commit cb7cf772d83d2d4e6995c5bb9e0fb59aea8f7080 upstream.

The BAD_MADT_GICC_ENTRY() macro checks if a GICC MADT entry passes
muster from an ACPI specification standpoint. Current macro detects the
MADT GICC entry length through ACPI firmware version (it changed from 76
to 80 bytes in the transition from ACPI 5.1 to ACPI 6.0 specification)
but always uses (erroneously) the ACPICA (latest) struct (ie struct
acpi_madt_generic_interrupt - that is 80-bytes long) length to check if
the current GICC entry memory record exceeds the MADT table end in
memory as defined by the MADT table header itself, which may result in
false negatives depending on the ACPI firmware version and how the MADT
entries are laid out in memory (ie on ACPI 5.1 firmware MADT GICC
entries are 76 bytes long, so by adding 80 to a GICC entry start address
in memory the resulting address may well be past the actual MADT end,
triggering a false negative).

Fix the BAD_MADT_GICC_ENTRY() macro by reshuffling the condition checks
and update them to always use the firmware version specific MADT GICC
entry length in order to carry out boundary checks.

[ Upstream commit 41c066f2c4d436c535616fe182331766c57838f0 ]

When CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL=y, the offset between loaded
modules and the core kernel may exceed 4 GB, putting symbols exported
by the core kernel out of the reach of the ordinary adrp/add instruction
pairs used to generate relative symbol references. So make the adr_l
macro emit a movz/movk sequence instead when executing in module context.

While at it, remove the pointless special case for the stack pointer.

commit 276e93279a630657fff4b086ba14c95955912dfa upstream.

This backport has a minor difference from the upstream commit: it adds
the asm-uaccess.h file, which is not present in 4.9, because 4.9 does
not have commit b4b8664d291a ("arm64: don't pull uaccess.h into *.S").

Original patch description:

When handling a data abort from EL0, we currently zero the top byte of
the faulting address, as we assume the address is a TTBR0 address, which
may contain a non-zero address tag. However, the address may be a TTBR1
address, in which case we should not zero the top byte. This patch fixes
that. The effect is that the full TTBR1 address is passed to the task's
signal handler (or printed out in the kernel log).

When handling a data abort from EL1, we leave the faulting address
intact, as we assume it's either a TTBR1 address or a TTBR0 address with
tag 0x00. This is true as far as I'm aware, we don't seem to access a
tagged TTBR0 address anywhere in the kernel. Regardless, it's easy to
forget about address tags, and code added in the future may not always
remember to remove tags from addresses before accessing them. So add tag
handling to the EL1 data abort handler as well. This also makes it
consistent with the EL0 data abort handler.

commit 7dcd9dd8cebe9fa626af7e2358d03a37041a70fb upstream.

This backport has a small difference from the upstream commit:
 - The address tag is removed in watchpoint_handler() instead of
   get_distance_from_watchpoint(), because 4.9 does not have commit
   fdfeff0f9e3d ("arm64: hw_breakpoint: Handle inexact watchpoint
   addresses").

Original patch description:

When we take a watchpoint exception, the address that triggered the
watchpoint is found in FAR_EL1. We compare it to the address of each
configured watchpoint to see which one was hit.

The configured watchpoint addresses are untagged, while the address in
FAR_EL1 will have an address tag if the data access was done using a
tagged address. The tag needs to be removed to compare the address to
the watchpoints.

Currently we don't remove it, and as a result can report the wrong
watchpoint as being hit (specifically, always either the highest TTBR0
watchpoint or lowest TTBR1 watchpoint). This patch removes the tag.

commit d68c1f7fd1b7148dab5fe658321d511998969f2d upstream.

__do_hyp_init has the rather bad habit of ignoring RES1 bits and
writing them back as zero. On a v8.0-8.2 CPU, this doesn't do anything
bad, but may end-up being pretty nasty on future revisions of the
architecture.

Let's preserve those bits so that we don't have to fix this later on.

commit a06040d7a791a9177581dcf7293941bd92400856 upstream.

Our access_ok() simply hands its arguments over to __range_ok(), which
implicitly assummes that the addr parameter is 64 bits wide. This isn't
necessarily true for compat code, which might pass down a 32-bit address
parameter.

In these cases, we don't have a guarantee that the address has been zero
extended to 64 bits, and the upper bits of the register may contain
unknown values, potentially resulting in a suprious failure.

