I'm announcing the release of the 4.4.110 kernel. All users of the 4.4 kernel series must upgrade. But be careful, there have been some reports of problems with this release during the -rc review cycle. Hopefully all of those issues are now resolved. So please test, as of right now, it should be "bug compatible" with the "enterprise" kernel releases with regards to the Meltdown bug and proper support on all virtual platforms (meaning there is still a vdso issue that might trip up some old binaries, again, please test!) If anyone has any problems, please let me know. The updated 4.4.y git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-4.4.y and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary thanks, greg k-h ------------ Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt | 8 Makefile | 2 arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.h | 1 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S | 164 ++++++++-- arch/x86/entry/entry_64_compat.S | 7 arch/x86/entry/vdso/vclock_gettime.c | 99 +++--- arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso-layout.lds.S | 3 arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso2c.c | 3 arch/x86/entry/vdso/vma.c | 13 arch/x86/include/asm/cmdline.h | 2 arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeature.h | 4 arch/x86/include/asm/desc.h | 2 arch/x86/include/asm/hw_irq.h | 2 arch/x86/include/asm/kaiser.h | 141 ++++++++ arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h | 28 + arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_64.h | 25 + arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h | 29 + arch/x86/include/asm/processor.h | 2 arch/x86/include/asm/pvclock.h | 9 arch/x86/include/asm/tlbflush.h | 74 +++- arch/x86/include/asm/vdso.h | 1 arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/processor-flags.h | 3 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c | 28 + arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel_ds.c | 57 ++- arch/x86/kernel/espfix_64.c | 10 arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S | 35 +- arch/x86/kernel/irqinit.c | 2 arch/x86/kernel/kvmclock.c | 5 arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c | 25 + arch/x86/kernel/paravirt_patch_64.c | 2 arch/x86/kernel/process.c | 2 arch/x86/kernel/setup.c | 7 arch/x86/kernel/tracepoint.c | 2 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c | 3 arch/x86/lib/cmdline.c | 105 ++++++ arch/x86/mm/Makefile | 1 arch/x86/mm/init.c | 2 arch/x86/mm/init_64.c | 10 arch/x86/mm/kaiser.c | 456 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/x86/mm/kasan_init_64.c | 11 arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c | 63 ++- arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c | 16 arch/x86/mm/tlb.c | 39 ++ include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h | 7 include/linux/kaiser.h | 52 +++ include/linux/mmzone.h | 3 include/linux/percpu-defs.h | 32 + init/main.c | 2 kernel/fork.c | 6 mm/vmstat.c | 1 security/Kconfig | 10 51 files changed, 1469 insertions(+), 147 deletions(-) Andrey Ryabinin (1): x86/kasan: Clear kasan_zero_page after TLB flush Andy Lutomirski (2): x86, vdso, pvclock: Simplify and speed up the vdso pvclock reader x86/vdso: Get pvclock data from the vvar VMA instead of the fixmap Borislav Petkov (4): x86/kaiser: Rename and simplify X86_FEATURE_KAISER handling x86/kaiser: Check boottime cmdline params x86/kaiser: Reenable PARAVIRT x86/kaiser: Move feature detection up Dave Hansen (2): kaiser: merged update kaiser: enhanced by kernel and user PCIDs Greg Kroah-Hartman (1): Linux 4.4.110 Guenter Roeck (1): kaiser: Set _PAGE_NX only if supported Hugh Dickins (25): kaiser: do not set _PAGE_NX on pgd_none kaiser: stack map PAGE_SIZE at THREAD_SIZE-PAGE_SIZE kaiser: fix build and FIXME in alloc_ldt_struct() kaiser: KAISER depends on SMP kaiser: fix regs to do_nmi() ifndef CONFIG_KAISER kaiser: fix perf crashes kaiser: ENOMEM if kaiser_pagetable_walk() NULL kaiser: tidied up asm/kaiser.h somewhat kaiser: tidied up kaiser_add/remove_mapping slightly kaiser: kaiser_remove_mapping() move along the pgd kaiser: cleanups while trying for gold link kaiser: name that 0x1000 KAISER_SHADOW_PGD_OFFSET kaiser: delete KAISER_REAL_SWITCH option kaiser: vmstat show NR_KAISERTABLE as nr_overhead kaiser: load_new_mm_cr3() let SWITCH_USER_CR3 flush user kaiser: PCID 0 for kernel and 128 for user kaiser: x86_cr3_pcid_noflush and x86_cr3_pcid_user kaiser: paranoid_entry pass cr3 need to paranoid_exit kaiser: _pgd_alloc() without __GFP_REPEAT to avoid stalls kaiser: fix unlikely error in alloc_ldt_struct() kaiser: add "nokaiser" boot option, using ALTERNATIVE kaiser: use ALTERNATIVE instead of x86_cr3_pcid_noflush kaiser: drop is_atomic arg to kaiser_pagetable_walk() kaiser: asm/tlbflush.h handle noPGE at lower level kaiser: kaiser_flush_tlb_on_return_to_user() check PCID Jiri Kosina (1): kaiser: disabled on Xen PV Kees Cook (2): KPTI: Rename to PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION KPTI: Report when enabled Richard Fellner (1): KAISER: Kernel Address Isolation Thomas Gleixner (1): x86/paravirt: Dont patch flush_tlb_single Tom Lendacky (1): x86/boot: Add early cmdline parsing for options with arguments
