<title>powerpc/tm: Fix clearing MSR[TS] in current when reclaiming on signal delivery</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2464cc4c345699adea52c7aef75707207cb8a2f6</id>
<content type='text'>
After a treclaim, we expect to be in non-transactional state. If we
don't clear the current thread's MSR[TS] before we get preempted, then
tm_recheckpoint_new_task() will recheckpoint and we get rescheduled in
suspended transaction state.

When handling a signal caught in transactional state,
handle_rt_signal64() calls get_tm_stackpointer() that treclaims the
transaction using tm_reclaim_current() but without clearing the
thread's MSR[TS]. This can cause the TM Bad Thing exception below if
later we pagefault and get preempted trying to access the user's
sigframe, using __put_user(). Afterwards, when we are rescheduled back
into do_page_fault() (but now in suspended state since the thread's
MSR[TS] was not cleared), upon executing 'rfid' after completion of
the page fault handling, the exception is raised because a transition
from suspended to non-transactional state is invalid.

The simplified sequence of events that triggers the above exception is:

  ...				# userspace in NON-TRANSACTIONAL state
  tbegin			# userspace in TRANSACTIONAL state
  signal delivery		# kernelspace in SUSPENDED state
  handle_rt_signal64()
    get_tm_stackpointer()
      treclaim			# kernelspace in NON-TRANSACTIONAL state
    __put_user()
      page fault happens. We will never get back here because of the TM Bad Thing exception.

  page fault handling kicks in and we voluntarily preempt ourselves
  do_page_fault()
    __schedule()
      __switch_to(other_task)

  our task is rescheduled and we recheckpoint because the thread's MSR[TS] was not cleared
  __switch_to(our_task)
    switch_to_tm()
      tm_recheckpoint_new_task()
        trechkpt			# kernelspace in SUSPENDED state

  The page fault handling resumes, but now we are in suspended transaction state
  do_page_fault()    completes
  rfid     &lt;----- trying to get back where the page fault happened (we were non-transactional back then)
  TM Bad Thing			# illegal transition from suspended to non-transactional

This patch fixes that issue by clearing the current thread's MSR[TS]
just after treclaim in get_tm_stackpointer() so that we stay in
non-transactional state in case we are preempted. In order to make
treclaim and clearing the thread's MSR[TS] atomic from a preemption
perspective when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set, preempt_disable/enable() is
used. It's also necessary to save the previous value of the thread's
MSR before get_tm_stackpointer() is called so that it can be exposed
to the signal handler later in setup_tm_sigcontexts() to inform the
userspace MSR at the moment of the signal delivery.

Found with tm-signal-context-force-tm kernel selftest.

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

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.

<title>rseq: Avoid infinite recursion when delivering SIGSEGV</title>

When delivering a signal to a task that is using rseq, we call into
__rseq_handle_notify_resume() so that the registers pushed in the
sigframe are updated to reflect the state of the restartable sequence
(for example, ensuring that the signal returns to the abort handler if
necessary).

However, if the rseq management fails due to an unrecoverable fault when
accessing userspace or certain combinations of RSEQ_CS_* flags, then we
will attempt to deliver a SIGSEGV. This has the potential for infinite
recursion if the rseq code continuously fails on signal delivery.

Avoid this problem by using force_sigsegv() instead of force_sig(), which
is explicitly designed to reset the SEGV handler to SIG_DFL in the case
of a recursive fault. In doing so, remove rseq_signal_deliver() from the
internal rseq API and have an optional struct ksignal * parameter to
rseq_handle_notify_resume() instead.

 "The restartable sequences syscall (finally):

  After a lot of back and forth discussion and massive delays caused by

  restartable sequences has finally reached a consensus.

  It comes with the basic non disputed core implementation along with
  support for arm, powerpc and x86 and a full set of selftests

<title>powerpc: Check address limit on user-mode return (TIF_FSCHECK)</title>

<content type='text'>
set_fs() sets the addr_limit, which is used in access_ok() to
determine if an address is a user or kernel address.

Some code paths use set_fs() to temporarily elevate the addr_limit so
that kernel code can read/write kernel memory as if it were user
memory. That is fine as long as the code can't ever return to
userspace with the addr_limit still elevated.

