Pull iov_iter updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contain's David's iov_iter cleanup work to convert the iov_iter
iteration macros to inline functions:
- Remove last_offset from iov_iter as it was only used by ITER_PIPE
- Add a __user tag on copy_mc_to_user()'s dst argument on x86 to
match that on powerpc and get rid of a sparse warning
- Convert iter->user_backed to user_backed_iter() in the sound PCM
driver
- Convert iter->user_backed to user_backed_iter() in a couple of
infiniband drivers
- Renumber the type enum so that the ITER_* constants match the order
in iterate_and_advance*()
- Since the preceding patch puts UBUF and IOVEC at 0 and 1, change
user_backed_iter() to just use the type value and get rid of the
extra flag
- Convert the iov_iter iteration macros to always-inline functions to
make the code easier to follow. It uses function pointers, but they
get optimised away
- Move the check for ->copy_mc to _copy_from_iter() and
copy_page_from_iter_atomic() rather than in memcpy_from_iter_mc()
where it gets repeated for every segment. Instead, we check once
and invoke a side function that can use iterate_bvec() rather than
iterate_and_advance() and supply a different step function
- Move the copy-and-csum code to net/ where it can be in proximity
with the code that uses it
- Fold memcpy_and_csum() in to its two users
- Move csum_and_copy_from_iter_full() out of line and merge in
csum_and_copy_from_iter() since the former is the only caller of
the latter
- Move hash_and_copy_to_iter() to net/ where it can be with its only
caller"

After a lot of experimenting (see thread Link points to) document for
now the issues and requirements for future improvements to the thunk
handling and potential issuing of a diagnostic when the default thunk
hasn't been patched out.
This documentation is only temporary and that close before the merge
window it is only a placeholder for those future improvements.

CONFIG_RETHUNK, CONFIG_CPU_UNRET_ENTRY and CONFIG_CPU_SRSO are all
tangled up. De-spaghettify the code a bit.
Some of the rethunk-related code has been shuffled around within the
'.text..__x86.return_thunk' section, but otherwise there are no
functional changes. srso_alias_untrain_ret() and srso_alias_safe_ret()
((which are very address-sensitive) haven't moved.

Header cleanups in the fast-headers tree highlighted that we have an
unused assembly implementation for __sw_hweight64():
WARNING: modpost: EXPORT symbol "__sw_hweight64" [vmlinux] version ...
__arch_hweight64() on x86-32 is defined in the
arch/x86/include/asm/arch_hweight.h header as an inline, using
__arch_hweight32():
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32
static inline unsigned long __arch_hweight64(__u64 w)
{
return __arch_hweight32((u32)w) +
__arch_hweight32((u32)(w >> 32));
}
*But* there's also a __sw_hweight64() assembly implementation:
arch/x86/lib/hweight.S
SYM_FUNC_START(__sw_hweight64)
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
...
#else /* CONFIG_X86_32 */
/* We're getting an u64 arg in (%eax,%edx): unsigned long hweight64(__u64 w) */
pushl %ecx
call __sw_hweight32
movl %eax, %ecx # stash away result
movl %edx, %eax # second part of input
call __sw_hweight32
addl %ecx, %eax # result
popl %ecx
ret
#endif
But this __sw_hweight64 assembly implementation is unused - and it's
essentially doing the same thing that the inline wrapper does.
Remove the assembly version and add a comment about it.

Intel CPUs ship with ERMS for over a decade, but this is not true for
AMD. In particular one reasonably recent uarch (EPYC 7R13) does not
have it (or at least the bit is inactive when running on the Amazon EC2
cloud -- I found rather conflicting information about AMD CPUs vs the
extension).
Hand-rolled mov loops executing in this case are quite pessimal compared
to rep movsq for bigger sizes. While the upper limit depends on uarch,
everyone is well south of 1KB AFAICS and sizes bigger than that are
common.
While technically ancient CPUs may be suffering from rep usage, gcc has
been emitting it for years all over kernel code, so I don't think this
is a legitimate concern.
Sample result from read1_processes from will-it-scale (4KB reads/s):
before: 1507021
after: 1721828 (+14%)
Note that the cutoff point for rep usage is set to 64 bytes, which is
way too conservative but I'm sticking to what was done in 47ee3f1dd93b
("x86: re-introduce support for ERMS copies for user space accesses").
That is to say *some* copies will now go slower, which is fixable but
beyond the scope of this patch.

