David Howells c0522b6cc1 UAPI: x86: Fix insn_sanity build failure after UAPI split
Fix a build failure in the x86 insn_sanity program after the UAPI split.  The
problem is that insn_sanity.c #includes arch/x86/lib/insn.c - which uses the
kernel string header.  This leads to conflicts for various definitions against
the /usr/include/ headers.

linux/string.h can be replaced with the normal userspace string.h if __KERNEL__
is not specified.

H. Peter Anvin 63bcff2a30 x86, smap: Add STAC and CLAC instructions to control user space access
When Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is enabled, access to
userspace from the kernel is controlled by the AC flag.  To make the
performance of manipulating that flag acceptable, there are two new
instructions, STAC and CLAC, to set and clear it.

This patch adds those instructions, via alternative(), when the SMAP
feature is enabled.  It also adds X86_EFLAGS_AC unconditionally to the
SYSCALL entry mask; there is simply no reason to make that one
conditional.

Stephane Eranian 25f4298582 perf/x86: Fix broken LBR fixup code
I noticed that the LBR fixups were not working anymore
on programs where they used to. I tracked this down to
a recent change to copy_from_user_nmi():

 db0dc75d64 ("perf/x86: Check user address explicitly in copy_from_user_nmi()")

This commit added a call to __range_not_ok() to the
copy_from_user_nmi() routine. The problem is that the logic
of the test must be reversed. __range_not_ok() returns 0 if the
range is VALID. We want to return early from copy_from_user_nmi()
if the range is NOT valid.

Masami Hiramatsu 436d03faf6 x86/decoder: Fix bsr/bsf/jmpe decoding with operand-size prefix
Fix the x86 instruction decoder to decode bsr/bsf/jmpe with
operand-size prefix (66h). This fixes the test case failure
reported by Linus, attached below.

bsf/bsr/jmpe have a special encoding. Opcode map in
Intel Software Developers Manual vol2 says they have
TZCNT/LZCNT variants if it has F3h prefix. However, there
is no information if it has other 66h or F2h prefixes.
Current instruction decoder supposes that those are
bad instructions, but it actually accepts at least
operand-size prefixes.

H. Peter Anvin further explains:

 " TZCNT/LZCNT are F3 + BSF/BSR exactly because the F2 and
   F3 prefixes have historically been no-ops with most instructions.
   This allows software to unconditionally use the prefixed versions
   and get TZCNT/LZCNT on the processors that have them if they don't
   care about the difference. "

This fixes errors reported by test_get_len:

Linus Torvalds 4ae73f2d53 x86: use generic strncpy_from_user routine
The generic strncpy_from_user() is not really optimal, since it is
designed to work on both little-endian and big-endian.  And on
little-endian you can simplify much of the logic to find the first zero
byte, since little-endian arithmetic doesn't have to worry about the
carry bit propagating into earlier bytes (only later bytes, which we
don't care about).

But I have patches to make the generic routines use the architecture-
specific <asm/word-at-a-time.h> infrastructure, so that we can regain
the little-endian optimizations.  But before we do that, switch over to
the generic routines to make the patches each do just one well-defined
thing.

Linus Torvalds 269af9a1a0 Merge branch 'x86-extable-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull exception table generation updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change here is to allow the build-time sorting of the
  exception table, to speed up booting.  This is achieved by the
  architecture enabling BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT.  This option is enabled
  for x86 and MIPS currently.

  On x86 a number of fixes and changes were needed to allow build-time
  sorting of the exception table, in particular a relocation invariant
  exception table format was needed.  This required the abstracting out
  of exception table protocol and the removal of 20 years of accumulated
  assumptions about the x86 exception table format.

  While at it, this tree also cleans up various other aspects of
  exception handling, such as early(er) exception handling for
  rdmsr_safe() et al.

  All in one, as the result of these changes the x86 exception code is
  now pretty nice and modern.  As an added bonus any regressions in this
  code will be early and violent crashes, so if you see any of those,
  you'll know whom to blame!"

Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/{mips,x86}/Kconfig files due to nearby
modifications of other core architecture options.

Linus Torvalds 0749708352 x86: make word-at-a-time strncpy_from_user clear bytes at the end
This makes the newly optimized x86 strncpy_from_user clear the final
bytes in the word past the final NUL character, rather than copy them as
the word they were in the source.

NOTE! Unlike the silly semantics of the libc 'strncpy()' function, the
kernel strncpy_from_user() has never cleared all of the end of the
destination buffer.  And neither does it do so now: it only clears the
bytes at the end of the last word it copied.

So why make this change at all? It doesn't really cost us anything extra
(we have to calculate the mask to get the length anyway), and it means
that *if* any user actually cares about zeroing the whole buffer, they
can do a "memset()" before the strncpy_from_user(), and we will no
longer write random bytes after the NUL character.

In particular, the buffer contents will now at no point contain random
source data from beyond the end of the string.

In other words, it makes behavior a bit more repeatable at no new cost,
so it's a small cleanup.  I've been carrying this as a patch for the
last few weeks or so in my tree (done at the same time the sign error
was fixed in commit 12e993b894), I might as well commit it.

Linus Torvalds 12e993b894 x86-32: fix up strncpy_from_user() sign error
The 'max' range needs to be unsigned, since the size of the user address
space is bigger than 2GB.

We know that 'count' is positive in 'long' (that is checked in the
caller), so we will truncate 'max' down to something that fits in a
signed long, but before we actually do that, that comparison needs to be
done in unsigned.

