<id>urn:sha1:6557adc69262f90b3f1ddf3d4f874e203894a246</id>
<content type='text'>
commit b3681dd548d06deb2e1573890829dff4b15abf46 upstream.

error_entry and error_exit communicate the user vs. kernel status of
the frame using %ebx.  This is unnecessary -- the information is in
regs-&gt;cs.  Just use regs-&gt;cs.

This makes error_entry simpler and makes error_exit more robust.

It also fixes a nasty bug.  Before all the Spectre nonsense, the
xen_failsafe_callback entry point returned like this:

        ALLOC_PT_GPREGS_ON_STACK
        SAVE_C_REGS
        SAVE_EXTRA_REGS
        ENCODE_FRAME_POINTER
        jmp     error_exit

And it did not go through error_entry.  This was bogus: RBX
contained garbage, and error_exit expected a flag in RBX.

Fortunately, it generally contained *nonzero* garbage, so the
correct code path was used.  As part of the Spectre fixes, code was
added to clear RBX to mitigate certain speculation attacks.  Now,
depending on kernel configuration, RBX got zeroed and, when running
some Wine workloads, the kernel crashes.  This was introduced by:

    commit 3ac6d8c787b8 ("x86/entry/64: Clear registers for exceptions/interrupts, to reduce speculation attack surface")

With this patch applied, RBX is no longer needed as a flag, and the
problem goes away.

I suspect that malicious userspace could use this bug to crash the
kernel even without the offending patch applied, though.

[ Historical note: I wrote this patch as a cleanup before I was aware
  of the bug it fixed. ]

[ Note to stable maintainers: this should probably get applied to all
  kernels.  If you're nervous about that, a more conservative fix to
  add xorl %ebx,%ebx; incl %ebx before the jump to error_exit should
  also fix the problem. ]

commit 22cd978e598618e82c3c3348d2069184f6884182 upstream.

Commit:

  8bb2610bc496 ("x86/entry/64/compat: Preserve r8-r11 in int $0x80")

was busted: my original patch had a minor conflict with
some of the nospec changes, but "git apply" is very clever
and silently accepted the patch by making the same changes
to a different function in the same file.  There was obviously
a huge offset, but "git apply" for some reason doesn't feel
any need to say so.

Move the changes to the correct function.  Now the
test_syscall_vdso_32 selftests passes.

If anyone cares to observe the original problem, try applying the
patch at:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d4c4d9985fbe64f8c9e19291886453914b48caee.1523975710.git.luto@kernel.org/raw

to the kernel at 316d097c4cd4e7f2ef50c40cff2db266593c4ec4:

 - "git am" and "git apply" accept the patch without any complaints at all
 - "patch -p1" at least prints out a message about the huge offset.

<id>urn:sha1:8bb2610bc4967f19672444a7b0407367f1540028</id>
<content type='text'>
32-bit user code that uses int $80 doesn't care about r8-r11.  There is,
however, some 64-bit user code that intentionally uses int $0x80 to invoke
32-bit system calls.  From what I've seen, basically all such code assumes
that r8-r15 are all preserved, but the kernel clobbers r8-r11.  Since I
doubt that there's any code that depends on int $0x80 zeroing r8-r11,
change the kernel to preserve them.

I suspect that very little user code is broken by the old clobber, since
r8-r11 are only rarely allocated by gcc, and they're clobbered by function
calls, so they only way we'd see a problem is if the same function that
invokes int $0x80 also spills something important to one of these
registers.

The current behavior seems to date back to the historical commit
"[PATCH] x86-64 merge for 2.6.4".  Before that, all regs were
preserved.  I can't find any explanation of why this change was made.

Update the test_syscall_vdso_32 testcase as well to verify the new
behavior, and it strengthens the test to make sure that the kernel doesn't
accidentally permute r8..r15.

   - Address a swiotlb regression which was caused by the recent DMA

     false

   - Fix a signedness bug in the APIC ID validation which caused invalid
     APIC IDs to be detected as valid thereby bloating the CPU possible
     space.

   - Fix inconsisten config dependcy/select magic for the MFD_CS5535
     driver.

   - Fix a corruption of the physical address space bits when encryption
     has reduced the address space and late cpuinfo updates overwrite
     the reduced bit information with the original value.

   - Dominiks syscall rework which consolidates the architecture
     specific syscall functions so all syscalls can be wrapped with the
     same macros. This allows to switch x86/64 to struct pt_regs based
     syscalls. Extend the clearing of user space controlled registers in

For non-paranoid entries, idtentry knows how to switch from the
kernel stack to the user stack, as does error_entry.  This results
in pointless duplication and code bloat.  Make idtentry stop
thinking about stacks for non-paranoid entries.

This reduces text size by 5377 bytes.

This goes back to the following commit:

  7f2590a110b8 ("x86/entry/64: Use a per-CPU trampoline stack for IDT entries")

 810f2490 T  __x32_compat_sys_waitid	# x32 64-bit-ptregs -&gt; compat C stub

    [*] This stub is unused, as the syscall table links
	__ia32_compat_sys_waitid instead of __ia32_sys_waitid as we need
	a compat variant here.