Use the existing configurable return thunk. There is absolute no
justification for having created this __x86_return_thunk alternative.
To clarify, the whole thing looks like:
Zen3/4 does:
srso_alias_untrain_ret:
nop2
lfence
jmp srso_alias_return_thunk
int3
srso_alias_safe_ret: // aliasses srso_alias_untrain_ret just so
add $8, %rsp
ret
int3
srso_alias_return_thunk:
call srso_alias_safe_ret
ud2
While Zen1/2 does:
srso_untrain_ret:
movabs $foo, %rax
lfence
call srso_safe_ret (jmp srso_return_thunk ?)
int3
srso_safe_ret: // embedded in movabs instruction
add $8,%rsp
ret
int3
srso_return_thunk:
call srso_safe_ret
ud2
While retbleed does:
zen_untrain_ret:
test $0xcc, %bl
lfence
jmp zen_return_thunk
int3
zen_return_thunk: // embedded in the test instruction
ret
int3
Where Zen1/2 flush the BTB entry using the instruction decoder trick
(test,movabs) Zen3/4 use BTB aliasing. SRSO adds a return sequence
(srso_safe_ret()) which forces the function return instruction to
speculate into a trap (UD2). This RET will then mispredict and
execution will continue at the return site read from the top of the
stack.
Pick one of three options at boot (evey function can only ever return
once).
[ bp: Fixup commit message uarch details and add them in a comment in
the code too. Add a comment about the srso_select_mitigation()
dependency on retbleed_select_mitigation(). Add moar ifdeffery for
32-bit builds. Add a dummy srso_untrain_ret_alias() definition for
32-bit alternatives needing the symbol. ]

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __x86_return_thunk() falls through to next function __x86_return_skl()
This is because these functions (can) end with CALL, which objtool
does not consider a terminating instruction. Therefore, replace the
INT3 instruction (which is a non-fatal trap) with UD2 (which is a
fatal-trap).
This indicates execution will not continue past this point.

The linker script arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S matches the thunk
sections ".text.__x86.*" from arch/x86/lib/retpoline.S as follows:
.text {
[...]
TEXT_TEXT
[...]
__indirect_thunk_start = .;
*(.text.__x86.*)
__indirect_thunk_end = .;
[...]
}
Macro TEXT_TEXT references TEXT_MAIN which normally expands to only
".text". However, with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, TEXT_MAIN becomes
".text .text.[0-9a-zA-Z_]*" which wrongly matches also the thunk
sections. The output layout is then different than expected. For
instance, the currently defined range [__indirect_thunk_start,
__indirect_thunk_end] becomes empty.
Prevent the problem by using ".." as the first separator, for example,
".text..__x86.indirect_thunk". This pattern is utilized by other
explicit section names which start with one of the standard prefixes,
such as ".text" or ".data", and that need to be individually selected in
the linker script.

Use LEA instead of ADD when adjusting %rsp in srso_safe_ret{,_alias}()
so as to avoid clobbering flags. Drop one of the INT3 instructions to
account for the LEA consuming one more byte than the ADD.
KVM's emulator makes indirect calls into a jump table of sorts, where
the destination of each call is a small blob of code that performs fast
emulation by executing the target instruction with fixed operands.
E.g. to emulate ADC, fastop() invokes adcb_al_dl():
adcb_al_dl:
<+0>: adc %dl,%al
<+2>: jmp <__x86_return_thunk>
A major motivation for doing fast emulation is to leverage the CPU to
handle consumption and manipulation of arithmetic flags, i.e. RFLAGS is
both an input and output to the target of the call. fastop() collects
the RFLAGS result by pushing RFLAGS onto the stack and popping them back
into a variable (held in %rdi in this case):
asm("push %[flags]; popf; " CALL_NOSPEC " ; pushf; pop %[flags]\n"
<+71>: mov 0xc0(%r8),%rdx
<+78>: mov 0x100(%r8),%rcx
<+85>: push %rdi
<+86>: popf
<+87>: call *%rsi
<+89>: nop
<+90>: nop
<+91>: nop
<+92>: pushf
<+93>: pop %rdi
and then propagating the arithmetic flags into the vCPU's emulator state:
ctxt->eflags = (ctxt->eflags & ~EFLAGS_MASK) | (flags & EFLAGS_MASK);
<+64>: and $0xfffffffffffff72a,%r9
<+94>: and $0x8d5,%edi
<+109>: or %rdi,%r9
<+122>: mov %r9,0x10(%r8)
The failures can be most easily reproduced by running the "emulator"
test in KVM-Unit-Tests.
If you're feeling a bit of deja vu, see commit b63f20a778c8
("x86/retpoline: Don't clobber RFLAGS during CALL_NOSPEC on i386").
In addition, this breaks booting of clang-compiled guest on

Add a mitigation for the speculative return address stack overflow
vulnerability found on AMD processors.
The mitigation works by ensuring all RET instructions speculate to
a controlled location, similar to how speculation is controlled in the
retpoline sequence. To accomplish this, the __x86_return_thunk forces
the CPU to mispredict every function return using a 'safe return'
sequence.
To ensure the safety of this mitigation, the kernel must ensure that the
safe return sequence is itself free from attacker interference. In Zen3
and Zen4, this is accomplished by creating a BTB alias between the
untraining function srso_untrain_ret_alias() and the safe return
function srso_safe_ret_alias() which results in evicting a potentially
poisoned BTB entry and using that safe one for all function returns.
In older Zen1 and Zen2, this is accomplished using a reinterpretation
technique similar to Retbleed one: srso_untrain_ret() and
srso_safe_ret().

