Commit in Fixes was added as a catch-all for cases where the cmdline is
parsed before being merged with the builtin one.
And promptly one issue appeared, see Link below. The microcode loader
really needs to parse it that early, but the merging happens later.
Reshuffling the early boot nightmare^W code to handle that properly would
be a painful exercise for another day so do the chicken thing and parse the
builtin cmdline too before it has been merged.

Pull EFI updates from Ard Biesheuvel:
"Note the removal of the EFI fake memory map support - this is believed
to be unused and no longer worth supporting. However, we could easily
bring it back if needed.
With recent developments regarding confidential VMs and unaccepted
memory, combined with kexec, creating a known inaccurate view of the
firmware's memory map and handing it to the OS is a feature we can
live without, hence the removal. Alternatively, I could imagine making
this feature mutually exclusive with those confidential VM related
features, but let's try simply removing it first.
Summary:
- Drop support for the 'fake' EFI memory map on x86
- Add an SMBIOS based tweak to the EFI stub instructing the firmware
on x86 Macbook Pros to keep both GPUs enabled
- Replace 0-sized array with flexible array in EFI memory attributes
table handling
- Drop redundant BSS clearing when booting via the native PE
entrypoint on x86
- Avoid returning EFI_SUCCESS when aborting on an out-of-memory
condition
- Cosmetic tweak for arm64 KASLR loading logic"

|
|
Between kexec and confidential VM support, handling the EFI memory maps
correctly on x86 is already proving to be rather difficult (as opposed
to other EFI architectures which manage to never modify the EFI memory
map to begin with)
EFI fake memory map support is essentially a development hack (for
testing new support for the 'special purpose' and 'more reliable' EFI
memory attributes) that leaked into production code. The regions marked
in this manner are not actually recognized as such by the firmware
itself or the EFI stub (and never have), and marking memory as 'more
reliable' seems rather futile if the underlying memory is just ordinary
RAM.
Marking memory as 'special purpose' in this way is also dubious, but may
be in use in production code nonetheless. However, the same should be
achievable by using the memmap= command line option with the ! operator.
EFI fake memmap support is not enabled by any of the major distros
(Debian, Fedora, SUSE, Ubuntu) and does not exist on other
architectures, so let's drop support for it.

Commit
4faa0e5d6d79 ("x86/boot: Move kernel cmdline setup earlier in the boot process (again)")
fixed and issue where cmdline parsing would happen before the final
boot_command_line string has been built from the builtin and boot
cmdlines and thus cmdline arguments would get lost.
Add a check to catch any future wrong use ordering so that such issues
can be caught in time.

Patch series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor free_area_init_core()".
In function free_area_init_core(), the code calculating
zone->managed_pages and the subtracting dma_reserve from DMA zone looks
very confusing.
From git history, the code calculating zone->managed_pages was for
zone->present_pages originally. The early rough assignment is for
optimize zone's pcp and water mark setting. Later, managed_pages was
introduced into zone to represent the number of managed pages by buddy.
Now, zone->managed_pages is zeroed out and reset in mem_init() when
calling memblock_free_all(). zone's pcp and wmark setting relying on
actual zone->managed_pages are done later than mem_init() invocation. So
we don't need rush to early calculate and set zone->managed_pages, just
set it as zone->present_pages, will adjust it in mem_init().
And also add a new function calc_nr_kernel_pages() to count up free but
not reserved pages in memblock, then assign it to nr_all_pages and
nr_kernel_pages after memmap pages are allocated.
This patch (of 6):
Variable dma_reserve and its usage was introduced in commit 0e0b864e069c
("[PATCH] Account for memmap and optionally the kernel image as holes").
Its original purpose was to accounting for the reserved pages in DMA zone
to make DMA zone's watermarks calculation more accurate on x86.
However, currently there's zone->managed_pages to account for all
available pages for buddy, zone->present_pages to account for all present
physical pages in zone. What is more important, on x86, calculating and
setting the zone->managed_pages is a temporary move, all zone's
managed_pages will be zeroed out and reset to the actual value according
to how many pages are added to buddy allocator in mem_init(). Before
mem_init(), no buddy alloction is requested. And zone's pcp and watermark
setting are all done after mem_init(). So, no need to worry about the DMA
zone's setting accuracy during free_area_init().
Hence, remove memblock_find_dma_reserve() to stop calculating and
setting dma_reserve.

