      MIPS: Octeon: Fix kernel panic on startup from memory corruption · 66803dd9
      Matt Bennett authored 
      

During development it was found that a number of builds would panic
during the kernel init process, more specifically in 'delayed_fput()'.
The panic showed the kernel trying to access a memory address of
'0xb7fdc00' while traversing the 'delayed_fput_list' structure.
Comparing this memory address to the value of the pointer used on
builds that did not panic confirmed that the pointer on crashing
builds must have been corrupted at some stage earlier in the init
process.

By traversing the list earlier and earlier in the code it was found
that 'plat_mem_setup()' was responsible for corrupting the list.
Specifically the line:

    memory = cvmx_bootmem_phy_alloc(mem_alloc_size,
			__pa_symbol(&__init_end), -1,
			0x100000,
			CVMX_BOOTMEM_FLAG_NO_LOCKING);

Which would eventually call:

    cvmx_bootmem_phy_set_size(new_ent_addr,
		cvmx_bootmem_phy_get_size
		(ent_addr) -
		(desired_min_addr -
			ent_addr));

Where 'new_ent_addr'=0x4800000 (the address of 'delayed_fput_list')
and the second argument (size)=0xb7fdc00 (the address causing the
kernel panic). The job of this part of 'plat_mem_setup()' is to
allocate chunks of memory for the kernel to use. At the start of
each chunk of memory the size of the chunk is written, hence the
value 0xb7fdc00 is written onto memory at 0x4800000, therefore the
kernel panics when it goes back to access 'delayed_fput_list' later
on in the initialisation process.

On builds that were not crashing it was found that the compiler had
placed 'delayed_fput_list' at 0x4800008, meaning it wasn't corrupted
(but something else in memory was overwritten).

As can be seen in the first function call above the code begins to
allocate chunks of memory beginning from the symbol '__init_end'.
The MIPS linker script (vmlinux.lds.S) however defines the .bss
section to begin after '__init_end'. Therefore memory within the
.bss section is allocated to the kernel to use (System.map shows
'delayed_fput_list' and other kernel structures to be in .bss).

To stop the kernel panic (and the .bss section being corrupted)
memory should begin being allocated from the symbol '_end'.

      MIPS: Fix R2300 FP context switch handling · 085c2f25
      Paul Burton authored 
      Commit 1a3d5957 ("MIPS: Tidy up FPU context switching") removed FP
context saving from the asm-written resume function in favour of reusing
existing code to perform the same task. However it only removed the FP
context saving code from the r4k_switch.S implementation of resume.
Remove it from the r2300_switch.S implementation too in order to prevent
attempting to save the FP context twice, which would likely lead to an
exception from the second save because the FPU had already been disabled
by the first save.

This patch has only been build tested, using rbtx49xx_defconfig.

Octeon uses its own implementation in octeon_switch.S, so remove FP
context saving there too in order to prevent attempting to save context
twice. That formerly led to an exception from the second save as follows
because the FPU had already been disabled by the first save:

This is because when using function graph tracer, if the traced
function return value is in multi regs ([x0-x7]), return_to_handler
may corrupt them. So in return_to_handler, the parameter regs should
be protected properly.

      MIPS: BPF: Fix load delay slots. · 0c5d1878
      Ralf Baechle authored 
      

The entire bpf_jit_asm.S is written in noreorder mode because "we know
better" according to a comment.  This also prevented the assembler from
throwing in the required NOPs for MIPS I processors which have no
load-use interlock, thus the load's consumer might end up using the
old value of the register from prior to the load.

Fixed by putting the assembler in reorder mode for just the affected
load instructions.  This is not enough for gas to actually try to be
clever by looking at the next instruction and inserting a nop only
when needed but as the comment said "we know better", so getting gas
to unconditionally emit a NOP is just right in this case and prevents
adding further ifdefery.

On x32, gcc predefines __x86_64__ but long is only 32-bit.  Use
__ILP32__ to distinguish x32.

Fixes this compiler error in perf:

	tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/__ffs.h: In function '__ffs':

This isn't sufficient to build perf for x32, though.

      x86/kexec: Fix kexec crash in syscall kexec_file_load() · e3c41e37
      Lee, Chun-Yi authored 
      

The original bug is a page fault crash that sometimes happens
on big machines when preparing ELF headers:

    BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc90613fc9000
    IP: [<ffffffff8103d645>] prepare_elf64_ram_headers_callback+0x165/0x260

The bug is caused by us under-counting the number of memory ranges
and subsequently not allocating enough ELF header space for them.
The bug is typically masked on smaller systems, because the ELF header
allocation is rounded up to the next page.

This patch modifies the code in fill_up_crash_elf_data() by using
walk_system_ram_res() instead of walk_system_ram_range() to correctly
count the max number of crash memory ranges. That's because the
walk_system_ram_range() filters out small memory regions that
reside in the same page, but walk_system_ram_res() does not.

Here's how I found the bug:

After tracing prepare_elf64_headers() and prepare_elf64_ram_headers_callback(),
the code uses walk_system_ram_res() to fill-in crash memory regions information
to the program header, so it counts those small memory regions that
reside in a page area.

But, when the kernel was using walk_system_ram_range() in
fill_up_crash_elf_data() to count the number of crash memory regions,
it filters out small regions.

