tpm: Opt-in in disable PCR integrity protection

2024-11-13T19:10:45Z

The initial HMAC session feature added TPM bus encryption and/or integrity protection to various in-kernel TPM operations. This can cause performance bottlenecks with IMA, as it heavily utilizes PCR extend operations. In order to mitigate this performance issue, introduce a kernel command-line parameter to the TPM driver for disabling the integrity protection for PCR extend operations (i.e. TPM2_PCR_Extend).

mm: count zeromap read and set for swapout and swapin

2024-11-11T08:00:37Z

When the proportion of folios from the zeromap is small, missing their accounting may not significantly impact profiling. However, it's easy to construct a scenario where this becomes an issue—for example, allocating 1 GB of memory, writing zeros from userspace, followed by MADV_PAGEOUT, and then swapping it back in. In this case, the swap-out and swap-in counts seem to vanish into a black hole, potentially causing semantic ambiguity. On the other hand, Usama reported that zero-filled pages can exceed 10% in workloads utilizing zswap, while Hailong noted that some app in Android have more than 6% zero-filled pages. Before commit 0ca0c24e3211 ("mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap"), both zswap and zRAM implemented similar optimizations, leading to these optimized-out pages being counted in either zswap or zRAM counters (with pswpin/pswpout also increasing for zRAM). With zeromap functioning prior to both zswap and zRAM, userspace will no longer detect these swap-out and swap-in actions. We have three ways to address this: 1. Introduce a dedicated counter specifically for the zeromap. 2. Use pswpin/pswpout accounting, treating the zero map as a standard backend. This approach aligns with zRAM's current handling of same-page fills at the device level. However, it would mean losing the optimized-out page counters previously available in zRAM and would not align with systems using zswap. Additionally, as noted by Nhat Pham, pswpin/pswpout counters apply only to I/O done directly to the backend device. 3. Count zeromap pages under zswap, aligning with system behavior when zswap is enabled. However, this would not be consistent with zRAM, nor would it align with systems lacking both zswap and zRAM. Given the complications with options 2 and 3, this patch selects option 1. We can find these counters from /proc/vmstat (counters for the whole system) and memcg's memory.stat (counters for the interested memcg). For example: $ grep -E 'swpin_zero|swpout_zero' /proc/vmstat swpin_zero 1648 swpout_zero 33536 $ grep -E 'swpin_zero|swpout_zero' /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/memory.stat swpin_zero 3905 swpout_zero 3985 This patch does not address any specific zeromap bug, but the missing swpout and swpin counts for zero-filled pages can be highly confusing and may mislead user-space agents that rely on changes in these counters as indicators. Therefore, we add a Fixes tag to encourage the inclusion of this counter in any kernel versions with zeromap. Many thanks to Kanchana for the contribution of changing count_objcg_event() to count_objcg_events() to support large folios[1], which has now been incorporated into this patch.

mm: fix docs for the kernel parameter ``thp_anon=``

2024-11-07T22:14:59Z

If we add ``thp_anon=32,64K:always`` to the kernel command line, we will see the following error: [ 0.000000] huge_memory: thp_anon=32,64K:always: error parsing string, ignoring setting This happens because the correct format isn't ``thp_anon=,[KMG]:```, as [KMG] must follow each number to especify its unit. So, the correct format is ``thp_anon=[KMG],[KMG]:```. Therefore, adjust the documentation to reflect the correct format of the parameter ``thp_anon=``.

cpufreq: docs: Reflect latency changes in docs

2024-10-21T11:20:03Z

There were two changes related to transition latency recently. Namely commit e13aa799c2a6 ("cpufreq: Change default transition delay to 2ms") and commit 37c6dccd6837 ("cpufreq: Remove LATENCY_MULTIPLIER"). Both changed the defaults / maximums so let the documentation reflect that.

ipe: allow secondary and platform keyrings to install/update policies

2024-10-17T18:46:10Z

The current policy management makes it impossible to use IPE in a general purpose distribution. In such cases the users are not building the kernel, the distribution is, and access to the private key included in the trusted keyring is, for obvious reason, not available. This means that users have no way to enable IPE, since there will be no built-in generic policy, and no access to the key to sign updates validated by the trusted keyring. Just as we do for dm-verity, kernel modules and more, allow the secondary and platform keyrings to also validate policies. This allows users enrolling their own keys in UEFI db or MOK to also sign policies, and enroll them. This makes it sensible to enable IPE in general purpose distributions, as it becomes usable by any user wishing to do so. Keys in these keyrings can already load kernels and kernel modules, so there is no security downgrade. Add a kconfig each, like dm-verity does, but default to enabled if the dependencies are available.