There are few uses of CoCo that don't rely on working cryptography and
hence a working RNG. Unfortunately, the CoCo threat model means that the
VM host cannot be trusted and may actively work against guests to
extract secrets or manipulate computation. Since a malicious host can
modify or observe nearly all inputs to guests, the only remaining source
of entropy for CoCo guests is RDRAND.
If RDRAND is broken -- due to CPU hardware fault -- the RNG as a whole
is meant to gracefully continue on gathering entropy from other sources,
but since there aren't other sources on CoCo, this is catastrophic.
This is mostly a concern at boot time when initially seeding the RNG, as
after that the consequences of a broken RDRAND are much more
theoretical.
So, try at boot to seed the RNG using 256 bits of RDRAND output. If this
fails, panic(). This will also trigger if the system is booted without
RDRAND, as RDRAND is essential for a safe CoCo boot.
Add this deliberately to be "just a CoCo x86 driver feature" and not
part of the RNG itself. Many device drivers and platforms have some
desire to contribute something to the RNG, and add_device_randomness()
is specifically meant for this purpose.
Any driver can call it with seed data of any quality, or even garbage
quality, and it can only possibly make the quality of the RNG better or
have no effect, but can never make it worse.
Rather than trying to build something into the core of the RNG, consider
the particular CoCo issue just a CoCo issue, and therefore separate it
all out into driver (well, arch/platform) code.

When split_lock_detect=off (or similar) is specified in
CONFIG_CMDLINE, its effect is lost. The flow is currently this:
setup_arch():
-> early_cpu_init()
-> early_identify_cpu()
-> sld_setup()
-> sld_state_setup()
-> Looks for split_lock_detect in boot_command_line
-> e820__memory_setup()
-> Assemble final command line:
boot_command_line = builtin_cmdline + boot_cmdline
-> parse_early_param()
There were earlier attempts at fixing this in:
8d48bf8206f7 ("x86/boot: Pull up cmdline preparation and early param parsing")
later reverted in:
fbe618399854 ("Revert "x86/boot: Pull up cmdline preparation and early param parsing"")
... because parse_early_param() can't be called before
e820__memory_setup().
In this patch, we just move the command line concatenation to the
beginning of early_cpu_init(). This should fix sld_state_setup(), while
not running in the same issues as the earlier attempt.
The order is now:
setup_arch():
-> Assemble final command line:
boot_command_line = builtin_cmdline + boot_cmdline
-> early_cpu_init()
-> early_identify_cpu()
-> sld_setup()
-> sld_state_setup()
-> Looks for split_lock_detect in boot_command_line
-> e820__memory_setup()
-> parse_early_param()

SEV-SNP requires encrypted memory to be validated before access.
Because the ROM memory range is not part of the e820 table, it is not
pre-validated by the BIOS. Therefore, if a SEV-SNP guest kernel wishes
to access this range, the guest must first validate the range.
The current SEV-SNP code does indeed scan the ROM range during early
boot and thus attempts to validate the ROM range in probe_roms().
However, this behavior is neither sufficient nor necessary for the
following reasons:
* With regards to sufficiency, if EFI_CONFIG_TABLES are not enabled and
CONFIG_DMI_SCAN_MACHINE_NON_EFI_FALLBACK is set, the kernel will
attempt to access the memory at SMBIOS_ENTRY_POINT_SCAN_START (which
falls in the ROM range) prior to validation.
For example, Project Oak Stage 0 provides a minimal guest firmware
that currently meets these configuration conditions, meaning guests
booting atop Oak Stage 0 firmware encounter a problematic call chain
during dmi_setup() -> dmi_scan_machine() that results in a crash
during boot if SEV-SNP is enabled.
* With regards to necessity, SEV-SNP guests generally read garbage
(which changes across boots) from the ROM range, meaning these scans
are unnecessary. The guest reads garbage because the legacy ROM range
is unencrypted data but is accessed via an encrypted PMD during early
boot (where the PMD is marked as encrypted due to potentially mapping
actually-encrypted data in other PMD-contained ranges).
In one exceptional case, EISA probing treats the ROM range as
unencrypted data, which is inconsistent with other probing.
Continuing to allow SEV-SNP guests to use garbage and to inconsistently
classify ROM range encryption status can trigger undesirable behavior.
For instance, if garbage bytes appear to be a valid signature, memory
may be unnecessarily reserved for the ROM range. Future code or other
use cases may result in more problematic (arbitrary) behavior that
should be avoided.
While one solution would be to overhaul the early PMD mapping to always
treat the ROM region of the PMD as unencrypted, SEV-SNP guests do not
currently rely on data from the ROM region during early boot (and even
if they did, they would be mostly relying on garbage data anyways).
As a simpler solution, skip the ROM range scans (and the otherwise-
necessary range validation) during SEV-SNP guest early boot. The
potential SEV-SNP guest crash due to lack of ROM range validation is
thus avoided by simply not accessing the ROM range.
In most cases, skip the scans by overriding problematic x86_init
functions during sme_early_init() to SNP-safe variants, which can be
likened to x86_init overrides done for other platforms (ex: Xen); such
overrides also avoid the spread of cc_platform_has() checks throughout
the tree.
In the exceptional EISA case, still use cc_platform_has() for the
simplest change, given (1) checks for guest type (ex: Xen domain status)
are already performed here, and (2) these checks occur in a subsys
initcall instead of an x86_init function.

