powerpc/64: remove system call instruction emulation

2022-05-05T14:00:20Z

emulate_step() instruction emulation including sc instruction emulation initially appeared in xmon. It was then moved into sstep.c where kprobes could use it too, and later hw_breakpoint and uprobes started to use it. Until uprobes, the only instruction emulation users were for kernel mode instructions. - xmon only steps / breaks on kernel addresses. - kprobes is kernel only. - hw_breakpoint only emulates kernel instructions, single steps user. At one point, there was support for the kernel to execute sc instructions, although that is long removed and it's not clear whether there were any in-tree users. So system call emulation is not required by the above users. uprobes uses emulate_step and it appears possible to emulate sc instruction in userspace. Userspace system call emulation is broken and it's not clear it ever worked well. The big complication is that userspace takes an interrupt to the kernel to emulate the instruction. The user->kernel interrupt sets up registers and interrupt stack frame expecting to return to userspace, then system call instruction emulation re-directs that stack frame to the kernel, early in the system call interrupt handler. This means the interrupt return code takes the kernel->kernel restore path, which does not restore everything as the system call interrupt handler would expect coming from userspace. regs->iamr appears to get lost for example, because the kernel->kernel return does not restore the user iamr. Accounting such as irqflags tracing and CPU accounting does not get flipped back to user mode as the system call handler expects, so those appear to enter the kernel twice without returning to userspace. These things may be individually fixable with various complication, but it is a big complexity for unclear real benefit. Furthermore, it is not possible to single step a system call instruction since it causes an interrupt. As such, a separate patch disables probing on system call instructions. This patch removes system call emulation and disables stepping system calls. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin [minor commit log edit, and also get rid of '#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64'] Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Livepatch support for 32-bit is probably the standout new feature, otherwise mostly just lots of bits and pieces all over the board. There's a series of commits cleaning up function descriptor handling, which touches a few other arches as well as LKDTM. It has acks from Arnd, Kees and Helge. Summary: - Enforce kernel RO, and implement STRICT_MODULE_RWX for 603. - Add support for livepatch to 32-bit. - Implement CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. - Merge vdso64 and vdso32 into a single directory. - Fix build errors with newer binutils. - Add support for UADDR64 relocations, which are emitted by some toolchains. This allows powerpc to build with the latest lld. - Fix (another) potential userspace r13 corruption in transactional memory handling. - Cleanups of function descriptor handling & related fixes to LKDTM.

This was already gone from all major architectures, but now we can finally remove it everywhere, which loses some particularly tricky and error-prone code. There is a small merge conflict against a parisc cleanup, the solution is to use their new version. - The nds32 architecture ends its tenure in the Linux kernel. The hardware is still used and the code is in reasonable shape, but the mainline port is not actively maintained any more, as all remaining users are thought to run vendor kernels that would never be updated to a future release. - A series from Masahiro Yamada cleans up some of the uapi header files to pass the compile-time checks" * tag 'asm-generic-5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic: (27 commits) nds32: Remove the architecture uaccess: remove CONFIG_SET_FS ia64: remove CONFIG_SET_FS support sh: remove CONFIG_SET_FS support sparc64: remove CONFIG_SET_FS support lib/test_lockup: fix kernel pointer check for separate address spaces uaccess: generalize access_ok() uaccess: fix type mismatch warnings from access_ok() arm64: simplify access_ok() m68k: fix access_ok for coldfire MIPS: use simpler access_ok() MIPS: Handle address errors for accesses above CPU max virtual user address uaccess: add generic __{get,put}_kernel_nofault nios2: drop access_ok() check from __put_user() x86: use more conventional access_ok() definition x86: remove __range_not_ok() sparc64: add __{get,put}_kernel_nofault() nds32: fix access_ok() checks in get/put_user uaccess: fix nios2 and microblaze get_user_8() sparc64: fix building assembly files ...

powerpc/lib/sstep: Fix build errors with newer binutils

uaccess: fix type mismatch warnings from access_ok()

2022-02-25T08:36:05Z

On some architectures, access_ok() does not do any argument type checking, so replacing the definition with a generic one causes a few warnings for harmless issues that were never caught before. Fix the ones that I found either through my own test builds or that were reported by the 0-day bot.

powerpc/lib/sstep: fix 'ptesync' build error

Since it looks like it got dropped inadvertently by commit 3cdfcbfd32b9 ("powerpc: Change analyse_instr so it doesn't modify *regs"). A key detail is that analyse_instr() will never recognise lwsync or ptesync on 32-bit (because of the existing ifdef), and as a result emulate_update_regs() should never be called with an op specifying either of those on 32-bit. So removing them from emulate_update_regs() should be a nop in terms of runtime behaviour.
