<id>urn:sha1:d507d997cb5301e72750197335c33cda79c016c5</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d8ad6d39c35d2b44b3d48b787df7f3359381dcbf upstream.

'jiffies' and 'jiffies_64' are meant to alias (two different symbols that
share the same address).  Most architectures make the symbols alias to the
same address via a linker script assignment in their
arch/&lt;arch&gt;/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S:

jiffies = jiffies_64;

which is effectively a definition of jiffies.

jiffies and jiffies_64 are both forward declared for all architectures in
include/linux/jiffies.h. jiffies_64 is defined in kernel/time/timer.c.

x86_64 was peculiar in that it wasn't doing the above linker script
assignment, but rather was:
1. defining jiffies in arch/x86/kernel/time.c instead via the linker script.
2. overriding the symbol jiffies_64 from kernel/time/timer.c in
arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s via 'jiffies_64 = jiffies;'.

As Fangrui notes:

  In LLD, symbol assignments in linker scripts override definitions in
  object files. GNU ld appears to have the same behavior. It would
  probably make sense for LLD to error "duplicate symbol" but GNU ld
  is unlikely to adopt for compatibility reasons.

This results in an ODR violation (UB), which seems to have survived
thus far. Where it becomes harmful is when;

1. -fno-semantic-interposition is used:

As Fangrui notes:

  Clang after LLVM commit 5b22bcc2b70d
  ("[X86][ELF] Prefer to lower MC_GlobalAddress operands to .Lfoo$local")
  defaults to -fno-semantic-interposition similar semantics which help
  -fpic/-fPIC code avoid GOT/PLT when the referenced symbol is defined
  within the same translation unit. Unlike GCC
  -fno-semantic-interposition, Clang emits such relocations referencing
  local symbols for non-pic code as well.

This causes references to jiffies to refer to '.Ljiffies$local' when
jiffies is defined in the same translation unit. Likewise, references to
jiffies_64 become references to '.Ljiffies_64$local' in translation units
that define jiffies_64.  Because these differ from the names used in the
linker script, they will not be rewritten to alias one another.

2. Full LTO

Full LTO effectively treats all source files as one translation
unit, causing these local references to be produced everywhere.  When
the linker processes the linker script, there are no longer any
references to jiffies_64' anywhere to replace with 'jiffies'.  And
thus '.Ljiffies$local' and '.Ljiffies_64$local' no longer alias
at all.

In the process of porting patches enabling Full LTO from arm64 to x86_64,
spooky bugs have been observed where the kernel appeared to boot, but init
doesn't get scheduled.

Avoid the ODR violation by matching other architectures and define jiffies
only by linker script.  For -fno-semantic-interposition + Full LTO, there
is no longer a global definition of jiffies for the compiler to produce a
local symbol which the linker script won't ensure aliases to jiffies_64.

<title>x86/vdso: Provide vdso_data offset on vvar_page</title>

<content type='text'>
VDSO support for time namespaces needs to set up a page with the same
layout as VVAR. That timens page will be placed on position of VVAR page
inside namespace. That page has vdso_data-&gt;seq set to 1 to enforce
the slow path and vdso_data-&gt;clock_mode set to VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce
the time namespace handling path.

To prepare the time namespace page the kernel needs to know the vdso_data
offset.  Provide arch_get_vdso_data() helper for locating vdso_data on VVAR
page.

<title>x86/vmlinux: Use INT3 instead of NOP for linker fill bytes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7705dc8557973d8ad8f10840f61d8ec805695e9e</id>
<content type='text'>
Instead of using 0x90 (NOP) to fill bytes between functions, which makes
it easier to sloppily target functions in function pointer overwrite
attacks, fill with 0xCC (INT3) to force a trap. Also drop the space
between "=" and the value to better match the binutils documentation

  https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Output-Section-Fill.html#Output-Section-Fill

Example "objdump -d" before:

  ...
  ffffffff810001e0 &lt;start_cpu0&gt;:
  ffffffff810001e0:       48 8b 25 e1 b1 51 01    mov 0x151b1e1(%rip),%rsp        # ffffffff8251b3c8 &lt;initial_stack&gt;
  ffffffff810001e7:       e9 d5 fe ff ff          jmpq   ffffffff810000c1 &lt;secondary_startup_64+0x91&gt;
  ffffffff810001ec:       90                      nop
  ffffffff810001ed:       90                      nop
  ffffffff810001ee:       90                      nop
  ffffffff810001ef:       90                      nop

  ffffffff810001f0 &lt;__startup_64&gt;:
  ...

After:

  ...
  ffffffff810001e0 &lt;start_cpu0&gt;:
  ffffffff810001e0:       48 8b 25 41 79 53 01    mov 0x1537941(%rip),%rsp        # ffffffff82537b28 &lt;initial_stack&gt;

  ffffffff810001ec:       cc                      int3
  ffffffff810001ed:       cc                      int3
  ffffffff810001ee:       cc                      int3
  ffffffff810001ef:       cc                      int3

the new macro that can be used by any architectures that want to make
a similar consolidation.

Various calculations are using the end of the exception table (which
does not need to be executable) as the end of the text segment. Instead,
in preparation for moving the exception table into RO_DATA, move _etext
after the exception table and update the calculations.

In a linker script, if one places a section in one or more segments using
":PHDR", then the linker will place all subsequent allocatable sections,
which do not specify ":PHDR", into the same segments. In order to have
the NOTES section in both PT_LOAD (":text") and PT_NOTE (":note"), both
segments are marked, and the only way to undo this to keep subsequent
sections out of PT_NOTE is to mark the following section with just the
single desired PT_LOAD (":text").

In preparation for having a common NOTES macro, perform the segment
assignment using a dummy section (as done by other architectures).

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A collection of assorted fixes:

   - Fix for the pinned cr0/4 fallout which escaped all testing efforts
     because the kvm-intel module was never loaded when the kernel was
     compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n. The cr0/4 accessors are moved out
     of line and static key is now solely used in the core code and
     therefore can stay in the RO after init section. So the kvm-intel
     and other modules do not longer reference the (read only) static
     key which the module loader tried to update.

   - Prevent an infinite loop in arch_stack_walk_user() by breaking out
     of the loop once the return address is detected to be 0.

   - Prevent the int3_emulate_call() selftest from corrupting the stack
     when KASAN is enabled. KASASN clobbers more registers than covered
     by the emulated call implementation. Convert the int3_magic()
     selftest to a ASM function so the compiler cannot KASANify it.

   - Unbreak the build with old GCC versions and with the Gold linker by
     reverting the 'Move of _etext to the actual end of .text'. In both
     cases the build fails with 'Invalid absolute R_X86_64_32S
     relocation: _etext'

   - Initialize the context lock for init_mm, which was never an issue
     until the alternatives code started to use a temporary mm for
     patching.

   - Fix a build warning vs. the LOWMEM_PAGES constant where clang
     complains rightfully about a signed integer overflow in the shift
     operation by converting the operand to an ULL.

   - Adjust the misnamed ENDPROC() of common_spurious in the 32bit entry
     code"
