x86: Init per-cpu shadow copy of CR4 on 32-bit CPUs too

2015-10-28T20:20:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5b2bdbc84556774afbe11bcfd24c2f6411cfa92b ] Commit: 1e02ce4cccdc ("x86: Store a per-cpu shadow copy of CR4") added a shadow CR4 such that reads and writes that do not modify the CR4 execute much faster than always reading the register itself. The change modified cpu_init() in common.c, so that the shadow CR4 gets initialized before anything uses it. Unfortunately, there's two cpu_init()s in common.c. There's one for 64-bit and one for 32-bit. The commit only added the shadow init to the 64-bit path, but the 32-bit path needs the init too.

x86/nmi/64: Fix a paravirt stack-clobbering bug in the NMI code

2015-10-28T02:14:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit 83c133cf11fb0e68a51681447e372489f052d40e ] The NMI entry code that switches to the normal kernel stack needs to be very careful not to clobber any extra stack slots on the NMI stack. The code is fine under the assumption that SWAPGS is just a normal instruction, but that assumption isn't really true. Use SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK instead. This is part of a fix for some random crashes that Sasha saw.

x86/process: Add proper bound checks in 64bit get_wchan()

It's the start of the stack page plus sizeof (struct thread_info) - The upper bound must be: top_of_stack - TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING - 2 * sizeof(unsigned long). The 2 * sizeof(unsigned long) is required because the stack pointer points at the frame pointer. The layout on the stack is: ... IP FP ... IP FP. So we need to make sure that both IP and FP are in the bounds. Fix the bound checks and get rid of the mix of numeric constants, u64 and unsigned long. Making all unsigned long allows us to use the same function for 32bit as well. Use READ_ONCE() when accessing the stack. This does not prevent a concurrent wakeup of the task and the stack changing, but at least it avoids TOCTOU. Also check task state at the end of the loop. Again that does not prevent concurrent changes, but it avoids walking for nothing. Add proper comments while at it.

x86/kexec: Fix kexec crash in syscall kexec_file_load()

2015-10-28T02:13:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit e3c41e37b0f4b18cbd4dac76cbeece5a7558b909 ] The original bug is a page fault crash that sometimes happens on big machines when preparing ELF headers: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc90613fc9000 IP: [] prepare_elf64_ram_headers_callback+0x165/0x260 The bug is caused by us under-counting the number of memory ranges and subsequently not allocating enough ELF header space for them. The bug is typically masked on smaller systems, because the ELF header allocation is rounded up to the next page. This patch modifies the code in fill_up_crash_elf_data() by using walk_system_ram_res() instead of walk_system_ram_range() to correctly count the max number of crash memory ranges. That's because the walk_system_ram_range() filters out small memory regions that reside in the same page, but walk_system_ram_res() does not. Here's how I found the bug: After tracing prepare_elf64_headers() and prepare_elf64_ram_headers_callback(), the code uses walk_system_ram_res() to fill-in crash memory regions information to the program header, so it counts those small memory regions that reside in a page area. But, when the kernel was using walk_system_ram_range() in fill_up_crash_elf_data() to count the number of crash memory regions, it filters out small regions. I printed those small memory regions, for example: kexec: Get nr_ram ranges. vaddr=0xffff880077592258 paddr=0x77592258, sz=0xdc0 Based on the code in walk_system_ram_range(), this memory region will be filtered out: pfn = (0x77592258 + 0x1000 - 1) >> 12 = 0x77593 end_pfn = (0x77592258 + 0xfc0 -1 + 1) >> 12 = 0x77593 end_pfn - pfn = 0x77593 - 0x77593 = 0 <=== if (end_pfn > pfn) is FALSE So, the max_nr_ranges that's counted by the kernel doesn't include small memory regions - causing us to under-allocate the required space. That causes the page fault crash that happens in a later code path when preparing ELF headers. This bug is not easy to reproduce on small machines that have few CPUs, because the allocated page aligned ELF buffer has more free space to cover those small memory regions' PT_LOAD headers.

x86/paravirt: Replace the paravirt nop with a bona fide empty function

2015-10-28T02:13:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit fc57a7c68020dcf954428869eafd934c0ab1536f ] PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME generates this code (using nmi as an example, trimmed for readability): ff 15 00 00 00 00 callq *0x0(%rip) # 2796 2792: R_X86_64_PC32 pv_irq_ops+0x2c That's a call through a function pointer to regular C function that does nothing on native boots, but that function isn't protected against kprobes, isn't marked notrace, and is certainly not guaranteed to preserve any registers if the compiler is feeling perverse. This is bad news for a CLBR_NONE operation. Of course, if everything works correctly, once paravirt ops are patched, it gets nopped out, but what if we hit this code before paravirt ops are patched in? This can potentially cause breakage that is very difficult to debug. A more subtle failure is possible here, too: if _paravirt_nop uses the stack at all (even just to push RBP), it will overwrite the "NMI executing" variable if it's called in the NMI prologue. The Xen case, perhaps surprisingly, is fine, because it's already written in asm. Fix all of the cases that default to paravirt_nop (including adjust_exception_frame) with a big hammer: replace paravirt_nop with an asm function that is just a ret instruction. The Xen case may have other problems, so document them. This is part of a fix for some random crashes that Sasha saw.

