<id>urn:sha1:c1fe190c06723322f2dfac31d3b982c581e434ef</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds a flag so that the DAWR can be enabled on P9 via:
  echo Y &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/dawr_enable_dangerous

The DAWR was previously force disabled on POWER9 in:
  9654153158 powerpc: Disable DAWR in the base POWER9 CPU features
Also see Documentation/powerpc/DAWR-POWER9.txt

This is a dangerous setting, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Some users may not care about a bad user crashing their box
(ie. single user/desktop systems) and really want the DAWR.  This
allows them to force enable DAWR.

This flag can also be used to disable DAWR access. Once this is
cleared, all DAWR access should be cleared immediately and your
machine once again safe from crashing.

Userspace may get confused by toggling this. If DAWR is force
enabled/disabled between getting the number of breakpoints (via
PTRACE_GETHWDBGINFO) and setting the breakpoint, userspace will get an
inconsistent view of what's available. Similarly for guests.

For the DAWR to be enabled in a KVM guest, the DAWR needs to be force
enabled in the host AND the guest. For this reason, this won't work on
POWERVM as it doesn't allow the HCALL to work. Writes of 'Y' to the
dawr_enable_dangerous file will fail if the hypervisor doesn't support
writing the DAWR.

To double check the DAWR is working, run this kernel selftest:
  tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/ptrace/ptrace-hwbreak.c
Any errors/failures/skips mean something is wrong.

<title>powerpc/ptrace: Simplify vr_get/set() to avoid GCC warning</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ca6d5149d2ad0a8d2f9c28cbe379802260a0a5e0</id>
<content type='text'>
GCC 8 warns about the logic in vr_get/set(), which with -Werror breaks
the build:

  In function ‘user_regset_copyin’,
      inlined from ‘vr_set’ at arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:628:9:
  include/linux/regset.h:295:4: error: ‘memcpy’ offset [-527, -529] is
  out of the bounds [0, 16] of object ‘vrsave’ with type ‘union
  &lt;anonymous&gt;’ [-Werror=array-bounds]
  arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c: In function ‘vr_set’:
  arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:623:5: note: ‘vrsave’ declared here
     } vrsave;

This has been identified as a regression in GCC, see GCC bug 88273.

However we can avoid the warning and also simplify the logic and make
it more robust.

Currently we pass -1 as end_pos to user_regset_copyout(). This says
"copy up to the end of the regset".

The definition of the regset is:
	[REGSET_VMX] = {
		.core_note_type = NT_PPC_VMX, .n = 34,
		.size = sizeof(vector128), .align = sizeof(vector128),
		.active = vr_active, .get = vr_get, .set = vr_set
	},

The end is calculated as (n * size), ie. 34 * sizeof(vector128).

In vr_get/set() we pass start_pos as 33 * sizeof(vector128), meaning
we can copy up to sizeof(vector128) into/out-of vrsave.

The on-stack vrsave is defined as:
  union {
	  elf_vrreg_t reg;
	  u32 word;
  } vrsave;

And elf_vrreg_t is:
  typedef __vector128 elf_vrreg_t;

So there is no bug, but we rely on all those sizes lining up,
otherwise we would have a kernel stack exposure/overwrite on our
hands.

Rather than relying on that we can pass an explict end_pos based on
the sizeof(vrsave). The result should be exactly the same but it's
more obviously not over-reading/writing the stack and it avoids the
compiler warning.

<title>powerpc/ptrace: Mitigate potential Spectre v1</title>

'regno' is directly controlled by user space, hence leading to a potential
exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

On PTRACE_SETREGS and PTRACE_GETREGS requests, user space passes the
register number that would be read or written. This register number is
called 'regno' which is part of the 'addr' syscall parameter.

This 'regno' value is checked against the maximum pt_regs structure size,
and then used to dereference it, which matches the initial part of a
Spectre v1 (and Spectre v1.1) attack. The dereferenced value, then,
is returned to userspace in the GETREGS case.

This patch sanitizes 'regno' before using it to dereference pt_reg.

Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].

Arch code should use tracehook_*() helpers, as documented in
include/linux/tracehook.h, ptrace_report_syscall() is not expected to
be used outside that file.

The patch does not look very nice, but at least it is correct
and opens the way for PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO API.

<title>powerpc/64: Interrupts save PPR on stack rather than thread_struct</title>

PPR is the odd register out when it comes to interrupt handling, it is
saved in current-&gt;thread.ppr while all others are saved on the stack.

The difficulty with this is that accessing thread.ppr can cause a SLB
fault, but the SLB fault handler implementation in C change had
assumed the normal exception entry handlers would not cause an SLB
fault.

Fix this by allocating room in the interrupt stack to save PPR.

<title>powerpc/ptrace: Don't use sizeof(struct pt_regs) in ptrace code</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that we've split the user &amp; kernel versions of pt_regs we need to
be more careful in the ptrace code.

For now we've ensured the location of the fields in both structs is
the same, so most of the ptrace code doesn't need updating.

But there are a few places where we use sizeof(pt_regs), and these
will be wrong as soon as we increase the size of the kernel structure.

So flip them all to use sizeof(user_pt_regs).

<title>powerpc: Split user/kernel definitions of struct pt_regs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:002af9391bfbe84f8e491bb10bd9c6001a6becee</id>
<content type='text'>
We use a shared definition for struct pt_regs in uapi/asm/ptrace.h.
That means the layout of the structure is ABI, ie. we can't change it.

That would be fine if it was only used to describe the user-visible
register state of a process, but it's also the struct we use in the
kernel to describe the registers saved in an interrupt frame.

We'd like more flexibility in the content (and possibly layout) of the
kernel version of the struct, but currently that's not possible.

So split the definition into a user-visible definition which remains
unchanged, and a kernel internal one.

At the moment they're still identical, and we check that at build
time. That's because we have code (in ptrace etc.) that assumes that
they are the same. We will fix that code in future patches, and then
we can break the strict symmetry between the two structs.

<title>powerpc/ptrace: Add support for PTRACE_SYSEMU</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5521eb4bca2db733952f068c37bdf3cd656ad23c</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a patch that adds support for PTRACE_SYSEMU ptrace request in
PowerPC architecture.

When ptrace(PTRACE_SYSEMU, ...) request is called, it will be handled by
the arch independent function ptrace_resume(), which will tag the task with
the TIF_SYSCALL_EMU flag. This flag needs to be handled from a platform
dependent point of view, which is what this patch does.

This patch adds this task's flag as part of the _TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE, which
is the MACRO that is used to trace syscalls at entrance/exit.

Since TIF_SYSCALL_EMU is now part of _TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE, if the task has
_TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE set, it will hit do_syscall_trace_enter() at syscall
entrance and do_syscall_trace_leave() at syscall leave.
do_syscall_trace_enter() needs to handle the TIF_SYSCALL_EMU flag properly,
which will interrupt the syscall executing if TIF_SYSCALL_EMU is set. The
output values should not be changed, i.e. the return value (r3) should
contain the original syscall argument on exit.

With this flag set, the syscall is not executed fundamentally, because
do_syscall_trace_enter() is returning -1 which is bigger than NR_syscall,
thus, skipping the syscall execution and exiting userspace.

In PPC_PTRACE_GETHWDBGINFO and PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG we do an
access_ok() check and then __copy_{from,to}_user().

Instead we should just use copy_{from,to}_user() which does all that
for us and is less error prone.
