<title>x86: __memcpy_flushcache: fix wrong alignment if size &gt; 2^32</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a6823e4e360fe975bd3da4ab156df7c74c8b07f3</id>
<content type='text'>
The first "if" condition in __memcpy_flushcache is supposed to align the
"dest" variable to 8 bytes and copy data up to this alignment.  However,
this condition may misbehave if "size" is greater than 4GiB.

The statement min_t(unsigned, size, ALIGN(dest, 8) - dest); casts both
arguments to unsigned int and selects the smaller one.  However, the
cast truncates high bits in "size" and it results in misbehavior.

For example:

	suppose that size == 0x100000001, dest == 0x200000002
	min_t(unsigned, size, ALIGN(dest, 8) - dest) == min_t(0x1, 0xe) == 0x1;
	...
	dest += 0x1;

so we copy just one byte "and" dest remains unaligned.

This patch fixes the bug by replacing unsigned with size_t.

Typically usercopy does whole word copies followed by a number of byte
copies to finish the tail. This means that on exception it needs to
compute the remaining length as: words*sizeof(long) + bytes.

Create a new extable handler to do just this.

Pull RAS updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Extend the recovery from MCE in kernel space also to processes which
   encounter an MCE in kernel space but while copying from user memory
   by sending them a SIGBUS on return to user space and umapping the
   faulty memory, by Tony Luck and Youquan Song.

 - memcpy_mcsafe() rework by splitting the functionality into
   copy_mc_to_user() and copy_mc_to_kernel(). This, as a result, enables
   support for new hardware which can recover from a machine check
   encountered during a fast string copy and makes that the default and
   lets the older hardware which does not support that advance recovery,
   opt in to use the old, fragile, slow variant, by Dan Williams.

 - New AMD hw enablement, by Yazen Ghannam and Akshay Gupta.

 - Do not use MSR-tracing accessors in #MC context and flag any fault
   while accessing MCA architectural MSRs as an architectural violation
   with the hope that such hw/fw misdesigns are caught early during the
   hw eval phase and they don't make it into production.

 - Misc fixes, improvements and cleanups, as always.

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.

Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

  &gt; &gt; However now I see that copy_user_generic() works for the wrong reason.
  &gt; &gt; It works because the exception on the source address due to poison
  &gt; &gt; looks no different than a write fault on the user address to the
  &gt; &gt; caller, it's still just a short copy. So it makes copy_to_user() work
  &gt; &gt; for the wrong reason relative to the name.
  &gt;
  &gt; Right.
  &gt;
  &gt; And it won't work that way on other architectures. On x86, we have a
  &gt; generic function that can take faults on either side, and we use it
  &gt; for both cases (and for the "in_user" case too), but that's an
  &gt; artifact of the architecture oddity.
  &gt;
  &gt; In fact, it's probably wrong even on x86 - because it can hide bugs -
  &gt; but writing those things is painful enough that everybody prefers
  &gt; having just one function.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().

Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.

One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

If we copy less than 8 bytes and if the destination crosses a cache
line, __copy_user_flushcache would invalidate only the first cache line.

This patch makes it invalidate the second cache line as well.

<title>x86/asm/64: Align start of __clear_user() loop to 16-bytes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bb5570ad3b54e7930997aec76ab68256d5236d94</id>
<content type='text'>
x86 CPUs can suffer severe performance drops if a tight loop, such as
the ones in __clear_user(), straddles a 16-byte instruction fetch
window, or worse, a 64-byte cacheline. This issues was discovered in the
SUSE kernel with the following commit,

  1153933703d9 ("x86/asm/64: Micro-optimize __clear_user() - Use immediate constants")

which increased the code object size from 10 bytes to 15 bytes and
caused the 8-byte copy loop in __clear_user() to be split across a
64-byte cacheline.

Aligning the start of the loop to 16-bytes makes this fit neatly inside
a single instruction fetch window again and restores the performance of
__clear_user() which is used heavily when reading from /dev/zero.

Here are some numbers from running libmicro's read_z* and pread_z*
microbenchmarks which read from /dev/zero:

Note that this doesn't affect Haswell or Broadwell microarchitectures
which seem to avoid the alignment issue by executing the loop straight
out of the Loop Stream Detector (verified using perf events).

After adding mcsafe_handle_tail() to the objtool uaccess safe list,
objtool reports:

  arch/x86/lib/usercopy_64.o: warning: objtool: mcsafe_handle_tail()+0x0: call to __fentry__() with UACCESS enabled

With SMAP, this function is called with AC=1, so it needs to be careful
about which functions it calls.  Disable the ftrace entry hook, which
can potentially pull in a lot of extra code.

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.
