include/Kbuild file.

The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has
to defined the arch_remap MM hook.

x86/entry/64, x86/nmi/64: Add CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY NMI testing code

2015-07-17T10:50:14+00:00

It turns out to be rather tedious to test the NMI nesting code.
Make it easier: add a new CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY option that causes
the NMI handler to pre-emptively unmask NMIs.

With this option set, errors in the repeat_nmi logic or failures
to detect that we're in a nested NMI will result in quick panics
under perf (especially if multiple counters are running at high
frequency) instead of requiring an unusual workload that
generates page faults or breakpoints inside NMIs.

I called it CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY instead of CONFIG_DEBUG_NMI_ENTRY
because I want to add new non-NMI checks elsewhere in the entry
code in the future, and I'd rather not add too many new config
options or add this option and then immediately rename it.

x86/nmi/64: Make the "NMI executing" variable more consistent

2015-07-17T10:50:13+00:00

Currently, "NMI executing" is one the first time an outermost
NMI hits repeat_nmi and zero thereafter.  Change it to be zero
each time for consistency.

This is intended to help NMI handling fail harder if it's buggy.

x86/nmi/64: Use DF to avoid userspace RSP confusing nested NMI detection

2015-07-17T10:50:12+00:00

We have a tricky bug in the nested NMI code: if we see RSP
pointing to the NMI stack on NMI entry from kernel mode, we
assume that we are executing a nested NMI.

This isn't quite true.  A malicious userspace program can point
RSP at the NMI stack, issue SYSCALL, and arrange for an NMI to
happen while RSP is still pointing at the NMI stack.

Fix it with a sneaky trick.  Set DF in the region of code that
the RSP check is intended to detect.  IRET will clear DF
atomically.

( Note: other than paravirt, there's little need for all this
  complexity. We could check RIP instead of RSP. )
