commit df909df0770779f1a5560c2bb641a2809655ef28 upstream.

ARM: kasan: Fix __get_user_check failure with kasan

In macro __get_user_check defined in arch/arm/include/asm/uaccess.h,
error code is store in register int __e(r0). When kasan is
enabled, assigning value to kernel address might trigger kasan check,
which unexpectedly overwrites r0 and causes undefined behavior on arm
kasan images.

One example is failure in do_futex and results in process soft lockup.
Log:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 62946ms! [rs:main
Q:Reg:1151]
...
(__asan_store4) from (futex_wait_setup+0xf8/0x2b4)

(do_futex) from (sys_futex_time32+0x178/0x230)
(sys_futex_time32) from (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x50)

The soft lockup happens in function futex_wait_setup. The reason is
function get_futex_value_locked always return EINVAL, thus pc jump
back to retry label and causes looping.

This line in function get_futex_value_locked
	ret = __get_user(*dest, from);
is expanded to
	*dest = (typeof(*(p))) __r2; ,
in macro __get_user_check. Writing to pointer dest triggers kasan check
and overwrites the return value of __get_user_x function.
The assembly code of get_futex_value_locked in kernel/futex.c:
...
c01f6dc8:       eb0b020e        bl      c04b7608 &lt;__get_user_4&gt;
// "x = (typeof(*(p))) __r2;" triggers kasan check and r0 is overwritten
c01f6dCc:       e1a00007        mov     r0, r7
c01f6dd0:       e1a05002        mov     r5, r2
c01f6dd4:       eb04f1e6        bl      c0333574 &lt;__asan_store4&gt;
c01f6dd8:       e5875000        str     r5, [r7]
// save ret value of __get_user(*dest, from), which is dest address now
c01f6ddc:       e1a05000        mov     r5, r0
...
// checking return value of __get_user failed
c01f6e00:       e3550000        cmp     r5, #0
...
c01f6e0c:       01a00005        moveq   r0, r5
// assign return value to EINVAL
c01f6e10:       13e0000d        mvnne   r0, #13

Return value is the destination address of get_user thus certainly
non-zero, so get_futex_value_locked always return EINVAL.

Fix it by using a tmp vairable to store the error code before the
assignment. This fix has no effects to non-kasan images thanks to compiler
optimization. It only affects cases that overwrite r0 due to kasan check.

This should fix bug discussed in Link:

<title>ARM: cpuidle: Avoid orphan section warning</title>

commit d94b93a9101573eb75b819dee94b1417acff631b upstream.

Since commit 83109d5d5fba ("x86/build: Warn on orphan section placement"),
we get a warning for objects in orphan sections. The cpuidle implementation
for OMAP causes this when CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is disabled:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `__cpuidle_method_of_table' from `arch/arm/mach-omap2/pm33xx-core.o' being placed in section `__cpuidle_method_of_table'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `__cpuidle_method_of_table' from `arch/arm/mach-omap2/pm33xx-core.o' being placed in section `__cpuidle_method_of_table'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `__cpuidle_method_of_table' from `arch/arm/mach-omap2/pm33xx-core.o' being placed in section `__cpuidle_method_of_table'

Change the definition of CPUIDLE_METHOD_OF_DECLARE() to silently
drop the table and all code referenced from it when CONFIG_CPU_IDLE
is disabled.

commit d94b93a9101573eb75b819dee94b1417acff631b upstream.

Since commit 83109d5d5fba ("x86/build: Warn on orphan section placement"),
we get a warning for objects in orphan sections. The cpuidle implementation
for OMAP causes this when CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is disabled:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `__cpuidle_method_of_table' from `arch/arm/mach-omap2/pm33xx-core.o' being placed in section `__cpuidle_method_of_table'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `__cpuidle_method_of_table' from `arch/arm/mach-omap2/pm33xx-core.o' being placed in section `__cpuidle_method_of_table'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `__cpuidle_method_of_table' from `arch/arm/mach-omap2/pm33xx-core.o' being placed in section `__cpuidle_method_of_table'

Change the definition of CPUIDLE_METHOD_OF_DECLARE() to silently
drop the table and all code referenced from it when CONFIG_CPU_IDLE
is disabled.

