commit 89aba4c26fae4e459f755a18912845c348ee48f3 upstream.

Add missing earlyclobber annotation to size, to, and tmp2 operands of the
__clear_user() inline assembly since they are modified or written to before
the last usage of all input operands. This can lead to incorrect register
allocation for the inline assembly.

Fix two problems found in the strrchr() implementation for s390
architectures: evaluate empty strings (return the string address instead of
NULL, if '\0' is passed as second argument); evaluate the first character
of non-empty strings (the current implementation stops at the second).

<title>s390/mm: fix page table upgrade vs 2ndary address mode accesses</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=215d1f3928713d6eaec67244bcda72105b898000'/>
<id>urn:sha1:215d1f3928713d6eaec67244bcda72105b898000</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 316ec154810960052d4586b634156c54d0778f74 upstream.

A page table upgrade in a kernel section that uses secondary address
mode will mess up the kernel instructions as follows:

Consider the following scenario: two threads are sharing memory.
On CPU1 thread 1 does e.g. strnlen_user().  That gets to
        old_fs = enable_sacf_uaccess();
        len = strnlen_user_srst(src, size);
and
                "   la    %2,0(%1)\n"
                "   la    %3,0(%0,%1)\n"
                "   slgr  %0,%0\n"
                "   sacf  256\n"
                "0: srst  %3,%2\n"
in strnlen_user_srst().  At that point we are in secondary space mode,
control register 1 points to kernel page table and instruction fetching
happens via c1, rather than usual c13.  Interrupts are not disabled, for
obvious reasons.

On CPU2 thread 2 does MAP_FIXED mmap(), forcing the upgrade of page table
from 3-level to e.g. 4-level one.  We'd allocated new top-level table,
set it up and now we hit this:
                notify = 1;
                spin_unlock_bh(&amp;mm-&gt;page_table_lock);
        }
        if (notify)
                on_each_cpu(__crst_table_upgrade, mm, 0);
OK, we need to actually change over to use of new page table and we
need that to happen in all threads that are currently running.  Which
happens to include the thread 1.  IPI is delivered and we have
static void __crst_table_upgrade(void *arg)
{
        struct mm_struct *mm = arg;

        if (current-&gt;active_mm == mm)
                set_user_asce(mm);
        __tlb_flush_local();
}
run on CPU1.  That does
static inline void set_user_asce(struct mm_struct *mm)
{
        S390_lowcore.user_asce = mm-&gt;context.asce;
OK, user page table address updated...
        __ctl_load(S390_lowcore.user_asce, 1, 1);
... and control register 1 set to it.
        clear_cpu_flag(CIF_ASCE_PRIMARY);
}

IPI is run in home space mode, so it's fine - insns are fetched
using c13, which always points to kernel page table.  But as soon
as we return from the interrupt, previous PSW is restored, putting
CPU1 back into secondary space mode, at which point we no longer
get the kernel instructions from the kernel mapping.

The fix is to only fixup the control registers that are currently in use
for user processes during the page table update.  We must also disable
interrupts in enable_sacf_uaccess to synchronize the cr and
thread.mm_segment updates against the on_each-cpu.

[ Upstream commit b6cbe3e8bdff6f21f1b58b08a55f479cdcf98282 ]

Kasan instrumentation adds "store" check for variables marked as
modified by inline assembly. With user pointers containing addresses
from another address space this produces false positives.

static inline unsigned long clear_user_xc(void __user *to, ...)
{
	asm volatile(
	...
	: "+a" (to) ...

User space access functions are wrapped by manually instrumented
functions in kasan common code, which should be sufficient to catch
errors. So, we just disable uaccess.o instrumentation altogether.

Introduce compile time check for files which should avoid using .bss
section, because of the following reasons:
- .bss section has not been zeroed yet,
- initrd has not been moved to a safe location and could be overlapping
with .bss section.

With CONFIG_PREEMPT=y there is a possible race in disable_sacf_uaccess.

The new set_fs value needs to be stored the the task structure first,
the control register update needs to be second. Otherwise a preemptive
schedule may interrupt the code right after the control register update
has been done and the next time the task is scheduled we get an incorrect
value in the control register due to the old set_fs setting.

<content type='text'>
The vdso code for the getcpu() and the clock_gettime() call use the access
register mode to access the per-CPU vdso data page with the current code.

