CPUFreq driver's Kconfig entries are added in Kconfig.<arch> files and they are
all included from the main Kconfig file using a menu entry. This creates another
level of (unnecessary) hierarchy within the menuconfig entries.
The problem occurs when there are drivers usable across architectures. Either
their config entry is duplicated in all the supported architectures or is put
into the main Kconfig entry. With the later one, we have menuconfig entries for
drivers at two levels then.
Fix these issues by getting rid of another level of menuconfig hierarchy and
populate all drivers within the main cpufreq menu. To clearly distinguish where
the drivers start from, also add a comment that will appear in menuconfig.

The previous patch allocates bounds tables on-demand. As noted in
an earlier description, these can add up to *HUGE* amounts of
memory. This has caused OOMs in practice when running tests.
This patch adds support for freeing bounds tables when they are no
longer in use.
There are two types of mappings in play when unmapping tables:
1. The mapping with the actual data, which userspace is
munmap()ing or brk()ing away, etc...
2. The mapping for the bounds table *backing* the data
(is tagged with VM_MPX, see the patch "add MPX specific
mmap interface").
If userspace use the prctl() indroduced earlier in this patchset
to enable the management of bounds tables in kernel, when it
unmaps the first type of mapping with the actual data, the kernel
needs to free the mapping for the bounds table backing the data.
This patch hooks in at the very end of do_unmap() to do so.
We look at the addresses being unmapped and find the bounds
directory entries and tables which cover those addresses. If
an entire table is unused, we clear associated directory entry
and free the table.
Once we unmap the bounds table, we would have a bounds directory
entry pointing at empty address space. That address space might
now be allocated for some other (random) use, and the MPX
hardware might now try to walk it as if it were a bounds table.
That would be bad. So any unmapping of an enture bounds table
has to be accompanied by a corresponding write to the bounds
directory entry to invalidate it. That write to the bounds
directory can fault, which causes the following problem:
Since we are doing the freeing from munmap() (and other paths
like it), we hold mmap_sem for write. If we fault, the page
fault handler will attempt to acquire mmap_sem for read and
we will deadlock. To avoid the deadlock, we pagefault_disable()
when touching the bounds directory entry and use a
get_user_pages() to resolve the fault.
The unmapping of bounds tables happends under vm_munmap(). We
also (indirectly) call vm_munmap() to _do_ the unmapping of the
bounds tables. We avoid unbounded recursion by disallowing
freeing of bounds tables *for* bounds tables. This would not
occur normally, so should not have any practical impact. Being
strict about it here helps ensure that we do not have an
exploitable stack overflow.

