[ Upstream commit d4bb00704a66024502261fa7a523c07420249fea ]

The _PAGE_UNUSED softbit should not really be lying around. Its sole
purpose is to signal to try_to_unmap_one() and try_to_migrate_one()
that the page can be discarded instead of being moved / swapped.

KVM has no way to know why a page is being unmapped, so it sets the bit
on userspace ptes corresponding to unused guest pages every time they
get unmapped. KVM has no reasonable way to clear the bit once the page
is in use again.

While set_ptes() checks and clears the bit, other paths that set new
ptes did not. This led to used pages being thrown out as if they were
unused, causing guest corruption.

Fix the issue by clearing the _PAGE_UNUSED bit for present ptes in
set_pte(), i.e. whenever a present pte is getting set. The check in
set_ptes() is then redundant and can be removed.

Also fix gmap_helper_try_set_pte_unused() to only set the bit if the
pte is present; the _PAGE_UNUSED bit is only defined for present ptes
and thus should not be set for non-present ptes.

[ Upstream commit c02be2ad2b88c67c5d7c06b6aa7083b5b40e1077 ]

The kernel allows arches to select between inline and outline
implementations of the copy_{from,to}_user() by defining individual
INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER and INLINE_COPY_TO_USER, correspondingly.  However,
all arches enable or disable them always together.

Without the real use-case for one helper being inlined while the other
outlined, having independent controls is excessive and error prone.

Switch the codebase to the single unified INLINE_COPY_USER control.

commit 37540b8c287fc817bdbd0c62bb75ad6eab0e5d03 upstream.

load_unaligned_zeropad() reads eight bytes from unaligned addresses and may
cross page boundaries. It handles exceptions which may happen if reading
from the second page results in an exception.

For pages which are donated to the Ultravisor for secure execution purposes
the do_secure_storage_access() exception handler however does not handle
such exceptions correctly. Such an exception may result in an endless
exception loop which will never be resolved.

An attempt to fix this [1] turned out to be not sufficient. For now revert
load_unaligned_zeropad() until this problem has been resolved in a proper
way.

Note that the implementation of load_unaligned_zeropad() itself is
correct. The revert is just a temporary workaround until there is complete
fix for secure storage access exceptions.

Factor out try_get_locked_pte(), which behaves similarly to
get_locked_pte(), but does not attempt to allocate missing tables and
performs a spin_trylock() instead of blocking.

The new function is also exported, since it will be used in other
patches.

If intermediate entries are missing, there can be no pte swap entry to
free, so it's safe to ignore them.

This avoids potentially sleeping while atomic.

<id>urn:sha1:7c6535c37dbc03c1c35926b7420d66fb122b513a</id>
<content type='text'>
Both GCC [1] and Clang [2] consider the generic version of _THIS_IP_ to
be broken:

        #define _THIS_IP_  ({ __label__ __here; __here: (unsigned long)&amp;&amp;__here; })

In particular, the address of a label is only expected to be used with a
computed goto.

While the generic version more or less works today, it is known to be
brittle and may break with current and future optimizations. For
example, Clang -O2 always returns 1 when this function is inlined:

        static inline unsigned long get_ip(void)
        { return ({ __label__ __here; __here: (unsigned long)&amp;&amp;__here; }); }

Fix it by overriding _THIS_IP_ in &lt;asm/linkage.h&gt; (which is included by
&lt;linux/instruction_pointer.h&gt;) using an architecture-specific inline asm
version. Additionally, avoiding taking the address of a label prevents
compilers from emitting spurious indirect branch targets (e.g. ENDBR or
BTI) under control-flow integrity schemes.

<id>urn:sha1:3daad7f60aa92d0307fa2b2edd38c886a09902f2</id>
<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE is disabled, the s390 __BUG_ENTRY() macro
omits the format string pointer, so the generated __bug_table entry no
longer matches struct bug_entry.

With HAVE_ARCH_BUG_FORMAT enabled, the generic BUG infrastructure reads
bug_entry::format via bug_get_format(). If the format word is missing,
subsequent fields are read from the wrong offset, which may:
- Misinterpret flags (BUG vs WARN classification errors)
- Fault when dereferencing a misread format pointer

The root cause is that __BUG_ENTRY() delegates format word emission to
__BUG_ENTRY_VERBOSE(), which is conditional on CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE.

Fix this by moving the format field emission directly into __BUG_ENTRY()
so it is always emitted unconditionally. Remove the format parameter from
__BUG_ENTRY_VERBOSE() and keep only file/line emission conditional on
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE.

On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache
to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a
coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer
and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the
counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the
persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded.

To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and
flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:

 - Add support for CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK and enable it in
   debug_defconfig. s390 can only tell user from kernel PTEs via the mm,
   so mm_struct is now passed into pxx_user_accessible_page() callbacks

 - Expose the PCI function UID as an arch-specific slot attribute in
   sysfs so a function can be identified by its user-defined id while
   still in standby. Introduces a generic ARCH_PCI_SLOT_GROUPS hook in
   drivers/pci/slot.c

 - Refresh s390 PCI documentation to reflect current behavior and cover
   previously undocumented sysfs attributes

 - zcrypt device driver cleanup series: consistent field types, clearer
   variable naming, a kernel-doc warning fix, and a comment explaining
   the intentional synchronize_rcu() in pkey_handler_register()

 - Provide an s390 arch_raw_cpu_ptr() that avoids the detour via
   get_lowcore() using alternatives, shrinking defconfig by ~27 kB

 - Guard identity-base randomization with kaslr_enabled() so nokaslr
   keeps the identity mapping at 0 even with RANDOMIZE_IDENTITY_BASE=y

 - Build S390_MODULES_SANITY_TEST as a module only by requiring KUNIT &amp;&amp;
   m, since built-in would not exercise module loading

 - Remove the permanently commented-out HMCDRV_DEV_CLASS create_class()
   code in the hmcdrv driver

 - Drop stale ident_map_size extern conflicting with asm/page.h
