When in userspace and MSR FP=0 the hardware FP state is unrelated to
the current process. This is extended for transactions where if tbegin
is run with FP=0, the hardware checkpoint FP state will also be
unrelated to the current process. Due to this, we need to ensure this
hardware checkpoint is updated with the correct state before we enable
FP for this process.
Unfortunately we get this wrong when returning to a process from a
hardware interrupt. A process that starts a transaction with FP=0 can
take an interrupt. When the kernel returns back to that process, we
change to FP=1 but with hardware checkpoint FP state not updated. If
this transaction is then rolled back, the FP registers now contain the
wrong state.
The process looks like this:
Userspace: Kernel
Start userspace
with MSR FP=0 TM=1
< -----
...
tbegin
bne
Hardware interrupt
---- >
<do_IRQ...>
....
ret_from_except
restore_math()
/* sees FP=0 */
restore_fp()
tm_active_with_fp()
/* sees FP=1 (Incorrect) */
load_fp_state()
FP = 0 -> 1
< -----
Return to userspace
with MSR TM=1 FP=1
with junk in the FP TM checkpoint
TM rollback
reads FP junk
When returning from the hardware exception, tm_active_with_fp() is
incorrectly making restore_fp() call load_fp_state() which is setting
FP=1.
The fix is to remove tm_active_with_fp().
tm_active_with_fp() is attempting to handle the case where FP state
has been changed inside a transaction. In this case the checkpointed
and transactional FP state is different and hence we must restore the
FP state (ie. we can't do lazy FP restore inside a transaction that's
used FP). It's safe to remove tm_active_with_fp() as this case is
handled by restore_tm_state(). restore_tm_state() detects if FP has
been using inside a transaction and will set load_fp and call
restore_math() to ensure the FP state (checkpoint and transaction) is
restored.
This is a data integrity problem for the current process as the FP
registers are corrupted. It's also a security problem as the FP
registers from one process may be leaked to another.
Similarly for VMX.
A simple testcase to replicate this will be posted to
tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/tm/tm-poison.c
This fixes CVE-2019-15031.

When we take an FP unavailable exception in a transaction we have to
account for the hardware FP TM checkpointed registers being
incorrect. In this case for this process we know the current and
checkpointed FP registers must be the same (since FP wasn't used
inside the transaction) hence in the thread_struct we copy the current
FP registers to the checkpointed ones.
This copy is done in tm_reclaim_thread(). We use thread->ckpt_regs.msr
to determine if FP was on when in userspace. thread->ckpt_regs.msr
represents the state of the MSR when exiting userspace. This is setup
by check_if_tm_restore_required().
Unfortunatley there is an optimisation in giveup_all() which returns
early if tsk->thread.regs->msr (via local variable `usermsr`) has
FP=VEC=VSX=SPE=0. This optimisation means that
check_if_tm_restore_required() is not called and hence
thread->ckpt_regs.msr is not updated and will contain an old value.
This can happen if due to load_fp=255 we start a userspace process
with MSR FP=1 and then we are context switched out. In this case
thread->ckpt_regs.msr will contain FP=1. If that same process is then
context switched in and load_fp overflows, MSR will have FP=0. If that
process now enters a transaction and does an FP instruction, the FP
unavailable will not update thread->ckpt_regs.msr (the bug) and MSR
FP=1 will be retained in thread->ckpt_regs.msr. tm_reclaim_thread()
will then not perform the required memcpy and the checkpointed FP regs
in the thread struct will contain the wrong values.
The code path for this happening is:
Userspace: Kernel
Start userspace
with MSR FP/VEC/VSX/SPE=0 TM=1
< -----
...
tbegin
bne
fp instruction
FP unavailable
---- >
fp_unavailable_tm()
tm_reclaim_current()
tm_reclaim_thread()
giveup_all()
return early since FP/VMX/VSX=0
/* ckpt MSR not updated (Incorrect) */
tm_reclaim()
/* thread_struct ckpt FP regs contain junk (OK) */
/* Sees ckpt MSR FP=1 (Incorrect) */
no memcpy() performed
/* thread_struct ckpt FP regs not fixed (Incorrect) */
tm_recheckpoint()
/* Put junk in hardware checkpoint FP regs */
....
< -----
Return to userspace
with MSR TM=1 FP=1
with junk in the FP TM checkpoint
TM rollback
reads FP junk
This is a data integrity problem for the current process as the FP
registers are corrupted. It's also a security problem as the FP
registers from one process may be leaked to another.
This patch moves up check_if_tm_restore_required() in giveup_all() to
ensure thread->ckpt_regs.msr is updated correctly.
A simple testcase to replicate this will be posted to
tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/tm/tm-poison.c
Similarly for VMX.
This fixes CVE-2019-15030.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
"A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
task.
The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.
Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.
This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

