Andy Lutomirski 7ddc6a2199 x86/asm/traps: Disable tracing and kprobes in fixup_bad_iret and sync_regs
These functions can be executed on the int3 stack, so kprobes
are dangerous. Tracing is probably a bad idea, too.

Andy Lutomirski b645af2d59 x86_64, traps: Rework bad_iret
It's possible for iretq to userspace to fail.  This can happen because
of a bad CS, SS, or RIP.

Historically, we've handled it by fixing up an exception from iretq to
land at bad_iret, which pretends that the failed iret frame was really
the hardware part of #GP(0) from userspace.  To make this work, there's
an extra fixup to fudge the gs base into a usable state.

This is suboptimal because it loses the original exception.  It's also
buggy because there's no guarantee that we were on the kernel stack to
begin with.  For example, if the failing iret happened on return from an
NMI, then we'll end up executing general_protection on the NMI stack.
This is bad for several reasons, the most immediate of which is that
general_protection, as a non-paranoid idtentry, will try to deliver
signals and/or schedule from the wrong stack.

This patch throws out bad_iret entirely.  As a replacement, it augments
the existing swapgs fudge into a full-blown iret fixup, mostly written
in C.  It's should be clearer and more correct.

Andy Lutomirski 6f442be2fb x86_64, traps: Stop using IST for #SS
On a 32-bit kernel, this has no effect, since there are no IST stacks.

On a 64-bit kernel, #SS can only happen in user code, on a failed iret
to user space, a canonical violation on access via RSP or RBP, or a
genuine stack segment violation in 32-bit kernel code.  The first two
cases don't need IST, and the latter two cases are unlikely fatal bugs,
and promoting them to double faults would be fine.

This fixes a bug in which the espfix64 code mishandles a stack segment
violation.

This saves 4k of memory per CPU and a tiny bit of code.

There's nothing special enough about the espfix64 double fault fixup to

Dave Hansen fe3d197f84 x86, mpx: On-demand kernel allocation of bounds tables
This is really the meat of the MPX patch set.  If there is one patch to
review in the entire series, this is the one.  There is a new ABI here
and this kernel code also interacts with userspace memory in a
relatively unusual manner.  (small FAQ below).

Long Description:

This patch adds two prctl() commands to provide enable or disable the
management of bounds tables in kernel, including on-demand kernel
allocation (See the patch "on-demand kernel allocation of bounds tables")
and cleanup (See the patch "cleanup unused bound tables"). Applications
do not strictly need the kernel to manage bounds tables and we expect
some applications to use MPX without taking advantage of this kernel
support. This means the kernel can not simply infer whether an application
needs bounds table management from the MPX registers.  The prctl() is an
explicit signal from userspace.

PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT is meant to be a signal from userspace to
require kernel's help in managing bounds tables.

PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT is the opposite, meaning that userspace don't
want kernel's help any more. With PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT, the kernel
won't allocate and free bounds tables even if the CPU supports MPX.

PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT will fetch the base address of the bounds
directory out of a userspace register (bndcfgu) and then cache it into
a new field (->bd_addr) in  the 'mm_struct'.  PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT
will set "bd_addr" to an invalid address.  Using this scheme, we can
use "bd_addr" to determine whether the management of bounds tables in
kernel is enabled.

Also, the only way to access that bndcfgu register is via an xsaves,
which can be expensive.  Caching "bd_addr" like this also helps reduce
the cost of those xsaves when doing table cleanup at munmap() time.
Unfortunately, we can not apply this optimization to #BR fault time
because we need an xsave to get the value of BNDSTATUS.

==== Why does the hardware even have these Bounds Tables? ====

MPX only has 4 hardware registers for storing bounds information.
If MPX-enabled code needs more than these 4 registers, it needs to
spill them somewhere. It has two special instructions for this
which allow the bounds to be moved between the bounds registers
and some new "bounds tables".

They are similar conceptually to a page fault and will be raised by
the MPX hardware during both bounds violations or when the tables
are not present. This patch handles those #BR exceptions for
not-present tables by carving the space out of the normal processes
address space (essentially calling the new mmap() interface indroduced
earlier in this patch set.) and then pointing the bounds-directory
over to it.

The tables *need* to be accessed and controlled by userspace because
the instructions for moving bounds in and out of them are extremely
frequent. They potentially happen every time a register pointing to
memory is dereferenced. Any direct kernel involvement (like a syscall)
to access the tables would obviously destroy performance.

