kernel_unmap_pages_in_pgd() is dangerous: if a PGD entry in
init_mm.pgd were to be cleared, callers would need to ensure that
the pgd entry hadn't been propagated to any other pgd.
Its only caller was efi_cleanup_page_tables(), and that, in turn,
was unused, so just delete both functions. This leaves a couple of
other helpers unused, so delete them, too.

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. In the case of
some of these which are modular, we can extend that to also include
files that are building basic support functionality but not related
to loading or registering the final module; such files also have
no need whatsoever for module.h
The advantage in removing such instances is that module.h itself
sources about 15 other headers; adding significantly to what we feed
cpp, and it can obscure what headers we are effectively using.
Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each instance for the
presence of either and replace as needed.
In the case of crypto/glue_helper.c we delete a redundant instance
of MODULE_LICENSE in order to delete module.h -- the license info
is already present at the top of the file.
The uncore change warrants a mention too; it is uncore.c that uses
module.h and not uncore.h; hence the relocation done there.

KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API is a capability for features related to x2APIC
enablement. KVM_X2APIC_API_32BIT_FORMAT feature can be enabled to
extend APIC ID in get/set ioctl and MSI addresses to 32 bits.
Both are needed to support x2APIC.
The feature has to be enableable and disabled by default, because
get/set ioctl shifted and truncated APIC ID to 8 bits by using a
non-standard protocol inspired by xAPIC and the change is not
backward-compatible.
Changes to MSI addresses follow the format used by interrupt remapping
unit. The upper address word, that used to be 0, contains upper 24 bits
of the LAPIC address in its upper 24 bits. Lower 8 bits are reserved as
0. Using the upper address word is not backward-compatible either as we
didn't check that userspace zeroed the word. Reserved bits are still
not explicitly checked, but non-zero data will affect LAPIC addresses,
which will cause a bug.

The erratum we are fixing here can lead to stray setting of the
A and D bits. That means that a pte that we cleared might
suddenly have A/D set. So, stop considering those bits when
determining if a pte is pte_none(). The same goes for the
other pmd_none() and pud_none(). pgd_none() can be skipped
because it is not affected; we do not use PGD entries for
anything other than pagetables on affected configurations.
This adds a tiny amount of overhead to all pte_none() checks.
I doubt we'll be able to measure it anywhere.

This erratum can result in Accessed/Dirty getting set by the hardware
when we do not expect them to be (on !Present PTEs).
Instead of trying to fix them up after this happens, we just
allow the bits to get set and try to ignore them. We do this by
shifting the layout of the bits we use for swap offset/type in
our 64-bit PTEs.
It looks like this:
bitnrs: | ... | 11| 10| 9|8|7|6|5| 4| 3|2|1|0|
names: | ... |SW3|SW2|SW1|G|L|D|A|CD|WT|U|W|P|
before: | OFFSET (9-63) |0|X|X| TYPE(1-5) |0|
after: | OFFSET (14-63) | TYPE (9-13) |0|X|X|X| X| X|X|X|0|
Note that D was already a don't care (X) even before. We just
move TYPE up and turn its old spot (which could be hit by the
A bit) into all don't cares.
We take 5 bits away from the offset, but that still leaves us
with 50 bits which lets us index into a 62-bit swapfile (4 EiB).
I think that's probably fine for the moment. We could
theoretically reclaim 5 of the bits (1, 2, 3, 4, 7) but it
doesn't gain us anything.

One such test case is: setting an invalid extended state

CPUID function 0x0d, sub function (i, i > 1) returns in ebx the offset of
xstate component i. Zero is returned for a supervisor state. A supervisor
state can only be saved by XSAVES and XSAVES uses a compacted format.
There is no fixed offset for a supervisor state. This patch checks and
makes sure a supervisor state offset is not recorded or mis-used. This has
no effect in practice as we currently use no supervisor states, but it
would be good to fix.

Add the physical mapping in the list of randomized memory regions.
The physical memory mapping holds most allocations from boot and heap
allocators. Knowing the base address and physical memory size, an attacker
can deduce the PDE virtual address for the vDSO memory page. This attack
was demonstrated at CanSecWest 2016, in the following presentation:
"Getting Physical: Extreme Abuse of Intel Based Paged Systems":
https://github.com/n3k/CansecWest2016_Getting_Physical_Extreme_Abuse_of_Intel_Based_Paging_Systems/blob/master/Presentation/CanSec2016_Presentation.pdf
(See second part of the presentation).
The exploits used against Linux worked successfully against 4.6+ but
fail with KASLR memory enabled:
https://github.com/n3k/CansecWest2016_Getting_Physical_Extreme_Abuse_of_Intel_Based_Paging_Systems/tree/master/Demos/Linux/exploits
Similar research was done at Google leading to this patch proposal.
Variants exists to overwrite /proc or /sys objects ACLs leading to
elevation of privileges. These variants were tested against 4.6+.
The page offset used by the compressed kernel retains the static value
since it is not yet randomized during this boot stage.

