Commit a3c0f84765bb429ba0fd23de1c57b5e1591c9389 upstream.

Spectre variant 1 attacks are about this sequence of pseudo-code:

	index = load(user-manipulated pointer);
	access(base + index * stride);

In order for the cache side-channel to work, the access() must me made
to memory which userspace can detect whether cache lines have been
loaded.  On 32-bit ARM, this must be either user accessible memory, or
a kernel mapping of that same user accessible memory.

The problem occurs when the load() speculatively loads privileged data,
and the subsequent access() is made to user accessible memory.

Any load() which makes use of a user-maniplated pointer is a potential
problem if the data it has loaded is used in a subsequent access.  This
also applies for the access() if the data loaded by that access is used
by a subsequent access.

Harden the get_user() accessors against Spectre attacks by forcing out
of bounds addresses to a NULL pointer.  This prevents get_user() being
used as the load() step above.  As a side effect, put_user() will also
be affected even though it isn't implicated.

Also harden copy_from_user() by redoing the bounds check within the
arm_copy_from_user() code, and NULLing the pointer if out of bounds.

<content type='text'>
commit 0d73c3f8e7f6ee2aab1bb350f60c180f5ae21a2c upstream.

Since do_undefinstr() uses get_user to get the undefined
instruction, it can be called before kprobes processes
recursive check. This can cause an infinit recursive
exception.
Prohibit probing on get_user functions.

commit 8bafae202c82dc257f649ea3c275a0f35ee15113 upstream.

Detect if we are returning to usermode via the normal kernel exit paths
but the saved PSR value indicates that we are in kernel mode.  This
could occur due to corrupted stack state, which has been observed with
"ftracetest".

This ensures that we catch the problem case before we get to user code.

<content type='text'>
With the new task struct randomization, we can run into a build
failure for certain random seeds, which will place fields beyond
the allow immediate size in the assembly:

arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S:803: Error: bad immediate value for offset (4096)

Only two constants in asm-offset.h are affected, and I'm changing
both of them here to work correctly in all configurations.

One more macro has the problem, but is currently unused, so this
removes it instead of adding complexity.

Commit 8e43a905 "ARM: 7325/1: fix v7 boot with lockdep enabled"
introduced notrace variant of save_and_disable_irqs to balance notrace
variant of restore_irqs; however V7M case has been missed. It was not
noticed because cache-v7.S the only place where notrace variant is used.
So fix it, since we are going to extend V7 cache routines to handle V7M
case too.
