commit 2fbd7af5af8665d18bcefae3e9700be07e22b681 upstream.
The upstream version of this, touching C code, was written by Dan Williams,
with the following description:
> The syscall table base is a user controlled function pointer in kernel
> space. Use array_index_nospec() to prevent any out of bounds speculation.
>
> While retpoline prevents speculating into a userspace directed target it
> does not stop the pointer de-reference, the concern is leaking memory
> relative to the syscall table base, by observing instruction cache
> behavior.
The x86_64 assembly version for 4.4 was written by Jiri Slaby, with
the following description:
> In 4.4.118, we have commit c8961332d6da (x86/syscall: Sanitize syscall
> table de-references under speculation), which is a backport of upstream
> commit 2fbd7af5af86. But it fixed only the C part of the upstream patch
> -- the IA32 sysentry. So it ommitted completely the assembly part -- the
> 64bit sysentry.
>
> Fix that in this patch by explicit array_index_mask_nospec written in
> assembly. The same was used in lib/getuser.S.
>
> However, to have "sbb" working properly, we have to switch from "cmp"
> against (NR_syscalls-1) to (NR_syscalls), otherwise the last syscall
> number would be "and"ed by 0. It is because the original "ja" relies on
> "CF" or "ZF", but we rely only on "CF" in "sbb". That means: switch to
> "jae" conditional jump too.
>
> Final note: use rcx for mask as this is exactly what is overwritten by
> the 4th syscall argument (r10) right after.
In 3.2 the x86_32 syscall table lookup is also written in assembly.
So I've taken Jiri's version and added similar masking in entry_32.S,
using edx as the temporary. edx is clobbered by SAVE_REGS and seems
to be free at this point.
The ia32 compat syscall table lookup on x86_64 is also written in
assembly, so I've added the same masking in ia32entry.S, using r8 as
the temporary since it is always clobbered by the following
instructions.
The x86_64 entry code also lacks syscall masking for x32.

commit 2641f08bb7fc63a636a2b18173221d7040a3512e upstream.
Convert indirect jumps in core 32/64bit entry assembler code to use
non-speculative sequences when CONFIG_RETPOLINE is enabled.
Don't use CALL_NOSPEC in entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath because the return
address after the 'call' instruction must be *precisely* at the
.Lentry_SYSCALL_64_after_fastpath label for stub_ptregs_64 to work,
and the use of alternatives will mess that up unless we play horrid
games to prepend with NOPs and make the variants the same length. It's
not worth it; in the case where we ALTERNATIVE out the retpoline, the
first instruction at __x86.indirect_thunk.rax is going to be a bare
jmp *%rax anyway.

Added "nokaiser" boot option: an early param like "noinvpcid".
Most places now check int kaiser_enabled (#defined 0 when not
CONFIG_KAISER) instead of #ifdef CONFIG_KAISER; but entry_64.S
and entry_64_compat.S are using the ALTERNATIVE technique, which
patches in the preferred instructions at runtime. That technique
is tied to x86 cpu features, so X86_FEATURE_KAISER fabricated
("" in its comment so "kaiser" not magicked into /proc/cpuinfo).
Prior to "nokaiser", Kaiser #defined _PAGE_GLOBAL 0: revert that,
but be careful with both _PAGE_GLOBAL and CR4.PGE: setting them when
nokaiser like when !CONFIG_KAISER, but not setting either when kaiser -
neither matters on its own, but it's hard to be sure that _PAGE_GLOBAL
won't get set in some obscure corner, or something add PGE into CR4.
By omitting _PAGE_GLOBAL from __supported_pte_mask when kaiser_enabled,
all page table setup which uses pte_pfn() masks it out of the ptes.
It's slightly shameful that the same declaration versus definition of
kaiser_enabled appears in not one, not two, but in three header files
(asm/kaiser.h, asm/pgtable.h, asm/tlbflush.h). I felt safer that way,
than with #including any of those in any of the others; and did not
feel it worth an asm/kaiser_enabled.h - kernel/cpu/common.c includes
them all, so we shall hear about it if they get out of synch.
Cleanups while in the area: removed the silly #ifdef CONFIG_KAISER
from kaiser.c; removed the unused native_get_normal_pgd(); removed
the spurious reg clutter from SWITCH_*_CR3 macro stubs; corrected some
comments. But more interestingly, set CR4.PSE in secondary_startup_64:
the manual is clear that it does not matter whether it's 0 or 1 when
4-level-pts are enabled, but I was distracted to find cr4 different on
BSP and auxiliaries - BSP alone was adding PSE, in init_memory_mapping().

