<content type='text'>
The hypervisor may not have full access to the kernel data structures
and hence cannot safely use cpus_have_cap() helper for checking the
system capability. Add a safe helper for hypervisors to check a constant
system capability, which *doesn't* fall back to checking the bitmap
maintained by the kernel. With this, make the cpus_have_cap() only
check the bitmask and force constant cap checks to use the new API
for quicker checks.

<title>arm64: split thread_info from task stack</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c02433dd6de32f042cf3ffe476746b1115b8c096</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch moves arm64's struct thread_info from the task stack into
task_struct. This protects thread_info from corruption in the case of
stack overflows, and makes its address harder to determine if stack
addresses are leaked, making a number of attacks more difficult. Precise
detection and handling of overflow is left for subsequent patches.

Largely, this involves changing code to store the task_struct in sp_el0,
and acquire the thread_info from the task struct. Core code now
implements current_thread_info(), and as noted in &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; this
relies on offsetof(task_struct, thread_info) == 0, enforced by core
code.

This change means that the 'tsk' register used in entry.S now points to
a task_struct, rather than a thread_info as it used to. To make this
clear, the TI_* field offsets are renamed to TSK_TI_*, with asm-offsets
appropriately updated to account for the structural change.

Userspace clobbers sp_el0, and we can no longer restore this from the
stack. Instead, the current task is cached in a per-cpu variable that we
can safely access from early assembly as interrupts are disabled (and we
are thus not preemptible).

Both secondary entry and idle are updated to stash the sp and task
pointer separately.

<title>arm64: prep stack walkers for THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK</title>

<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is selected, task stacks may be freed
before a task is destroyed. To account for this, the stacks are
refcounted, and when manipulating the stack of another task, it is
necessary to get/put the stack to ensure it isn't freed and/or re-used
while we do so.

This patch reworks the arm64 stack walking code to account for this.
When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is not selected these perform no
refcounting, and this should only be a structural change that does not
affect behaviour.

<id>urn:sha1:db4b0710fae90a4407bfa77b23db396e580b9e23</id>
<content type='text'>
Recently in commit 4bcc595ccd80decb ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for
printing continuation lines"), the behaviour of printk changed w.r.t.
KERN_CONT. Now, KERN_CONT is mandatory to continue existing lines.
Without this, prefixes are inserted, making output illegible, e.g.

[ 1007.069010] pc : [&lt;ffff00000871898c&gt;] lr : [&lt;ffff000008718948&gt;] pstate: 40000145
[ 1007.076329] sp : ffff000008d53ec0
[ 1007.079606] x29: ffff000008d53ec0 [ 1007.082797] x28: 0000000080c50018
[ 1007.086160]
[ 1007.087630] x27: ffff000008e0c7f8 [ 1007.090820] x26: ffff80097631ca00
[ 1007.094183]
[ 1007.095653] x25: 0000000000000001 [ 1007.098843] x24: 000000ea68b61cac
[ 1007.102206]

... or when dumped with the userpace dmesg tool, which has slightly
different implicit newline behaviour. e.g.

[ 1007.069010] pc : [&lt;ffff00000871898c&gt;] lr : [&lt;ffff000008718948&gt;] pstate: 40000145
[ 1007.076329] sp : ffff000008d53ec0
[ 1007.079606] x29: ffff000008d53ec0
[ 1007.082797] x28: 0000000080c50018
[ 1007.086160]
[ 1007.087630] x27: ffff000008e0c7f8
[ 1007.090820] x26: ffff80097631ca00
[ 1007.094183]
[ 1007.095653] x25: 0000000000000001
[ 1007.098843] x24: 000000ea68b61cac
[ 1007.102206]

We can't simply always use KERN_CONT for lines which may or may not be
continuations. That causes line prefixes (e.g. timestamps) to be
supressed, and the alignment of all but the first line will be broken.

