commit 6ed518328d0189e0fdf1bb7c73290d546143ea66 upstream.
We have one critical section in the syscall entry path in which we switch from
the userspace stack to kernel stack. In the event of an external interrupt, the
interrupt code distinguishes between those two states by analyzing the value of
sr7. If sr7 is zero, it uses the kernel stack. Therefore it's important, that
the value of sr7 is in sync with the currently enabled stack.
This patch now disables interrupts while executing the critical section. This
prevents the interrupt handler to possibly see an inconsistent state which in
the worst case can lead to crashes.
Interestingly, in the syscall exit path interrupts were already disabled in the
critical section which switches back to the userspace stack.

commit 65bf34f59594c11f13d371c5334a6a0a385cd7ae upstream.
Increase the initial kernel default page mapping size for 64-bit kernels to
64 MB and for 32-bit kernels to 32 MB.
Due to the additional support of ftrace, tracepoint and huge pages the kernel
size can exceed the sizes we used up to now.

commit f8850abb7ba68229838014b3409460e576751c6d upstream.
Architecturally we need to keep __gp below 0x1000000.
But because of ftrace and tracepoint support, the RO_DATA_SECTION now gets much
bigger than it was before. By moving the linkage tables before RO_DATA_SECTION
we can avoid that __gp gets positioned at a too high address.

commit 690d097c00c88fa9d93d198591e184164b1d8c20 upstream.
Increase the initial kernel default page mapping size for SMP kernels to 32MB
and add a runtime check which panics early if the kernel is bigger than the
initial mapping size.
This fixes boot crashes of 32bit SMP kernels. Due to the introduction of huge
page support in kernel 4.4 and it's required initial kernel layout in memory, a
32bit SMP kernel usually got bigger (in layout, not size) than 16MB.

commit 3eb53b20d7bd1374598cfb1feaa081fcac0e76cd upstream.
When building gccgo in userspace, errno.h gets parsed and the go include file
sysinfo.go is generated.
Since EREFUSED is defined to the same value as ECONNREFUSED, and ECONNREFUSED
is defined later on in errno.h, this leads to go complaining that EREFUSED
isn't defined yet.
Fix this trivial problem by moving the define of EREFUSED down after
ECONNREFUSED in errno.h (and clean up the indenting while touching this line).

This means the userspace program clock_adjtime called the clock_adjtime()
syscall and then crashed inside the compat_get_timex() function.
Syscalls should never crash programs, but instead return EFAULT.
The IIR register contains the executed instruction, which disassebles
into "ldw 0(sr3,r5),r9".
This load-word instruction is part of __get_user() which tried to read the word
at %r5/IOR (0xfa6f7fff). This means the unaligned handler jumped in. The
unaligned handler is able to emulate all ldw instructions, but it fails if it
fails to read the source e.g. because of page fault.
The following program reproduces the problem:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
int main(void) {
/* allocate 8k */
char *ptr = mmap(NULL, 2*4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
/* free second half (upper 4k) and make it invalid. */
munmap(ptr+4096, 4096);
/* syscall where first int is unaligned and clobbers into invalid memory region */
/* syscall should return EFAULT */
return syscall(__NR_clock_adjtime, 0, ptr+4095);
}
To fix this issue we simply need to check if the faulting instruction address
is in the exception fixup table when the unaligned handler failed. If it
is, call the fixup routine instead of crashing.
While looking at the unaligned handler I found another issue as well: The
target register should not be modified if the handler was unsuccessful.

commit 2ef4dfd9d9f288943e249b78365a69e3ea3ec072 upstream.
Handling exceptions from modules never worked on parisc.
It was just masked by the fact that exceptions from modules
don't happen during normal use.
When a module triggers an exception in get_user() we need to load the
main kernel dp value before accessing the exception_data structure, and
afterwards restore the original dp value of the module on exit.

commit e3893027a300927049efc1572f852201eb785142 upstream.
We want to avoid the kernel module loader to create function pointers
for the kernel fixup routines of get_user() and put_user(). Changing
the external reference from function type to int type fixes this.
This unbreaks exception handling for get_user() and put_user() when
called from a kernel module.

