2015-09-18crypto: s390/ghash - Fix incorrect ghash icv buffer handling.Harald Freudenberger1-13/+13
commit a1cae34e23b1293eccbcc8ee9b39298039c3952a upstream. Multitheaded tests showed that the icv buffer in the current ghash implementation is not handled correctly. A move of this working ghash buffer value to the descriptor context fixed this. Code is tested and verified with an multithreaded application via af_alg interface.

2015-09-18s390/hibernate: fix save and restore of kernel text sectionHeiko Carstens1-0/+6
commit d74419495633493c9cd3f2bbeb7f3529d0edded6 upstream. Sebastian reported a crash caused by a jump label mismatch after resume. This happens because we do not save the kernel text section during suspend and therefore also do not restore it during resume, but use the kernel image that restores the old system. This means that after a suspend/resume cycle we lost all modifications done to the kernel text section. The reason for this is the pfn_is_nosave() function, which incorrectly returns that read-only pages don't need to be saved. This is incorrect since we mark the kernel text section read-only. We still need to make sure to not save and restore pages contained within NSS and DCSS segment. To fix this add an extra case for the kernel text section and only save those pages if they are not contained within an NSS segment. Fixes the following crash (and the above bugs as well): Jump label code mismatch at netif_receive_skb_internal+0x28/0xd0 Found: c0 04 00 00 00 00 Expected: c0 f4 00 00 00 11 New: c0 04 00 00 00 00 Kernel panic - not syncing: Corrupted kernel text CPU: 0 PID: 9 Comm: migration/0 Not tainted 3.19.0-01975-gb1b096e70f23 #4 Call Trace: [<0000000000113972>] show_stack+0x72/0xf0 [<000000000081f15e>] dump_stack+0x6e/0x90 [<000000000081c4e8>] panic+0x108/0x2b0 [<000000000081be64>] jump_label_bug.isra.2+0x104/0x108 [<0000000000112176>] __jump_label_transform+0x9e/0xd0 [<00000000001121e6>] __sm_arch_jump_label_transform+0x3e/0x50 [<00000000001d1136>] multi_cpu_stop+0x12e/0x170 [<00000000001d1472>] cpu_stopper_thread+0xb2/0x168 [<000000000015d2ac>] smpboot_thread_fn+0x134/0x1b0 [<0000000000158baa>] kthread+0x10a/0x110 [<0000000000824a86>] kernel_thread_starter+0x6/0xc Reported-and-tested-by: Sebastian Ott <sebott@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> [lizf: Backported to 3.4: add necessary includes] Signed-off-by: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com>

2015-04-14vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling supportLinus Torvalds1-0/+6
commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream. The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a "you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler. That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV. In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by that duplicated architecture fault handler. However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS. To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying. This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that cleanup. Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other "newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about them too.

2014-07-01s390/lowcore: reserve 96 bytes for IRB in lowcoreChristian Borntraeger1-5/+6
commit 993072ee67aa179c48c85eb19869804e68887d86 upstream. The IRB might be 96 bytes if the extended-I/O-measurement facility is used. This feature is currently not used by Linux, but struct irb already has the emw defined. So let's make the irb in lowcore match the size of the internal data structure to be future proof. We also have to add a pad, to correctly align the paste. The bigger irb field also circumvents a bug in some QEMU versions that always write the emw field on test subchannel and therefore destroy the paste definitions of this CPU. Running under these QEMU version broke some timing functions in the VDSO and all users of these functions, e.g. some JREs.

commit d7736ff5be31edaa4fe5ab62810c64529a24b149 upstream. Dumps created by kdump or zfcpdump can contain invalid memory holes when dumping z/VM systems that have memory pressure. For example: # zgetdump -i /proc/vmcore. Memory map: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000bfffff (12 MB) 0000000000e00000 - 00000000014fffff (7 MB) 000000000bd00000 - 00000000f3bfffff (3711 MB) The memory detection function find_memory_chunks() issues tprot to find valid memory chunks. In case of CMM it can happen that pages are marked as unstable via set_page_unstable() in arch_free_page(). If z/VM has released that pages, tprot returns -EFAULT and indicates a memory hole. So fix this and switch off CMM in case of kdump or zfcpdump.

