   this version of the Linux kernel that were present in the previous

 - More notes on changes will follow after testing--no guarantees the

Pull x86 TSX Async Abort and iTLB Multihit mitigations from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The performance deterioration departement is not proud at all of
  presenting the seventh installment of speculation mitigations and
  hardware misfeature workarounds:

   1) TSX Async Abort (TAA) - 'The Annoying Affair'

      TAA is a hardware vulnerability that allows unprivileged
      speculative access to data which is available in various CPU
      internal buffers by using asynchronous aborts within an Intel TSX
      transactional region.

      The mitigation depends on a microcode update providing a new MSR
      which allows to disable TSX in the CPU. CPUs which have no
      microcode update can be mitigated by disabling TSX in the BIOS if
      the BIOS provides a tunable.

      Newer CPUs will have a bit set which indicates that the CPU is not
      vulnerable, but the MSR to disable TSX will be available
      nevertheless as it is an architected MSR. That means the kernel
      provides the ability to disable TSX on the kernel command line,
      which is useful as TSX is a truly useful mechanism to accelerate
      side channel attacks of all sorts.

   2) iITLB Multihit (NX) - 'No eXcuses'

      iTLB Multihit is an erratum where some Intel processors may incur
      a machine check error, possibly resulting in an unrecoverable CPU
      lockup, when an instruction fetch hits multiple entries in the
      instruction TLB. This can occur when the page size is changed
      along with either the physical address or cache type. A malicious
      guest running on a virtualized system can exploit this erratum to
      perform a denial of service attack.

      The workaround is that KVM marks huge pages in the extended page
      tables as not executable (NX). If the guest attempts to execute in
      such a page, the page is broken down into 4k pages which are
      marked executable. The workaround comes with a mechanism to
      recover these shattered huge pages over time.

  Both issues come with full documentation in the hardware
  vulnerabilities section of the Linux kernel user's and administrator's
  guide.

  Thanks to all patch authors and reviewers who had the extraordinary
  priviledge to be exposed to this nuisance.

  Special thanks to Borislav Petkov for polishing the final TAA patch
  set and to Paolo Bonzini for shepherding the KVM iTLB workarounds and
  providing also the backports to stable kernels for those!"

<title>KVM: MMU: Do not treat ZONE_DEVICE pages as being reserved</title>

<id>a78986aae9b2988f8493f9f65a587ee433e83bc3</id>
<content type='text'>
Explicitly exempt ZONE_DEVICE pages from kvm_is_reserved_pfn() and
instead manually handle ZONE_DEVICE on a case-by-case basis.  For things
like page refcounts, KVM needs to treat ZONE_DEVICE pages like normal
pages, e.g. put pages grabbed via gup().  But for flows such as setting
A/D bits or shifting refcounts for transparent huge pages, KVM needs to
to avoid processing ZONE_DEVICE pages as the flows in question lack the
underlying machinery for proper handling of ZONE_DEVICE pages.

This fixes a hang reported by Adam Borowski[*] in dev_pagemap_cleanup()
when running a KVM guest backed with /dev/dax memory, as KVM straight up
doesn't put any references to ZONE_DEVICE pages acquired by gup().

Note, Dan Williams proposed an alternative solution of doing put_page()
on ZONE_DEVICE pages immediately after gup() in order to simplify the
auditing needed to ensure is_zone_device_page() is called if and only if
the backing device is pinned (via gup()).  But that approach would break
kvm_vcpu_{un}map() as KVM requires the page to be pinned from map() 'til
unmap() when accessing guest memory, unlike KVM's secondary MMU, which
coordinates with mmu_notifier invalidations to avoid creating stale
page references, i.e. doesn't rely on pages being pinned.

<title>mm: thp: handle page cache THP correctly in PageTransCompoundMap</title>

<id>169226f7e0d275c1879551f37484ef6683579a5c</id>
<content type='text'>
We have a usecase to use tmpfs as QEMU memory backend and we would like
to take the advantage of THP as well.  But, our test shows the EPT is
not PMD mapped even though the underlying THP are PMD mapped on host.
The number showed by /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepage is much less than
the number of PMD mapped shmem pages as the below:

  7f2778200000-7f2878200000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 262232 /dev/shm/qemu_back_mem.mem.Hz2hSf (deleted)
  Size:            4194304 kB
  [snip]
  AnonHugePages:         0 kB
  ShmemPmdMapped:   579584 kB
  [snip]
  Locked:                0 kB

  cat /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepages
  12

And some benchmarks do worse than with anonymous THPs.

By digging into the code we figured out that commit 127393fbe597 ("mm:
thp: kvm: fix memory corruption in KVM with THP enabled") checks if
there is a single PTE mapping on the page for anonymous THP when setting
up EPT map.  But the _mapcount &lt; 0 check doesn't work for page cache THP
since every subpage of page cache THP would get _mapcount inc'ed once it
is PMD mapped, so PageTransCompoundMap() always returns false for page
cache THP.  This would prevent KVM from setting up PMD mapped EPT entry.

So we need handle page cache THP correctly.  However, when page cache
THP's PMD gets split, kernel just remove the map instead of setting up
PTE map like what anonymous THP does.  Before KVM calls get_user_pages()
the subpages may get PTE mapped even though it is still a THP since the
page cache THP may be mapped by other processes at the mean time.

Checking its _mapcount and whether the THP has PTE mapped or not.
Although this may report some false negative cases (PTE mapped by other
processes), it looks not trivial to make this accurate.

With this fix /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepage would show reasonable
pages are PMD mapped by EPT as the below:

  7fbeaee00000-7fbfaee00000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 275464 /dev/shm/qemu_back_mem.mem.SKUvat (deleted)
  Size:            4194304 kB
  [snip]
  AnonHugePages:         0 kB
  ShmemPmdMapped:   557056 kB
  [snip]
  Locked:                0 kB

  cat /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepages
  271

And the benchmarks are as same as anonymous THPs.
