204db6ed17 mm: fold arch_randomize_brk into ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE
The arch_randomize_brk() function is used on several architectures,
even those that don't support ET_DYN ASLR. To avoid bulky extern/#define
tricks, consolidate the support under CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE for
the architectures that support it, while still handling CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK.

fc3e958a2b x86/asm/entry: Clear EXTRA_REGS for all executable formats
On failure, sys_execve() does not clobber EXTRA_REGS, so we can
just return to userpsace without saving/restoring them.

On success, ELF_PLAT_INIT() in sys_execve() clears all these
registers.

On other executable formats:

  - binfmt_flat.c has similar FLAT_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and everyone
    else except sh) doesn't define it.

  - binfmt_elf_fdpic.c has ELF_FDPIC_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and most
    others) doesn't define it.

  - There are no such hooks in binfmt_aout.c et al. We inherit
    EXTRA_REGS from the prior executable.

This inconsistency was not intended.

This change removes SAVE/RESTORE_EXTRA_REGS in stub_execve,
removes register clearing in ELF_PLAT_INIT(),
and instead simply clears them on success in stub_execve.

Run-tested.

4e26d11f52 x86/mm: Improve AMD Bulldozer ASLR workaround
The ASLR implementation needs to special-case AMD F15h processors by
clearing out bits [14:12] of the virtual address in order to avoid I$
cross invalidations and thus performance penalty for certain workloads.
For details, see:

  dfb09f9b7a ("x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties on AMD family 15h")

This special case reduces the mmapped file's entropy by 3 bits.

The following output is the run on an AMD Opteron 62xx class CPU
processor under x86_64 Linux 4.0.0:

  $ for i in `seq 1 10`; do cat /proc/self/maps | grep "r-xp.*libc" ; done
  b7588000-b7736000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 4924       /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
  b7570000-b771e000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 4924       /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
  b75d0000-b777e000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 4924       /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
  b75b0000-b775e000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 4924       /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
  b7578000-b7726000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 4924       /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
  ...

Bits [12:14] are always 0, i.e. the address always ends in 0x8000 or
0x0000.

32-bit systems, as in the example above, are especially sensitive
to this issue because 32-bit randomness for VA space is 8 bits (see
mmap_rnd()). With the Bulldozer special case, this diminishes to only 32
different slots of mmap virtual addresses.

This patch randomizes per boot the three affected bits rather than
setting them to zero. Since all the shared pages have the same value
at bits [12..14], there is no cache aliasing problems. This value gets
generated during system boot and it is thus not known to a potential
remote attacker. Therefore, the impact from the Bulldozer workaround
gets diminished and ASLR randomness increased.

0e6d3112a4 x86: Reject x32 executables if x32 ABI not supported
It is currently possible to execve() an x32 executable on an x86_64
kernel that has only ia32 compat enabled.  However all its syscalls
will fail, even _exit().  This usually causes it to segfault.

Change the ELF compat architecture check so that x32 executables are
rejected if we don't support the x32 ABI.

This unifies the vdso mapping code and teaches it how to map special
pages at addresses corresponding to symbols in the vdso image.  The
new code is used for all vdso variants, but so far only the 32-bit

6f121e548f x86, vdso: Reimplement vdso.so preparation in build-time C
Currently, vdso.so files are prepared and analyzed by a combination
of objcopy, nm, some linker script tricks, and some simple ELF
parsers in the kernel.  Replace all of that with plain C code that
runs at build time.

All five vdso images now generate .c files that are compiled and
linked in to the kernel image.

This should cause only one userspace-visible change: the loaded vDSO
images are stripped more heavily than they used to be.  Everything
outside the loadable segment is dropped.  In particular, this causes
the section table and section name strings to be missing.  This
should be fine: real dynamic loaders don't load or inspect these
tables anyway.  The result is roughly equivalent to eu-strip's
--strip-sections option.

