Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin:
"The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support
for loading over 4 GiB that was introduced in this merge cycle. This
is partly due to a number of design problems inherent in the way the
various pieces of kdump fit together (it is pretty horrifically manual
in many places.)
After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon,
but of course it is now very late in the cycle. However, because it
changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it
would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken
interfaces."
I'm not happy with the timing, since originally the plan was to release
the final 3.9 tomorrow. But apparently I'm doing an -rc8 instead...

For each CPU vendor that implements CPU microcode patching, there will
be a minimum family for which this is implemented. Verify this
minimum level of support.
This can be done in the dispatch function or early in the application
functions. Doing the latter turned out to be somewhat awkward because
of the ineviable split between the BSP and the AP paths, and rather
than pushing deep into the application functions, do this in
the dispatch function.

Chao said that kdump does does work well on his system on 3.8
without extra parameter, even iommu does not work with kdump.
And now have to append crashkernel_low=Y in first kernel to make
kdump work.
We have now modified crashkernel=X to allocate memory beyong 4G (if
available) and do not allocate low range for crashkernel if the user
does not specify that with crashkernel_low=Y. This causes regression
if iommu is not enabled. Without iommu, swiotlb needs to be setup in
first 4G and there is no low memory available to second kernel.
Set crashkernel_low automatically if the user does not specify that.
For system that does support IOMMU with kdump properly, user could
specify crashkernel_low=0 to save that 72M low ram.
-v3: add swiotlb_size() according to Konrad.

This patch fixes the problem by correctly marking the

A distinction between desktop and server parts is introduced
because bits 24-30 are only available on the server parts.

EFI implementations distinguish between space that is actively used by a
variable and space that merely hasn't been garbage collected yet. Space
that hasn't yet been garbage collected isn't available for use and so isn't
counted in the remaining_space field returned by QueryVariableInfo().
Combined with commit 68d9298 this can cause problems. Some implementations
don't garbage collect until the remaining space is smaller than the maximum
variable size, and as a result check_var_size() will always fail once more
than 50% of the variable store has been used even if most of that space is
marked as available for garbage collection. The user is unable to create
new variables, and deleting variables doesn't increase the remaining space.
The problem that 68d9298 was attempting to avoid was one where certain
platforms fail if the actively used space is greater than 50% of the
available storage space. We should be able to calculate that by simply
summing the size of each available variable and subtracting that from
the total storage space. With luck this will fix the problem described in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55471 without permitting
damage to occur to the machines 68d9298 was attempting to fix.

EFI variables can be flagged as being accessible only within boot services.
This makes it awkward for us to figure out how much space they use at
runtime. In theory we could figure this out by simply comparing the results
from QueryVariableInfo() to the space used by all of our variables, but
that fails if the platform doesn't garbage collect on every boot. Thankfully,
calling QueryVariableInfo() while still inside boot services gives a more
reliable answer. This patch passes that information from the EFI boot stub
up to the efi platform code.

This patch attempts to fix:

The symptom is a crash and messages like this:
chrome: Corrupted page table at address 34a03000
*pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000
Bad pagetable: 000f [#1] PREEMPT SMP
Ingo guesses this got introduced by commit 611ae8e3f5 ("x86/tlb:
enable tlb flush range support for x86") since that code started to free
unused pagetables.
On x86-32 PAE kernels, that new code has the potential to free an entire
PMD page and will clear one of the four page-directory-pointer-table
(aka pgd_t entries).
The hardware aggressively "caches" these top-level entries and invlpg
does not actually affect the CPU's copy. If we clear one we *HAVE* to
do a full TLB flush, otherwise we might continue using a freed pmd page.
(note, we do this properly on the population side in pud_populate()).
This patch tracks whenever we clear one of these entries in the 'struct
mmu_gather', and ensures that we follow up with a full tlb flush.
BTW, I disassembled and checked that:
if (tlb->fullmm == 0)
and
if (!tlb->fullmm && !tlb->need_flush_all)
generate essentially the same code, so there should be zero impact there
to the !PAE case.

In paravirtualized x86_64 kernels, vmalloc_fault may cause an oops
when lazy MMU updates are enabled, because set_pgd effects are being
deferred.
One instance of this problem is during process mm cleanup with memory
cgroups enabled. The chain of events is as follows:
- zap_pte_range enables lazy MMU updates
- zap_pte_range eventually calls mem_cgroup_charge_statistics,
which accesses the vmalloc'd mem_cgroup per-cpu stat area
- vmalloc_fault is triggered which tries to sync the corresponding
PGD entry with set_pgd, but the update is deferred
- vmalloc_fault oopses due to a mismatch in the PUD entries
The OOPs usually looks as so:

Rather than adding the two files individually, take the opportunity and
add $(VMLINUX_OBJS) to "targets" instead, thus allowing the assignment
at the top of the file to be shrunk quite a bit.
At the same time, remove a pointless flags override line - the variable

