<content type='text'>
The choice containing the CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE symbol
accidentally added a "CONFIG_" prefix when trying to make it the
default, selecting an undefined symbol as the default.

The mistake is harmless here: Since the default symbol is not visible,
the choice falls back on using the visible symbol as the default
instead, which is CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE, as intended.

A patch that makes Kconfig print a warning in this case has been
submitted separately:

 "Another chunk of fmount preparations from dhowells; only trivial
  conflicts for that part. It separates MS_... bits (very grotty

  This does *not* convert the filesystems to new constants; only the

  conflicts would be; that's the conversion of filesystems. It's purely

Patch series "Command line randomness", v3.

A series to add the kernel command line as a source of randomness.

This patch (of 2):

Stack canary intialization involves getting a random number.  Getting this
random number may involve accessing caches or other architectural specific
features which are not available until after the architecture is setup.
Move the stack canary initialization later to accommodate this.

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of changes for percpu this time around. percpu inherited the
  same area allocator from the original pre-virtual-address-mapped
  implementation. This was from the time when percpu allocator wasn't
  used all that much and the implementation was focused on simplicity,
  with the unfortunate computational complexity of O(number of areas
  allocated from the chunk) per alloc / free.

  With the increase in percpu usage, we're hitting cases where the lack
  of scalability is hurting. The most prominent one right now is bpf
  perpcu map creation / destruction which may allocate and free a lot of

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of changes for percpu this time around. percpu inherited the
  same area allocator from the original pre-virtual-address-mapped
  implementation. This was from the time when percpu allocator wasn't
  used all that much and the implementation was focused on simplicity,
  with the unfortunate computational complexity of O(number of areas
  allocated from the chunk) per alloc / free.

  With the increase in percpu usage, we're hitting cases where the lack
  of scalability is hurting. The most prominent one right now is bpf
  perpcu map creation / destruction which may allocate and free a lot of
  entries consecutively and it's likely that the problem will become
  more prominent in the future.

<title>mm, memory_hotplug: drop zone from build_all_zonelists</title>

build_all_zonelists gets a zone parameter to initialize zone's pagesets.
There is only a single user which gives a non-NULL zone parameter and
that one doesn't really need the rest of the build_all_zonelists (see
commit 6dcd73d7011b ("memory-hotplug: allocate zone's pcp before
onlining pages")).

Therefore remove setup_zone_pageset from build_all_zonelists and call it
from its only user directly.  This will also remove a pointless zonlists
rebuilding which is always good.

<title>mm: add SLUB free list pointer obfuscation</title>
<updated>2017-09-07T00:27:24+00:00</updated>

<name>Kees Cook</name>
<email>keescook@chromium.org</email>

<published>2017-09-06T23:19:18+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=2482ddec670fb83717d129012bc558777cb159f7'/>
<id>2482ddec670fb83717d129012bc558777cb159f7</id>
<content type='text'>
This SLUB free list pointer obfuscation code is modified from Brad
Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX
based on my understanding of the code.  Changes or omissions from the
original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX
code.

This adds a per-cache random value to SLUB caches that is XORed with
their freelist pointer address and value.  This adds nearly zero
overhead and frustrates the very common heap overflow exploitation
method of overwriting freelist pointers.

A recent example of the attack is written up here:

  http://cyseclabs.com/blog/cve-2016-6187-heap-off-by-one-exploit

and there is a section dedicated to the technique the book "A Guide to
Kernel Exploitation: Attacking the Core".

This is based on patches by Daniel Micay, and refactored to minimize the
use of #ifdef.

With 200-count cycles of "hackbench -g 20 -l 1000" I saw the following
run times:

 before:
 	mean 10.11882499999999999995
	variance .03320378329145728642
	stdev .18221905304181911048

  after:
	mean 10.12654000000000000014
	variance .04700556623115577889
	stdev .21680767106160192064

The difference gets lost in the noise, but if the above is to be taken
literally, using CONFIG_FREELIST_HARDENED is 0.07% slower.

Pull x86 mm changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "PCID support, 5-level paging support, Secure Memory Encryption support

  The main changes in this cycle are support for three new, complex
  hardware features of x86 CPUs:

   - Add 5-level paging support, which is a new hardware feature on
     upcoming Intel CPUs allowing up to 128 PB of virtual address space
     and 4 PB of physical RAM space - a 512-fold increase over the old
     limits. (Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an
     ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.)

     Many of the necessary changes went upstream in previous cycles,
     v4.14 is the first kernel that can enable 5-level paging.

     This feature is activated via CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y - disabled by
     default.

     (By Kirill A. Shutemov)

   - Add 'encrypted memory' support, which is a new hardware feature on
     upcoming AMD CPUs ('Secure Memory Encryption', SME) allowing system
     RAM to be encrypted and decrypted (mostly) transparently by the
     CPU, with a little help from the kernel to transition to/from
     encrypted RAM. Such RAM should be more secure against various
     attacks like RAM access via the memory bus and should make the
     radio signature of memory bus traffic harder to intercept (and
     decrypt) as well.

     This feature is activated via CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y - disabled
     by default.

     (By Tom Lendacky)

   - Enable PCID optimized TLB flushing on newer Intel CPUs: PCID is a
     hardware feature that attaches an address space tag to TLB entries
     and thus allows to skip TLB flushing in many cases, even if we
     switch mm's.

     (By Andy Lutomirski)

  All three of these features were in the works for a long time, and
  it's coincidence of the three independent development paths that they
  are all enabled in v4.14 at once"

* 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (65 commits)
  x86/mm: Enable RCU based page table freeing (CONFIG_HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE=y)

  kvm/x86: Avoid clearing the C-bit in rsvd_bits()
