This change introduces a prctl that allows the user program to control
which PAC keys are enabled in a particular task. The main reason
why this is useful is to enable a userspace ABI that uses PAC to
sign and authenticate function pointers and other pointers exposed
outside of the function, while still allowing binaries conforming
to the ABI to interoperate with legacy binaries that do not sign or
authenticate pointers.
The idea is that a dynamic loader or early startup code would issue
this prctl very early after establishing that a process may load legacy
binaries, but before executing any PAC instructions.
This change adds a small amount of overhead to kernel entry and exit
due to additional required instruction sequences.
On a DragonBoard 845c (Cortex-A75) with the powersave governor, the
overhead of similar instruction sequences was measured as 4.9ns when
simulating the common case where IA is left enabled, or 43.7ns when
simulating the uncommon case where IA is disabled. These numbers can
be seen as the worst case scenario, since in more realistic scenarios
a better performing governor would be used and a newer chip would be
used that would support PAC unlike Cortex-A75 and would be expected
to be faster than Cortex-A75.
On an Apple M1 under a hypervisor, the overhead of the entry/exit
instruction sequences introduced by this patch was measured as 0.3ns
in the case where IA is left enabled, and 33.0ns in the case where
IA is disabled.

For BTI protection to be as comprehensive as possible, it is
desirable to have BTI enabled from process startup. If this is not
done, the process must use mprotect() to enable BTI for each of its
executable mappings, but this is painful to do in the libc startup
code. It's simpler and more sound to have the kernel do it
instead.
To this end, detect BTI support in the executable (or ELF
interpreter, as appropriate), via the
NT_GNU_PROGRAM_PROPERTY_TYPE_0 note, and tweak the initial prot
flags for the process' executable pages to include PROT_BTI as
appropriate.

Add two new ptrace regsets, which can be used to request and change the
pointer authentication keys of a thread. NT_ARM_PACA_KEYS gives access
to the instruction/data address keys, and NT_ARM_PACG_KEYS to the
generic authentication key. The keys are also part of the core dump file
of the process.
The regsets are only exposed if the kernel is compiled with
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y, as the only intended use case is
checkpointing and restoring processes that are using pointer
authentication. (This can be changed later if there are other use
cases.)

When pointer authentication is in use, data/instruction pointers have a
number of PAC bits inserted into them. The number and position of these
bits depends on the configured TCR_ELx.TxSZ and whether tagging is
enabled. ARMv8.3 allows tagging to differ for instruction and data
pointers.
For userspace debuggers to unwind the stack and/or to follow pointer
chains, they need to be able to remove the PAC bits before attempting to
use a pointer.
This patch adds a new structure with masks describing the location of
the PAC bits in userspace instruction and data pointers (i.e. those
addressable via TTBR0), which userspace can query via PTRACE_GETREGSET.
By clearing these bits from pointers (and replacing them with the value
of bit 55), userspace can acquire the PAC-less versions.
This new regset is exposed when the kernel is built with (user) pointer
authentication support, and the address authentication feature is
enabled. Otherwise, the regset is hidden.

Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
The current methods for obtaining FP context via ptrace only provide
either 32 or 64 bits per data register. With MSA, where vector registers
are aliased with scalar FP data registers, those registers are 128 bits
wide. Thus a new mechanism is required for userland to access those
registers via ptrace. This patch introduces an NT_MIPS_MSA regset which
provides, in this order:
- The full 128 bits value of each vector register, in native
endianness saved as though elements are doubles. That is, the format
of each vector register is as would be obtained by saving it to
memory using an st.d instruction.
- The 32 bit scalar FP implementation register (FIR).
- The 32 bit scalar FP control & status register (FCSR).
- The 32 bit MSA implementation register (MSAIR).
- The 32 bit MSA control & status register (MSACSR).
The provision of the FIR & FCSR registers in addition to the MSA
equivalents allows scalar FP context to be retrieved as a subset of
the context available via this regset. Along with the MSA equivalents
they also nicely form the final 128 bit "register" of the regset.

