d4173023e6 Merge branch 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull siginfo cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "Long ago when 2.4 was just a testing release copy_siginfo_to_user was
  made to copy individual fields to userspace, possibly for efficiency
  and to ensure initialized values were not copied to userspace.

  Unfortunately the design was complex, it's assumptions unstated, and
  humans are fallible and so while it worked much of the time that
  design failed to ensure unitialized memory is not copied to userspace.

  This set of changes is part of a new design to clean up siginfo and
  simplify things, and hopefully make the siginfo handling robust enough
  that a simple inspection of the code can be made to ensure we don't
  copy any unitializied fields to userspace.

  The design is to unify struct siginfo and struct compat_siginfo into a
  single definition that is shared between all architectures so that
  anyone adding to the set of information shared with struct siginfo can
  see the whole picture. Hopefully ensuring all future si_code
  assignments are arch independent.

  The design is to unify copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
  copy_siginfo_from_user32 so that those function are complete and cope
  with all of the different cases documented in signinfo_layout. I don't
  think there was a single implementation of either of those functions
  that was complete and correct before my changes unified them.

  The design is to introduce a series of helpers including
  force_siginfo_fault that take the values that are needed in struct
  siginfo and build the siginfo structure for their callers. Ensuring
  struct siginfo is built correctly.

  The remaining work for 4.17 (unless someone thinks it is post -rc1
  material) is to push usage of those helpers down into the
  architectures so that architecture specific code will not need to deal
  with the fiddly work of intializing struct siginfo, and then when
  struct siginfo is guaranteed to be fully initialized change copy
  siginfo_to_user into a simple wrapper around copy_to_user.

  Further there is work in progress on the issues that have been
  documented requires arch specific knowledge to sort out.

  The changes below fix or at least document all of the issues that have
  been found with siginfo generation. Then proceed to unify struct
  siginfo the 32 bit helpers that copy siginfo to and from userspace,
  and generally clean up anything that is not arch specific with regards
  to siginfo generation.

  It is a lot but with the unification you can of siginfo you can
  already see the code reduction in the kernel"

0abdeff598 arm64: fpsimd: Fix state leakage when migrating after sigreturn
When refactoring the sigreturn code to handle SVE, I changed the
sigreturn implementation to store the new FPSIMD state from the
user sigframe into task_struct before reloading the state into the
CPU regs.  This makes it easier to convert the data for SVE when
needed.

However, it turns out that the fpsimd_state structure passed into
fpsimd_update_current_state is not fully initialised, so assigning
the structure as a whole corrupts current->thread.fpsimd_state.cpu
with uninitialised data.

This means that if the garbage data written to .cpu happens to be a
valid cpu number, and the task is subsequently migrated to the cpu
identified by the that number, and then tries to enter userspace,
the CPU FPSIMD regs will be assumed to be correct for the task and
not reloaded as they should be.  This can result in returning to
userspace with the FPSIMD registers containing data that is stale or
that belongs to another task or to the kernel.

Knowingly handing around a kernel structure that is incompletely
initialised with user data is a potential source of mistakes,
especially across source file boundaries.  To help avoid a repeat
of this issue, this patch adapts the relevant internal API to hand
around the user-accessible subset only: struct user_fpsimd_state.

To avoid future surprises, this patch also converts all uses of
struct fpsimd_state that really only access the user subset, to use
struct user_fpsimd_state.  A few missing consts are added to
function prototypes for good measure.

Thanks to Will for spotting the cause of the bug here.

526c3ddb6a signal/arm64: Document conflicts with SI_USER and SIGFPE,SIGTRAP,SIGBUS
Setting si_code to 0 results in a userspace seeing an si_code of 0.
This is the same si_code as SI_USER.  Posix and common sense requires
that SI_USER not be a signal specific si_code.  As such this use of 0
for the si_code is a pretty horribly broken ABI.

Further use of si_code == 0 guaranteed that copy_siginfo_to_user saw a
value of __SI_KILL and now sees a value of SIL_KILL with the result
that uid and pid fields are copied and which might copying the si_addr
field by accident but certainly not by design.  Making this a very
flakey implementation.

Utilizing FPE_FIXME, BUS_FIXME, TRAP_FIXME siginfo_layout will now return
SIL_FAULT and the appropriate fields will be reliably copied.

But folks this is a new and unique kind of bad.  This is massively
untested code bad.  This is inventing new and unique was to get
siginfo wrong bad.  This is don't even think about Posix or what
siginfo means bad.  This is lots of eyeballs all missing the fact
that the code does the wrong thing bad.  This is getting stuck
and keep making the same mistake bad.

