[ Upstream commit 8f9abaa6d7de0a70fc68acaedce290c1f96e2e59 ]
Some of the fp/vmx code in sstep.c assume a certain maximum size for the
instructions being emulated. The size of those operations however is
determined separately in analyse_instr().
Add a check to validate the assumption on the maximum size of the
operations, so as to prevent any unintended kernel stack corruption.

This commit is for linux-4.19.y only, it has no direct upstream
equivalent.
Prior to commit 5f2fb52fac15 ("kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to
hostprogs/always-y"), always-y did not exist, making the backport of
mainline commit 1b1e38002648 ("powerpc: add crtsavres.o to always-y
instead of extra-y") to linux-4.19.y as commit b7b85ec5ec15 ("powerpc:
add crtsavres.o to always-y instead of extra-y") incorrect, breaking the
build with linkers that need crtsavres.o:
ld.lld: error: cannot open arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o: No such file or directory
Backporting the aforementioned kbuild commit is not suitable for stable
due to its size and number of conflicts, so transform the always-y usage
to an equivalent form using always, which resolves the build issues.

crtsavres.o is linked to modules. However, as explained in commit
d0e628cd817f ("kbuild: doc: clarify the difference between extra-y

commit 8219d31effa7be5dbc7ff915d7970672e028c701 upstream.
Building tinyconfig with gcc (Debian 11.2.0-16) and assembler (Debian
2.37.90.20220207) the following build error shows up:
{standard input}: Assembler messages:

Rework to add assembler directives [1] around the instruction. The
problem with this might be that we can trick a power6 into
single-stepping through an stbcx. for instance, and it will execute that
in kernel mode.

Add the 'ifdef CONFIG_PPC64' around the 'ptesync' in function
'emulate_update_regs()' to like it is in 'analyse_instr()'. Since it looks like
it got dropped inadvertently by commit 3cdfcbfd32b9 ("powerpc: Change
analyse_instr so it doesn't modify *regs").
A key detail is that analyse_instr() will never recognise lwsync or
ptesync on 32-bit (because of the existing ifdef), and as a result
emulate_update_regs() should never be called with an op specifying
either of those on 32-bit. So removing them from emulate_update_regs()
should be a nop in terms of runtime behaviour.

commit aec86b052df6541cc97c5fca44e5934cbea4963b upstream.
The entry flush mitigation can be enabled/disabled at runtime via a
debugfs file (entry_flush), which causes the kernel to patch itself to
enable/disable the relevant mitigations.
However depending on which mitigation we're using, it may not be safe to
do that patching while other CPUs are active. For example the following
crash:
sleeper[15639]: segfault (11) at c000000000004c20 nip c000000000004c20 lr c000000000004c20
Shows that we returned to userspace with a corrupted LR that points into
the kernel, due to executing the partially patched call to the fallback
entry flush (ie. we missed the LR restore).
Fix it by doing the patching under stop machine. The CPUs that aren't
doing the patching will be spinning in the core of the stop machine
logic. That is currently sufficient for our purposes, because none of
the patching we do is to that code or anywhere in the vicinity.

commit 9a32a7e78bd0cd9a9b6332cbdc345ee5ffd0c5de upstream.
IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1 cache before
it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction mechanism. It is not possible
for an attacker to determine the contents of impermissible memory using this method,
since these systems implement a combination of hardware and software security measures
to prevent scenarios where protected data could be leaked.
However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker induces
the operating system to speculatively execute instructions using data that the
attacker controls. This can be used for example to speculatively bypass "kernel
user access prevention" techniques, as discovered by Anthony Steinhauser of
Google's Safeside Project. This is not an attack by itself, but there is a possibility
it could be used in conjunction with side-channels or other weaknesses in the
privileged code to construct an attack.
This issue can be mitigated by flushing the L1 cache between privilege boundaries
of concern. This patch flushes the L1 cache after user accesses.
This is part of the fix for CVE-2020-4788.

commit 61e3acd8c693a14fc69b824cb5b08d02cb90a6e7 upstream.
The KUAP implementation adds calls in clear_user() to enable and
disable access to userspace memory. However, it doesn't add these to
__clear_user(), which is used in the ptrace regset code.
As there's only one direct user of __clear_user() (the regset code),
and the time taken to set the AMR for KUAP purposes is going to
dominate the cost of a quick access_ok(), there's not much point
having a separate path.
Rename __clear_user() to __arch_clear_user(), and make __clear_user()
just call clear_user().

