Pull hardened usercopy whitelisting from Kees Cook:
 "Currently, hardened usercopy performs dynamic bounds checking on slab
  cache objects. This is good, but still leaves a lot of kernel memory
  available to be copied to/from userspace in the face of bugs.

  To further restrict what memory is available for copying, this creates
  a way to whitelist specific areas of a given slab cache object for
  copying to/from userspace, allowing much finer granularity of access
  control.

  Slab caches that are never exposed to userspace can declare no
  whitelist for their objects, thereby keeping them unavailable to
  userspace via dynamic copy operations. (Note, an implicit form of
  whitelisting is the use of constant sizes in usercopy operations and
  get_user()/put_user(); these bypass all hardened usercopy checks since
  these sizes cannot change at runtime.)

  This new check is WARN-by-default, so any mistakes can be found over
  the next several releases without breaking anyone's system.

  The series has roughly the following sections:
   - remove %p and improve reporting with offset
   - prepare infrastructure and whitelist kmalloc
   - update VFS subsystem with whitelists
   - update SCSI subsystem with whitelists
   - update network subsystem with whitelists
   - update process memory with whitelists

<title>mm, mmu_notifier: annotate mmu notifiers with blockable invalidate callbacks</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 4d4bbd8526a8 ("mm, oom_reaper: skip mm structs with mmu
notifiers") prevented the oom reaper from unmapping private anonymous
memory with the oom reaper when the oom victim mm had mmu notifiers
registered.

The rationale is that doing mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}()
around the unmap_page_range(), which is needed, can block and the oom
killer will stall forever waiting for the victim to exit, which may not
be possible without reaping.

That concern is real, but only true for mmu notifiers that have
blockable invalidate_range_{start,end}() callbacks.  This patch adds a
"flags" field to mmu notifier ops that can set a bit to indicate that
these callbacks do not block.

The implementation is steered toward an expensive slowpath, such as
after the oom reaper has grabbed mm-&gt;mmap_sem of a still alive oom
victim.

[rientjes@google.com: mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() can also call the invalidate_range() must not block, fix comment]

<title>kvm: embed vcpu id to dentry of vcpu anon inode</title>

<id>e46b469278a59781f9b25ff608af84892963821b</id>

All d-entries for vcpu have the same, "anon_inode:kvm-vcpu". That means
it is impossible to know the mapping between fds for vcpu and vcpu
from userland.

    # LC_ALL=C ls -l /proc/617/fd | grep vcpu
    lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan  7 16:50 18 -&gt; anon_inode:kvm-vcpu
    lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan  7 16:50 19 -&gt; anon_inode:kvm-vcpu

It is also impossible to know the mapping between vma for kvm_run
structure and vcpu from userland.

    # LC_ALL=C grep vcpu /proc/617/maps
    7f9d842d0000-7f9d842d3000 rw-s 00000000 00:0d 20393                      anon_inode:kvm-vcpu
    7f9d842d3000-7f9d842d6000 rw-s 00000000 00:0d 20393                      anon_inode:kvm-vcpu

This change adds vcpu id to d-entries for vcpu. With this change
you can get the following output:

    # LC_ALL=C ls -l /proc/617/fd | grep vcpu
    lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan  7 16:50 18 -&gt; anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0
    lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan  7 16:50 19 -&gt; anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:1

    # LC_ALL=C grep vcpu /proc/617/maps
    7f9d842d0000-7f9d842d3000 rw-s 00000000 00:0d 20393                      anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0
    7f9d842d3000-7f9d842d6000 rw-s 00000000 00:0d 20393                      anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:1

With the mappings known from the output, a tool like strace can report more details
of qemu-kvm process activities. Here is the strace output of my local prototype:

    # ./strace -KK -f -p 617 2&gt;&amp;1 | grep 'KVM_RUN\| K'
    ...
    [pid   664] ioctl(18, KVM_RUN, 0)       = 0 (KVM_EXIT_MMIO)

All d-entries for vcpu have the same, "anon_inode:kvm-vcpu". That means
it is impossible to know the mapping between fds for vcpu and vcpu
from userland.

