commit 0d519cadf75184a24313568e7f489a7fc9b1be3b upstream.

Currently, when loading a kernel image via the kexec_file_load() system
call, arm64 can only use the .builtin_trusted_keys keyring to verify
a signature whereas x86 can use three more keyrings i.e.
.secondary_trusted_keys, .machine and .platform keyrings. For example,
one resulting problem is kexec'ing a kernel image  would be rejected
with the error "Lockdown: kexec: kexec of unsigned images is restricted;
see man kernel_lockdown.7".

This patch set enables arm64 to make use of the same keyrings as x86 to
verify the signature kexec'ed kernel image.

[ Upstream commit 506506cad3947b942425b119ffa2b06715d5d804 ]

Commit b20d1ba3cf4b ("arm64: cpufeature: allow for version discrepancy in
PMU implementations") made it possible to run Linux on a machine with PMUs
with different versions without tainting the kernel. The patch relaxed the
restriction only for the ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer field, and missed doing the
same for ID_DFR0_EL1.PerfMon , which also reports the PMU version, but for
the AArch32 state.

For example, with Linux running on two clusters with different PMU
versions, the kernel is tainted when bringing up secondaries with the
following message:

[    0.097027] smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...
[..]
[    0.142805] Detected PIPT I-cache on CPU4
[    0.142805] CPU features: SANITY CHECK: Unexpected variation in SYS_ID_DFR0_EL1. Boot CPU: 0x00000004011088, CPU4: 0x00000005011088
[    0.143555] CPU features: Unsupported CPU feature variation detected.
[    0.143702] GICv3: CPU4: found redistributor 10000 region 0:0x000000002f180000

[    0.144888] CPU4: Booted secondary processor 0x0000010000 [0x410fd0f0]

The boot CPU implements FEAT_PMUv3p1 (ID_DFR0_EL1.PerfMon, bits 27:24, is
0b0100), but CPU4, part of the other cluster, implements FEAT_PMUv3p4
(ID_DFR0_EL1.PerfMon = 0b0101).

Treat the PerfMon field as FTR_NONSTRICT and FTR_EXACT to pass the sanity
check and to match how PMUVer is treated for the 64bit ID register.

[ Upstream commit 44b3834b2eed595af07021b1c64e6f9bc396398b ]

Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A72 have an erratum where an interrupt that
occurs between a pair of AES instructions in aarch32 mode may corrupt
the ELR. The task will subsequently produce the wrong AES result.

The AES instructions are part of the cryptographic extensions, which are
optional. User-space software will detect the support for these
instructions from the hwcaps. If the platform doesn't support these
instructions a software implementation should be used.

Remove the hwcap bits on affected parts to indicate user-space should
not use the AES instructions.

[ Upstream commit 20794545c14692094a882d2221c251c4573e6adf ]

This reverts commit e5b8d9218951e59df986f627ec93569a0d22149b.

Pages mapped in user-space with PROT_MTE have the allocation tags either
zeroed or copied/restored to some user values. In order for the kernel
to access such pages via page_address(), resetting the tag in
page-&gt;flags was necessary. This tag resetting was deferred to
set_pte_at() -&gt; mte_sync_page_tags() but it can race with another CPU
reading the flags (via page_to_virt()):

P0 (mte_sync_page_tags):	P1 (memcpy from virt_to_page):
				  Rflags!=0xff
  Wflags=0xff
  DMB (doesn't help)
  Wtags=0
				  Rtags=0   // fault

Since now the post_alloc_hook() function resets the page-&gt;flags tag when
unpoisoning is skipped for user pages (including the __GFP_ZEROTAGS
case), revert the arm64 commit calling page_kasan_tag_reset().

[ Upstream commit af483947d472eccb79e42059276c4deed76f99a6 ]

emulation_proc_handler() changes table-&gt;data for proc_dointvec_minmax
and can generate the following Oops if called concurrently with itself:

 | Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000010
 | Internal error: Oops: 96000006 [#1] SMP
 | Call trace:
 | update_insn_emulation_mode+0xc0/0x148

 | el0_svc+0x8/0x200

To fix this issue, keep the table-&gt;data as &amp;insn-&gt;current_mode and
use container_of() to retrieve the insn pointer. Another mutex is
used to protect against the current_mode update but not for retrieving
insn_emulation as table-&gt;data is no longer changing.

<title>arm64: set UXN on swapper page tables</title>

[ This issue was fixed upstream by accident in c3cee924bd85 ("arm64:
  head: cover entire kernel image in initial ID map") as part of a
  large refactoring of the arm64 boot flow. This simple fix is therefore
  preferred for -stable backporting ]

On a system that implements FEAT_EPAN, read/write access to the idmap
is denied because UXN is not set on the swapper PTEs. As a result,
idmap_kpti_install_ng_mappings panics the kernel when accessing
__idmap_kpti_flag. Fix it by setting UXN on these PTEs.

