<id>urn:sha1:7b777a6cc52ae067076aa747fd67283c3b9eb600</id>

commit e137a4d8f4dd2e277e355495b6b2cb241a8693c3 upstream.

Switching FS and GS is a mess, and the current code is still subtly
wrong: it assumes that "Loading a nonzero value into FS sets the
index and base", which is false on AMD CPUs if the value being
loaded is 1, 2, or 3.

(The current code came from commit 3e2b68d752c9 ("x86/asm,
sched/x86: Rewrite the FS and GS context switch code"), which made
it better but didn't fully fix it.)

Rewrite it to be much simpler and more obviously correct.  This
should fix it fully on AMD CPUs and shouldn't adversely affect
performance.

<title>x86/fsgsbase/64: Report FSBASE and GSBASE correctly in core dumps</title>

commit 9584d98bed7a7a904d0702ad06bbcc94703cb5b4 upstream.

In ELF_COPY_CORE_REGS, we're copying from the current task, so
accessing thread.fsbase and thread.gsbase makes no sense.  Just read
the values from the CPU registers.

In practice, the old code would have been correct most of the time
simply because thread.fsbase and thread.gsbase usually matched the
CPU registers.

commit 767d035d838f4fd6b5a5bbd7a3f6d293b7f65a49 upstream.

execve used to leak FSBASE and GSBASE on AMD CPUs.  Fix it.

The security impact of this bug is small but not quite zero -- it
could weaken ASLR when a privileged task execs a less privileged
program, but only if program changed bitness across the exec, or the
child binary was highly unusual or actively malicious.  A child
program that was compromised after the exec would not have access to
the leaked base.

<title>KVM: SVM: Limit PFERR_NESTED_GUEST_PAGE error_code check to L1 guest</title>

commit 64531a3b70b17c8d3e77f2e49e5e1bb70f571266 upstream.

Commit 147277540bbc ("kvm: svm: Add support for additional SVM NPF error
codes", 2016-11-23) added a new error code to aid nested page fault
handling.  The commit unprotects (kvm_mmu_unprotect_page) the page when
we get a NPF due to guest page table walk where the page was marked RO.

However, if an L0-&gt;L2 shadow nested page table can also be marked read-only
when a page is read only in L1's nested page table.  If such a page
is accessed by L2 while walking page tables it can cause a nested
page fault (page table walks are write accesses).  However, after
kvm_mmu_unprotect_page we may get another page fault, and again in an
endless stream.

To cover this use case, we qualify the new error_code check with
vcpu-&gt;arch.mmu_direct_map so that the error_code check would run on L1
guest, and not the L2 guest.  This avoids hitting the above scenario.

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

<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.

<title>x86/mm: Fix use-after-free of ldt_struct</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a8da876c1e45b75c082a5dc8ce10c0761a10c638</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ccd5b3235180eef3cfec337df1c8554ab151b5cc upstream.

The following commit:

  39a0526fb3f7 ("x86/mm: Factor out LDT init from context init")

renamed init_new_context() to init_new_context_ldt() and added a new
init_new_context() which calls init_new_context_ldt().  However, the
error code of init_new_context_ldt() was ignored.  Consequently, if a
memory allocation in alloc_ldt_struct() failed during a fork(), the
-&gt;context.ldt of the new task remained the same as that of the old task
(due to the memcpy() in dup_mm()).  ldt_struct's are not intended to be
shared, so a use-after-free occurred after one task exited.

Fix the bug by making init_new_context() pass through the error code of
init_new_context_ldt().

This bug was found by syzkaller, which encountered the following splat:

    #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/syscall.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/wait.h&gt;
    #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

    static void *fork_thread(void *_arg)
    {
        fork();
    }

    int main(void)
    {
        struct user_desc desc = { .entry_number = 8191 };

        syscall(__NR_modify_ldt, 1, &amp;desc, sizeof(desc));

        for (;;) {
            if (fork() == 0) {
                pthread_t t;

                srand(getpid());
                pthread_create(&amp;t, NULL, fork_thread, NULL);
                usleep(rand() % 10000);
                syscall(__NR_exit_group, 0);
            }
            wait(NULL);
        }
    }

Note: the reproducer takes advantage of the fact that alloc_ldt_struct()
may use vmalloc() to allocate a large -&gt;entries array, and after
commit:

  5d17a73a2ebe ("vmalloc: back off when the current task is killed")

it is possible for userspace to fail a task's vmalloc() by
sending a fatal signal, e.g. via exit_group().  It would be more
difficult to reproduce this bug on kernels without that commit.

This bug only affected kernels with CONFIG_MODIFY_LDT_SYSCALL=y.

commit c469268cd523245cc58255f6696e0c295485cb0b upstream.

If the host has protection keys disabled, we cannot read and write the
guest PKRU---RDPKRU and WRPKRU fail with #GP(0) if CR4.PKE=0.  Block
the PKU cpuid bit in that case.

This ensures that guest_CR4.PKE=1 implies host_CR4.PKE=1.

commit 38cfd5e3df9c4f88e76b547eee2087ee5c042ae2 upstream.

The host pkru is restored right after vcpu exit (commit 1be0e61), so
KVM_GET_XSAVE will return the host PKRU value instead.  Fix this by
using the guest PKRU explicitly in fill_xsave and load_xsave.  This
part is based on a patch by Junkang Fu.

The host PKRU data may also not match the value in vcpu-&gt;arch.guest_fpu.state,
because it could have been changed by userspace since the last time
it was saved, so skip loading it in kvm_load_guest_fpu.

commit b9dd21e104bcd45e124acfe978a79df71259e59b upstream.

Move it to struct kvm_arch_vcpu, replacing guest_pkru_valid with a
simple comparison against the host value of the register.  The write of
PKRU in addition can be skipped if the guest has not enabled the feature.
Once we do this, we need not test OSPKE in the host anymore, because
guest_CR4.PKE=1 implies host_CR4.PKE=1.

The static PKU test is kept to elide the code on older CPUs.

<title>debug: Fix WARN_ON_ONCE() for modules</title>

commit 325cdacd03c12629aa5f9ee2ace49b1f3dc184a8 upstream.

Mike Galbraith reported a situation where a WARN_ON_ONCE() call in DRM
code turned into an oops.  As it turns out, WARN_ON_ONCE() seems to be
completely broken when called from a module.

The bug was introduced with the following commit:

  19d436268dde ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()")

That commit changed WARN_ON_ONCE() to move its 'once' logic into the bug
trap handler.  It requires a writable bug table so that the BUGFLAG_DONE
bit can be written to the flags to indicate the first warning has
occurred.

The bug table was made writable for vmlinux, which relies on
vmlinux.lds.S and vmlinux.lds.h for laying out the sections.  However,
it wasn't made writable for modules, which rely on the ELF section
header flags.
