Commit d6951f582cc50ba0ad22ef46b599740966599b14 upstream.
The intention in the previous patch was to only place the processor
tables in the .rodata section if big.Little was being built and we
wanted the branch target hardening, but instead (due to the way it
was tested) it ended up always placing the tables into the .rodata
section.
Although harmless, let's correct this anyway.

Commit 3a4d0c2172bcf15b7a3d9d498b2b355f9864286b upstream.
Marek Szyprowski reported problems with CPU hotplug in current kernels.
This was tracked down to the processor vtables being located in an
init section, and therefore discarded after kernel boot, despite being
required after boot to properly initialise the non-boot CPUs.
Arrange for these tables to end up in .rodata when required.

Commit 383fb3ee8024d596f488d2dbaf45e572897acbdb upstream.
In big.Little systems, some CPUs require the Spectre workarounds in
paths such as the context switch, but other CPUs do not. In order
to handle these differences, we need per-CPU vtables.
We are unable to use the kernel's per-CPU variables to support this
as per-CPU is not initialised at times when we need access to the
vtables, so we have to use an array indexed by logical CPU number.
We use an array-of-pointers to avoid having function pointers in
the kernel's read/write .data section.
Note: Added include of linux/slab.h in arch/arm/smp.c.

In order to prevent aliasing attacks on the branch predictor,
invalidate the BTB or instruction cache on CPUs that are known to be

task limit:
Cortex A8, A9, A12, A17, A73, A75: flush BTB.

If the IBE bit is not set, then there is little point to enabling the

Commit 9d3a04925deeabb97c8e26d940b501a2873e8af3 upstream.
Add support for per-processor bug checking - each processor function
descriptor gains a function pointer for this check, which must not be
an __init function. If non-NULL, this will be called whenever a CPU
enters the kernel via which ever path (boot CPU, secondary CPU startup,
CPU resuming, etc.)
This allows processor specific bug checks to validate that workaround
bits are properly enabled by firmware via all entry paths to the kernel.

[ Upstream commit 834020366da9ab3fb87d1eb9a3160eb22dbed63a ]
Translation faults arising from cache maintenance instructions are
rather unhelpfully reported with an FSR value where the WnR field is set
to 1, indicating that the faulting access was a write. Since cache
maintenance instructions on 32-bit ARM do not require any particular
permissions, this can cause our private 'cacheflush' system call to fail
spuriously if a translation fault is generated due to page aging when
targetting a read-only VMA.
In this situation, we will return -EFAULT to userspace, although this is
unfortunately suppressed by the popular '__builtin___clear_cache()'
intrinsic provided by GCC, which returns void.
Although it's tempting to write this off as a userspace issue, we can
actually do a little bit better on CPUs that support LPAE, even if the
short-descriptor format is in use. On these CPUs, cache maintenance
faults additionally set the CM field in the FSR, which we can use to
suppress the write permission checks in the page fault handler and
succeed in performing cache maintenance to read-only areas even in the
presence of a translation fault.

[ Upstream commit a1208f6a822ac29933e772ef1f637c5d67838da9 ]
This patch addresses possible memory corruption when
v7_dma_inv_range(start_address, end_address) address parameters are not
aligned to whole cache lines. This function issues "invalidate" cache
management operations to all cache lines from start_address (inclusive)
to end_address (exclusive). When start_address and/or end_address are
not aligned, the start and/or end cache lines are first issued "clean &
invalidate" operation. The assumption is this is done to ensure that any
dirty data addresses outside the address range (but part of the first or
last cache lines) are cleaned/flushed so that data is not lost, which
could happen if just an invalidate is issued.
The problem is that these first/last partial cache lines are issued
"clean & invalidate" and then "invalidate". This second "invalidate" is
not required and worse can cause "lost" writes to addresses outside the
address range but part of the cache line. If another component writes to
its part of the cache line between the "clean & invalidate" and
"invalidate" operations, the write can get lost. This fix is to remove
the extra "invalidate" operation when unaligned addressed are used.
A kernel module is available that has a stress test to reproduce the
issue and a unit test of the updated v7_dma_inv_range(). It can be
downloaded from
http://ftp.sageembedded.com/outgoing/linux/cache-test-20181107.tgz.
v7_dma_inv_range() is call by dmac_[un]map_area(addr, len, direction)
when the direction is DMA_FROM_DEVICE. One can (I believe) successfully
argue that DMA from a device to main memory should use buffers aligned
to cache line size, because the "clean & invalidate" might overwrite
data that the device just wrote using DMA. But if a driver does use
unaligned buffers, at least this fix will prevent memory corruption
outside the buffer.

