x86, apic, kexec: Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter
Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter. To use this kernel parameter, specify an initial APIC ID of the corresponding CPU you want to disable. This is mostly used for the kdump 2nd kernel to disable BSP to wake up multiple CPUs without causing system reset or hang due to sending INIT from AP to BSP. Kdump users first figure out initial APIC ID of the BSP, CPU0 in the 1st kernel, for example from /proc/cpuinfo and then set up this kernel parameter for the 2nd kernel using the obtained APIC ID. However, doing this procedure at each boot time manually is awkward, which should be automatically done by user-land service scripts, for example, kexec-tools on fedora/RHEL distributions. This design is more flexible than disabling BSP in kernel boot time automatically in that in kernel boot time we have no choice but referring to ACPI/MP table to obtain initial APIC ID for BSP, meaning that the method is not applicable to the systems without such BIOS tables. One assumption behind this design is that users get initial APIC ID of the BSP in still healthy state and so BSP is uniquely kept in CPU0. Thus, through the kernel parameter, only one initial APIC ID can be specified. In a comparison with disabled_cpu_apicid, we use read_apic_id(), not boot_cpu_physical_apicid, because on some platforms, the variable is modified to the apicid reported as BSP through MP table and this function is executed with the temporarily modified boot_cpu_physical_apicid. As a result, disabled_cpu_apicid kernel parameter doesn't work well for apicids of APs. Fixing the wrong handling of boot_cpu_physical_apicid requires some reviews and tests beyond some platforms and it could take some time. The fix here is a kind of workaround to focus on the main topic of this patch.

libata: disable a disk via libata.force params
A user on StackExchange had a failing SSD that's soldered directly onto the motherboard of his system. The BIOS does not give any option to disable it at all, so he can't just hide it from the OS via the BIOS. The old IDE layer had hdX=noprobe override for situations like this, but that was never ported to the libata layer. This patch implements a disable flag for libata.force.

Merge branch 'for-linus2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull security subsystem updates from James Morris:
"In this patchset, we finally get an SELinux update, with Paul Moore
taking over as maintainer of that code.
Also a significant update for the Keys subsystem, as well as
maintenance updates to Smack, IMA, TPM, and Apparmor"
and since I wanted to know more about the updates to key handling,
here's the explanation from David Howells on that:
"Okay. There are a number of separate bits. I'll go over the big bits
and the odd important other bit, most of the smaller bits are just
fixes and cleanups. If you want the small bits accounting for, I can
do that too.
(1) Keyring capacity expansion.
KEYS: Consolidate the concept of an 'index key' for key access
KEYS: Introduce a search context structure
KEYS: Search for auth-key by name rather than target key ID
Add a generic associative array implementation.
KEYS: Expand the capacity of a keyring
Several of the patches are providing an expansion of the capacity of a
keyring. Currently, the maximum size of a keyring payload is one page.
Subtract a small header and then divide up into pointers, that only gives
you ~500 pointers on an x86_64 box. However, since the NFS idmapper uses
a keyring to store ID mapping data, that has proven to be insufficient to
the cause.
Whatever data structure I use to handle the keyring payload, it can only
store pointers to keys, not the keys themselves because several keyrings
may point to a single key. This precludes inserting, say, and rb_node
struct into the key struct for this purpose.
I could make an rbtree of records such that each record has an rb_node
and a key pointer, but that would use four words of space per key stored
in the keyring. It would, however, be able to use much existing code.
I selected instead a non-rebalancing radix-tree type approach as that
could have a better space-used/key-pointer ratio. I could have used the
radix tree implementation that we already have and insert keys into it by
their serial numbers, but that means any sort of search must iterate over
the whole radix tree. Further, its nodes are a bit on the capacious side
for what I want - especially given that key serial numbers are randomly
allocated, thus leaving a lot of empty space in the tree.
So what I have is an associative array that internally is a radix-tree
with 16 pointers per node where the index key is constructed from the key
type pointer and the key description. This means that an exact lookup by
type+description is very fast as this tells us how to navigate directly to
the target key.
I made the data structure general in lib/assoc_array.c as far as it is
concerned, its index key is just a sequence of bits that leads to a
pointer. It's possible that someone else will be able to make use of it
also. FS-Cache might, for example.
(2) Mark keys as 'trusted' and keyrings as 'trusted only'.
KEYS: verify a certificate is signed by a 'trusted' key
KEYS: Make the system 'trusted' keyring viewable by userspace
KEYS: Add a 'trusted' flag and a 'trusted only' flag
KEYS: Separate the kernel signature checking keyring from module signing
These patches allow keys carrying asymmetric public keys to be marked as
being 'trusted' and allow keyrings to be marked as only permitting the
addition or linkage of trusted keys.
Keys loaded from hardware during kernel boot or compiled into the kernel
during build are marked as being trusted automatically. New keys can be
loaded at runtime with add_key(). They are checked against the system
keyring contents and if their signatures can be validated with keys that
are already marked trusted, then they are marked trusted also and can
thus be added into the master keyring.
Patches from Mimi Zohar make this usable with the IMA keyrings also.
(3) Remove the date checks on the key used to validate a module signature.
X.509: Remove certificate date checks
It's not reasonable to reject a signature just because the key that it was
generated with is no longer valid datewise - especially if the kernel
hasn't yet managed to set the system clock when the first module is
loaded - so just remove those checks.
(4) Make it simpler to deal with additional X.509 being loaded into the kernel.
KEYS: Load *.x509 files into kernel keyring
KEYS: Have make canonicalise the paths of the X.509 certs better to deduplicate
The builder of the kernel now just places files with the extension ".x509"
into the kernel source or build trees and they're concatenated by the
kernel build and stuffed into the appropriate section.
(5) Add support for userspace kerberos to use keyrings.
KEYS: Add per-user_namespace registers for persistent per-UID kerberos caches
KEYS: Implement a big key type that can save to tmpfs
Fedora went to, by default, storing kerberos tickets and tokens in tmpfs.
We looked at storing it in keyrings instead as that confers certain
advantages such as tickets being automatically deleted after a certain
amount of time and the ability for the kernel to get at these tokens more
easily.
To make this work, two things were needed:
(a) A way for the tickets to persist beyond the lifetime of all a user's
sessions so that cron-driven processes can still use them.
The problem is that a user's session keyrings are deleted when the
session that spawned them logs out and the user's user keyring is
deleted when the UID is deleted (typically when the last log out
happens), so neither of these places is suitable.
I've added a system keyring into which a 'persistent' keyring is
created for each UID on request. Each time a user requests their
persistent keyring, the expiry time on it is set anew. If the user
doesn't ask for it for, say, three days, the keyring is automatically
expired and garbage collected using the existing gc. All the kerberos
tokens it held are then also gc'd.
(b) A key type that can hold really big tickets (up to 1MB in size).
The problem is that Active Directory can return huge tickets with lots
of auxiliary data attached. We don't, however, want to eat up huge
tracts of unswappable kernel space for this, so if the ticket is
greater than a certain size, we create a swappable shmem file and dump
the contents in there and just live with the fact we then have an
inode and a dentry overhead. If the ticket is smaller than that, we
slap it in a kmalloc()'d buffer"