commit f6a70a07079518280022286a1dceb797d12e1edf upstream. Our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation calls __tlb_flush_mm() with &init_mm as argument. __tlb_flush_mm() however will only flush tlbs for the passed in mm if its mm_cpumask is not empty. For the init_mm however its mm_cpumask has never any bits set. Which in turn means that our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation doesn't work at all. This can be easily verified with a vmalloc/vfree loop which allocates a page, writes to it and then frees the page again. A crash will follow almost instantly. To fix this remove the cpumask_empty() check in __tlb_flush_mm() since there shouldn't be too many mms with a zero mm_cpumask, besides the init_mm of course.

2013-03-21s390: critical section cleanup vs. machine checksMartin Schwidefsky2-3/+5
commit 6551fbdfd8b85d1ab5822ac98abb4fb449bcfae0 upstream. The current machine check code uses the registers stored by the machine in the lowcore at __LC_GPREGS_SAVE_AREA as the registers of the interrupted context. The registers 0-7 of a user process can get clobbered if a machine checks interrupts the execution of a critical section in entry[64].S. The reason is that the critical section cleanup code may need to modify the PSW and the registers for the previous context to get to the end of a critical section. If registers 0-7 have to be replaced the relevant copy will be in the registers, which invalidates the copy in the lowcore. The machine check handler needs to explicitly store registers 0-7 to the stack.

commit 15bc8d8457875f495c59d933b05770ba88d1eacb upstream. On store status we need to copy the current state of registers into a save area. Currently we might save stale versions: The sie state descriptor doesnt have fields for guest ACRS,FPRS, those registers are simply stored in the host registers. The host program must copy these away if needed. We do that in vcpu_put/load. If we now do a store status in KVM code between vcpu_put/load, the saved values are not up-to-date. Lets collect the ACRS/FPRS before saving them. This also fixes some strange problems with hotplug and virtio-ccw, since the low level machine check handler (on hotplug a machine check will happen) will revalidate all registers with the content of the save area.

2013-02-17s390/timer: avoid overflow when programming clock comparatorHeiko Carstens1-0/+3
commit d911e03d097bdc01363df5d81c43f69432eb785c upstream. Since ed4f209 "s390/time: fix sched_clock() overflow" a new helper function is used to avoid overflows when converting TOD format values to nanosecond values. The kvm interrupt code formerly however only worked by accident because of an overflow. It tried to program a timer that would expire in more than ~29 years. Because of the old TOD-to-nanoseconds overflow bug the real expiry value however was much smaller, but now it isn't anymore. This however triggers yet another bug in the function that programs the clock comparator s390_next_ktime(): if the absolute "expires" value is after 2042 this will result in an overflow and the programmed value is lower than the current TOD value which immediatly triggers a clock comparator (= timer) interrupt. Since the timer isn't expired it will be programmed immediately again and so on... the result is a dead system. To fix this simply program the maximum possible value if an overflow is detected.

2013-01-21s390/time: fix sched_clock() overflowHeiko Carstens3-2/+30
commit ed4f20943cd4c7b55105c04daedf8d63ab6d499c upstream. Converting a 64 Bit TOD format value to nanoseconds means that the value must be divided by 4.096. In order to achieve that we multiply with 125 and divide by 512. When used within sched_clock() this triggers an overflow after appr. 417 days. Resulting in a sched_clock() return value that is much smaller than previously and therefore may cause all sort of weird things in subsystems that rely on a monotonic sched_clock() behaviour. To fix this implement a tod_to_ns() helper function which converts TOD values without overflow and call this function from both places that open coded the conversion: sched_clock() and kvm_s390_handle_wait().

