<id>urn:sha1:ea64d5acc8f033cd586182ae31531246cdeaea73</id>
<content type='text'>
Among the existing architecture specific versions of
copy_siginfo_to_user32 there are several different implementation
problems.  Some architectures fail to handle all of the cases in in
the siginfo union.  Some architectures perform a blind copy of the
siginfo union when the si_code is negative.  A blind copy suggests the
data is expected to be in 32bit siginfo format, which means that
receiving such a signal via signalfd won't work, or that the data is
in 64bit siginfo and the code is copying nonsense to userspace.

Create a single instance of copy_siginfo_to_user32 that all of the
architectures can share, and teach it to handle all of the cases in
the siginfo union correctly, with the assumption that siginfo is
stored internally to the kernel is 64bit siginfo format.

A special case is made for x86 x32 format.  This is needed as presence
of both x32 and ia32 on x86_64 results in two different 32bit signal
formats.  By allowing this small special case there winds up being
exactly one code base that needs to be maintained between all of the
architectures.  Vastly increasing the testing base and the chances of
finding bugs.

As the x86 copy of copy_siginfo_to_user32 the call of the x86
signal_compat_build_tests were moved into sigaction_compat_abi, so
that they will keep running.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>
<updated>2017-11-02T10:10:55Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<title>x86/fpu: Introduce validate_xstate_header()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e63e5d5c15c6b1dba26f7cbd1b1089a1d6155db5</id>
<content type='text'>
Move validation of user-supplied xstate_header into a helper function,
in preparation of calling it from both the ptrace and sigreturn syscall
paths.

The new function also considers it to be an error if *any* reserved bits
are set, whereas before we were just clearing most of them silently.

This should reduce the chance of bugs that fail to correctly validate
user-supplied XSAVE areas.  It also will expose any broken userspace
programs that set the other reserved bits; this is desirable because
such programs will lose compatibility with future CPUs and kernels if
those bits are ever used for anything.  (There shouldn't be any such
programs, and in fact in the case where the compacted format is in use
we were already validating xfeatures.  But you never know...)

As per the new nomenclature we don't 'activate' the FPU state
anymore, we initialize it. So drop the _activate_fpstate name
from these functions, which were a bit of a mouthful anyway,
and name them:

	fpu__prepare_read()
	fpu__prepare_write()

<title>x86/fpu: Rename fpu::fpstate_active to fpu::initialized</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=e4a81bfcaae1ebbdc6efe74e8ea563144d90e9a9'/>
<id>urn:sha1:e4a81bfcaae1ebbdc6efe74e8ea563144d90e9a9</id>
<content type='text'>
The x86 FPU code used to have a complex state machine where both the FPU
registers and the FPU state context could be 'active' (or inactive)
independently of each other - which enabled features like lazy FPU restore.

Much of this complexity is gone in the current code: now we basically can
have FPU-less tasks (kernel threads) that don't use (and save/restore) FPU
state at all, plus full FPU users that save/restore directly with no laziness
whatsoever.

But the fpu::fpstate_active still carries bits of the old complexity - meanwhile
this flag has become a simple flag that shows whether the FPU context saving
area in the thread struct is initialized and used, or not.

Rename it to fpu::initialized to express this simplicity in the name as well.

<title>x86/fpu: Reinitialize FPU registers if restoring FPU state fails</title>
<updated>2017-09-25T07:26:38Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Eric Biggers</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=d5c8028b4788f62b31fb79a331b3ad3e041fa366'/>
<id>urn:sha1:d5c8028b4788f62b31fb79a331b3ad3e041fa366</id>
<content type='text'>
Userspace can change the FPU state of a task using the ptrace() or
rt_sigreturn() system calls.  Because reserved bits in the FPU state can
cause the XRSTOR instruction to fail, the kernel has to carefully
validate that no reserved bits or other invalid values are being set.

Unfortunately, there have been bugs in this validation code.  For
example, we were not checking that the 'xcomp_bv' field in the
xstate_header was 0.  As-is, such bugs are exploitable to read the FPU
registers of other processes on the system.  To do so, an attacker can
create a task, assign to it an invalid FPU state, then spin in a loop
and monitor the values of the FPU registers.  Because the task's FPU
registers are not being restored, sometimes the FPU registers will have
the values from another process.

This is likely to continue to be a problem in the future because the
validation done by the CPU instructions like XRSTOR is not immediately
visible to kernel developers.  Nor will invalid FPU states ever be
encountered during ordinary use --- they will only be seen during
fuzzing or exploits.  There can even be reserved bits outside the
xstate_header which are easy to forget about.  For example, the MXCSR
register contains reserved bits, which were not validated by the
KVM_SET_XSAVE ioctl until commit a575813bfe4b ("KVM: x86: Fix load
damaged SSEx MXCSR register").

Therefore, mitigate this class of vulnerability by restoring the FPU
registers from init_fpstate if restoring from the task's state fails.

We actually used to do this, but it was (perhaps unwisely) removed by
commit 9ccc27a5d297 ("x86/fpu: Remove error return values from
copy_kernel_to_*regs() functions").  This new patch is also a bit
different.  First, it only clears the registers, not also the bad
in-memory state; this is simpler and makes it easier to make the
mitigation cover all callers of __copy_kernel_to_fpregs().  Second, it
does the register clearing in an exception handler so that no extra
instructions are added to context switches.  In fact, we *remove*
instructions, since previously we were always zeroing the register
containing 'err' even if CONFIG_X86_DEBUG_FPU was disabled.

copy_xregs_to_kernel checks if the alternatives have been already
patched.

This WARN_ON() is always executed in every context switch.

All the other checks in fpu internal.h are WARN_ON_FPU(), but
this one is plain WARN_ON(). I assume it was forgotten to switch it.

So switch it to WARN_ON_FPU() too to avoid some unnecessary code
in the context switch, and a potentially expensive cache line miss for the
global variable.

On Skylake CPUs I noticed that XRSTOR is unable to deal with states
created by copyout_from_xsaves() if the xstate has only SSE/YMM state, and
no FP state. That is, xfeatures had XFEATURE_MASK_SSE set, but not
XFEATURE_MASK_FP.

The reason is that part of the SSE/YMM state lives in the MXCSR and
MXCSR_FLAGS fields of the FP state.

Ensure that whenever we copy SSE or YMM state around, the MXCSR and
MXCSR_FLAGS fields are also copied around.
