[ Upstream commit 4e79f0211b473f8e1eab8211a9fd50cc41a3a061 ]

When running in BE mode on LPAE hardware with a PA-to-VA translation
that exceeds 4 GB, we patch bits 39:32 of the offset into the wrong
byte of the opcode. So fix that, by rotating the offset in r0 to the
right by 8 bits, which will put the 8-bit immediate in bits 31:24.

Note that this will also move bit #22 in its correct place when
applying the rotation to the constant #0x400000.

Fixes: d9a790df8e984 ("ARM: 7883/1: fix mov to mvn conversion in case of 64 bit phys_addr_t and BE")

This is commit fdfeff0f9e3d ("arm64: hw_breakpoint: Handle inexact
watchpoint addresses") but ported to arm32, which has the same
problem.

This problem was found by Android CTS tests, notably the
"watchpoint_imprecise" test [1].  I tested locally against a copycat
(simplified) version of the test though.

<title>ARM: 8948/1: Prevent OOB access in stacktrace</title>

[ Upstream commit 40ff1ddb5570284e039e0ff14d7a859a73dc3673 ]

The stacktrace code can read beyond the stack size, when it attempts to
read pt_regs from exception frames.

This can happen on normal, non-corrupt stacks.  Since the unwind
information in the extable is not correct for function prologues, the
unwinding code can return data from the stack which is not actually the
caller function address, and if in_entry_text() happens to succeed on
this value, we can end up reading data from outside the task's stack
when attempting to read pt_regs, since there is no bounds check.

Example:

 [&lt;8010e729&gt;] (unwind_backtrace) from [&lt;8010a9c9&gt;] (show_stack+0x11/0x14)
 [&lt;8010a9c9&gt;] (show_stack) from [&lt;8057d8d7&gt;] (dump_stack+0x87/0xac)

<title>ARM: 8992/1: Fix unwind_frame for clang-built kernels</title>

commit b4d5ec9b39f8b31d98f65bc5577b5d15d93795d7 upstream.

Since clang does not push pc and sp in function prologues, the current
implementation of unwind_frame does not work. By using the previous
frame's lr/fp instead of saved pc/sp we get valid unwinds on clang-built
kernels.

The bounds check on next frame pointer must be changed as well since
there are 8 less bytes between frames.

This fixes /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/stack.

commit eec13b42d41b0f3339dcf0c4da43734427c68620 upstream.

Unprivileged memory accesses generated by the so-called "translated"
instructions (e.g. LDRT) in kernel mode can cause user watchpoints to fire
unexpectedly. In such cases, the hw_breakpoint logic will invoke the user
overflow handler which will typically raise a SIGTRAP back to the current
task. This is futile when returning back to the kernel because (a) the
signal won't have been delivered and (b) userspace can't handle the thing
anyway.

Avoid invoking the user overflow handler for watchpoints triggered by
kernel uaccess routines, and instead single-step over the faulting
instruction as we would if no overflow handler had been installed.

<title>arm64: Introduce a way to disable the 32bit vdso</title>

commit 97884ca8c2925d14c32188e865069f21378b4b4f upstream.

[this is a redesign rather than a backport]

We have a class of errata (grouped under the ARM64_WORKAROUND_1418040
banner) that force the trapping of counter access from 32bit EL0.

We would normally disable the whole vdso for such defect, except that
it would disable it for 64bit userspace as well, which is a shame.

Instead, add a new vdso_clock_mode, which signals that the vdso
isn't usable for compat tasks.  This gets checked in the new
vdso_clocksource_ok() helper, now provided for the 32bit vdso.

[ Upstream commit 3866f217aaa81bf7165c7f27362eee5d7919c496 ]

call_undef_hook() in traps.c applies the same instr_mask for both 16-bit
and 32-bit thumb instructions. If instr_mask then is only 16 bits wide
(0xffff as opposed to 0xffffffff), the first half-word of 32-bit thumb
instructions will be masked out. This makes the function match 32-bit
thumb instructions where the second half-word is equal to instr_val,
regardless of the first half-word.

The result in this case is that all undefined 32-bit thumb instructions
with the second half-word equal to 0xde01 (udf #1) work as breakpoints
and will raise a SIGTRAP instead of a SIGILL, instead of just the one
intended 16-bit instruction. An example of such an instruction is
0xeaa0de01, which is unallocated according to Arm ARM and should raise a
SIGILL, but instead raises a SIGTRAP.

This patch fixes the issue by setting all the bits in instr_mask, which
will still match the intended 16-bit thumb instruction (where the
upper half is always 0), but not any 32-bit thumb instructions.

[ Upstream commit 747ffc2fcf969eff9309d7f2d1d61cb8b9e1bb40 ]

Consolidate the user access assembly code to asm/uaccess-asm.h.  This
moves the csdb, check_uaccess, uaccess_mask_range_ptr, uaccess_enable,
uaccess_disable, uaccess_save, uaccess_restore macros, and creates two
new ones for exception entry and exit - uaccess_entry and uaccess_exit.

This makes the uaccess_save and uaccess_restore macros private to
asm/uaccess-asm.h.

<title>ARM: 8957/1: VDSO: Match ARMv8 timer in cntvct_functional()</title>

commit 45939ce292b4b11159719faaf60aba7d58d5fe33 upstream.

It is possible for a system with an ARMv8 timer to run a 32-bit kernel.
When this happens we will unconditionally have the vDSO code remove the
__vdso_gettimeofday and __vdso_clock_gettime symbols because
cntvct_functional() returns false since it does not match that
compatibility string.

[ Upstream commit 6849b5eba1965ceb0cad3a75877ef4569dd3638e ]

Updates to the Generic Timer architecture allow ID_PFR1.GenTimer to
have values other than 0 or 1 while still preserving backward
compatibility. At the moment, Linux is quite strict in the way it
handles this field at early boot and will not configure arch timer if
it doesn't find the value 1.

Since here use ubfx for arch timer version extraction (hyb-stub build
with -march=armv7-a, so it is safe)

To help backports (even though the code was correct at the time of writing)