commit fc2933c133744305236793025b00c2f7d258b687 upstream

Commit

  149a3ffe62b9dbc3 ("9012/1: move device tree mapping out of linear region")

created a permanent, read-only section mapping of the device tree blob
provided by the firmware, and added a set of macros to get the base and
size of the virtually mapped FDT based on the physical address. However,
while the mapping code uses the SECTION_SIZE macro correctly, the macros
use PMD_SIZE instead, which means something entirely different on ARM when
using short descriptors, and is therefore not the right quantity to use
here. So replace PMD_SIZE with SECTION_SIZE. While at it, change the names
of the macro and its parameter to clarify that it returns the virtual
address of the start of the FDT, based on the physical address in memory.

commit 7a1be318f5795cb66fa0dc86b3ace427fe68057f upstream

On ARM, setting up the linear region is tricky, given the constraints
around placement and alignment of the memblocks, and how the kernel
itself as well as the DT are placed in physical memory.

Let's simplify matters a bit, by moving the device tree mapping to the
top of the address space, right between the end of the vmalloc region
and the start of the the fixmap region, and create a read-only mapping
for it that is independent of the size of the linear region, and how it
is organized.

Since this region was formerly used as a guard region, which will now be
populated fully on LPAE builds by this read-only mapping (which will
still be able to function as a guard region for stray writes), bump the
start of the [underutilized] fixmap region by 512 KB as well, to ensure
that there is always a proper guard region here. Doing so still leaves
ample room for the fixmap space, even with NR_CPUS set to its maximum
value of 32.

commit e9a2f8b599d0bc22a1b13e69527246ac39c697b4 upstream

Before moving the DT mapping out of the linear region, let's prepare
for this change by removing all the phys-to-virt translations of the
__atags_pointer variable, and perform this translation only once at
setup time.

commit 0b1674638a5c69cbace63278625c199100955490 upstream.

Like arm64, ARM supports position independent code sequences that
produce symbol references with a greater reach than the ordinary
adr/ldr instructions. Since on ARM, the adrl pseudo-instruction is
only supported in ARM mode (and not at all when using Clang), having
a adr_l macro like we do on arm64 is useful, and increases symmetry
as well.

Currently, we use open coded instruction sequences involving literals
and arithmetic operations. Instead, we can use movw/movt pairs on v7
CPUs, circumventing the D-cache entirely.

E.g., on v7+ CPUs, we can emit a PC-relative reference as follows:

       movw         &lt;reg&gt;, #:lower16:&lt;sym&gt; - (1f + 8)
       movt         &lt;reg&gt;, #:upper16:&lt;sym&gt; - (1f + 8)
  1:   add          &lt;reg&gt;, &lt;reg&gt;, pc

For older CPUs, we can emit the literal into a subsection, allowing it
to be emitted out of line while retaining the ability to perform
arithmetic on label offsets.

E.g., on pre-v7 CPUs, we can emit a PC-relative reference as follows:

       ldr          &lt;reg&gt;, 2f
  1:   add          &lt;reg&gt;, &lt;reg&gt;, pc
       .subsection  1
  2:   .long        &lt;sym&gt; - (1b + 8)
       .previous

This is allowed by the assembler because, unlike ordinary sections,
subsections are combined into a single section in the object file, and
so the label references are not true cross-section references that are
visible as relocations. (Subsections have been available in binutils
since 2004 at least, so they should not cause any issues with older
toolchains.)

So use the above to implement the macros mov_l, adr_l, ldr_l and str_l,
all of which will use movw/movt pairs on v7 and later CPUs, and use
PC-relative literals otherwise.

[ Upstream commit 4d62e81b60d4025e2dfcd5ea531cc1394ce9226f ]

Giancarlo Ferrari reports the following oops while trying to use kexec:

 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 80112f38
 pgd = fd7ef03e
 [80112f38] *pgd=0001141e(bad)
 Internal error: Oops: 80d [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
 ...

This is caused by machine_kexec() trying to set the kernel text to be
read/write, so it can poke values into the relocation code before
copying it - and an interrupt occuring which changes the page tables.
The subsequent writes then hit read-only sections that trigger a
data abort resulting in the above oops.

Fix this by copying the relocation code, and then writing the variables
into the destination, thereby avoiding the need to make the kernel text
read/write.