For even more fun, we can't simply insert some dummy empty-string printk
calls, as GCC warns for an empty printk string, and even if we pass
KERN_DEFAULT explcitly to silence the warning, the prefix gets swallowed
unless there is an additional part to the string.

Instead, we must manually iterate over pairs of registers, which gives
us the legible output we want in either case, e.g.

[  169.771790] pc : [&lt;ffff00000871898c&gt;] lr : [&lt;ffff000008718948&gt;] pstate: 40000145

<content type='text'>
The suspend/resume path in kernel/sleep.S, as used by cpu-idle, does not
save/restore PSTATE. As a result of this cpufeatures that were detected
and have bits in PSTATE get lost when we resume from idle.

UAO gets set appropriately on the next context switch. PAN will be
re-enabled next time we return from user-space, but on a preemptible
kernel we may run work accessing user space before this point.

Add code to re-enable theses two features in __cpu_suspend_exit().
We re-use uao_thread_switch() passing current.

<title>arm64: use simpler API for random address requests</title>

Currently, all callers to randomize_range() set the length to 0 and
calculate end by adding a constant to the start address.  We can simplify
the API to remove a bunch of needless checks and variables.

Use the new randomize_addr(start, range) call to set the requested
address.

<content type='text'>
A while back we added {read,write}_sysreg accessors to handle accesses
to system registers, without the usual boilerplate asm volatile,
temporary variable, etc.

This patch makes use of these across arm64 to make code shorter and
clearer. For sequences with a trailing ISB, the existing isb() macro is
also used so that asm blocks can be removed entirely.

A few uses of inline assembly for msr/mrs are left as-is. Those
manipulating sp_el0 for the current thread_info value have special
clobber requiremends.

copy_thread should not be enforcing 16 byte aligment and returning
-EINVAL. Other architectures trap misaligned stack access with SIGBUS
so arm64 should follow this convention, so remove the strict enforcement
check.

For example, currently clone(2) fails with -EINVAL when passing
a misaligned stack and this gives little clue to what is wrong. Instead,
it is arguable that a SIGBUS on the fist access to a misaligned stack
allows one to figure out that it is a misaligned stack issue rather
than trying to figure out why an unconventional (and undocumented)
-EINVAL is being returned.

<title>arm64: kernel: Fix incorrect brk randomization</title>

<id>urn:sha1:61462c8a6b140fe2f93cb911684837e05950e680</id>
<content type='text'>
This fixes two issues with the arm64 brk randomziation. First, the
STACK_RND_MASK was being used incorrectly. The original code was:

	unsigned long range_end = base + (STACK_RND_MASK &lt;&lt; PAGE_SHIFT) + 1;

STACK_RND_MASK is 0x7ff (32-bit) or 0x3ffff (64-bit), with 4K pages where
PAGE_SHIFT is 12:

	#define STACK_RND_MASK	(test_thread_flag(TIF_32BIT) ? \
						0x7ff &gt;&gt; (PAGE_SHIFT - 12) : \
						0x3ffff &gt;&gt; (PAGE_SHIFT - 12))

This means the resulting offset from base would be 0x7ff0001 or 0x3ffff0001,
which is wrong since it creates an unaligned end address. It was likely
intended to be:

	unsigned long range_end = base + ((STACK_RND_MASK + 1) &lt;&lt; PAGE_SHIFT)

Which would result in offsets of 0x800000 (32-bit) and 0x40000000 (64-bit).

However, even this corrected 32-bit compat offset (0x00800000) is much
smaller than native ARM's brk randomization value (0x02000000):

	unsigned long arch_randomize_brk(struct mm_struct *mm)
	{
	        unsigned long range_end = mm-&gt;brk + 0x02000000;
	        return randomize_range(mm-&gt;brk, range_end, 0) ? : mm-&gt;brk;
	}

So, instead of basing arm64's brk randomization on mistaken STACK_RND_MASK
calculations, just use specific corrected values for compat (0x2000000)
and native arm64 (0x40000000).
