ARC: Re-enable MMU upon Machine Check exception

2017-11-26T13:50:29+00:00

commit 1ee55a8f7f6b7ca4c0c59e0b4b4e3584a085c2d3 upstream.

I recently came upon a scenario where I would get a double fault
machine check exception tiriggered by a kernel module.
However the ensuing crash stacktrace (ksym lookup) was not working
correctly.

Turns out that machine check auto-disables MMU while modules are allocated
in kernel vaddr spapce.

This patch re-enables the MMU before start printing the stacktrace
making stacktracing of modules work upon a fatal exception.

ARC: [arcompact] handle unaligned access delay slot corner case

2017-03-16T02:27:07+00:00

commit 9aed02feae57bf7a40cb04ea0e3017cb7a998db4 upstream.

After emulating an unaligned access in delay slot of a branch, we
pretend as the delay slot never happened - so return back to actual
branch target (or next PC if branch was not taken).

Curently we did this by handling STATUS32.DE, we also need to clear the
BTA.T bit, which is disregarded when returning from original misaligned
exception, but could cause weirdness if it took the interrupt return
path (in case interrupt was acive too)

One ARC700 customer ran into this when enabling unaligned access fixup
for kernel mode accesses as well

arc: don't leak bits of kernel stack into coredump

2017-02-23T03:54:00+00:00

commit 7798bf2140ebcc36eafec6a4194fffd8d585d471 upstream.

On faulting sigreturn we do get SIGSEGV, all right, but anything
we'd put into pt_regs could end up in the coredump.  And since
__copy_from_user() never zeroed on arc, we'd better bugger off
on its failure without copying random uninitialized bits of
kernel stack into pt_regs...

arc: unwind: warn only once if DW2_UNWIND is disabled

2016-08-22T21:38:22+00:00

commit 9bd54517ee86cb164c734f72ea95aeba4804f10b upstream.

If CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND is disabled every time arc_unwind_core()
gets called following message gets printed in debug console:
----------------->8---------------
CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND needs to be enabled
----------------->8---------------

That message makes sense if user indeed wants to see a backtrace or
get nice function call-graphs in perf but what if user disabled
unwinder for the purpose? Why pollute his debug console?

So instead we'll warn user about possibly missing feature once and
let him decide if that was what he or she really wanted.

ARC: dw2 unwind: Ignore CIE version !=1 gracefully instead of bailing

2016-01-25T10:43:41+00:00

commit 323f41f9e7d0cb5b1d1586aded6682855f1e646d upstream.

ARC dwarf unwinder only supports CIE version == 1
The boot time dwarf sanitizer (part of binary lookup table constructor)
would simply bail if it saw CIE version == 3, rendering unwinder with a
NULL lookup table.

It seems libgcc linked with kernel does have such entries.

With fallback linear search removed, and a NULL binary lookup table,
unwinder fails to generate any stack trace.

So allow graceful ignoring of unsupported CIE entries.

This problem was initially seen in Alexey's setup (and not mine) as he
was using buildroot built toolchain (libgcc) which doesn't get built with
CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET="-gdwarf-2 which is my default

ARC: dw2 unwind: Reinstante unwinding out of modules

2016-01-25T10:43:40+00:00

commit bc79c9a7216562a2035d2f64f73626613c1300d0 upstream.

The fix which removed linear searching of dwarf (because binary lookup
data always exists) missed out on the fact that modules don't get the
binary lookup tables info. This caused unwinding out of modules to stop
working.

So add binary lookup header setup (equivalent of eh_frame_hdr setup) to
modules as well.

While at it, confine the header setup to within unwinder code,
reducing one API exposed out of unwinder code.

ARC: dw2 unwind: Remove falllback linear search thru FDE entries

commit 2e22502c080f27afeab5e6f11e618fb7bc7aea53 upstream.

