perf/x86/intel: Account interrupts for PEBS errors
It's possible to set up PEBS events to get only errors and not
any data, like on SNB-X (model 45) and IVB-EP (model 62)
via 2 perf commands running simultaneously:
taskset -c 1 ./perf record -c 4 -e branches:pp -j any -C 10
This leads to a soft lock up, because the error path of the
intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm() does not account event->hw.interrupt
for error PEBS interrupts, so in case you're getting ONLY
errors you don't have a way to stop the event when it's over
the max_samples_per_tick limit:
Add perf_event_account_interrupt() which does the interrupt
and frequency checks and call it from intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm()'s
error path.
We keep the pending_kill and pending_wakeup logic only in the
__perf_event_overflow() path, because they make sense only if
there's any data to deliver.

perf/core: Fix concurrent sys_perf_event_open() vs. 'move_group' race
Di Shen reported a race between two concurrent sys_perf_event_open()
calls where both try and move the same pre-existing software group
into a hardware context.
... where, while we wait for a ctx->mutex acquisition, the event->ctx
relation can have changed under us.
That very same commit failed to recognise sys_perf_event_context() as an
external access vector to the events and thereby didn't apply the
established locking rules correctly.
So while one sys_perf_event_open() call is stuck waiting on
mutex_lock_double(), the other (which owns said locks) moves the group
about. So by the time the former sys_perf_event_open() acquires the
locks, the context we've acquired is stale (and possibly dead).
Apply the established locking rules as per perf_event_ctx_lock_nested()
to the mutex_lock_double() for the 'move_group' case. This obviously means
we need to validate state after we acquire the locks.

perf/core: Fix sys_perf_event_open() vs. hotplug
There is problem with installing an event in a task that is 'stuck' on
an offline CPU.
Blocked tasks are not dis-assosciated from offlined CPUs, after all, a
blocked task doesn't run and doesn't require a CPU etc.. Only on
wakeup do we ammend the situation and place the task on a available
CPU.
If we hit such a task with perf_install_in_context() we'll loop until
either that task wakes up or the CPU comes back online, if the task
waking depends on the event being installed, we're stuck.
While looking into this issue, I also spotted another problem, if we
hit a task with perf_install_in_context() that is in the middle of
being migrated, that is we observe the old CPU before sending the IPI,
but run the IPI (on the old CPU) while the task is already running on
the new CPU, things also go sideways.
Rework things to rely on task_curr() -- outside of rq->lock -- which
is rather tricky. Imagine the following scenario where we're trying to
install the first event into our task 't':
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
(current == t)
t->perf_event_ctxp[] = ctx;
smp_mb();
cpu = task_cpu(t);
switch(t, n);
migrate(t, 2);
switch(p, t);
ctx = t->perf_event_ctxp[]; // must not be NULL
smp_function_call(cpu, ..);
generic_exec_single()
func();
spin_lock(ctx->lock);
if (task_curr(t)) // false
add_event_to_ctx();
spin_unlock(ctx->lock);
perf_event_context_sched_in();
spin_lock(ctx->lock);
// sees event
So its CPU0's store of t->perf_event_ctxp[] that must not go 'missing'.
Because if CPU2's load of that variable were to observe NULL, it would
not try to schedule the ctx and we'd have a task running without its
counter, which would be 'bad'.
As long as we observe !NULL, we'll acquire ctx->lock. If we acquire it
first and not see the event yet, then CPU0 must observe task_curr()
and retry. If the install happens first, then we must see the event on
sched-in and all is well.
I think we can translate the first part (until the 'must not be NULL')
of the scenario to a litmus test like:
Where:
x is perf_event_ctxp[],
y is our tasks's CPU, and
z is our task being placed on the rq of CPU2.
The P0 smp_mb() is the one added by this patch, ordering the store to
perf_event_ctxp[] from find_get_context() and the load of task_cpu()
in task_function_call().
The smp_store_release/smp_load_acquire model the RCpc locking of the
rq->lock and the smp_mb() of P2 is the context switch switching from
whatever CPU2 was running to our task 't'.

