Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:

 - On 32-bit fix overread/overwrite of thread_struct via ptrace
   PEEK/POKE.

 - Fix softirqs not switching to the softirq stack since we moved
   irq_exit().

 - Force thread size increase when KASAN is enabled to avoid stack
   overflows.

 - On Book3s 64 mark more code as not to be instrumented by KASAN to
   avoid crashes.

 - Exempt __get_wchan() from KASAN checking, as it's inherently racy.

 - Fix a recently introduced crash in the papr_scm driver in some
   configurations.

 - Remove include of &lt;generated/compile.h&gt; which is forbidden.

<content type='text'>
The ptrace PEEKUSR/POKEUSR (aka PEEKUSER/POKEUSER) API allows a process
to read/write registers of another process.

To get/set a register, the API takes an index into an imaginary address
space called the "USER area", where the registers of the process are
laid out in some fashion.

The kernel then maps that index to a particular register in its own data
structures and gets/sets the value.

The API only allows a single machine-word to be read/written at a time.
So 4 bytes on 32-bit kernels and 8 bytes on 64-bit kernels.

The way floating point registers (FPRs) are addressed is somewhat
complicated, because double precision float values are 64-bit even on
32-bit CPUs. That means on 32-bit kernels each FPR occupies two
word-sized locations in the USER area. On 64-bit kernels each FPR
occupies one word-sized location in the USER area.

Internally the kernel stores the FPRs in an array of u64s, or if VSX is
enabled, an array of pairs of u64s where one half of each pair stores
the FPR. Which half of the pair stores the FPR depends on the kernel's
endianness.

To handle the different layouts of the FPRs depending on VSX/no-VSX and
big/little endian, the TS_FPR() macro was introduced.

Unfortunately the TS_FPR() macro does not take into account the fact
that the addressing of each FPR differs between 32-bit and 64-bit
kernels. It just takes the index into the "USER area" passed from
userspace and indexes into the fp_state.fpr array.

On 32-bit there are 64 indexes that address FPRs, but only 32 entries in
the fp_state.fpr array, meaning the user can read/write 256 bytes past
the end of the array. Because the fp_state sits in the middle of the
thread_struct there are various fields than can be overwritten,
including some pointers. As such it may be exploitable.

It has also been observed to cause systems to hang or otherwise
misbehave when using gdbserver, and is probably the root cause of this
report which could not be easily reproduced:
  https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/dc38afe9-6b78-f3f5-666b-986939e40fc6@keymile.com/

Rather than trying to make the TS_FPR() macro even more complicated to
fix the bug, or add more macros, instead add a special-case for 32-bit
kernels. This is more obvious and hopefully avoids a similar bug
happening again in future.

Note that because 32-bit kernels never have VSX enabled the code doesn't
need to consider TS_FPRWIDTH/OFFSET at all. Add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to
ensure that 32-bit &amp;&amp; VSX is never enabled.

You cannot include &lt;generated/compile.h&gt; here because it is generated
in init/Makefile but there is no guarantee that it happens before
arch/powerpc/mm/nohash/kaslr_booke.c is compiled for parallel builds.

The places where you can reliably include &lt;generated/compile.h&gt; are:

  - init/          (because init/Makefile can specify the dependency)
  - arch/*/boot/   (because it is compiled after vmlinux)

Commit f231e4333312 ("hexagon: get rid of #include &lt;generated/compile.h&gt;")
fixed the last breakage at that time, but powerpc re-added this.

&lt;generated/compile.h&gt; was unneeded because 'build_str' is almost the
same as 'linux_banner' defined in init/version.c

Let's copy the solution from MIPS.
(get_random_boot() in arch/mips/kernel/relocate.c)

Pull kthread updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This updates init and user mode helper tasks to be ordinary user mode
  tasks.

  Commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for
  all kthreads") caused init and the user mode helper threads that call
  kernel_execve to have struct kthread allocated for them. This struct
  kthread going away during execve in turned made a use after free of
  struct kthread possible.

  Here, commit 343f4c49f243 ("kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for
  init and umh") is enough to fix the use after free and is simple
  enough to be backportable.

  The rest of the changes pass struct kernel_clone_args to clean things
  up and cause the code to make sense.

  In making init and the user mode helpers tasks purely user mode tasks
  I ran into two complications. The function task_tick_numa was
  detecting tasks without an mm by testing for the presence of
  PF_KTHREAD. The initramfs code in populate_initrd_image was using
  flush_delayed_fput to ensuere the closing of all it's file descriptors
  was complete, and flush_delayed_fput does not work in a userspace
  thread.

  I have looked and looked and more complications and in my code review
  I have not found any, and neither has anyone else with the code
  sitting in linux-next"

Commit c01013a2f8dd ("powerpc: add asm/stat.h to UAPI compile-test
coverage") converted as follows:

  uid_t  --&gt;  __kernel_uid_t
  gid_t  --&gt;  __kernel_gid_t

The bit width of __kernel_{uid,gid}_t is 16 or 32-bits depending on
architectures.

PPC uses 32-bits for them as in include/uapi/asm-generic/posix_types.h,
so the previous conversion is probably fine, but let's stick to the
arch-independent conversion just in case.

The safe replacements across all architectures are:

  uid_t  --&gt;  __kernel_uid32_t
  gid_t  --&gt;  __kernel_gid32_t

as defined in include/linux/types.h.

A similar issue was reported for the android binder. [1]

KASAN causes increased stack usage, which can lead to stack overflows.

The logic in Kconfig to suggest a larger default doesn't work if a user
has CONFIG_EXPERT enabled and has an existing .config with a smaller
value.

Follow the lead of x86 and arm64, and force the thread size to be
increased when KASAN is enabled.

That also has the effect of enlarging the stack for 64-bit KASAN builds,
which is also desirable.
