Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "A set of small fixes for 4.15: - Fix vmapped stack synchronization on systems with 4-level paging and a large amount of memory caused by a missing 5-level folding which made the pgd synchronization logic to fail and causing double faults. - Add a missing sanity check in the vmalloc_fault() logic on 5-level paging systems. - Bring back protection against accessing a freed initrd in the microcode loader which was lost by a wrong merge conflict resolution. - Extend the Broadwell micro code loading sanity check. - Add a missing ENDPROC annotation in ftrace assembly code which makes ORC unhappy. - Prevent loading the AMD power module on !AMD platforms. The load itself is uncritical, but an unload attempt results in a kernel crash. - Update Peter Anvins role in the MAINTAINERS file" * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/ftrace: Add one more ENDPROC annotation x86: Mark hpa as a "Designated Reviewer" for the time being x86/mm/64: Tighten up vmalloc_fault() sanity checks on 5-level kernels x86/mm/64: Fix vmapped stack syncing on very-large-memory 4-level systems x86/microcode: Fix again accessing initrd after having been freed x86/microcode/intel: Extend BDW late-loading further with LLC size check perf/x86/amd/power: Do not load AMD power module on !AMD platforms

x86/ftrace: Add one more ENDPROC annotation

2018-01-28T08:19:12Z

When ORC support was added for the ftrace_64.S code, an ENDPROC for function_hook() was missed. This results in the following warning: arch/x86/kernel/ftrace_64.o: warning: objtool: .entry.text+0x0: unreachable instruction Fixes: e2ac83d74a4d ("x86/ftrace: Fix ORC unwinding from ftrace handlers") Reported-by: Steven Rostedt Reported-by: Borislav Petkov Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Cc: Linus Torvalds Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180128022150.dqierscqmt3uwwsr@treble

hrtimer: Reset hrtimer cpu base proper on CPU hotplug

2018-01-27T14:12:22Z

The hrtimer interrupt code contains a hang detection and mitigation mechanism, which prevents that a long delayed hrtimer interrupt causes a continous retriggering of interrupts which prevent the system from making progress. If a hang is detected then the timer hardware is programmed with a certain delay into the future and a flag is set in the hrtimer cpu base which prevents newly enqueued timers from reprogramming the timer hardware prior to the chosen delay. The subsequent hrtimer interrupt after the delay clears the flag and resumes normal operation. If such a hang happens in the last hrtimer interrupt before a CPU is unplugged then the hang_detected flag is set and stays that way when the CPU is plugged in again. At that point the timer hardware is not armed and it cannot be armed because the hang_detected flag is still active, so nothing clears that flag. As a consequence the CPU does not receive hrtimer interrupts and no timers expire on that CPU which results in RCU stalls and other malfunctions. Clear the flag along with some other less critical members of the hrtimer cpu base to ensure starting from a clean state when a CPU is plugged in. Thanks to Paul, Sebastian and Anna-Maria for their help to get down to the root cause of that hard to reproduce heisenbug. Once understood it's trivial and certainly justifies a brown paperbag.

x86: Mark hpa as a "Designated Reviewer" for the time being

2018-01-27T09:11:00Z

Due to some unfortunate events, I have not been directly involved in the x86 kernel patch flow for a while now. I have also not been able to ramp back up by now like I had hoped to, and after reviewing what I will need to work on both internally at Intel and elsewhere in the near term, it is clear that I am not going to be able to ramp back up until late 2018 at the very earliest. It is not acceptable to not recognize that this load is currently taken by Ingo and Thomas without my direct participation, so I mark myself as R: (designated reviewer) rather than M: (maintainer) until further notice. This is in fact recognizing the de facto situation for the past few years. I have obviously no intention of going away, and I will do everything within my power to improve Linux on x86 and x86 for Linux. This, however, puts credit where it is due and reflects a change of focus. This patch also removes stale entries for portions of the x86 architecture which have not been maintained separately from arch/x86 for a long time. If there is a reason to re-introduce them then that can happen later. Signed-off-by: H.