    # LC_ALL=C ls -l /proc/617/fd | grep vcpu
    lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan  7 16:50 18 -&gt; anon_inode:kvm-vcpu
    lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan  7 16:50 19 -&gt; anon_inode:kvm-vcpu

It is also impossible to know the mapping between vma for kvm_run
structure and vcpu from userland.

    # LC_ALL=C grep vcpu /proc/617/maps
    7f9d842d0000-7f9d842d3000 rw-s 00000000 00:0d 20393                      anon_inode:kvm-vcpu
    7f9d842d3000-7f9d842d6000 rw-s 00000000 00:0d 20393                      anon_inode:kvm-vcpu

This change adds vcpu id to d-entries for vcpu. With this change
you can get the following output:

    # LC_ALL=C ls -l /proc/617/fd | grep vcpu
    lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan  7 16:50 18 -&gt; anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0
    lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan  7 16:50 19 -&gt; anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:1

    # LC_ALL=C grep vcpu /proc/617/maps
    7f9d842d0000-7f9d842d3000 rw-s 00000000 00:0d 20393                      anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0
    7f9d842d3000-7f9d842d6000 rw-s 00000000 00:0d 20393                      anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:1

With the mappings known from the output, a tool like strace can report more details
of qemu-kvm process activities. Here is the strace output of my local prototype:

    # ./strace -KK -f -p 617 2&gt;&amp;1 | grep 'KVM_RUN\| K'
    ...
    [pid   664] ioctl(18, KVM_RUN, 0)       = 0 (KVM_EXIT_MMIO)
     K ready_for_interrupt_injection=1, if_flag=0, flags=0, cr8=0000000000000000, apic_base=0x000000fee00d00
     K phys_addr=0, len=1634035803, [33, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], is_write=112
    [pid   664] ioctl(18, KVM_RUN, 0)       = 0 (KVM_EXIT_MMIO)
     K ready_for_interrupt_injection=1, if_flag=1, flags=0, cr8=0000000000000000, apic_base=0x000000fee00d00
     K phys_addr=0, len=1634035803, [33, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], is_write=112

<title>kvm: Map PFN-type memory regions as writable (if possible)</title>

For EPT-violations that are triggered by a read, the pages are also mapped with
write permissions (if their memory region is also writable). That would avoid
getting yet another fault on the same page when a write occurs.

This optimization only happens when you have a "struct page" backing the memory
region. So also enable it for memory regions that do not have a "struct page".

On x86, ARM and s390, struct kvm_vcpu_arch has a usercopy region
that is read and written by the KVM_GET/SET_CPUID2 ioctls (x86)
or KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG (ARM/s390).  Without whitelisting the area,
KVM is completely broken on those architectures with usercopy hardening
enabled.

For now, allow writing to the entire struct on all architectures.
The KVM tree will not refine this to an architecture-specific
subset of struct kvm_vcpu_arch.

<title>KVM: introduce kvm_arch_vcpu_async_ioctl</title>

After the vcpu_load/vcpu_put pushdown, the handling of asynchronous VCPU
ioctl is already much clearer in that it is obvious that they bypass
vcpu_load and vcpu_put.

However, it is still not perfect in that the different state of the VCPU
mutex is still hidden in the caller.  Separate those ioctls into a new
function kvm_arch_vcpu_async_ioctl that returns -ENOIOCTLCMD for more
"traditional" synchronous ioctls.

Move the calls to vcpu_load() and vcpu_put() in to the architecture
specific implementations of kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl() which dispatches
further architecture-specific ioctls on to other functions.

Some architectures support asynchronous vcpu ioctls which cannot call
vcpu_load() or take the vcpu-&gt;mutex, because that would prevent
concurrent execution with a running VCPU, which is the intended purpose
of these ioctls, for example because they inject interrupts.

We repeat the separate checks for these specifics in the architecture
code for MIPS, S390 and PPC, and avoid taking the vcpu-&gt;mutex and
calling vcpu_load for these ioctls.