This patch introduces our implementation of KAISER (Kernel Address
Isolation to have Side-channels Efficiently Removed), a kernel isolation
technique to close hardware side channels on kernel address information.
More information about the original patch can be found at:

That original was then developed further by
Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com>
Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>
then others after this snapshot.
This combined patch for 3.2.96 was derived from hughd's patches below
for 3.18.72, in 2017-12-04's kaiser-3.18.72.tar; except for the last,
which was sent in 2017-12-09's nokaiser-3.18.72.tar. They have been
combined in order to minimize the effort of rebasing: most of the
patches in the 3.18.72 series were small fixes and cleanups and
enhancements to three large patches. About the only new work in this
backport is a simple reimplementation of kaiser_remove_mapping():
since mm/pageattr.c changed a lot between 3.2 and 3.18, and the
mods there for Kaiser never seemed necessary.

commit f7d665627e103e82d34306c7d3f6f46f387c0d8b upstream.
x86_64 needs to use compat_sys_keyctl for 32-bit userspace rather than
calling sys_keyctl(). The latter will work in a lot of cases, thereby
hiding the issue.

commit 40a1ef95da85843696fc3ebe5fce39b0db32669f upstream.
For some reason they didn't get replaced so far by their
paravirt equivalents, resulting in code to be run with
interrupts disabled that doesn't expect so (causing, in the
observed case, a BUG_ON() to trigger) when syscall auditing is
enabled.
David (Cc-ed) came up with an identical fix, so likely this can
be taken to count as an ack from him.

The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing
intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a
double copy of the message via shared memory.
The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination
process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory
directly from the source process into its own address space via a system
call. There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current
process's address space into a destination process's address space.
- Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with
using it:
- Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming
preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or
written to would need to be contiguous.
- Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently
ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read
from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call,
but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping
(reason appears to have been lost)
- Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix
domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view,
especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands
of processes that all need to do this with each other
- Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to
consider adding in the future (see below)
- Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually
involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily)
As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has
problems. Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if
the pipe is not drained then you block. Which requires some wrapping to
do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive. In all to all
communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock. And in the
example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the
copying.
There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface
does not get us the performance gain we could. For example in an
MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to
instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as
this would save us doing a copy. We don't need to keep a copy of the data
from the source. I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface
could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could
specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just
copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source
and destination and store it in the destination.
Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had
some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra
process messaging which is not MPI). This interface is something which
hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement
fast local communication. And so in addition to this being useful for
OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up
when the mm changes.
There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would
go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2
There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here:
http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt
This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should
mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv
and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for
64-bit kernels.
For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly
verify that the syscalls are working correctly here:

32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.
setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.
v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6

This patch adds a multiple message send syscall and is the send

based on the patch by Arnaldo that added recvmmsg.
I wrote a microbenchmark to test the performance gains of using
this new syscall:
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/sendmmsg_test.c
The test was run on a ppc64 box with a 10 Gbit network card. The
benchmark can send both UDP and RAW ethernet packets.

