exit: Add and use make_task_dead.

2023-02-06T06:52:49+00:00

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream.

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

MIPS: fix fortify panic when copying asm exception handlers

2022-04-15T12:18:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit d17b66417308996e7e64b270a3c7f3c1fbd4cfc8 ]

With KCFLAGS="-O3", I was able to trigger a fortify-source
memcpy() overflow panic on set_vi_srs_handler().
Although O3 level is not supported in the mainline, under some
conditions that may've happened with any optimization settings,
it's just a matter of inlining luck. The panic itself is correct,
more precisely, 50/50 false-positive and not at the same time.
From the one side, no real overflow happens. Exception handler
defined in asm just gets copied to some reserved places in the
memory.
But the reason behind is that C code refers to that exception
handler declares it as `char`, i.e. something of 1 byte length.
It's obvious that the asm function itself is way more than 1 byte,
so fortify logics thought we are going to past the symbol declared.
The standard way to refer to asm symbols from C code which is not
supposed to be called from C is to declare them as
`extern const u8[]`. This is fully correct from any point of view,
as any code itself is just a bunch of bytes (including 0 as it is
for syms like _stext/_etext/etc.), and the exact size is not known
at the moment of compilation.
Adjust the type of the except_vec_vi_*() and related variables.
Make set_handler() take `const` as a second argument to avoid
cast-away warnings and give a little more room for optimization.

MIPS: add missing MSACSR and upper MSA initialization

2020-09-09T17:12:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit bb06748207cfb1502d11b90325eba7f8c44c9f02 ]

In cc97ab235f3f ("MIPS: Simplify FP context initialization), init_fp_ctx
just initialize the fp/msa context, and own_fp_inatomic just restore
FCSR and 64bit FP regs from it, but miss MSACSR and upper MSA regs for
MSA, so MSACSR and MSA upper regs's value from previous task on current
cpu can leak into current task and cause unpredictable behavior when MSA
context not initialized.

MIPS: Add missing EHB in mtc0 -> mfc0 sequence for DSPen

2020-07-09T07:37:56+00:00

commit fcec538ef8cca0ad0b84432235dccd9059c8e6f8 upstream.

This resolves the hazard between the mtc0 in the change_c0_status() and
the mfc0 in configure_exception_vector(). Without resolving this hazard
configure_exception_vector() could read an old value and would restore
this old value again. This would revert the changes change_c0_status()
did. I checked this by printing out the read_c0_status() at the end of
per_cpu_trap_init() and the ST0_MX is not set without this patch.

The hazard is documented in the MIPS Architecture Reference Manual Vol.
III: MIPS32/microMIPS32 Privileged Resource Architecture (MD00088), rev
6.03 table 8.1 which includes:

   Producer | Consumer | Hazard
  ----------|----------|----------------------------
   mtc0     | mfc0     | any coprocessor 0 register

I saw this hazard on an Atheros AR9344 rev 2 SoC with a MIPS 74Kc CPU.
There the change_c0_status() function would activate the DSPen by
setting ST0_MX in the c0_status register. This was reverted and then the
system got a DSP exception when the DSP registers were saved in
save_dsp() in the first process switch. The crash looks like this:

[    0.089999] Mount-cache hash table entries: 1024 (order: 0, 4096 bytes, linear)
[    0.097796] Mountpoint-cache hash table entries: 1024 (order: 0, 4096 bytes, linear)
[    0.107070] Kernel panic - not syncing: Unexpected DSP exception
[    0.113470] Rebooting in 1 seconds..

We saw this problem in OpenWrt only on the MIPS 74Kc based Atheros SoCs,
not on the 24Kc based SoCs. We only saw it with kernel 5.4 not with
kernel 4.19, in addition we had to use GCC 8.4 or 9.X, with GCC 8.3 it
did not happen.

In the kernel I bisected this problem to commit 9012d011660e ("compiler:
allow all arches to enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING"), but when this was
reverted it also happened after commit 172dcd935c34b ("MIPS: Always
allocate exception vector for MIPSr2+").

Commit 0b24cae4d535 ("MIPS: Add missing EHB in mtc0 -> mfc0 sequence.")
does similar changes to a different file. I am not sure if there are
more places affected by this problem.

Merge branch 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

2019-07-09T04:48:15+00:00

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
 "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
  task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
  task.

  The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
  such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
  fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.

  Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
  force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
  abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
  have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

  This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
  carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
  making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

sched/core: Provide a pointer to the valid CPU mask

2019-06-03T09:49:37+00:00

In commit:

  4b53a3412d66 ("sched/core: Remove the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper")

the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper was removed. There was not
much difference in !RT but in RT we used this to implement
migrate_disable(). Within a migrate_disable() section the CPU mask is
restricted to single CPU while the "normal" CPU mask remains untouched.

As an alternative implementation Ingo suggested to use:

	struct task_struct {
		const cpumask_t		*cpus_ptr;
		cpumask_t		cpus_mask;
        };
with
	t->cpus_ptr = &t->cpus_mask;

In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to:

	t->cpus_ptr = &cpumask_of(task_cpu(p));

in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple:

 - Code that 'uses' ->cpus_allowed would use the pointer.
 - Code that 'modifies' ->cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

signal: Remove the task parameter from force_sig_fault

2019-05-29T14:31:43+00:00

As synchronous exceptions really only make sense against the current
task (otherwise how are you synchronous) remove the task parameter
from from force_sig_fault to make it explicit that is what is going
on.

The two known exceptions that deliver a synchronous exception to a
stopped ptraced task have already been changed to
force_sig_fault_to_task.

The callers have been changed with the following emacs regular expression
(with obvious variations on the architectures that take more arguments)
to avoid typos:

force_sig_fault[(]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\W+current[)]
->
force_sig_fault(\1,\2,\3)

signal: Use force_sig_fault_to_task for the two calls that don't deliver to current

2019-05-29T14:31:43+00:00

In preparation for removing the task parameter from force_sig_fault
introduce force_sig_fault_to_task and use it for the two cases where
it matters.

On mips force_fcr31_sig calls force_sig_fault and is called on either
the current task, or a task that is suspended and is being switched to
by the scheduler.  This is safe because the task being switched to by
the scheduler is guaranteed to be suspended.  This ensures that
task->sighand is stable while the signal is delivered to it.

On parisc user_enable_single_step calls force_sig_fault and is in turn
called by ptrace_request.  The function ptrace_request always calls
user_enable_single_step on a child that is stopped for tracing.  The
child being traced and not reaped ensures that child->sighand is not
NULL, and that the child will not change child->sighand.

signal: Remove task parameter from force_sig

2019-05-27T14:36:28+00:00

All of the remaining callers pass current into force_sig so
remove the task parameter to make this obvious and to make
misuse more difficult in the future.

This also makes it clear force_sig passes current into force_sig_info.

MIPS: Remove duplicate EBase configuration

2019-05-02T18:21:08+00:00

Clean up our configuration of the EBase register by making
configure_exception_vector() write to it unconditionally on systems
implementing MIPSr2 or higher, and removing the duplicate code in
per_cpu_trap_init(). The latter would have duplicated work on systems
with vectored interrupts, and didn't set BEV for safety like the
configure_exception_vector() version of the code does.
