<title>randomize_kstack: Unify random source across arches</title>

<id>a96ef5848cb096226bf6aff31a90d8b136d99b71</id>
<content type='text'>
Previously different architectures were using random sources of
differing strength and cost to decide the random kstack offset. A number
of architectures (loongarch, powerpc, s390, x86) were using their
timestamp counter, at whatever the frequency happened to be. Other
arches (arm64, riscv) were using entropy from the crng via
get_random_u16().

There have been concerns that in some cases the timestamp counters may
be too weak, because they can be easily guessed or influenced by user
space. And get_random_u16() has been shown to be too costly for the
level of protection kstack offset randomization provides.

So let's use a common, architecture-agnostic source of entropy; a
per-cpu prng, seeded at boot-time from the crng. This has a few
benefits:

  - We can remove choose_random_kstack_offset(); That was only there to
    try to make the timestamp counter value a bit harder to influence
    from user space [*].

  - The architecture code is simplified. All it has to do now is call
    add_random_kstack_offset() in the syscall path.

  - The strength of the randomness can be reasoned about independently
    of the architecture.

  - Arches previously using get_random_u16() now have much faster
    syscall paths, see below results.

[*] Additionally, this gets rid of some redundant work on s390 and x86.
Before this patch, those architectures called
choose_random_kstack_offset() under arch_exit_to_user_mode_prepare(),
which is also called for exception returns to userspace which were *not*
syscalls (e.g. regular interrupts). Getting rid of
choose_random_kstack_offset() avoids a small amount of redundant work
for the non-syscall cases.

In some configurations, add_random_kstack_offset() will now call
instrumentable code, so for a couple of arches, I have moved the call a
bit later to the first point where instrumentation is allowed. This
doesn't impact the efficacy of the mechanism.

There have been some claims that a prng may be less strong than the
timestamp counter if not regularly reseeded. But the prng has a period
of about 2^113. So as long as the prng state remains secret, it should
not be possible to guess. If the prng state can be accessed, we have
bigger problems.

Additionally, we are only consuming 6 bits to randomize the stack, so
there are only 64 possible random offsets. I assert that it would be
trivial for an attacker to brute force by repeating their attack and
waiting for the random stack offset to be the desired one. The prng
approach seems entirely proportional to this level of protection.

Performance data are provided below. The baseline is v6.18 with rndstack
on for each respective arch. (I)/(R) indicate statistically significant
improvement/regression. arm64 platform is AWS Graviton3 (m7g.metal).
x86_64 platform is AWS Sapphire Rapids (m7i.24xlarge):

I tested an earlier version of this change on x86 bare metal and it
showed a smaller but still significant improvement. The bare metal
system wasn't available this time around so testing was done in a VM
instance. I'm guessing the cost of rdtsc is higher for VMs.

Add support of kernel stack offset randomization while handling syscall,
the offset is defaultly limited by KSTACK_OFFSET_MAX().

In order to avoid triggering stack canaries (due to __builtin_alloca())
and slowing down the entry path, use __no_stack_protector attribute to
disable stack protector for do_syscall() at function level.

With this patch, the REPORT_STACK test show that:

	`loongarch64 bits of stack entropy: 7`

The uapi/asm/unistd_64.h and asm/syscall_table_64.h headers can now be
generated from scripts/syscall.tbl, which makes this consistent with
the other architectures that have their own syscall.tbl.

Unlike the other architectures using the asm-generic header, loongarch
uses none of the deprecated system calls at the moment.

Both the user visible side of asm/unistd.h and the internal syscall
table in the kernel should have the same effective contents after this.

<title>syscalls: mmap(): use unsigned offset type consistently</title>

Most architectures that implement the old-style mmap() with byte offset
use 'unsigned long' as the type for that offset, but microblaze and
riscv have the off_t type that is shared with userspace, matching the
prototype in include/asm-generic/syscalls.h.

Make this consistent by using an unsigned argument everywhere. This
changes the behavior slightly, as the argument is shifted to a page
number, and an user input with the top bit set would result in a
negative page offset rather than a large one as we use elsewhere.

For riscv, the 32-bit sys_mmap2() definition actually used a custom
type that is different from the global declaration, but this was
missed due to an incorrect type check.