commit c74ba8b3480da6ddaea17df2263ec09b869ac496 upstream.
One of the easiest ways to protect the kernel from attack is to reduce
the internal attack surface exposed when a "write" flaw is available. By
making as much of the kernel read-only as possible, we reduce the
attack surface.
Many things are written to only during __init, and never changed
again. These cannot be made "const" since the compiler will do the wrong
thing (we do actually need to write to them). Instead, move these items
into a memory region that will be made read-only during mark_rodata_ro()
which happens after all kernel __init code has finished.
This introduces __ro_after_init as a way to mark such memory, and adds
some documentation about the existing __read_mostly marking.
This improves the security of the Linux kernel by marking formerly
read-write memory regions as read-only on a fully booted up system.
Based on work by PaX Team and Brad Spengler.

commit 98e8b6c9ac9d1b1e9d1122dfa6783d5d566bb8f7 upstream.
Mike Frysinger reported that his ptrace testcase showed strange
behaviour on parisc: It was not possible to avoid a syscall and the
return value of a syscall couldn't be changed.
To modify a syscall number, we were missing to save the new syscall
number to gr20 which is then picked up later in assembly again.
The effect that the return value couldn't be changed is a side-effect of
another bug in the assembly code. When a process is ptraced, userspace
expects each syscall to report entrance and exit of a syscall. If a
syscall number was given which doesn't exist, we jumped to the normal
syscall exit code instead of informing userspace that the (non-existant)
syscall exits. This unexpected behaviour confuses userspace and thus the
bug was misinterpreted as if we can't change the return value.
This patch fixes both problems and was tested on 64bit kernel with
32bit userspace.

commit e60fc5aa608eb38b47ba4ee058f306f739eb70a0 upstream.
On a 64bit kernel build the compiler aligns the _sifields union in the
struct siginfo_t on a 64bit address. The __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE define
compensates for this alignment and thus fixes the wait testcase of the
strace package.
The symptoms of a wrong __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE value is that
_sigchld.si_stime variable is missed to be copied and thus after a
copy_siginfo() will have uninitialized values.

commit b0e551313ebde17764f3a5ed273df524d1e7e690 upstream.
PA-RISC doesn't have atomic instructions to modify page table entries, so it
takes spinlock in the TLB handler and modifies the page table entry
non-atomically. If you modify the page table entry without the spinlock, you
may race with TLB handler on another CPU and your modification may be lost.
Protect against that with usage of purge_tlb_start() and purge_tlb_end() which
handles the TLB spinlock.

On parisc syscalls which are interrupted by signals sometimes failed to
restart and instead returned -ENOSYS which in the worst case lead to
userspace crashes.
A similiar problem existed on MIPS and was fixed by commit e967ef02
("MIPS: Fix restart of indirect syscalls").
On parisc the current syscall restart code assumes that all syscall
callers load the syscall number in the delay slot of the ble
instruction. That's how it is e.g. done in the unistd.h header file:
ble 0x100(%sr2, %r0)
ldi #syscall_nr, %r20
Because of that assumption the current code never restored %r20 before
returning to userspace.
This assumption is at least not true for code which uses the glibc
syscall() function, which instead uses this syntax:
ble 0x100(%sr2, %r0)
copy regX, %r20
where regX depend on how the compiler optimizes the code and register
usage.
This patch fixes this problem by adding code to analyze how the syscall
number is loaded in the delay branch and - if needed - copy the syscall
number to regX prior returning to userspace for the syscall restart.

This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge
pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels.
A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on
huge pages.
The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a
PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support
variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default.
Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to
emulate standard 2MB huge pages.

For the 64bit kernel the initially 16 MB kernel memory might become too
small if you build a kernel with many modules built-in and with kernel
text and data areas mapped on huge pages.
This patch increases the initial mapping to 32MB for 64bit kernels and
keeps 16MB for 32bit kernels.

