[ Upstream commit 2cf3a3c4b84def5406b830452b1cb8bbfffe0ebe ]

When signals are hard-blocked in order to do time-travel
socket processing, we set signals_blocked and then handle
SIGIO signals by setting the SIGIO bit in signals_pending.
When unblocking, we first set signals_blocked to 0, and
then handle all pending signals. We have to set it first,
so that we can again properly block/unblock inside the
unblock, if the time-travel handlers need to be processed.

Unfortunately, this is racy. We can get into this situation:

// signals_pending = SIGIO_MASK

unblock_signals_hard()
   signals_blocked = 0;
   if (signals_pending &amp;&amp; signals_enabled) {
     block_signals();
     unblock_signals()
       ...
       sig_handler_common(SIGIO, NULL, NULL);
         sigio_handler()
           ...
           sigio_reg_handler()
             irq_do_timetravel_handler()
               reg-&gt;timetravel_handler() ==
               vu_req_interrupt_comm_handler()
                 vu_req_read_message()
                   vhost_user_recv_req()
                     vhost_user_recv()
                       vhost_user_recv_header()
                         // reads 12 bytes header of
                         // 20 bytes message
&lt;-- receive SIGIO here &lt;--
sig_handler()
   int enabled = signals_enabled; // 1
   if ((signals_blocked || !enabled) &amp;&amp; (sig == SIGIO)) {
     if (!signals_blocked &amp;&amp; time_travel_mode == TT_MODE_EXTERNAL)
       sigio_run_timetravel_handlers()
         _sigio_handler()
           sigio_reg_handler()
             ... as above ...
               vhost_user_recv_header()
                 // reads 8 bytes that were message payload
                 // as if it were header - but aborts since
                 // it then gets -EAGAIN
...
--&gt; end signal handler --&gt;
                       // continue in vhost_user_recv()
                       // full_read() for 8 bytes payload busy loops
                       // entire process hangs here

Conceptually, to fix this, we need to ensure that the
signal handler cannot run while we hard-unblock signals.
The thing that makes this more complex is that we can be
doing hard-block/unblock while unblocking. Introduce a
new signals_blocked_pending variable that we can keep at
non-zero as long as pending signals are being processed,
then we only need to ensure it's decremented safely and
the signal handler will only increment it if it's already
non-zero (or signals_blocked is set, of course.)

Note also that only the outermost call to hard-unblock is
allowed to decrement signals_blocked_pending, since it
could otherwise reach zero in an inner call, and leave
the same race happening if the timetravel_handler loops,
but that's basically required of it.

[ Upstream commit 236f9fe39b02c15fa5530b53e9cca48354394389 ]

The threads allocated inside the kernel have only a single page of
stack. Unfortunately, the vfprintf function in standard glibc may use
too much stack-space, overflowing it.

To make os_info safe to be used by helper threads, use the kernel
vscnprintf function into a smallish buffer and write out the information
to stderr.

[ Upstream commit dda520d07b95072a0b63f6c52a8eb566d08ea897 ]

QEMU has a -no-reboot option, which halts instead of reboots when the
guest asks to reboot. This is invaluable when used with
CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT=-1 (and panic_on_warn), because it allows panics
and warnings to be caught immediately in CI. Implement this in UML too,
by way of a basic setup param.

<content type='text'>
commit 0b9ba6135d7f18b82f3d8bebb55ded725ba88e0e upstream.

UML generally does not provide access to special CPU instructions like
RDRAND, and execution tends to be rather deterministic, with no real
hardware interrupts, making good randomness really very hard, if not
all together impossible. Not only is this a security eyebrow raiser, but
it's also quite annoying when trying to do various pieces of UML-based
automation that takes a long time to boot, if ever.

Fix this by trivially calling getrandom() in the host and using that
seed as "bootloader randomness", which initializes the rng immediately
at UML boot.

The old behavior can be restored the same way as on any other arch, by
way of CONFIG_TRUST_BOOTLOADER_RANDOMNESS=n or
random.trust_bootloader=0. So seen from that perspective, this just
makes UML act like other archs, which is positive in its own right.