As synchronous exceptions really only make sense against the current
task (otherwise how are you synchronous) remove the task parameter
from from force_sig_fault to make it explicit that is what is going
on.
The two known exceptions that deliver a synchronous exception to a
stopped ptraced task have already been changed to
force_sig_fault_to_task.
The callers have been changed with the following emacs regular expression
(with obvious variations on the architectures that take more arguments)
to avoid typos:
force_sig_fault[(]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\W+current[)]
->
force_sig_fault(\1,\2,\3)

"Reconciling" in terms of interrupt handling, is to bring the soft irq
mask state in to synch with the hardware, after an interrupt causes
MSR[EE] to be cleared (while the soft mask may be enabled, and hard
irqs not marked disabled).
General kernel code should not be called while unreconciled, because
local_irq_disable, etc. manipulations can cause surprising irq traces,
and it's fragile because the soft irq code does not really expect to
be called in this situation.
When exiting from an interrupt, MSR[EE] is cleared to prevent races,
but soft irq state is enabled for the returned-to context, so this is
now an unreconciled state. restore_math is called in this state, and
that can be ftraced, and the ftrace subsystem disables local irqs.
Mark restore_math and its callees as notrace. Restore a sanity check
in the soft irq code that had to be disabled for this case, by commit
4da1f79227ad4 ("powerpc/64: Disable irq restore warning for now").

Merge our topic branch shared with KVM. In particular this includes the

This adds a flag so that the DAWR can be enabled on P9 via:
echo Y > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/dawr_enable_dangerous
The DAWR was previously force disabled on POWER9 in:
9654153158 powerpc: Disable DAWR in the base POWER9 CPU features
Also see Documentation/powerpc/DAWR-POWER9.txt
This is a dangerous setting, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Some users may not care about a bad user crashing their box
(ie. single user/desktop systems) and really want the DAWR. This
allows them to force enable DAWR.
This flag can also be used to disable DAWR access. Once this is
cleared, all DAWR access should be cleared immediately and your
machine once again safe from crashing.
Userspace may get confused by toggling this. If DAWR is force
enabled/disabled between getting the number of breakpoints (via
PTRACE_GETHWDBGINFO) and setting the breakpoint, userspace will get an
inconsistent view of what's available. Similarly for guests.
For the DAWR to be enabled in a KVM guest, the DAWR needs to be force
enabled in the host AND the guest. For this reason, this won't work on
POWERVM as it doesn't allow the HCALL to work. Writes of 'Y' to the
dawr_enable_dangerous file will fail if the hypervisor doesn't support
writing the DAWR.
To double check the DAWR is working, run this kernel selftest:
tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/ptrace/ptrace-hwbreak.c
Any errors/failures/skips mean something is wrong.

thread_info is not anymore in the stack, so the entire stack
can now be used.
There is also no risk anymore of corrupting task_cpu(p) with a
stack overflow so the patch removes the test.
When doing this, an explicit test for NULL stack pointer is
needed in validate_sp() as it is not anymore implicitely covered
by the sizeof(thread_info) gap.
In the meantime, with the previous patch all pointers to the stacks
are not anymore pointers to thread_info so this patch changes them
to void*

This patch activates CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK which
moves the thread_info into task_struct.
Moving thread_info into task_struct has the following advantages:
- It protects thread_info from corruption in the case of stack
overflows.
- Its address is harder to determine if stack addresses are leaked,
making a number of attacks more difficult.
This has the following consequences:
- thread_info is now located at the beginning of task_struct.
- The 'cpu' field is now in task_struct, and only exists when
CONFIG_SMP is active.
- thread_info doesn't have anymore the 'task' field.
This patch:
- Removes all recopy of thread_info struct when the stack changes.
- Changes the CURRENT_THREAD_INFO() macro to point to current.
- Selects CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK.
- Modifies raw_smp_processor_id() to get ->cpu from current without
including linux/sched.h to avoid circular inclusion and without
including asm/asm-offsets.h to avoid symbol names duplication
between ASM constants and C constants.
- Modifies klp_init_thread_info() to take a task_struct pointer

[text copied from commit 9bbd4c56b0b6
("arm64: prep stack walkers for THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK")]
When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is selected, task stacks may be freed
before a task is destroyed. To account for this, the stacks are
refcounted, and when manipulating the stack of another task, it is
necessary to get/put the stack to ensure it isn't freed and/or re-used
while we do so.
This patch reworks the powerpc stack walking code to account for this.
When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is not selected these perform no
refcounting, and this should only be a structural change that does not
affect behaviour.

