commit 6007b080d2e2adb7af22bf29165f0594ea12b34c upstream.

In Cilium some of the main programs we run today are hitting 9 passes
on x64's JIT compiler, and we've had cases already where we surpassed
the limit where the JIT then punts the program to the interpreter
instead, leading to insertion failures due to CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON
or insertion failures due to the prog array owner being JITed but the
program to insert not (both must have the same JITed/non-JITed property).

One concrete case the program image shrunk from 12,767 bytes down to
10,288 bytes where the image converged after 16 steps. I've measured
that this took 340us in the JIT until it converges on my i7-6600U. Thus,
increase the original limit we had from day one where the JIT covered
cBPF only back then before we run into the case (as similar with the
complexity limit) where we trip over this and hit program rejections.
Also add a cond_resched() into the compilation loop, the JIT process
runs without any locks and may sleep anyway.

<title>perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix multi-domain PCI CHA enumeration bug on Skylake servers</title>

<id>9c0d0a0c79ee7e1c0834594a5a8f4e701067828f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 320b0651f32b830add6497fcdcfdcb6ae8c7b8a0 upstream.

The number of CHAs is miscalculated on multi-domain PCI Skylake server systems,
resulting in an uncore driver initialization error.

Gary Kroening explains:

 "For systems with a single PCI segment, it is sufficient to look for the
  bus number to change in order to determine that all of the CHa's have
  been counted for a single socket.

  However, for multi PCI segment systems, each socket is given a new
  segment and the bus number does NOT change.  So looking only for the
  bus number to change ends up counting all of the CHa's on all sockets
  in the system.  This leads to writing CPU MSRs beyond a valid range and
  causes an error in ivbep_uncore_msr_init_box()."

To fix this bug, query the number of CHAs from the CAPID6 register:
it should read bits 27:0 in the CAPID6 register located at
Device 30, Function 3, Offset 0x9C. These 28 bits form a bit vector
of available LLC slices and the CHAs that manage those slices.

commit e5ea9b54a055619160bbfe527ebb7d7191823d66 upstream.

We intended to clear the lowest 6 bits but because of a type bug we
clear the high 32 bits as well.  Andi says that periods are rarely more
than U32_MAX so this bug probably doesn't have a huge runtime impact.

commit d8ba61ba58c88d5207c1ba2f7d9a2280e7d03be9 upstream.

There's nothing IST-worthy about #BP/int3.  We don't allow kprobes
in the small handful of places in the kernel that run at CPL0 with
an invalid stack, and 32-bit kernels have used normal interrupt
gates for #BP forever.

Furthermore, we don't allow kprobes in places that have usergs while
in kernel mode, so "paranoid" is also unnecessary.

commit e3d03598e8ae7d195af5d3d049596dec336f569f upstream.

Binutils 2.31 will enable -z separate-code by default for x86 to avoid
mixing code pages with data to improve cache performance as well as
security.  To reduce x86-64 executable and shared object sizes, the
maximum page size is reduced from 2MB to 4KB.  But x86-64 kernel must
be aligned to 2MB.  Pass -z max-page-size=0x200000 to linker to force
2MB page size regardless of the default page size used by linker.

Tested with Linux kernel 4.15.6 on x86-64.

commit e3d03598e8ae7d195af5d3d049596dec336f569f upstream.

Binutils 2.31 will enable -z separate-code by default for x86 to avoid
mixing code pages with data to improve cache performance as well as
security.  To reduce x86-64 executable and shared object sizes, the
maximum page size is reduced from 2MB to 4KB.  But x86-64 kernel must
be aligned to 2MB.  Pass -z max-page-size=0x200000 to linker to force
2MB page size regardless of the default page size used by linker.

Tested with Linux kernel 4.15.6 on x86-64.

<title>kvm/x86: fix icebp instruction handling</title>

commit 32d43cd391bacb5f0814c2624399a5dad3501d09 upstream.

The undocumented 'icebp' instruction (aka 'int1') works pretty much like
'int3' in the absense of in-circuit probing equipment (except,
obviously, that it raises #DB instead of raising #BP), and is used by
some validation test-suites as such.

But Andy Lutomirski noticed that his test suite acted differently in kvm
than on bare hardware.

The reason is that kvm used an inexact test for the icebp instruction:
it just assumed that an all-zero VM exit qualification value meant that
the VM exit was due to icebp.

That is not unlike the guess that do_debug() does for the actual
exception handling case, but it's purely a heuristic, not an absolute
rule.  do_debug() does it because it wants to ascribe _some_ reasons to
the #DB that happened, and an empty %dr6 value means that 'icebp' is the
most likely casue and we have no better information.

But kvm can just do it right, because unlike the do_debug() case, kvm
actually sees the real reason for the #DB in the VM-exit interruption
information field.

So instead of relying on an inexact heuristic, just use the actual VM
exit information that says "it was 'icebp'".

Right now the 'icebp' instruction isn't technically documented by Intel,
but that will hopefully change.  The special "privileged software
exception" information _is_ actually mentioned in the Intel SDM, even
though the cause of it isn't enumerated.

commit 28ee90fe6048fa7b7ceaeb8831c0e4e454a4cf89 upstream.

Implement pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page() on x86, which
clear a given pud/pmd entry and free up lower level page table(s).

The address range associated with the pud/pmd entry must have been
purged by INVLPG.

<title>mm/vmalloc: add interfaces to free unmapped page table</title>

commit b6bdb7517c3d3f41f20e5c2948d6bc3f8897394e upstream.

On architectures with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP set, ioremap() may
create pud/pmd mappings.  A kernel panic was observed on arm64 systems
with Cortex-A75 in the following steps as described by Hanjun Guo.

 1. ioremap a 4K size, valid page table will build,
 2. iounmap it, pte0 will set to 0;
 3. ioremap the same address with 2M size, pgd/pmd is unchanged,
    then set the a new value for pmd;
 4. pte0 is leaked;
 5. CPU may meet exception because the old pmd is still in TLB,
    which will lead to kernel panic.

This panic is not reproducible on x86.  INVLPG, called from iounmap,
purges all levels of entries associated with purged address on x86.  x86
still has memory leak.

The patch changes the ioremap path to free unmapped page table(s) since
doing so in the unmap path has the following issues:

 - The iounmap() path is shared with vunmap(). Since vmap() only
   supports pte mappings, making vunmap() to free a pte page is an
   overhead for regular vmap users as they do not need a pte page freed
   up.

 - Checking if all entries in a pte page are cleared in the unmap path
   is racy, and serializing this check is expensive.

 - The unmap path calls free_vmap_area_noflush() to do lazy TLB purges.
   Clearing a pud/pmd entry before the lazy TLB purges needs extra TLB
   purge.

Add two interfaces, pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page(), which
clear a given pud/pmd entry and free up a page for the lower level
entries.

This patch implements their stub functions on x86 and arm64, which work
as workaround.