drivers/char/hpet.c: allow user controlled mmap for user processes
The CONFIG_HPET_MMAP Kconfig option exposes the memory map of the HPET registers to userspace. The Kconfig help points out that in some cases this can be a security risk as some systems may erroneously configure the map such that additional data is exposed to userspace. This is a problem for distributions -- some users want the MMAP functionality but it comes with a significant security risk. In an effort to mitigate this risk, and due to the low number of users of the MMAP functionality, I've introduced a kernel parameter, hpet_mmap_enable, that is required in order to actually have the HPET MMAP exposed.

mem-hotplug: introduce movable_node boot option
The hot-Pluggable field in SRAT specifies which memory is hotpluggable. As we mentioned before, if hotpluggable memory is used by the kernel, it cannot be hot-removed. So memory hotplug users may want to set all hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use it. Memory hotplug users may also set a node as movable node, which has ZONE_MOVABLE only, so that the whole node can be hot-removed. But the kernel cannot use memory in ZONE_MOVABLE. By doing this, the kernel cannot use memory in movable nodes. This will cause NUMA performance down. And other users may be unhappy. So we need a way to allow users to enable and disable this functionality. In this patch, we introduce movable_node boot option to allow users to choose to not to consume hotpluggable memory at early boot time and later we can set it as ZONE_MOVABLE. To achieve this, the movable_node boot option will control the memblock allocation direction. That said, after memblock is ready, before SRAT is parsed, we should allocate memory near the kernel image as we explained in the previous patches. So if movable_node boot option is set, the kernel does the following: 1. After memblock is ready, make memblock allocate memory bottom up. 2. After SRAT is parsed, make memblock behave as default, allocate memory top down. Users can specify "movable_node" in kernel commandline to enable this functionality. For those who don't use memory hotplug or who don't want to lose their NUMA performance, just don't specify anything. The kernel will work as before.