Commit 8792468da5e1 "powerpc: Add the ability to save FPU without
giving it up" unexpectedly removed the MSR_FE0 and MSR_FE1 bits from
the bitmask used to update the MSR of the previous thread in
__giveup_fpu() causing a KVM-PR MacOS guest to lockup and panic the
host kernel.
Leaving FE0/1 enabled means unrelated processes might receive FPEs
when they're not expecting them and crash. In particular if this
happens to init the host will then panic.
eg (transcribed):
qemu-system-ppc[837]: unhandled signal 8 at 12cc9ce4 nip 12cc9ce4 lr 12cc9ca4 code 0
systemd[1]: unhandled signal 8 at 202f02e0 nip 202f02e0 lr 001003d4 code 0
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b
Reinstate these bits to the MSR bitmask to enable MacOS guests to run
under 32-bit KVM-PR once again without issue.

"Notable changes:
- A large series to rewrite our SLB miss handling, replacing a lot of

- Following on from that, we now maintain a cache of SLB entries for

- Improvements to our handling of SLB multi-hit errors. We now print
more debug information when they occur, and try to continue running
by flushing the SLB and reloading, rather than treating them as
fatal.
- Enable THP migration on 64-bit Book3S machines (eg. Power7/8/9).
- Add support for physical memory up to 2PB in the linear mapping on
64-bit Book3S. We only support up to 512TB as regular system
memory, otherwise the percpu allocator runs out of vmalloc space.
- Add stack protector support for 32 and 64-bit, with a per-task

- Add support for PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP.
- Support recognising "big cores" on Power9, where two SMT4 cores are
presented to us as a single SMT8 core.
- A large series to cleanup some of our ioremap handling and PTE
flags.
- Add a driver for the PAPR SCM (storage class memory) interface,
allowing guests to operate on SCM devices (acked by Dan).
- Changes to our ftrace code to handle very large kernels, where we
need to use a trampoline to get to ftrace_caller().

Fix a bug introduced by the creation of flush_all_to_thread() for
processors that have SPE (Signal Processing Engine) and use it to
compute floating-point operations.
>From userspace perspective, the problem was seen in attempts of
computing floating-point operations which should generate exceptions.
For example:
fork();
float x = 0.0 / 0.0;
isnan(x); // forked process returns False (should be True)
The operation above also should always cause the SPEFSCR FINV bit to
be set. However, the SPE floating-point exceptions were turned off
after a fork().
Kernel versions prior to the bug used flush_spe_to_thread(), which
first saves SPEFSCR register values in tsk->thread and then calls
giveup_spe(tsk).
After commit 579e633e764e, the save_all() function was called first
to giveup_spe(), and then the SPEFSCR register values were saved in
tsk->thread. This would save the SPEFSCR register values after
disabling SPE for that thread, causing the bug described above.

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
"I have been slowly sorting out siginfo and this is the culmination of
that work.
The primary result is in several ways the signal infrastructure has
been made less error prone. The code has been updated so that manually
specifying SEND_SIG_FORCED is never necessary. The conversion to the
new siginfo sending functions is now complete, which makes it
difficult to send a signal without filling in the proper siginfo
fields.
At the tail end of the patchset comes the optimization of decreasing
the size of struct siginfo in the kernel from 128 bytes to about 48
bytes on 64bit. The fundamental observation that enables this is by
definition none of the known ways to use struct siginfo uses the extra
bytes.
This comes at the cost of a small user space observable difference.
For the rare case of siginfo being injected into the kernel only what
can be copied into kernel_siginfo is delivered to the destination, the
rest of the bytes are set to 0. For cases where the signal and the
si_code are known this is safe, because we know those bytes are not
used. For cases where the signal and si_code combination is unknown
the bits that won't fit into struct kernel_siginfo are tested to
verify they are zero, and the send fails if they are not.
I made an extensive search through userspace code and I could not find
anything that would break because of the above change. If it turns out
I did break something it will take just the revert of a single change
to restore kernel_siginfo to the same size as userspace siginfo.
Testing did reveal dependencies on preferring the signo passed to
sigqueueinfo over si->signo, so bit the bullet and added the
complexity necessary to handle that case.
Testing also revealed bad things can happen if a negative signal
number is passed into the system calls. Something no sane application
will do but something a malicious program or a fuzzer might do. So I
have fixed the code that performs the bounds checks to ensure negative
signal numbers are handled"

