arm64: errata: add module build workaround for erratum #843419

2015-09-30T09:00:04+00:00

commit df057cc7b4fa59e9b55f07ffdb6c62bf02e99a00 upstream.

Cortex-A53 processors <= r0p4 are affected by erratum #843419 which can
lead to a memory access using an incorrect address in certain sequences
headed by an ADRP instruction.

There is a linker fix to generate veneers for ADRP instructions, but
this doesn't work for kernel modules which are built as unlinked ELF
objects.

This patch adds a new config option for the erratum which, when enabled,
builds kernel modules with the mcmodel=large flag. This uses absolute
addressing for all kernel symbols, thereby removing the use of ADRP as
a PC-relative form of addressing. The ADRP relocs are removed from the
module loader so that we fail to load any potentially affected modules.

arm64: head.S: initialise mdcr_el2 in el2_setup

2015-09-30T09:00:03+00:00

commit d10bcd473301888f957ec4b6b12aa3621be78d59 upstream.

When entering the kernel at EL2, we fail to initialise the MDCR_EL2
register which controls debug access and PMU capabilities at EL1.

This patch ensures that the register is initialised so that all traps
are disabled and all the PMU counters are available to the host. When a
guest is scheduled, KVM takes care to configure trapping appropriately.

arm64: compat: fix vfp save/restore across signal handlers in big-endian

2015-09-30T09:00:03+00:00

commit bdec97a855ef1e239f130f7a11584721c9a1bf04 upstream.

When saving/restoring the VFP registers from a compat (AArch32)
signal frame, we rely on the compat registers forming a prefix of the
native register file and therefore make use of copy_{to,from}_user to
transfer between the native fpsimd_state and the compat_vfp_sigframe.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work so well in a big-endian environment.
Our fpsimd save/restore code operates directly on 128-bit quantities
(Q registers) whereas the compat_vfp_sigframe represents the registers
as an array of 64-bit (D) registers. The architecture packs the compat D
registers into the Q registers, with the least significant bytes holding
the lower register. Consequently, we need to swap the 64-bit halves when
converting between these two representations on a big-endian machine.

This patch replaces the __copy_{to,from}_user invocations in our
compat VFP signal handling code with explicit __put_user loops that
operate on 64-bit values and swap them accordingly.

signal: fix information leak in copy_siginfo_from_user32

2015-08-25T14:57:04+00:00

commit 3c00cb5e68dc719f2fc73a33b1b230aadfcb1309 upstream.

This function can leak kernel stack data when the user siginfo_t has a
positive si_code value.  The top 16 bits of si_code descibe which fields
in the siginfo_t union are active, but they are treated inconsistently
between copy_siginfo_from_user32, copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
copy_siginfo_to_user.

copy_siginfo_from_user32 is called from rt_sigqueueinfo and
rt_tgsigqueueinfo in which the user has full control overthe top 16 bits
of si_code.

This fixes the following information leaks:
x86:   8 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to
       itself. This leak grows to 16 bytes if the process uses x32.
       (si_code = __SI_CHLD)
x86:   100 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to
       a 64-bit process. (si_code = -1)
sparc: 4 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to a
       64-bit process. (si_code = any)

parsic and s390 have similar bugs, but they are not vulnerable because
rt_[tg]sigqueueinfo have checks that prevent sending a positive si_code
to a different process.  These bugs are also fixed for consistency.

signal: fix information leak in copy_siginfo_to_user

2015-08-25T14:57:03+00:00

commit 26135022f85105ad725cda103fa069e29e83bd16 upstream.

This function may copy the si_addr_lsb, si_lower and si_upper fields to
user mode when they haven't been initialized, which can leak kernel
stack data to user mode.

Just checking the value of si_code is insufficient because the same
si_code value is shared between multiple signals.  This is solved by
checking the value of si_signo in addition to si_code.

arm64: vdso: work-around broken ELF toolchains in Makefile

2015-07-30T12:10:49+00:00

commit 6f1a6ae87c0c60d7c462ef8fd071f291aa7a9abb upstream.

When building the kernel with a bare-metal (ELF) toolchain, the -shared
option may not be passed down to collect2, resulting in silent corruption
of the vDSO image (in particular, the DYNAMIC section is omitted).

The effect of this corruption is that the dynamic linker fails to find
the vDSO symbols and libc is instead used for the syscalls that we
intended to optimise (e.g. gettimeofday). Functionally, there is no
issue as the sigreturn trampoline is still intact and located by the
kernel.

This patch fixes the problem by explicitly passing -shared to the linker
when building the vDSO.

arm64: vdso: fix build error when switching from LE to BE

2015-05-04T09:50:04+00:00

commit 1915e2ad1cf548217c963121e4076b3d44dd0169 upstream.

