cpu/hotplug: Fix out-of-bounds read when setting fail state

2019-06-27T07:34:04Z

Setting invalid value to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/hotplug/fail can control `struct cpuhp_step *sp` address, results in the following global-out-of-bounds read.

cpu/speculation: Warn on unsupported mitigations= parameter

2019-06-26T14:56:21Z

Currently, if the user specifies an unsupported mitigation strategy on the kernel command line, it will be ignored silently. The code will fall back to the default strategy, possibly leaving the system more vulnerable than expected. This may happen due to e.g. a simple typo, or, for a stable kernel release, because not all mitigation strategies have been backported. Inform the user by printing a message.

x86/power: Fix 'nosmt' vs hibernation triple fault during resume

2019-06-03T10:02:03Z

As explained in 0cc3cd21657b ("cpu/hotplug: Boot HT siblings at least once") we always, no matter what, have to bring up x86 HT siblings during boot at least once in order to avoid first MCE bringing the system to its knees. That means that whenever 'nosmt' is supplied on the kernel command-line, all the HT siblings are as a result sitting in mwait or cpudile after going through the online-offline cycle at least once. This causes a serious issue though when a kernel, which saw 'nosmt' on its commandline, is going to perform resume from hibernation: if the resume from the hibernated image is successful, cr3 is flipped in order to point to the address space of the kernel that is being resumed, which in turn means that all the HT siblings are all of a sudden mwaiting on address which is no longer valid. That results in triple fault shortly after cr3 is switched, and machine reboots. Fix this by always waking up all the SMT siblings before initiating the 'restore from hibernation' process; this guarantees that all the HT siblings will be properly carried over to the resumed kernel waiting in resume_play_dead(), and acted upon accordingly afterwards, based on the target kernel configuration. Symmetricaly, the resumed kernel has to push the SMT siblings to mwait again in case it has SMT disabled; this means it has to online all the siblings when resuming (so that they come out of hlt) and offline them again to let them reach mwait.

kernel/cpu: Allow non-zero CPU to be primary for suspend / kexec freeze

2019-05-03T17:42:58Z

This patch provides an arch option, ARCH_SUSPEND_NONZERO_CPU, to opt-in to allowing suspend to occur on one of the housekeeping CPUs rather than hardcoded CPU0. This will allow CPU0 to be a nohz_full CPU with a later change. It may be possible for platforms with hardware/firmware restrictions on suspend/wake effectively support this by handing off the final stage to CPU0 when kernel housekeeping is no longer required. Another option is to make housekeeping / nohz_full mask dynamic at runtime, but the complexity could not be justified at this time.

cpu/speculation: Add 'mitigations=' cmdline option

2019-04-17T19:37:28Z

Keeping track of the number of mitigations for all the CPU speculation bugs has become overwhelming for many users. It's getting more and more complicated to decide which mitigations are needed for a given architecture. Complicating matters is the fact that each arch tends to have its own custom way to mitigate the same vulnerability. Most users fall into a few basic categories: a) they want all mitigations off; b) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT enabled even if it's vulnerable; or c) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT disabled if vulnerable. Define a set of curated, arch-independent options, each of which is an aggregation of existing options: - mitigations=off: Disable all mitigations. - mitigations=auto: [default] Enable all the default mitigations, but leave SMT enabled, even if it's vulnerable. - mitigations=auto,nosmt: Enable all the default mitigations, disabling SMT if needed by a mitigation. Currently, these options are placeholders which don't actually do anything. They will be fleshed out in upcoming patches.