Additionally, wire up arch_get_random_{int,long}() in the same way, so
that reseeds can also make use of the host RNG, controllable by
CONFIG_TRUST_CPU_RANDOMNESS and random.trust_cpu, per usual.

The function names init_registers() and restore_registers() are used
in several net/ethernet/ and gpu/drm/ drivers for other purposes (not
calls to UML functions), so rename them.

This fixes multiple build errors.

Rename set_signals() as there's at least one driver that
uses the same name and can now be built on UM due to PCI
support, and thus we can get symbol conflicts.

Also rename set_signals_trace() to be consistent.

<title>um: Fix stack pointer alignment</title>

<id>urn:sha1:558f9b2f94dbd2d5c5c8292aa13e081cc11ea7d9</id>
<content type='text'>
GCC assumes that stack is aligned to 16-byte on call sites [1].
Since GCC 8, GCC began using 16-byte aligned SSE instructions to
implement assignments to structs on stack. When
CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE is enabled, this affects
os-Linux/sigio.c, write_sigio_thread:

  struct pollfds *fds, tmp;
  tmp = current_poll;

Note that struct pollfds is exactly 16 bytes in size.
GCC 8+ generates assembly similar to:

  movdqa (%rdi),%xmm0
  movaps %xmm0,-0x50(%rbp)

This is an issue, because movaps will #GP if -0x50(%rbp) is not
aligned to 16 bytes [2], and how rbp gets assigned to is via glibc
clone thread_start, then function prologue, going though execution
trace similar to (showing only relevant instructions):

  sub    $0x10,%rsi
  mov    %rcx,0x8(%rsi)
  mov    %rdi,(%rsi)
  syscall
  pop    %rax
  pop    %rdi
  callq  *%rax
  push   %rbp
  mov    %rsp,%rbp

The stack pointer always points to the topmost element on stack,
rather then the space right above the topmost. On push, the
pointer decrements first before writing to the memory pointed to
by it. Therefore, there is no need to have the stack pointer
pointer always point to valid memory unless the stack is poped;
so the `- sizeof(void *)` in the code is unnecessary.

On the other hand, glibc reserves the 16 bytes it needs on stack
and pops itself, so by the call instruction the stack pointer
is exactly the caller-supplied sp. It then push the 16 bytes of
the return address and the saved stack pointer, so the base
pointer will be 16-byte aligned if and only if the caller
supplied sp is 16-byte aligned. Therefore, the caller must supply
a 16-byte aligned pointer, which `stack + UM_KERN_PAGE_SIZE`
already satisfies.

On a side note, musl is unaffected by this issue because it forces
16 byte alignment via `and $-16,%rsi` in its clone wrapper.
Similarly, glibc i386 is also unaffected because it has
`andl $0xfffffff0, %ecx`.

To reproduce this bug, enable CONFIG_UML_RTC and
CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE. uml_rtc will call
add_sigio_fd which will then cause write_sigio_thread to either go
into segfault loop or panic with "Segfault with no mm".

Similarly, signal stacks will be aligned by the host kernel upon
signal delivery. `- sizeof(void *)` to sigaltstack is
unconventional and extraneous.

On a related note, initialization of longjmp buffers do require
`- sizeof(void *)`. This is to account for the return address
that would have been pushed to the stack at the call site.

The reason for uml to respect 16-byte alignment, rather than
telling GCC to assume 8-byte alignment like the host kernel since
commit d9b0cde91c60 ("x86-64, gcc: Use
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 if supported"), is because uml links
against libc. There is no reason to assume libc is also compiled
with that flag and assumes 8-byte alignment rather than 16-byte.

1. Reflect host cpu flags into the UML instance so they can
be used to select the correct implementations for xor, crypto, etc.

2. Reflect host cache alignment into UML instance. This is
important when running 32 bit on a 64 bit host as 32 bit by
default aligns to 32 while the actual alignment should be 64.
Ditto for some Xeons which align at 128.