Randomizes the virtual address space of kernel memory regions for
x86_64. This first patch adds the infrastructure and does not randomize
any region. The following patches will randomize the physical memory
mapping, vmalloc and vmemmap regions.
This security feature mitigates exploits relying on predictable kernel
addresses. These addresses can be used to disclose the kernel modules
base addresses or corrupt specific structures to elevate privileges
bypassing the current implementation of KASLR. This feature can be
enabled with the CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY option.
The order of each memory region is not changed. The feature looks at the
available space for the regions based on different configuration options
and randomizes the base and space between each. The size of the physical
memory mapping is the available physical memory. No performance impact
was detected while testing the feature.
Entropy is generated using the KASLR early boot functions now shared in
the lib directory (originally written by Kees Cook). Randomization is
done on PGD & PUD page table levels to increase possible addresses. The
physical memory mapping code was adapted to support PUD level virtual
addresses. This implementation on the best configuration provides 30,000
possible virtual addresses in average for each memory region. An
additional low memory page is used to ensure each CPU can start with a
PGD aligned virtual address (for realmode).
x86/dump_pagetable was updated to correctly display each region.
Updated documentation on x86_64 memory layout accordingly.

Track generated header files which aren't already in genhdr-y, alongside
generic-y wrappers in the */include/generated/[uapi/]asm/ directories.
Currently only x86 generates extra headers in these directories, for the
purposes of enumerating system calls for different ABIs, and xen
hypercalls.
This will allow the asm-generic wrapper handling code to remove stale
wrappers when files are removed from generic-y, without also removing
these headers which are generated separately.

Len Brown noticed something was amiss in our INTEL_FAM6_*
definitions. It seems like model 0x1F was a Nehalem part,
marketed as "Intel Core i7 and i5 Processors" (according to the
SDM). But, although it was a Nehalem 0x1F had some uncore events
which were shared with Westmere.
Len also mentioned he thought it was called "Havendale", which
Wikipedia says was graphics-oriented and canceled:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehalem_(microarchitecture)
So either way, it's probably not imporant what we call it, but
call it Nehalem to be accurate, and add a "G" since it seems
graphics-related. If it were canceled that would be a good reason
why it's so sparsely and inconsistently referred to in the code.

Every time we add a word to our cpu features, we need to add
something like this in two places:
(((bit)>>5)==16 && (1UL<<((bit)&31) & REQUIRED_MASK16))
The trick is getting the "16" in this case in both places. I've
now screwed this up twice, so as pennance, I've come up with
this patch to keep me and other poor souls from doing the same.
I also commented the logic behind the bit manipulation showcased
above.

x86 has two macros which allow us to evaluate some CPUID-based
features at compile time:
REQUIRED_MASK_BIT_SET()
DISABLED_MASK_BIT_SET()
They're both defined by having the compiler check the bit
argument against some constant masks of features.
But, when adding new CPUID leaves, we need to check new words
for these macros. So make sure that those macros and the
REQUIRED_MASK* and DISABLED_MASK* get updated when necessary.
This looks kinda silly to have an open-coded value ("18" in
this case) open-coded in 5 places in the code. But, we really do
need 5 places updated when NCAPINTS gets bumped, so now we just
force the issue.

Protocol for the "version" fields is: hypervisor raises it (making it
uneven) before it starts updating the fields and raises it again (making
it even) when it is done. Thus the guest can make sure the time values
it got are consistent by checking the version before and after reading
them.
Add CPU barries after getting version value just like what function
vread_pvclock does, because all of callees in this function is inline.

This commit makes a few slight modifications to the efi_call_virt() macro
to get it to work with function pointers that are stored in locations
other than efi.systab->runtime, and renames the macro to
efi_call_virt_pointer(). The majority of the changes here are to pull
these macros up into header files so that they can be accessed from
outside of drivers/firmware/efi/runtime-wrappers.c.
The most significant change not directly related to the code move is to
add an extra "p" argument into the appropriate efi_call macros, and use
that new argument in place of the, formerly hard-coded,
efi.systab->runtime pointer.
The last piece of the puzzle was to add an efi_call_virt() macro back into
drivers/firmware/efi/runtime-wrappers.c to wrap around the new
efi_call_virt_pointer() macro - this was mainly to keep the code from
looking too cluttered by adding a bunch of extra references to
efi.systab->runtime everywhere.
Note that I also broke up the code in the efi_call_virt_pointer() macro a
bit in the process of moving it.

This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have
basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get
rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending
it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced
considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step
and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this
release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window
hopefully.
Motivation:
While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of
__GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and
always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly
high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small
orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a
copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another.
I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just
making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is
documented as
* __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt
* _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation.
while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could
reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop
for ever. This is not implemented right now though.
I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic
for it.
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l
111
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l
36
So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining
places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation
requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later
after all the simple ones are sorted out.
I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right
but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I
do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to
review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually
hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from
arch maintainers.

This patch (of 19):
__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we
have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0
allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is
explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker
semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail).
Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to
identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate
a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.
