arm64: kasan: clear stale stack poison

2016-03-09T23:43:42+00:00

Functions which the compiler has instrumented for KASAN place poison on
the stack shadow upon entry and remove this poison prior to returning.

In the case of cpuidle, CPUs exit the kernel a number of levels deep in
C code.  Any instrumented functions on this critical path will leave
portions of the stack shadow poisoned.

If CPUs lose context and return to the kernel via a cold path, we
restore a prior context saved in __cpu_suspend_enter are forgotten, and
we never remove the poison they placed in the stack shadow area by
functions calls between this and the actual exit of the kernel.

Thus, (depending on stackframe layout) subsequent calls to instrumented
functions may hit this stale poison, resulting in (spurious) KASAN
splats to the console.

To avoid this, clear any stale poison from the idle thread for a CPU
prior to bringing a CPU online.

arm64/efi: Make strnlen() available to the EFI namespace

2016-02-16T10:32:10+00:00

Changes introduced in the upstream version of libfdt pulled in by commit
91feabc2e224 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream commit b06e55c88b9b") use
the strnlen() function, which isn't currently available to the EFI name-
space. Add it to the EFI namespace to avoid a linker error.

arm64: make irq_stack_ptr more robust

2016-02-12T15:53:51+00:00

Switching between stacks is only valid if we are tracing ourselves while on the
irq_stack, so it is only valid when in current and non-preemptible context,
otherwise is is just zeroed off.

arm64: debug: re-enable irqs before sending breakpoint SIGTRAP

2016-02-10T16:05:28+00:00

force_sig_info can sleep under an -rt kernel, so attempting to send a
breakpoint SIGTRAP with interrupts disabled yields the following BUG:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at

This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that interrupts are enabled
prior to sending the SIGTRAP if they were already enabled in the user
context.

Since the shadow byte pointed by the report is 0, so it may mean it is just hit
oob in non-current task. So, disable the instrumentation to silence these
warnings.

arm64: kernel: fix architected PMU registers unconditional access

2016-01-25T11:09:06+00:00

The Performance Monitors extension is an optional feature of the
AArch64 architecture, therefore, in order to access Performance
Monitors registers safely, the kernel should detect the architected
PMU unit presence through the ID_AA64DFR0_EL1 register PMUVer field
before accessing them.

This patch implements a guard by reading the ID_AA64DFR0_EL1 register
PMUVer field to detect the architected PMU presence and prevent accessing
PMU system registers if the Performance Monitors extension is not
implemented in the core.

arm64: hide __efistub_ aliases from kallsyms

2016-01-25T11:09:04+00:00

Commit e8f3010f7326 ("arm64/efi: isolate EFI stub from the kernel
proper") isolated the EFI stub code from the kernel proper by prefixing
all of its symbols with __efistub_, and selectively allowing access to
core kernel symbols from the stub by emitting __efistub_ aliases for
functions and variables that the stub can access legally.

As an unintended side effect, these aliases are emitted into the
kallsyms symbol table, which means they may turn up in backtraces,
e.g.,

  ...
  PC is at __efistub_memset+0x108/0x200
  LR is at fixup_init+0x3c/0x48
  ...
  [] __efistub_memset+0x108/0x200
  [] free_initmem+0x2c/0x40
  [] kernel_init+0x20/0xe0
  [] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x40

The backtrace in question has nothing to do with the EFI stub, but
simply returns one of the several aliases of memset() that have been
recorded in the kallsyms table. This is undesirable, since it may
suggest to people who are not aware of this that the issue they are
seeing is somehow EFI related.

So hide the __efistub_ aliases from kallsyms, by emitting them as
absolute linker symbols explicitly. The distinction between those
and section relative symbols is completely irrelevant to these
definitions, and to the final link we are performing when these
definitions are being taken into account (the distinction is only
relevant to symbols defined inside a section definition when performing
a partial link), and so the resulting values are identical to the
original ones. Since absolute symbols are ignored by kallsyms, this
will result in these values to be omitted from its symbol table.

After this patch, the backtrace generated from the same address looks
like this:
  ...
  PC is at __memset+0x108/0x200
  LR is at fixup_init+0x3c/0x48
  ...
  [] __memset+0x108/0x200
  [] free_initmem+0x2c/0x40
  [] kernel_init+0x20/0xe0
  [] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x40

arm64: insn: remove BUG_ON from codegen

2016-01-18T00:15:26+00:00

During code generation, we used to BUG_ON unknown/unsupported encoding
or invalid parameters.

Instead, now we report these as errors and simply return the
instruction AARCH64_BREAK_FAULT. Users of these codegen helpers should
check for and handle this failure condition as appropriate.

Otherwise, unhandled codegen failure will result in trapping at
run-time due to AARCH64_BREAK_FAULT, which is arguably better than a
BUG_ON.