[ Upstream commit 3a58ac65e2d7969bcdf1b6acb70fa4d12a88e53e ]
IO_SPACE_LIMIT is the ending address of the PCI IO space, i.e
something like 0xfffff (and not 0x100000).
Therefore, when offset = 0xf0000 is passed as argument, this function
fails even though the offset + SZ_64K fits below the
IO_SPACE_LIMIT. This makes the last chunk of 64 KB of the I/O space
not usable as it cannot be mapped.
This patch fixes that by substracing 1 to offset + SZ_64K, so that we
compare the addrss of the last byte of the I/O space against
IO_SPACE_LIMIT instead of the address of the first byte of what is
after the I/O space.

[ Upstream commit b4c7e2bd2eb4764afe3af9409ff3b1b87116fa30 ]
Dynamic ftrace requires modifying the code segments that are usually
set to read-only. To do this, a per arch function is called both before
and after the ftrace modifications are performed. The "before" function
will set kernel code text to read-write to allow for ftrace to make the
modifications, and the "after" function will set the kernel code text
back to "read-only" to keep the kernel code text protected.
The issue happens when dynamic ftrace is tested at boot up. The test is
done before the kernel code text has been set to read-only. But the
"before" and "after" calls are still performed. The "after" call will
change the kernel code text to read-only prematurely, and other boot
code that expects this code to be read-write will fail.
The solution is to add a variable that is set when the kernel code text
is expected to be converted to read-only, and make the ftrace "before"
and "after" calls do nothing if that variable is not yet set. This is
similar to the x86 solution from commit 162396309745 ("ftrace, x86:
make kernel text writable only for conversions").

[ Upstream commit 916a008b4b8ecc02fbd035cfb133773dba1ff3d7 ]
dma_get_sgtable() tries to create a scatterlist table containing valid
struct page pointers for the coherent memory allocation passed in to it.
However, memory can be declared via dma_declare_coherent_memory(), or
via other reservation schemes which means that coherent memory is not
guaranteed to be backed by struct pages. In such cases, the resulting
scatterlist table contains pointers to invalid pages, which causes
kernel oops later.
This patch adds detection of such memory, and refuses to create a
scatterlist table for such memory.

commit 3b0c0c922ff4be275a8beb87ce5657d16f355b54 upstream.
When CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set, the PMD dump relies on the software
read-only bit to determine whether a page is writable. This
concealed a bug which left the kernel text section writable
(AP2=0) while marked read-only in the software bit.
In a kernel with the AP2 bug, the dump looks like this:
---[ Kernel Mapping ]---
0xc0000000-0xc0200000 2M RW NX SHD
0xc0200000-0xc0600000 4M ro x SHD
0xc0600000-0xc0800000 2M ro NX SHD
0xc0800000-0xc4800000 64M RW NX SHD
The fix is to check that the software and hardware bits are both
set before displaying "ro". The dump then shows the true perms:
---[ Kernel Mapping ]---
0xc0000000-0xc0200000 2M RW NX SHD
0xc0200000-0xc0600000 4M RW x SHD

commit 400eeffaffc7232c0ae1134fe04e14ae4fb48d8c upstream.
Currently, for ARM kernels with CONFIG_ARM_LPAE and
CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled, the 2MiB pages mapping the
kernel code and rodata are writable. They are marked read-only in
a software bit (L_PMD_SECT_RDONLY) but the hardware read-only bit
is not set (PMD_SECT_AP2).
For user mappings, the logic that propagates the software bit
to the hardware bit is in set_pmd_at(); but for the kernel,
section_update() writes the PMDs directly, skipping this logic.
The fix is to set PMD_SECT_AP2 for read-only sections in
section_update(), at the same time as L_PMD_SECT_RDONLY.