<title>vmcore: convert copy_oldmem_page() to take an iov_iter</title>

[ Upstream commit 5d8de293c224896a4da99763fce4f9794308caf4 ]

Patch series "Convert vmcore to use an iov_iter", v5.

For some reason several people have been sending bad patches to fix
compiler warnings in vmcore recently.  Here's how it should be done.
Compile-tested only on x86.  As noted in the first patch, s390 should take
this conversion a bit further, but I'm not inclined to do that work
myself.

This patch (of 3):

Instead of passing in a 'buf' and 'userbuf' argument, pass in an iov_iter.
s390 needs more work to pass the iov_iter down further, or refactor, but
I'd be more comfortable if someone who can test on s390 did that work.

It's more convenient to convert the whole of read_from_oldmem() to take an
iov_iter at the same time, so rename it to read_from_oldmem_iter() and add
a temporary read_from_oldmem() wrapper that creates an iov_iter.

[ Upstream commit a6253579977e4c6f7818eeb05bf2bc65678a7187 ]

Sometimes it is necessary to use a PLT entry to call an ftrace
trampoline. This is handled by ftrace_make_call() and ftrace_make_nop(),
with each having *almost* identical logic, but this is not handled by
ftrace_modify_call() since its introduction in commit:

  3b23e4991fb66f6d ("arm64: implement ftrace with regs")

Due to this, if we ever were to call ftrace_modify_call() for a callsite
which requires a PLT entry for a trampoline, then either:

a) If the old addr requires a trampoline, ftrace_modify_call() will use
   an out-of-range address to generate the 'old' branch instruction.
   This will result in warnings from aarch64_insn_gen_branch_imm() and
   ftrace_modify_code(), and no instructions will be modified. As
   ftrace_modify_call() will return an error, this will result in
   subsequent internal ftrace errors.

b) If the old addr does not require a trampoline, but the new addr does,
   ftrace_modify_call() will use an out-of-range address to generate the
   'new' branch instruction. This will result in warnings from
   aarch64_insn_gen_branch_imm(), and ftrace_modify_code() will replace
   the 'old' branch with a BRK. This will result in a kernel panic when
   this BRK is later executed.

Practically speaking, case (a) is vastly more likely than case (b), and
typically this will result in internal ftrace errors that don't
necessarily affect the rest of the system. This can be demonstrated with
an out-of-tree test module which triggers ftrace_modify_call(), e.g.

We can solve this by consistently determining whether to use a PLT entry
for an address.

Note that since (the earlier) commit:

  f1a54ae9af0da4d7 ("arm64: module/ftrace: intialize PLT at load time")

... we can consistently determine the PLT address that a given callsite
will use, and therefore ftrace_make_nop() does not need to skip
validation when a PLT is in use.

This patch factors the existing logic out of ftrace_make_call() and
ftrace_make_nop() into a common ftrace_find_callable_addr() helper
function, which is used by ftrace_make_call(), ftrace_make_nop(), and
ftrace_modify_call(). In ftrace_make_nop() the patching is consistently
validated by ftrace_modify_code() as we can always determine what the
old instruction should have been.

[ Upstream commit 3eefdf9d1e406f3da47470b2854347009ffcb6fa ]

The branch range checks in ftrace_make_call() and ftrace_make_nop() are
incorrect, erroneously permitting a forwards branch of 128M and
erroneously rejecting a backwards branch of 128M.

This is because both functions calculate the offset backwards,
calculating the offset *from* the target *to* the branch, rather than
the other way around as the later comparisons expect.

If an out-of-range branch were erroeously permitted, this would later be
rejected by aarch64_insn_gen_branch_imm() as branch_imm_common() checks
the bounds correctly, resulting in warnings and the placement of a BRK
instruction. Note that this can only happen for a forwards branch of
exactly 128M, and so the caller would need to be exactly 128M bytes
below the relevant ftrace trampoline.

If an in-range branch were erroeously rejected, then:

* For modules when CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS=y, this would result in the
  use of a PLT entry, which is benign.

  Note that this is the common case, as this is selected by
  CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE (and therefore RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL),
  which distributions typically seelct. This is also selected by
  CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419.

* For modules when CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS=n, this would result in
  internal ftrace failures.

* For core kernel text, this would result in internal ftrace failues.

  Note that for this to happen, the kernel text would need to be at
  least 128M bytes in size, and typical configurations are smaller tha
  this.

Fix this by calculating the offset *from* the branch *to* the target in
both functions.

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

[ Upstream commit 78ed93d72ded679e3caf0758357209887bda885f ]

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. ]
