[ Upstream commit a8318c13e79badb92bc6640704a64cc022a6eb97 ]

When in userspace and MSR FP=0 the hardware FP state is unrelated to
the current process. This is extended for transactions where if tbegin
is run with FP=0, the hardware checkpoint FP state will also be
unrelated to the current process. Due to this, we need to ensure this
hardware checkpoint is updated with the correct state before we enable
FP for this process.

Unfortunately we get this wrong when returning to a process from a
hardware interrupt. A process that starts a transaction with FP=0 can
take an interrupt. When the kernel returns back to that process, we
change to FP=1 but with hardware checkpoint FP state not updated. If
this transaction is then rolled back, the FP registers now contain the
wrong state.

The process looks like this:
   Userspace:                      Kernel

               Start userspace
                with MSR FP=0 TM=1
                  &lt; -----
   ...
   tbegin
   bne
               Hardware interrupt
                   ---- &gt;
                                    &lt;do_IRQ...&gt;
                                    ....
                                    ret_from_except
                                      restore_math()
				        /* sees FP=0 */
                                        restore_fp()
                                          tm_active_with_fp()
					    /* sees FP=1 (Incorrect) */
                                          load_fp_state()
                                        FP = 0 -&gt; 1
                  &lt; -----
               Return to userspace
                 with MSR TM=1 FP=1
                 with junk in the FP TM checkpoint
   TM rollback
   reads FP junk

When returning from the hardware exception, tm_active_with_fp() is
incorrectly making restore_fp() call load_fp_state() which is setting
FP=1.

The fix is to remove tm_active_with_fp().

tm_active_with_fp() is attempting to handle the case where FP state
has been changed inside a transaction. In this case the checkpointed
and transactional FP state is different and hence we must restore the
FP state (ie. we can't do lazy FP restore inside a transaction that's
used FP). It's safe to remove tm_active_with_fp() as this case is
handled by restore_tm_state(). restore_tm_state() detects if FP has
been using inside a transaction and will set load_fp and call
restore_math() to ensure the FP state (checkpoint and transaction) is
restored.

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.

Similarly for VMX.

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

This fixes CVE-2019-15031.

[ Upstream commit 5c784c8414fba11b62e12439f11e109fb5751f38 ]

Currently msr_tm_active() is a wrapper around MSR_TM_ACTIVE() if
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is set, or it is just a function that
returns false if CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is not set.

This function is not necessary, since MSR_TM_ACTIVE() just do the same and
could be used, removing the dualism and simplifying the code.

This patchset remove every instance of msr_tm_active() and replaced it
by MSR_TM_ACTIVE().

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

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.

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.

<title>powerpc: Don't print kernel instructions in show_user_instructions()</title>

Recently we implemented show_user_instructions() which dumps the code
around the NIP when a user space process dies with an unhandled
signal. This was modelled on the x86 code, and we even went so far as
to implement the exact same bug, namely that if the user process
crashed with its NIP pointing into the kernel we will dump kernel text
to dmesg. eg:

  bad-bctr[2996]: segfault (11) at c000000000010000 nip c000000000010000 lr 12d0b0894 code 1
  bad-bctr[2996]: code: fbe10068 7cbe2b78 7c7f1b78 fb610048 38a10028 38810020 fb810050 7f8802a6
  bad-bctr[2996]: code: 3860001c f8010080 48242371 60000000 &lt;7c7b1b79&gt; 4082002c e8010080 eb610048

This was discovered on x86 by Jann Horn and fixed in commit
342db04ae712 ("x86/dumpstack: Don't dump kernel memory based on usermode RIP").

Fix it by checking the adjusted NIP value (pc) and number of
instructions against USER_DS, and bail if we fail the check, eg:

  bad-bctr[2969]: segfault (11) at c000000000010000 nip c000000000010000 lr 107930894 code 1
  bad-bctr[2969]: Bad NIP, not dumping instructions.

show_user_instructions() is a slightly modified version of
show_instructions() that allows userspace instruction dump.

This will be useful within show_signal_msg() to dump userspace
instructions of the faulty location.

Here is a sample of what show_user_instructions() outputs:

  pandafault[10850]: code: 4bfffeec 4bfffee8 3c401002 38427f00 fbe1fff8 f821ffc1 7c3f0b78 3d22fffe
  pandafault[10850]: code: 392988d0 f93f0020 e93f0020 39400048 &lt;99490000&gt; 39200000 7d234b78 383f0040

The current-&gt;comm and current-&gt;pid printed can serve as a glue that
links the instructions dump to its originator, allowing messages to be
interleaved in the logs.

Since commit dc3106690b20 ("powerpc: tm: Always use fp_state and
vr_state to store live registers") tm_reclaim_thread() doesn't use the
parameter anymore, both callers have to bother getting it as they have
no need for a struct thread_info either.

Just remove it and adjust the callers.

When a thread forks the contents of AMR, IAMR, UAMOR registers in the
newly forked thread are not inherited.

Save the registers before forking, for content of those
