      x86/mm: Unbreak modules that rely on external PAGE_KERNEL availability · 87df2617
      Jiri Kosina 提交于
      Commit 7744ccdb ("x86/mm: Add Secure Memory Encryption (SME)
      support") as a side-effect made PAGE_KERNEL all of a sudden unavailable
      to modules which can't make use of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() symbols.
      
      This is because once SME is enabled, sme_me_mask (which is introduced as
      EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL) makes its way to PAGE_KERNEL through _PAGE_ENC,
      causing imminent build failure for all the modules which make use of all
      the EXPORT-SYMBOL()-exported API (such as vmap(), __vmalloc(),
      remap_pfn_range(), ...).
      
      Exporting (as EXPORT_SYMBOL()) interfaces (and having done so for ages)
      that take pgprot_t argument, while making it impossible to -- all of a
      sudden -- pass PAGE_KERNEL to it, feels rather incosistent.
      
      Restore the original behavior and make it possible to pass PAGE_KERNEL
      to all its EXPORT_SYMBOL() consumers.
      
      [ This is all so not wonderful. We shouldn't need that "sme_me_mask"
        access at all in all those places that really don't care about that
        level of detail, and just want _PAGE_KERNEL or whatever.
      
        We have some similar issues with _PAGE_CACHE_WP and _PAGE_NOCACHE,
        both of which hide a "cachemode2protval()" call, and which also ends
        up using another EXPORT_SYMBOL(), but at least that only triggers for
        the much more rare cases.
      
        Maybe we could move these dynamic page table bits to be generated much
        deeper down in the VM layer, instead of hiding them in the macros that
        everybody uses.
      
        So this all would merit some cleanup. But not today.   - Linus ]

      Revert "x86/mm: Stop calling leave_mm() in idle code" · 67535736
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      This reverts commit 43858b4f.
      
      The reason I removed the leave_mm() calls in question is because the
      heuristic wasn't needed after that patch.  With the original version
      of my PCID series, we never flushed a "lazy cpu" (i.e. a CPU running
      kernel thread) due a flush on the loaded mm.
      
      Unfortunately, that caused architectural issues, so now I've
      reinstated these flushes on non-PCID systems in:
      
          commit b956575b ("x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB mode").
      
      That, in turn, gives us a power management and occasionally
      performance regression as compared to old kernels: a process that
      goes into a deep idle state on a given CPU and gets its mm flushed
      due to activity on a different CPU will wake the idle CPU.
      
      Reinstate the old ugly heuristic: if a CPU goes into ACPI C3 or an
      intel_idle state that is likely to cause a TLB flush gets its mm
      switched to init_mm before going idle.
      
      FWIW, this heuristic is lousy.  Whether we should change CR3 before
      idle isn't a good hint except insofar as the performance hit is a bit
      lower if the TLB is getting flushed by the idle code anyway.  What we
      really want to know is whether we anticipate being idle long enough
      that the mm is likely to be flushed before we wake up.  This is more a
      matter of the expected latency than the idle state that gets chosen.
      This heuristic also completely fails on systems that don't know
      whether the TLB will be flushed (e.g. AMD systems?).  OTOH it may be a
      bit obsolete anyway -- PCID systems don't presently benefit from this
      heuristic at all.
      
      We also shouldn't do this callback from innermost bit of the idle code
      due to the RCU nastiness it causes.  All the information need is
      available before rcu_idle_enter() needs to happen.

      License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license · e2be04c7
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
      incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
      license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
      compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
      chosen based on the license information in the file.
      
      GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
      identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
      the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
      exception:
      
         NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
         services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
         of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
      
      This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
      code, without confusing license compliance tools.
      
      Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
      under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
      identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
      is:
              ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
      
      SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
      used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
      existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
      basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
      happen in a separate step.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
      methodology of how this patch was researched.

      License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license · 6f52b16c
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
      makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default are files without license information under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPLV2.  Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
      them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
      intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
      which is in the kernels COPYING file:
      
         NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
         services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
         of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
      
      otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
      license identifier.  The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
      Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
      Linux syscall exception.  SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      x86/mm: fix use-after-free of vma during userfaultfd fault · cb0631fd
      Vlastimil Babka 提交于
      Syzkaller with KASAN has reported a use-after-free of vma->vm_flags in
      __do_page_fault() with the following reproducer:
      
        mmap(&(0x7f0000000000/0xfff000)=nil, 0xfff000, 0x3, 0x32, 0xffffffffffffffff, 0x0)
        mmap(&(0x7f0000011000/0x3000)=nil, 0x3000, 0x1, 0x32, 0xffffffffffffffff, 0x0)
        r0 = userfaultfd(0x0)
        ioctl$UFFDIO_API(r0, 0xc018aa3f, &(0x7f0000002000-0x18)={0xaa, 0x0, 0x0})
        ioctl$UFFDIO_REGISTER(r0, 0xc020aa00, &(0x7f0000019000)={{&(0x7f0000012000/0x2000)=nil, 0x2000}, 0x1, 0x0})
        r1 = gettid()
        syz_open_dev$evdev(&(0x7f0000013000-0x12)="2f6465762f696e7075742f6576656e742300", 0x0, 0x0)
        tkill(r1, 0x7)
      
      The vma should be pinned by mmap_sem, but handle_userfault() might (in a
      return to userspace scenario) release it and then acquire again, so when
      we return to __do_page_fault() (with other result than VM_FAULT_RETRY),
      the vma might be gone.
      
