Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"One of the largest releases for KVM... Hardly any generic
changes, but lots of architecture-specific updates.
ARM:
- VHE support so that we can run the kernel at EL2 on ARMv8.1 systems
- PMU support for guests
- 32bit world switch rewritten in C
- various optimizations to the vgic save/restore code.
PPC:
- enabled KVM-VFIO integration ("VFIO device")
- optimizations to speed up IPIs between vcpus
- in-kernel handling of IOMMU hypercalls
- support for dynamic DMA windows (DDW).
s390:
- provide the floating point registers via sync regs;
- separated instruction vs. data accesses
- dirty log improvements for huge guests
- bugfixes and documentation improvements.
x86:
- Hyper-V VMBus hypercall userspace exit
- alternative implementation of lowest-priority interrupts using
vector hashing (for better VT-d posted interrupt support)
- fixed guest debugging with nested virtualizations
- improved interrupt tracking in the in-kernel IOAPIC
- generic infrastructure for tracking writes to guest
memory - currently its only use is to speedup the legacy shadow
paging (pre-EPT) case, but in the future it will be used for
virtual GPUs as well
- much cleanup (LAPIC, kvmclock, MMU, PIT), including ubsan fixes"

Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:
- Initial implementation of the state machine
- Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
not on some random processor
- Replaces busy loop waiting with completions
- Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"
More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
"What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?
- Asymmetry
The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
teardown. This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.
- Largely undocumented dependencies
While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
express dependencies without any documentation why.
- Control processor driven
Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
processor. While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
processor. Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring the rest up
- All or nothing approach
There is no way to do partial bringups. That's something which is
really desired because we waste e.g. at boot substantial amount of
time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life. That's stupid
as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.
- Minimal debuggability
Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
the correctness. So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.
- Notifier [un]registering is tedious
To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
every callsite. There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
do it itself. That also includes error rollback.
What's the new design?
The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
defined set of states. Each state is symmetric in the end, except
for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
stopped and reversed at almost all states.
So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring itself up
The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
other mechanism.
The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
up and brings itself down. Cleanups which need to be done after
the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.
There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
cpu is available. Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.
The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
general workloads can be scheduled on it. The reverse happens on
teardown. First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
off completely.
This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
core level. This includes the following:
- Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
ordering and prioritization can be expressed.
- Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks
This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
the state machine array.
For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
explicit hotplug state.
If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
previous state.
- Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.
This is only partially functional today. Full functionality and
therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.
- Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
processor:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
wait for boot
bring itself up
Signal completion to control cpu
In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme. The balance
is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.
This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
different approach. Instead of mechanically converting everything
over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.
I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
completely buggered anyway. So there is no point to do a
mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
testable behaviour"

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle are:
- Make schedstats a runtime tunable (disabled by default) and
optimize it via static keys.
As most distributions enable CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS=y due to its
instrumentation value, this is a nice performance enhancement.
(Mel Gorman)
- Implement 'simple waitqueues' (swait): these are just pure
waitqueues without any of the more complex features of full-blown
waitqueues (callbacks, wake flags, wake keys, etc.). Simple
waitqueues have less memory overhead and are faster.
Use simple waitqueues in the RCU code (in 4 different places) and
for handling KVM vCPU wakeups.