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Introduce cmpxchg128() -- aka. the demise of cmpxchg_double()
The cmpxchg128() family of functions is basically & functionally the
same as cmpxchg_double(), but with a saner interface.
Instead of a 6-parameter horror that forced u128 - u64/u64-halves
layout details on the interface and exposed users to complexity,
fragility & bugs, use a natural 3-parameter interface with u128
types.
- Restructure the generated atomic headers, and add kerneldoc comments
for all of the generic atomic{,64,_long}_t operations.
The generated definitions are much cleaner now, and come with
documentation.
- Implement lock_set_cmp_fn() on lockdep, for defining an ordering when
taking multiple locks of the same type.
This gets rid of one use of lockdep_set_novalidate_class() in the
bcache code.
- Fix raw_cpu_generic_try_cmpxchg() bug due to an unintended variable
shadowing generating garbage code on Clang on certain ARM builds.

The .L-prefixed exception handling symbols of get_user() and put_user()
do get discarded from the symbol table of the final kernel image.
This confuses tools which parse that symbol table and try to map the
chunk of code to a symbol. And, in general, from toolchain perspective,
it is a good practice to have all code belong to a symbol, and the
correct one at that.
( Currently, objdump displays that exception handling chunk as part
of the previous symbol which is a "fallback" of sorts and not
correct. )
While at it, rename them to something more descriptive.

I tried to streamline our user memory copy code fairly aggressively in
commit adfcf4231b8c ("x86: don't use REP_GOOD or ERMS for user memory
copies"), in order to then be able to clean up the code and inline the
modern FSRM case in commit 577e6a7fd50d ("x86: inline the 'rep movs' in
user copies for the FSRM case").
We had reports [1] of that causing regressions earlier with blogbench,
but that turned out to be a horrible benchmark for that case, and not a
sufficient reason for re-instating "rep movsb" on older machines.
However, now Eric Dumazet reported [2] a regression in performance that
seems to be a rather more real benchmark, where due to the removal of
"rep movs" a TCP stream over a 100Gbps network no longer reaches line
speed.
And it turns out that with the simplified the calling convention for the
non-FSRM case in commit 427fda2c8a49 ("x86: improve on the non-rep
'copy_user' function"), re-introducing the ERMS case is actually fairly
simple.
Of course, that "fairly simple" is glossing over several missteps due to
having to fight our assembler alternative code. This code really wanted
to rewrite a conditional branch to have two different targets, but that
made objtool sufficiently unhappy that this instead just ended up doing
a choice between "jump to the unrolled loop, or use 'rep movsb'
directly".
Let's see if somebody finds a case where the kernel memory copies also
care (see commit 68674f94ffc9: "x86: don't use REP_GOOD or ERMS for
small memory copies"). But Eric does argue that the user copies are
special because networking tries to copy up to 32KB at a time, if
order-3 pages allocations are possible.
In-kernel memory copies are typically small, unless they are the special
"copy pages at a time" kind that still use "rep movs".

1) Add special case for len == 40 as that is the hottest value. The
nets a ~8-9% latency improvement and a ~30% throughput improvement
in the len == 40 case.
2) Use multiple accumulators in the 64-byte loop. This dramatically
improves ILP and results in up to a 40% latency/throughput
improvement (better for more iterations).

There is no such thing as a free lunch, however, and the special case
for len == 40 does add overhead to the len != 40 cases. This seems to
amount to be ~5% throughput and slightly less in terms of latency.
Testing:
Part of this change is a new kunit test. The tests check all
alignment X length pairs in [0, 64) X [0, 512).
There are three cases.
1) Precomputed random inputs/seed. The expected results where
generated use the generic implementation (which is assumed to be
non-buggy).
2) An input of all 1s. The goal of this test is to catch any case
a carry is missing.
3) An input that never carries. The goal of this test si to catch
any case of incorrectly carrying.
More exhaustive tests that test all alignment X length pairs in
[0, 8192) X [0, 8192] on random data are also available here:

Up until now it was perceived that FSRM is an improvement to ERMS and
thus it was made dependent on latter.
However, there are AMD BIOSes out there which allow for disabling of
either features and thus preventing kernels from booting due to the CMP
disappearing and thus breaking the logic in the memmove() function.
Similar observation happens on some VM migration scenarios.
Patch the proper sequences depending on which feature is enabled.