x86/efi: Runtime services virtual mapping
We map the EFI regions needed for runtime services non-contiguously, with preserved alignment on virtual addresses starting from -4G down for a total max space of 64G. This way, we provide for stable runtime services addresses across kernels so that a kexec'd kernel can still use them. Thus, they're mapped in a separate pagetable so that we don't pollute the kernel namespace. Add an efi= kernel command line parameter for passing miscellaneous options and chicken bits from the command line. While at it, add a chicken bit called "efi=old_map" which can be used as a fallback to the old runtime services mapping method in case there's some b0rkage with a particular EFI implementation (haha, it is hard to hold up the sarcasm here...). Also, add the UEFI RT VA space to Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com> |

x86/efi: Add EFI framebuffer earlyprintk support
It's incredibly difficult to diagnose early EFI boot issues without special hardware because earlyprintk=vga doesn't work on EFI systems. Add support for writing to the EFI framebuffer, via earlyprintk=efi, which will actually give users a chance of providing debug output. Cc: H.

ima: enable support for larger default filedata hash algorithms
The IMA measurement list contains two hashes - a template data hash and a filedata hash. The template data hash is committed to the TPM, which is limited, by the TPM v1.2 specification, to 20 bytes. The filedata hash is defined as 20 bytes as well. Now that support for variable length measurement list templates was added, the filedata hash is not limited to 20 bytes. This patch adds Kconfig support for defining larger default filedata hash algorithms and replacing the builtin default with one specified on the kernel command line. <uapi/linux/hash_info.h> contains a list of hash algorithms. The Kconfig default hash algorithm is a subset of this list, but any hash algorithm included in the list can be specified at boot, using the 'ima_hash=' kernel command line option. Changelog v2: - update Kconfig Changelog: - support hashes that are configured - use generic HASH_ALGO_ definitions - add Kconfig support - hash_setup must be called only once (Dmitry) - removed trailing whitespaces (Roberto Sassu) Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@polito.it> |

ima: define kernel parameter 'ima_template=' to change configured default
This patch allows users to specify from the kernel command line the template descriptor, among those defined, that will be used to generate and display measurement entries. If an user specifies a wrong template, IMA reverts to the template descriptor set in the kernel configuration.

intel_mid: Renamed *mrst* to *intel_mid*
mrst is used as common name to represent all intel_mid type soc's. But moorsetwon is just one of the intel_mid soc. So renamed them to use intel_mid. This patch mainly renames the variables and related functions that uses *mrst* prefix with *intel_mid*. To ensure that there are no functional changes, I have compared the objdump of related files before and after rename and found the only difference is symbol and name changes.

x86, kaslr: Return location from decompress_kernel
This allows decompress_kernel to return a new location for the kernel to be relocated to. Additionally, enforces CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as the minimum relocation position when building with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE. With CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE set, the choose_kernel_location routine will select a new location to decompress the kernel, though here it is presently a no-op. The kernel command line option "nokaslr" is introduced to bypass these routines.

ACPI and power management updates for 3.12-rc1
1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) subsystem rework and introduction
of Intel Thunderbolt support on systems that use ACPI for signalling
Thunderbolt hotplug events. This also should make ACPIPHP work in
some cases in which it was known to have problems. From
Rafael J Wysocki, Mika Westerberg and Kirill A Shutemov.
2) ACPI core code cleanups and dock station support cleanups from
Jiang Liu and Rafael J Wysocki.
3) Fixes for locking problems related to ACPI device hotplug from
Rafael J Wysocki.
4) ACPICA update to version 20130725 includig fixes, cleanups, support
for more than 256 GPEs per GPE block and a change to make the ACPI
PM Timer optional (we've seen systems without the PM Timer in the
field already). One of the fixes, related to the DeRefOf operator,
is necessary to prevent some Windows 8 oriented AML from causing
problems to happen. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, and Jung-uk Kim.
5) Removal of the old and long deprecated /proc/acpi/event interface
and related driver changes from Thomas Renninger.
6) ACPI and Xen changes to make the reduced hardware sleep work with
the latter from Ben Guthro.
7) ACPI video driver cleanups and a blacklist of systems that should
not tell the BIOS that they are compatible with Windows 8 (or ACPI
backlight and possibly other things will not work on them). From
Felipe Contreras.
8) Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Aaron Lu, Hanjun Guo,
Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan, Lan Tianyu, Sachin Kamat, Tang Chen,
Toshi Kani, and Wei Yongjun.
9) cpufreq ondemand governor target frequency selection change to
reduce oscillations between min and max frequencies (essentially,
it causes the governor to choose target frequencies proportional
to load) from Stratos Karafotis.
10) cpufreq fixes allowing sysfs attributes file permissions to be
preserved over suspend/resume cycles Srivatsa S Bhat.
11) Removal of Device Tree parsing for CPU device nodes from multiple
cpufreq drivers that required some changes related to
of_get_cpu_node() to be made in a few architectures and in the
driver core. From Sudeep KarkadaNagesha.
12) cpufreq core fixes and cleanups related to mutual exclusion and

