<id>urn:sha1:372bde097fd51e233255d3e6897f7a521ce84916</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 7ae1f5508d9a33fd58ed3059bd2d569961e3b8bd upstream.

The exception handler is broken for unaligned memory acceses with fldw
and fstw instructions, because it trashes or uses randomly some other
floating point register than the one specified in the instruction word
on loads and stores.

The instruction "fldw 0(addr),%fr22L" (and the other fldw/fstw
instructions) encode the target register (%fr22) in the rightmost 5 bits
of the instruction word. The 7th rightmost bit of the instruction word
defines if the left or right half of %fr22 should be used.

While processing unaligned address accesses, the FR3() define is used to
extract the offset into the local floating-point register set.  But the
calculation in FR3() was buggy, so that for example instead of %fr22,
register %fr12 [((22 * 2) &amp; 0x1f) = 12] was used.

This bug has been since forever in the parisc kernel and I wonder why it
wasn't detected earlier. Interestingly I noticed this bug just because
the libime debian package failed to build on *native* hardware, while it
successfully built in qemu.

This patch corrects the bitshift and masking calculation in FR3().

commit a97279836867b1cb50a3d4f0b1bf60e0abe6d46c upstream.

Fix 3 bugs:

a) emulate_stw() doesn't return the error code value, so faulting
instructions are not reported and aborted.

b) Tell emulate_ldw() to handle fldw_l as floating point instruction

c) Tell emulate_ldw() to handle ldw_m as integer instruction

<title>parisc/unaligned: Fix fldd and fstd unaligned handlers on 32-bit kernel</title>
<updated>2022-03-02T10:38:09Z</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:c99c850fac45d88fbc802d5134dc9e82f97b2184</id>
<content type='text'>
commit dd2288f4a020d693360e3e8d72f8b9d9c25f5ef6 upstream.

Usually the kernel provides fixup routines to emulate the fldd and fstd
floating-point instructions if they load or store 8-byte from/to a not
natuarally aligned memory location.

On a 32-bit kernel I noticed that those unaligned handlers didn't worked and
instead the application got a SEGV.
While checking the code I found two problems:

First, the OPCODE_FLDD_L and OPCODE_FSTD_L cases were ifdef'ed out by the
CONFIG_PA20 option, and as such those weren't built on a pure 32-bit kernel.
This is now fixed by moving the CONFIG_PA20 #ifdef to prevent the compilation
of OPCODE_LDD_L and OPCODE_FSTD_L only, and handling the fldd and fstd
instructions.

The second problem are two bugs in the 32-bit inline assembly code, where the
wrong registers where used. The calculation of the natural alignment used %2
(vall) instead of %3 (ior), and the first word was stored back to address %1
(valh) instead of %3 (ior).

<title>signal/parisc: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate</title>

<content type='text'>
Filling in struct siginfo before calling force_sig_info a tedious and
error prone process, where once in a great while the wrong fields
are filled out, and siginfo has been inconsistently cleared.

Simplify this process by using the helper force_sig_fault.  Which
takes as a parameters all of the information it needs, ensures
all of the fiddly bits of filling in struct siginfo are done properly
and then calls force_sig_info.

In short about a 5 line reduction in code for every time force_sig_info
is called, which makes the calling function clearer.

<title>signal: Ensure every siginfo we send has all bits initialized</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3eb0f5193b497083391aa05d35210d5645211eef</id>
<content type='text'>
Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly
initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions.

Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct
siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when
initializing a structure.

The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit
was moved from the helper user_single_step_siginfo into
tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local
variable siginfo gets fully initialized.

In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it
clear that siginfo siginfo is not used on other paths in the function
in which it is declared.

Instances of using memset to initialize siginfo have been replaced
with calls clear_siginfo for clarity.

We are going to split &lt;linux/sched/debug.h&gt; out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/debug.h&gt; file that just
maps to &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

  [&lt;0000000040205024&gt;] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14

This means the userspace program clock_adjtime called the clock_adjtime()
syscall and then crashed inside the compat_get_timex() function.
Syscalls should never crash programs, but instead return EFAULT.

The IIR register contains the executed instruction, which disassebles
into "ldw 0(sr3,r5),r9".
This load-word instruction is part of __get_user() which tried to read the word
at %r5/IOR (0xfa6f7fff). This means the unaligned handler jumped in.  The
unaligned handler is able to emulate all ldw instructions, but it fails if it
fails to read the source e.g. because of page fault.

The following program reproduces the problem:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
#include &lt;sys/syscall.h&gt;
#include &lt;sys/mman.h&gt;

int main(void) {
        /* allocate 8k */
        char *ptr = mmap(NULL, 2*4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
        /* free second half (upper 4k) and make it invalid. */
        munmap(ptr+4096, 4096);
        /* syscall where first int is unaligned and clobbers into invalid memory region */
        /* syscall should return EFAULT */
        return syscall(__NR_clock_adjtime, 0, ptr+4095);
}

To fix this issue we simply need to check if the faulting instruction address
is in the exception fixup table when the unaligned handler failed. If it
is, call the fixup routine instead of crashing.

While looking at the unaligned handler I found another issue as well: The
target register should not be modified if the handler was unsuccessful.