==== Why not do this in userspace? ====

This patch is obviously doing this allocation in the kernel.
However, MPX does not strictly *require* anything in the kernel.
It can theoretically be done completely from userspace. Here are
a few ways this *could* be done. I don't think any of them are
practical in the real-world, but here they are.

Q: Can virtual space simply be reserved for the bounds tables so
   that we never have to allocate them?
A: As noted earlier, these tables are *HUGE*. An X-GB virtual
   area needs 4*X GB of virtual space, plus 2GB for the bounds
   directory. If we were to preallocate them for the 128TB of
   user virtual address space, we would need to reserve 512TB+2GB,
   which is larger than the entire virtual address space today.
   This means they can not be reserved ahead of time. Also, a
   single process's pre-popualated bounds directory consumes 2GB
   of virtual *AND* physical memory. IOW, it's completely
   infeasible to prepopulate bounds directories.

Q: Can we preallocate bounds table space at the same time memory
   is allocated which might contain pointers that might eventually
   need bounds tables?
A: This would work if we could hook the site of each and every
   memory allocation syscall. This can be done for small,
   constrained applications. But, it isn't practical at a larger
   scale since a given app has no way of controlling how all the
   parts of the app might allocate memory (think libraries). The
   kernel is really the only place to intercept these calls.

Q: Could a bounds fault be handed to userspace and the tables
   allocated there in a signal handler instead of in the kernel?
A: (thanks to tglx) mmap() is not on the list of safe async
   handler functions and even if mmap() would work it still
   requires locking or nasty tricks to keep track of the
   allocation state there.

Having ruled out all of the userspace-only approaches for managing
bounds tables that we could think of, we create them on demand in
the kernel.

Masami Hiramatsu 4cdf77a828 x86/kprobes: Fix build errors and blacklist context_track_user
This essentially reverts commit:

  ecd50f714c ("kprobes, x86: Call exception_enter after kprobes handled")

since it causes build errors with CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING and
that has been made from misunderstandings;
context_track_user_*() don't involve much in interrupt context,
it just returns if in_interrupt() is true.

Instead of changing the do_debug/int3(), this just adds
context_track_user_*() to kprobes blacklist, since those are
still can be called right before kprobes handles int3 and debug
exceptions, and probing those will cause an infinite loop.

Oleg Nesterov b02ef20a9f uprobes/x86: Fix the wrong ->si_addr when xol triggers a trap
If the probed insn triggers a trap, ->si_addr = regs->ip is technically
correct, but this is not what the signal handler wants; we need to pass
the address of the probed insn, not the address of xol slot.

Add the new arch-agnostic helper, uprobe_get_trap_addr(), and change
fill_trap_info() and math_error() to use it. !CONFIG_UPROBES case in
uprobes.h uses a macro to avoid include hell and ensure that it can be
compiled even if an architecture doesn't define instruction_pointer().

Test-case:

	#include <signal.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <unistd.h>

	extern void probe_div(void);

	void sigh(int sig, siginfo_t *info, void *c)
	{
		int passed = (info->si_addr == probe_div);
		printf(passed ? "PASS\n" : "FAIL\n");
		_exit(!passed);
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		struct sigaction sa = {
			.sa_sigaction	= sigh,
			.sa_flags	= SA_SIGINFO,
		};

		sigaction(SIGFPE, &sa, NULL);

		asm (
			"xor %ecx,%ecx\n"
			".globl probe_div; probe_div:\n"
			"idiv %ecx\n"
		);

		return 0;
	}

it fails if probe_div() is probed.

Note: show_unhandled_signals users should probably use this helper too,
but we need to cleanup them first.

Masami Hiramatsu 6f6343f53d kprobes/x86: Call exception handlers directly from do_int3/do_debug
To avoid a kernel crash by probing on lockdep code, call
kprobe_int3_handler() and kprobe_debug_handler()(which was
formerly called post_kprobe_handler()) directly from
do_int3 and do_debug.

Currently kprobes uses notify_die() to hook the int3/debug
exceptoins. Since there is a locking code in notify_die,
the lockdep code can be invoked. And because the lockdep
involves printk() related things, theoretically, we need to
prohibit probing on such code, which means much longer blacklist
we'll have. Instead, hooking the int3/debug for kprobes before
notify_die() can avoid this problem.

Anyway, most of the int3 handlers in the kernel are already
called from do_int3 directly, e.g. ftrace_int3_handler,
poke_int3_handler, kgdb_ll_trap. Actually only
kprobe_exceptions_notify is on the notifier_call_chain.

