commit d02f6b7dab8228487268298ea1f21081c0b4b3eb upstream.

get/put_user() can be called with nontrivial arguments. fs/proc/page.c
has a good example:

    if (put_user(stable_page_flags(ppage), out)) {

stable_page_flags() is quite a lot of code, including spin locks in
the page allocator.

Ensure these arguments are evaluated before user access is allowed.

This improves security by reducing code with access to userspace, but
it also fixes a PREEMPT bug with KUAP on powerpc/64s:
stable_page_flags() is currently called with AMR set to allow writes,
it ends up calling spin_unlock(), which can call preempt_schedule. But
the task switch code can not be called with AMR set (it relies on
interrupts saving the register), so this blows up.

It's fine if the code inside allow_user_access() is preemptible,
because a timer or IPI will save the AMR, but it's not okay to
explicitly cause a reschedule.

<title>powerpc: Fix __clear_user() with KUAP enabled</title>

commit 61e3acd8c693a14fc69b824cb5b08d02cb90a6e7 upstream.

The KUAP implementation adds calls in clear_user() to enable and
disable access to userspace memory. However, it doesn't add these to
__clear_user(), which is used in the ptrace regset code.

As there's only one direct user of __clear_user() (the regset code),
and the time taken to set the AMR for KUAP purposes is going to
dominate the cost of a quick access_ok(), there's not much point
having a separate path.

Rename __clear_user() to __arch_clear_user(), and make __clear_user()
just call clear_user().

commit 5cd623333e7cf4e3a334c70529268b65f2a6c2c7 upstream.

Today, when a function like strncpy_from_user() is called,
the userspace access protection is de-activated and re-activated
for every word read.

By implementing user_access_begin and friends, the protection
is de-activated at the beginning of the copy and re-activated at the
end.

Implement user_access_begin(), user_access_end() and
unsafe_get_user(), unsafe_put_user() and unsafe_copy_to_user()

For the time being, we keep user_access_save() and
user_access_restore() as nops.

Backported from commit de78a9c42a79 ("powerpc: Add a framework
for Kernel Userspace Access Protection"). Here we don't try to
add the KUAP framework, we just want the helper functions
because we want to put uaccess flush helpers in them.

In terms of fixes, we don't need commit 1d8f739b07bd ("powerpc/kuap:
Fix set direction in allow/prevent_user_access()") as we don't have
real KUAP. Likewise as all our allows are noops and all our prevents
are just flushes, we don't need commit 9dc086f1e9ef ("powerpc/futex:
Fix incorrect user access blocking") The other 2 fixes we do need.

The original description is:

This patch implements a framework for Kernel Userspace Access
Protection.

Then subarches will have the possibility to provide their own
implementation by providing setup_kuap() and
allow/prevent_user_access().

Some platforms will need to know the area accessed and whether it is
accessed from read, write or both. Therefore source, destination and
size and handed over to the two functions.

mpe: Rename to allow/prevent rather than unlock/lock, and add
read/write wrappers. Drop the 32-bit code for now until we have an
implementation for it. Add kuap to pt_regs for 64-bit as well as
32-bit. Don't split strings, use pr_crit_ratelimited().

commit ddf35cf3764b5a182b178105f57515b42e2634f8 upstream.

Based on the x86 commit doing the same.

See commit 304ec1b05031 ("x86/uaccess: Use __uaccess_begin_nospec()
and uaccess_try_nospec") and b3bbfb3fb5d2 ("x86: Introduce
__uaccess_begin_nospec() and uaccess_try_nospec") for more detail.

In all cases we are ordering the load from the potentially
user-controlled pointer vs a previous branch based on an access_ok()
check or similar.

Base on a patch from Michal Suchanek.

[ Upstream commit 05a4ab823983d9136a460b7b5e0d49ee709a6f86 ]

With the following piece of code, the following compilation warning
is encountered:

	if (_IOC_DIR(ioc) != _IOC_NONE) {
		int verify = _IOC_DIR(ioc) &amp; _IOC_READ ? VERIFY_WRITE : VERIFY_READ;

		if (!access_ok(verify, ioarg, _IOC_SIZE(ioc))) {

drivers/platform/test/dev.c: In function 'my_ioctl':
drivers/platform/test/dev.c:219:7: warning: unused variable 'verify' [-Wunused-variable]
   int verify = _IOC_DIR(ioc) &amp; _IOC_READ ? VERIFY_WRITE : VERIFY_READ;

This patch fixes it by referencing 'type' in the macro allthough
doing nothing with it.

We see a large number of duplicate const errors in the user access
code when building with llvm/clang:

  include/linux/pagemap.h:576:8: warning: duplicate 'const' declaration specifier
      [-Wduplicate-decl-specifier]
        ret = __get_user(c, uaddr);

The problem is we are doing const __typeof__(*(ptr)), which will hit the
warning if ptr is marked const.

Removing const does not seem to have any effect on GCC code generation.

<title>powerpc/uaccess: Allow get_user() with bitwise types</title>

<id>urn:sha1:505e428374bc17a2c0bd388c2e8d892e9cd8eef2</id>
<content type='text'>
At the moment, if p and x are both of the same bitwise type
(eg. __le32), get_user(x, p) produces a sparse warning.

This is because *p is loaded into a long then cast back to typeof(*p).

When typeof(*p) is a bitwise type (which is uncommon), such a cast needs
__force, otherwise sparse produces a warning.

For non-bitwise types __force should have no effect, and should not hide
any legitimate errors.

Note that we are casting to typeof(*p) not typeof(x). Even with the
cast, if x and *p are of different types we should get the warning, so I
think we are not loosing the ability to detect any actual errors.

virtio would like to use bitwise types with get_user() so fix these
spurious warnings by adding __force.

The only reason uaccess routines might sleep
is if they fault. Make this explicit.

Arnd Bergmann suggested that the following code
	if (!is_kernel_addr((unsigned long)__pu_addr))
		might_fault();
can be further simplified by adding a version of might_fault
that includes the kernel addr check.

Will be considered as a further optimization in future.