vt: make the default color configurable
The virtual console has (undocumented) module parameters to set the colors for italic and underlined text, but the default text color was hardcoded for some reason. This made it impossible to change the color for startup messages, or to set the default for new virtual consoles. Add a module parameter for that, and document the entire bunch. Any hacker who thinks that a command prompt on a "black screen with white font" is not supicious enough can now use the kernel parameter vt.color=10 to get a nice, evil green.

ACPI: Add facility to remove all _OSI strings
This patch changes the "acpi_osi=" boot parameter implementation so that: 1. "acpi_osi=!" can be used to disable all _OSI OS vendor strings by default. It is meaningless to specify "acpi_osi=!" multiple times as it can only affect the default state of the target _OSI strings. 2. "acpi_osi=!*" can be used to remove all _OSI OS vendor strings and all _OSI feature group strings. It is useful to specify "acpi_osi=!*" multiple times through kernel command line to override the current state of the target _OSI strings.

ACPI: Add facility to disable all _OSI OS vendor strings
This patch introduces "acpi_osi=!" command line to force Linux replying
"UNSUPPORTED" to all of the _OSI strings. This patch is based on an
ACPICA enhancement - the new API acpi_update_interfaces().
The _OSI object provides the platform with the ability to query OSPM
to determine the set of ACPI related interfaces, behaviors, or
features that the operating system supports. The argument passed to
the _OSI is a string like the followings:
1. Feature Group String, examples include
Module Device
Processor Device
3.0 _SCP Extensions
Processor Aggregator Device
...
2. OS Vendor String, examples include
Linux
FreeBSD
Windows
...
There are AML codes provided in the ACPI namespace written in the
following style to determine OSPM interfaces / features:
Method(OSCK)
{
if (CondRefOf(_OSI, Local0))
{
if (\_OSI("Windows"))
{
Return (One)
}
if (\_OSI("Windows 2006"))
{
Return (Ones)
}
Return (Zero)
}
Return (Zero)
}
There is a debugging facility implemented in Linux. Users can pass
"acpi_osi=" boot parameters to the kernel to tune the _OSI evaluation
result so that certain AML codes can be executed. Current
implementation includes:
1. 'acpi_osi=' - this makes CondRefOf(_OSI, Local0) TRUE
2. 'acpi_osi="Windows"' - this makes \_OSI("Windows") TRUE
3. 'acpi_osi="!Windows"' - this makes \_OSI("Windows") FALSE
The function to implement this feature is also used as a quirk mechanism
in the Linux ACPI subystem.
When _OSI is evaluatated by the AML codes, ACPICA replies "SUPPORTED"
to all Windows operating system vendor strings. This is because
Windows operating systems return "SUPPORTED" if the argument to the
_OSI method specifies an earlier version of Windows. Please refer to
the following MSDN document:
How to Identify the Windows Version in ACPI by Using _OSI
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hardware/gg463275.aspx
This adds difficulties when developers want to feed specific Windows
operating system vendor string to the BIOS codes for debugging
purpose, multiple acpi_osi="!xxx" have to be specified in the command
line to force Linux replying "UNSUPPORTED" to the Windows OS vendor
strings listed in the AML codes.

The majority of the changes here are cleanups for the large changes that
were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have been
marked for stable.
As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN about.
These include:
New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the function.
Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called "traceoff_on_warning"
which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any WARN_ON() is triggered.
This is useful if you want to debug what caused a warning and do not
want to risk losing your trace data by the ring buffer overwriting the
data before you can disable it. There's also a kernel command line
option that will make this enabled at boot up called the same thing.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up changes necessary at this point. The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh. This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions less effective. Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes." * 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: fbcon: queue work on power efficient wq block: queue work on power efficient wq PHYLIB: queue work on system_power_efficient_wq workqueue: Add system wide power_efficient workqueues workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueues |

tracing: Disable tracing on warning
Add a traceoff_on_warning option in both the kernel command line as well as a sysctl option. When set, any WARN*() function that is hit will cause the tracing_on variable to be cleared, which disables writing to the ring buffer. This is useful especially when tracing a bug with function tracing. When a warning is hit, the print caused by the warning can flood the trace with the functions that producing the output for the warning. This can make the resulting trace useless by either hiding where the bug happened, or worse, by overflowing the buffer and losing the trace of the bug totally.