Backported from commit de78a9c42a79 ("powerpc: Add a framework
for Kernel Userspace Access Protection"). Here we don't try to
add the KUAP framework, we just want the helper functions
because we want to put uaccess flush helpers in them.
In terms of fixes, we don't need commit 1d8f739b07bd ("powerpc/kuap:
Fix set direction in allow/prevent_user_access()") as we don't have
real KUAP. Likewise as all our allows are noops and all our prevents
are just flushes, we don't need commit 9dc086f1e9ef ("powerpc/futex:
Fix incorrect user access blocking") The other 2 fixes we do need.
The original description is:
This patch implements a framework for Kernel Userspace Access
Protection.
Then subarches will have the possibility to provide their own
implementation by providing setup_kuap() and
allow/prevent_user_access().
Some platforms will need to know the area accessed and whether it is
accessed from read, write or both. Therefore source, destination and
size and handed over to the two functions.
mpe: Rename to allow/prevent rather than unlock/lock, and add
read/write wrappers. Drop the 32-bit code for now until we have an
implementation for it. Add kuap to pt_regs for 64-bit as well as
32-bit. Don't split strings, use pr_crit_ratelimited().

Which shows us doing an 8 byte load from c00000062ac3fff9, which
crosses the page boundary at c00000062ac40000 and faults.
It's not OK for memcmp to read past the end of the source or
destination buffers if that would cross a page boundary, because we
don't know that the next page is mapped.
As pointed out by Segher, we can read past the end of the source or
destination as long as we don't cross a 4K boundary, because that's
our minimum page size on all platforms.
The bug is in the code at the .Lcmp_rest_lt8bytes label. When we get
there we know that s1 is 8-byte aligned and we have at least 1 byte to
read, so a single 8-byte load won't read past the end of s1 and cross
a page boundary.
But we have to be more careful with s2. So check if it's within 8
bytes of a 4K boundary and if so go to the byte-by-byte loop.

On little endian platforms, csum_ipv6_magic() keeps len and proto in
CPU byte order. This generates a bad results leading to ICMPv6 packets
from other hosts being dropped by powerpc64le platforms.
In order to fix this, len and proto should be converted to network
byte order ie bigendian byte order. However checksumming 0x12345678
and 0x56341278 provide the exact same result so it is enough to
rotate the sum of len and proto by 1 byte.
PPC32 only support bigendian so the fix is needed for PPC64 only

This stops us from doing code patching in init sections after they've
been freed.
In this chain:
kvm_guest_init() ->
kvm_use_magic_page() ->
fault_in_pages_readable() ->
__get_user() ->
__get_user_nocheck() ->
barrier_nospec();
We have a code patching location at barrier_nospec() and
kvm_guest_init() is an init function. This whole chain gets inlined,
so when we free the init section (hence kvm_guest_init()), this code
goes away and hence should no longer be patched.
We seen this as userspace memory corruption when using a memory
checker while doing partition migration testing on powervm (this
starts the code patching post migration via
/sys/kernel/mobility/migration). In theory, it could also happen when
using /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/barrier_nospec.

In __copy_tofrom_user, if we encounter an exception on a store, we
stop copying and return the number of bytes not copied. However,
if the store is wider than one byte and is to an unaligned address,
it is possible that the store operand overlaps a page boundary
and the exception occurred on the latter part of the store operand,
meaning that it would be possible to copy a few more bytes. Since
copy_to_user is generally expected to copy as much as possible,
it would be better to copy those extra few bytes. This adds code
to do that. Since this edge case is not performance-critical,
the code has been written to be compact rather than as fast as
possible.

The hand-coded assembler 64-bit copy routines include feature sections
that select one code path or another depending on which CPU we are
executing on. The self-tests for these copy routines end up testing
just one path. This adds a mechanism for selecting any desired code
path at compile time, and makes 2 or 3 versions of each test, each
using a different code path, so as to cover all the possible paths.

