<title>s390/unwind: avoid duplicated unwinding entries for kretprobes</title>

Currently when unwinding starts from pt_regs or encounters pt_regs along
the way unwinder tries to yield 2 unwinding entries:
1. (reliable)     ip1: pt_regs-&gt;psw.addr,  sp1: regs-&gt;gprs[15]
2. (non-reliable) ip2: sp1-&gt;gprs[8] (r14), sp2: regs-&gt;gprs[15]

In case of kretprobes those are identical and serves no other purpose
than causing confusion over duplicated entries and cause kprobes tests
to fail. So, skip a duplicate non-reliable entry in this case.

With that kretprobes and unwinder implementation now comply with
ARCH_CORRECT_STACKTRACE_ON_KRETPROBE.

Machine generations up to z9 (released in May 2006) have been officially
out of service for several years now (z9 end of service - January 31, 2019).
No distributions build kernels supporting those old machine generations
anymore, except Debian, which seems to pick the oldest supported
generation. The team supporting Debian on s390 has been notified about
the change.

Raising minimum supported machine generation to z10 helps to reduce
maintenance cost and effectively remove code, which is not getting
enough testing coverage due to lack of older hardware and distributions
support. Besides that this unblocks some optimization opportunities and
allows to use wider instruction set in asm files for future features
implementation. Due to this change spectre mitigation and usercopy
implementations could be drastically simplified and many newer instructions
could be converted from ".insn" encoding to instruction names.

Currently with -mindirect-branch=thunk and -mfunction-return=thunk compiler
options expoline thunks are put into individual COMDAT group sections. s390
is the only architecture which has group sections and it has implications
for kpatch and objtool tools support.

Using -mindirect-branch=thunk-extern and -mfunction-return=thunk-extern
is an alternative, which comes with a need to generate all required
expoline thunks manually. Unfortunately modules area is too far away from
the kernel image, and expolines from the kernel image cannon be used.
But since all new distributions (except Debian) build kernels for machine
generations newer than z10, where "exrl" instruction is available, that
leaves only 16 expolines thunks possible.

Provide an option to build the kernel with
-mindirect-branch=thunk-extern and -mfunction-return=thunk-extern for
z10 or newer. This also requires to postlink expoline thunks into all
modules explicitly. Currently modules already contain most expolines
anyhow.

Unfortunately -mindirect-branch=thunk-extern and
-mfunction-return=thunk-extern options support is broken in gcc &lt;= 11.2.
Additional compile test is required to verify proper gcc support.

<title>usercopy: Check valid lifetime via stack depth</title>

<id>2792d84e6da5e0fd7d3b22fd70bc69b7ee263609</id>
<content type='text'>
One of the things that CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY sanity-checks is whether
an object that is about to be copied to/from userspace is overlapping
the stack at all. If it is, it performs a number of inexpensive
bounds checks. One of the finer-grained checks is whether an object
crosses stack frames within the stack region. Doing this on x86 with
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER was cheap/easy. Doing it with ORC was deemed too
heavy, and was left out (a while ago), leaving the courser whole-stack
check.

The LKDTM tests USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO and USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM
try to exercise these cross-frame cases to validate the defense is
working. They have been failing ever since ORC was added (which was
expected). While Muhammad was investigating various LKDTM failures[1],
he asked me for additional details on them, and I realized that when
exact stack frame boundary checking is not available (i.e. everything
except x86 with FRAME_POINTER), it could check if a stack object is at
least "current depth valid", in the sense that any object within the
stack region but not between start-of-stack and current_stack_pointer
should be considered unavailable (i.e. its lifetime is from a call no
longer present on the stack).

Introduce ARCH_HAS_CURRENT_STACK_POINTER to track which architectures
have actually implemented the common global register alias.

Additionally report usercopy bounds checking failures with an offset
from current_stack_pointer, which may assist with diagnosing failures.

The LKDTM USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO and USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM tests
(once slightly adjusted in a separate patch) pass again with this fixed.

One of the things that CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY sanity-checks is whether
an object that is about to be copied to/from userspace is overlapping
the stack at all. If it is, it performs a number of inexpensive
bounds checks. One of the finer-grained checks is whether an object
crosses stack frames within the stack region. Doing this on x86 with
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER was cheap/easy. Doing it with ORC was deemed too
heavy, and was left out (a while ago), leaving the courser whole-stack
check.

The LKDTM tests USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO and USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM
try to exercise these cross-frame cases to validate the defense is
working. They have been failing ever since ORC was added (which was
expected). While Muhammad was investigating various LKDTM failures[1],
he asked me for additional details on them, and I realized that when
exact stack frame boundary checking is not available (i.e. everything
except x86 with FRAME_POINTER), it could check if a stack object is at
least "current depth valid", in the sense that any object within the
stack region but not between start-of-stack and current_stack_pointer
should be considered unavailable (i.e. its lifetime is from a call no
longer present on the stack).

Introduce ARCH_HAS_CURRENT_STACK_POINTER to track which architectures
have actually implemented the common global register alias.

Additionally report usercopy bounds checking failures with an offset
from current_stack_pointer, which may assist with diagnosing failures.

The LKDTM USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO and USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM tests
(once slightly adjusted in a separate patch) pass again with this fixed.

<title>uaccess: generalize access_ok()</title>

There are many different ways that access_ok() is defined across
architectures, but in the end, they all just compare against the
user_addr_max() value or they accept anything.

Provide one definition that works for most architectures, checking
against TASK_SIZE_MAX for user processes or skipping the check inside
of uaccess_kernel() sections.

For architectures without CONFIG_SET_FS(), this should be the fastest
check, as it comes down to a single comparison of a pointer against a
compile-time constant, while the architecture specific versions tend to
do something more complex for historic reasons or get something wrong.

Type checking for __user annotations is handled inconsistently across
architectures, but this is easily simplified as well by using an inline
function that takes a 'const void __user *' argument. A handful of
callers need an extra __user annotation for this.

Some architectures had trick to use 33-bit or 65-bit arithmetic on the
addresses to calculate the overflow, however this simpler version uses
fewer registers, which means it can produce better object code in the
end despite needing a second (statically predicted) branch.
