<content type='text'>
commit 691bd4340bef49cf7e5855d06cf24444b5bf2d85 upstream.

It's easier for host applications, such as QEMU, if they can always
access guest MSR_IA32_BNDCFGS in VMCS, even though MPX is disabled in
guest cpuid.

commit 4531662d1abf6c1f0e5c2b86ddb60e61509786c8 upstream.

Bits 11:2 must be zero and the linear addess in bits 63:12 must be
canonical. Otherwise, WRMSR(BNDCFGS) should raise #GP.

commit a8b6fda38f80e75afa3b125c9e7f2550b579454b upstream.

The MSR permission bitmaps are shared by all VMs. However, some VMs
may not be configured to support MPX, even when the host does. If the
host supports VMX and the guest does not, we should intercept accesses
to the BNDCFGS MSR, so that we can synthesize a #GP
fault. Furthermore, if the host does not support MPX and the
"ignore_msrs" kvm kernel parameter is set, then we should intercept
accesses to the BNDCFGS MSR, so that we can skip over the rdmsr/wrmsr
without raising a #GP fault.

<title>binfmt_elf: use ELF_ET_DYN_BASE only for PIE</title>
<updated>2017-07-21T05:00:11Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Kees Cook</name>
</author>
<published>2017-07-10T22:52:37Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=9b1bbf6ea9b2b596ba271bec23b93c48181ad896'/>
<id>urn:sha1:9b1bbf6ea9b2b596ba271bec23b93c48181ad896</id>
<content type='text'>
commit eab09532d40090698b05a07c1c87f39fdbc5fab5 upstream.

The ELF_ET_DYN_BASE position was originally intended to keep loaders
away from ET_EXEC binaries.  (For example, running "/lib/ld-linux.so.2
/bin/cat" might cause the subsequent load of /bin/cat into where the
loader had been loaded.)

With the advent of PIE (ET_DYN binaries with an INTERP Program Header),
ELF_ET_DYN_BASE continued to be used since the kernel was only looking
at ET_DYN.  However, since ELF_ET_DYN_BASE is traditionally set at the
top 1/3rd of the TASK_SIZE, a substantial portion of the address space
is unused.

For 32-bit tasks when RLIMIT_STACK is set to RLIM_INFINITY, programs are
loaded above the mmap region.  This means they can be made to collide
(CVE-2017-1000370) or nearly collide (CVE-2017-1000371) with
pathological stack regions.

Lowering ELF_ET_DYN_BASE solves both by moving programs below the mmap
region in all cases, and will now additionally avoid programs falling
back to the mmap region by enforcing MAP_FIXED for program loads (i.e.
if it would have collided with the stack, now it will fail to load
instead of falling back to the mmap region).

To allow for a lower ELF_ET_DYN_BASE, loaders (ET_DYN without INTERP)
are loaded into the mmap region, leaving space available for either an
ET_EXEC binary with a fixed location or PIE being loaded into mmap by
the loader.  Only PIE programs are loaded offset from ELF_ET_DYN_BASE,
which means architectures can now safely lower their values without risk
of loaders colliding with their subsequently loaded programs.

For 64-bit, ELF_ET_DYN_BASE is best set to 4GB to allow runtimes to use
the entire 32-bit address space for 32-bit pointers.

Thanks to PaX Team, Daniel Micay, and Rik van Riel for inspiration and
suggestions on how to implement this solution.

<title>x86/mm/pat: Don't report PAT on CPUs that don't support it</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f6d5ffafb032173e1babb26a5d88020bbd92d01a</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 99c13b8c8896d7bcb92753bf0c63a8de4326e78d upstream.

The pat_enabled() logic is broken on CPUs which do not support PAT and
where the initialization code fails to call pat_init(). Due to that the
enabled flag stays true and pat_enabled() returns true wrongfully.

As a consequence the mappings, e.g. for Xorg, are set up with the wrong
caching mode and the required MTRR setups are omitted.

To cure this the following changes are required:

  1) Make pat_enabled() return true only if PAT initialization was
     invoked and successful.

  2) Invoke init_cache_modes() unconditionally in setup_arch() and
     remove the extra callsites in pat_disable() and the pat disabled
     code path in pat_init().

Also rename __pat_enabled to pat_disabled to reflect the real purpose of
this variable.

<title>x86/uaccess: Optimize copy_user_enhanced_fast_string() for short strings</title>

<id>urn:sha1:060be7f75efaa6203ab0532dacb02d1f15f3822b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 236222d39347e0e486010f10c1493e83dbbdfba8 upstream.

According to the Intel datasheet, the REP MOVSB instruction
exposes a pretty heavy setup cost (50 ticks), which hurts
short string copy operations.

This change tries to avoid this cost by calling the explicit
loop available in the unrolled code for strings shorter
than 64 bytes.

The 64 bytes cutoff value is arbitrary from the code logic
point of view - it has been selected based on measurements,
as the largest value that still ensures a measurable gain.

Micro benchmarks of the __copy_from_user() function with
lengths in the [0-63] range show this performance gain
(shorter the string, larger the gain):

 - in the [55%-4%] range on Intel Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4
 - in the [72%-9%] range on Intel Core i7-4810MQ

Other tested CPUs - namely Intel Atom S1260 and AMD Opteron
8216 - show no difference, because they do not expose the
ERMS feature bit.

This is triggered occasionally by running both win7 and win2016 in L2, in
addition, EPT is disabled on both L1 and L2. It can't be reproduced easily.

Commit 0b6ac343fc (KVM: nVMX: Correct handling of exception injection) mentioned
that "KVM wants to inject page-faults which it got to the guest. This function
assumes it is called with the exit reason in vmcs02 being a #PF exception".
Commit e011c663 (KVM: nVMX: Check all exceptions for intercept during delivery to
L2) allows to check all exceptions for intercept during delivery to L2. However,
there is no guarantee the exit reason is exception currently, when there is an
external interrupt occurred on host, maybe a time interrupt for host which should
not be injected to guest, and somewhere queues an exception, then the function
nested_vmx_check_exception() will be called and the vmexit emulation codes will
try to emulate the "Acknowledge interrupt on exit" behavior, the warning is
triggered.

Reusing the exit reason from the L2-&gt;L0 vmexit is wrong in this case,
the reason must always be EXCEPTION_NMI when injecting an exception into
L1 as a nested vmexit.

Static checker noticed that base3 could be used uninitialized if the
segment was not present (useable).  Random stack values probably would
not pass VMCS entry checks.