Commit fca460f95e simplified the x32
implementation by creating a syscall bitmask, equal to 0x40000000, that
could be applied to x32 syscalls such that the masked syscall number
would be the same as a x86_64 syscall. While that patch was a nice
way to simplify the code, it went a bit too far by adding the mask to
syscall_get_nr(); returning the masked syscall numbers can cause
confusion with callers that expect syscall numbers matching the x32
ABI, e.g. unmasked syscall numbers.
This patch fixes this by simply removing the mask from syscall_get_nr()
while preserving the other changes from the original commit. While
there are several syscall_get_nr() callers in the kernel, most simply
check that the syscall number is greater than zero, in this case this
patch will have no effect. Of those remaining callers, they appear
to be few, seccomp and ftrace, and from my testing of seccomp without
this patch the original commit definitely breaks things; the seccomp
filter does not correctly filter the syscalls due to the difference in
syscall numbers in the BPF filter and the value from syscall_get_nr().
Applying this patch restores the seccomp BPF filter functionality on
x32.
I've tested this patch with the seccomp BPF filters as well as ftrace
and everything looks reasonable to me; needless to say general usage
seemed fine as well.

Right before try to clear the page, we make a hypercall to change

And the _RW flag is set for that page:

The error code is 3, so PFEC_page_present and PFEC_write_access, so page is
present (correct), and we tried to write to the page, but a violation
occurred. The one theory is that the the page entries in hardware
(which are cached) are not up to date with what we just set. Especially
as we have just done an CR3 write and flushed the multicalls.
This patch does solve the problem by flusing out the TLB page
entry after changing it from _RO to _RW and we don't hit this
issue anymore.

For MSI-X capable devices the hypervisor wants to write protect the
MSI-X table and PBA, yet it can't assume that resources have been
assigned to their final values at device enumeration time. Thus have
pciback do that notification, as having the device controlled by it is
a prerequisite to assigning the device to guests anyway.
This is the kernel part of hypervisor side commit 4245d33 ("x86/MSI:
add mechanism to fully protect MSI-X table from PV guest accesses") on
the master branch of git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git.

This patch fixes an uninitialized pt_regs struct in drain BTS
function. The pt_regs struct is propagated all the way to the
code_get_segment() function from perf_instruction_pointer()
and may get garbage.
We cannot simply inherit the actual pt_regs from the interrupt
because BTS must be flushed on context-switch or when the
associated event is disabled. And there we do not have a pt_regs
handy.
Setting pt_regs to all zeroes may not be the best option but it
is not clear what else to do given where the drain_bts_buffer()
is called from.
In V2, we move the memset() later in the code to avoid doing it
when we end up returning early without doing the actual BTS
processing. Also dropped the reg.val initialization because it
is redundant with the memset() as suggested by PeterZ.

(e.g. max_low_pfn) that not only hasn't been setup yet in such early
boot phase, but since we are in linear mode, cannot even be detected
as uninitialized.
Thus, use __pa_nodebug() rather than __pa_symbol() to get a global

There is a potential use after free issue with the handling of
MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME. If the guest specifies a GPA in a movable or removable
memory such as frame buffers then KVM might continue to write to that
address even after it's removed via KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION. KVM pins
the page in memory so it's unlikely to cause an issue, but if the user
space component re-purposes the memory previously used for the guest, then
the guest will be able to corrupt that memory.

If the guest sets the GPA of the time_page so that the request to update the
time straddles a page then KVM will write onto an incorrect page. The
write is done byusing kmap atomic to get a pointer to the page for the time
structure and then performing a memcpy to that page starting at an offset
that the guest controls. Well behaved guests always provide a 32-byte aligned
address, however a malicious guest could use this to corrupt host kernel
memory.

Currently kprobes check whether the copied instruction modifies
IF (interrupt flag) on each probe hit. This results not only in
introducing overhead but also involving
inat_get_opcode_attribute into the kprobes hot path, and it can
cause an infinite recursive call (and kernel panic in the end).
Actually, since the copied instruction itself can never be modified
on the buffer, it is needless to analyze the instruction on every
probe hit.
To fix this issue, we check it only once when registering probe
and store the result on ainsn->if_modifier.

Commit 1d9d8639c0 ("perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after
suspend/resume") fixed a crash when doing PEBS performance profiling
after resuming, but in using init_debug_store_on_cpu() to restore the
DS_AREA mtrr it also resulted in a new WARN_ON() triggering.
init_debug_store_on_cpu() uses "wrmsr_on_cpu()", which in turn uses CPU
cross-calls to do the MSR update. Which is not really valid at the
early resume stage, and the warning is quite reasonable. Now, it all
happens to _work_, for the simple reason that smp_call_function_single()
ends up just doing the call directly on the CPU when the CPU number
matches, but we really should just do the wrmsr() directly instead.
This duplicates the wrmsr() logic, but hopefully we can just remove the
wrmsr_on_cpu() version eventually.

This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS)
after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked
on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly
by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS
measurement to crash when running on CPU0.
The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore
the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0,
the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.