Jiri Kosina 17f41571bb kprobes/x86: Call out into INT3 handler directly instead of using notifier
In fd4363fff3 ("x86: Introduce int3 (breakpoint)-based
instruction patching"), the mechanism that was introduced for
notifying alternatives code from int3 exception handler that and
exception occured was die_notifier.

This is however problematic, as early code might be using jump
labels even before the notifier registration has been performed,
which will then lead to an oops due to unhandled exception. One
of such occurences has been encountered by Fengguang:

Fix this by directly calling poke_int3_handler() from the int3

Kees Cook 4df05f3619 x86: Make sure IDT is page aligned
Since the IDT is referenced from a fixmap, make sure it is page aligned.
Merge with 32-bit one, since it was already aligned to deal with F00F
bug. Since bss is cleared before IDT setup, it can live there. This also
moves the other *_idt_table variables into common locations.

This avoids the risk of the IDT ever being moved in the bss and having
the mapping be offset, resulting in calling incorrect handlers. In the
current upstream kernel this is not a manifested bug, but heavily patched
kernels (such as those using the PaX patch series) did encounter this bug.

The tables other than idt_table technically do not need to be page
aligned, at least not at the current time, but using a common
declaration avoids mistakes.  On 64 bits the table is exactly one page
long, anyway.

Kees Cook 4eefbe792b x86: Use a read-only IDT alias on all CPUs
Make a copy of the IDT (as seen via the "sidt" instruction) read-only.
This primarily removes the IDT from being a target for arbitrary memory
write attacks, and has the added benefit of also not leaking the kernel
base offset, if it has been relocated.

We already did this on vendor == Intel and family == 5 because of the
F0 0F bug -- regardless of if a particular CPU had the F0 0F bug or
not.  Since the workaround was so cheap, there simply was no reason to
be very specific.  This patch extends the readonly alias to all CPUs,
but does not activate the #PF to #UD conversion code needed to deliver
the proper exception in the F0 0F case except on Intel family 5
processors.

Frederic Weisbecker 6c1e0256fa context_tracking: Restore correct previous context state on exception exit
On exception exit, we restore the previous context tracking state based on
the regs of the interrupted frame. Iff that frame is in user mode as
stated by user_mode() helper, we restore the context tracking user mode.

However there is a tiny chunck of low level arch code after we pass through
user_enter() and until the CPU eventually resumes userspace.
If an exception happens in this tiny area, exception_enter() correctly
exits the context tracking user mode but exception_exit() won't restore
it because of the value returned by user_mode(regs).

As a result we may return to userspace with the wrong context tracking
state.

To fix this, change exception_enter() to return the context tracking state
prior to its call and pass this saved state to exception_exit(). This restores
the real context tracking state of the interrupted frame.

(May be this patch was suggested to me, I don't recall exactly. If so,
sorry for the missing credit).

H. Peter Anvin 8170e6bed4 x86, 64bit: Use a #PF handler to materialize early mappings on demand
Linear mode (CR0.PG = 0) is mutually exclusive with 64-bit mode; all
64-bit code has to use page tables.  This makes it awkward before we
have first set up properly all-covering page tables to access objects
that are outside the static kernel range.

So far we have dealt with that simply by mapping a fixed amount of
low memory, but that fails in at least two upcoming use cases:

1. We will support load and run kernel, struct boot_params, ramdisk,
   command line, etc. above the 4 GiB mark.
2. need to access ramdisk early to get microcode to update that as
   early possible.

We could use early_iomap to access them too, but it will make code to
messy and hard to be unified with 32 bit.

Hence, set up a #PF table and use a fixed number of buffers to set up
page tables on demand.  If the buffers fill up then we simply flush
them and start over.  These buffers are all in __initdata, so it does
not increase RAM usage at runtime.

Thus, with the help of the #PF handler, we can set the final kernel
mapping from blank, and switch to init_level4_pgt later.

During the switchover in head_64.S, before #PF handler is available,
we use three pages to handle kernel crossing 1G, 512G boundaries with
sharing page by playing games with page aliasing: the same page is
mapped twice in the higher-level tables with appropriate wraparound.
The kernel region itself will be properly mapped; other mappings may
be spurious.

early_make_pgtable is using kernel high mapping address to access pages
to set page table.