There are lots of perf tooling updates as well. A few highlights:
perf report/top:
- Hierarchy histogram mode for 'perf top' and 'perf report',
showing multiple levels, one per --sort entry: (Namhyung Kim)
On a mostly idle system:
# perf top --hierarchy -s comm,dso
Then expand some levels and use 'P' to take a snapshot:
# cat perf.hist.0
- 92.32% perf
58.20% perf
22.29% libc-2.22.so
5.97% [kernel]
4.18% libelf-0.165.so
1.69% [unknown]
- 4.71% qemu-system-x86
3.10% [kernel]
1.60% qemu-system-x86_64 (deleted)
+ 2.97% swapper
#
- Add 'L' hotkey to dynamicly set the percent threshold for
histogram entries and callchains, i.e. dynamicly do what the
--percent-limit command line option to 'top' and 'report' does.
(Namhyung Kim)
perf mem:
- Allow specifying events via -e in 'perf mem record', also listing
what events can be specified via 'perf mem record -e list' (Jiri
Olsa)
perf record:
- Add 'perf record' --all-user/--all-kernel options, so that one
can tell that all the events in the command line should be
restricted to the user or kernel levels (Jiri Olsa), i.e.:
perf record -e cycles:u,instructions:u
is equivalent to:
perf record --all-user -e cycles,instructions
- Make 'perf record' collect CPU cache info in the perf.data file header:
$ perf record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
$ perf report --header-only -I | tail -10 | head -8
# CPU cache info:
# L1 Data 32K [0-1]
# L1 Instruction 32K [0-1]
# L1 Data 32K [2-3]
# L1 Instruction 32K [2-3]
# L2 Unified 256K [0-1]
# L2 Unified 256K [2-3]
# L3 Unified 4096K [0-3]
Will be used in 'perf c2c' and eventually in 'perf diff' to
allow, for instance running the same workload in multiple
machines and then when using 'diff' show the hardware difference.
(Jiri Olsa)
- Improved support for Java, using the JVMTI agent library to do
jitdumps that then will be inserted in synthesized
PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events via 'perf inject' pointed to synthesized
ELF files stored in ~/.debug and keyed with build-ids, to allow
symbol resolution and even annotation with source line info, see
the changeset comments to see how to use it (Stephane Eranian)
perf script/trace:
- Decode data_src values (e.g. perf.data files generated by 'perf
mem record') in 'perf script': (Jiri Olsa)
# perf script
perf 693 [1] 4.088652: 1 cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: ffff88007d0b0f40 68100142 L1 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No <SNIP>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Improve support to 'data_src', 'weight' and 'addr' fields in
'perf script' (Jiri Olsa)
- Handle empty print fmts in 'perf script -s' i.e. when running
python or perl scripts (Taeung Song)
perf stat:
- 'perf stat' now shows shadow metrics (insn per cycle, etc) in
interval mode too. E.g:
# perf stat -I 1000 -e instructions,cycles sleep 1
# time counts unit events
1.000215928 519,620 instructions # 0.69 insn per cycle
1.000215928 752,003 cycles
<SNIP>
- Port 'perf kvm stat' to PowerPC (Hemant Kumar)
- Implement CSV metrics output in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)
perf BPF support:
- Support converting data from bpf events in 'perf data' (Wang Nan)
- Print bpf-output events in 'perf script': (Wang Nan).
# perf record -e bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ -e ./test_bpf_output_3.c/map:channel.event=evt/ usleep 1000
# perf script
usleep 4882 21384.532523: evt: ffffffff810e97d1 sys_nanosleep ([kernel.kallsyms])
BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20 Raise a

Pull read-only kernel memory updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds two (security related) enhancements to the kernel's
handling of read-only kernel memory:
- extend read-only kernel memory to a new class of formerly writable
kernel data: 'post-init read-only memory' via the __ro_after_init
attribute, and mark the ARM and x86 vDSO as such read-only memory.
This kind of attribute can be used for data that requires a once
per bootup initialization sequence, but is otherwise never modified
after that point.
This feature was based on the work by PaX Team and Brad Spengler.
(by Kees Cook, the ARM vDSO bits by David Brown.)
- make CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA always enabled on x86 and remove the
Kconfig option. This simplifies the kernel and also signals that
read-only memory is the default model and a first-class citizen.

When calculate_cpu_foreign_map() recalculates the cpu_foreign_map
cpumask it uses the local variable temp_foreign_map without initialising
it to zero. Since the calculation only ever sets bits in this cpumask
any existing bits at that memory location will remain set and find their
way into cpu_foreign_map too. This could potentially lead to cache
operations suboptimally doing smp calls to multiple VPEs in the same
core, even though the VPEs share primary caches.
Therefore initialise temp_foreign_map using cpumask_clear() before use.