ipe: also reject policy updates with the same version

2024-10-17T18:38:15Z

Currently IPE accepts an update that has the same version as the policy being updated, but it doesn't make it a no-op nor it checks that the old and new policyes are the same. So it is possible to change the content of a policy, without changing its version. This is very confusing from userspace when managing policies. Instead change the update logic to reject updates that have the same version with ESTALE, as that is much clearer and intuitive behaviour.

Pull x86 kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "x86: - KVM currently invalidates the entirety of the page tables, not just those for the memslot being touched, when a memslot is moved or deleted. This does not traditionally have particularly noticeable overhead, but Intel's TDX will require the guest to re-accept private pages if they are dropped from the secure EPT, which is a non starter. Actually, the only reason why this is not already being done is a bug which was never fully investigated and caused VM instability with assigned GeForce GPUs, so allow userspace to opt into the new behavior. - Advertise AVX10.1 to userspace (effectively prep work for the "real" AVX10 functionality that is on the horizon) - Rework common MSR handling code to suppress errors on userspace accesses to unsupported-but-advertised MSRs This will allow removing (almost?) all of KVM's exemptions for userspace access to MSRs that shouldn't exist based on the vCPU model (the actual cleanup is non-trivial future work) - Rework KVM's handling of x2APIC ICR, again, because AMD (x2AVIC) splits the 64-bit value into the legacy ICR and ICR2 storage, whereas Intel (APICv) stores the entire 64-bit value at the ICR offset - Fix a bug where KVM would fail to exit to userspace if one was triggered by a fastpath exit handler - Add fastpath handling of HLT VM-Exit to expedite re-entering the guest when there's already a pending wake event at the time of the exit - Fix a WARN caused by RSM entering a nested guest from SMM with invalid guest state, by forcing the vCPU out of guest mode prior to signalling SHUTDOWN (the SHUTDOWN hits the VM altogether, not the nested guest) - Overhaul the "unprotect and retry" logic to more precisely identify cases where retrying is actually helpful, and to harden all retry paths against putting the guest into an infinite retry loop - Add support for yielding, e.g. to honor NEED_RESCHED, when zapping rmaps in the shadow MMU - Refactor pieces of the shadow MMU related to aging SPTEs in prepartion for adding multi generation LRU support in KVM - Don't stuff the RSB after VM-Exit when RETPOLINE=y and AutoIBRS is enabled, i.e. when the CPU has already flushed the RSB - Trace the per-CPU host save area as a VMCB pointer to improve readability and cleanup the retrieval of the SEV-ES host save area - Remove unnecessary accounting of temporary nested VMCB related allocations - Set FINAL/PAGE in the page fault error code for EPT violations if and only if the GVA is valid. If the GVA is NOT valid, there is no guest-side page table walk and so stuffing paging related metadata is nonsensical - Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly synthesize a nested VM-Exit instead of emulating posted interrupt delivery to L2 - Add a lockdep assertion to detect unsafe accesses of vmcs12 structures - Harden eVMCS loading against an impossible NULL pointer deref (really truly should be impossible) - Minor SGX fix and a cleanup - Misc cleanups Generic: - Register KVM's cpuhp and syscore callbacks when enabling virtualization in hardware, as the sole purpose of said callbacks is to disable and re-enable virtualization as needed - Enable virtualization when KVM is loaded, not right before the first VM is created Together with the previous change, this simplifies a lot the logic of the callbacks, because their very existence implies virtualization is enabled - Fix a bug that results in KVM prematurely exiting to userspace for coalesced MMIO/PIO in many cases, clean up the related code, and add a testcase - Fix a bug in kvm_clear_guest() where it would trigger a buffer overflow _if_ the gpa+len crosses a page boundary, which thankfully is guaranteed to not happen in the current code base. Add WARNs in more helpers that read/write guest memory to detect similar bugs Selftests: - Fix a goof that caused some Hyper-V tests to be skipped when run on bare metal, i.e. NOT in a VM - Add a regression test for KVM's handling of SHUTDOWN for an SEV-ES guest - Explicitly include one-off assets in .gitignore.