I really hope we can find a non userspace breaking fix for this on a
port as new as arm64.

Possible ABI fixes include:
- Send the signal without siginfo
- Don't generate a signal
- Possibly assign and use an appropriate si_code
- Don't handle cases which can't happen

a454483137 arm64: fpsimd: Fix copying of FP state from signal frame into task struct
Commit 9de52a755c ("arm64: fpsimd: Fix failure to restore FPSIMD
state after signals") fixed an issue reported in our FPSIMD signal
restore code but inadvertently introduced another issue which tends to
manifest as random SEGVs in userspace.

The problem is that when we copy the struct fpsimd_state from the kernel
stack (populated from the signal frame) into the struct held in the
current thread_struct, we blindly copy uninitialised stack into the
"cpu" field, which means that context-switching of the FP registers is
no longer reliable.

This patch fixes the problem by copying only the user_fpsimd member of
struct fpsimd_state. We should really rework the function prototypes
to take struct user_fpsimd_state * instead, but let's just get this
fixed for now.

cb968afc78 arm64/sve: Avoid dereference of dead task_struct in KVM guest entry
When deciding whether to invalidate FPSIMD state cached in the cpu,
the backend function sve_flush_cpu_state() attempts to dereference
__this_cpu_read(fpsimd_last_state).  However, this is not safe:
there is no guarantee that this task_struct pointer is still valid,
because the task could have exited in the meantime.

This means that we need another means to get the appropriate value
of TIF_SVE for the associated task.

This patch solves this issue by adding a cached copy of the TIF_SVE
flag in fpsimd_last_state, which we can check without dereferencing
the task pointer.

In particular, although this patch is not a KVM fix per se, this
means that this check is now done safely in the KVM world switch
path (which is currently the only user of this code).

8884b7bd7e arm64: fpsimd: Abstract out binding of task's fpsimd context to the cpu.
There is currently some duplicate logic to associate current's
FPSIMD context with the cpu when loading FPSIMD state into the cpu
regs.

Subsequent patches will update that logic, so in order to ensure it
only needs to be done in one place, this patch factors the relevant
code out into a new function fpsimd_bind_to_cpu().

9de52a755c arm64: fpsimd: Fix failure to restore FPSIMD state after signals
The fpsimd_update_current_state() function is responsible for
loading the FPSIMD state from the user signal frame into the
current task during sigreturn.  When implementing support for SVE,
conditional code was added to this function in order to handle the
case where SVE state need to be loaded for the task and merged with
the FPSIMD data from the signal frame; however, the FPSIMD-only
case was unintentionally dropped.

As a result of this, sigreturn does not currently restore the
FPSIMD state of the task, except in the case where the system
supports SVE and the signal frame contains SVE state in addition to
FPSIMD state.

This patch fixes this bug by making the copy-in of the FPSIMD data
from the signal frame to thread_struct unconditional.

This remains a performance regression from v4.14, since the FPSIMD
state is now copied into thread_struct and then loaded back,
instead of _only_ being loaded into the CPU FPSIMD registers.
However, it is essential to call task_fpsimd_load() here anyway in
order to ensure that the SVE enable bit in CPACR_EL1 is set
correctly before returning to userspace.  This could use some
refactoring, but since sigreturn is not a fast path I have kept
this patch as a pure fix and left the refactoring for later.

17eed27b02 arm64/sve: KVM: Prevent guests from using SVE
Until KVM has full SVE support, guests must not be allowed to
execute SVE instructions.

This patch enables the necessary traps, and also ensures that the
traps are disabled again on exit from the guest so that the host
can still use SVE if it wants to.

On guest exit, high bits of the SVE Zn registers may have been
clobbered as a side-effect the execution of FPSIMD instructions in
the guest.  The existing KVM host FPSIMD restore code is not
sufficient to restore these bits, so this patch explicitly marks
the CPU as not containing cached vector state for any task, thus
forcing a reload on the next return to userspace.  This is an
interim measure, in advance of adding full SVE awareness to KVM.

This marking of cached vector state in the CPU as invalid is done
using __this_cpu_write(fpsimd_last_state, NULL) in fpsimd.c.  Due
to the repeated use of this rather obscure operation, it makes
sense to factor it out as a separate helper with a clearer name.
This patch factors it out as fpsimd_flush_cpu_state(), and ports
all callers to use it.

As a side effect of this refactoring, a this_cpu_write() in
fpsimd_cpu_pm_notifier() is changed to __this_cpu_write().  This
should be fine, since cpu_pm_enter() is supposed to be called only
with interrupts disabled.

