Commit:
e2b32e6785 ("x86, kaslr: randomize module base load address")
made module base address randomization unconditional and didn't regard
disabled KKASLR due to CONFIG_HIBERNATION and command line option
"nokaslr". For more info see (now reverted) commit:
f47233c2d3 ("x86/mm/ASLR: Propagate base load address calculation")
In order to propagate KASLR status to kernel proper, we need a single bit
in boot_params.hdr.loadflags and we've chosen bit 1 thus leaving the
top-down allocated bits for bits supposed to be used by the bootloader.

This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer.
16TB of virtual addressed used for shadow memory. It's located in range
[ffffec0000000000 - fffffc0000000000] between vmemmap and %esp fixup
stacks.
At early stage we map whole shadow region with zero page. Latter, after
pages mapped to direct mapping address range we unmap zero pages from
corresponding shadow (see kasan_map_shadow()) and allocate and map a real
shadow memory reusing vmemmap_populate() function.
Also replace __pa with __pa_nodebug before shadow initialized. __pa with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y make external function call (__phys_addr)
__phys_addr is instrumented, so __asan_load could be called before shadow
area initialized.

This causes all non-NMI, non-double-fault kernel entries from
userspace to run on the normal kernel stack. Double-fault is
exempt to minimize confusion if we double-fault directly from
userspace due to a bad kernel stack.
This is, suprisingly, simpler and shorter than the current code. It
removes the IMO rather frightening paranoid_userspace path, and it
make sync_regs much simpler.
There is no risk of stack overflow due to this change -- the kernel
stack that we switch to is empty.
This will also enable us to create non-atomic sections within
machine checks from userspace, which will simplify memory failure
handling. It will also allow the upcoming fsgsbase code to be
simplified, because it doesn't need to worry about usergs when
scheduling in paranoid_exit, as that code no longer exists.

I was writing some MPX test programs and realized that the
current design makes it tricky. I did something like:
bndcfgu |= bnd_dir | BNDCFGU_ENABLE;
xrstor();
printf("xrstor done");
// #BR bounds exception here
prctl(MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT);
and then compiled the app with "-fcheck-pointer-bounds -mmpx"
to enable MPX instrumentation.
The problem is that there is MPX instrumentation inserted in
to the area of the printf(). The kernel gets a bounds exception
and since management isn't yet enabled, it SIGSEGV's.
Add a bit to the documentation to explain a way around this and
where apps need to be careful.

Most of the logic here is in the documentation file. Please take

I know we've come full-circle here back to a tunable, but this
new one is *WAY* simpler. I challenge anyone to describe in one
sentence how the old one worked. Here's the way the new one
works:
If we are flushing more pages than the ceiling, we use
the full flush, otherwise we use per-page flushes.

Pull x86-64 espfix changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is the espfix64 code, which fixes the IRET information leak as
well as the associated functionality problem. With this code applied,
16-bit stack segments finally work as intended even on a 64-bit
kernel.
Consequently, this patchset also removes the runtime option that we
added as an interim measure.
To help the people working on Linux kernels for very small systems,
this patchset also makes these compile-time configurable features"
* 'x86/espfix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
Revert "x86-64, modify_ldt: Make support for 16-bit segments a runtime option"
x86, espfix: Make it possible to disable 16-bit support
x86, espfix: Make espfix64 a Kconfig option, fix UML
x86, espfix: Fix broken header guard
x86, espfix: Move espfix definitions into a separate header file
x86-32, espfix: Remove filter for espfix32 due to race
x86-64, espfix: Don't leak bits 31:16 of %esp returning to 16-bit stack
The IRET instruction, when returning to a 16-bit segment, only
restores the bottom 16 bits of the user space stack pointer. This
causes some 16-bit software to break, but it also leaks kernel state
to user space. We have a software workaround for that ("espfix") for
the 32-bit kernel, but it relies on a nonzero stack segment base which
is not available in 64-bit mode.
In checkin:
b3b42ac2cb x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels
we "solved" this by forbidding 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels, with
the logic that 16-bit support is crippled on 64-bit kernels anyway (no
V86 support), but it turns out that people are doing stuff like
running old Win16 binaries under Wine and expect it to work.
This works around this by creating percpu "ministacks", each of which
is mapped 2^16 times 64K apart. When we detect that the return SS is
on the LDT, we copy the IRET frame to the ministack and use the
relevant alias to return to userspace. The ministacks are mapped
readonly, so if IRET faults we promote #GP to #DF which is an IST
vector and thus has its own stack; we then do the fixup in the #DF
handler.
(Making #GP an IST exception would make the msr_safe functions unsafe
in NMI/MC context, and quite possibly have other effects.)
Special thanks to:
- Andy Lutomirski, for the suggestion of using very small stack slots
and copy (as opposed to map) the IRET frame there, and for the
suggestion to mark them readonly and let the fault promote to #DF.
- Konrad Wilk for paravirt fixup and testing.
- Borislav Petkov for testing help and useful comments.

Old kexec-tools can not load new kernels. The reason is kexec-tools does
not fill efi_info in x86 setup header previously, thus EFI failed to
initialize. In new kexec-tools it will by default to fill efi_info and
pass other EFI required infomation to 2nd kernel so kexec kernel EFI
initialization can succeed finally.
To prevent from breaking userspace, add a new xloadflags bit so
kexec-tools can check the flag and switch to old logic.

Pull x86 EFI changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Main changes:
- Add support for earlyprintk=efi which uses the EFI framebuffer.
Very useful for debugging boot problems.
- EFI stub support for large memory maps (more than 128 entries)
- EFI ARM support - this was mostly done by generalizing x86 <-> ARM
platform differences, such as by moving x86 EFI code into
drivers/firmware/efi/ and sharing it with ARM.
- Documentation updates
- misc fixes"

efi: Enforce minimum alignment of 1 page on allocations.
efi: Rename memory allocation/free functions
efi: Add system table pointer argument to shared functions.
efi: Move common EFI stub code from x86 arch code to common location
...
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.

Pull x86 microcode loading update from Peter Anvin:
"This patchset lets us update the CPU microcode very, very early in
initialization if the BIOS fails to do so (never happens, right?)
This is handy for dealing with things like the Atom erratum where we
have to run without PSE because microcode loading happens too late.
As I mentioned in the x86/mm push request it depends on that
infrastructure but it is otherwise a standalone feature."

Pull x86 mm changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is a huge set of several partly interrelated (and concurrently
developed) changes, which is why the branch history is messier than
one would like.
The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed
by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we
create initial page tables. In particular, rather than estimating how
much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that
memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we
now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" --
a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand.
This has several advantages:
1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data
very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way
early in the kernel startup).
2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked
from above the 4 GB limit. This allows kdump to work on very large
systems.
3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's
equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created
by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks.
The patch series also gets us a bit closer to W^X.
Additional work in this pull is the 64-bit get_user() work which you
were also involved with, and a bunch of cleanups/speedups to
__phys_addr()/__pa()."

Define the 2.12 bzImage boot protocol: add xloadflags and additional
fields to allow the command line, initramfs and struct boot_params to
live above the 4 GiB mark.
The xloadflags now communicates if this is a 64-bit kernel with the
legacy 64-bit entry point and which of the EFI handover entry points
are supported.
Avoid adding new read flags to loadflags because of claimed
bootloaders testing the whole byte for == 1 to determine bzImageness
at least until the issue can be researched further.
This is based on patches by Yinghai Lu and David Woodhouse.
