kprobes: Make list and blacklist root user read only

2018-09-05T07:20:10+00:00

commit f2a3ab36077222437b4826fc76111caa14562b7c upstream.

Since the blacklist and list files on debugfs indicates
a sensitive address information to reader, it should be
restricted to the root user.

sched/sysctl: Check user input value of sysctl_sched_time_avg

2018-09-05T07:20:04+00:00

commit 5ccba44ba118a5000cccc50076b0344632459779 upstream.

System will hang if user set sysctl_sched_time_avg to 0:

  [root@XXX ~]# sysctl kernel.sched_time_avg_ms=0

Because divide-by-zero error happens in function:

update_group_capacity()
  update_cpu_capacity()
    scale_rt_capacity()
     {
          ...
          total = sched_avg_period() + delta;
          used = div_u64(avg, total);
          ...
     }

To fix this issue, check user input value of sysctl_sched_time_avg, keep
it unchanged when hitting invalid input, and set the minimum limit of
sysctl_sched_time_avg to 1 ms.

locking/lockdep: Do not record IRQ state within lockdep code

2018-08-24T11:12:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit fcc784be837714a9173b372ff9fb9b514590dad9 ]

While debugging where things were going wrong with mapping
enabling/disabling interrupts with the lockdep state and actual real
enabling and disabling interrupts, I had to silent the IRQ
disabling/enabling in debug_check_no_locks_freed() because it was
always showing up as it was called before the splat was.

Use raw_local_irq_save/restore() for not only debug_check_no_locks_freed()
but for all internal lockdep functions, as they hide useful information
about where interrupts were used incorrectly last.

cpu/hotplug: Non-SMP machines do not make use of booted_once

commit 269777aa530f3438ec1781586cdac0b5fe47b061 upstream.

Commit 0cc3cd21657b ("cpu/hotplug: Boot HT siblings at least once")
breaks non-SMP builds.

[ I suspect the 'bool' fields should just be made to be bitfields and be
  exposed regardless of configuration, but that's a separate cleanup
  that I'll leave to the owners of this file for later.   - Linus ]

cpu/hotplug: Fix SMT supported evaluation

2018-08-15T16:14:53+00:00

commit bc2d8d262cba5736332cbc866acb11b1c5748aa9 upstream

Josh reported that the late SMT evaluation in cpu_smt_state_init() sets
cpu_smt_control to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED in case that 'nosmt' was supplied
on the kernel command line as it cannot differentiate between SMT disabled
by BIOS and SMT soft disable via 'nosmt'. That wreckages the state and
makes the sysfs interface unusable.

Rework this so that during bringup of the non boot CPUs the availability of
SMT is determined in cpu_smt_allowed(). If a newly booted CPU is not a
'primary' thread then set the local cpu_smt_available marker and evaluate
this explicitely right after the initial SMP bringup has finished.

SMT evaulation on x86 is a trainwreck as the firmware has all the
information _before_ booting the kernel, but there is no interface to query
it.

cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS

2018-08-15T16:14:51+00:00

commit 73d5e2b472640b1fcdb61ae8be389912ef211bda upstream

If SMT is disabled in BIOS, the CPU code doesn't properly detect it.
The /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control file shows 'on', and the 'l1tf'
vulnerabilities file shows SMT as vulnerable.

Fix it by forcing 'cpu_smt_control' to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED in such a
case.  Unfortunately the detection can only be done after bringing all
the CPUs online, so we have to overwrite any previous writes to the
variable.

cpu/hotplug: Set CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED early

2018-08-15T16:14:50+00:00

commit fee0aede6f4739c87179eca76136f83210953b86 upstream

The CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED state is set (if the processor does not support
SMT) when the sysfs SMT control file is initialized.

That was fine so far as this was only required to make the output of the
control file correct and to prevent writes in that case.

With the upcoming l1tf command line parameter, this needs to be set up
before the L1TF mitigation selection and command line parsing happens.

commit 8e1b706b6e819bed215c0db16345568864660393 upstream

The L1TF mitigation will gain a commend line parameter which allows to set
a combination of hypervisor mitigation and SMT control.

Expose cpu_smt_disable() so the command line parser can tweak SMT settings.

cpu/hotplug: Online siblings when SMT control is turned on

commit 215af5499d9e2b55f111d2431ea20218115f29b3 upstream

Writing 'off' to /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control offlines all SMT
siblings. Writing 'on' merily enables the abilify to online them, but does
not online them automatically.

Make 'on' more useful by onlining all offline siblings.