The MIPS_GIC_IPI should only be selected when MIPS_GIC is also
selected, otherwise it results in a compile error. smp-gic.c uses some
functions from include/linux/irqchip/mips-gic.h like
plat_ipi_call_int_xlate() which are only added to the header file when
MIPS_GIC is set. The Lantiq SoC does not use the GIC, but supports SMP.
The calls top the functions from smp-gic.c are already protected by
some #ifdefs

page tables
Some machines have EFI regions in page zero (physical address
0x00000000) and historically that region has been added to the e820
map via trim_bios_range(), and ultimately mapped into the kernel page
tables. It was not mapped via efi_map_regions() as one would expect.
Alexis reports that with the new separate EFI page tables some boot
services regions, such as page zero, are not mapped. This triggers an
oops during the SetVirtualAddressMap() runtime call.
For the EFI boot services quirk on x86 we need to memblock_reserve()
boot services regions until after SetVirtualAddressMap(). Doing that
while respecting the ownership of regions that may have already been
reserved by the kernel was the motivation behind this commit:
7d68dc3f1003 ("x86, efi: Do not reserve boot services regions within reserved areas")
That patch was merged at a time when the EFI runtime virtual mappings
were inserted into the kernel page tables as described above, and the
trick of setting ->numpages (and hence the region size) to zero to
track regions that should not be freed in efi_free_boot_services()
meant that we never mapped those regions in efi_map_regions(). Instead
we were relying solely on the existing kernel mappings.
Now that we have separate page tables we need to make sure the EFI
boot services regions are mapped correctly, even if someone else has
already called memblock_reserve(). Instead of stashing a tag in
->numpages, set the EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME bit of ->attribute. Since it
generally makes no sense to mark a boot services region as required at
runtime, it's pretty much guaranteed the firmware will not have
already set this bit.
For the record, the specific circumstances under which Alexis
triggered this bug was that an EFI runtime driver on his machine was
responding to the EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE event during
SetVirtualAddressMap().
The event handler for this driver looks like this,
sub rsp,0x28
lea rdx,[rip+0x2445] # 0xaa948720

mov BYTE PTR [r11+0x1],0x1
add rsp,0x28
ret
Which is pretty typical code for an EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE
handler. The "mov r11, QWORD PTR [rip+0x2424]" was the faulting
instruction because ConvertPointer() was being called to convert the
address 0x0000000000000000, which when converted is left unchanged and
remains 0x0000000000000000.
The output of the oops trace gave the impression of a standard NULL
pointer dereference bug, but because we're accessing physical
addresses during ConvertPointer(), it wasn't. EFI boot services code
is stored at that address on Alexis' machine.

i486 derived cores like Intel Quark support only the very old,
legacy x87 FPU (FSAVE/FRSTOR, CPUID bit FXSR is not set), and
our FPU code wasn't handling the saving and restoring there
properly in the 'eagerfpu' case.
So after we made eagerfpu the default for all CPU types:
58122bf1d856 x86/fpu: Default eagerfpu=on on all CPUs
these old FPU designs broke. First, Andy Shevchenko reported a splat:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 823 at arch/x86/include/asm/fpu/internal.h:163 fpu__clear+0x8c/0x160
which was us trying to execute FXRSTOR on those machines even though
they don't support it.
After taking care of that, Bryan O'Donoghue reported that a simple FPU
test still failed because we weren't initializing the FPU state properly
on those machines.
Take care of all that.