This aims to make the generation of exception table entries for the
loads and stores in __copy_tofrom_user_base clearer and easier to
verify. Instead of having a series of local labels on the loads and
stores, with a series of corresponding labels later for the exception
handlers, we now use macros to generate exception table entries at the
point of each load and store that could potentially trap. We do this
with the macros lex (load exception) and stex (store exception).
These macros are used right before the load or store to which they
apply.
Some complexity is introduced by the fact that we have some more work
to do after hitting an exception, because we need to calculate and
return the number of bytes not copied. The code uses r3 as the
current pointer into the destination buffer, that is, the address of
the first byte of the destination that has not been modified.
However, at various points in the copy loops, r3 can be 4, 8, 16 or 24
bytes behind that point.
To express this offset in an understandable way, we define a symbol
r3_offset which is updated at various points so that it equal to the
difference between the address of the first unmodified byte of the
destination and the value in r3. (In fact it only needs to be
accurate at the point of each lex or stex macro invocation.)
The rules for updating r3_offset are as follows:
* It starts out at 0
* An addi r3,r3,N instruction decreases r3_offset by N
* A store instruction (stb, sth, stw, std) to N(r3)
increases r3_offset by the width of the store (1, 2, 4, 8)
* A store with update instruction (stbu, sthu, stwu, stdu) to N(r3)
sets r3_offset to the width of the store.
There is some trickiness to the way that the lex and stex macros and
the associated exception handlers work. I would have liked to use
the current value of r3_offset in the name of the symbol used as
the exception handler, as in ".Lld_exc_$(r3_offset)" and then
have symbols .Lld_exc_0, .Lld_exc_8, .Lld_exc_16 etc. corresponding
to the offsets that needed to be added to r3. However, I couldn't
see a way to do that with gas.
Instead, the exception handler address is .Lld_exc - r3_offset or
.Lst_exc - r3_offset, that is, the distance ahead of .Lld_exc/.Lst_exc
that we start executing is equal to the amount that we need to add to
r3. This works because r3_offset is always a small multiple of 4,
and our instructions are 4 bytes long. This means that before
.Lld_exc and .Lst_exc, we have a sequence of instructions that
increments r3 by 4, 8, 16 or 24 depending on where we start. The
sequence increments r3 by 4 per instruction (on average).
We also replace the exception table for the 4k copy loop by a
macro per load or store. These loads and stores all use exactly
the same exception handler, which simply resets the argument registers
r3, r4 and r5 to there original values and re-does the whole copy
using the slower loop.

Add a macro and some helper C functions for patching single asm
instructions.
The gas macro means we can do something like:
1: nop
patch_site 1b, patch__foo
Which is less visually distracting than defining a GLOBAL symbol at 1,
and also doesn't pollute the symbol table which can confuse eg. perf.
These are obviously similar to our existing feature sections, but are
not automatically patched based on CPU/MMU features, rather they are
designed to be manually patched by C code at some arbitrary point.

The generic implementation of strlen() reads strings byte per byte.
This patch implements strlen() in assembly based on a read of entire
words, in the same spirit as what some other arches and glibc do.
On a 8xx the time spent in strlen is reduced by 3/4 for long strings.
strlen() selftest on an 8xx provides the following values:
Before the patch (ie with the generic strlen() in lib/string.c):
len 256 : time = 1.195055
len 016 : time = 0.083745
len 008 : time = 0.046828
len 004 : time = 0.028390
After the patch:
len 256 : time = 0.272185 ==> 78% improvment
len 016 : time = 0.040632 ==> 51% improvment
len 008 : time = 0.033060 ==> 29% improvment
len 004 : time = 0.029149 ==> 2% degradation
On a 832x:
Before the patch:
len 256 : time = 0.236125
len 016 : time = 0.018136
len 008 : time = 0.011000
len 004 : time = 0.007229
After the patch:
len 256 : time = 0.094950 ==> 60% improvment
len 016 : time = 0.013357 ==> 26% improvment
len 008 : time = 0.010586 ==> 4% improvment

This patch is based on the previous VMX patch on memcmp().
To optimize ppc64 memcmp() with VMX instruction, we need to think about
the VMX penalty brought with: If kernel uses VMX instruction, it needs
to save/restore current thread's VMX registers. There are 32 x 128 bits
VMX registers in PPC, which means 32 x 16 = 512 bytes for load and store.
The major concern regarding the memcmp() performance in kernel is KSM,
who will use memcmp() frequently to merge identical pages. So it will
make sense to take some measures/enhancement on KSM to see whether any
improvement can be done here. Cyril Bur indicates that the memcmp() for
KSM has a higher possibility to fail (unmatch) early in previous bytes
in following mail.
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/817322/#1773629
And I am taking a follow-up on this with this patch.
Per some testing, it shows KSM memcmp() will fail early at previous 32
bytes. More specifically:
- 76% cases will fail/unmatch before 16 bytes;
- 83% cases will fail/unmatch before 32 bytes;
- 84% cases will fail/unmatch before 64 bytes;
So 32 bytes looks a better choice than other bytes for pre-checking.
The early failure is also true for memcmp() for non-KSM case. With a
non-typical call load, it shows ~73% cases fail before first 32 bytes.
This patch adds a 32 bytes pre-checking firstly before jumping into VMX
operations, to avoid the unnecessary VMX penalty. It is not limited to
KSM case. And the testing shows ~20% improvement on memcmp() average
execution time with this patch.
And note the 32B pre-checking is only performed when the compare size
is long enough (>=4K currently) to allow VMX operation.

