commit 02e425668f5c9deb42787d10001a3b605993ad15 upstream.

When I added the missing memory outputs, I failed to update the
index of the first argument (ebx) on 32-bit builds, which broke the
fallbacks.  Somehow I must have screwed up my testing or gotten
lucky.

Add another test to cover gettimeofday() as well.

commit 4f166564014aba65ad6f15b612f6711fd0f117ee upstream.

When I fixed the vDSO build to use inline retpolines, I messed up
the Makefile logic and made it unconditional.  It should have
depended on CONFIG_RETPOLINE and on the availability of compiler
support.  This broke the build on some older compilers.

<content type='text'>
commit 715bd9d12f84d8f5cc8ad21d888f9bc304a8eb0b upstream.

The syscall fallbacks in the vDSO have incorrect asm constraints.
They are not marked as writing to their outputs -- instead, they are
marked as clobbering "memory", which is useless.  In particular, gcc
is smart enough to know that the timespec parameter hasn't escaped,
so a memory clobber doesn't clobber it.  And passing a pointer as an
asm *input* does not tell gcc that the pointed-to value is changed.

Add in the fact that the asm instructions weren't volatile, and gcc
was free to omit them entirely unless their sole output (the return
value) is used.  Which it is (phew!), but that stops happening with
some upcoming patches.

As a trivial example, the following code:

void test_fallback(struct timespec *ts)
{
	vdso_fallback_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, ts);
}

compiles to:

00000000000000c0 &lt;test_fallback&gt;:
  c0:   c3                      retq

To add insult to injury, the RCX and R11 clobbers on 64-bit
builds were missing.

The "memory" clobber is also unnecessary -- no ordering with respect to
other memory operations is needed, but that's going to be fixed in a
separate not-for-stable patch.

[ Upstream commit 6709812f094d96543b443645c68daaa32d3d3e77 ]

Sadly, other than claimed in:

  a368d7fd2a ("x86/entry/64: Add instruction suffix")

... there are two more instances which want to be adjusted.

As said there, omitting suffixes from instructions in AT&amp;T mode is bad
practice when operand size cannot be determined by the assembler from
register operands, and is likely going to be warned about by upstream
gas in the future (mine does already).

Add the other missing suffixes here as well.

commit 2e549b2ee0e358bc758480e716b881f9cabedb6a upstream.

Currently, if the vDSO ends up containing an indirect branch or
call, GCC will emit the "external thunk" style of retpoline, and it
will fail to link.

Fix it by building the vDSO with inline retpoline thunks.

I haven't seen any reports of this triggering on an unpatched
kernel.

<title>x86/entry/64: Remove %ebx handling from error_entry/exit</title>
<updated>2018-07-24T08:07:36Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Andy Lutomirski</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=b3681dd548d06deb2e1573890829dff4b15abf46'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b3681dd548d06deb2e1573890829dff4b15abf46</id>
<content type='text'>
error_entry and error_exit communicate the user vs. kernel status of
the frame using %ebx.  This is unnecessary -- the information is in
regs-&gt;cs.  Just use regs-&gt;cs.

This makes error_entry simpler and makes error_exit more robust.

It also fixes a nasty bug.  Before all the Spectre nonsense, the
xen_failsafe_callback entry point returned like this:

        ALLOC_PT_GPREGS_ON_STACK
        SAVE_C_REGS
        SAVE_EXTRA_REGS
        ENCODE_FRAME_POINTER
        jmp     error_exit

And it did not go through error_entry.  This was bogus: RBX
contained garbage, and error_exit expected a flag in RBX.

Fortunately, it generally contained *nonzero* garbage, so the
correct code path was used.  As part of the Spectre fixes, code was
added to clear RBX to mitigate certain speculation attacks.  Now,
depending on kernel configuration, RBX got zeroed and, when running
some Wine workloads, the kernel crashes.  This was introduced by:

    commit 3ac6d8c787b8 ("x86/entry/64: Clear registers for exceptions/interrupts, to reduce speculation attack surface")

With this patch applied, RBX is no longer needed as a flag, and the
problem goes away.

I suspect that malicious userspace could use this bug to crash the
kernel even without the offending patch applied, though.

[ Historical note: I wrote this patch as a cleanup before I was aware
  of the bug it fixed. ]

[ Note to stable maintainers: this should probably get applied to all
  kernels.  If you're nervous about that, a more conservative fix to
  add xorl %ebx,%ebx; incl %ebx before the jump to error_exit should
  also fix the problem. ]

Commit:

  8bb2610bc496 ("x86/entry/64/compat: Preserve r8-r11 in int $0x80")

was busted: my original patch had a minor conflict with
some of the nospec changes, but "git apply" is very clever
and silently accepted the patch by making the same changes
to a different function in the same file.  There was obviously
a huge offset, but "git apply" for some reason doesn't feel
any need to say so.

Move the changes to the correct function.  Now the
test_syscall_vdso_32 selftests passes.

If anyone cares to observe the original problem, try applying the
patch at:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d4c4d9985fbe64f8c9e19291886453914b48caee.1523975710.git.luto@kernel.org/raw

to the kernel at 316d097c4cd4e7f2ef50c40cff2db266593c4ec4:

 - "git am" and "git apply" accept the patch without any complaints at all
 - "patch -p1" at least prints out a message about the huge offset.

<title>rseq: Avoid infinite recursion when delivering SIGSEGV</title>

<id>urn:sha1:784e0300fe9fe4aa81bd7df9d59e138f56bb605b</id>
<content type='text'>
When delivering a signal to a task that is using rseq, we call into
__rseq_handle_notify_resume() so that the registers pushed in the
sigframe are updated to reflect the state of the restartable sequence
(for example, ensuring that the signal returns to the abort handler if
necessary).

However, if the rseq management fails due to an unrecoverable fault when
accessing userspace or certain combinations of RSEQ_CS_* flags, then we
will attempt to deliver a SIGSEGV. This has the potential for infinite
recursion if the rseq code continuously fails on signal delivery.

Avoid this problem by using force_sigsegv() instead of force_sig(), which
is explicitly designed to reset the SEGV handler to SIG_DFL in the case
of a recursive fault. In doing so, remove rseq_signal_deliver() from the
internal rseq API and have an optional struct ksignal * parameter to
rseq_handle_notify_resume() instead.
