commit 276e93279a630657fff4b086ba14c95955912dfa upstream.

This backport has a minor difference from the upstream commit: it adds
the asm-uaccess.h file, which is not present in 4.9, because 4.9 does
not have commit b4b8664d291a ("arm64: don't pull uaccess.h into *.S").

Original patch description:

When handling a data abort from EL0, we currently zero the top byte of
the faulting address, as we assume the address is a TTBR0 address, which
may contain a non-zero address tag. However, the address may be a TTBR1
address, in which case we should not zero the top byte. This patch fixes
that. The effect is that the full TTBR1 address is passed to the task's
signal handler (or printed out in the kernel log).

When handling a data abort from EL1, we leave the faulting address
intact, as we assume it's either a TTBR1 address or a TTBR0 address with
tag 0x00. This is true as far as I'm aware, we don't seem to access a
tagged TTBR0 address anywhere in the kernel. Regardless, it's easy to
forget about address tags, and code added in the future may not always
remember to remove tags from addresses before accessing them. So add tag
handling to the EL1 data abort handler as well. This also makes it
consistent with the EL0 data abort handler.

Fixes: d50240a5f6ce ("arm64: mm: permit use of tagged pointers at EL0")

<title>arm64: avoid returning from bad_mode</title>

commit 7d9e8f71b989230bc613d121ca38507d34ada849 upstream.

Generally, taking an unexpected exception should be a fatal event, and
bad_mode is intended to cater for this. However, it should be possible
to contain unexpected synchronous exceptions from EL0 without bringing
the kernel down, by sending a SIGILL to the task.

We tried to apply this approach in commit 9955ac47f4ba1c95 ("arm64:
don't kill the kernel on a bad esr from el0"), by sending a signal for
any bad_mode call resulting from an EL0 exception.

However, this also applies to other unexpected exceptions, such as
SError and FIQ. The entry paths for these exceptions branch to bad_mode
without configuring the link register, and have no kernel_exit. Thus, if
we take one of these exceptions from EL0, bad_mode will eventually
return to the original user link register value.

This patch fixes this by introducing a new bad_el0_sync handler to cater
for the recoverable case, and restoring bad_mode to its original state,
whereby it calls panic() and never returns. The recoverable case
branches to bad_el0_sync with a bl, and returns to userspace via the
usual ret_to_user mechanism.

Make use of the new alternative_if and alternative_else_nop_endif and
get rid of our homebew NOP sleds, making the code simpler to read.

Note that for cpu_do_switch_mm the ret has been moved out of the
alternative sequence, and in the default case there will be three
additional NOPs executed.

<title>arm64: kernel: do not need to reset UAO on exception entry</title>

Commit e19a6ee2460b ("arm64: kernel: Save and restore UAO and
addr_limit on exception entry") states that exception handler inherits
the original PSTATE.UAO value, so UAO needes to be reset
explicitly. However, ARM 8.2 Extension documentation says:

PSTATE.UAO is copied to SPSR_ELx.UAO and is then set to 0 on an
exception taken from AArch64 to AArch64

so hardware already does the right thing.

<title>arm64: factor work_pending state machine to C</title>

Currently ret_fast_syscall, work_pending, and ret_to_user form an ad-hoc
state machine that can be difficult to reason about due to duplicated
code and a large number of branch targets.

This patch factors the common logic out into the existing
do_notify_resume function, converting the code to C in the process,
making the code more legible.

This patch tries to closely mirror the existing behaviour while using
the usual C control flow primitives. As local_irq_{disable,enable} may
be instrumented, we balance exception entry (where we will almost most
likely enable IRQs) with a call to trace_hardirqs_on just before the
return to userspace.

Executing from a non-executable area gives an ugly message:

The 'IABT (current EL)' indicates the error but it's a bit cryptic
without knowledge of the ARM ARM. There is also no indication of the
specific address which triggered the fault. The increase in kernel
page permissions makes hitting this case more likely as well.
Handling the case in the vectors gives a much more familiar looking
error message:

Entry symbols are not kprobe safe. So blacklist them for kprobing.

<title>arm64: kernel: Save and restore UAO and addr_limit on exception entry</title>

If we take an exception while at EL1, the exception handler inherits
the original context's addr_limit and PSTATE.UAO values. To be consistent
always reset addr_limit and PSTATE.UAO on (re-)entry to EL1. This
prevents accidental re-use of the original context's addr_limit.

Based on a similar patch for arm from Russell King.
