x86/tls: Don't validate lm in set_thread_area() after all

2015-01-08T18:27:47Z

commit 3fb2f4237bb452eb4e98f6a5dbd5a445b4fed9d0 upstream. It turns out that there's a lurking ABI issue. GCC, when compiling this in a 32-bit program: struct user_desc desc = { .entry_number = idx, .base_addr = base, .limit = 0xfffff, .seg_32bit = 1, .contents = 0, /* Data, grow-up */ .read_exec_only = 0, .limit_in_pages = 1, .seg_not_present = 0, .useable = 0, }; will leave .lm uninitialized. This means that anything in the kernel that reads user_desc.lm for 32-bit tasks is unreliable. Revert the .lm check in set_thread_area(). The value never did anything in the first place.

x86/asm/traps: Disable tracing and kprobes in fixup_bad_iret and sync_regs

2015-01-08T18:27:47Z

commit 7ddc6a2199f1da405a2fb68c40db8899b1a8cd87 upstream. These functions can be executed on the int3 stack, so kprobes are dangerous. Tracing is probably a bad idea, too.

x86, kvm: Clear paravirt_enabled on KVM guests for espfix32's benefit

2015-01-08T18:27:44Z

commit 29fa6825463c97e5157284db80107d1bfac5d77b upstream. paravirt_enabled has the following effects: - Disables the F00F bug workaround warning. There is no F00F bug workaround any more because Linux's standard IDT handling already works around the F00F bug, but the warning still exists. This is only cosmetic, and, in any event, there is no such thing as KVM on a CPU with the F00F bug. - Disables 32-bit APM BIOS detection. On a KVM paravirt system, there should be no APM BIOS anyway. - Disables tboot. I think that the tboot code should check the CPUID hypervisor bit directly if it matters. - paravirt_enabled disables espfix32. espfix32 should *not* be disabled under KVM paravirt. The last point is the purpose of this patch. It fixes a leak of the high 16 bits of the kernel stack address on 32-bit KVM paravirt guests. Fixes CVE-2014-8134.

x86_64, switch_to(): Load TLS descriptors before switching DS and ES

2015-01-08T18:27:44Z

commit f647d7c155f069c1a068030255c300663516420e upstream. Otherwise, if buggy user code points DS or ES into the TLS array, they would be corrupted after a context switch.

x86/tls: Disallow unusual TLS segments

2015-01-08T18:27:44Z

commit 0e58af4e1d2166e9e33375a0f121e4867010d4f8 upstream. Users have no business installing custom code segments into the GDT, and segments that are not present but are otherwise valid are a historical source of interesting attacks. For completeness, block attempts to set the L bit. (Prior to this patch, the L bit would have been silently dropped.) This is an ABI break. I've checked glibc, musl, and Wine, and none of them look like they'll have any trouble. Note to stable maintainers: this is a hardening patch that fixes no known bugs. Given the possibility of ABI issues, this probably shouldn't be backported quickly. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Acked-by: H.

x86: kvm: use alternatives for VMCALL vs. VMMCALL if kernel text is read-only

2014-12-06T23:57:34Z

commit c1118b3602c2329671ad5ec8bdf8e374323d6343 upstream. On x86_64, kernel text mappings are mapped read-only with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. In that case, KVM will fail to patch VMCALL instructions to VMMCALL as required on AMD processors. The failure mode is currently a divide-by-zero exception, which obviously is a KVM bug that has to be fixed. However, picking the right instruction between VMCALL and VMMCALL will be faster and will help if you cannot upgrade the hypervisor.

x86: Require exact match for 'noxsave' command line option

2014-12-06T23:57:15Z

commit 2cd3949f702692cf4c5d05b463f19cd706a92dd3 upstream. We have some very similarly named command-line options: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:__setup("noxsave", x86_xsave_setup); arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:__setup("noxsaveopt", x86_xsaveopt_setup); arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:__setup("noxsaves", x86_xsaves_setup); __setup() is designed to match options that take arguments, like "foo=bar" where you would have: __setup("foo", x86_foo_func...); The problem is that "noxsave" actually _matches_ "noxsaves" in the same way that "foo" matches "foo=bar". If you boot an old kernel that does not know about "noxsaves" with "noxsaves" on the command line, it will interpret the argument as "noxsave", which is not what you want at all. This makes the "noxsave" handler only return success when it finds an *exact* match. [ tglx: We really need to make __setup() more robust. ] Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen Cc: Dave Hansen Cc: Fenghua Yu Cc: x86@kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20141111220133.FE053984@viggo.jf.intel.com Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

x86_64, traps: Rework bad_iret

2014-12-06T23:57:15Z

commit b645af2d5905c4e32399005b867987919cbfc3ae upstream. It's possible for iretq to userspace to fail. This can happen because of a bad CS, SS, or RIP. Historically, we've handled it by fixing up an exception from iretq to land at bad_iret, which pretends that the failed iret frame was really the hardware part of #GP(0) from userspace. To make this work, there's an extra fixup to fudge the gs base into a usable state. This is suboptimal because it loses the original exception. It's also buggy because there's no guarantee that we were on the kernel stack to begin with. For example, if the failing iret happened on return from an NMI, then we'll end up executing general_protection on the NMI stack. This is bad for several reasons, the most immediate of which is that general_protection, as a non-paranoid idtentry, will try to deliver signals and/or schedule from the wrong stack. This patch throws out bad_iret entirely. As a replacement, it augments the existing swapgs fudge into a full-blown iret fixup, mostly written in C. It's should be clearer and more correct.

x86_64, traps: Stop using IST for #SS

2014-12-06T23:57:15Z

commit 6f442be2fb22be02cafa606f1769fa1e6f894441 upstream. On a 32-bit kernel, this has no effect, since there are no IST stacks. On a 64-bit kernel, #SS can only happen in user code, on a failed iret to user space, a canonical violation on access via RSP or RBP, or a genuine stack segment violation in 32-bit kernel code. The first two cases don't need IST, and the latter two cases are unlikely fatal bugs, and promoting them to double faults would be fine. This fixes a bug in which the espfix64 code mishandles a stack segment violation. This saves 4k of memory per CPU and a tiny bit of code.