Bug introduced in commit 92ae03f2ef ("x86: merge 32/64-bit versions of
'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up").  On x86-64 you can't trigger
this, since the user address space is much smaller than 63 bits, and on
x86-32 it works in practice, since you would seldom hit the strncpy
limits anyway.

I had actually tested the corner-cases, I had only tested them on
x86-64.  Besides, I had only worried about the case of a pointer *close*
to the end of the address space, rather than really far away from it ;)

This also changes the "we hit the user-specified maximum" to return
'res', for the trivial reason that gcc seems to generate better code
that way.  'res' and 'count' are the same in that case, so it really
doesn't matter which one we return.

Linus Torvalds 92ae03f2ef x86: merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up
This merges the 32- and 64-bit versions of the x86 strncpy_from_user()
by just rewriting it in C rather than the ancient inline asm versions
that used lodsb/stosb and had been duplicated for (trivial) differences
between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

While doing that, it also speeds them up by doing the accesses a word at
a time.  Finally, the new routines also properly handle the case of
hitting the end of the address space, which we have never done correctly
before (fs/namei.c has a hack around it for that reason).

Despite all these improvements, it actually removes more lines than it
adds, due to the de-duplication.  Also, we no longer export (or define)
the legacy __strncpy_from_user() function (that was defined to not do
the user permission checks), since it's not actually used anywhere, and
the user address space checks are built in to the new code.

Other architecture maintainers have been notified that the old hack in
fs/namei.c will be going away in the 3.5 merge window, in case they
copied the x86 approach of being a bit cavalier about the end of the
address space.

Thomas Gleixner a7f4255f90 x86: Derandom delay_tsc for 64 bit
Commit f0fbf0abc0 ("x86: integrate delay functions") converted
delay_tsc() into a random delay generator for 64 bit.  The reason is
that it merged the mostly identical versions of delay_32.c and
delay_64.c.  Though the subtle difference of the result was:

 static void delay_tsc(unsigned long loops)
 {
-	unsigned bclock, now;
+	unsigned long bclock, now;

Now the function uses rdtscl() which returns the lower 32bit of the
TSC. On 32bit that's not problematic as unsigned long is 32bit. On 64
bit this fails when the lower 32bit are close to wrap around when
bclock is read, because the following check

       if ((now - bclock) >= loops)
       	  	break;

evaluated to true on 64bit for e.g. bclock = 0xffffffff and now = 0
because the unsigned long (now - bclock) of these values results in
0xffffffff00000001 which is definitely larger than the loops
value. That explains Tvortkos observation:

"Because I am seeing udelay(500) (_occasionally_) being short, and
 that by delaying for some duration between 0us (yep) and 491us."

Make those variables explicitely u32 again, so this works for both 32
and 64 bit.

Jan Beulich cb8095bba6 x86: atomic64 assembly improvements
In the "xchg" implementation, %ebx and %ecx don't need to be copied
into %eax and %edx respectively (this is only necessary when desiring
to only read the stored value).

In the "add_unless" implementation, swapping the use of %ecx and %esi
for passing arguments allows %esi to become an input only (i.e.
permitting the register to be re-used to address the same object
without reload).

In "{add,sub}_return", doing the initial read64 through the passed in
%ecx decreases a register dependency.

In "inc_not_zero", a branch can be eliminated by or-ing together the
two halves of the current (64-bit) value, and code size can be further
reduced by adjusting the arithmetic slightly.

v2: Undo the folding of "xchg" and "set".

Jan Beulich 819165fb34 x86: Adjust asm constraints in atomic64 wrappers
Eric pointed out overly restrictive constraints in atomic64_set(), but
there are issues throughout the file. In the cited case, %ebx and %ecx
are inputs only (don't get changed by either of the two low level
implementations). This was also the case elsewhere.

Further in many cases early-clobber indicators were missing.

Finally, the previous implementation rolled a custom alternative
instruction macro from scratch, rather than using alternative_call()
(which was introduced with the commit that the description of the
change in question actually refers to). Adjusting has the benefit of
not hiding referenced symbols from the compiler, which however requires
them to be declared not just in the exporting source file (which, as a
desirable side effect, in turn allows that exporting file to become a
real 5-line stub).

This patch does not eliminate the overly restrictive memory clobbers,
however: Doing so would occasionally make the compiler set up a second
register for accessing the memory object (to satisfy the added "m"
constraint), and it's not clear which of the two non-optimal
alternatives is better.

v2: Re-do the declaration and exporting of the internal symbols.

Masami Hiramatsu 130b78b2bf x86: Fix instruction decoder to handle grouped AVX instructions
For reducing memory usage of attribute table, x86 instruction
decoder puts "Group" attribute only on "no-last-prefix"
attribute table (same as vex_p == 0 case).

Thus, the decoder should look no-last-prefix table first, and
then only if it is not a group, move on to "with-last-prefix"
table (vex_p != 0).

However, current implementation, inat_get_avx_attribute()
looks with-last-prefix directly. So, when decoding
a grouped AVX instruction, the decoder fails to find correct
group because there is no "Group" attribute on the table.
This ends up with the mis-decoding of instructions, as Ingo
reported in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1214103

This patch fixes it to check no-last-prefix table first
even if that is an AVX instruction, and get an attribute from
"with last-prefix" table only if that is not a group.

Robert Richter 1ac2e6ca44 x86, perf: Make copy_from_user_nmi() a library function
copy_from_user_nmi() is used in oprofile and perf. Moving it to other