      Specifically, per Andrea the scenario is
       "A return to userland to repeat the page fault later with a
        VM_FAULT_NOPAGE retval (potentially after handling any pending signal
        during the return to userland). The return to userland is identified
        whenever FAULT_FLAG_USER|FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE are both set in
        vmf->flags"
      
      However, since commit a3c4fb7c ("x86/mm: Fix fault error path using
      unsafe vma pointer") there is a vma_pkey() read of vma->vm_flags after
      that point, which can thus become use-after-free.  Fix this by moving
      the read before calling handle_mm_fault().

      Revert "x86/mm: Limit mmap() of /dev/mem to valid physical addresses" · 90edaac6
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This reverts commit ce56a86e.
      
      There's unanticipated interaction with some boot parameters like 'mem=',
      which now cause the new checks via valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() to be too
      restrictive, crashing a Qemu bootup in fact, as reported by Fengguang Wu.
      
      So while the motivation of the change is still entirely valid, we
      need a few more rounds of testing to get it right - it's way too late
      after -rc6, so revert it for now.

      x86/mm: Limit mmap() of /dev/mem to valid physical addresses · ce56a86e
      Craig Bergstrom 提交于
      Currently, it is possible to mmap() any offset from /dev/mem.  If a
      program mmaps() /dev/mem offsets outside of the addressable limits
      of a system, the page table can be corrupted by setting reserved bits.
      
      For example if you mmap() offset 0x0001000000000000 of /dev/mem on an
      x86_64 system with a 48-bit bus, the page fault handler will be called
      with error_code set to RSVD.  The kernel then crashes with a page table
      corruption error.
      
      This change prevents this page table corruption on x86 by refusing
      to mmap offsets higher than the highest valid address in the system.

      x86/microcode: Do the family check first · 1f161f67
      Borislav Petkov 提交于
      On CPUs like AMD's Geode, for example, we shouldn't even try to load
      microcode because they do not support the modern microcode loading
      interface.
      
      However, we do the family check *after* the other checks whether the
      loader has been disabled on the command line or whether we're running in
      a guest.
      
      So move the family checks first in order to exit early if we're being
      loaded on an unsupported family.

      x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB mode · b956575b
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      Since commit:
      
        94b1b03b ("x86/mm: Rework lazy TLB mode and TLB freshness tracking")
      
      x86's lazy TLB mode has been all the way lazy: when running a kernel thread
      (including the idle thread), the kernel keeps using the last user mm's
      page tables without attempting to maintain user TLB coherence at all.
      
      From a pure semantic perspective, this is fine -- kernel threads won't
      attempt to access user pages, so having stale TLB entries doesn't matter.
      
      Unfortunately, I forgot about a subtlety.  By skipping TLB flushes,
      we also allow any paging-structure caches that may exist on the CPU
      to become incoherent.  This means that we can have a
      paging-structure cache entry that references a freed page table, and
      the CPU is within its rights to do a speculative page walk starting
      at the freed page table.
      
      I can imagine this causing two different problems:
      
       - A speculative page walk starting from a bogus page table could read
         IO addresses.  I haven't seen any reports of this causing problems.
      
       - A speculative page walk that involves a bogus page table can install
         garbage in the TLB.  Such garbage would always be at a user VA, but
         some AMD CPUs have logic that triggers a machine check when it notices
         these bogus entries.  I've seen a couple reports of this.
      
      Boris further explains the failure mode:
      
      > It is actually more of an optimization which assumes that paging-structure
      > entries are in WB DRAM:
      >
      > "TlbCacheDis: cacheable memory disable. Read-write. 0=Enables

      To fix this, reinstate TLB coherence in lazy mode.  With this patch
      applied, we do it in one of two ways:
      
       - If we have PCID, we simply switch back to init_mm's page tables
         when we enter a kernel thread -- this seems to be quite cheap
         except for the cost of serializing the CPU.
      
       - If we don't have PCID, then we set a flag and switch to init_mm
         the first time we would otherwise need to flush the TLB.
      
      The /sys/kernel/debug/x86/tlb_use_lazy_mode debug switch can be changed
      to override the default mode for benchmarking.
      
      In theory, we could optimize this better by only flushing the TLB in
      lazy CPUs when a page table is freed.  Doing that would require
      auditing the mm code to make sure that all page table freeing goes
      through tlb_remove_page() as well as reworking some data structures
      to implement the improved flush logic.