It is frequently useful to sync a single file system, instead of all
mounted file systems via sync(2):
- On machines with many mounts, it is not at all uncommon for some of
them to hang (e.g. unresponsive NFS server). sync(2) will get stuck on
those and may never get to the one you do care about (e.g., /).
- Some applications write lots of data to the file system and then
want to make sure it is flushed to disk. Calling fsync(2) on each
file introduces unnecessary ordering constraints that result in a large
amount of sub-optimal writeback/flush/commit behavior by the file
system.
There are currently two ways (that I know of) to sync a single super_block:
- BLKFLSBUF ioctl on the block device: That also invalidates the bdev
mapping, which isn't usually desirable, and doesn't work for non-block
file systems.
- 'mount -o remount,rw' will call sync_filesystem as an artifact of the
current implemention. Relying on this little-known side effect for
something like data safety sounds foolish.
Both of these approaches require root privileges, which some applications
do not have (nor should they need?) given that sync(2) is an unprivileged
operation.
This patch introduces a new system call syncfs(2) that takes an fd and
syncs only the file system it references. Maybe someday we can
$ sync /some/path
and not get
sync: ignoring all arguments
The syscall is motivated by comments by Al and Christoph at the last LSF.
syncfs(2) seems like an appropriate name given statfs(2).
A similar ioctl was also proposed a while back, see

Put x86 entry code into a separate link section: .entry.text.
Separating the entry text section seems to have performance
benefits - caused by more efficient instruction cache usage.
Running hackbench with perf stat --repeat showed that the change
compresses the icache footprint. The icache load miss rate went
down by about 15%:
before patch:
19417627 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.147% )
after patch:
16490788 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.180% )
The motivation of the patch was to fix a particular kprobes
bug that relates to the entry text section, the performance
advantage was discovered accidentally.
Whole perf output follows:
- results for current tip tree:
Performance counter stats for './hackbench/hackbench 10' (500 runs):

akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct
dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes
back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping
code). Just remove it.
Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write(). It probably doesn't
matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he
points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ...
[ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of
calling ->write directly. That also does the whole fsnotify and write
statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ]
And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation
code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even
compile)

In commit d4d6715, we reopened an old hole for a 64-bit ptracer touching a
32-bit tracee in system call entry. A %rax value set via ptrace at the
entry tracing stop gets used whole as a 32-bit syscall number, while we
only check the low 32 bits for validity.
Fix it by truncating %rax back to 32 bits after syscall_trace_enter,
in addition to testing the full 64 bits as has already been added.

On 64 bits, we always, by necessity, jump through the system call
table via %rax. For 32-bit system calls, in theory the system call
number is stored in %eax, and the code was testing %eax for a valid
system call number. At one point we loaded the stored value back from
the stack to enforce zero-extension, but that was removed in checkin
d4d67150165df8bf1cc05e532f6efca96f907cab. An actual 32-bit process
will not be able to introduce a non-zero-extended number, but it can
happen via ptrace.
Instead of re-introducing the zero-extension, test what we are
actually going to use, i.e. %rax. This only adds a handful of REX
prefixes to the code.

Before commit e28cbf22933d0c0ccaf3c4c27a1a263b41f73859 ("improve
sys_newuname() for compat architectures") 64-bit x86 had a private
implementation of sys_uname which was just called sys_uname, which other
architectures used for the old uname.
Due to some merge issues with the uname refactoring patches we ended up
calling the old uname version for both the old and new system call
slots, which lead to the domainname filed never be set which caused
failures with libnss_nis.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Now that the previous commit made it possible to do the personality
setting at the point of no return, we do just that for ELF binaries.
And suddenly all the reasons for that insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit go
away, and we can just make SET_PERSONALITY() just do the obvious thing
for a 32-bit compat process.
Everything becomes much more straightforward this way.

'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and
it is pretty badly misnamed. It doesn't just flush the old executable
environment, it also starts up the new one.
Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new
personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting
of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new
personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails.
As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this
insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit
(TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the
personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do
the actual personality magic.
This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the
'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail
(still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set
up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed
to trivially comply with the new world order.

Now that we have a generic 32bit compatibility implementation
there is no need for x86 to implement it's own.

Restoring %ebp after the call to audit_syscall_exit() is not
only unnecessary (because the register didn't get clobbered),
but in the sysenter case wasn't even doing the right thing: It
loaded %ebp from a location below the top of stack (RBP <
ARGOFFSET), i.e. arbitrary kernel data got passed back to user
mode in the register.