An alternative to the complicated AR mode is to use the secondary space
mode. This makes the vdso faster and quite a bit simpler. The downside is
that the uaccess code has to be changed quite a bit.

Which instructions are used depends on the machine and what kind of uaccess
operation is requested. The instruction dictates which ASCE value needs
to be loaded into %cr1 and %cr7.

The different cases:

* User copy with MVCOS for z10 and newer machines
  The MVCOS instruction can copy between the primary space (aka user) and
  the home space (aka kernel) directly. For set_fs(KERNEL_DS) the kernel
  ASCE is loaded into %cr1. For set_fs(USER_DS) the user space is already
  loaded in %cr1.

* User copy with MVCP/MVCS for older machines
  To be able to execute the MVCP/MVCS instructions the kernel needs to
  switch to primary mode. The control register %cr1 has to be set to the
  kernel ASCE and %cr7 to either the kernel ASCE or the user ASCE dependent
  on set_fs(KERNEL_DS) vs set_fs(USER_DS).

* Data access in the user address space for strnlen / futex
  To use "normal" instruction with data from the user address space the
  secondary space mode is used. The kernel needs to switch to primary mode,
  %cr1 has to contain the kernel ASCE and %cr7 either the user ASCE or the
  kernel ASCE, dependent on set_fs.

To load a new value into %cr1 or %cr7 is an expensive operation, the kernel
tries to be lazy about it. E.g. for multiple user copies in a row with
MVCP/MVCS the replacement of the vdso ASCE in %cr7 with the user ASCE is
done only once. On return to user space a CPU bit is checked that loads the
vdso ASCE again.

To enable and disable the data access via the secondary space two new
functions are added, enable_sacf_uaccess and disable_sacf_uaccess. The fact
that a context is in secondary space uaccess mode is stored in the
mm_segment_t value for the task. The code of an interrupt may use set_fs
as long as it returns to the previous state it got with get_fs with another
call to set_fs. The code in finish_arch_post_lock_switch simply has to do a
set_fs with the current mm_segment_t value for the task.

For CPUs with MVCOS:

CPU running in                        | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE |
--------------------------------------|-----------|-----------|
user space                            |  user     |  vdso     |
kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode          |  user     |  vdso     |
kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode, lazy    |  user     |  user     |
kernel, USER_DS, sacf-mode            |  kernel   |  user     |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode        |  kernel   |  vdso     |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode, lazy  |  kernel   |  kernel   |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, sacf-mode          |  kernel   |  kernel   |

For CPUs without MVCOS:

CPU running in                        | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE |
--------------------------------------|-----------|-----------|
user space                            |  user     |  vdso     |
kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode          |  user     |  vdso     |
kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode lazy     |  kernel   |  user     |
kernel, USER_DS, sacf-mode            |  kernel   |  user     |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode        |  kernel   |  vdso     |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode, lazy  |  kernel   |  kernel   |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, sacf-mode          |  kernel   |  kernel   |

The lines with "lazy" refer to the state after a copy via the secondary
space with a delayed reload of %cr1 and %cr7.

There are three hardware address spaces that can cause a DAT exception,
primary, secondary and home space. The exception can be related to
four different fault types: user space fault, vdso fault, kernel fault,
and the gmap faults.

Dependent on the set_fs state and normal vs. sacf mode there are a number
of fault combinations:

1) user address space fault via the primary ASCE
2) gmap address space fault via the primary ASCE
3) kernel address space fault via the primary ASCE for machines with
   MVCOS and set_fs(KERNEL_DS)
4) vdso address space faults via the secondary ASCE with an invalid
   address while running in secondary space in problem state
5) user address space fault via the secondary ASCE for user-copy
   based on the secondary space mode, e.g. futex_ops or strnlen_user
6) kernel address space fault via the secondary ASCE for user-copy
   with secondary space mode with set_fs(KERNEL_DS)
7) kernel address space fault via the primary ASCE for user-copy
   with secondary space mode with set_fs(USER_DS) on machines without
   MVCOS.
8) kernel address space fault via the home space ASCE

Replace user_space_fault() with a new function get_fault_type() that
can distinguish all four different fault types.

With these changes the futex atomic ops from the kernel and the
strnlen_user will get a little bit slower, as well as the old style
uaccess with MVCP/MVCS. All user accesses based on MVCOS will be as
fast as before. On the positive side, the user space vdso code is a
lot faster and Linux ceases to use the complicated AR mode.
