[ Upstream commit cfdc3170d214046b9509183fe9b9544dc644d40b ]

It is important to clear the hw-&gt;state value for non-stopped events
when they are added into the PMU.  Otherwise when the event is
scheduled out, we won't read the counter because HES_UPTODATE is still
set.  This breaks 'perf stat' and similar use cases, causing all the
events to show zero.

This worked for multi-pcr because we make explicit sparc_pmu_start()
calls in calculate_multiple_pcrs().  calculate_single_pcr() doesn't do
this because the idea there is to accumulate all of the counter
settings into the single pcr value.  So we have to add explicit
hw-&gt;state handling there.

Like x86, we use the PERF_HES_ARCH bit to track truly stopped events
so that we don't accidently start them on a reload.

Related to all of this, sparc_pmu_start() is missing a userpage update
so add it.

Holding uts_sem as a writer while accessing userspace memory allows a
namespace admin to stall all processes that attempt to take uts_sem.
Instead, move data through stack buffers and don't access userspace memory
while uts_sem is held.

[ Upstream commit 6c95483b768c62f8ee933ae08a1bdbcb78b5410f ]

Orabug: 20902628

When an ldc control-only packet is received during data exchange in
read_nonraw(), a new rx head is calculated but the rx queue head is not
actually advanced (rx_set_head() is not called) and a branch is taken to
'no_data' at which point two things can happen depending on the value
of the newly calculated rx head and the current rx tail:

- If the rx queue is determined to be not empty, then the wrong packet
  is picked up.

- If the rx queue is determined to be empty, then a read error (EAGAIN)
  is eventually returned since it is falsely assumed that more data was
  expected.

The fix is to update the rx head and return in case of a control only
packet during data exchange.

<title>mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d4712eb79b17d85c9e354efa2d3156ce50736128</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

then some of the strings will overflow.  I don't know if that's possible
but it seems simple enough to make the buffers slightly larger.

[ Upstream commit 7cafc0b8bf130f038b0ec2dcdd6a9de6dc59b65a ]

We must handle data access exception as well as memory address unaligned
exceptions from return from trap window fill faults, not just normal
TLB misses.

Otherwise we can get an OOPS that looks like this:

The window trap handlers are slightly clever, the trap table entries for them are
composed of two pieces of code.  First comes the code that actually performs
the window fill or spill trap handling, and then there are three instructions at
the end which are for exception processing.

The userland register window fill handler is:

	add	%sp, STACK_BIAS + 0x00, %g1;		\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g0] ASI, %l0;			\
	mov	0x08, %g2;				\
	mov	0x10, %g3;				\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g2] ASI, %l1;			\
	mov	0x18, %g5;				\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g3] ASI, %l2;			\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g5] ASI, %l3;			\
	add	%g1, 0x20, %g1;				\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g0] ASI, %l4;			\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g2] ASI, %l5;			\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g3] ASI, %l6;			\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g5] ASI, %l7;			\
	add	%g1, 0x20, %g1;				\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g0] ASI, %i0;			\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g2] ASI, %i1;			\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g3] ASI, %i2;			\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g5] ASI, %i3;			\
	add	%g1, 0x20, %g1;				\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g0] ASI, %i4;			\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g2] ASI, %i5;			\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g3] ASI, %i6;			\
	ldxa	[%g1 + %g5] ASI, %i7;			\
	restored;					\
	retry; nop; nop; nop; nop;			\
	b,a,pt	%xcc, fill_fixup_dax;			\
	b,a,pt	%xcc, fill_fixup_mna;			\
	b,a,pt	%xcc, fill_fixup;

And the way this works is that if any of those memory accesses
generate an exception, the exception handler can revector to one of
those final three branch instructions depending upon which kind of
exception the memory access took.  In this way, the fault handler
doesn't have to know if it was a spill or a fill that it's handling
the fault for.  It just always branches to the last instruction in
the parent trap's handler.

For example, for a regular fault, the code goes:

winfix_trampoline:
	rdpr	%tpc, %g3
	or	%g3, 0x7c, %g3
	wrpr	%g3, %tnpc
	done

All window trap handlers are 0x80 aligned, so if we "or" 0x7c into the
trap time program counter, we'll get that final instruction in the
trap handler.

On return from trap, we have to pull the register window in but we do
this by hand instead of just executing a "restore" instruction for
several reasons.  The largest being that from Niagara and onward we
simply don't have enough levels in the trap stack to fully resolve all
possible exception cases of a window fault when we are already at
trap level 1 (which we enter to get ready to return from the original
trap).

This is executed inline via the FILL_*_RTRAP handlers.  rtrap_64.S's
code branches directly to these to do the window fill by hand if
necessary.  Now if you look at them, we'll see at the end:

	    ba,a,pt    %xcc, user_rtt_fill_fixup;
	    ba,a,pt    %xcc, user_rtt_fill_fixup;
	    ba,a,pt    %xcc, user_rtt_fill_fixup;

And oops, all three cases are handled like a fault.

This doesn't work because each of these trap types (data access
exception, memory address unaligned, and faults) store their auxiliary
info in different registers to pass on to the C handler which does the
real work.

So in the case where the stack was unaligned, the unaligned trap
handler sets up the arg registers one way, and then we branched to
the fault handler which expects them setup another way.

So the FAULT_TYPE_* value ends up basically being garbage, and
randomly would generate the backtrace seen above.
