commit 9d89d9e61d361f3adb75e1aebe4bb367faf16cfa upstream.

Newer machines might use a different (larger) format for function
measurement blocks. To ensure that we comply with the alignment
requirement on these machines and prevent memory corruption (when
firmware writes more data than we expect) add 16 padding bytes
at the end of the fmb.

The function measurement block must not cross a page boundary. Ensure
that by raising the alignment requirement to the smallest power of 2

commit 8f100bb1ff27873dd71f636da670e503b9ade3c6 upstream.

Add the missing lpp magic initialization for cpu 0. Without this all
samples on cpu 0 do not have the most significant bit set in the
program parameter field, which we use to distinguish between guest and
host samples if the pid is also 0.

We did initialize the lpp magic in the absolute zero lowcore but
forgot that when switching to the allocated lowcore on cpu 0 only.

commit e370e4769463a65dcf8806fa26d2874e0542ac41 upstream.

There is a tricky interaction between the machine check handler
and the critical sections of load_fpu_regs and save_fpu_regs
functions. If the machine check interrupts one of the two
functions the critical section cleanup will complete the function
before the machine check handler s390_do_machine_check is called.
Trouble is that the machine check handler needs to validate the
floating point registers *before* and not *after* the completion
of load_fpu_regs/save_fpu_regs.

The simplest solution is to rewind the PSW to the start of the
load_fpu_regs/save_fpu_regs and retry the function after the
return from the machine check handler.

commit 7a76aa95f6f6682db5629449d763251d1c9f8c4e upstream.

we have to check bit 40 of the facility list before issuing LPP
and not bit 48. Otherwise a guest running on a system with
"The decimal-floating-point zoned-conversion facility" and without
the "The set-program-parameters facility" might crash on an lpp
instruction.

<title>s390/mm: four page table levels vs. fork</title>

commit 3446c13b268af86391d06611327006b059b8bab1 upstream.

The fork of a process with four page table levels is broken since
git commit 6252d702c5311ce9 "[S390] dynamic page tables."

All new mm contexts are created with three page table levels and
an asce limit of 4TB. If the parent has four levels dup_mmap will
add vmas to the new context which are outside of the asce limit.
The subsequent call to copy_page_range will walk the three level
page table structure of the new process with non-zero pgd and pud
indexes. This leads to memory clobbers as the pgd_index *and* the
pud_index is added to the mm-&gt;pgd pointer without a pgd_deref
in between.

The init_new_context() function is selecting the number of page
table levels for a new context. The function is used by mm_init()
which in turn is called by dup_mm() and mm_alloc(). These two are
used by fork() and exec(). The init_new_context() function can
distinguish the two cases by looking at mm-&gt;context.asce_limit,
for fork() the mm struct has been copied and the number of page
table levels may not change. For exec() the mm_alloc() function
set the new mm structure to zero, in this case a three-level page
table is created as the temporary stack space is located at
STACK_TOP_MAX = 4TB.

This fixes CVE-2016-2143.

commit 9522b37f5a8c7bfabe46eecadf2e130f1103f337 upstream.

With MACHINE_HAS_VX, we convert the floating point registers from the
vector registeres when storing the status. For other VCPUs, these are
stored to vcpu-&gt;run-&gt;s.regs.vrs, but we are using current-&gt;thread.fpu.vxrs,
which resolves to the currently loaded VCPU.

So kvm_s390_store_status_unloaded() currently writes the wrong floating
point registers (converted from the vector registers) when called from
another VCPU on a z13.

This is only the case for old user space not handling SIGP STORE STATUS and
SIGP STOP AND STORE STATUS, but relying on the kernel implementation. All
other calls come from the loaded VCPU via kvm_s390_store_status().

git commit 8070361799ae1e3f4ef347bd10f0a508ac10acfb
"s390: add support for vector extension"
broke 31-bit compat processes in regard to signal handling.

The restore_sigregs_ext32() function is used to restore the additional
elements from the user space signal frame. Among the additional elements
are the upper registers halves for 64-bit register support for 31-bit
processes. The copy_from_user that is used to retrieve the high-gprs
array from the user stack uses an incorrect length, 8 bytes instead of
64 bytes. This causes incorrect upper register halves to get loaded.

commit bcb7825a77f41c7dd91da6f7ac10b928156a322e upstream.

The normalization pass in the sorting routine of the relative exception
table serves two purposes:
- it ensures that the address fields of the exception table entries are
  fully ordered, so that no ambiguities arise between entries with
  identical instruction offsets (i.e., when two instructions that are
  exactly 8 bytes apart each have an exception table entry associated with
  them)
- it ensures that the offsets of both the instruction and the fixup fields
  of each entry are relative to their final location after sorting.

Commit eb608fb366de ("s390/exceptions: switch to relative exception table
entries") ported the relative exception table format from x86, but modified
the sorting routine to only normalize the instruction offset field and not
the fixup offset field. The result is that the fixup offset of each entry
will be relative to the original location of the entry before sorting,
likely leading to crashes when those entries are dereferenced.