The purpose of this change is to enable the vvar and hpet mappings
to be moved to the page following the vDSO load segment.  Currently,
it is possible for the section table to extend into the page after
the load segment, so, if we map it, it risks overlapping the vvar or
hpet page.  This happens whenever the load segment is just under a
multiple of PAGE_SIZE.

The only real subtlety here is that the old code had a C file with
inline assembler that did 'call VDSO32_vsyscall' and a linker script
that defined 'VDSO32_vsyscall = __kernel_vsyscall'.  This most
likely worked by accident: the linker script entry defines a symbol
associated with an address as opposed to an alias for the real
dynamic symbol __kernel_vsyscall.  That caused ld to relocate the
reference at link time instead of leaving an interposable dynamic
relocation.  Since the VDSO32_vsyscall hack is no longer needed, I
now use 'call __kernel_vsyscall', and I added -Bsymbolic to make it
work.  vdso2c will generate an error and abort the build if the
resulting image contains any dynamic relocations, so we won't
silently generate bad vdso images.

(Dynamic relocations are a problem because nothing will even attempt
to relocate the vdso.)

b0b49f2673 x86, vdso: Remove compat vdso support
The compat vDSO is a complicated hack that's needed to maintain
compatibility with a small range of glibc versions.

This removes it and replaces it with a much simpler hack: a config
option to disable the 32-bit vDSO by default.

This also changes the default value of CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO to n --
users configuring kernels from scratch almost certainly want that
choice.

dfb09f9b7a x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties on AMD family 15h
This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its
shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive
number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the
cores of a compute module.

This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache
lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their
virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation.

This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12]
slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus
forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library
across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases.

It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with
which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86
individually, or both, or be completely disabled.

This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families
and/or vendors unaffected.

a6f05a6a0a x86-64: make compat_start_thread() match start_thread()
For no real good reason, compat_start_thread() was embedded inline in

Move compat_start_thread() to process_64.c, remove gratuitious
differences, and fix a few items which mostly look like bit rot.

In particular, compat_start_thread() didn't do free_thread_xstate(),
which means it was hanging on to the xstate store area even when it
was not needed.  It was also not setting old_rsp, but it looks like
that generally shouldn't matter for a 32-bit process.

Note: compat_start_thread *has* to be a macro, since it is tested with
start_thread_ia32() as the out of line function name.

80938332d8 x86: Increase MIN_GAP to include randomized stack
Currently we are not including randomized stack size when calculating
mmap_base address in arch_pick_mmap_layout for topdown case. This might
cause that mmap_base starts in the stack reserved area because stack is
randomized by 1GB for 64b (8MB for 32b) and the minimum gap is 128MB.

If the stack really grows down to mmap_base then we can get silent mmap
region overwrite by the stack values.

Let's include maximum stack randomization size into MIN_GAP which is
used as the low bound for the gap in mmap.

ccbeed3a05 x86: make lazy %gs optional on x86_32
Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight
        overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit

On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily.  pt_regs
doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary.
In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs
handling optional by doing the followings.

* Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs.

* Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless
  LAZY_GS.  Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL
  even when LAZY_GS.  However, it adds no overhead to common exit path
  and simplifies entry path with error code.

* Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add
  lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS.  The
  lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily.

* Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly.

xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

d9a89a26e0 x86: add %gs accessors for x86_32
Impact: cleanup

On x86_32, %gs is handled lazily.  It's not saved and restored on
kernel entry/exit but only when necessary which usually is during task
switch but there are few other places.  Currently, it's done by
calling savesegment() and loadsegment() explicitly.  Define
get_user_gs(), set_user_gs() and task_user_gs() and use them instead.

While at it, clean up register access macros in signal.c.

This cleans up code a bit and will help future changes.

fc5243d98a [S390] arch_setup_additional_pages arguments
arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary
format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable
stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could
be removed without replacement.

What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process
uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything
from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for
statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not
to map the vdso.

1965aae3c9 x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guards
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:

a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