ARM: dts: dra7: do not gate cpsw clock due to errata i877
ARM: OMAP2+: hwmod: Introduce ti,no-idle dt property
|
|
When the Crypto SRAM mappings were added to the Device Tree files
describing the Armada XP boards in commit c466d997bb16 ("ARM: mvebu:
define crypto SRAM ranges for all armada-xp boards"), the fact that
those mappings were overlaping with the PCIe memory aperture was
overlooked. Due to this, we currently have for all Armada XP platforms
a situation that looks like this:
Memory mapping on Armada XP boards with internal registers at
0xf1000000:
- 0x00000000 -> 0xf0000000 3.75G RAM
- 0xf0000000 -> 0xf1000000 16M NOR flashes (AXP GP / AXP DB)
- 0xf1000000 -> 0xf1100000 1M internal registers
- 0xf8000000 -> 0xffe0000 126M PCIe memory aperture
- 0xf8100000 -> 0xf8110000 64KB Crypto SRAM #0 => OVERLAPS WITH PCIE !
- 0xf8110000 -> 0xf8120000 64KB Crypto SRAM #1 => OVERLAPS WITH PCIE !
- 0xffe00000 -> 0xfff00000 1M PCIe I/O aperture
- 0xfff0000 -> 0xffffffff 1M BootROM
The overlap means that when PCIe devices are added, depending on their
memory window needs, they might or might not be mapped into the
physical address space. Indeed, they will not be mapped if the area
allocated in the PCIe memory aperture by the PCI core overlaps with
one of the Crypto SRAM. Typically, a Intel IGB PCIe NIC that needs 8MB
of PCIe memory will see its PCIe memory window allocated from
0xf80000000 for 8MB, which overlaps with the Crypto SRAM windows. Due
to this, the PCIe window is not created, and any attempt to access the
PCIe window makes the kernel explode:
[ 3.302213] igb: Copyright (c) 2007-2014 Intel Corporation.
[ 3.307841] pci 0000:00:09.0: enabling device (0140 -> 0143)
[ 3.313539] mvebu_mbus: cannot add window '4:f8', conflicts with another window
[ 3.320870] mvebu-pcie soc:pcie-controller: Could not create MBus window at [mem 0xf8000000-0xf87fffff]: -22
[ 3.330811] Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1008) at 0xf08c0018
This problem does not occur on Armada 370 boards, because we use the
following memory mapping (for boards that have internal registers at
0xf1000000):
- 0x00000000 -> 0xf0000000 3.75G RAM
- 0xf0000000 -> 0xf1000000 16M NOR flashes (AXP GP / AXP DB)
- 0xf1000000 -> 0xf1100000 1M internal registers
- 0xf1100000 -> 0xf1110000 64KB Crypto SRAM #0 => OK !
- 0xf8000000 -> 0xffe0000 126M PCIe memory
- 0xffe00000 -> 0xfff00000 1M PCIe I/O
- 0xfff0000 -> 0xffffffff 1M BootROM
Obviously, the solution is to align the location of the Crypto SRAM
mappings of Armada XP to be similar with the ones on Armada 370, i.e
have them between the "internal registers" area and the beginning of
the PCIe aperture.
However, we have a special case with the OpenBlocks AX3-4 platform,
which has a 128 MB NOR flash. Currently, this NOR flash is mapped from
0xf0000000 to 0xf8000000. This is possible because on OpenBlocks
AX3-4, the internal registers are not at 0xf1000000. And this explains
why the Crypto SRAM mappings were not configured at the same place on
Armada XP.
Hence, the solution is two-fold:
(1) Move the NOR flash mapping on Armada XP OpenBlocks AX3-4 from
0xe8000000 to 0xf0000000. This frees the 0xf0000000 ->
0xf80000000 space.
(2) Move the Crypto SRAM mappings on Armada XP to be similar to
Armada 370 (except of course that Armada XP has two Crypto SRAM
and not one).
After this patch, the memory mapping on Armada XP boards with
registers at 0xf1 is:
- 0x00000000 -> 0xf0000000 3.75G RAM
- 0xf0000000 -> 0xf1000000 16M NOR flashes (AXP GP / AXP DB)
- 0xf1000000 -> 0xf1100000 1M internal registers
- 0xf1100000 -> 0xf1110000 64KB Crypto SRAM #0
- 0xf1110000 -> 0xf1120000 64KB Crypto SRAM #1
- 0xf8000000 -> 0xffe0000 126M PCIe memory
- 0xffe00000 -> 0xfff00000 1M PCIe I/O
- 0xfff0000 -> 0xffffffff 1M BootROM
And the memory mapping for the special case of the OpenBlocks AX3-4
(internal registers at 0xd0000000, NOR of 128 MB):
- 0x00000000 -> 0xc0000000 3G RAM
- 0xd0000000 -> 0xd1000000 1M internal registers
- 0xe800000 -> 0xf0000000 128M NOR flash
- 0xf1100000 -> 0xf1110000 64KB Crypto SRAM #0
- 0xf1110000 -> 0xf1120000 64KB Crypto SRAM #1
- 0xf8000000 -> 0xffe0000 126M PCIe memory
- 0xffe00000 -> 0xfff00000 1M PCIe I/O
- 0xfff0000 -> 0xffffffff 1M BootROM

