It is safer and simpler to drop the uaccess assembly macros in favour of
inline C functions. Although this bloats the Image size slightly, it
aligns our user copy routines with '{get,put}_user()' and generally
makes the code a lot easier to reason about.

<title>arm64: uaccess: Ensure PAN is re-enabled after unhandled uaccess fault</title>

<id>94bb804e1e6f0a9a77acf20d7c70ea141c6c821e</id>
<content type='text'>
A number of our uaccess routines ('__arch_clear_user()' and
'__arch_copy_{in,from,to}_user()') fail to re-enable PAN if they
encounter an unhandled fault whilst accessing userspace.

For CPUs implementing both hardware PAN and UAO, this bug has no effect
when both extensions are in use by the kernel.

For CPUs implementing hardware PAN but not UAO, this means that a kernel
using hardware PAN may execute portions of code with PAN inadvertently
disabled, opening us up to potential security vulnerabilities that rely
on userspace access from within the kernel which would usually be
prevented by this mechanism. In other words, parts of the kernel run the
same way as they would on a CPU without PAN implemented/emulated at all.

For CPUs not implementing hardware PAN and instead relying on software
emulation via 'CONFIG_ARM64_SW_TTBR0_PAN=y', the impact is unfortunately
much worse. Calling 'schedule()' with software PAN disabled means that
the next task will execute in the kernel using the page-table and ASID
of the previous process even after 'switch_mm()', since the actual
hardware switch is deferred until return to userspace. At this point, or
if there is a intermediate call to 'uaccess_enable()', the page-table
and ASID of the new process are installed. Sadly, due to the changes
introduced by KPTI, this is not an atomic operation and there is a very
small window (two instructions) where the CPU is configured with the
page-table of the old task and the ASID of the new task; a speculative
access in this state is disastrous because it would corrupt the TLB
entries for the new task with mappings from the previous address space.

As Pavel explains:

  | I was able to reproduce memory corruption problem on Broadcom's SoC
  | ARMv8-A like this:
  |
  | Enable software perf-events with PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN so userland's
  | stack is accessed and copied.
  |
  | The test program performed the following on every CPU and forking
  | many processes:
  |
  |	unsigned long *map = mmap(NULL, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
  |				  MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
  |	map[0] = getpid();
  |	sched_yield();
  |	if (map[0] != getpid()) {
  |		fprintf(stderr, "Corruption detected!");
  |	}
  |	munmap(map, PAGE_SIZE);
  |
  | From time to time I was getting map[0] to contain pid for a
  | different process.

Ensure that PAN is re-enabled when returning after an unhandled user
fault from our uaccess routines.

<content type='text'>
Inspired by the commit 7cd01b08d35f ("powerpc: Add support for function
error injection"), this patch supports function error injection for
Arm64.

This patch mainly support two functions: one is regs_set_return_value()
which is used to overwrite the return value; the another function is
override_function_with_return() which is to override the probed
function returning and jump to its caller.

For a while now it's been possible to use EXPORT_SYMBOL() in assembly
files, which allows us to place exports immediately after assembly
functions, as we do for C functions.

As a step towards removing arm64ksyms.c, let's move the string routine
exports to the assembly files the functions are defined in. Routines
which should only be exported for !KASAN builds are exported using the
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOKASAN() helper.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

files, which allows us to place exports immediately after assembly
functions, as we do for C functions.

As a step towards removing arm64ksyms.c, let's move the uaccess exports
to the assembly files the functions are defined in.  As we have to
include &lt;asm/assembler.h&gt;, the existing includes are fixed to follow the
usual ordering conventions.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

For a while now it's been possible to use EXPORT_SYMBOL() in assembly
files, which allows us to place exports immediately after assembly
functions, as we do for C functions.

As a step towards removing arm64ksyms.c, let's move the uaccess exports
to the assembly files the functions are defined in.  As we have to
include &lt;asm/assembler.h&gt;, the existing includes are fixed to follow the
usual ordering conventions.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
