由 Andrew Cooper 提交于
There appears to be no formal statement of what pv_irq_ops.save_fl() is supposed to return precisely. Native returns the full flags, while lguest and Xen only return the Interrupt Flag, and both have comments by the implementations stating that only the Interrupt Flag is looked at. This may have been true when initially implemented, but no longer is. To make matters worse, the Xen PVOP leaves the upper bits undefined, making the BUG_ON() undefined behaviour. Experimentally, this now trips for 32bit PV guests on Broadwell hardware. The BUG_ON() is consistent for an individual build, but not consistent for all builds. It has also been a sitting timebomb since SMAP support was introduced. Use native_save_fl() instead, which will obtain an accurate view of the AC flag.

KVM uses the get_xsave_addr() function in a different fashion from the native kernel, in that the 'xsave' parameter belongs to guest vcpu, not the currently running task. But 'xsave' is replaced with current task's (host) xsave structure, so get_xsave_addr() will incorrectly return the bad xsave address to KVM. Fix it so that the passed in 'xsave' address is used - as intended originally.

(This should have gone to LKML originally. Sorry for the extra noise, folks on the cc.) Background: Signal frames on x86 have two formats: 1. For 32-bit executables (whether on a real 32-bit kernel or under 32-bit emulation on a 64-bit kernel) we have a 'fpregset_t' that includes the "FSAVE" registers. 2. For 64-bit executables (on 64-bit kernels obviously), the 'fpregset_t' is smaller and does not contain the "FSAVE" state. When creating the signal frame, we have to be aware of whether we are running a 32 or 64-bit executable so we create the correct format signal frame. Problem: save_xstate_epilog() uses 'fx_sw_reserved_ia32' whenever it is called for a 32-bit executable. This is for real 32-bit and ia32 emulation. But, fpu__init_prepare_fx_sw_frame() only initializes 'fx_sw_reserved_ia32' when emulation is enabled, *NOT* for real 32-bit kernels. This leads to really wierd situations where 32-bit programs lose their extended state when returning from a signal handler. The kernel copies the uninitialized (zero) 'fx_sw_reserved_ia32' out to userspace in save_xstate_epilog(). But when returning from the signal, the kernel errors out in check_for_xstate() when it does not see FP_XSTATE_MAGIC1 present (because it was zeroed). This leads to the FPU/XSAVE state being initialized. For MPX, this leads to the most permissive state and means we silently lose bounds violations. I think this would also mean that we could lose *ANY* FPU/SSE/AVX state. I'm not sure why no one has spotted this bug. I believe this was broken by: 72a671ce ("x86, fpu: Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels") way back in 2012.

I received a bug report that running 32-bit MPX binaries on 64-bit kernels was broken. I traced it down to this little code snippet. We were switching our "number of bounds directory entries" calculation correctly. But, we didn't switch the other side of the calculation: the virtual space size. This meant that we were calculating an absurd size for bd_entry_virt_space() on 32-bit because we used the 64-bit virt_space. This was _also_ broken for 32-bit kernels running on 64-bit hardware since boot_cpu_data.x86_virt_bits=48 even when running in 32-bit mode. Correct that and properly handle all 3 possible cases: 1. 32-bit binary on 64-bit kernel 2. 64-bit binary on 64-bit kernel 3. 32-bit binary on 32-bit kernel This manifested in having bounds tables not properly unmapped. It "leaked" memory but had no functional impact otherwise.

由 Dave Hansen 提交于
When you call get_user(foo, bar), you effectively do a copy_from_user(&foo, bar, sizeof(*bar)); Note that the sizeof() is implicit. When we reach out to userspace to try to zap an entire "bounds table" we need to go read a "bounds directory entry" in order to locate the table's address. The size of a "directory entry" depends on the binary being run and is always the size of a pointer. But, when we have a 64-bit kernel and a 32-bit application, the directory entry is still only 32-bits long, but we fetch it with a 64-bit pointer which makes get_user() does a 64-bit fetch. Reading 4 extra bytes isn't harmful, unless we are at the end of and run off the table. It might also cause the zero page to get faulted in unnecessarily even if you are not at the end. Fix it up by doing a special 32-bit get_user() via a cast when we have 32-bit userspace.

When we get loaded by a 64-bit bootloader, kernel entry point is startup_64 in head_64.S. We don't trust any and all bootloaders because some will fiddle with CPU configuration so we go ahead and massage each CPU into sanity again. For example, some dell BIOSes have this XD disable feature which set IA32_MISC_ENABLE[34] and disable NX. This might be some dumb workaround for other OSes but Linux sure doesn't need it. A similar thing is present in the Surface 3 firmware - see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106051 - which sets this bit only on the BSP: # rdmsr -a 0x1a0 400850089 850089 850089 850089 I know, right?! There's not even an off switch in there. So fix all those cases by sanitizing the 64-bit entry point too. For that, make verify_cpu() callable in 64-bit mode also. Requested-and-debugged-by: N"H.

Commit d32932d0 ("x86/irq: Convert IOAPIC to use hierarchical irqdomain interfaces") brought a regression for Hyper-V Gen2 instances. These instances don't have i8259 legacy PIC but they use legacy IRQs for serial port, rtc, and acpi. With this commit included we end up with these IRQs not initialized. Earlier, there was a special workaround for legacy IRQs in mp_map_pin_to_irq() doing mp_irqdomain_map() without looking at nr_legacy_irqs() and now we fail in __irq_domain_alloc_irqs() when irq_domain_alloc_descs() returns -EEXIST. The essence of the issue seems to be that early_irq_init() calls arch_probe_nr_irqs() to figure out the number of legacy IRQs before we probe for i8259 and gets 16. Later when init_8259A() is called we switch to NULL legacy PIC and nr_legacy_irqs() starts to return 0 but we already have 16 descs allocated. Solve the issue by separating i8259 probe from init and calling it in arch_probe_nr_irqs() before we actually use nr_legacy_irqs() information.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

That will get sorted out, but in the meantime let's not make the scary complaint about them be on by default. The code is useful for developers, but not ready for end user testing yet.

When klp_write_module_reloc() calls set_memory_ro() on the page, it effectively turns the module struct into a read-only structure, resulting in a page fault when load_module() does "mod->state = MODULE_STATE_LIVE".

With the refactored mlock code, introduce a new system call for mlock. The new call will allow the user to specify what lock states are being added. mlock2 is trivial at the moment, but a follow on patch will add a new mlock state making it useful.