Currently memcmp() 64bytes version in powerpc will fall back to .Lshort
(compare per byte mode) if either src or dst address is not 8 bytes aligned.
It can be opmitized in 2 situations:
1) if both addresses are with the same offset with 8 bytes boundary:
memcmp() can compare the unaligned bytes within 8 bytes boundary firstly
and then compare the rest 8-bytes-aligned content with .Llong mode.
2) If src/dst addrs are not with the same offset of 8 bytes boundary:
memcmp() can align src addr with 8 bytes, increment dst addr accordingly,
then load src with aligned mode and load dst with unaligned mode.
This patch optmizes memcmp() behavior in the above 2 situations.
Tested with both little/big endian. Performance result below is based on
little endian.
Following is the test result with src/dst having the same offset case:

commit 87a156fb18fe1 ("Align hot loops of some string functions")
degraded the performance of string functions by adding useless
nops
A simple benchmark on an 8xx calling 100000x a memchr() that
matches the first byte runs in 41668 TB ticks before this patch
and in 35986 TB ticks after this patch. So this gives an
improvement of approx 10%
Another benchmark doing the same with a memchr() matching the 128th
byte runs in 1011365 TB ticks before this patch and 1005682 TB ticks
after this patch, so regardless on the number of loops, removing
those useless nops improves the test by 5683 TB ticks.

emulate_step() tests are failing if VSX is not supported or disabled.
emulate_step_test: lxvd2x : FAIL
emulate_step_test: stxvd2x : FAIL
If !CPU_FTR_VSX, emulate_step() failure is expected and testcase should
PASS with a valid justification. After patch:
emulate_step_test: lxvd2x : PASS (!CPU_FTR_VSX)
emulate_step_test: stxvd2x : PASS (!CPU_FTR_VSX)

emulate_step() is not checking runtime VSX feature flag before
emulating an instruction. This is causing kernel crash when kernel
is compiled with CONFIG_VSX=y but running on a machine where VSX
is not supported or disabled. Ex, while running emulate_step tests
on P6 machine:

Note that unlike RFI which is patched only in kernel the nospec state
reflects settings at the time the module was loaded.
Iterating all modules and re-patching every time the settings change
is not implemented.
Based on lwsync patching.

Based on the RFI patching. This is required to be able to disable the
speculation barrier.
Only one barrier type is supported and it does nothing when the
firmware does not enable it. Also re-patching modules is not supported
So the only meaningful thing that can be done is patching out the
speculation barrier at boot when the user says it is not wanted.

Some functions prototypes were missing for the non-altivec code. Add the
missing prototypes in a new header file, fix warnings treated as errors
with W=1:
arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx_glue.c:18:6: error: no previous prototype for ‘xor_altivec_2’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx_glue.c:29:6: error: no previous prototype for ‘xor_altivec_3’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx_glue.c:40:6: error: no previous prototype for ‘xor_altivec_4’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx_glue.c:52:6: error: no previous prototype for ‘xor_altivec_5’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
The prototypes were already present in <asm/xor.h> but this header file is
meant to be included after <include/linux/raid/xor.h>. Trying to re-use
<asm/xor.h> directly would lead to warnings such as:
arch/powerpc/include/asm/xor.h:39:15: error: variable ‘xor_block_altivec’ has initializer but incomplete type
Trying to re-use <asm/xor.h> after <include/linux/raid/xor.h> in
xor_vmx_glue.c would in turn trigger the following warnings:
include/asm-generic/xor.h:688:34: error: ‘xor_block_32regs’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-variable]

On some CPUs we can prevent a vulnerability related to store-to-load
forwarding by preventing store forwarding between privilege domains,
by inserting a barrier in kernel entry and exit paths.
This is known to be the case on at least Power7, Power8 and Power9
powerpc CPUs.
Barriers must be inserted generally before the first load after moving
to a higher privilege, and after the last store before moving to a
lower privilege, HV and PR privilege transitions must be protected.
Barriers are added as patch sections, with all kernel/hypervisor entry
points patched, and the exit points to lower privilge levels patched
similarly to the RFI flush patching.
Firmware advertisement is not implemented yet, so CPU flush types
are hard coded.

Add a test of the relative branch patching logic in the alternate
section feature fixup code. This tests that if we branch past the last
instruction of the alternate section, the branch is not patched.
That's because the assembler will have created a branch that already
points to the first instruction after the patched section, which is
correct and needs no further patching.

We want this to remain the last test (because it's disabled by
default), so give it a non-numbered name so we don't have to renumber
it when adding new tests before it.