x86/platform: Fix Geode LX timekeeping in the generic x86 build

[ Upstream commit 03da3ff1cfcd7774c8780d2547ba0d995f7dc03d ] In 2007, commit 07190a08eef36 ("Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable") bypassed verification of the TSC on Geode LX. However, this code (now in the check_system_tsc_reliable() function in arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c) was only present if CONFIG_MGEODE_LX was set. OpenWRT has recently started building its generic Geode target for Geode GX, not LX, to include support for additional platforms. This broke the timekeeping on LX-based devices, because the TSC wasn't marked as reliable: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20531 By adding a runtime check on is_geode_lx(), we can also include the fix if CONFIG_MGEODEGX1 or CONFIG_X86_GENERIC are set, thus fixing the problem.

x86/apic: Serialize LVTT and TSC_DEADLINE writes

2015-10-28T02:13:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5d7c631d926b59aa16f3c56eaeb83f1036c81dc7 ] The APIC LVTT register is MMIO mapped but the TSC_DEADLINE register is an MSR. The write to the TSC_DEADLINE MSR is not serializing, so it's not guaranteed that the write to LVTT has reached the APIC before the TSC_DEADLINE MSR is written. In such a case the write to the MSR is ignored and as a consequence the local timer interrupt never fires. The SDM decribes this issue for xAPIC and x2APIC modes. The serialization methods recommended by the SDM differ. xAPIC: "1. Memory-mapped write to LVT Timer Register, setting bits 18:17 to 10b. 2. WRMSR to the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR a value much larger than current time-stamp counter. 3. If RDMSR of the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR returns zero, go to step 2. 4. WRMSR to the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR the desired deadline." x2APIC: "To allow for efficient access to the APIC registers in x2APIC mode, the serializing semantics of WRMSR are relaxed when writing to the APIC registers. Thus, system software should not use 'WRMSR to APIC registers in x2APIC mode' as a serializing instruction. Read and write accesses to the APIC registers will occur in program order. A WRMSR to an APIC register may complete before all preceding stores are globally visible; software can prevent this by inserting a serializing instruction, an SFENCE, or an MFENCE before the WRMSR." The xAPIC method is to just wait for the memory mapped write to hit the LVTT by checking whether the MSR write has reached the hardware. There is no reason why a proper MFENCE after the memory mapped write would not do the same. Andi Kleen confirmed that MFENCE is sufficient for the xAPIC case as well. Issue MFENCE before writing to the TSC_DEADLINE MSR. This can be done unconditionally as all CPUs which have TSC_DEADLINE also have MFENCE support.

x86/nmi/64: Use DF to avoid userspace RSP confusing nested NMI detection

2015-10-27T13:33:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit 810bc075f78ff2c221536eb3008eac6a492dba2d ] We have a tricky bug in the nested NMI code: if we see RSP pointing to the NMI stack on NMI entry from kernel mode, we assume that we are executing a nested NMI. This isn't quite true. A malicious userspace program can point RSP at the NMI stack, issue SYSCALL, and arrange for an NMI to happen while RSP is still pointing at the NMI stack. Fix it with a sneaky trick. Set DF in the region of code that the RSP check is intended to detect. IRET will clear DF atomically. ( Note: other than paravirt, there's little need for all this complexity. We could check RIP instead of RSP. ) Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Reviewed-by: Steven Rostedt Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

x86/nmi/64: Reorder nested NMI checks

2015-10-27T13:33:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit a27507ca2d796cfa8d907de31ad730359c8a6d06 ] Check the repeat_nmi .. end_repeat_nmi special case first. The next patch will rework the RSP check and, as a side effect, the RSP check will no longer detect repeat_nmi .. end_repeat_nmi, so we'll need this ordering of the checks. Note: this is more subtle than it appears. The check for repeat_nmi .. end_repeat_nmi jumps straight out of the NMI code instead of adjusting the "iret" frame to force a repeat. This is necessary, because the code between repeat_nmi and end_repeat_nmi sets "NMI executing" and then writes to the "iret" frame itself. If a nested NMI comes in and modifies the "iret" frame while repeat_nmi is also modifying it, we'll end up with garbage. The old code got this right, as does the new code, but the new code is a bit more explicit. If we were to move the check right after the "NMI executing" check, then we'd get it wrong and have random crashes. ( Because the "NMI executing" check would jump to the code that would modify the "iret" frame without checking if the interrupted NMI was currently modifying it. ) Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Reviewed-by: Steven Rostedt Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin
