When emulating an instruction that reads the destination memory operand (i.e.,
instructions without the Mov flag in the emulator), the operand is first read.
If a page-fault is detected in this phase, the error-code which would be
delivered to the VM does not indicate that the access that caused the exception
is a write one. This does not conform with real hardware, and may cause the VM
to enter the page-fault handler twice for no reason (once for read, once for
write).

The "by8" counter mode optimization is broken for 128 bit keys with
input data longer than 128 bytes. It uses the wrong key material for
en- and decryption.
The key registers xkey0, xkey4, xkey8 and xkey12 need to be preserved
in case we're handling more than 128 bytes of input data -- they won't
get reloaded after the initial load. They must therefore be (a) loaded
on the first iteration and (b) be preserved for the latter ones. The
implementation for 128 bit keys does not comply with (a) nor (b).
Fix this by bringing the implementation back to its original source
and correctly load the key registers and preserve their values by
*not* re-using the registers for other purposes.
Kudos to James for reporting the issue and providing a test case
showing the discrepancies.

We currently pretend that IST context is like standard exception
context, but this is incorrect. IST entries from userspace are like
standard exceptions except that they use per-cpu stacks, so they are
atomic. IST entries from kernel space are like NMIs from RCU's
perspective -- they are not quiescent states even if they
interrupted the kernel during a quiescent state.
Add and use ist_enter and ist_exit to track IST context. Even
though x86_32 has no IST stacks, we track these interrupts the same
way.
This fixes two issues:
- Scheduling from an IST interrupt handler will now warn. It would
previously appear to work as long as we got lucky and nothing
overwrote the stack frame. (I don't know of any bugs in this
that would trigger the warning, but it's good to be on the safe
side.)
- RCU handling in IST context was dangerous. As far as I know,
only machine checks were likely to trigger this, but it's good to
be on the safe side.
Note that the machine check handlers appears to have been missing
any context tracking at all before this patch.

This causes all non-NMI, non-double-fault kernel entries from
userspace to run on the normal kernel stack. Double-fault is
exempt to minimize confusion if we double-fault directly from
userspace due to a bad kernel stack.
This is, suprisingly, simpler and shorter than the current code. It
removes the IMO rather frightening paranoid_userspace path, and it
make sync_regs much simpler.
There is no risk of stack overflow due to this change -- the kernel
stack that we switch to is empty.
This will also enable us to create non-atomic sections within
machine checks from userspace, which will simplify memory failure
handling. It will also allow the upcoming fsgsbase code to be
simplified, because it doesn't need to worry about usergs when
scheduling in paranoid_exit, as that code no longer exists.

There should be no correctness issue, because the __getcpu calls in

Note to stable maintainers: In 3.18 and below, depending on

This patch won't apply as is to any released kernel, but I'll send a
trivial backported version if needed.

Commit 9def39be4e ("x86: Support compiling out human-friendly
processor feature names") made two source file targets
conditional. Such conditional targets will not be cleaned
automatically by make mrproper.
Fix by adding explicit clean-files targets for the two files.

The old scheme can lead to failure in certain cases - the
problem is that after bumping step_size the next (non-final)
iteration is only guaranteed to make available a memory block
the size of what step_size was before. E.g. for a memory block
[0,3004600000) we'd have:
iter start end step amount
1 3004400000 30045fffff 2M 2M
2 3004000000 30043fffff 64M 4M
3 3000000000 3003ffffff 2G 64M
4 2000000000 2fffffffff 64G 64G
Yet to map 64G with 4k pages (as happens e.g. under PV Xen) we
need slightly over 128M, but the first three iterations made
only about 70M available.
The condition (new_mapped_ram_size > mapped_ram_size) for
bumping step_size is just not suitable. Instead we want to bump
it when we know we have enough memory available to cover a block
of the new step_size. And rather than making that condition more
complicated than needed, simply adjust step_size by the largest
possible factor we know we can cover at that point - which is
shifting it left by one less than the difference between page
table level shifts. (Interestingly the original STEP_SIZE_SHIFT
definition had a comment hinting at that having been the
intention, just that it should have been PUD_SHIFT-PMD_SHIFT-1
instead of (PUD_SHIFT-PMD_SHIFT)/2, and of course for non-PAE
32-bit we can't really use these two constants as they're equal
there.)
Furthermore the comment in get_new_step_size() didn't get
updated when the bottom-down mapping logic got added. Yet while
an overflow (flushing step_size to zero) of the shift doesn't
matter for the top-down method, it does for bottom-up because
round_up(x, 0) = 0, and an upper range boundary of zero can't
really work well.

There is no reason for having it and, with commit 250a1ac685 ("x86,
smpboot: Remove pointless preempt_disable() in
native_smp_prepare_cpus()"), it prevents HVM guests from booting.
