Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).
There's a background article at LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a
fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
virtual memory range.
This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also
allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
below).
This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
if a user-space application calls:
mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
or
mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
(note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
and unwritable.
So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security
advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.
We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.
There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
pull request.
Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
(CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
(like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's
any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
flip the default"

Leonid Shatz noticed that the SDM interpretation of the following
recent commit:
394db20ca2 ("x86/fpu: Disable AVX when eagerfpu is off")
... is incorrect and that the original behavior of the FPU code was correct.
Because AVX is not stated in CR0 TS bit description, it was mistakenly
believed to be not supported for lazy context switch. This turns out
to be false:
Intel Software Developer's Manual Vol. 3A, Sec. 2.5 Control Registers:
'TS Task Switched bit (bit 3 of CR0) -- Allows the saving of the x87 FPU/
MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4 context on a task switch to be delayed until
an x87 FPU/MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4 instruction is actually executed
by the new task.'
Intel Software Developer's Manual Vol. 2A, Sec. 2.4 Instruction Exception
Specification:
'AVX instructions refer to exceptions by classes that include #NM
"Device Not Available" exception for lazy context switch.'
So revert the commit.

When "eagerfpu=off" is given as a command-line input, the kernel
should disable AVX support.
The Task Switched bit used for lazy context switching does not
support AVX. If AVX is enabled without eagerfpu context
switching, one task's AVX state could become corrupted or leak
to other tasks. This is a bug and has bad security implications.
This only affects systems that have AVX/AVX2/AVX512 and this
issue will be found only when one actually uses AVX/AVX2/AVX512
_AND_ does eagerfpu=off.

Sec. 13.4.1 Using the TS Flag to Control the Saving of the X87
FPU and SSE State
When the TS flag is set, the processor monitors the instruction
stream for x87 FPU, MMX, SSE instructions. When the processor
detects one of these instructions, it raises a
device-not-available exeception (#NM) prior to executing the
instruction.

There are two concepts that have some confusing naming:
1. Extended State Component numbers (currently called
XFEATURE_BIT_*)
2. Extended State Component masks (currently called XSTATE_*)
The numbers are (currently) from 0-9. State component 3 is the
bounds registers for MPX, for instance.
But when we want to enable "state component 3", we go set a bit
in XCR0. The bit we set is 1<<3. We can check to see if a
state component feature is enabled by looking at its bit.
The current 'xfeature_bit's are at best xfeature bit _numbers_.
Calling them bits is at best inconsistent with ending the enum
list with 'XFEATURES_NR_MAX'.
This patch renames the enum to be 'xfeature'. These also
happen to be what the Intel documentation calls a "state
component".
We also want to differentiate these from the "XSTATE_*" macros.
The "XSTATE_*" macros are a mask, and we rename them to match.
These macros are reasonably widely used so this patch is a
wee bit big, but this really is just a rename.
The only non-mechanical part of this is the
s/XSTATE_EXTEND_MASK/XFEATURE_MASK_EXTEND/
We need a better name for it, but that's another patch.

[ Ported to v4.3-rc1. ]

The MPX code appears is calling a low-level FPU function
(copy_fpregs_to_fpstate()). This function is not able to
be called in all contexts, although it is safe to call
directly in some cases.
Although probably correct, the current code is ugly and
potentially error-prone. So, add a wrapper that calls
the (slightly) higher-level fpu__save() (which is preempt-
safe) and also ensures that we even *have* an FPU context
(in the case that this was called when in lazy FPU mode).
Ingo had this to say about the details about when we need
preemption disabled:
> it's indeed generally unsafe to access/copy FPU registers with preemption enabled,
> for two reasons:
>
> - on older systems that use FSAVE the instruction destroys FPU register
> contents, which has to be handled carefully
>
> - even on newer systems if we copy to FPU registers (which this code doesn't)
> then we don't want a context switch to occur in the middle of it, because a
> context switch will write to the fpstate, potentially overwriting our new data
> with old FPU state.
>
> But it's safe to access FPU registers with preemption enabled in a couple of
> special cases:
>
> - potentially destructively saving FPU registers: the signal handling code does
> this in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe(), because it can rely on the signal restore
> side to restore the original FPU state.
>
> - reading FPU registers on modern systems: we don't do this anywhere at the
> moment, mostly to keep symmetry with older systems where FSAVE is
> destructive.
>
> - initializing FPU registers on modern systems: fpu__clear() does this. Here
> it's safe because we don't copy from the fpstate.
>
> - directly writing FPU registers from user-space memory (!). We do this in
> fpu__restore_sig(), and it's safe because neither context switches nor
> irq-handler FPU use can corrupt the source context of the copy (which is
> user-space memory).
>
> Note that the MPX code's current use of copy_fpregs_to_fpstate() was safe I think,
> because:
>
> - MPX is predicated on eagerfpu, so the destructive F[N]SAVE instruction won't be

>
> - the code was only reading FPU registers, and was doing it only in places that

So the handling of init_xstate_ctx has a layering violation: both
'struct xsave_struct' and 'union thread_xstate' have a
'struct i387_fxsave_struct' member:
xsave_struct::i387
thread_xstate::fxsave
The handling of init_xstate_ctx is generic, it is used on all
CPUs, with or without XSAVE instruction. So it's confusing how
the generic code passes around and handles an XSAVE specific
format.
What we really want is for init_xstate_ctx to be a proper
fpstate and we use its ::fxsave and ::xsave members, as
appropriate.
Since the xsave_struct::i387 and thread_xstate::fxsave aliases
each other this is not a functional problem.
So implement this, and move init_xstate_ctx to the generic FPU
code in the process.
Also, since init_xstate_ctx is not XSAVE specific anymore,
rename it to init_fpstate, and mark it __read_mostly,
because it's only modified once during bootup, and used
as a reference fpstate later on.
There's no change in functionality.

'xsave' is an x86 instruction name to most people - but xsave.h is
about a lot more than just the XSAVE instruction: it includes
definitions and support, both internal and external, related to
xstate and xfeatures support.
As a first step in cleaning up the various xstate uses rename this
header to 'fpu/xstate.h' to better reflect what this header file
is about.
