commit ec6d0dde71d760aa60316f8d1c9a1b0d99213529 upstream.

On execve[at], we are zero'ing out most of the thread register state
including gpr[0], which contains the syscall number. Due to this, we
fail to trigger the syscall exit tracepoint properly. Fix this by
retaining gpr[0] in the thread register state.

[ Upstream commit e901378578c62202594cba0f6c076f3df365ec91 ]

Fix a bug introduced by the creation of flush_all_to_thread() for
processors that have SPE (Signal Processing Engine) and use it to
compute floating-point operations.

&gt;From userspace perspective, the problem was seen in attempts of
computing floating-point operations which should generate exceptions.
For example:

  fork();
  float x = 0.0 / 0.0;
  isnan(x);           // forked process returns False (should be True)

The operation above also should always cause the SPEFSCR FINV bit to
be set. However, the SPE floating-point exceptions were turned off
after a fork().

Kernel versions prior to the bug used flush_spe_to_thread(), which
first saves SPEFSCR register values in tsk-&gt;thread and then calls
giveup_spe(tsk).

After commit 579e633e764e, the save_all() function was called first
to giveup_spe(), and then the SPEFSCR register values were saved in
tsk-&gt;thread. This would save the SPEFSCR register values after
disabling SPE for that thread, causing the bug described above.

<title>powerpc/tm: Fix FP/VMX unavailable exceptions inside a transaction</title>

<id>32b803e81ce17eec816f09d5388ef0a1cc9e4c2f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8205d5d98ef7f155de211f5e2eb6ca03d95a5a60 upstream.

When we take an FP unavailable exception in a transaction we have to
account for the hardware FP TM checkpointed registers being
incorrect. In this case for this process we know the current and
checkpointed FP registers must be the same (since FP wasn't used
inside the transaction) hence in the thread_struct we copy the current
FP registers to the checkpointed ones.

This copy is done in tm_reclaim_thread(). We use thread-&gt;ckpt_regs.msr
to determine if FP was on when in userspace. thread-&gt;ckpt_regs.msr
represents the state of the MSR when exiting userspace. This is setup
by check_if_tm_restore_required().

Unfortunatley there is an optimisation in giveup_all() which returns
early if tsk-&gt;thread.regs-&gt;msr (via local variable `usermsr`) has
FP=VEC=VSX=SPE=0. This optimisation means that
check_if_tm_restore_required() is not called and hence
thread-&gt;ckpt_regs.msr is not updated and will contain an old value.

This can happen if due to load_fp=255 we start a userspace process
with MSR FP=1 and then we are context switched out. In this case
thread-&gt;ckpt_regs.msr will contain FP=1. If that same process is then
context switched in and load_fp overflows, MSR will have FP=0. If that
process now enters a transaction and does an FP instruction, the FP
unavailable will not update thread-&gt;ckpt_regs.msr (the bug) and MSR
FP=1 will be retained in thread-&gt;ckpt_regs.msr.  tm_reclaim_thread()
will then not perform the required memcpy and the checkpointed FP regs
in the thread struct will contain the wrong values.

The code path for this happening is:

       Userspace:                      Kernel
                   Start userspace
                    with MSR FP/VEC/VSX/SPE=0 TM=1
                      &lt; -----
       ...
       tbegin
       bne
       fp instruction
                   FP unavailable
                       ---- &gt;
                                        fp_unavailable_tm()
					  tm_reclaim_current()
					    tm_reclaim_thread()
					      giveup_all()
					        return early since FP/VMX/VSX=0
						/* ckpt MSR not updated (Incorrect) */
					      tm_reclaim()
					        /* thread_struct ckpt FP regs contain junk (OK) */
                                              /* Sees ckpt MSR FP=1 (Incorrect) */
					      no memcpy() performed
					        /* thread_struct ckpt FP regs not fixed (Incorrect) */
					  tm_recheckpoint()
					     /* Put junk in hardware checkpoint FP regs */
                                         ....
                      &lt; -----
                   Return to userspace
                     with MSR TM=1 FP=1
                     with junk in the FP TM checkpoint
       TM rollback
       reads FP junk

This is a data integrity problem for the current process as the FP
registers are corrupted. It's also a security problem as the FP
registers from one process may be leaked to another.

This patch moves up check_if_tm_restore_required() in giveup_all() to
ensure thread-&gt;ckpt_regs.msr is updated correctly.

A simple testcase to replicate this will be posted to
tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/tm/tm-poison.c

Similarly for VMX.

This fixes CVE-2019-15030.

commit fe1ef6bcdb4fca33434256a802a3ed6aacf0bd2f upstream.

Commit 8792468da5e1 "powerpc: Add the ability to save FPU without
giving it up" unexpectedly removed the MSR_FE0 and MSR_FE1 bits from
the bitmask used to update the MSR of the previous thread in
__giveup_fpu() causing a KVM-PR MacOS guest to lockup and panic the
host kernel.

Leaving FE0/1 enabled means unrelated processes might receive FPEs
when they're not expecting them and crash. In particular if this
happens to init the host will then panic.

eg (transcribed):
  qemu-system-ppc[837]: unhandled signal 8 at 12cc9ce4 nip 12cc9ce4 lr 12cc9ca4 code 0
  systemd[1]: unhandled signal 8 at 202f02e0 nip 202f02e0 lr 001003d4 code 0
  Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b

Reinstate these bits to the MSR bitmask to enable MacOS guests to run
under 32-bit KVM-PR once again without issue.

Reinstate these bits to the MSR bitmask to enable MacOS guests to run
under 32-bit KVM-PR once again without issue.

Somehow we missed this when the pr_cont() changes went in. Fix CR/XER
to go on the same line as MSR, as they have historically, eg:

  MSR: 8000000000009032 &lt;SF,EE,ME,IR,DR,RI&gt;  CR: 4804408a  XER: 20000000

<title>powerpc/64: Optimise set/clear of CTRL[RUN] (runlatch)</title>

On modern CPUs the CTRL register is read-only except bit 63 which is
the run latch control. This means it can be updated with a mtspr
rather than mfspr/mtspr.

To accomodate older CPUs (Cell at least), where there are other bits
in the register, we still do a read/modify/write on pre 2.06 CPUs.

There's a non-trivial dependency between some commits we want to put in
next and the KVM prefetch work around that went into fixes. So merge
fixes into next.

__giveup_vsx/save_vsx are completely equivalent to testing MSR_FP
and MSR_VEC and calling the corresponding giveup/save function so
just remove the spurious VSX cases. Also add WARN_ONs checking that
we never have VSX enabled without the two other.

__giveup_fpu() already does it and we cannot have MSR_VSX set
without having MSR_FP also set.

This also adds a warning to check we indeed do