The boot sequence evaluates CPUID information twice:
1) During early boot
2) When finalizing the early setup right before
mitigations are selected and alternatives are patched.
In both cases the evaluation is stored in boot_cpu_data, but on UP the
copying of boot_cpu_data to the per CPU info of the boot CPU happens
between #1 and #2. So any update which happens in #2 is never propagated to
the per CPU info instance.
Consolidate the whole logic and copy boot_cpu_data right before applying
alternatives as that's the point where boot_cpu_data is in it's final
state and not supposed to change anymore.
This also removes the voodoo mb() from smp_prepare_cpus_common() which
had absolutely no purpose.

format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

On UP builds Sparse complains rightfully about accesses to cpu_info with
per CPU accessors:
cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: expected void const [noderef] __percpu *__vpp_verify
cacheinfo.c:282:30: sparse: got unsigned int *
The reason is that on UP builds cpu_info which is a per CPU variable on SMP
is mapped to boot_cpu_info which is a regular variable. There is a hideous
accessor cpu_data() which tries to hide this, but it's not sufficient as
some places require raw accessors and generates worse code than the regular
per CPU accessors.
Waste sizeof(struct x86_cpuinfo) memory on UP and provide the per CPU
cpu_info unconditionally. This requires to update the CPU info on the boot
CPU as SMP does. (Ab)use the weakly defined smp_prepare_boot_cpu() function
and implement exactly that.
This allows to use regular per CPU accessors uncoditionally and paves the
way to remove the cpu_data() hackery.

Managing possible CPUs is an unreadable and uncomprehensible maze. Aside of
that it's backwards because it applies command line limits after
registering all APICs.
Rewrite it so that it:
- Applies the command line limits upfront so that only the allowed amount
of APIC IDs can be registered.
- Applies eventual late restrictions in an understandable way
- Uses simple min_t() calculations which are trivial to follow.
- Provides a separate function for resetting to UP mode late in the
bringup process.

Pull x86 TDX updates from Dave Hansen:
"This contains the initial support for host-side TDX support so that
KVM can run TDX-protected guests. This does not include the actual
KVM-side support which will come from the KVM folks. The TDX host
interactions with kexec also needs to be ironed out before this is
ready for prime time, so this code is currently Kconfig'd off when
kexec is on.
The majority of the code here is the kernel telling the TDX module
which memory to protect and handing some additional memory over to it
to use to store TDX module metadata. That sounds pretty simple, but
the TDX architecture is rather flexible and it takes quite a bit of
back-and-forth to say, "just protect all memory, please."
There is also some code tacked on near the end of the series to handle
a hardware erratum. The erratum can make software bugs such as a
kernel write to TDX-protected memory cause a machine check and
masquerade as a real hardware failure. The erratum handling watches
out for these and tries to provide nicer user errors"

Start to transit out the "multi-steps" to initialize the TDX module.
TDX provides increased levels of memory confidentiality and integrity.
This requires special hardware support for features like memory
encryption and storage of memory integrity checksums. Not all memory
satisfies these requirements.
As a result, TDX introduced the concept of a "Convertible Memory Region"
(CMR). During boot, the firmware builds a list of all of the memory
ranges which can provide the TDX security guarantees. The list of these
ranges is available to the kernel by querying the TDX module.
CMRs tell the kernel which memory is TDX compatible. The kernel needs
to build a list of memory regions (out of CMRs) as "TDX-usable" memory
and pass them to the TDX module. Once this is done, those "TDX-usable"
memory regions are fixed during module's lifetime.
To keep things simple, assume that all TDX-protected memory will come
from the page allocator. Make sure all pages in the page allocator
*are* TDX-usable memory.
As TDX-usable memory is a fixed configuration, take a snapshot of the
memory configuration from memblocks at the time of module initialization
(memblocks are modified on memory hotplug). This snapshot is used to
enable TDX support for *this* memory configuration only. Use a memory
hotplug notifier to ensure that no other RAM can be added outside of
this configuration.
This approach requires all memblock memory regions at the time of module
initialization to be TDX convertible memory to work, otherwise module
initialization will fail in a later SEAMCALL when passing those regions
to the module. This approach works when all boot-time "system RAM" is
TDX convertible memory and no non-TDX-convertible memory is hot-added
to the core-mm before module initialization.
For instance, on the first generation of TDX machines, both CXL memory
and NVDIMM are not TDX convertible memory. Using kmem driver to hot-add
any CXL memory or NVDIMM to the core-mm before module initialization
will result in failure to initialize the module. The SEAMCALL error
code will be available in the dmesg to help user to understand the
failure.
