[ Upstream commit aa5cacdc29d76a005cbbee018a47faa6e724dd2d ]

The CRn accessor functions use __force_order as a dummy operand to
prevent the compiler from reordering CRn reads/writes with respect to
each other.

The fact that the asm is volatile should be enough to prevent this:
volatile asm statements should be executed in program order. However GCC
4.9.x and 5.x have a bug that might result in reordering. This was fixed
in 8.1, 7.3 and 6.5. Versions prior to these, including 5.x and 4.9.x,
may reorder volatile asm statements with respect to each other.

There are some issues with __force_order as implemented:
- It is used only as an input operand for the write functions, and hence
  doesn't do anything additional to prevent reordering writes.
- It allows memory accesses to be cached/reordered across write
  functions, but CRn writes affect the semantics of memory accesses, so
  this could be dangerous.
- __force_order is not actually defined in the kernel proper, but the
  LLVM toolchain can in some cases require a definition: LLVM (as well
  as GCC 4.9) requires it for PIE code, which is why the compressed
  kernel has a definition, but also the clang integrated assembler may
  consider the address of __force_order to be significant, resulting in
  a reference that requires a definition.

Fix this by:
- Using a memory clobber for the write functions to additionally prevent
  caching/reordering memory accesses across CRn writes.
- Using a dummy input operand with an arbitrary constant address for the
  read functions, instead of a global variable. This will prevent reads
  from being reordered across writes, while allowing memory loads to be
  cached/reordered across CRn reads, which should be safe.

<title>x86/boot/compressed: Disable relocation relaxation</title>

<id>urn:sha1:864744288911b58d1af3eb4c8419773da9733c91</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 09e43968db40c33a73e9ddbfd937f46d5c334924 upstream.

The x86-64 psABI [0] specifies special relocation types
(R_X86_64_[REX_]GOTPCRELX) for indirection through the Global Offset
Table, semantically equivalent to R_X86_64_GOTPCREL, which the linker
can take advantage of for optimization (relaxation) at link time. This
is supported by LLD and binutils versions 2.26 onwards.

The compressed kernel is position-independent code, however, when using
LLD or binutils versions before 2.27, it must be linked without the -pie
option. In this case, the linker may optimize certain instructions into
a non-position-independent form, by converting foo@GOTPCREL(%rip) to $foo.

This potential issue has been present with LLD and binutils-2.26 for a
long time, but it has never manifested itself before now:

- LLD and binutils-2.26 only relax
	movq	foo@GOTPCREL(%rip), %reg
  to
	leaq	foo(%rip), %reg
  which is still position-independent, rather than
	mov	$foo, %reg
  which is permitted by the psABI when -pie is not enabled.

- GCC happens to only generate GOTPCREL relocations on mov instructions.

- CLang does generate GOTPCREL relocations on non-mov instructions, but
  when building the compressed kernel, it uses its integrated assembler
  (due to the redefinition of KBUILD_CFLAGS dropping -no-integrated-as),
  which has so far defaulted to not generating the GOTPCRELX
  relocations.

Nick Desaulniers reports [1,2]:

  "A recent change [3] to a default value of configuration variable
   (ENABLE_X86_RELAX_RELOCATIONS OFF -&gt; ON) in LLVM now causes Clang's
   integrated assembler to emit R_X86_64_GOTPCRELX/R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX
   relocations. LLD will relax instructions with these relocations based
   on whether the image is being linked as position independent or not.
   When not, then LLD will relax these instructions to use absolute
   addressing mode (R_RELAX_GOT_PC_NOPIC). This causes kernels built with
   Clang and linked with LLD to fail to boot."

Patch series [4] is a solution to allow the compressed kernel to be
linked with -pie unconditionally, but even if merged is unlikely to be
backported. As a simple solution that can be applied to stable as well,
prevent the assembler from generating the relaxed relocation types using
the -mrelax-relocations=no option. For ease of backporting, do this
unconditionally.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A pile of fixes for x86:

   - Fix the I/O bitmap invalidation on XEN PV, which was overlooked in
     the recent ioperm/iopl rework. This caused the TSS and XEN's I/O
     bitmap to get out of sync.

   - Use the proper vectors for HYPERV.

   - Make disabling of stack protector for the entry code work with GCC
     builds which enable stack protector by default. Removing the option
     is not sufficient, it needs an explicit -fno-stack-protector to
     shut it off.

   - Mark check_user_regs() noinstr as it is called from noinstr code.
     The missing annotation causes it to be placed in the text section
     which makes it instrumentable.

   - Add the missing interrupt disable in exc_alignment_check()

   - Fixup a XEN_PV build dependency in the 32bit entry code

   - A few fixes to make the Clang integrated assembler happy

   - Move EFI stub build to the right place for out of tree builds

   - Make prepare_exit_to_usermode() static. It's not longer called from
     ASM code"

vmlinux-objs-y is added to targets, which currently means that the EFI
stub gets added to the targets as well. It shouldn't be added since it
is built elsewhere.

This confuses Makefile.build which interprets the EFI stub as a target
	$(obj)/$(objtree)/drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib.a
and will create drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/ underneath
arch/x86/boot/compressed, to hold this supposed target, if building
out-of-tree. [0]

Fix this by pulling the stub out of vmlinux-objs-y into efi-obj-y.

[0] See scripts/Makefile.build near the end:
    # Create directories for object files if they do not exist

Commit

  17054f492dfd ("efi/x86: Implement mixed mode boot without the handover protocol")

introduced a new entry point for the EFI stub to be booted in mixed mode
on 32-bit firmware.

When entered via efi32_pe_entry, control is first transferred to
startup_32 to setup for the switch to long mode, and then the EFI stub
proper is entered via efi_pe_entry. efi_pe_entry is an MS ABI function,
and the ABI requires 32 bytes of shadow stack space to be allocated by
the caller, as well as the stack being aligned to 8 mod 16 on entry.

Allocate 40 bytes on the stack before switching to 64-bit mode when
calling efi_pe_entry to account for this.

For robustness, explicitly align boot_stack_end to 16 bytes. It is
currently implicitly aligned since .bss is cacheline-size aligned,
head_64.o is the first object file with a .bss section, and the heap and
boot sizes are aligned.

The include/linux/pgtable.h is going to be the home of generic page table
manipulation functions.

Start with moving asm-generic/pgtable.h to include/linux/pgtable.h and
make the latter include asm/pgtable.h.