4ffa09a939 arm64/sve: Add sysctl to set the default vector length for new processes
Because of the effect of SVE on the size of the signal frame, the
default vector length used for new processes involves a tradeoff
between performance of SVE-enabled software on the one hand, and
reliability of non-SVE-aware software on the other hand.

For this reason, the best choice depends on the repertoire of
userspace software in use and is thus best left up to distro
maintainers, sysadmins and developers.

If CONFIG_SYSCTL and CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL are enabled, this patch
exposes the default vector length in
/proc/sys/abi/sve_default_vector_length, where boot scripts or the
adventurous can poke it.

In common with other arm64 ABI sysctls, this control is currently
global: setting it requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the root user
namespace, but the value set is effective for subsequent execs in
all namespaces.  The control only affects _new_ processes, however:
changing it does not affect the vector length of any existing
process.

The intended usage model is that if userspace is known to be fully
SVE-tolerant (or a developer is curious to find out) then this
parameter can be cranked up during system startup.

2d2123bc7c arm64/sve: Add prctl controls for userspace vector length management
This patch adds two arm64-specific prctls, to permit userspace to
control its vector length:

 * PR_SVE_SET_VL: set the thread's SVE vector length and vector
   length inheritance mode.

 * PR_SVE_GET_VL: get the same information.

Although these prctls resemble instruction set features in the SVE
architecture, they provide additional control: the vector length
inheritance mode is Linux-specific and nothing to do with the
architecture, and the architecture does not permit EL0 to set its
own vector length directly.  Both can be used in portable tools
without requiring the use of SVE instructions.

43d4da2c45 arm64/sve: ptrace and ELF coredump support
This patch defines and implements a new regset NT_ARM_SVE, which
describes a thread's SVE register state.  This allows a debugger to
manipulate the SVE state, as well as being included in ELF
coredumps for post-mortem debugging.

Because the regset size and layout are dependent on the thread's
current vector length, it is not possible to define a C struct to
describe the regset contents as is done for existing regsets.
Instead, and for the same reasons, NT_ARM_SVE is based on the
freeform variable-layout approach used for the SVE signal frame.

Additionally, to reduce debug overhead when debugging threads that
might or might not have live SVE register state, NT_ARM_SVE may be
presented in one of two different formats: the old struct
user_fpsimd_state format is embedded for describing the state of a
thread with no live SVE state, whereas a new variable-layout
structure is embedded for describing live SVE state.  This avoids a
debugger needing to poll NT_PRFPREG in addition to NT_ARM_SVE, and
allows existing userspace code to handle the non-SVE case without
too much modification.

For this to work, NT_ARM_SVE is defined with a fixed-format header
of type struct user_sve_header, which the recipient can use to
figure out the content, size and layout of the reset of the regset.
Accessor macros are defined to allow the vector-length-dependent
parts of the regset to be manipulated.

fdfa976cae arm64/sve: Preserve SVE registers around EFI runtime service calls
The EFI runtime services ABI allows EFI to make free use of the
FPSIMD registers during EFI runtime service calls, subject to the
callee-save requirements of the AArch64 procedure call standard.

However, the SVE architecture allows upper bits of the SVE vector
registers to be zeroed as a side-effect of FPSIMD V-register
writes.  This means that the SVE vector registers must be saved in
their entirety in order to avoid data loss: non-SVE-aware EFI
implementations cannot restore them correctly.

The non-IRQ case is already handled gracefully by
kernel_neon_begin().  For the IRQ case, this patch allocates a
suitable per-CPU stash buffer for the full SVE register state and
uses it to preserve the affected registers around EFI calls.  It is
currently unclear how the EFI runtime services ABI will be
clarified with respect to SVE, so it safest to assume that the
predicate registers and FFR must be saved and restored too.

No attempt is made to restore the restore the vector length after
a call, for now.  It is deemed rather insane for EFI to change it,
and contemporary EFI implementations certainly won't.

2e0f2478ea arm64/sve: Probe SVE capabilities and usable vector lengths
This patch uses the cpufeatures framework to determine common SVE
capabilities and vector lengths, and configures the runtime SVE
support code appropriately.

ZCR_ELx is not really a feature register, but it is convenient to
use it as a template for recording the maximum vector length
supported by a CPU, using the LEN field.  This field is similar to
a feature field in that it is a contiguous bitfield for which we
want to determine the minimum system-wide value.  This patch adds
ZCR as a pseudo-register in cpuinfo/cpufeatures, with appropriate
custom code to populate it.  Finding the minimum supported value of
the LEN field is left to the cpufeatures framework in the usual
way.

The meaning of ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 is not architecturally defined yet,
so for now we just require it to be zero.