I printed those small memory regions, for example:

  kexec: Get nr_ram ranges. vaddr=0xffff880077592258 paddr=0x77592258, sz=0xdc0

Based on the code in walk_system_ram_range(), this memory region
will be filtered out:

  pfn = (0x77592258 + 0x1000 - 1) >> 12 = 0x77593
  end_pfn = (0x77592258 + 0xfc0 -1 + 1) >> 12 = 0x77593
  end_pfn - pfn = 0x77593 - 0x77593 = 0  <=== if (end_pfn > pfn) is FALSE

So, the max_nr_ranges that's counted by the kernel doesn't include
small memory regions - causing us to under-allocate the required space.
That causes the page fault crash that happens in a later code path
when preparing ELF headers.

This bug is not easy to reproduce on small machines that have few
CPUs, because the allocated page aligned ELF buffer has more free
space to cover those small memory regions' PT_LOAD headers.

      arm64: Fix THP protection change logic · 1a541b4e
      Steve Capper authored 
      6910fa16 ("arm64: enable PTE type bit in the mask for pte_modify") fixes
a problem whereby a large block of PROT_NONE mapped memory is
incorrectly mapped as block descriptors when mprotect is called.

Unfortunately, a subtle bug was introduced by this fix to the THP logic.

If one mmaps a large block of memory, then faults it such that it is
collapsed into THPs; resulting calls to mprotect on this area of memory
will lead to incorrect table descriptors being written instead of block
descriptors. This is because pmd_modify calls pte_modify which is now
allowed to modify the type of the page table entry.

This patch reverts commit 6910fa16, and
fixes the problem it was trying to address by adjusting PAGE_NONE to
represent a table entry. Thus no change in pte type is required when
moving from PROT_NONE to a different protection.

Fixes: 6910fa16

      Use WARN_ON_ONCE for missing X86_FEATURE_NRIPS · d2922422
      Dirk Müller authored 
      

The cpu feature flags are not ever going to change, so warning
everytime can cause a lot of kernel log spam
(in our case more than 10GB/hour).

The warning seems to only occur when nested virtualization is
enabled, so it's probably triggered by a KVM bug.  This is a
sensible and safe change anyway, and the KVM bug fix might not
be suitable for stable releases anyway.

      arm64/efi: Fix boot crash by not padding between EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME regions · 0ce3cc00
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      

The new Properties Table feature introduced in UEFIv2.5 may
split memory regions that cover PE/COFF memory images into
separate code and data regions. Since these regions only differ
in the type (runtime code vs runtime data) and the permission
bits, but not in the memory type attributes (UC/WC/WT/WB), the
spec does not require them to be aligned to 64 KB.

Since the relative offset of PE/COFF .text and .data segments
cannot be changed on the fly, this means that we can no longer
pad out those regions to be mappable using 64 KB pages.
Unfortunately, there is no annotation in the UEFI memory map
that identifies data regions that were split off from a code
region, so we must apply this logic to all adjacent runtime
regions whose attributes only differ in the permission bits.

So instead of rounding each memory region to 64 KB alignment at
both ends, only round down regions that are not directly
preceded by another runtime region with the same type
attributes. Since the UEFI spec does not mandate that the memory
map be sorted, this means we also need to sort it first.

Note that this change will result in all EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME
regions whose start addresses are not aligned to the OS page
size to be mapped with executable permissions (i.e., on kernels
compiled with 64 KB pages). However, since these mappings are
only active during the time that UEFI Runtime Services are being
invoked, the window for abuse is rather small.

      x86/efi: Fix boot crash by mapping EFI memmap entries bottom-up at runtime, instead of top-down · a5caa209
      Matt Fleming authored 
      Beginning with UEFI v2.5 EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE was introduced
that signals that the firmware PE/COFF loader supports splitting
code and data sections of PE/COFF images into separate EFI
memory map entries. This allows the kernel to map those regions
with strict memory protections, e.g. EFI_MEMORY_RO for code,
EFI_MEMORY_XP for data, etc.

Unfortunately, an unwritten requirement of this new feature is
that the regions need to be mapped with the same offsets
relative to each other as observed in the EFI memory map. If
this is not done crashes like this may occur,

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffefe6086dd
  IP: [<fffffffefe6086dd>] 0xfffffffefe6086dd
  Call Trace:
   [<ffffffff8104c90e>] efi_call+0x7e/0x100
   [<ffffffff81602091>] ? virt_efi_set_variable+0x61/0x90
   [<ffffffff8104c583>] efi_delete_dummy_variable+0x63/0x70

   [<ffffffff81f37582>] x86_64_start_kernel+0xeb/0xef

Here 0xfffffffefe6086dd refers to an address the firmware
expects to be mapped but which the OS never claimed was mapped.
The issue is that included in these regions are relative
addresses to other regions which were emitted by the firmware
toolchain before the "splitting" of sections occurred at
runtime.

Needless to say, we don't satisfy this unwritten requirement on
x86_64 and instead map the EFI memory map entries in reverse
order. The above crash is almost certainly triggerable with any
kernel newer than v3.13 because that's when we rewrote the EFI
runtime region mapping code, in commit d2f7cbe7

 ("x86/efi:
Runtime services virtual mapping"). For kernel versions before
v3.13 things may work by pure luck depending on the
fragmentation of the kernel virtual address space at the time we
map the EFI regions.

Instead of mapping the EFI memory map entries in reverse order,
where entry N has a higher virtual address than entry N+1, map
them in the same order as they appear in the EFI memory map to
preserve this relative offset between regions.

This patch has been kept as small as possible with the intention
that it should be applied aggressively to stable and
distribution kernels. It is very much a bugfix rather than
support for a new feature, since when EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE is
enabled we must map things as outlined above to even boot - we
have no way of asking the firmware not to split the code/data
regions.

In fact, this patch doesn't even make use of the more strict
memory protections available in UEFI v2.5. That will come later.