Currently on i386 and on X86_64 when emulating X86_32 in legacy mode, only
the stack and the executable are randomized but not other mmapped files
(libraries, vDSO, etc.). This patch enables randomization for the
libraries, vDSO and mmap requests on i386 and in X86_32 in legacy mode.
By default on i386 there are 8 bits for the randomization of the libraries,
vDSO and mmaps which only uses 1MB of VA.
This patch preserves the original randomness, using 1MB of VA out of 3GB or
4GB. We think that 1MB out of 3GB is not a big cost for having the ASLR.
The first obvious security benefit is that all objects are randomized (not
only the stack and the executable) in legacy mode which highly increases
the ASLR effectiveness, otherwise the attackers may use these
non-randomized areas. But also sensitive setuid/setgid applications are
more secure because currently, attackers can disable the randomization of
these applications by setting the ulimit stack to "unlimited". This is a
very old and widely known trick to disable the ASLR in i386 which has been
allowed for too long.
Another trick used to disable the ASLR was to set the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE
personality flag, but fortunately this doesn't work on setuid/setgid
applications because there is security checks which clear Security-relevant
flags.
This patch always randomizes the mmap_legacy_base address, removing the
possibility to disable the ASLR by setting the stack to "unlimited".

Commit abd4f7505baf ("x86: i386-show-unhandled-signals-v3") did turn on
the showing-unhandled-signal behaviour for i386 for some exception handlers,
but for no reason do_trap() is left out (my naive guess is because turning it on
for do_trap() would be too noisy since do_trap() is shared by several exceptions).
And since the same commit make "show_unhandled_signals" a debug tunable(in
/proc/sys/debug/exception-trace), and x86 by default turning it on.
So it would be strange for i386 users who turing it on manually and expect
seeing the unhandled signal output in log, but nothing.
This patch turns it on for i386 in do_trap() as well.

We do use this_cpu_ptr(&cpu_tss) as a cacheline-aligned, seldomly
accessed per-cpu var as the MONITORX target in delay_mwaitx(). However,
when called in preemptible context, this_cpu_ptr -> smp_processor_id() ->
debug_smp_processor_id() fires:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: udevd/312
caller is delay_mwaitx+0x40/0xa0
But we don't care about that check - we only need cpu_tss as a MONITORX
target and it doesn't really matter which CPU's var we're touching as
we're going idle anyway. Fix that.

KVM has special logic to handle pages with pte.u=1 and pte.w=0 when
CR0.WP=1. These pages' SPTEs flip continuously between two states:
U=1/W=0 (user and supervisor reads allowed, supervisor writes not allowed)
and U=0/W=1 (supervisor reads and writes allowed, user writes not allowed).
When SMEP is in effect, however, U=0 will enable kernel execution of
this page. To avoid this, KVM also sets NX=1 in the shadow PTE together
with U=0, making the two states U=1/W=0/NX=gpte.NX and U=0/W=1/NX=1.
When guest EFER has the NX bit cleared, the reserved bit check thinks
that the latter state is invalid; teach it that the smep_andnot_wp case
will also use the NX bit of SPTEs.

Yes, all of these are needed. :) This is admittedly a bit odd, but
kvm-unit-tests access.flat tests this if you run it with "-cpu host"
and of course ept=0.
KVM runs the guest with CR0.WP=1, so it must handle supervisor writes
specially when pte.u=1/pte.w=0/CR0.WP=0. Such writes cause a fault
when U=1 and W=0 in the SPTE, but they must succeed because CR0.WP=0.
When KVM gets the fault, it sets U=0 and W=1 in the shadow PTE and
restarts execution. This will still cause a user write to fault, while
supervisor writes will succeed. User reads will fault spuriously now,
and KVM will then flip U and W again in the SPTE (U=1, W=0). User reads
will be enabled and supervisor writes disabled, going back to the
originary situation where supervisor writes fault spuriously.
When SMEP is in effect, however, U=0 will enable kernel execution of
this page. To avoid this, KVM also sets NX=1 in the shadow PTE together
with U=0. If the guest has not enabled NX, the result is a continuous
stream of page faults due to the NX bit being reserved.
The fix is to force EFER.NX=1 even if the CPU is taking care of the EFER
switch. (All machines with SMEP have the CPU_LOAD_IA32_EFER vm-entry
control, so they do not use user-return notifiers for EFER---if they did,
EFER.NX would be forced to the same value as the host).
There is another bug in the reserved bit check, which I've split to a
separate patch for easier application to stable kernels.