KVM: x86: fix emulation of "MOV SS, null selector"
This is CVE-2017-2583. On Intel this causes a failed vmentry because
SS's type is neither 3 nor 7 (even though the manual says this check is
only done for usable SS, and the dmesg splat says that SS is unusable!).
On AMD it's worse: svm.c is confused and sets CPL to 0 in the vmcb.
The fix fabricates a data segment descriptor when SS is set to a null
selector, so that CPL and SS.DPL are set correctly in the VMCS/vmcb.
Furthermore, only allow setting SS to a NULL selector if SS.RPL < 3;
this in turn ensures CPL < 3 because RPL must be equal to CPL.
Thanks to Andy Lutomirski and Willy Tarreau for help in analyzing
the bug and deciphering the manuals.
The syzkaller folks reported a NULL pointer dereference due to
ENABLE_CAP succeeding even without an irqchip. The Hyper-V
synthetic interrupt controller is activated, resulting in a
wrong request to rescan the ioapic and a NULL pointer dereference.
The syzkaller folks reported a NULL pointer dereference that due to
unregister an consumer which fails registration before. The syzkaller
creates two VMs w/ an equal eventfd occasionally. So the second VM
fails to register an irqbypass consumer. It will make irqfd as inactive
and queue an workqueue work to shutdown irqfd and unregister the irqbypass
consumer when eventfd is closed. However, the second consumer has been
initialized though it fails registration. So the token(same as the first
VM's) is taken to unregister the consumer through the workqueue, the
consumer of the first VM is found and unregistered, then NULL deref incurred
in the path of deleting consumer from the consumers list.
This patch fixes it by making irq_bypass_register/unregister_consumer()
looks for the consumer entry based on consumer pointer itself instead of
token matching.

x86/entry: Fix the end of the stack for newly forked tasks
When unwinding a task, the end of the stack is always at the same offset
right below the saved pt_regs, regardless of which syscall was used to
enter the kernel. That convention allows the unwinder to verify that a
stack is sane.
However, newly forked tasks don't always follow that convention, as
reported by the following unwinder warning seen by Dave Jones:
WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at ffffc90001443f30 in kworker/u8:8:30468 has bad value (null)
The problem is that ret_from_fork() doesn't create a stack frame before
calling other functions. Fix that by carefully using the frame pointer
macros.
In addition to conforming to the end of stack convention, this also
makes related stack traces more sensible by making it clear to the user
that ret_from_fork() was involved.

xfs: Timely free truncated dirty pages
Commit 99579ccec4e2 "xfs: skip dirty pages in ->releasepage()" started
to skip dirty pages in xfs_vm_releasepage() which also has the effect
that if a dirty page is truncated, it does not get freed by
block_invalidatepage() and is lingering in LRU list waiting for reclaim.
So a simple loop like:
while true; do
dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=1M count=100
rm file
done
will keep using more and more memory until we hit low watermarks and
start pagecache reclaim which will eventually reclaim also the truncate
pages. Keeping these truncated (and thus never usable) pages in memory
is just a waste of memory, is unnecessarily stressing page cache
reclaim, and reportedly also leads to anonymous mmap(2) returning ENOMEM
prematurely.
So instead of just skipping dirty pages in xfs_vm_releasepage(), return
to old behavior of skipping them only if they have delalloc or unwritten
buffers and fix the spurious warnings by warning only if the page is
clean.

