commit 42d8644bd77dd2d747e004e367cb0c895a606f39 upstream.

The "call" variable comes from the user in privcmd_ioctl_hypercall().
It's an offset into the hypercall_page[] which has (PAGE_SIZE / 32)
elements.  We need to put an upper bound on it to prevent an out of
bounds access.

commit e81434995081fd7efb755fd75576b35dbb0850b1 upstream.

____kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot() provides a generic exception fixup
handler that is used to cleanly handle faults on VMX/SVM instructions
during reboot (or at least try to).  If there isn't a reboot in
progress, ____kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot() treats any exception as
fatal to KVM and invokes kvm_spurious_fault(), which in turn generates
a BUG() to get a stack trace and die.

When it was originally added by commit 4ecac3fd6dc2 ("KVM: Handle
virtualization instruction #UD faults during reboot"), the "call" to
kvm_spurious_fault() was handcoded as PUSH+JMP, where the PUSH'd value
is the RIP of the faulting instructing.

The PUSH+JMP trickery is necessary because the exception fixup handler
code lies outside of its associated function, e.g. right after the
function.  An actual CALL from the .fixup code would show a slightly
bogus stack trace, e.g. an extra "random" function would be inserted
into the trace, as the return RIP on the stack would point to no known
function (and the unwinder will likely try to guess who owns the RIP).

Unfortunately, the JMP was replaced with a CALL when the macro was
reworked to not spin indefinitely during reboot (commit b7c4145ba2eb
"KVM: Don't spin on virt instruction faults during reboot").  This
causes the aforementioned behavior where a bogus function is inserted
into the stack trace, e.g. my builds like to blame free_kvm_area().

Revert the CALL back to a JMP.  The changelog for commit b7c4145ba2eb
("KVM: Don't spin on virt instruction faults during reboot") contains
nothing that indicates the switch to CALL was deliberate.  This is
backed up by the fact that the PUSH &lt;insn RIP&gt; was left intact.

Note that an alternative to the PUSH+JMP magic would be to JMP back
to the "real" code and CALL from there, but that would require adding
a JMP in the non-faulting path to avoid calling kvm_spurious_fault()
and would add no value, i.e. the stack trace would be the same.

Using CALL:

<title>kvm/x86: fix icebp instruction handling</title>
<updated>2018-04-08T09:49:42Z</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:e7dc809e8042cf3d2c48ffa616941a8b11d3beba</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 32d43cd391bacb5f0814c2624399a5dad3501d09 upstream.

The undocumented 'icebp' instruction (aka 'int1') works pretty much like
'int3' in the absense of in-circuit probing equipment (except,
obviously, that it raises #DB instead of raising #BP), and is used by
some validation test-suites as such.

But Andy Lutomirski noticed that his test suite acted differently in kvm
than on bare hardware.

The reason is that kvm used an inexact test for the icebp instruction:
it just assumed that an all-zero VM exit qualification value meant that
the VM exit was due to icebp.

That is not unlike the guess that do_debug() does for the actual
exception handling case, but it's purely a heuristic, not an absolute
rule.  do_debug() does it because it wants to ascribe _some_ reasons to
the #DB that happened, and an empty %dr6 value means that 'icebp' is the
most likely casue and we have no better information.

But kvm can just do it right, because unlike the do_debug() case, kvm
actually sees the real reason for the #DB in the VM-exit interruption
information field.

So instead of relying on an inexact heuristic, just use the actual VM
exit information that says "it was 'icebp'".

Right now the 'icebp' instruction isn't technically documented by Intel,
but that will hopefully change.  The special "privileged software
exception" information _is_ actually mentioned in the Intel SDM, even
though the cause of it isn't enumerated.

[ Upstream commit 9b8ae63798cb97e785a667ff27e43fa6220cb734 ]

In case of instruction-decode failure or emulation failure,
x86_emulate_instruction() will call reexecute_instruction() which will
attempt to use the cr2 value passed to x86_emulate_instruction().
However, when x86_emulate_instruction() is called from
emulate_instruction(), cr2 is not passed (passed as 0) and therefore
it doesn't make sense to execute reexecute_instruction() logic at all.

We support various non-Intel CPUs that don't have the CPUID
instruction, so the M486 test was wrong.  For now, fix it with a big
hammer: handle missing CPUID on all 32-bit CPUs.

<title>x86/mm: Disable preemption during CR3 read+write</title>

<id>urn:sha1:608c3080b00944769a3cf898d5e54dca64511dea</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 5cf0791da5c162ebc14b01eb01631cfa7ed4fa6e upstream.