When switching processes, currently all user SLBEs are cleared, and a
few (exec_base, pc, and stack) are preloaded. In trivial testing with
small apps, this tends to miss the heap and low 256MB segments, and it
will also miss commonly accessed segments on large memory workloads.
Add a simple round-robin preload cache that just inserts the last SLB
miss into the head of the cache and preloads those at context switch
time. Every 256 context switches, the oldest entry is removed from the
cache to shrink the cache and require fewer slbmte if they are unused.
Much more could go into this, including into the SLB entry reclaim
side to track some LRU information etc, which would require a study of
large memory workloads. But this is a simple thing we can do now that
is an obvious win for common workloads.
With the full series, process switching speed on the context_switch
benchmark on POWER9/hash (with kernel speculation security masures
disabled) increases from 140K/s to 178K/s (27%).
POWER8 does not change much (within 1%), it's unclear why it does not
see a big gain like POWER9.
Booting to busybox init with 256MB segments has SLB misses go down
from 945 to 69, and with 1T segments 900 to 21. These could almost all
be eliminated by preloading a bit more carefully with ELF binary
loading.

PPR is the odd register out when it comes to interrupt handling, it is
saved in current->thread.ppr while all others are saved on the stack.
The difficulty with this is that accessing thread.ppr can cause a SLB
fault, but the SLB fault handler implementation in C change had
assumed the normal exception entry handlers would not cause an SLB
fault.
Fix this by allocating room in the interrupt stack to save PPR.

Recently we implemented show_user_instructions() which dumps the code
around the NIP when a user space process dies with an unhandled
signal. This was modelled on the x86 code, and we even went so far as
to implement the exact same bug, namely that if the user process
crashed with its NIP pointing into the kernel we will dump kernel text
to dmesg. eg:
bad-bctr[2996]: segfault (11) at c000000000010000 nip c000000000010000 lr 12d0b0894 code 1

This was discovered on x86 by Jann Horn and fixed in commit
342db04ae712 ("x86/dumpstack: Don't dump kernel memory based on usermode RIP").
Fix it by checking the adjusted NIP value (pc) and number of
instructions against USER_DS, and bail if we fail the check, eg:
bad-bctr[2969]: segfault (11) at c000000000010000 nip c000000000010000 lr 107930894 code 1

show_user_instructions() is a slightly modified version of
show_instructions() that allows userspace instruction dump.
This will be useful within show_signal_msg() to dump userspace
instructions of the faulty location.
Here is a sample of what show_user_instructions() outputs:
pandafault[10850]: code: 4bfffeec 4bfffee8 3c401002 38427f00 fbe1fff8 f821ffc1 7c3f0b78 3d22fffe

The current->comm and current->pid printed can serve as a glue that
links the instructions dump to its originator, allowing messages to be
interleaved in the logs.

- A series from Nick optimising TLB/mm handling with the Radix MMU.
- Numerous small cleanups to squash sparse/gcc warnings from Mathieu
Malaterre.
- Several series optimising various parts of the 32-bit code from
Christophe Leroy.
- Removal of support for two old machines, "SBC834xE" and "C2K"

The current implementation of TID allocation, using a global IDR, may
result in an errant process starving the system of available TIDs.
Instead, use task_pid_nr(), as mentioned by the original author. The
scenario described which prevented it's use is not applicable, as
set_thread_tidr can only be called after the task struct has been
populated.
In the unlikely event that 2 threads share the TID and are waiting,
all potential outcomes have been determined safe.

For SPLPAR, lparcfg provides a sum of PURR registers for all CPUs.
Currently this is done by reading PURR in context switch and timer
interrupt, and storing that into a per-CPU variable. These are summed
to provide the value.
This does not work with all timer schemes (e.g., NO_HZ_FULL), and it
is sub-optimal for performance because it reads the PURR register on
every context switch, although that's been difficult to distinguish
from noise in the contxt_switch microbenchmark.
This patch implements the sum by calling a function on each CPU, to
read and add PURR values of each CPU.

Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly
initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions.
Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct
siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when
initializing a structure.
The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit
was moved from the helper user_single_step_siginfo into
tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local
variable siginfo gets fully initialized.
In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it
clear that siginfo siginfo is not used on other paths in the function
in which it is declared.
Instances of using memset to initialize siginfo have been replaced
with calls clear_siginfo for clarity.

flush_thread() calls __set_breakpoint() via set_debug_reg_defaults()
without checking ppc_breakpoint_available(). On Power8 or later CPUs
which have the DAWR feature disabled that will cause a write to the
DABR which is incorrect as those CPUs don't have a DABR.
Fix it two ways, by checking ppc_breakpoint_available() in
set_debug_reg_defaults(), and also by reworking __set_breakpoint() to
only write to DABR on Power7 or earlier.