A fault vector on parisc needs to be 2K aligned. Furthermore the
checksum of the fault vector needs to sum up to 0 which is being
calculated and written at runtime.
Up to now we aligned both PA20 and PA11 fault vectors on the same 4K
page in order to easily write the checksum after having mapped the
kernel read-only (by mapping this page only as read-write).
But when we want to map the kernel text and data on huge pages this
makes things harder.
So, simplify it by aligning both fault vectors on 2K boundries and write
the checksum before we map the page read-only.

Huge pages on parisc will have the same size as one pmd table, which
is on a 64bit kernel 2MB on a kernel with 4K kernel page sizes, and
on a 32bit kernel 4MB when used with 4K kernel pages.
Since parisc does not physically supports 2MB huge page sizes, emulate
it with two consecutive 1MB page sizes instead. Keeping the same huge
page size as one pmd will allow us to add transparent huge page support
later on.
Bit 21 in the pte flags was unused and will now be used to mark a page
as huge page (_PAGE_HPAGE_BIT).

"We have two patches in here:
- The parisc uapi headers have been screwed up since quite some time.
This patch fixes some bugs (e.g. endianess not respected in
compat_semid64_ds) and cleans them up (e.g. uid_t was used instead
of __kernel_uid_t) so that they can be used by userspace again.
This patch has been reviewed by Arnd Bergmann and is scheduled for
stable kernel series.
- Drop the hpux_stat64 struct from stat.h, we do not support HP-UX
binaries since kernel 4.0"

This patch fixes some bugs and partly cleans up the parisc uapi header
files to what glibc defined:
- compat_semid64_ds was wrong and did not take the endianess into
account
- ipc64_perm exported userspace types which broke building userspace
packages on debian (e.g. trinity)
- ipc64_perm needs to use a 32bit mode_t on 64bit kernel
- msqid64_ds and semid64_ds needs unsigned longs for various struct members
- shmid64_ds exported size_t instead of __kernel_size_t
And finally add some compile-time checks for the sizes of those structs
to avoid future breakage.
Runtime-tested with the Linux Test Project (LTP) testsuite.

The previous patch introduced a flag that specified pages in a VMA should
be placed on the unevictable LRU, but they should not be made present when
the area is created. This patch adds the ability to set this state via
the new mlock system calls.
We add MLOCK_ONFAULT for mlock2 and MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall.
MLOCK_ONFAULT will set the VM_LOCKONFAULT modifier for VM_LOCKED.
MCL_ONFAULT should be used as a modifier to the two other mlockall flags.
When used with MCL_CURRENT, all current mappings will be marked with
VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with MCL_FUTURE, the mm->def_flags
will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with both
MCL_CURRENT and MCL_FUTURE, all current mappings and mm->def_flags will be
marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.
Prior to this patch, mlockall() will unconditionally clear the
mm->def_flags any time it is called without MCL_FUTURE. This behavior is
maintained after adding MCL_ONFAULT. If a call to mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) is
followed by mlockall(MCL_CURRENT), the mm->def_flags will be cleared and
new VMAs will be unlocked. This remains true with or without MCL_ONFAULT
in either mlockall() invocation.
munlock() will unconditionally clear both vma flags. munlockall()
unconditionally clears for VMA flags on all VMAs and in the mm->def_flags
field.

"The most important change is that we reduce L1_CACHE_BYTES to 16
bytes, for which a trivial patch for XPS in the network layer was
needed. Then we wire up the sys_membarrier and userfaultfd syscalls
and added two other small cleanups"

Change L1_CACHE_BYTES to 16 bytes.
Tested for 16 days on rp3440.
Additional remarks from Helge Deller:
Saves ~17 kb of kernel code/data and gives a slight performance improvement in
various test cases.

This patch makes sure that atomic_{read,set}() are at least
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE().
We already had the 'requirement' that atomic_read() should use
ACCESS_ONCE(), and most archs had this, but a few were lacking.
All are now converted to use READ_ONCE().
And, by a symmetry and general paranoia argument, upgrade atomic_set()
to use WRITE_ONCE().