This is really the meat of the MPX patch set. If there is one patch to
review in the entire series, this is the one. There is a new ABI here
and this kernel code also interacts with userspace memory in a
relatively unusual manner. (small FAQ below).
Long Description:
This patch adds two prctl() commands to provide enable or disable the
management of bounds tables in kernel, including on-demand kernel
allocation (See the patch "on-demand kernel allocation of bounds tables")
and cleanup (See the patch "cleanup unused bound tables"). Applications
do not strictly need the kernel to manage bounds tables and we expect
some applications to use MPX without taking advantage of this kernel
support. This means the kernel can not simply infer whether an application
needs bounds table management from the MPX registers. The prctl() is an
explicit signal from userspace.
PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT is meant to be a signal from userspace to
require kernel's help in managing bounds tables.
PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT is the opposite, meaning that userspace don't
want kernel's help any more. With PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT, the kernel
won't allocate and free bounds tables even if the CPU supports MPX.
PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT will fetch the base address of the bounds
directory out of a userspace register (bndcfgu) and then cache it into
a new field (->bd_addr) in the 'mm_struct'. PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT
will set "bd_addr" to an invalid address. Using this scheme, we can
use "bd_addr" to determine whether the management of bounds tables in
kernel is enabled.
Also, the only way to access that bndcfgu register is via an xsaves,
which can be expensive. Caching "bd_addr" like this also helps reduce
the cost of those xsaves when doing table cleanup at munmap() time.
Unfortunately, we can not apply this optimization to #BR fault time
because we need an xsave to get the value of BNDSTATUS.
==== Why does the hardware even have these Bounds Tables? ====
MPX only has 4 hardware registers for storing bounds information.
If MPX-enabled code needs more than these 4 registers, it needs to
spill them somewhere. It has two special instructions for this
which allow the bounds to be moved between the bounds registers
and some new "bounds tables".
They are similar conceptually to a page fault and will be raised by
the MPX hardware during both bounds violations or when the tables
are not present. This patch handles those #BR exceptions for
not-present tables by carving the space out of the normal processes
address space (essentially calling the new mmap() interface indroduced
earlier in this patch set.) and then pointing the bounds-directory
over to it.
The tables *need* to be accessed and controlled by userspace because
the instructions for moving bounds in and out of them are extremely
frequent. They potentially happen every time a register pointing to
memory is dereferenced. Any direct kernel involvement (like a syscall)
to access the tables would obviously destroy performance.
==== Why not do this in userspace? ====
This patch is obviously doing this allocation in the kernel.
However, MPX does not strictly *require* anything in the kernel.
It can theoretically be done completely from userspace. Here are
a few ways this *could* be done. I don't think any of them are
practical in the real-world, but here they are.
Q: Can virtual space simply be reserved for the bounds tables so
that we never have to allocate them?
A: As noted earlier, these tables are *HUGE*. An X-GB virtual
area needs 4*X GB of virtual space, plus 2GB for the bounds
directory. If we were to preallocate them for the 128TB of
user virtual address space, we would need to reserve 512TB+2GB,
which is larger than the entire virtual address space today.
This means they can not be reserved ahead of time. Also, a
single process's pre-popualated bounds directory consumes 2GB
of virtual *AND* physical memory. IOW, it's completely
infeasible to prepopulate bounds directories.
Q: Can we preallocate bounds table space at the same time memory
is allocated which might contain pointers that might eventually
need bounds tables?
A: This would work if we could hook the site of each and every
memory allocation syscall. This can be done for small,
constrained applications. But, it isn't practical at a larger
scale since a given app has no way of controlling how all the
parts of the app might allocate memory (think libraries). The
kernel is really the only place to intercept these calls.
Q: Could a bounds fault be handed to userspace and the tables
allocated there in a signal handler instead of in the kernel?
A: (thanks to tglx) mmap() is not on the list of safe async
handler functions and even if mmap() would work it still
requires locking or nasty tricks to keep track of the
allocation state there.
Having ruled out all of the userspace-only approaches for managing
bounds tables that we could think of, we create them on demand in
the kernel.

This patch sets bound violation fields of siginfo struct in #BR
exception handler by decoding the user instruction and constructing
the faulting pointer.
We have to be very careful when decoding these instructions. They
are completely controlled by userspace and may be changed at any
time up to and including the point where we try to copy them in to
the kernel. They may or may not be MPX instructions and could be
completely invalid for all we know.
Note: This code is based on Qiaowei Ren's specialized MPX
decoder, but uses the generic decoder whenever possible. It was
tested for robustness by generating a completely random data
stream and trying to decode that stream. I also unmapped random
pages inside the stream to test the "partial instruction" short
read code.
We kzalloc() the siginfo instead of stack allocating it because
we need to memset() it anyway, and doing this makes it much more
clear when it got initialized by the MPX instruction decoder.
Changes from the old decoder:
* Use the generic decoder instead of custom functions. Saved
~70 lines of code overall.
* Remove insn->addr_bytes code (never used??)
* Make sure never to possibly overflow the regoff[] array, plus
check the register range correctly in 32 and 64-bit modes.
* Allow get_reg() to return an error and have mpx_get_addr_ref()
handle when it sees errors.
* Only call insn_get_*() near where we actually use the values
instead if trying to call them all at once.
* Handle short reads from copy_from_user() and check the actual
number of read bytes against what we expect from
insn_get_length(). If a read stops in the middle of an
instruction, we error out.
* Actually check the opcodes intead of ignoring them.
* Dynamically kzalloc() siginfo_t so we don't leak any stack
data.
* Detect and handle decoder failures instead of ignoring them.

We have chosen to perform the allocation of bounds tables in
kernel (See the patch "on-demand kernel allocation of bounds
tables") and to mark these VMAs with VM_MPX.
However, there is currently no suitable interface to actually do
this. Existing interfaces, like do_mmap_pgoff(), have no way to
set a modified ->vm_ops or ->vm_flags and don't hold mmap_sem
long enough to let a caller do it.
This patch wraps mmap_region() and hold mmap_sem long enough to
make the modifications to the VMA which we need.
Also note the 32/64-bit #ifdef in the header. We actually need
to do this at runtime eventually. But, for now, we don't support
running 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels. Support for this will
come in later patches.