-v4: Add phys_base offset to make kexec happy, and add
	init_mapping_kernel()   - Yinghai
-v5: fix compiling with xen, and add back ident level3 and level2 for xen
     also move back init_level4_pgt from BSS to DATA again.
     because we have to clear it anyway.  - Yinghai
-v6: switch to init_level4_pgt in init_mem_mapping. - Yinghai
-v7: remove not needed clear_page for init_level4_page
     it is with fill 512,8,0 already in head_64.S  - Yinghai
-v8: we need to keep that handler alive until init_mem_mapping and don't
     let early_trap_init to trash that early #PF handler.
     So split early_trap_pf_init out and move it down. - Yinghai
-v9: switchover only cover kernel space instead of 1G so could avoid
     touch possible mem holes. - Yinghai
-v11: change far jmp back to far return to initial_code, that is needed
     to fix failure that is reported by Konrad on AMD systems.  - Yinghai

This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking

because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on

Frederic Weisbecker c416ddf5b9 x86: Unspaghettize do_trap()
Cleanup the label maze in this function. Having a
seperate function to first handle the traps that don't
generate a signal makes it easier to convert into
more readable conditional paths.

Suresh Siddha 5d2bd7009f x86, fpu: decouple non-lazy/eager fpu restore from xsave
Decouple non-lazy/eager fpu restore policy from the existence of the xsave
feature. Introduce a synthetic CPUID flag to represent the eagerfpu
policy. "eagerfpu=on" boot paramter will enable the policy.

Suresh Siddha 304bceda6a x86, fpu: use non-lazy fpu restore for processors supporting xsave
Fundamental model of the current Linux kernel is to lazily init and
restore FPU instead of restoring the task state during context switch.
This changes that fundamental lazy model to the non-lazy model for
the processors supporting xsave feature.

Reasons driving this model change are:

i. Newer processors support optimized state save/restore using xsaveopt and
xrstor by tracking the INIT state and MODIFIED state during context-switch.
This is faster than modifying the cr0.TS bit which has serializing semantics.

ii. Newer glibc versions use SSE for some of the optimized copy/clear routines.
With certain workloads (like boot, kernel-compilation etc), application
completes its work with in the first 5 task switches, thus taking upto 5 #DNA
traps with the kernel not getting a chance to apply the above mentioned
pre-load heuristic.

iii. Some xstate features (like AMD's LWP feature) don't honor the cr0.TS bit
and thus will not work correctly in the presence of lazy restore. Non-lazy
state restore is needed for enabling such features.

Some data on a two socket SNB system:
 * Saved 20K DNA exceptions during boot on a two socket SNB system.
 * Saved 50K DNA exceptions during kernel-compilation workload.
 * Improved throughput of the AVX based checksumming function inside the
   kernel by ~15% as xsave/xrstor is faster than the serializing clts/stts
   pair.

Also now kernel_fpu_begin/end() relies on the patched
alternative instructions. So move check_fpu() which uses the
kernel_fpu_begin/end() after alternative_instructions().

Joe Perches c767a54ba0 x86/debug: Add KERN_<LEVEL> to bare printks, convert printks to pr_<level>
Use a more current logging style:

 - Bare printks should have a KERN_<LEVEL> for consistency's sake
 - Add pr_fmt where appropriate
 - Neaten some macro definitions
 - Convert some Ok output to OK
 - Use "%s: ", __func__ in pr_fmt for summit
 - Convert some printks to pr_<level>

Message output is not identical in all cases.

Steven Rostedt a192cd0413 ftrace: Synchronize variable setting with breakpoints
When the function tracer starts modifying the code via breakpoints
it sets a variable (modifying_ftrace_code) to inform the breakpoint
handler to call the ftrace int3 code.

But there's no synchronization between setting this code and the
handler, thus it is possible for the handler to be called on another
CPU before it sees the variable. This will cause a kernel crash as
the int3 handler will not know what to do with it.

I originally added smp_mb()'s to force the visibility of the variable
but H. Peter Anvin suggested that I just make it atomic.

[ Added comments as suggested by Peter Zijlstra ]

Linus Torvalds d5b4bb4d10 Merge branch 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux
Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
 "It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
  realistically, nobody is using them anymore.  They were mostly limited
  to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
  64MB of RAM.  Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
  dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
  various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.

  So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA.  There is no point
  carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
  wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
  grep'ping over it, and so on."

Let's see if anybody screams.  It generally has compiled, and James
Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines.  So in *theory*
there may be users out there.

But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
argue for keeping MCA support either.

So we could bring it back.  But somebody had better speak up and talk
about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
kernels for us to do that.  And David already took the patch to delete
all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61ad3: "drivers/net:
delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA").

* 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
  MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.
  scsi: delete the MCA specific drivers and driver code
  serial: delete the MCA specific 8250 support.
  arm: remove ability to select CONFIG_MCA