Note that much of this code is dormant and SVE still won't be used
yet, since system_supports_sve() remains hardwired to false.

7582e22038 arm64/sve: Backend logic for setting the vector length
This patch implements the core logic for changing a task's vector
length on request from userspace.  This will be used by the ptrace
and prctl frontends that are implemented in later patches.

The SVE architecture permits, but does not require, implementations
to support vector lengths that are not a power of two.  To handle
this, logic is added to check a requested vector length against a
possibly sparse bitmap of available vector lengths at runtime, so
that the best supported value can be chosen.

8cd969d28f arm64/sve: Signal handling support
This patch implements support for saving and restoring the SVE
registers around signals.

A fixed-size header struct sve_context is always included in the
signal frame encoding the thread's vector length at the time of
signal delivery, optionally followed by a variable-layout structure
encoding the SVE registers.

Because of the need to preserve backwards compatibility, the FPSIMD
view of the SVE registers is always dumped as a struct
fpsimd_context in the usual way, in addition to any sve_context.

The SVE vector registers are dumped in full, including bits 127:0
of each register which alias the corresponding FPSIMD vector
registers in the hardware.  To avoid any ambiguity about which
alias to restore during sigreturn, the kernel always restores bits
127:0 of each SVE vector register from the fpsimd_context in the
signal frame (which must be present): userspace needs to take this
into account if it wants to modify the SVE vector register contents
on return from a signal.

FPSR and FPCR, which are used by both FPSIMD and SVE, are not
included in sve_context because they are always present in
fpsimd_context anyway.

For signal delivery, a new helper
fpsimd_signal_preserve_current_state() is added to update _both_
the FPSIMD and SVE views in the task struct, to make it easier to
populate this information into the signal frame.  Because of the
redundancy between the two views of the state, only one is updated
otherwise.

79ab047c75 arm64/sve: Support vector length resetting for new processes
It's desirable to be able to reset the vector length to some sane
default for new processes, since the new binary and its libraries
may or may not be SVE-aware.

This patch tracks the desired post-exec vector length (if any) in a
new thread member sve_vl_onexec, and adds a new thread flag
TIF_SVE_VL_INHERIT to control whether to inherit or reset the
vector length.  Currently these are inactive.  Subsequent patches
will provide the capability to configure them.

bc0ee47603 arm64/sve: Core task context handling
This patch adds the core support for switching and managing the SVE
architectural state of user tasks.

Calls to the existing FPSIMD low-level save/restore functions are
factored out as new functions task_fpsimd_{save,load}(), since SVE
now dynamically may or may not need to be handled at these points
depending on the kernel configuration, hardware features discovered
at boot, and the runtime state of the task.  To make these
decisions as fast as possible, const cpucaps are used where
feasible, via the system_supports_sve() helper.

The SVE registers are only tracked for threads that have explicitly
used SVE, indicated by the new thread flag TIF_SVE.  Otherwise, the
FPSIMD view of the architectural state is stored in
thread.fpsimd_state as usual.

When in use, the SVE registers are not stored directly in
thread_struct due to their potentially large and variable size.
Because the task_struct slab allocator must be configured very
early during kernel boot, it is also tricky to configure it
correctly to match the maximum vector length provided by the
hardware, since this depends on examining secondary CPUs as well as
the primary.  Instead, a pointer sve_state in thread_struct points
to a dynamically allocated buffer containing the SVE register data,
and code is added to allocate and free this buffer at appropriate
times.

TIF_SVE is set when taking an SVE access trap from userspace, if
suitable hardware support has been detected.  This enables SVE for
the thread: a subsequent return to userspace will disable the trap
accordingly.  If such a trap is taken without sufficient system-
wide hardware support, SIGILL is sent to the thread instead as if
an undefined instruction had been executed: this may happen if
userspace tries to use SVE in a system where not all CPUs support
it for example.

The kernel will clear TIF_SVE and disable SVE for the thread
whenever an explicit syscall is made by userspace.  For backwards
compatibility reasons and conformance with the spirit of the base
AArch64 procedure call standard, the subset of the SVE register
state that aliases the FPSIMD registers is still preserved across a
syscall even if this happens.  The remainder of the SVE register
state logically becomes zero at syscall entry, though the actual
zeroing work is currently deferred until the thread next tries to
use SVE, causing another trap to the kernel.  This implementation
is suboptimal: in the future, the fastpath case may be optimised
to zero the registers in-place and leave SVE enabled for the task,
where beneficial.