Avoid this by explicitly casting the addr parameter to an unsigned long
(as is done on other architectures), ensuring that the parameter is
widened appropriately.

commit 994870bead4ab19087a79492400a5478e2906196 upstream.

When an inline assembly operand's type is narrower than the register it
is allocated to, the least significant bits of the register (up to the
operand type's width) are valid, and any other bits are permitted to
contain any arbitrary value. This aligns with the AAPCS64 parameter
passing rules.

Our __smp_store_release() implementation does not account for this, and
implicitly assumes that operands have been zero-extended to the width of
the type being stored to. Thus, we may store unknown values to memory
when the value type is narrower than the pointer type (e.g. when storing
a char to a long).

This patch fixes the issue by casting the value operand to the same
width as the pointer operand in all cases, which ensures that the value
is zero-extended as we expect. We use the same union trickery as
__smp_load_acquire and {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() to avoid GCC complaining that
pointers are potentially cast to narrower width integers in unreachable
paths.

A whitespace issue at the top of __smp_store_release() is also
corrected.

No changes are necessary for __smp_load_acquire(). Load instructions
implicitly clear any upper bits of the register, and the compiler will
only consider the least significant bits of the register as valid
regardless.

commit fee960bed5e857eb126c4e56dd9ff85938356579 upstream.

The inline assembly in __XCHG_CASE() uses a +Q constraint to hazard
against other accesses to the memory location being exchanged. However,
the pointer passed to the constraint is a u8 pointer, and thus the
hazard only applies to the first byte of the location.

GCC can take advantage of this, assuming that other portions of the
location are unchanged, as demonstrated with the following test case:

union u {
	unsigned long l;
	unsigned int i[2];
};

unsigned long update_char_hazard(union u *u)
{
	unsigned int a, b;

	a = u-&gt;i[1];
	asm ("str %1, %0" : "+Q" (*(char *)&amp;u-&gt;l) : "r" (0UL));
	b = u-&gt;i[1];

	return a ^ b;
}

unsigned long update_long_hazard(union u *u)
{
	unsigned int a, b;

	a = u-&gt;i[1];
	asm ("str %1, %0" : "+Q" (*(long *)&amp;u-&gt;l) : "r" (0UL));
	b = u-&gt;i[1];

	return a ^ b;
}

The linaro 15.08 GCC 5.1.1 toolchain compiles the above as follows when
using -O2 or above:

0000000000000000 &lt;update_char_hazard&gt;:
   0:	d2800001 	mov	x1, #0x0                   	// #0
   4:	f9000001 	str	x1, [x0]
   8:	d2800000 	mov	x0, #0x0                   	// #0
   c:	d65f03c0 	ret

0000000000000010 &lt;update_long_hazard&gt;:
  10:	b9400401 	ldr	w1, [x0,#4]
  14:	d2800002 	mov	x2, #0x0                   	// #0
  18:	f9000002 	str	x2, [x0]
  1c:	b9400400 	ldr	w0, [x0,#4]
  20:	4a000020 	eor	w0, w1, w0
  24:	d65f03c0 	ret

This patch fixes the issue by passing an unsigned long pointer into the
+Q constraint, as we do for our cmpxchg code. This may hazard against
more than is necessary, but this is better than missing a necessary
hazard.

commit c667186f1c01ca8970c785888868b7ffd74e51ee upstream.

Our 32bit CP14/15 handling inherited some of the ARMv7 code for handling
the trapped system registers, completely missing the fact that the
fields for Rt and Rt2 are now 5 bit wide, and not 4...

Let's fix it, and provide an accessor for the most common Rt case.

<title>arm64: Improve detection of user/non-user mappings in set_pte(_at)</title>

commit ec663d967b2276448a416406ca59ff247c0c80c5 upstream.

Commit cab15ce604e5 ("arm64: Introduce execute-only page access
permissions") allowed a valid user PTE to have the PTE_USER bit clear.
As a consequence, the pte_valid_not_user() macro in set_pte() was
replaced with pte_valid_global() under the assumption that only user
pages have the nG bit set. EFI mappings, however, also have the nG bit
set and set_pte() wrongly ignores issuing the DSB+ISB.

This patch reinstates the pte_valid_not_user() macro and adds the
PTE_UXN bit check since all kernel mappings have this bit set. For
clarity, pte_exec() is renamed to pte_user_exec() as it only checks for
the absence of PTE_UXN. Consequently, the user executable check in
set_pte_at() drops the pte_ng() test since pte_user_exec() is
sufficient.