MPX-enabled applications using large swaths of memory can
potentially have large numbers of bounds tables in process
address space to save bounds information. These tables can take
up huge swaths of memory (as much as 80% of the memory on the
system) even if we clean them up aggressively. In the worst-case
scenario, the tables can be 4x the size of the data structure
being tracked. IOW, a 1-page structure can require 4 bounds-table
pages.
Being this huge, our expectation is that folks using MPX are
going to be keen on figuring out how much memory is being
dedicated to it. So we need a way to track memory use for MPX.
If we want to specifically track MPX VMAs we need to be able to
distinguish them from normal VMAs, and keep them from getting
merged with normal VMAs. A new VM_ flag set only on MPX VMAs does
both of those things. With this flag, MPX bounds-table VMAs can
be distinguished from other VMAs, and userspace can also walk
/proc/$pid/smaps to get memory usage for MPX.
In addition to this flag, we also introduce a special ->vm_ops
specific to MPX VMAs (see the patch "add MPX specific mmap
interface"), but currently different ->vm_ops do not by
themselves prevent VMA merging, so we still need this flag.
We understand that VM_ flags are scarce and are open to other
options.

Consider the bndX MPX registers. There 4 registers each
containing a 64-bit lower and a 64-bit upper bound. That's 8*64
bits and we declare it thusly:
struct bndregs_struct {
u64 bndregs[8];
}
Let's say you want to read the upper bound from the MPX register
bnd2 out of the xsave buf. You do:
bndregno = 2;
upper_bound = xsave_buf->bndregs.bndregs[2*bndregno+1];
That kinda sucks. Every time you access it, you need to know:
1. Each bndX register is two entries wide in "bndregs"
2. The lower comes first followed by upper. We do the +1 to get
upper vs. lower.
This replaces the old definition. You can now access them
indexed by the register number directly, and with a meaningful
name for the lower and upper bound:
bndregno = 2;
xsave_buf->bndreg[bndregno].upper_bound;
It's now *VERY* clear that there are 4 registers. The programmer
now doesn't have to care what order the lower and upper bounds
are in, and it's harder to get it wrong.

The current x86 instruction decoder steps along through the
instruction stream but always ensures that it never steps farther
than the largest possible instruction size (MAX_INSN_SIZE).
The MPX code is now going to be doing some decoding of userspace
instructions. We copy those from userspace in to the kernel and
they're obviously completely untrusted coming from userspace. In
addition to the constraint that instructions can only be so long,
we also have to be aware of how long the buffer is that came in
from userspace. This _looks_ to be similar to what the perf and
kprobes is doing, but it's unclear to me whether they are
affected.
The whole reason we need this is that it is perfectly valid to be
executing an instruction within MAX_INSN_SIZE bytes of an
unreadable page. We should be able to gracefully handle short
reads in those cases.
This adds support to the decoder to record how long the buffer
being decoded is and to refuse to "validate" the instruction if
we would have gone over the end of the buffer to decode it.
The kprobes code probably needs to be looked at here a bit more
carefully. This patch still respects the MAX_INSN_SIZE limit
there but the kprobes code does look like it might be able to
be a bit more strict than it currently is.

The version field defined in the audit status structure was found to have
limitations in terms of its expressibility of features supported. This is
distict from the get/set features call to be able to command those features
that are present.
Converting this field from a version number to a feature bitmap will allow
distributions to selectively backport and support certain features and will
allow upstream to be able to deprecate features in the future. It will allow
userspace clients to first query the kernel for which features are actually
present and supported. Currently, EINVAL is returned rather than EOPNOTSUP,
which isn't helpful in determining if there was an error in the command, or if
it simply isn't supported yet. Past features are not represented by this
bitmap, but their use may be converted to EOPNOTSUP if needed in the future.
Since "version" is too generic to convert with a #define, use a union in the
struct status, introducing the member "feature_bitmap" unionized with
"version".
Convert existing AUDIT_VERSION_* macros over to AUDIT_FEATURE_BITMAP*
counterparts, leaving the former for backwards compatibility.

1. Whenever userspace application has triggered TDLS connection with
any peer, driver would store this peer mac address details in its database.
2. After this driver whenever driver receives packet on direct link,
it would store rssi and timestamp in peer information.
3. Whenever a packet is to be transmitted to non-AP peer in station mode,
driver would check if TDLS link can be established by looking at peer RSSI
information. Driver would initiate TDLS setup in such cases.
4. Periodic timer is used for updating peer information.
5. Auto TDLS peer list & timer are cleared during disconnection or driver unload.

We need not do this explicitly here.