nvme: apply DELAY_BEFORE_CHK_RDY quirk at probe time too
Commit 54adc01055b7 ("nvme/quirk: Add a delay before checking for adapter
readiness") introduced a quirk to adapters that cannot read the bit
NVME_CSTS_RDY right after register NVME_REG_CC is set; these adapters
need a delay or else the action of reading the bit NVME_CSTS_RDY could
somehow corrupt adapter's registers state and it never recovers.
When this quirk was added, we checked ctrl->tagset in order to avoid
quirking in probe time, supposing we would never require such delay
during probe. Well, it was too optimistic; we in fact need this quirk
at probe time in some cases, like after a kexec.
In some experiments, after abnormal shutdown of machine (aka power cord
unplug), we booted into our bootloader in Power, which is a Linux kernel,
and kexec'ed into another distro. If this kexec is too quick, we end up
reaching the probe of NVMe adapter in that distro when adapter is in
bad state (not fully initialized on our bootloader). What happens next
is that nvme_wait_ready() is unable to complete, except if the quirk is
enabled.
So, this patch removes the original ctrl->tagset verification in order
to enable the quirk even on probe time.

xhci: fix deadlock at host remove by running watchdog correctly
If a URB is killed while the host is removed we can end up in a situation
where the hub thread takes the roothub device lock, and waits for
the URB to be given back by xhci-hcd, blocking the host remove code.
xhci-hcd tries to stop the endpoint and give back the urb, but can't
as the host is removed from PCI bus at the same time, preventing the normal
way of giving back urb.
Instead we need to rely on the stop command timeout function to give back
the urb. This xhci_stop_endpoint_command_watchdog() timeout function
used a XHCI_STATE_DYING flag to indicate if the timeout function is already
running, but later this flag has been taking into use in other places to
mark that xhci is dying.
Remove checks for XHCI_STATE_DYING in xhci_urb_dequeue. We are still
checking that reading from pci state does not return 0xffffffff or that
host is not halted before trying to stop the endpoint.
This whole area of stopping endpoints, giving back URBs, and the wathdog
timeout need rework, this fix focuses on solving a specific deadlock
issue that we can then send to stable before any major rework.

nohz: Fix collision between tick and other hrtimers
When the tick is stopped and an interrupt occurs afterward, we check on
that interrupt exit if the next tick needs to be rescheduled. If it
doesn't need any update, we don't want to do anything.
In order to check if the tick needs an update, we compare it against the
clockevent device deadline. Now that's a problem because the clockevent
device is at a lower level than the tick itself if it is implemented
on top of hrtimer.
Every hrtimer share this clockevent device. So comparing the next tick
deadline against the clockevent device deadline is wrong because the
device may be programmed for another hrtimer whose deadline collides
with the tick. As a result we may end up not reprogramming the tick
accidentally.
In a worst case scenario under full dynticks mode, the tick stops firing
as it is supposed to every 1hz, leaving /proc/stat stalled:
Task in a full dynticks CPU
----------------------------
* hrtimer A is queued 2 seconds ahead
* the tick is stopped, scheduled 1 second ahead
* tick fires 1 second later
* on tick exit, nohz schedules the tick 1 second ahead but sees
the clockevent device is already programmed to that deadline,
fooled by hrtimer A, the tick isn't rescheduled.
* hrtimer A is cancelled before its deadline
* tick never fires again until an interrupt happens...
In order to fix this, store the next tick deadline to the tick_sched
local structure and reuse that value later to check whether we need to
reprogram the clock after an interrupt.
On the other hand, ts->sleep_length still wants to know about the next
clock event and not just the tick, so we want to improve the related
comment to avoid confusion.

Clearing FIFOs in RS485 emulation mode causes subsequent transmits to break
When in RS485 emulation mode, __do_stop_tx_rs485() calls
serial8250_clear_fifos(). This not only clears the FIFOs, but also sets
all bits in their control register (UART_FCR) to 0.
One of the effects of this is the disabling of the FIFOs, which turns
them into single-byte holding registers. The rest of the driver doesn't
know this, which results in the lions share of characters passed into a
write call to be dropped.
(I can supply logic analyzer screenshots if necessary)
This fix replaces the serial8250_clear_fifos() call to
serial8250_clear_and_reinit_fifos() - this prevents the "dropped
characters" issue from manifesting again while retaining the requirement
of clearing the RX FIFO after transmission if the SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX
flag is disabled.