commit fa968ee215c0ca91e4a9c3a69ac2405aae6e5d2f upstream. If user space is running in primary mode it can switch to secondary or access register mode, this is used e.g. in the clock_gettime code of the vdso. If a signal is delivered to the user space process while it has been running in access register mode the signal handler is executed in access register mode as well which will result in a crash most of the time. Set the address space control bits in the PSW to the default for the execution of the signal handler and make sure that the previous address space control is restored on signal return. Take care that user space can not switch to the kernel address space by modifying the registers in the signal frame.

commit e85871218513c54f7dfdb6009043cb638f2fecbe upstream. The native 31 bit and the compat behaviour for the mmap system calls differ: In native 31 bit mode the passed in address for the mmap system call will be unmodified passed to sys_mmap_pgoff(). In compat mode however the passed in address will be modified with compat_ptr() which masks out the most significant bit. The result is that in native 31 bit mode each mmap request (with MAP_FIXED) will fail where the most significat bit is set, while in compat mode it may succeed. This odd behaviour was introduced with d3815898 "[S390] mmap: add missing compat_ptr conversion to both mmap compat syscalls". To restore a consistent behaviour accross native and compat mode this patch functionally reverts the above mentioned commit.

2012-08-09s390/mm: fix fault handling for page table walk caseHeiko Carstens1-6/+7
commit 008c2e8f247f0a8db1e8e26139da12f3a3abcda0 upstream. Make sure the kernel does not incorrectly create a SIGBUS signal during user space accesses: For user space accesses in the switched addressing mode case the kernel may walk page tables and access user address space via the kernel mapping. If a page table entry is invalid the function __handle_fault() gets called in order to emulate a page fault and trigger all the usual actions like paging in a missing page etc. by calling handle_mm_fault(). If handle_mm_fault() returns with an error fixup handling is necessary. For the switched addressing mode case all errors need to be mapped to -EFAULT, so that the calling uaccess function can return -EFAULT to user space. Unfortunately the __handle_fault() incorrectly calls do_sigbus() if VM_FAULT_SIGBUS is set. This however should only happen if a page fault was triggered by a user space instruction. For kernel mode uaccesses the correct action is to only return -EFAULT. So user space may incorrectly see SIGBUS signals because of this bug. For current machines this would only be possible for the switched addressing mode case in conjunction with futex operations.

2012-08-09s390/idle: fix sequence handling vs cpu hotplugHeiko Carstens2-3/+2
commit 0008204ffe85d23382d6fd0f971f3f0fbe70bae2 upstream. The s390 idle accounting code uses a sequence counter which gets used when the per cpu idle statistics get updated and read. One assumption on read access is that only when the sequence counter is even and did not change while reading all values the result is valid. On cpu hotplug however the per cpu data structure gets initialized via a cpu hotplug notifier on CPU_ONLINE. CPU_ONLINE however is too late, since the onlined cpu is already running and might access the per cpu data. Worst case is that the data structure gets initialized while an idle thread is updating its idle statistics. This will result in an uneven sequence counter after an update. As a result user space tools like top, which access /proc/stat in order to get idle stats, will busy loop waiting for the sequence counter to become even again, which will never happen until the queried cpu will update its idle statistics again. And even then the sequence counter will only have an even value for a couple of cpu cycles. Fix this by moving the initialization of the per cpu idle statistics to cpu_init(). I prefer that solution in favor of changing the notifier to CPU_UP_PREPARE, which would be a different solution to the problem.