Building a kernel with CPU_BIG_ENDIAN fails if there are stale objects
from a !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN build. Due to a missing FORCE prerequisite on an
if_changed rule in the VDSO Makefile, we attempt to link a stale LE
object into the new BE kernel.

According to Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt, FORCE is required for
if_changed rules and forgetting it is a common mistake, so fix it by
'Forcing' the build of vdso. This patch fixes build errors like these:

arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/note.o: compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian
failed to merge target specific data of file arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/note.o

arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/sigreturn.o: compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian

arm64: compat Fix siginfo_t -> compat_siginfo_t conversion on big endian

2015-03-05T14:37:01+00:00

commit 9d42d48a342aee208c1154696196497fdc556bbf upstream.

The native (64-bit) sigval_t union contains sival_int (32-bit) and
sival_ptr (64-bit). When a compat application invokes a syscall that
takes a sigval_t value (as part of a larger structure, e.g.
compat_sys_mq_notify, compat_sys_timer_create), the compat_sigval_t
union is converted to the native sigval_t with sival_int overlapping
with either the least or the most significant half of sival_ptr,
depending on endianness. When the corresponding signal is delivered to a
compat application, on big endian the current (compat_uptr_t)sival_ptr
cast always returns 0 since sival_int corresponds to the top part of
sival_ptr. This patch fixes copy_siginfo_to_user32() so that sival_int
is copied to the compat_siginfo_t structure.

arm64: Fix up /proc/cpuinfo

2015-02-08T16:44:18+00:00

commit 44b82b7700d05a52cd983799d3ecde1a976b3bed upstream.

[backport to 3.12.x: fold in missing MIDR_EL1 recording]

Commit d7a49086f263164a (arm64: cpuinfo: print info for all CPUs)
attempted to clean up /proc/cpuinfo, but due to concerns regarding
further changes was reverted in commit 5e39977edf6500fd (Revert "arm64:
cpuinfo: print info for all CPUs").

There are two major issues with the arm64 /proc/cpuinfo format
currently:

* The "Features" line describes (only) the 64-bit hwcaps, which is
  problematic for some 32-bit applications which attempt to parse it. As
  the same names are used for analogous ISA features (e.g. aes) despite
  these generally being architecturally unrelated, it is not possible to
  simply append the 64-bit and 32-bit hwcaps in a manner that might not
  be misleading to some applications.

  Various potential solutions have appeared in vendor kernels. Typically
  the format of the Features line varies depending on whether the task
  is 32-bit.

* Information is only printed regarding a single CPU. This does not
  match the ARM format, and does not provide sufficient information in
  big.LITTLE systems where CPUs are heterogeneous. The CPU information
  printed is queried from the current CPU's registers, which is racy
  w.r.t. cross-cpu migration.

This patch attempts to solve these issues. The following changes are
made:

* When a task with a LINUX32 personality attempts to read /proc/cpuinfo,
  the "Features" line contains the decoded 32-bit hwcaps, as with the
  arm port. Otherwise, the decoded 64-bit hwcaps are shown. This aligns
  with the behaviour of COMPAT_UTS_MACHINE and COMPAT_ELF_PLATFORM. In
  the absense of compat support, the Features line is empty.

  The set of hwcaps injected into a task's auxval are unaffected.

* Properties are printed per-cpu, as with the ARM port. The per-cpu
  information is queried from pre-recorded cpu information (as used by
  the sanity checks).

* As with the previous attempt at fixing up /proc/cpuinfo, the hardware
  field is removed. The only users so far are 32-bit applications tied
  to particular boards, so no portable applications should be affected,
  and this should prevent future tying to particular boards.

The following differences remain:

* No model_name is printed, as this cannot be queried from the hardware
  and cannot be provided in a stable fashion. Use of the CPU
  {implementor,variant,part,revision} fields is sufficient to identify a
  CPU and is portable across arm and arm64.

* The following system-wide properties are not provided, as they are not
  possible to provide generally. Programs relying on these are already
  tied to particular (32-bit only) boards:
  - Hardware
  - Revision
  - Serial

No software has yet been identified for which these remaining
differences are problematic.

arm64: ptrace: fix compat hardware watchpoint reporting

2014-10-13T12:25:32+00:00

commit 27d7ff273c2aad37b28f6ff0cab2cfa35b51e648 upstream.

I'm not sure what I was on when I wrote this, but when iterating over
the hardware watchpoint array (hbp_watch_array), our index is off by
ARM_MAX_BRP, so we walk off the end of our thread_struct...

... except, a dodgy condition in the loop means that it never executes
at all (bp cannot be NULL).

This patch fixes the code so that we remove the bp check and use the
correct index for accessing the watchpoint structures.
