[ Upstream commit 2813926261e436d33bc74486b51cce60b76edf78 ]

Doug Anderson observed that ChromeOS crashes are being reported which
include failing allocations of order 7 during core dumps due to ptrace
allocating storage for regsets:

  chrome: page allocation failure: order:7,
          mode:0x40dc0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_ZERO),
          nodemask=(null),cpuset=urgent,mems_allowed=0
   ...
  regset_get_alloc+0x1c/0x28
  elf_core_dump+0x3d8/0xd8c
  do_coredump+0xeb8/0x1378

with further investigation showing that this is:

   [   66.957385] DOUG: Allocating 279584 bytes

which is the maximum size of the SVE regset. As Doug observes it is not
entirely surprising that such a large allocation of contiguous memory might
fail on a long running system.

The SVE regset is currently sized to hold SVE registers with a VQ of
SVE_VQ_MAX which is 512, substantially more than the architectural maximum
of 16 which we might see even in a system emulating the limits of the
architecture. Since we don't expose the size we tell the regset core
externally let's define ARCH_SVE_VQ_MAX with the actual architectural
maximum and use that for the regset, we'll still overallocate most of the
time but much less so which will be helpful even if the core is fixed to
not require contiguous allocations.

Specify ARCH_SVE_VQ_MAX in terms of the maximum value that can be written
into ZCR_ELx.LEN (where this is set in the hardware). For consistency
update the maximum SME vector length to be specified in the same style
while we are at it.

We could also teach the ptrace core about runtime discoverable regset sizes
but that would be a more invasive change and this is being observed in
practical systems.

[ Upstream commit 9533864816fb4a6207c63b7a98396351ce1a9fae ]

The fields in SMCR_EL1 and SMPRI_EL1 reset to an architecturally UNKNOWN
value. Since we do not otherwise manage the traps configured in this
register at runtime we need to reconfigure them after a suspend in case
nothing else was kind enough to preserve them for us.

The vector length will be restored as part of restoring the SME state for
the next SME using task.

<title>work around gcc bugs with 'asm goto' with outputs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1bfa8bc86cc788c9c30430f52011c06f11abccd0</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4356e9f841f7fbb945521cef3577ba394c65f3fc upstream.

We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").

Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.

Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround.  But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.

It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:

 (a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
     has outputs:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420

     which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.

 (b) Internal compiler errors:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422

     which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
     barrier, as in the original workaround.

but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.

but the same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

[ Upstream commit 64bac5ea17d527872121adddfee869c7a0618f8f ]

The prototype was hidden in an #ifdef on x86, which causes a warning:

kernel/irq_work.c:72:13: error: no previous prototype for 'arch_irq_work_raise' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Some architectures have a working prototype, while others don't.
Fix this by providing it in only one place that is always visible.

<title>posix-timers: Get rid of [COMPAT_]SYS_NI() uses</title>

Only the posix timer system calls use this (when the posix timer support
is disabled, which does not actually happen in any normal case), because
they had debug code to print out a warning about missing system calls.

Get rid of that special case, and just use the standard COND_SYSCALL
interface that creates weak system call stubs that return -ENOSYS for
when the system call does not exist.

This fixes a kCFI issue with the SYS_NI() hackery:

  CFI failure at int80_emulation+0x67/0xb0 (target: sys_ni_posix_timers+0x0/0x70; expected type: 0xb02b34d9)

<title>arm64: mm: Always make sw-dirty PTEs hw-dirty in pte_modify</title>
<updated>2023-12-12T16:25:26Z</updated>
<author>
<name>James Houghton</name>
</author>
<published>2023-12-04T17:26:46Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=3c0696076aad60a2f04c019761921954579e1b0e'/>
<id>urn:sha1:3c0696076aad60a2f04c019761921954579e1b0e</id>
<content type='text'>
It is currently possible for a userspace application to enter an
infinite page fault loop when using HugeTLB pages implemented with
contiguous PTEs when HAFDBS is not available. This happens because:

1. The kernel may sometimes write PTEs that are sw-dirty but hw-clean
   (PTE_DIRTY | PTE_RDONLY | PTE_WRITE).

2. If, during a write, the CPU uses a sw-dirty, hw-clean PTE in handling
   the memory access on a system without HAFDBS, we will get a page
   fault.

3. HugeTLB will check if it needs to update the dirty bits on the PTE.
   For contiguous PTEs, it will check to see if the pgprot bits need
   updating. In this case, HugeTLB wants to write a sequence of
   sw-dirty, hw-dirty PTEs, but it finds that all the PTEs it is about
   to overwrite are all pte_dirty() (pte_sw_dirty() =&gt; pte_dirty()),
   so it thinks no update is necessary.

We can get the kernel to write a sw-dirty, hw-clean PTE with the
following steps (showing the relevant VMA flags and pgprot bits):

i.   Create a valid, writable contiguous PTE.
       VMA vmflags:     VM_SHARED | VM_READ | VM_WRITE
       VMA pgprot bits: PTE_RDONLY | PTE_WRITE
       PTE pgprot bits: PTE_DIRTY | PTE_WRITE

ii.  mprotect the VMA to PROT_NONE.
       VMA vmflags:     VM_SHARED
       VMA pgprot bits: PTE_RDONLY
       PTE pgprot bits: PTE_DIRTY | PTE_RDONLY

iii. mprotect the VMA back to PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE.
       VMA vmflags:     VM_SHARED | VM_READ | VM_WRITE
       VMA pgprot bits: PTE_RDONLY | PTE_WRITE
       PTE pgprot bits: PTE_DIRTY | PTE_WRITE | PTE_RDONLY

Make it impossible to create a writeable sw-dirty, hw-clean PTE with
pte_modify(). Such a PTE should be impossible to create, and there may
be places that assume that pte_dirty() implies pte_hw_dirty().

<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_RODATA_FULL_DEFAULT_ENABLED=y, passing "rodata=on" on the
kernel command-line (rather than "rodata=full") should turn off the
"full" behaviour, leaving writable linear aliases of read-only kernel
memory. Unfortunately, the option has no effect in this situation and
the only way to disable the "rodata=full" behaviour is to disable rodata
protection entirely by passing "rodata=off".

Fix this by parsing the "on" and "off" options in the arch code,
additionally enforcing that 'rodata_full' cannot be set without also
setting 'rodata_enabled', allowing us to simplify a couple of checks
in the process.

Pull probes fixes from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - Documentation update: Add a note about argument and return value
   fetching is the best effort because it depends on the type.

 - objpool: Fix to make internal global variables static in
   test_objpool.c.

 - kprobes: Unify kprobes_exceptions_nofify() prototypes. There are the
   same prototypes in asm/kprobes.h for some architectures, but some of
   them are missing the prototype and it causes a warning. So move the
   prototype into linux/kprobes.h.

 - tracing: Fix to check the tracepoint event and return event at
   parsing stage. The tracepoint event doesn't support %return but if
   $retval exists, it will be converted to %return silently. This finds
   that case and rejects it.

 - tracing: Fix the order of the descriptions about the parameters of
   __kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start() to be consistent with the argument
   list of the function.