2012-06-01s390/pfault: fix task state raceHeiko Carstens1-2/+12
commit d5e50a51ccbda36b379aba9d1131a852eb908dda upstream. When setting the current task state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE this can race with a different cpu. The other cpu could set the task state after it inspected it (while it was still TASK_RUNNING) to TASK_RUNNING which would change the state from TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE to TASK_RUNNING again. This race was always present in the pfault interrupt code but didn't cause anything harmful before commit f2db2e6c "[S390] pfault: cpu hotplug vs missing completion interrupts" which relied on the fact that after setting the task state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE the task would really sleep. Since this is not necessarily the case the result may be a list corruption of the pfault_list or, as observed, a use-after-free bug while trying to access the task_struct of a task which terminated itself already. To fix this, we need to get a reference of the affected task when receiving the initial pfault interrupt and add special handling if we receive yet another initial pfault interrupt when the task is already enqueued in the pfault list.

2012-04-11[S390] Fix stfle() lowcore protection problemMichael Holzheu2-3/+2
The stfle() function writes into lowcore memory when stfl_fac_list is initialized with "S390_lowcore.stfl_fac_list = 0". For older compilers this triggers a lowcore exception. With newer compilers and "-OXX" compile option the bug does not show up because the "S390_lowcore.stfl_fac_list" initialization is removed by the compiler. The reason for thatis the incorrect "=m" (S390_lowcore.stfl_fac_list) constraint in the stfl inline assembly. The following shows the disassembly of the stfle() optimized code that is inlined in the lgr_info_get() function: 000000000011325c <lgr_info_get>: 11325c: eb 9f f0 60 00 24 stmg %r9,%r15,96(%r15) 113262: c0 d0 00 29 0e 47 larl %r13,634ef0 <servi..> 113268: a7 f1 3f c0 tml %r15,16320 11326c: b9 04 00 ef lgr %r14,%r15 113270: a7 84 00 01 je 113272 <lgr_info_g..> 113274: a7 fb ff c0 aghi %r15,-64 113278: b9 04 00 c2 lgr %r12,%r2 11327c: a7 29 00 01 lghi %r2,1 113280: e3 e0 f0 98 00 24 stg %r14,152(%r15) 113286: d7 97 c0 00 c0 00 xc 0(152,%r12),0(%r12) 11328c: c0 e5 00 28 db 4c brasl %r14,62e924 <add_e..> 113292: b2 b1 00 00 stfl 0 To fix the problem we now clear the S390_lowcore.stfl_fac_list at startup in "head.S" for all machine types before lowcore protection is enabled.

2012-04-11[S390] fix tlb flushing for page table pagesMartin Schwidefsky4-28/+61
Git commit 36409f6353fc2d7b6516e631415f938eadd92ffa "use generic RCU page-table freeing code" introduced a tlb flushing bug. Partially revert the above git commit and go back to s390 specific page table flush code. For s390 the TLB can contain three types of entries, "normal" TLB page-table entries, TLB combined region-and-segment-table (CRST) entries and real-space entries. Linux does not use real-space entries which leaves normal TLB entries and CRST entries. The CRST entries are intermediate steps in the page-table translation called translation paths. For example a 4K page access in a three-level page table setup will create two CRST TLB entries and one page-table TLB entry. The advantage of that approach is that a page access next to the previous one can reuse the CRST entries and needs just a single read from memory to create the page-table TLB entry. The disadvantage is that the TLB flushing rules are more complicated, before any page-table may be freed the TLB needs to be flushed. In short: the generic RCU page-table freeing code is incorrect for the CRST entries, in particular the check for mm_users < 2 is troublesome. This is applicable to 3.0+ kernels.

I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can and made sure that they don't break. The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

It holds a number of low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg. memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()). These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces: (1) asm/barrier.h Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

2012-03-24coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flagJason Baron1-8/+2
The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types' of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this case). Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need for this flag. The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new 'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags: 'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the region. The qemu code which implements this features is at: http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this patch. I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are dumped. This patch: The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

2012-03-23[S390] register cpu devices for SMP=nMartin Schwidefsky1-0/+1
A kernel compiled with SMP=n will not register any cpu devices. The resulting kernel image will not boot with this error message: kernel BUG at fs/sysfs/group.c:65! Use GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES=y if SMP=n to get the missing cpu device. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
