We still can end up with a stale vector due to the following:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
lock_vector()
data->move_in_progress=0
sendIPI()
unlock_vector()
set_affinity()
assign_irq_vector()
lock_vector() handle_IPI
move_in_progress = 1 lock_vector()
unlock_vector()
move_in_progress == 1
So we need to serialize the vector assignment against a pending cleanup. The
solution is rather simple now. We not only check for the move_in_progress flag
in assign_irq_vector(), we also check whether there is still a cleanup pending
in the old_domain cpumask. If so, we return -EBUSY to the caller and let him
deal with it. Though we have to be careful in the cpu unplug case. If the
cleanout has not yet completed then the following setaffinity() call would
return -EBUSY. Add code which prevents this.

send_cleanup_vector() fiddles with the old_domain mask unprotected because it
relies on the protection by the move_in_progress flag. But this is fatal, as
the flag is reset after the IPI has been sent. So a cpu which receives the IPI
can still see the flag set and therefor ignores the cleanup request. If no
other cleanup request happens then the vector stays stale on that cpu and in
case of an irq removal the vector still persists. That can lead to use after
free when the next cleanup IPI happens.
Protect the code with vector_lock and clear move_in_progress before sending
the IPI.
This does not plug the race which Joe reported because:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
lock_vector()
data->move_in_progress=0
sendIPI()
unlock_vector()
set_affinity()
assign_irq_vector()
lock_vector() handle_IPI
move_in_progress = 1 lock_vector()
unlock_vector()
move_in_progress == 1
The full fix comes with a later patch.

__assign_irq_vector() uses the vector_cpumask which is assigned by
apic->vector_allocation_domain() without doing basic sanity checks. That can
result in a situation where the final assignement of a newly found vector
fails in apic->cpu_mask_to_apicid_and(). So we have to do rollbacks for no
reason.
apic->cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() only fails if
vector_cpumask & requested_cpumask & cpu_online_mask
is empty.
Check for this condition right away and if the result is empty try immediately
the next possible cpu in the requested mask. So in case of a failure the old
setting is unchanged and we can remove the rollback code.

There's a race condition between
x86_vector_free_irqs()
{
free_apic_chip_data(irq_data->chip_data);
xxxxx //irq_data->chip_data has been freed, but the pointer
//hasn't been reset yet
irq_domain_reset_irq_data(irq_data);
}
and
smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt()
{
raw_spin_lock(&vector_lock);
data = apic_chip_data(irq_desc_get_irq_data(desc));
access data->xxxx // may access freed memory
raw_spin_unlock(&desc->lock);
}
which may cause smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() to access freed memory.
Call irq_domain_reset_irq_data(), which clears the pointer with vector lock
held.

Pavel noted that lguest maps the switcher code executable and
read-write. This is a bad idea for any kernel text, but
particularly for text mapped at a fixed address.
Create two vmas, one for the text (PAGE_KERNEL_RX) and another
for the stacks (PAGE_KERNEL). Use VM_NO_GUARD to map them
adjacent (as expected by the rest of the code).

When "eagerfpu=off" is given as a command-line input, the kernel
should disable AVX support.
The Task Switched bit used for lazy context switching does not
support AVX. If AVX is enabled without eagerfpu context
switching, one task's AVX state could become corrupted or leak
to other tasks. This is a bug and has bad security implications.
This only affects systems that have AVX/AVX2/AVX512 and this
issue will be found only when one actually uses AVX/AVX2/AVX512
_AND_ does eagerfpu=off.
Reference: Intel Software Developer's Manual Vol. 3A
Sec. 2.5 Control Registers:
TS Task Switched bit (bit 3 of CR0) -- Allows the saving of the
x87 FPU/ MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4 context on a task switch
to be delayed until an x87 FPU/MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4
instruction is actually executed by the new task.
Sec. 13.4.1 Using the TS Flag to Control the Saving of the X87
FPU and SSE State
When the TS flag is set, the processor monitors the instruction
stream for x87 FPU, MMX, SSE instructions. When the processor
detects one of these instructions, it raises a
device-not-available exeception (#NM) prior to executing the
instruction.

- Introduce the 'perf stat record/report' workflow:
Generate perf.data files from 'perf stat', to tap into the
scripting capabilities perf has instead of defining a 'perf stat'
specific scripting support to calculate event ratios, etc.
Simple example:
$ perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':
1,134,996 cycles
0.000670644 seconds time elapsed
$ perf stat report
Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1':
1,134,996 cycles
0.000670644 seconds time elapsed
$
It generates PERF_RECORD_ userspace records to store the details:
$ perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD
0xf0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_THREAD_MAP nr: 1 thread: 27637
0x118 [0x12]: PERF_RECORD_CPU_MAP nr: 1 cpu: 65535

An effort was made to make perf.data files generated like this to
not generate cryptic messages when processed by older tools.

on some feature being enabled, warning the user about use of such
options (Wang Nan)
- Support hw breakpoint events (mem:0xAddress) in the default output
mode in 'perf script' (Wang Nan)
- Fixes and improvements for supporting annotating ARM binaries,
support ARM call and jump instructions, more work needed to have
arch specific stuff separated into tools/perf/arch/*/annotate/
(Russell King)
- Add initial 'perf config' command, for now just with a --list
command to the contents of the configuration file in use and a
basic man page describing its format, commands for doing edits and
detailed documentation are being reviewed and proof-read. (Taeung
Song)
- Allows BPF scriptlets specify arguments to be fetched using DWARF
info, using a prologue generated at compile/build time (He Kuang,
Wang Nan)
- Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to module symbols (Wang Nan)
- Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to userspace code using uprobe (Wang
Nan)
- BPF programs now can specify 'perf probe' tunables via its section
name, separating key=val values using semicolons (Wang Nan)

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The changes in this cycle were:
- Adding transitivity uniformly to rcu_node structure ->lock
acquisitions. (This is implemented by the first two commits on top
of v4.4-rc2 due to the pervasive nature of this change.)
- Documentation updates, including RCU requirements.
- Expedited grace-period changes.
- Miscellaneous fixes.
- Linked-list fixes, courtesy of KTSAN.
- Torture-test updates.
- Late-breaking fix to sysrq-generated crash.
One thing I should note is that these pieces of documentation are
fairly large files:
.../RCU/Design/Requirements/Requirements.html | 2897 ++++++++++++++++++++
.../RCU/Design/Requirements/Requirements.htmlx | 2741 ++++++++++++++++++
and are written in HTML, not the usual .txt style. I hope they are
fine"
Paul McKenney explains the html docs:
"For whatever it is worth, the reason for this unconventional choice
was that attempts to do the diagrams in ASCII art failed miserably.
And attempts to do ASCII art for the upcoming documentation of the
data structures failed even more miserably"

Pull vfs compat_ioctl fixes from Al Viro:
"This is basically Jann's patches from last week. I have _not_

separate story"
