A PTE is constructed from a physical address and a pgprotval_t.
__PAGE_KERNEL, for instance, is a pgprot_t and must be converted
into a pgprotval_t before it can be used to create a PTE.  This is
done implicitly within functions like pfn_pte() by massage_pgprot().

However, this makes it very challenging to set bits (and keep them
set) if your bit is being filtered out by massage_pgprot().

This moves the bit filtering out of pfn_pte() and friends.  For
users of PAGE_KERNEL*, filtering will be done automatically inside
those macros but for users of __PAGE_KERNEL*, they need to do their
own filtering now.

Note that we also just move pfn_pte/pmd/pud() over to check_pgprot()
instead of massage_pgprot().  This way, we still *look* for
unsupported bits and properly warn about them if we find them.  This
might happen if an unfiltered __PAGE_KERNEL* value was passed in,
for instance.

Andy prefers to be paranoid about the pagetable free in the error path of
write_ldt(). Make it conditional and warn whenever the installment of a
secondary LDT fails.

<id>urn:sha1:a62d69857aab4caa43049e72fe0ed5c4a60518dd</id>
<content type='text'>
The error path in write_ldt() tries to free 'old_ldt' instead of the newly
allocated 'new_ldt', resulting in a memory leak. It also misses to clean up a
half populated LDT pagetable, which is not a leak as it gets cleaned up
when the process exits.

Free both the potentially half populated LDT pagetable and the newly
allocated LDT struct. This can be done unconditionally because once an LDT
is mapped subsequent maps will succeed, because the PTE page is already
populated and the two LDTs fit into that single page.

<title>x86/ldt: Make the LDT mapping RO</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9f5cb6b32d9e0a3a7453222baaf15664d92adbf2</id>
<content type='text'>
Now that the LDT mapping is in a known area when PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION is
enabled its a primary target for attacks, if a user space interface fails
to validate a write address correctly. That can never happen, right?

The SDM states:

    If the segment descriptors in the GDT or an LDT are placed in ROM, the
    processor can enter an indefinite loop if software or the processor
    attempts to update (write to) the ROM-based segment descriptors. To
    prevent this problem, set the accessed bits for all segment descriptors
    placed in a ROM. Also, remove operating-system or executive code that
    attempts to modify segment descriptors located in ROM.

So its a valid approach to set the ACCESS bit when setting up the LDT entry
and to map the table RO. Fixup the selftest so it can handle that new mode.

Remove the manual ACCESS bit setter in set_tls_desc() as this is now
pointless. Folded the patch from Peter Ziljstra.

<content type='text'>
With PTI enabled, the LDT must be mapped in the usermode tables somewhere.
The LDT is per process, i.e. per mm.

An earlier approach mapped the LDT on context switch into a fixmap area,
but that's a big overhead and exhausted the fixmap space when NR_CPUS got
big.

Take advantage of the fact that there is an address space hole which
provides a completely unused pgd. Use this pgd to manage per-mm LDT
mappings.

This has a down side: the LDT isn't (currently) randomized, and an attack
that can write the LDT is instant root due to call gates (thanks, AMD, for
leaving call gates in AMD64 but designing them wrong so they're only useful
for exploits).  This can be mitigated by making the LDT read-only or
randomizing the mapping, either of which is strightforward on top of this
patch.

This will significantly slow down LDT users, but that shouldn't matter for
important workloads -- the LDT is only used by DOSEMU(2), Wine, and very
old libc implementations.

<title>x86/ldt: Prevent LDT inheritance on exec</title>

<content type='text'>
The LDT is inherited across fork() or exec(), but that makes no sense
at all because exec() is supposed to start the process clean.

The reason why this happens is that init_new_context_ldt() is called from
init_new_context() which obviously needs to be called for both fork() and
exec().

It would be surprising if anything relies on that behaviour, so it seems to
be safe to remove that misfeature.

Split the context initialization into two parts. Clear the LDT pointer and
initialize the mutex from the general context init and move the LDT
duplication to arch_dup_mmap() which is only called on fork().

<title>x86/ldt: Rework locking</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c2b3496bb30bd159e9de42e5c952e1f1f33c9a77</id>
<content type='text'>
The LDT is duplicated on fork() and on exec(), which is wrong as exec()
should start from a clean state, i.e. without LDT. To fix this the LDT
duplication code will be moved into arch_dup_mmap() which is only called
for fork().

This introduces a locking problem. arch_dup_mmap() holds mmap_sem of the
parent process, but the LDT duplication code needs to acquire
mm-&gt;context.lock to access the LDT data safely, which is the reverse lock
order of write_ldt() where mmap_sem nests into context.lock.

Solve this by introducing a new rw semaphore which serializes the
read/write_ldt() syscall operations and use context.lock to protect the
actual installment of the LDT descriptor.

So context.lock stabilizes mm-&gt;context.ldt and can nest inside of the new
semaphore or mmap_sem.

[ Note, this is a Git cherry-pick of the following commit:

    506458efaf15 ("locking/barriers: Convert users of lockless_dereference() to READ_ONCE()")

  ... for easier x86 PTI code testing and back-porting. ]

READ_ONCE() now has an implicit smp_read_barrier_depends() call, so it
can be used instead of lockless_dereference() without any change in
semantics.
