xen/events: defer eoi in case of excessive number of events

2020-11-05T10:51:08Z

commit e99502f76271d6bc4e374fe368c50c67a1fd3070 upstream. In case rogue guests are sending events at high frequency it might happen that xen_evtchn_do_upcall() won't stop processing events in dom0. As this is done in irq handling a crash might be the result. In order to avoid that, delay further inter-domain events after some time in xen_evtchn_do_upcall() by forcing eoi processing into a worker on the same cpu, thus inhibiting new events coming in. The time after which eoi processing is to be delayed is configurable via a new module parameter "event_loop_timeout" which specifies the maximum event loop time in jiffies (default: 2, the value was chosen after some tests showing that a value of 2 was the lowest with an only slight drop of dom0 network throughput while multiple guests performed an event storm). How long eoi processing will be delayed can be specified via another parameter "event_eoi_delay" (again in jiffies, default 10, again the value was chosen after testing with different delay values). This is part of XSA-332. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Julien Grall Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross Reviewed-by: Stefano Stabellini Reviewed-by: Wei Liu Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

x86/fpu: Allow multiple bits in clearcpuid= parameter

2020-10-29T09:11:00Z

[ Upstream commit 0a4bb5e5507a585532cc413125b921c8546fc39f ] Commit 0c2a3913d6f5 ("x86/fpu: Parse clearcpuid= as early XSAVE argument") changed clearcpuid parsing from __setup() to cmdline_find_option(). While the __setup() function would have been called for each clearcpuid= parameter on the command line, cmdline_find_option() will only return the last one, so the change effectively made it impossible to disable more than one bit. Allow a comma-separated list of bit numbers as the argument for clearcpuid to allow multiple bits to be disabled again. Log the bits being disabled for informational purposes. Also fix the check on the return value of cmdline_find_option(). It returns -1 when the option is not found, so testing as a boolean is incorrect.

2020-09-01T19:14:06Z

Modify the EPP sysfs interface to reject attempts to change the EPP to values different from 0 ("performance") in the active mode with the "performance" policy (ie. scaling_governor set to "performance"), to avoid situations in which the kernel appears to discard data passed to it via the EPP sysfs attribute.