commit 746a272e44141af24a02f6c9b0f65f4c4598ed42 upstream.
When there's a fatal signal pending, arm's do_page_fault()
implementation returns 0. The intent is that we'll return to the
faulting userspace instruction, delivering the signal on the way.
However, if we take a fatal signal during fixing up a uaccess, this
results in a return to the faulting kernel instruction, which will be
instantly retried, resulting in the same fault being taken forever. As
the task never reaches userspace, the signal is not delivered, and the
task is left unkillable. While the task is stuck in this state, it can
inhibit the forward progress of the system.
To avoid this, we must ensure that when a fatal signal is pending, we
apply any necessary fixup for a faulting kernel instruction. Thus we
will return to an error path, and it is up to that code to make forward
progress towards delivering the fatal signal.

commit 9e25ebfe56ece7541cd10a20d715cbdd148a2e06 upstream.
The pmd containing memblock_limit is cleared by prepare_page_table()
which creates the opportunity for early_alloc() to allocate unmapped
memory if memblock_limit is not pmd aligned causing a boot-time hang.
Commit 965278dcb8ab ("ARM: 8356/1: mm: handle non-pmd-aligned end of RAM")
attempted to resolve this problem, but there is a path through the
adjust_lowmem_bounds() routine where if all memory regions start and
end on pmd-aligned addresses the memblock_limit will be set to
arm_lowmem_limit.
Since arm_lowmem_limit can be affected by the vmalloc early parameter,
the value of arm_lowmem_limit may not be pmd-aligned. This commit
corrects this oversight such that memblock_limit is always rounded
down to pmd-alignment.

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.
Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.
This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.
Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.
One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).
Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.
Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few

In cpu_v7_do_suspend routine, r11 is used while it is NOT
saved/restored, different compiler may have different usage
of ARM general registers, so it may cause issues during
calling cpu_v7_do_suspend.
We meet kernel fault occurs when using GCC 4.8.3, r11 contains
valid value before calling into cpu_v7_do_suspend, but when returned
from this routine, r11 is corrupted and lead to kernel fault.
Doing save/restore for those corrupted registers is a must in
assemble code.

Currently, when updating section permissions to mark areas RO
or NX, the only mm updated is current->mm. This is working off
the assumption that there are no additional mm structures at
the time. This may not always hold true. (Example: calling
modprobe early will trigger a fork/exec). Ensure all mm structres
get updated with the new section information.

Under some unusual context-switching patterns, it is possible to end up
with multiple threads from the same mm running concurrently with
different ASIDs:
1. CPU x schedules task t with mm p containing ASID a and generation g
This task doesn't block and the CPU doesn't context switch.
So:
* per_cpu(active_asid, x) = {g,a}
* p->context.id = {g,a}
2. Some other CPU generates an ASID rollover. The global generation is
now (g + 1). CPU x is still running t, with no context switch and
so per_cpu(reserved_asid, x) = {g,a}
3. CPU y schedules task t', which shares mm p with t. The generation
mismatches, so we take the slowpath and hit the reserved ASID from
CPU x. p is then updated so that p->context.id = {g + 1,a}
4. CPU y schedules some other task u, which has an mm != p.
5. Some other CPU generates *another* CPU rollover. The global
generation is now (g + 2). CPU x is still running t, with no context
switch and so per_cpu(reserved_asid, x) = {g,a}.
6. CPU y once again schedules task t', but now *fails* to hit the
reserved ASID from CPU x because of the generation mismatch. This
results in a new ASID being allocated, despite the fact that t is
still running on CPU x with the same mm.
Consequently, TLBIs (e.g. as a result of CoW) will not be synchronised
between the two threads.
This patch fixes the problem by updating all of the matching reserved
ASIDs when we hit on the slowpath (i.e. in step 3 above). This keeps
the reserved ASIDs in-sync with the mm and avoids the problem.

sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

probe_kernel_address() is basically the same as the (later added)
probe_kernel_read().
The return value on EFAULT is a bit different: probe_kernel_address()
returns number-of-bytes-not-copied whereas probe_kernel_read() returns
-EFAULT. All callers have been checked, none cared.
probe_kernel_read() can be overridden by the architecture whereas
probe_kernel_address() cannot. parisc, blackfin and um do this, to insert
additional checking. Hence this patch possibly fixes obscure bugs,
although there are only two probe_kernel_address() callsites outside
arch/.
My first attempt involved removing probe_kernel_address() entirely and
converting all callsites to use probe_kernel_read() directly, but that got
tiresome.
This patch shrinks mm/slab_common.o by 218 bytes. For a single
probe_kernel_address() callsite.

Install a non-faulting handler just before unmasking imprecise aborts
and switch back to the regular one after unmasking is done.
This catches any pending imprecise abort that the firmware/bootloader
may have left behind that would normally crash the kernel at that point.
As there are apparently a lot of bootlaoders out there that do such a
thing it makes sense to handle it in the common startup code.

Mark Brand reports that a NEEDS_SYSCALL_FOR_CMPXCHG enabled kernel would
open a security hole in the ghost syscall used to implement cmpxchg, as
it fails to validate the user pointer.
However, in order for this option to be enabled, you'd need to be
building a pre-ARMv6 kernel with SMP support. There is only one system
known which fits that, which is an early ARM SMP FPGA implementation
based on the ARM926T.
In any case, the Kconfig does not allow SMP to be enabled for pre-ARMv6
systems.
Moreover, even if NEEDS_SYSCALL_FOR_CMPXCHG were to be enabled, the
kernel would not build as __ARM_NR_cmpxchg64 is not defined.
The simple answer is to remove the buggy code.

This patch adds imprecise abort enable/disable macros and uses them to
enable imprecise aborts early when starting the kernel.
This helps in tracking down the real cause for such imprecise abort, as
they are handled as soon as they occur. Until now those aborts would
only be enabled when entering the userspace and as a consequence crash
the first userspace process if any abort had been raised during kernel
startup.

Since 2009 we have a nice asm-generic header implementing lots of DMA API
functions for architectures using struct dma_map_ops, but unfortunately
it's still missing a lot of APIs that all architectures still have to
duplicate.
This series consolidates the remaining functions, although we still need
arch opt outs for two of them as a few architectures have very
non-standard implementations.
This patch (of 5):
The coherent DMA allocator works the same over all architectures supporting
dma_map operations.
This patch consolidates them and converges the minor differences:
- the debug_dma helpers are now called from all architectures, including
those that were previously missing them
- dma_alloc_from_coherent and dma_release_from_coherent are now always
called from the generic alloc/free routines instead of the ops
dma-mapping-common.h always includes dma-coherent.h to get the defintions
for them, or the stubs if the architecture doesn't support this feature
- checks for ->alloc / ->free presence are removed. There is only one
magic instead of dma_map_ops without them (mic_dma_ops) and that one
is x86 only anyway.
Besides that only x86 needs special treatment to replace a default devices
if none is passed and tweak the gfp_flags. An optional arch hook is provided
for that.

disable userspace visibility
- on exit from kernel to user, uaccess_enable will be called to
enable userspace visibility
- on entry from a kernel exception, uaccess_save_and_disable will be
called to save the current userspace visibility setting, and disable
access
- on exit from a kernel exception, uaccess_restore will be called to
restore the userspace visibility as it was before the exception
occurred.
These hooks allows us to keep userspace visibility disabled for the
vast majority of the kernel, except for localised regions where we
want to explicitly access userspace.

Improve the do_ldrd_abort macro code - firstly, it inefficiently checks
for the LDRD encoding by doing a multi-stage test of various bits. This
can be simplified by generating a mask, bitmasking the instruction and
then comparing the result.
Secondly, we want to be able to test the result rather than branching
to do_DataAbort, so remove the branch at the end and rename the macro
to 'teq_ldrd' to reflect it's new usage. teq_ldrd macro returns 'eq'
if the instruction was a LDRD.
