parisc: Fix validity check of pointer size argument in new CAS implementation

2017-11-30T08:39:08+00:00

commit 05f016d2ca7a4fab99d5d5472168506ddf95e74f upstream.

As noted by Christoph Biedl, passing a pointer size of 4 in the new CAS
implementation causes a kernel crash.  The attached patch corrects the
off by one error in the argument validity check.

In reviewing the code, I noticed that we only perform word operations
with the pointer size argument.  The subi instruction intentionally uses
a word condition on 64-bit kernels.  Nullification was used instead of a
cmpib instruction as the branch should never be taken.  The shlw
pseudo-operation generates a depw,z instruction and it clears the target
before doing a shift left word deposit.  Thus, we don't need to clip the
upper 32 bits of this argument on 64-bit kernels.

Tested with a gcc testsuite run with a 64-bit kernel.  The gcc atomic
code in libgcc is the only direct user of the new CAS implementation
that I am aware of.

parisc: Fix double-word compare and exchange in LWS code on 32-bit kernels

2017-10-27T08:38:06+00:00

commit 374b3bf8e8b519f61eb9775888074c6e46b3bf0c upstream.

As discussed on the debian-hppa list, double-wordcompare and exchange
operations fail on 32-bit kernels.  Looking at the code, I realized that
the ",ma" completer does the wrong thing in the  "ldw,ma  4(%r26), %r29"
instruction.  This increments %r26 and causes the following store to
write to the wrong location.

Note by Helge Deller:
The patch applies cleanly to stable kernel series if this upstream

This patch modifies flush_cache_range() to handle non current contexts.
In as much as this occurs infrequently, the simplest approach is to
flush the entire cache when this happens.

parisc: Prevent TLB speculation on flushed pages on CPUs that only support equivalent aliases

2017-08-07T01:59:39+00:00

commit ae7a609c34b6fb12328c553b5f9aab26ae74a28e upstream.

Helge noticed that we flush the TLB page in flush_cache_page but not in
flush_cache_range or flush_cache_mm.

For a long time, we have had random segmentation faults building
packages on machines with PA8800/8900 processors.  These machines only
support equivalent aliases.  We don't see these faults on machines that
don't require strict coherency.  So, it appears TLB speculation
sometimes leads to cache corruption on machines that require coherency.

This patch adds TLB flushes to flush_cache_range and flush_cache_mm when
coherency is required.  We only flush the TLB in flush_cache_page when
coherency is required.

The patch also optimizes flush_cache_range.  It turns out we always have
the right context to use flush_user_dcache_range_asm and
flush_user_icache_range_asm.

The patch has been tested for some time on rp3440, rp3410 and A500-44.
It's been boot tested on c8000.  No random segmentation faults were
observed during testing.

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas

2017-06-24T05:11:18+00:00

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

loop for systems which don't provide a software power off function.  But the
soft lockup detector will detect this and report stalled CPUs after some time.
Avoid those unwanted warnings by disabling the soft lockup detector.
