      arm64: Fix text patching logic when using fixmap · f6242cac
      Marc Zyngier authored 
      

Patch 2f896d58 ("arm64: use fixmap for text patching") changed
the way we patch the kernel text, using a fixmap when the kernel or
modules are flagged as read only.

Unfortunately, a flaw in the logic makes it fall over when patching
modules without CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX enabled:

[...]

[   32.034044] [<fffffe0000135714>] SyS_finit_module+0x94/0xc4
[...]

This is triggered by the use of virt_to_page() on a module address,
which ends to pointing to Nowhereland if you're lucky, or corrupt
your precious data if not.

This patch fixes the logic by mimicking what is done on arm:
- If we're patching a module and CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX is set,
  use vmalloc_to_page().
- If we're patching the kernel and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set,
  use virt_to_page().
- Otherwise, use the provided address, as we can write to it directly.

Tested on 4.0-rc1 as a KVM guest.

      arm64: psci: move psci firmware calls out of line · f5e0a12c
      Will Deacon authored 
      

An arm64 allmodconfig fails to build with GCC 5 due to __asmeq
assertions in the PSCI firmware calling code firing due to mcount
preambles breaking our assumptions about register allocation of function
arguments:

  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s:60: Error: .err encountered
  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s:61: Error: .err encountered

  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s:100: Error: .err encountered
  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s:101: Error: .err encountered

This patch fixes the issue by moving the PSCI calls out-of-line into
their own assembly files, which are safe from the compiler's meddling
fingers.

      arm64: vdso: minor ABI fix for clock_getres · e1b6b6ce
      Nathan Lynch authored 
      

The vdso implementation of clock_getres currently returns 0 (success)
whenever a null timespec is provided by the caller, regardless of the
clock id supplied.

This behavior is incorrect.  It should fall back to syscall when an
unrecognized clock id is passed, even when the timespec argument is
null.  This ensures that clock_getres always returns an error for
invalid clock ids.

      mm: vmalloc: pass additional vm_flags to __vmalloc_node_range() · cb9e3c29
      Andrey Ryabinin authored 
      

For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory
for modules.  So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for
shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address
allocated in module_alloc().

__vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a
guard hole after allocated area.  Guard hole in shadow memory should be a
problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory
at address occupied by guard hole.  So we could fail to allocate shadow
for module_alloc().

Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into
__vmalloc_node_range().  Add new parameter 'vm_flags' to
__vmalloc_node_range() function.

      all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct · f56141e3
      Andy Lutomirski authored 
      

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

      arm64: kernel: remove ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND config option · af3cfdbf
      Lorenzo Pieralisi authored 
      

ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND config option was introduced to make code providing
context save/restore selectable only on platforms requiring power
management capabilities.

Currently ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND depends on the PM_SLEEP config option which
in turn is set by the SUSPEND config option.

The introduction of CPU_IDLE for arm64 requires that code configured
by ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND (context save/restore) should be compiled in
in order to enable the CPU idle driver to rely on CPU operations
carrying out context save/restore.

The ARM64_CPUIDLE config option (ARM64 generic idle driver) is therefore
forced to select ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND, even if there may be (ie PM_SLEEP)
failed dependencies, which is not a clean way of handling the kernel
configuration option.

For these reasons, this patch removes the ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND config option
and makes the context save/restore dependent on CPU_PM, which is selected
whenever either SUSPEND or CPU_IDLE are configured, cleaning up dependencies
in the process.

This way, code previously configured through ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND is
compiled in whenever a power management subsystem requires it to be
present in the kernel (SUSPEND || CPU_IDLE), which is the behaviour
expected on ARM64 kernels.

The cpu_suspend and cpu_init_idle CPU operations are added only if
CPU_IDLE is selected, since they are CPU_IDLE specific methods and
should be grouped and defined accordingly.

PSCI CPU operations are updated to reflect the introduced changes.

As with x86, mark the sys_call_table const such that it will be placed
in the .rodata section. This will cause attempts to modify the table
(accidental or deliberate) to fail when strict page permissions are in
place. In the absence of strict page permissions, there should be no
functional change.

      arm64: Implement the compat_sys_call_table in C · 0156411b

Unlike the sys_call_table[], the compat one was implemented in sys32.S
making it impossible to notice discrepancies between the number of
compat syscalls and the __NR_compat_syscalls macro, the latter having to
be defined in asm/unistd.h as including asm/unistd32.h would cause
conflicts on __NR_* definitions. With this patch, incorrect
__NR_compat_syscalls values will result in a build-time error.
