      MIPS: VDSO: Drop duplicated -I*/-E* aflags · 9445622c
      James Hogan authored 
      

The aflags-vdso is based on ccflags-vdso, which already contains the -I*
and -EL/-EB flags from KBUILD_CFLAGS, but those flags are needlessly
added again to aflags-vdso.

Drop the duplication.

      MIPS: Fix -mabi=64 build of vdso.lds · 034827c7
      James Hogan authored 
      

The native ABI vDSO linker script vdso.lds is built by preprocessing
vdso.lds.S, with the native -mabi flag passed in to get the correct ABI
definitions. Unfortunately however certain toolchains choke on -mabi=64
without a corresponding compatible -march flag, for example:

cc1: error: ‘-march=mips32r2’ is not compatible with the selected ABI
scripts/Makefile.build:338: recipe for target 'arch/mips/vdso/vdso.lds' failed

Fix this by including ccflags-vdso in the KBUILD_CPPFLAGS for vdso.lds,
which includes the appropriate -march flag.

      powerpc/64s: Fix power4_fixup_nap placement · 7c8cb4b5
      Nicholas Piggin authored 
      

power4_fixup_nap is called from the "common" handlers, not the virt/real
handlers, therefore it should itself be a common handler. Placing it
down in the trampoline space caused it to go out of reach of its
callers, requiring a trampoline inserted at the start of the text
section, which breaks the fixed section address calculations.

      powerpc/pseries: Fix stack corruption in htpe code · 05af40e8
      Laurent Dufour authored 
      

This commit fixes a stack corruption in the pseries specific code dealing
with the huge pages.

In __pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate() the buffer used to pass arguments
to the hypervisor is not large enough. This leads to a stack corruption
where a previously saved register could be corrupted leading to unexpected
result in the caller, like the following panic:

Most of the time, the bug is surfacing in a caller up in the stack from
__pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate() which is quite confusing.

This bug is pending since v3.11 but was hidden if a caller of the
caller of __pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate() has pushed the corruped
register (r18 in this case) in the stack and is not using it until
restoring it. GCC 6.2.0 seems to raise it more frequently.

This commit also change the definition of the parameter buffer in
pSeries_lpar_flush_hash_range() to rely on the global define
PLPAR_HCALL9_BUFSIZE (no functional change here).

      gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy plugin · 38addce8
      Emese Revfy authored 
      

This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to
extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as
possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation
(due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering,
thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).

At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for
how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals.

The need for very-early boot entropy tends to be very architecture or
system design specific, so this plugin is more suited for those sorts
of special cases. The existing kernel RNG already attempts to extract
entropy from reliable runtime variation, but this plugin takes the idea to
a logical extreme by permuting a global variable based on any variation
in code execution (e.g. a different value (and permutation function)
is used to permute the global based on loop count, case statement,
if/then/else branching, etc).

To do this, the plugin starts by inserting a local variable in every
marked function. The plugin then adds logic so that the value of this
variable is modified by randomly chosen operations (add, xor and rol) and
random values (gcc generates separate static values for each location at
compile time and also injects the stack pointer at runtime). The resulting
value depends on the control flow path (e.g., loops and branches taken).

Before the function returns, the plugin mixes this local variable into
the latent_entropy global variable. The value of this global variable
is added to the kernel entropy pool in do_one_initcall() and _do_fork(),
though it does not credit any bytes of entropy to the pool; the contents
of the global are just used to mix the pool.

Additionally, the plugin can pre-initialize arrays with build-time
random contents, so that two different kernel builds running on identical
hardware will not have the same starting values.
