commit a06f818a70de21b4b3b4186816094208fc7accf9 upstream.

__show_regs pretty prints PC and LR by attempting to map them to kernel
function names to improve the utility of crash reports. Unfortunately,
this mapping is applied even when the pt_regs corresponds to user mode,
resulting in a KASLR oracle.

Avoid this issue by only looking up the function symbols when the register
state indicates that we're actually running at EL1.

commit 4ef7963843d3243260aa335dfb9cb2fede06aacf upstream.

print_symbol() is a very old API that has been obsoleted by %pS format
specifier in a normal printk() call.

Replace print_symbol() with a direct printk("%pS") call.

commit a25ffd3a6302a67814280274d8f1aa4ae2ea4b59 upstream.

Printing raw pointer values in backtraces has potential security
implications and are of questionable value anyway.

This patch follows x86's lead and removes the "Exception stack:" dump
from kernel backtraces, as well as converting PC/LR values to symbols
such as "sysrq_handle_crash+0x20/0x30".

<title>arm64: fpsimd: Prevent registers leaking from dead tasks</title>

commit 071b6d4a5d343046f253a5a8835d477d93992002 upstream.

Currently, loading of a task's fpsimd state into the CPU registers
is skipped if that task's state is already present in the registers
of that CPU.

However, the code relies on the struct fpsimd_state * (and by
extension struct task_struct *) to unambiguously identify a task.

There is a particular case in which this doesn't work reliably:
when a task exits, its task_struct may be recycled to describe a
new task.

Consider the following scenario:

 1) Task P loads its fpsimd state onto cpu C.
        per_cpu(fpsimd_last_state, C) := P;
        P-&gt;thread.fpsimd_state.cpu := C;

 2) Task X is scheduled onto C and loads its fpsimd state on C.
        per_cpu(fpsimd_last_state, C) := X;
        X-&gt;thread.fpsimd_state.cpu := C;

 3) X exits, causing X's task_struct to be freed.

 4) P forks a new child T, which obtains X's recycled task_struct.
	T == X.
	T-&gt;thread.fpsimd_state.cpu == C (inherited from P).

 5) T is scheduled on C.
	T's fpsimd state is not loaded, because
	per_cpu(fpsimd_last_state, C) == T (== X) &amp;&amp;
	T-&gt;thread.fpsimd_state.cpu == C.

        (This is the check performed by fpsimd_thread_switch().)

So, T gets X's registers because the last registers loaded onto C
were those of X, in (2).

This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that the sched-in check
fails in (5): fpsimd_flush_task_state(T) is called when T is
forked, so that T-&gt;thread.fpsimd_state.cpu == C cannot be true.
This relies on the fact that T is not schedulable until after
copy_thread() completes.

Once T's fpsimd state has been loaded on some CPU C there may still
be other cpus D for which per_cpu(fpsimd_last_state, D) ==
&amp;X-&gt;thread.fpsimd_state.  But D is necessarily != C in this case,
and the check in (5) must fail.

An alternative fix would be to do refcounting on task_struct.  This
would result in each CPU holding a reference to the last task whose
fpsimd state was loaded there.  It's not clear whether this is
preferable, and it involves higher overhead than the fix proposed
in this patch.  It would also move all the task_struct freeing
work into the context switch critical section, or otherwise some
deferred cleanup mechanism would need to be introduced, neither of
which seems obviously justified.

commit eb35bdd7bca29a13c8ecd44e6fd747a84ce675db upstream.

Nathan reports that we leak TLS information from the parent context
during an exec, as we don't clear the TLS registers when flushing the
thread state.

This patch updates the flushing code so that we:

  (1) Unconditionally zero the tpidr_el0 register (since this is fully
      context switched for native tasks and zeroed for compat tasks)

  (2) Zero the tp_value state in thread_info before clearing the
      tpidrr0_el0 register for compat tasks (since this is only writable
      by the set_tls compat syscall and therefore not fully switched).

A missing compiler barrier is also added to the compat set_tls syscall.

If one process calls sys_reboot and that process then stops other
CPUs while those CPUs are within a spin_lock() region we can
potentially encounter a deadlock scenario like below.

CPU 0                   CPU 1
-----                   -----
                        spin_lock(my_lock)
smp_send_stop()
 &lt;send IPI&gt;             handle_IPI()
                         disable_preemption/irqs
                          while(1);
 &lt;PREEMPT&gt;
spin_lock(my_lock) &lt;--- Waits forever

We shouldn't attempt to run any other tasks after we send a stop
IPI to a CPU so disable preemption so that this task runs to
completion. We use local_irq_disable() here for cross-arch
consistency with x86.

<id>90f51a09ef83703b6c2e0434e0384b61b59699d3</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch ports most of commit 19ab428f4b79 "ARM: 7759/1: decouple CPU
offlining from reboot/shutdown" by Stephen Warren from arch/arm to
arch/arm64.

machine_shutdown() is a hook for kexec. Add a comment saying so, since
it isn't obvious from the function name.

Halt, power-off, and restart have different requirements re: stopping
secondary CPUs than kexec has. The former simply require the secondary
CPUs to be quiesced somehow, whereas kexec requires them to be
completely non-operational, so that no matter where the kexec target
images are written in RAM, they won't influence operation of the
secondary CPUS,which could happen if the CPUs were still executing some
kind of pin loop. To this end, modify machine_halt, power_off, and
restart to call smp_send_stop() directly, rather than calling
machine_shutdown().

In machine_shutdown(), replace the call to smp_send_stop() with a call
to disable_nonboot_cpus(). This completely disables all but one CPU,
thus satisfying the kexec requirements a couple paragraphs above.

This patch ports most of commit 19ab428f4b79 "ARM: 7759/1: decouple CPU
offlining from reboot/shutdown" by Stephen Warren from arch/arm to
arch/arm64.

machine_shutdown() is a hook for kexec. Add a comment saying so, since
it isn't obvious from the function name.

Halt, power-off, and restart have different requirements re: stopping
secondary CPUs than kexec has. The former simply require the secondary
CPUs to be quiesced somehow, whereas kexec requires them to be
completely non-operational, so that no matter where the kexec target
images are written in RAM, they won't influence operation of the
secondary CPUS,which could happen if the CPUs were still executing some
kind of pin loop. To this end, modify machine_halt, power_off, and
restart to call smp_send_stop() directly, rather than calling
machine_shutdown().

In machine_shutdown(), replace the call to smp_send_stop() with a call
to disable_nonboot_cpus(). This completely disables all but one CPU,
thus satisfying the kexec requirements a couple paragraphs above.

<title>arm64: is_compat_task is defined both in asm/compat.h and linux/compat.h</title>

Some kernel files may include both linux/compat.h and asm/compat.h directly
or indirectly. Since both header files contain is_compat_task() under
!CONFIG_COMPAT, compiling them with !CONFIG_COMPAT will eventually fail.
Such files include kernel/auditsc.c, kernel/seccomp.c and init/do_mountfs.c
(do_mountfs.c may read asm/compat.h via asm/ftrace.h once ftrace is
implemented).

So this patch proactively
1) removes is_compat_task() under !CONFIG_COMPAT from asm/compat.h
2) replaces asm/compat.h to linux/compat.h in kernel/*.c,
   but asm/compat.h is still necessary in ptrace.c and process.c because
   they use is_compat_thread().

When calling our low-level barrier macros directly, we can often suffice
with more relaxed behaviour than the default "all accesses, full system"
option.

This patch updates the users of dsb() to specify the option which they
actually require.
