mm: Add fault_in_subpage_writeable() to probe at sub-page granularity

2022-04-25T09:25:43+00:00

On hardware with features like arm64 MTE or SPARC ADI, an access fault
can be triggered at sub-page granularity. Depending on how the
fault_in_writeable() function is used, the caller can get into a
live-lock by continuously retrying the fault-in on an address different
from the one where the uaccess failed.

In the majority of cases progress is ensured by the following
conditions:

1. copy_to_user_nofault() guarantees at least one byte access if the
   user address is not faulting.

2. The fault_in_writeable() loop is resumed from the first address that
   could not be accessed by copy_to_user_nofault().

If the loop iteration is restarted from an earlier (initial) point, the
loop is repeated with the same conditions and it would live-lock.

Introduce an arch-specific probe_subpage_writeable() and call it from
the newly added fault_in_subpage_writeable() function. The arch code
with sub-page faults will have to implement the specific probing
functionality.

Note that no other fault_in_subpage_*() functions are added since they
have no callers currently susceptible to a live-lock.

Merge tag 'asm-generic-5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic

2022-03-24T01:03:08+00:00

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "There are three sets of updates for 5.18 in the asm-generic tree:

   - The set_fs()/get_fs() infrastructure gets removed for good.

     This was already gone from all major architectures, but now we can
     finally remove it everywhere, which loses some particularly tricky
     and error-prone code. There is a small merge conflict against a
     parisc cleanup, the solution is to use their new version.

   - The nds32 architecture ends its tenure in the Linux kernel.

     The hardware is still used and the code is in reasonable shape, but
     the mainline port is not actively maintained any more, as all
     remaining users are thought to run vendor kernels that would never
     be updated to a future release.

   - A series from Masahiro Yamada cleans up some of the uapi header
     files to pass the compile-time checks"

uaccess: remove CONFIG_SET_FS

2022-02-25T08:36:06+00:00

There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so CONFIG_SET_FS
can be removed globally, along with the thread_info field and
any references to it.

This turns access_ok() into a cheaper check against TASK_SIZE_MAX.

As CONFIG_SET_FS is now gone, drop all remaining references to
set_fs()/get_fs(), mm_segment_t, user_addr_max() and uaccess_kernel().

uaccess: generalize access_ok()

2022-02-25T08:36:05+00:00

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.

uaccess: add generic __{get,put}_kernel_nofault

2022-02-25T08:36:05+00:00

Nine architectures are still missing __{get,put}_kernel_nofault:
alpha, ia64, microblaze, nds32, nios2, openrisc, sh, sparc32, xtensa.

Add a generic version that lets everything use the normal
copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofault() code based on these, removing the last
use of get_fs()/set_fs() from architecture-independent code.

arch: remove compat_alloc_user_space

2021-09-08T22:32:35+00:00

All users of compat_alloc_user_space() and copy_in_user() have been
removed from the kernel, only a few functions in sparc remain that can be
changed to calling arch_copy_in_user() instead.

signal: Add unsafe_get_compat_sigset()

2021-04-03T10:22:18+00:00

In the same way as commit 14026b94ccfe ("signal: Add
unsafe_put_compat_sigset()"), this time add
unsafe_get_compat_sigset() macro which is the 'unsafe'
version of get_compat_sigset()

For the bigendian, use unsafe_get_user() directly
to avoid intermediate copy through the stack.

For the littleendian, use a straight unsafe_copy_from_user().

This commit adds the generic fallback for unsafe_copy_from_user().
Architectures wanting to use unsafe_get_compat_sigset() have to
make sure they have their own unsafe_copy_from_user().