Define an NT_MIPS_DSP core file note type and implement a corresponding
regset holding the DSP ASE register context, following the layout of the
`mips_dsp_state' structure, except for the DSPControl register stored as
a 64-bit rather than 32-bit quantity in a 64-bit note.
The lack of DSP ASE register saving to core files can be considered a
design flaw with commit e50c0a8fa6 ("Support the MIPS32 / MIPS64 DSP
ASE."), leading to an incomplete state being saved. Consequently no DSP
ASE regset has been created with commit 7aeb753b53 ("MIPS: Implement
task_user_regset_view."), when regset support was added to the MIPS
port.
Additionally there is no way for ptrace(2) to correctly access the DSP
accumulator registers in n32 processes with the existing interfaces.
This is due to 32-bit truncation of data passed with PTRACE_PEEKUSR and
PTRACE_POKEUSR requests, which cannot be avoided owing to how the data
types for ptrace(3) have been defined. This new NT_MIPS_DSP regset
fills the missing interface gap.

be considered a flaw in earlier DSP ASE support, it's still new

The sequence of actions done by device drivers to append their device
specific hardware/firmware logs to /proc/vmcore are as follows:
1. During probe (before hardware is initialized), device drivers
register to the vmcore module (via vmcore_add_device_dump()), with
callback function, along with buffer size and log name needed for
firmware/hardware log collection.
2. vmcore module allocates the buffer with requested size. It adds
an Elf note and invokes the device driver's registered callback
function.
3. Device driver collects all hardware/firmware logs into the buffer
and returns control back to vmcore module.
Ensure that the device dump buffer size is always aligned to page size
so that it can be mmaped.
Also, rename alloc_elfnotes_buf() to vmcore_alloc_buf() to make it more
generic and reserve NT_VMCOREDD note type to indicate vmcore device
dump.

This patch defines and implements a new regset NT_ARM_SVE, which
describes a thread's SVE register state. This allows a debugger to
manipulate the SVE state, as well as being included in ELF
coredumps for post-mortem debugging.
Because the regset size and layout are dependent on the thread's
current vector length, it is not possible to define a C struct to
describe the regset contents as is done for existing regsets.
Instead, and for the same reasons, NT_ARM_SVE is based on the
freeform variable-layout approach used for the SVE signal frame.
Additionally, to reduce debug overhead when debugging threads that
might or might not have live SVE register state, NT_ARM_SVE may be
presented in one of two different formats: the old struct
user_fpsimd_state format is embedded for describing the state of a
thread with no live SVE state, whereas a new variable-layout
structure is embedded for describing live SVE state. This avoids a
debugger needing to poll NT_PRFPREG in addition to NT_ARM_SVE, and
allows existing userspace code to handle the non-SVE case without
too much modification.
For this to work, NT_ARM_SVE is defined with a fixed-format header
of type struct user_sve_header, which the recipient can use to
figure out the content, size and layout of the reset of the regset.
Accessor macros are defined to allow the vector-length-dependent
parts of the regset to be manipulated.

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.

The guarded storage interface allows to register a control block for
each thread that is activated with the guarded storage broadcast event.
To retrieve the complete state of a process from the kernel a register
set for the stored broadcast control block is required.
Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
This adds a new system call to enable the use of guarded storage for
user space processes. The system call takes two arguments, a command
and pointer to a guarded storage control block:
s390_guarded_storage(int command, struct gs_cb *gs_cb);
The second argument is relevant only for the GS_SET_BC_CB command.
The commands in detail:
0 - GS_ENABLE
Enable the guarded storage facility for the current task. The
initial content of the guarded storage control block will be
all zeros. After the enablement the user space code can use
load-guarded-storage-controls instruction (LGSC) to load an
arbitrary control block. While a task is enabled the kernel
will save and restore the current content of the guarded
storage registers on context switch.
1 - GS_DISABLE
Disables the use of the guarded storage facility for the current
task. The kernel will cease to save and restore the content of
the guarded storage registers, the task specific content of
these registers is lost.
2 - GS_SET_BC_CB
Set a broadcast guarded storage control block. This is called
per thread and stores a specific guarded storage control block
in the task struct of the current task. This control block will
be used for the broadcast event GS_BROADCAST.
3 - GS_CLEAR_BC_CB
Clears the broadcast guarded storage control block. The guarded-
storage control block is removed from the task struct that was
established by GS_SET_BC_CB.
4 - GS_BROADCAST
Sends a broadcast to all thread siblings of the current task.
Every sibling that has established a broadcast guarded storage
control block will load this control block and will be enabled
for guarded storage. The broadcast guarded storage control block
is used up, a second broadcast without a refresh of the stored
control block with GS_SET_BC_CB will not have any effect.

