2024-11-25x86/Documentation: Update algo in init_size description of boot protocolAndy Shevchenko
The init_size description of boot protocol has an example of the runtime start address for the compressed bzImage. For non-relocatable kernel it relies on the pref_address value (if not 0), but for relocatable case only pays respect to the load_addres and kernel_alignment, and it is inaccurate for the latter. Boot loader must consider the pref_address as the Linux kernel relocates to it before being decompressed as nicely described in this commit message a year ago: 43b1d3e68ee7 ("kexec: Allocate kernel above bzImage's pref_address") Due to this documentation inaccuracy some of the bootloaders (*) made a mistake in the calculations and if kernel image is big enough, this may lead to unbootable configurations. *) In particular, kexec-tools missed that and resently got a couple of changes which will be part of v2.0.30 release. For the record, commit 43b1d3e68ee7 only fixed the kernel kexec implementation and also missed to update the init_size description. While at it, make an example C-like looking as it's done elsewhere in the document and fix indentation as presribed by the reStructuredText specifications, so the syntax highliting will work properly.

2024-04-24x86/resctrl: Add tracepoint for llc_occupancy trackingHaifeng Xu
In our production environment, after removing monitor groups, those unused RMIDs get stuck in the limbo list forever because their llc_occupancy is always larger than the threshold. But the unused RMIDs can be successfully freed by turning up the threshold. In order to know how much the threshold should be, perf can be used to acquire the llc_occupancy of RMIDs in each rdt domain. Instead of using perf tool to track llc_occupancy and filter the log manually, it is more convenient for users to use tracepoint to do this work. So add a new tracepoint that shows the llc_occupancy of busy RMIDs when scanning the limbo list.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 FRED support from Thomas Gleixner: "Support for x86 Fast Return and Event Delivery (FRED). FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most of the technical nightmares which IDT exposes: 1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved in nested exception scenarios. 2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested exceptions as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on each entry which requires a massive effort in the low level entry of #NMI code to handle this. 3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user which makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs to be especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI. 4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which is a problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a stack trace. 5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment 6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion on large systems. 7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources FRED addresses these shortcomings by: 1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save exception cause registers. This ensures that the meta information for each exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra complexity of preserving it in software. 2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested exception uses the currently interrupt stack. 3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS BASE handling which is required to establish kernel context for per CPU variable access is done in hardware. 4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the return from NMI. 5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP 6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design because it uses a central entry points for kernel and user space and the CPUstores the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt, syscall) on the entry stack along with the vector number. The entry code has to demultiplex this information, but this removes the vector space restriction. The first hardware implementations will still have the current restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires further changes to the local APIC. 7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the required local APIC changes are in place. The series implements the initial FRED support by: - Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism. - Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED requires to store context and meta information - Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have information pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB. - Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE - Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to demultiplex the events - Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc. The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs the existing IDT implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths like context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the extended stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and therefore have no impact on IDT based systems. It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED simulation and as of now there are no outstanding problems" * tag 'x86-fred-2024-03-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (38 commits) x86/fred: Fix init_task thread stack pointer initialization MAINTAINERS: Add a maintainer entry for FRED x86/fred: Fix a build warning with allmodconfig due to 'inline' failing to inline properly x86/fred: Invoke FRED initialization code to enable FRED x86/fred: Add FRED initialization functions x86/syscall: Split IDT syscall setup code into idt_syscall_init() KVM: VMX: Call fred_entry_from_kvm() for IRQ/NMI handling x86/entry: Add fred_entry_from_kvm() for VMX to handle IRQ/NMI x86/entry/calling: Allow PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS being used beyond actual entry code x86/fred: Fixup fault on ERETU by jumping to fred_entrypoint_user x86/fred: Let ret_from_fork_asm() jmp to asm_fred_exit_user when FRED is enabled x86/traps: Add sysvec_install() to install a system interrupt handler x86/fred: FRED entry/exit and dispatch code x86/fred: Add a machine check entry stub for FRED x86/fred: Add a NMI entry stub for FRED x86/fred: Add a debug fault entry stub for FRED x86/idtentry: Incorporate definitions/declarations of the FRED entries x86/fred: Make exc_page_fault() work for FRED x86/fred: Allow single-step trap and NMI when starting a new task x86/fred: No ESPFIX needed when FRED is enabled ...

2024-02-22kexec: Allocate kernel above bzImage's pref_addressChris Koch
A relocatable kernel will relocate itself to pref_address if it is loaded below pref_address. This means a booted kernel may be relocating itself to an area with reserved memory on modern systems, potentially clobbering arbitrary data that may be important to the system. This is often the case, as the default value of PHYSICAL_START is 0x1000000 and kernels are typically loaded at 0x100000 or above by bootloaders like iPXE or kexec. GRUB behaves like the approach implemented here. Also fixes the documentation around pref_address and PHYSICAL_START to be accurate.

The TDX host interactions with kexec also needs to be ironed out before this is ready for prime time, so this code is currently Kconfig'd off when kexec is on. The majority of the code here is the kernel telling the TDX module which memory to protect and handing some additional memory over to it to use to store TDX module metadata. That sounds pretty simple, but the TDX architecture is rather flexible and it takes quite a bit of back-and-forth to say, "just protect all memory, please." There is also some code tacked on near the end of the series to handle a hardware erratum.

2024-01-11docs: kernel_feat.py: fix potential command injectionVegard Nossum
The kernel-feat directive passes its argument straight to the shell. This is unfortunate and unnecessary. Let's always use paths relative to $srctree/Documentation/ and use subprocess.check_call() instead of subprocess.Popen(shell=True). This also makes the code shorter. This is analogous to commit 3231dd586277 ("docs: kernel_abi.py: fix command injection") where we did exactly the same thing for kernel_abi.py, somehow I completely missed this one.

2023-12-12Documentation/x86: Add documentation for TDX host supportKai Huang
Add documentation for TDX host kernel support. There is already one file Documentation/x86/tdx.rst containing documentation for TDX guest internals. Also reuse it for TDX host kernel support. Introduce a new level menu "TDX Guest Support" and move existing materials under it, and add a new menu for TDX host kernel support.

2023-12-12x86/docs: Remove reference to syscall trampoline in PTINikolay Borisov
Commit bf904d2762ee ("x86/pti/64: Remove the SYSCALL64 entry trampoline") removed the syscall trampoline and instead opted to enable using the default SYSCALL64 entry point by mapping the percpu TSS. Unfortunately, the PTI documentation wasn't updated when the respective changes were made, so bring the doc up to speed.

2023-11-17docs: automarkup: linkify git revsVegard Nossum
There aren't a ton of references to commits in the documentation, but they do exist, and we can use automarkup to linkify them to make them easier to follow. Use something like this to find references to commits: git grep -P 'commit.*[0-9a-f]{8,}' Documentation/ Also fix a few of these to standardize on the exact format that is already used in changelogs.