I didn't really want to do this, but as part of all the other changes to
the user copy loops, I've been looking at this horror.
I tried to clean it up multiple times, but every time I just found more
problems, and the way it's written, it's just too hard to fix them.
For example, the code is written to do quad-word alignment, and will use
regular byte accesses to get to that point. That's fairly simple, but
it means that any initial 8-byte alignment will be done with cached
copies.
However, the code then is very careful to do any 4-byte _tail_ accesses
using an uncached 4-byte write, and that was claimed to be relevant in
commit a82eee742452 ("x86/uaccess/64: Handle the caching of 4-byte
nocache copies properly in __copy_user_nocache()").
So if you do a 4-byte copy using that function, it carefully uses a
4-byte 'movnti' for the destination. But if you were to do a 12-byte
copy that is 4-byte aligned, it would _not_ do a 4-byte 'movnti'
followed by a 8-byte 'movnti' to keep it all uncached.
Instead, it would align the destination to 8 bytes using a
byte-at-a-time loop, and then do a 8-byte 'movnti' for the final 8
bytes.
The main caller that cares is __copy_user_flushcache(), which knows
about this insanity, and has odd cases for it all. But I just can't
deal with looking at this kind of "it does one case right, and another
related case entirely wrong".
And the code really wasn't fixable without hard drugs, which I try to
avoid.
So instead, rewrite it in a form that hopefully not only gets this
right, but is a bit more maintainable. Knock wood.

Every caller passes in zero, meaning they don't want any partial copy to
zero the remainder of the destination buffer.
Which is just as well, because the implementation of that function
didn't actually even look at that argument, and wasn't even aware it
existed, although some misleading comments did mention it still.
The 'zerorest' thing is a historical artifact of how "copy_from_user()"
worked, in that it would zero the rest of the kernel buffer that it
copied into.
That zeroing still exists, but it's long since been moved to generic
code, and the raw architecture-specific code doesn't do it. See
_copy_from_user() in lib/usercopy.c for this all.
However, while __copy_user_nocache() shares some history and superficial
other similarities with copy_from_user(), it is in many ways also very
different.
In particular, while the code makes it *look* similar to the generic
user copy functions that can copy both to and from user space, and take
faults on both reads and writes as a result, __copy_user_nocache() does
no such thing at all.
__copy_user_nocache() always copies to kernel space, and will never take
a page fault on the destination. What *can* happen, though, is that the
non-temporal stores take a machine check because one of the use cases is
for writing to stable memory, and any memory errors would then take
synchronous faults.
So __copy_user_nocache() does look a lot like copy_from_user(), but has
faulting behavior that is more akin to our old copy_in_user() (which no
longer exists, but copied from user space to user space and could fault
on both source and destination).
And it very much does not have the "zero the end of the destination
buffer", since a problem with the destination buffer is very possibly
the very source of the partial copy.
So this whole thing was just a confusing historical artifact from having
shared some code with a completely different function with completely
different use cases.

The old 'copy_user_generic_unrolled' function was oddly implemented for
largely historical reasons: it had been largely based on the uncached
copy case, which has some other concerns.
For example, the __copy_user_nocache() function uses 'movnti' for the
destination stores, and those want the destination to be aligned. In
contrast, the regular copy function doesn't really care, and trying to
align things only complicates matters.
Also, like the clear_user function, the copy function had some odd
handling of the repeat counts, complicating the exception handling for
no really good reason. So as with clear_user, just write it to keep all
the byte counts in the %rcx register, exactly like the 'rep movs'
functionality that this replaces.
Unlike a real 'rep movs', we do allow for this to trash a few temporary
registers to not have to unnecessarily save/restore registers on the
stack.
And like the clearing case, rename this to what it now clearly is:
'rep_movs_alternative', and make it one coherent function, so that it
shows up as such in profiles (instead of the odd split between
"copy_user_generic_unrolled" and "copy_user_short_string", the latter of
which was not about strings at all, and which was shared with the
uncached case).

The old version was oddly written to have the repeat count in multiple
registers. So instead of taking advantage of %rax being zero, it had
some sub-counts in it. All just for a "single word clearing" loop,
which isn't even efficient to begin with.
So get rid of those games, and just keep all the state in the same
registers we got it in (and that we should return things in). That not
only makes this act much more like 'rep stos' (which this function is
replacing), but makes it much easier to actually do the obvious loop
unrolling.
Also rename the function from the now nonsensical 'clear_user_original'
to what it now clearly is: 'rep_stos_alternative'.
End result: if we don't have a fast 'rep stosb', at least we can have a
fast fallback for it.
