<title>signal: Deliver SIGTRAP on perf event asynchronously if blocked</title>

<id>urn:sha1:78ed93d72ded679e3caf0758357209887bda885f</id>
<content type='text'>
With SIGTRAP on perf events, we have encountered termination of
processes due to user space attempting to block delivery of SIGTRAP.
Consider this case:

    &lt;set up SIGTRAP on a perf event&gt;
    ...
    sigset_t s;
    sigemptyset(&amp;s);
    sigaddset(&amp;s, SIGTRAP | &lt;and others&gt;);
    sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &amp;s, ...);
    ...
    &lt;perf event triggers&gt;

When the perf event triggers, while SIGTRAP is blocked, force_sig_perf()
will force the signal, but revert back to the default handler, thus
terminating the task.

This makes sense for error conditions, but not so much for explicitly
requested monitoring. However, the expectation is still that signals
generated by perf events are synchronous, which will no longer be the
case if the signal is blocked and delivered later.

To give user space the ability to clearly distinguish synchronous from
asynchronous signals, introduce siginfo_t::si_perf_flags and
TRAP_PERF_FLAG_ASYNC (opted for flags in case more binary information is
required in future).

The resolution to the problem is then to (a) no longer force the signal
(avoiding the terminations), but (b) tell user space via si_perf_flags
if the signal was synchronous or not, so that such signals can be
handled differently (e.g. let user space decide to ignore or consider
the data imprecise).

The alternative of making the kernel ignore SIGTRAP on perf events if
the signal is blocked may work for some usecases, but likely causes
issues in others that then have to revert back to interception of
sigprocmask() (which we want to avoid). [ A concrete example: when using
breakpoint perf events to track data-flow, in a region of code where
signals are blocked, data-flow can no longer be tracked accurately.
When a relevant asynchronous signal is received after unblocking the
signal, the data-flow tracking logic needs to know its state is
imprecise. ]

Move set_notify_resume and tracehook_notify_resume into resume_user_mode.h.
While doing that rename tracehook_notify_resume to resume_user_mode_work.

Update all of the places that included tracehook.h for these functions to
include resume_user_mode.h instead.

Update all of the callers of tracehook_notify_resume to call
resume_user_mode_work.

Some thread flags can be set remotely, and so even when IRQs are disabled,
the flags can change under our feet. Generally this is unlikely to cause a
problem in practice, but it is somewhat unsound, and KCSAN will
legitimately warn that there is a data race.

To avoid such issues, a snapshot of the flags has to be taken prior to
using them. Some places already use READ_ONCE() for that, others do not.

Convert them all to the new flag accessor helpers.

<title>entry: rseq: Call rseq_handle_notify_resume() in tracehook_notify_resume()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=a68de80f61f6af397bc06fb391ff2e571c9c4d80'/>
<id>urn:sha1:a68de80f61f6af397bc06fb391ff2e571c9c4d80</id>
<content type='text'>
Invoke rseq_handle_notify_resume() from tracehook_notify_resume() now
that the two function are always called back-to-back by architectures
that have rseq.  The rseq helper is stubbed out for architectures that
don't support rseq, i.e. this is a nop across the board.

Note, tracehook_notify_resume() is horribly named and arguably does not
belong in tracehook.h as literally every line of code in it has nothing
to do with tracing.  But, that's been true since commit a42c6ded827d
("move key_repace_session_keyring() into tracehook_notify_resume()")
first usurped tracehook_notify_resume() back in 2012.  Punt cleaning that
mess up to future patches.

No functional change intended.

     based) SoCs.

   - The ixp4xx platform (based on Intel XScale) is finally converted to
     device tree, and all the old board files are getting removed now.

   - The Cirrus Logic EP93xx platform loses support for the old
     MaverickCrunch FPU. Support for compiling user space applications
     was already removed in gcc-4.9, and the kernel support for old
     applications could not be built with clang ias. After confirming
     that there are no remaining users, removing this from the kernel
     seemed better than adding support for unused features to clang.

There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so just remove it
along with all associated code that operates on
thread_info-&gt;addr_limit.

There are still further optimizations that can be done:

- In get_user(), the address check could be moved entirely
  into the out of line code, rather than passing a constant
  as an argument,

- I assume the DACR handling can be simplified as we now
  only change it during user access when CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN
  is set, but not during set_fs().

The MaverickCrunch support for ep93xx never made it into glibc and
was removed from gcc in its 4.8 release in 2012. It is now one of
the last parts of arch/arm/ that fails to build with the clang
integrated assembler, which is unlikely to ever want to support it.

The two alternatives are to force the use of binutils/gas when
building the crunch support, or to remove it entirely.

According to Hartley Sweeten:

 "Martin Guy did a lot of work trying to get the maverick crunch working
  but I was never able to successfully use it for anything. It "kind"
  of works but depending on the EP93xx silicon revision there are still
  a number of hardware bugs that either give imprecise or garbage results.

  I have no problem with removing the kernel support for the maverick
  crunch."

Unless someone else comes up with a good reason to keep it around,
remove it now. This touches mostly the ep93xx platform, but removes
a bit of code from ARM common ptrace and signal frame handling as well.

If there are remaining users of MaverickCrunch, they can use LTS
kernels for at least another five years before kernel support ends.

Update the static assertions about siginfo_t to also describe
it's alignment and size.

While investigating if it was possible to add a 64bit field into
siginfo_t[1] it became apparent that the alignment of siginfo_t
is as much a part of the ABI as the size of the structure.

If the alignment changes siginfo_t when embedded in another structure
can move to a different offset.  Which is not acceptable from an ABI
structure.

So document that fact and add static assertions to notify developers
if they change change the alignment by accident.
