[ Upstream commit a81072a9c0ae734b7889929b0bc070fe3f353f0e ]

Inside __scif_pin_pages(), when map_flags != SCIF_MAP_KERNEL it
will call pin_user_pages_fast() to map nr_pages. However,
pin_user_pages_fast() might fail with a return value -ERRNO.

The return value is stored in pinned_pages-&gt;nr_pages. which in
turn is passed to unpin_user_pages(), which expects
pinned_pages-&gt;nr_pages &gt;=0, else disaster.

Fix this by assigning pinned_pages-&gt;nr_pages to 0 if
pin_user_pages_fast() returns -ERRNO.

<title>misc: mic: fix a DMA pool free failure</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 6b995f4eec34745f6cb20d66d5277611f0b3c3fa ]

In _scif_prog_signal(), the boolean variable 'x100' is used to indicate
whether the MIC Coprocessor is X100. If 'x100' is true, the status
descriptor will be used to write the value to the destination. Otherwise, a
DMA pool will be allocated for this purpose. Specifically, if the DMA pool
is allocated successfully, two memory addresses will be returned. One is
for the CPU and the other is for the device to access the DMA pool. The
former is stored to the variable 'status' and the latter is stored to the
variable 'src'. After the allocation, the address in 'src' is saved to
'status-&gt;src_dma_addr', which is actually in the DMA pool, and 'src' is
then modified.

Later on, if an error occurs, the execution flow will transfer to the label
'dma_fail', which will check 'x100' and free up the allocated DMA pool if
'x100' is false. The point here is that 'status-&gt;src_dma_addr' is used for
freeing up the DMA pool. As mentioned before, 'status-&gt;src_dma_addr' is in
the DMA pool. And thus, the device is able to modify this data. This can
potentially cause failures when freeing up the DMA pool because of the
modified device address.

This patch avoids the above issue by using the variable 'src' (with
necessary calculation) to free up the DMA pool.

There are only 2 callers of scif_get_new_port() and both appear to get
the error handling wrong.  Both treat zero returns as error, but it
actually returns negative error codes and &gt;= 0 on success.

<content type='text'>
This removes the 'write' and 'force' from get_user_pages() and replaces
them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in callers
as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs)
within the mm subsystem.

When building with W=1, the __scif_rma_destroy_tcw function
causes a harmless warning about an argument variable that is
modified but not used:

drivers/misc/mic/scif/scif_dma.c: In function ‘__scif_rma_destroy_tcw’:
drivers/misc/mic/scif/scif_dma.c:118:27: error: parameter ‘ep’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-parameter]

In this case, we can just remove the argument, since all callers
are in the same file.

<id>urn:sha1:643ad15d47410d37d43daf3ef1c8ac52c281efa5</id>
<content type='text'>
Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
  that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).

  There's a background article at LWN.net:

      https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/

  The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
  user-controllable permission masks in the pte.  So instead of having a
  fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
  and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
  protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
  cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
  virtual memory range.

  This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
  amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions.  It also
  allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
  executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
  below).

  This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
  that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
  if a user-space application calls:

        mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);

  or

        mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);

  (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
  this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
  memory range.  It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
  Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
  and unwritable.

  So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
  PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
  PROT_READ as well.  Unreadable executable mappings have security
  advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
  ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
  cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.

  We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
  mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
  feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.

  There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
  call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
  pull request.

  Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
  (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
  (like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
  overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment.  If there's
  any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
  flip the default"

<title>mm/gup: Switch all callers of get_user_pages() to not pass tsk/mm</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d4edcf0d56958db0aca0196314ca38a5e730ea92</id>
<content type='text'>
We will soon modify the vanilla get_user_pages() so it can no
longer be used on mm/tasks other than 'current/current-&gt;mm',
which is by far the most common way it is called.  For now,
we allow the old-style calls, but warn when they are used.
(implemented in previous patch)

This patch switches all callers of:

	get_user_pages()
	get_user_pages_unlocked()
	get_user_pages_locked()

to stop passing tsk/mm so they will no longer see the warnings.