Now that slow-path syscalls always enter C before enabling
interrupts, it's straightforward to call enter_from_user_mode() before
enabling interrupts rather than doing it as part of entry tracing.
With this change, we should finally be able to retire exception_enter().
This will also enable optimizations based on knowing that we never
change context tracking state with interrupts on.

We want all of the syscall entries to run with interrupts off so that
we can efficiently run context tracking before enabling interrupts.
This will regress int $0x80 performance on 32-bit kernels by a
couple of cycles. This shouldn't matter much -- int $0x80 is not a
fast path.
This effectively reverts:
657c1eea0019 ("x86/entry/32: Fix entry_INT80_32() to expect interrupts to be on")
... and fixes the same issue differently.

Leonid Shatz noticed that the SDM interpretation of the following
recent commit:
394db20ca240741 ("x86/fpu: Disable AVX when eagerfpu is off")
... is incorrect and that the original behavior of the FPU code was correct.
Because AVX is not stated in CR0 TS bit description, it was mistakenly
believed to be not supported for lazy context switch. This turns out
to be false:
Intel Software Developer's Manual Vol. 3A, Sec. 2.5 Control Registers:
'TS Task Switched bit (bit 3 of CR0) -- Allows the saving of the x87 FPU/
MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4 context on a task switch to be delayed until
an x87 FPU/MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4 instruction is actually executed
by the new task.'
Intel Software Developer's Manual Vol. 2A, Sec. 2.4 Instruction Exception
Specification:
'AVX instructions refer to exceptions by classes that include #NM
"Device Not Available" exception for lazy context switch.'
So revert the commit.

Ingo suggested that the comments should explain when the various
entries are used. This adds these explanations and improves other
parts of the comments.

Now that SYSENTER with TF set puts X86_EFLAGS_TF directly into
regs->flags, we don't need a TIF_SINGLESTEP fixup in the syscall
entry code. Remove it.

The first instruction of the SYSENTER entry runs on its own tiny
stack. That stack can be used if a #DB or NMI is delivered before
the SYSENTER prologue switches to a real stack.
We have code in place to prevent us from overflowing the tiny stack.
For added paranoia, add a canary to the stack and check it in
do_debug() -- that way, if something goes wrong with the #DB logic,
we'll eventually notice.

Right after SYSENTER, we can get a #DB or NMI. On x86_32, there's no IST,
so the exception handler is invoked on the temporary SYSENTER stack.
Because the SYSENTER stack is very small, we have a fixup to switch
off the stack quickly when this happens. The old fixup had several issues:
1. It checked the interrupt frame's CS and EIP. This wasn't
obviously correct on Xen or if vm86 mode was in use [1].
2. In the NMI handler, it did some frightening digging into the
stack frame. I'm not convinced this digging was correct.
3. The fixup didn't switch stacks and then switch back. Instead, it
synthesized a brand new stack frame that would redirect the IRET
back to the SYSENTER code. That frame was highly questionable.
For one thing, if NMI nested inside #DB, we would effectively
abort the #DB prologue, which was probably safe but was
frightening. For another, the code used PUSHFL to write the
FLAGS portion of the frame, which was simply bogus -- by the time
PUSHFL was called, at least TF, NT, VM, and all of the arithmetic
flags were clobbered.
Simplify this considerably. Instead of looking at the saved frame
to see where we came from, check the hardware ESP register against
the SYSENTER stack directly. Malicious user code cannot spoof the
kernel ESP register, and by moving the check after SAVE_ALL, we can
use normal PER_CPU accesses to find all the relevant addresses.
With this patch applied, the improved syscall_nt_32 test finally
passes on 32-bit kernels.
[1] It isn't obviously correct, but it is nonetheless safe from vm86
shenanigans as far as I can tell. A user can't point EIP at
entry_SYSENTER_32 while in vm86 mode because entry_SYSENTER_32,
like all kernel addresses, is greater than 0xffff and would thus
violate the CS segment limit.