Fixes STAR 9000953410: "perf callgraph profiling causing RCU stalls"

| perf record -g -c 15000 -e cycles /sbin/hackbench
|
| INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU
| 1: (1 GPs behind) idle=609/140000000000002/0 softirq=2914/2915 fqs=603
| Task dump for CPU 1:

in-kernel dwarf unwinder has a fast binary lookup and a fallback linear
search (which iterates thru each of ~11K entries) thus takes 2 orders of
magnitude longer (~3 million cycles vs. 2000). Routines written in hand
assembler lack dwarf info (as we don't support assembler CFI pseudo-ops
yet) fail the unwinder binary lookup, hit linear search, failing
nevertheless in the end.

However the linear search is pointless as binary lookup tables are created
from it in first place. It is impossible to have binary lookup fail while
succeed the linear search. It is pure waste of cycles thus removed by
this patch.

This manifested as RCU stalls / NMI watchdog splat when running
hackbench under perf with callgraph profiling. The triggering condition
was perf counter overflowing in routine lacking dwarf info (like memset)
leading to patheic 3 million cycle unwinder slow path and by the time it
returned new interrupts were already pending (Timer, IPI) and taken
rightaway. The original memset didn't make forward progress, system kept
accruing more interrupts and more unwinder delayes in a vicious feedback
loop, ultimately triggering the NMI diagnostic.

ARC: signal handling robustify

2015-05-12T08:36:34+00:00

commit e4140819dadc3624accac8294881bca8a3cba4ed upstream.

A malicious signal handler / restorer can DOS the system by fudging the
user regs saved on stack, causing weird things such as sigreturn returning
to user mode PC but cpu state still being kernel mode....

Ensure that in sigreturn path status32 always has U bit; any other bogosity
(gargbage PC etc) will be taken care of by normal user mode exceptions mechanisms.

Reproducer signal handler:

    void handle_sig(int signo, siginfo_t *info, void *context)
    {
	ucontext_t *uc = context;
	struct user_regs_struct *regs = &(uc->uc_mcontext.regs);

	regs->scratch.status32 = 0;
    }

Before the fix, kernel would go off to weeds like below:

ARC: SA_SIGINFO ucontext regs off-by-one

2015-04-10T09:04:07+00:00

commit 6914e1e3f63caa829431160f0f7093292daef2d5 upstream.

The regfile provided to SA_SIGINFO signal handler as ucontext was off by
one due to pt_regs gutter cleanups in 2013.

Before handling signal, user pt_regs are copied onto user_regs_struct and copied
back later. Both structs are binary compatible. This was all fine until
commit 2fa919045b72 (ARC: pt_regs update #2) which removed the empty stack slot
at top of pt_regs (corresponding to first pad) and made the corresponding
fixup in struct user_regs_struct (the pad in there was moved out of
@scratch - not removed altogether as it is part of ptrace ABI)

 struct user_regs_struct {
+       long pad;
        struct {
-               long pad;
                long bta, lp_start, lp_end,....
        } scratch;
 ...
 }

This meant that now user_regs_struct was off by 1 reg w.r.t pt_regs and
signal code needs to user_regs_struct.scratch to reflect it as pt_regs,
which is what this commit does.

This problem was hidden for 2 years, because both save/restore, despite
using wrong location, were using the same location. Only an interim
inspection (reproducer below) exposed the issue.

     void handle_segv(int signo, siginfo_t *info, void *context)
     {
 	ucontext_t *uc = context;
	struct user_regs_struct *regs = &(uc->uc_mcontext.regs);

	printf("regs %x %x\n",               <=== prints 7 8 (vs. 8 9)
               regs->scratch.r8, regs->scratch.r9);
     }

     int main()
     {
	struct sigaction sa;

	sa.sa_sigaction = handle_segv;
	sa.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO;
	sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);
	sigaction(SIGSEGV, &sa, NULL);

	asm volatile(
	"mov	r7, 7	\n"
	"mov	r8, 8	\n"
	"mov	r9, 9	\n"
	"mov	r10, 10	\n"
	:::"r7","r8","r9","r10");

	*((unsigned int*)0x10) = 0;
     }
