powerpc: fix KUAP warning in VMX usercopy path

2026-03-12T05:33:47+00:00

On powerpc with PREEMPT_FULL or PREEMPT_LAZY and function tracing enabled, KUAP warnings can be triggered from the VMX usercopy path under memory stress workloads. KUAP requires that no subfunctions are called once userspace access has been enabled. The existing VMX copy implementation violates this requirement by invoking enter_vmx_usercopy() from the assembly path after userspace access has already been enabled. If preemption occurs in this window, the AMR state may not be preserved correctly, leading to unexpected userspace access state and resulting in KUAP warnings. Fix this by restructuring the VMX usercopy flow so that VMX selection and VMX state management are centralized in raw_copy_tofrom_user(), which is invoked by the raw_copy_{to,from,in}_user() wrappers. The new flow is: - raw_copy_{to,from,in}_user() calls raw_copy_tofrom_user() - raw_copy_tofrom_user() decides whether to use the VMX path based on size and CPU capability - Call enter_vmx_usercopy() before enabling userspace access - Enable userspace access as per the copy direction and perform the VMX copy - Disable userspace access as per the copy direction - Call exit_vmx_usercopy() - Fall back to the base copy routine if the VMX copy faults With this change, the VMX assembly routines no longer perform VMX state management or call helper functions; they only implement the copy operations. The previous feature-section based VMX selection inside __copy_tofrom_user_power7() is removed, and a dedicated __copy_tofrom_user_power7_vmx() entry point is introduced. This ensures correct KUAP ordering, avoids subfunction calls while KUAP is unlocked, and eliminates the warnings while preserving the VMX fast path.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers: "This is the main crypto library pull request for 6.17. The main focus this cycle is on reorganizing the SHA-1 and SHA-2 code, providing high-quality library APIs for SHA-1 and SHA-2 including HMAC support, and establishing conventions for lib/crypto/ going forward: - Migrate the SHA-1 and SHA-512 code (and also SHA-384 which shares most of the SHA-512 code) into lib/crypto/. This includes both the generic and architecture-optimized code. Greatly simplify how the architecture-optimized code is integrated. Add an easy-to-use library API for each SHA variant, including HMAC support. Finally, reimplement the crypto_shash support on top of the library API. - Apply the same reorganization to the SHA-256 code (and also SHA-224 which shares most of the SHA-256 code). This is a somewhat smaller change, due to my earlier work on SHA-256. But this brings in all the same additional improvements that I made for SHA-1 and SHA-512. There are also some smaller changes: - Move the architecture-optimized ChaCha, Poly1305, and BLAKE2s code from arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/crypto/ to lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/. For these algorithms it's just a move, not a full reorganization yet. - Fix the MIPS chacha-core.S to build with the clang assembler. - Fix the Poly1305 functions to work in all contexts. - Fix a performance regression in the x86_64 Poly1305 code. - Clean up the x86_64 SHA-NI optimized SHA-1 assembly code. Note that since the new organization of the SHA code is much simpler, the diffstat of this pull request is negative, despite the addition of new fully-documented library APIs for multiple SHA and HMAC-SHA variants. These APIs will allow further simplifications across the kernel as users start using them instead of the old-school crypto API. (I've already written a lot of such conversion patches, removing over 1000 more lines of code. But most of those will target 6.18 or later)" * tag 'libcrypto-updates-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux: (67 commits) lib/crypto: arm64/sha512-ce: Drop compatibility macros for older binutils lib/crypto: x86/sha1-ni: Convert to use rounds macros lib/crypto: x86/sha1-ni: Minor optimizations and cleanup crypto: sha1 - Remove sha1_base.h lib/crypto: x86/sha1: Migrate optimized code into library lib/crypto: sparc/sha1: Migrate optimized code into library lib/crypto: s390/sha1: Migrate optimized code into library lib/crypto: powerpc/sha1: Migrate optimized code into library lib/crypto: mips/sha1: Migrate optimized code into library lib/crypto: arm64/sha1: Migrate optimized code into library lib/crypto: arm/sha1: Migrate optimized code into library crypto: sha1 - Use same state format as legacy drivers crypto: sha1 - Wrap library and add HMAC support lib/crypto: sha1: Add HMAC support lib/crypto: sha1: Add SHA-1 library functions lib/crypto: sha1: Rename sha1_init() to sha1_init_raw() crypto: x86/sha1 - Rename conflicting symbol lib/crypto: sha2: Add hmac_sha*_init_usingrawkey() lib/crypto: arm/poly1305: Remove unneeded empty weak function lib/crypto: x86/poly1305: Fix performance regression on short messages ...

lib/crc: powerpc: Migrate optimized CRC code into lib/crc/

Move the powerpc-optimized CRC code from arch/powerpc/lib/crc* into its new location in lib/crc/powerpc/, and wire it up in the new way. This new way of organizing the CRC code eliminates the need to artificially split the code for each CRC variant into separate arch and generic modules, enabling better inlining and dead code elimination.

lib/crypto: powerpc: Move arch/powerpc/lib/crypto/ into lib/crypto/

2025-06-30T16:26:20+00:00

Move the contents of arch/powerpc/lib/crypto/ into lib/crypto/powerpc/. The new code organization makes a lot more sense for how this code actually works and is developed. In particular, it makes it possible to build each algorithm as a single module, with better inlining and dead code elimination. For a more detailed explanation, see the patchset which did this for the CRC library code: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250607200454.73587-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/. Also see the patchset which did this for SHA-512: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20250616014019.415791-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/ This is just a preparatory commit, which does the move to get the files into their new location but keeps them building the same way as before. Later commits will make the actual improvements to the way the arch-optimized code is integrated for each algorithm. Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel Reviewed-by: Martin K.