There's a subtle preemption race on UP kernels:

Usually current-&gt;mm (and therefore mm-&gt;pgd) stays the same during the
lifetime of a task so it does not matter if a task gets preempted during
the read and write of the CR3.

But then, there is this scenario on x86-UP:

TaskA is in do_exit() and exit_mm() sets current-&gt;mm = NULL followed by:

 -&gt; mmput()
 -&gt; exit_mmap()
 -&gt; tlb_finish_mmu()
 -&gt; tlb_flush_mmu()
 -&gt; tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly()
 -&gt; tlb_flush()
 -&gt; flush_tlb_mm_range()
 -&gt; __flush_tlb_up()
 -&gt; __flush_tlb()
 -&gt;  __native_flush_tlb()

At this point current-&gt;mm is NULL but current-&gt;active_mm still points to
the "old" mm.

Let's preempt taskA _after_ native_read_cr3() by taskB. TaskB has its
own mm so CR3 has changed.

Now preempt back to taskA. TaskA has no -&gt;mm set so it borrows taskB's
mm and so CR3 remains unchanged. Once taskA gets active it continues
where it was interrupted and that means it writes its old CR3 value
back. Everything is fine because userland won't need its memory
anymore.

Now the fun part:

Let's preempt taskA one more time and get back to taskB. This
time switch_mm() won't do a thing because oldmm (-&gt;active_mm)
is the same as mm (as per context_switch()). So we remain
with a bad CR3 / PGD and return to userland.

The next thing that happens is handle_mm_fault() with an address for
the execution of its code in userland. handle_mm_fault() realizes that
it has a PTE with proper rights so it returns doing nothing. But the
CPU looks at the wrong PGD and insists that something is wrong and
faults again. And again. And one more time…

This pagefault circle continues until the scheduler gets tired of it and
puts another task on the CPU. It gets little difficult if the task is a
RT task with a high priority. The system will either freeze or it gets
fixed by the software watchdog thread which usually runs at RT-max prio.
But waiting for the watchdog will increase the latency of the RT task
which is no good.

Fix this by disabling preemption across the critical code section.

<title>x86/io: Add "memory" clobber to insb/insw/insl/outsb/outsw/outsl</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f2888dd24d315db4fc35cc610eb205d387904e69</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 7206f9bf108eb9513d170c73f151367a1bdf3dbf upstream.

The x86 version of insb/insw/insl uses an inline assembly that does
not have the target buffer listed as an output. This can confuse
the compiler, leading it to think that a subsequent access of the
buffer is uninitialized:

  drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c: In function ‘wl3501_mgmt_scan_confirm’:
  drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:665:9: error: ‘sig.status’ is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
  drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:668:12: error: ‘sig.cap_info’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  drivers/net/sb1000.c: In function 'sb1000_rx':
  drivers/net/sb1000.c:775:9: error: 'st[0]' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
  drivers/net/sb1000.c:776:10: error: 'st[1]' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  drivers/net/sb1000.c:784:11: error: 'st[1]' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

I tried to mark the exact input buffer as an output here, but couldn't
figure it out. As suggested by Linus, marking all memory as clobbered
however is good enough too. For the outs operations, I also add the
memory clobber, to force the input to be written to local variables.
This is probably already guaranteed by the "asm volatile", but it can't
hurt to do this for symmetry.

commit 6fdc6dd90272ce7e75d744f71535cfbd8d77da81 upstream.

The vsyscall32 sysctl can racy against a concurrent fork when it switches
from disabled to enabled:

    arch_setup_additional_pages()
	if (vdso32_enabled)
           --&gt; No mapping
                                        sysctl.vsysscall32()
                                          --&gt; vdso32_enabled = true
    create_elf_tables()
      ARCH_DLINFO_IA32
        if (vdso32_enabled) {
           --&gt; Add VDSO entry with NULL pointer

Make ARCH_DLINFO_IA32 check whether the VDSO mapping has been set up for
the newly forked process or not.

commit dc1555e670c373bfa4ca2e1e2f839d5fe2b4501a upstream.

Not upstream as it is not needed there.

So a patch something like this might be a safe way to fix the
potential infoleak in older kernels.

THIS IS UNTESTED. It's a very obvious patch, though, so if it compiles
it probably works. It just initializes the output variable with 0 in
the inline asm description, instead of doing it in the exception
handler.

It will generate slightly worse code (a few unnecessary ALU
operations), but it doesn't have any interactions with the exception
handler implementation.

[ Upstream commit e1bfc11c5a6f40222a698a818dc269113245820e ]

cr4_init_shadow() will panic on 486-like machines without CR4.  Fix
it using __read_cr4_safe().