TIF_SVE is also cleared in the following slowpath cases, which are
taken as reasonable hints that the task may no longer use SVE:
 * exec
 * fork and clone

Code is added to sync data between thread.fpsimd_state and
thread.sve_state whenever enabling/disabling SVE, in a manner
consistent with the SVE architectural programmer's model.

cb84d11e16 arm64: neon: Remove support for nested or hardirq kernel-mode NEON
Support for kernel-mode NEON to be nested and/or used in hardirq
context adds significant complexity, and the benefits may be
marginal.  In practice, kernel-mode NEON is not used in hardirq
context, and is rarely used in softirq context (by certain mac80211
drivers).

This patch implements an arm64 may_use_simd() function to allow
clients to check whether kernel-mode NEON is usable in the current
context, and simplifies kernel_neon_{begin,end}() to handle only
saving of the task FPSIMD state (if any).  Without nesting, there
is no other state to save.

The partial fpsimd save/restore functions become redundant as a
result of these changes, so they are removed too.

The save/restore model is changed to operate directly on
task_struct without additional percpu storage.  This simplifies the
code and saves a bit of memory, but means that softirqs must now be
disabled when manipulating the task fpsimd state from task context:
correspondingly, preempt_{en,dis}sable() calls are upgraded to
local_bh_{en,dis}able() as appropriate.  fpsimd_thread_switch()
already runs with hardirqs disabled and so is already protected
from softirqs.

These changes should make it easier to support kernel-mode NEON in
the presence of the Scalable Vector extension in the future.

4328825d4f arm64: neon: Allow EFI runtime services to use FPSIMD in irq context
In order to be able to cope with kernel-mode NEON being unavailable
in hardirq/nmi context and non-nestable, we need special handling
for EFI runtime service calls that may be made during an interrupt
that interrupted a kernel_neon_begin()..._end() block.  This will
occur if the kernel tries to write diagnostic data to EFI
persistent storage during a panic triggered by an NMI for example.

EFI runtime services specify an ABI that clobbers the FPSIMD state,
rather than being able to use it optionally as an accelerator.
This means that EFI is really a special case and can be handled
specially.

To enable EFI calls from interrupts, this patch creates dedicated
__efi_fpsimd_{begin,end}() helpers solely for this purpose, which
save/restore to a separate percpu buffer if called in a context
where kernel_neon_begin() is not usable.

674c242c93 arm64: flush FP/SIMD state correctly after execve()
When a task calls execve(), its FP/SIMD state is flushed so that
none of the original program state is observeable by the incoming
program.

However, since this flushing consists of setting the in-memory copy
of the FP/SIMD state to all zeroes, the CPU field is set to CPU 0 as
well, which indicates to the lazy FP/SIMD preserve/restore code that
the FP/SIMD state does not need to be reread from memory if the task
is scheduled again on CPU 0 without any other tasks having entered
userland (or used the FP/SIMD in kernel mode) on the same CPU in the
mean time. If this happens, the FP/SIMD state of the old program will
still be present in the registers when the new program starts.

So set the CPU field to the invalid value of NR_CPUS when performing
the flush, by calling fpsimd_flush_task_state().

32365e64a2 arm64: fix bug for reloading FPSIMD state after CPU hotplug.
Now FPSIMD don't handle HOTPLUG_CPU. This introduces bug after cpu down/up process.

After cpu down/up process, the FPSMID hardware register is default value, not any
process's fpsimd context. when CPU_DEAD set cpu's fpsimd_state to NULL, it will force
to load the fpsimd context for the thread, to avoid the chance to skip to load the context.
If process A is the last user process on CPU N before cpu down, and the first user process
on the same CPU N after cpu up, A's fpsimd_state.cpu is the current cpu id,
and per_cpu(fpsimd_last_state) points A's fpsimd_state, so kernel will not reload the
context during it return to user space.

the condition for both the task's fpsimd_state.cpu field contains the

points to the task's fpsimd_state, so finally kernel will skip to reload

005f78cd88 arm64: defer reloading a task's FPSIMD state to userland resume
If a task gets scheduled out and back in again and nothing has touched
its FPSIMD state in the mean time, there is really no reason to reload
it from memory. Similarly, repeated calls to kernel_neon_begin() and
kernel_neon_end() will preserve and restore the FPSIMD state every time.

This patch defers the FPSIMD state restore to the last possible moment,
i.e., right before the task returns to userland. If a task does not return to
userland at all (for any reason), the existing FPSIMD state is preserved
and may be reused by the owning task if it gets scheduled in again on the
same CPU.

This patch adds two more functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD
register file saves and restores:
- fpsimd_restore_current_state -> ensure current's FPSIMD state is loaded
- fpsimd_flush_task_state -> invalidate live copies of a task's FPSIMD state

- fpsimd_update_current_state -> replace current's FPSIMD state
