<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit f44e07a8afdd713ddc1a8832c39372fe5dd86895 ]

The size of the TOD programmable field was incorrectly increased from
four to eight bytes with commit 1a2c5840acf9 ("s390/dump: cleanup CPU
save area handling").
This leads to an elf notes section NT_S390_TODPREG which has a size of
eight instead of four bytes in case of kdump, however even worse is
that the contents is incorrect: it is supposed to contain only the
contents of the TOD programmable field, but in fact contains a mix of
the TOD programmable field (32 bit upper bits) and parts of the CPU
timer register (lower 32 bits).

Fix this by simply changing the size of the todpreg field within the
save area structure. This will implicitly also fix the size of the
corresponding elf notes sections.

This also gets rid of this compile time warning:

in function ‘fortify_memcpy_chk’,
    inlined from ‘save_area_add_regs’ at arch/s390/kernel/crash_dump.c:99:2:
./include/linux/fortify-string.h:413:25: error: call to ‘__read_overflow2_field’
   declared with attribute warning: detected read beyond size of field
   (2nd parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning]

As result of commit 915fea04f932 ("s390/smp: enable DAT before
CPU restart callback is called") the low-address protection bit
gets mistakenly unset in control register 0 save area of the
absolute zero memory. That area is used when manual PSW restart
happened to hit an offline CPU. In this case the low-address
protection for that CPU will be dropped.

Crash dump always starts on CPU0. In case CPU0 is offline the
prefix page is not installed and the absolute zero lowcore is
used. However, struct lowcore::mcesad is never assigned and
stays zero. That leads to __machine_kdump() -&gt; save_vx_regs()
call silently stores vector registers to the absolute lowcore
at 0x11b0 offset.

<title>s390: fix nospec table alignments</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=c9305b6c1f52060377c72aebe3a701389e9f3172'/>
<id>urn:sha1:c9305b6c1f52060377c72aebe3a701389e9f3172</id>
<content type='text'>
Add proper alignment for .nospec_call_table and .nospec_return_table in
vmlinux.

[hca@linux.ibm.com]: The problem with the missing alignment of the nospec
tables exist since a long time, however only since commit e6ed91fd0768
("s390/alternatives: remove padding generation code") and with
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n the kernel may also crash at boot time.

The above named commit reduced the size of struct alt_instr by one byte,
so its new size is 11 bytes. Therefore depending on the number of cpu
alternatives the size of the __alt_instructions array maybe odd, which
again also causes that the addresses of the nospec tables will be odd.

If the address of __nospec_call_start is odd and the kernel is compiled
With CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n the compiler may generate code that loads the
address of __nospec_call_start with a 'larl' instruction.

This will generate incorrect code since the 'larl' instruction only works
with even addresses. In result the members of the nospec tables will be
accessed with an off-by-one offset, which subsequently may lead to
addressing exceptions within __nospec_revert().

<title>s390: fix double free of GS and RI CBs on fork() failure</title>
<updated>2022-08-25T13:12:32Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=13cccafe0edcd03bf1c841de8ab8a1c8e34f77d9'/>
<id>urn:sha1:13cccafe0edcd03bf1c841de8ab8a1c8e34f77d9</id>
<content type='text'>
The pointers for guarded storage and runtime instrumentation control
blocks are stored in the thread_struct of the associated task. These
pointers are initially copied on fork() via arch_dup_task_struct()
and then cleared via copy_thread() before fork() returns. If fork()
happens to fail after the initial task dup and before copy_thread(),
the newly allocated task and associated thread_struct memory are
freed via free_task() -&gt; arch_release_task_struct(). This results in
a double free of the guarded storage and runtime info structs
because the fields in the failed task still refer to memory
associated with the source task.

This problem can manifest as a BUG_ON() in set_freepointer() (with
CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED enabled) or KASAN splat (if enabled)
when running trinity syscall fuzz tests on s390x. To avoid this
problem, clear the associated pointer fields in
arch_dup_task_struct() immediately after the new task is copied.
Note that the RI flag is still cleared in copy_thread() because it
resides in thread stack memory and that is where stack info is
copied.

Pull s390 updates from Alexander Gordeev:

 - Rework copy_oldmem_page() callback to take an iov_iter.

   This includes a few prerequisite updates and fixes to the oldmem
   reading code.

 - Rework cpufeature implementation to allow for various CPU feature
   indications, which is not only limited to hardware capabilities, but
   also allows CPU facilities.

 - Use the cpufeature rework to autoload Ultravisor module when CPU
   facility 158 is available.

 - Add ELF note type for encrypted CPU state of a protected virtual CPU.
   The zgetdump tool from s390-tools package will decrypt the CPU state
   using a Customer Communication Key and overwrite respective notes to
   make the data accessible for crash and other debugging tools.

 - Use vzalloc() instead of vmalloc() + memset() in ChaCha20 crypto
   test.

 - Fix incorrect recovery of kretprobe modified return address in
   stacktrace.

 - Switch the NMI handler to use generic irqentry_nmi_enter() and
   irqentry_nmi_exit() helper functions.

 - Rework the cryptographic Adjunct Processors (AP) pass-through design
   to support dynamic changes to the AP matrix of a running guest as
   well as to implement more of the AP architecture.

 - Minor boot code cleanups.

 - Grammar and typo fixes to hmcdrv and tape drivers.

This introduced vmem_mutex locking from vmem_map_4k_page()
function called from smp_reinit_ipl_cpu() with interrupts
disabled. While it is a pre-SMP early initcall no other CPUs
running in parallel nor other code taking vmem_mutex on this
boot stage - it still needs to be fixed.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "Though there's been a decent amount of RNG-related development during
  this last cycle, not all of it is coming through this tree, as this
  cycle saw a shift toward tackling early boot time seeding issues,
  which took place in other trees as well.

  Here's a summary of the various patches:

   - The CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM .config option and the "nordrand" boot
     option have been removed, as they overlapped with the more widely
     supported and more sensible options, CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU and
     "random.trust_cpu". This change allowed simplifying a bit of arch
     code.

   - x86's RDRAND boot time test has been made a bit more robust, with
     RDRAND disabled if it's clearly producing bogus results. This would
     be a tip.git commit, technically, but I took it through random.git
     to avoid a large merge conflict.

   - The RNG has long since mixed in a timestamp very early in boot, on
     the premise that a computer that does the same things, but does so
     starting at different points in wall time, could be made to still
     produce a different RNG state. Unfortunately, the clock isn't set
     early in boot on all systems, so now we mix in that timestamp when
     the time is actually set.

   - User Mode Linux now uses the host OS's getrandom() syscall to
     generate a bootloader RNG seed and later on treats getrandom() as
     the platform's RDRAND-like faculty.

   - The arch_get_random_{seed_,}_long() family of functions is now
     arch_get_random_{seed_,}_longs(), which enables certain platforms,
     such as s390, to exploit considerable performance advantages from
     requesting multiple CPU random numbers at once, while at the same
     time compiling down to the same code as before on platforms like
     x86.

   - A small cleanup changing a cmpxchg() into a try_cmpxchg(), from
     Uros.

   - A comment spelling fix"