This patch adds twelve ELF core note sections for powerpc
architecture for various registers and register sets which
need to be accessed from ptrace interface and then gdb.
These additions include special purpose registers like TAR,
PPR, DSCR, TM running and checkpointed state for various
register sets, EBB related register set, performance monitor
register set etc. Addition of these new ELF core note
sections extends the existing ELF ABI on powerpc arch without
affecting it in any manner.

Livepatch manages its own relocation sections and symbols in order to be
able to reuse module loader code to write relocations. This removes
livepatch's dependence on separate "dynrela" sections to write relocations
and also allows livepatch to patch modules that are not yet loaded.
The livepatch Elf relocation section flag (SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH),
and symbol section index (SHN_LIVEPATCH) allow both livepatch and the
module loader to identity livepatch relocation sections and livepatch
symbols.
Livepatch relocation sections are marked with SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH to
indicate to the module loader that it should not apply that relocation
section and that livepatch will handle them.
The SHN_LIVEPATCH shndx marks symbols that will be resolved by livepatch.
The module loader ignores these symbols and does not attempt to resolve
them.
The values of these Elf constants were selected from OS-specific
ranges according to the definitions from glibc.

This regeset is intended to be used to get and set a system call number
while tracing.
There was some discussion about possible approaches to do so:
(1) modify x8 register with ptrace(PTRACE_SETREGSET) indirectly,
and update regs->syscallno later on in syscall_trace_enter(), or
(2) define a dedicated regset for this purpose as on s390, or
(3) support ptrace(PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL) as on arch/arm
Thinking of the fact that user_pt_regs doesn't expose 'syscallno' to
tracer as well as that secure_computing() expects a changed syscall number,
especially case of -1, to be visible before this function returns in
syscall_trace_enter(), (1) doesn't work well.
We will take (2) since it looks much cleaner.

The vector extension introduces 32 128-bit vector registers and a set of
instruction to operate on the vector registers.
The kernel can control the use of vector registers for the problem state
program with a bit in control register 0. Once enabled for a process the
kernel needs to retain the content of the vector registers on context
switch. The signal frame is extended to include the vector registers.
Two new register sets NT_S390_VXRS_LOW and NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH are added
to the regset interface for the debugger and core dumps.

The ptrace interface for metag provides access to some core register
sets using the PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET operations. The
details of the internal context structures is abstracted into user API
structures to both ease use and allow flexibility to change the internal
context layouts. Copyin and copyout functions for these register sets
are exposed to allow signal handling code to use them to copy to and
from the signal context.
struct user_gp_regs (NT_PRSTATUS) provides access to the core general
purpose register context.
struct user_cb_regs (NT_METAG_CBUF) provides access to the TXCATCH*
registers which contains information abuot a memory fault, unaligned
access error or watchpoint. This can be modified to alter the way the
fault is replayed on resume ("catch replay"), or to prevent the replay
taking place.
struct user_rp_state (NT_METAG_RPIPE) provides access to the state of
the Meta read pipeline which can be used to hide memory latencies in
hand optimised data loops.
Extended DSP register state, DSP RAM, and hardware breakpoint registers
aren't yet exposed through ptrace.