If that did happen, then userspace can read/write kernel memory as if
it were user memory, eg. just with write(2). In case it's not clear,
that is very bad. It has also happened in the past due to bugs.

Commit 5ea0727b163c ("x86/syscalls: Check address limit on user-mode
return") added a mechanism to check the addr_limit value before
returning to userspace. Any call to set_fs() sets a thread flag,
TIF_FSCHECK, and if we see that on the return to userspace we go out
of line to check that the addr_limit value is not elevated.

For further info see the above commit, as well as:
  https://lwn.net/Articles/722267/
  https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=990

Verified to work on 64-bit Book3S using a POC that objdumps the system
call handler, and a modified lkdtm_CORRUPT_USER_DS() that doesn't kill
the caller.

Performance overhead is essentially zero in the usual case, because
the bit is checked as part of the existing _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK check.

Pull livepatching updates from Jiri Kosina:

 - handle 'infinitely'-long sleeping tasks, from Miroslav Benes

 - remove 'immediate' feature, as it turns out it doesn't provide the
   originally expected semantics, and brings more issues than value

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching:
  livepatch: add locking to force and signal functions
  livepatch: Remove immediate feature
  livepatch: force transition to finish
  livepatch: send a fake signal to all blocking tasks

Live patching consistency model is of LEAVE_PATCHED_SET and
SWITCH_THREAD. This means that all tasks in the system have to be marked
one by one as safe to call a new patched function. Safe means when a
task is not (sleeping) in a set of patched functions. That is, no
patched function is on the task's stack. Another clearly safe place is
the boundary between kernel and userspace. The patching waits for all
tasks to get outside of the patched set or to cross the boundary. The
transition is completed afterwards.

The problem is that a task can block the transition for quite a long
time, if not forever. It could sleep in a set of patched functions, for
example.  Luckily we can force the task to leave the set by sending it a
fake signal, that is a signal with no data in signal pending structures
(no handler, no sign of proper signal delivered). Suspend/freezer use
this to freeze the tasks as well. The task gets TIF_SIGPENDING set and
is woken up (if it has been sleeping in the kernel before) or kicked by
rescheduling IPI (if it was running on other CPU). This causes the task
to go to kernel/userspace boundary where the signal would be handled and
the task would be marked as safe in terms of live patching.

There are tasks which are not affected by this technique though. The
fake signal is not sent to kthreads. They should be handled differently.
They can be woken up so they leave the patched set and their
TIF_PATCH_PENDING can be cleared thanks to stack checking.

For the sake of completeness, if the task is in TASK_RUNNING state but
not currently running on some CPU it doesn't get the IPI, but it would
eventually handle the signal anyway. Second, if the task runs in the
kernel (in TASK_RUNNING state) it gets the IPI, but the signal is not
handled on return from the interrupt. It would be handled on return to
the userspace in the future when the fake signal is sent again. Stack
checking deals with these cases in a better way.

If the task was sleeping in a syscall it would be woken by our fake
signal, it would check if TIF_SIGPENDING is set (by calling
signal_pending() predicate) and return ERESTART* or EINTR. Syscalls with
ERESTART* return values are restarted in case of the fake signal (see
do_signal()). EINTR is propagated back to the userspace program. This
could disturb the program, but...

* each process dealing with signals should react accordingly to EINTR
  return values.
* syscalls returning EINTR happen to be quite common situation in the
  system even if no fake signal is sent.
* freezer sends the fake signal and does not deal with EINTR anyhow.
  Thus EINTR values are returned when the system is resumed.

The very safe marking is done in architectures' "entry" on syscall and
interrupt/exception exit paths, and in a stack checking functions of
livepatch.  TIF_PATCH_PENDING is cleared and the next
recalc_sigpending() drops TIF_SIGPENDING. In connection with this, also
call klp_update_patch_state() before do_signal(), so that
recalc_sigpending() in dequeue_signal() can clear TIF_PATCH_PENDING
immediately and thus prevent a double call of do_signal().

Note that the fake signal is not sent to stopped/traced tasks. Such task
prevents the patching to finish till it continues again (is not traced
anymore).

Last, sending the fake signal is not automatic. It is done only when
admin requests it by writing 1 to signal sysfs attribute in livepatch
sysfs directory.
