      powerpc/64s: Fix restore of NV GPRs after facility unavailable exception · 595d153d
      Michael Ellerman authored
      Commit 702f0980 ("powerpc/64s/exception: Remove lite interrupt
      return") changed the interrupt return path to not restore non-volatile
      registers by default, and explicitly restore them in paths where it is
      required.
      
      But it missed that the facility unavailable exception can sometimes
      modify user registers, ie. when it does emulation of move from DSCR.
      
      This is seen as a failure of the dscr_sysfs_thread_test:
        test: dscr_sysfs_thread_test
        [cpu 0] User DSCR should be 1 but is 0
        failure: dscr_sysfs_thread_test
      
      So restore non-volatile GPRs after facility unavailable exceptions.
      
      Currently the hypervisor facility unavailable exception is also wired
      up to call facility_unavailable_exception().
      
      In practice we should never take a hypervisor facility unavailable
      exception for the DSCR. On older bare metal systems we set HFSCR_DSCR
      unconditionally in __init_HFSCR, or on newer systems it should be
      enabled via the "data-stream-control-register" device tree CPU
      feature.
      
      Even if it's not, since commit f3c99f97 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV:
      Don't access HFSCR, LPIDR or LPCR when running nested"), the KVM code
      has unconditionally set HFSCR_DSCR when running guests.
      
      So we should only get a hypervisor facility unavailable for the DSCR
      if skiboot has disabled the "data-stream-control-register" feature,
      and we are somehow in guest context but not via KVM.
      
      Given all that, it should be unnecessary to add a restore of
      non-volatile GPRs after the hypervisor facility exception, because we
      never expect to hit that path. But equally we may as well add the
      restore, because we never expect to hit that path, and if we ever did,
      at least we would correctly restore the registers to their post
      emulation state.
      
      In future we can split the non-HV and HV facility unavailable handling
      so that there is no emulation in the HV handler, and then remove the
      restore for the HV case.

      powerpc/64s: Disable STRICT_KERNEL_RWX · 8659a0e0
      Michael Ellerman authored
      Several strange crashes have been eventually traced back to
      STRICT_KERNEL_RWX and its interaction with code patching.
      
      Various paths in our ftrace, kprobes and other patching code need to
      be hardened against patching failures, otherwise we can end up running
      with partially/incorrectly patched ftrace paths, kprobes or jump
      labels, which can then cause strange crashes.
      
      Although fixes for those are in development, they're not -rc material.
      
      There also seem to be problems with the underlying strict RWX logic,
      which needs further debugging.
      
      So for now disable STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on 64-bit to prevent people from
      enabling the option and tripping over the bugs.

      powerpc/uaccess: Evaluate macro arguments once, before user access is allowed · d02f6b7d
      Nicholas Piggin authored
      get/put_user() can be called with nontrivial arguments. fs/proc/page.c
      has a good example:
      
          if (put_user(stable_page_flags(ppage), out)) {
      
      stable_page_flags() is quite a lot of code, including spin locks in
      the page allocator.
      
      Ensure these arguments are evaluated before user access is allowed.
      
      This improves security by reducing code with access to userspace, but
      it also fixes a PREEMPT bug with KUAP on powerpc/64s:
      stable_page_flags() is currently called with AMR set to allow writes,
      it ends up calling spin_unlock(), which can call preempt_schedule. But
      the task switch code can not be called with AMR set (it relies on
      interrupts saving the register), so this blows up.
      
      It's fine if the code inside allow_user_access() is preemptible,
      because a timer or IPI will save the AMR, but it's not okay to
      explicitly cause a reschedule.

      powerpc/setup_64: Set cache-line-size based on cache-block-size · 94c0b013
      Chris Packham authored
      If {i,d}-cache-block-size is set and {i,d}-cache-line-size is not, use
      the block-size value for both. Per the devicetree spec cache-line-size
      is only needed if it differs from the block size.
      
      Originally the code would fallback from block size to line size. An
      error message was printed if both properties were missing.
      
      Later the code was refactored to use clearer names and logic but it
      inadvertently made line size a required property, meaning on systems
      without a line size property we fall back to the default from the
      cputable.
      
      On powernv (OPAL) platforms, since the introduction of device tree CPU
      features (5a61ef74 ("powerpc/64s: Support new device tree binding
      for discovering CPU features")), that has led to the wrong value being
      used, as the fallback value is incorrect for Power8/Power9 CPUs.
      
      The incorrect values flow through to the VDSO and also to the sysconf
      values, SC_LEVEL1_ICACHE_LINESIZE etc.

      mm: Fix MREMAP_DONTUNMAP accounting on VMA merge · dadbd85f
      Brian Geffon authored
      When remapping a mapping where a portion of a VMA is remapped
      into another portion of the VMA it can cause the VMA to become
      split. During the copy_vma operation the VMA can actually
      be remerged if it's an anonymous VMA whose pages have not yet
      been faulted. This isn't normally a problem because at the end
      of the remap the original portion is unmapped causing it to
      become split again.
      
      However, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP leaves that original portion in place which
      means that the VMA which was split and then remerged is not actually
      split at the end of the mremap. This patch fixes a bug where
      we don't detect that the VMAs got remerged and we end up
      putting back VM_ACCOUNT on the next mapping which is completely
      unreleated. When that next mapping is unmapped it results in
      incorrectly unaccounting for the memory which was never accounted,
      and eventually we will underflow on the memory comittment.
      
      There is also another issue which is similar, we're currently
      accouting for the number of pages in the new_vma but that's wrong.
      We need to account for the length of the remap operation as that's
      all that is being added. If there was a mapping already at that
      location its comittment would have been adjusted as part of
      the munmap at the start of the mremap.
      
      A really simple repro can be seen in:

          implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
      
        sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible
        array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of
        code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously
        applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances
        may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member
        convertions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of
        issues.
      
        Notice that all of these patches have been baking in linux-next for
        quite a while now and, 238 more of these patches have already been
        merged into 5.7-rc1.
      
        There are a couple hundred more of these issues waiting to be
        addressed in the whole codebase"

      Gustavo A. R. Silva authored
      The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
      extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
      variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
      introduced in C99:
      
      struct foo {
              int stuff;
              struct boo array[];
      };
      
      By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
      in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
      will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
      inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
      
      Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
      this change:
      
      "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
      may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
      zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
      
      This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
