commit f474c28fbcbe42faca4eb415172c07d76adcb819 upstream.

powerpc hardware triggers watchpoint before executing the instruction.
To make trigger-after-execute behavior, kernel emulates the
instruction. If the instruction is 'load something into non-volatile
register', exception handler should restore emulated register state
while returning back, otherwise there will be register state
corruption. eg, adding a watchpoint on a list can corrput the list:

  # cat /proc/kallsyms | grep kthread_create_list
  c00000000121c8b8 d kthread_create_list

Add watchpoint on kthread_create_list-&gt;prev:

  # perf record -e mem:0xc00000000121c8c0

Run some workload such that new kthread gets invoked. eg, I just
logged out from console:

  list_add corruption. next-&gt;prev should be prev (c000000001214e00), \
	but was c00000000121c8b8. (next=c00000000121c8b8).

0xc00000000121c8c0 is where we placed a watchpoint and thus this

did not restore emulated register state, r29 still contains stale
value in above register state.

commit 6ecb78ef56e08d2119d337ae23cb951a640dc52d upstream.

Previously, only IBAT1 and IBAT2 were used to map kernel linear mem.
Since commit 63b2bc619565 ("powerpc/mm/32s: Use BATs for
STRICT_KERNEL_RWX"), we may have all 8 BATs used for mapping
kernel text. But the suspend/restore functions only save/restore
BATs 0 to 3, and clears BATs 4 to 7.

Make suspend and restore functions respectively save and reload
the 8 BATs on CPUs having MMU_FTR_USE_HIGH_BATS feature.

commit f16d80b75a096c52354c6e0a574993f3b0dfbdfe upstream.

On systems like P9 powernv where we have no TM (or P8 booted with
ppc_tm=off), userspace can construct a signal context which still has
the MSR TS bits set. The kernel tries to restore this context which
results in the following crash:

The problem is the signal code assumes TM is enabled when
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is enabled. This may not be the case as
with P9 powernv or if `ppc_tm=off` is used on P8.

This means any local user can crash the system.

Fix the problem by returning a bad stack frame to the user if they try
to set the MSR TS bits with sigreturn() on systems where TM is not
supported.

Found with sigfuz kernel selftest on P9.

This fixes CVE-2019-13648.

This means any local user can crash the system.

Fix the problem by returning a bad stack frame to the user if they try
to set the MSR TS bits with sigreturn() on systems where TM is not
supported.

Found with sigfuz kernel selftest on P9.

This fixes CVE-2019-13648.

commit dd9a994fc68d196a052b73747e3366c57d14a09e upstream.

Commit b5b4453e7912 ("powerpc/vdso64: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC
inconsistencies across Y2038") changed the type of wtom_clock_sec
to s64 on PPC64. Therefore, VDSO32 needs to read it with a 4 bytes
shift in order to retrieve the lower part of it.

commit b5b4453e7912f056da1ca7572574cada32ecb60c upstream.

Jakub Drnec reported:
  Setting the realtime clock can sometimes make the monotonic clock go
  back by over a hundred years. Decreasing the realtime clock across
  the y2k38 threshold is one reliable way to reproduce. Allegedly this
  can also happen just by running ntpd, I have not managed to
  reproduce that other than booting with rtc at &gt;2038 and then running
  ntp. When this happens, anything with timers (e.g. openjdk) breaks
  rather badly.

And included a test case (slightly edited for brevity):
  #define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 199309L
  #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
  #include &lt;time.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
  #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

  long get_time(void) {
    struct timespec tp;
    clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &amp;tp);
    return tp.tv_sec + tp.tv_nsec / 1000000000;
  }

  int main(void) {
    long last = get_time();
    while(1) {
      long now = get_time();
      if (now &lt; last) {
        printf("clock went backwards by %ld seconds!\n", last - now);
      }
      last = now;
      sleep(1);
    }
    return 0;
  }

Which when run concurrently with:
 # date -s 2040-1-1
 # date -s 2037-1-1

Will detect the clock going backward.

The root cause is that wtom_clock_sec in struct vdso_data is only a
32-bit signed value, even though we set its value to be equal to
tk-&gt;wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec which is 64-bits.

Because the monotonic clock starts at zero when the system boots the
wall_to_montonic.tv_sec offset is negative for current and future
dates. Currently on a freshly booted system the offset will be in the
vicinity of negative 1.5 billion seconds.

However if the wall clock is set past the Y2038 boundary, the offset
from wall to monotonic becomes less than negative 2^31, and no longer
fits in 32-bits. When that value is assigned to wtom_clock_sec it is
truncated and becomes positive, causing the VDSO assembly code to
calculate CLOCK_MONOTONIC incorrectly.

That causes CLOCK_MONOTONIC to jump ahead by ~4 billion seconds which
it is not meant to do. Worse, if the time is then set back before the
Y2038 boundary CLOCK_MONOTONIC will jump backward.

We can fix it simply by storing the full 64-bit offset in the
vdso_data, and using that in the VDSO assembly code. We also shuffle
some of the fields in vdso_data to avoid creating a hole.

The original commit that added the CLOCK_MONOTONIC support to the VDSO
did actually use a 64-bit value for wtom_clock_sec, see commit
a7f290dad32e ("[PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to
32 bits kernel") (Nov 2005). However just 3 days later it was
converted to 32-bits in commit 0c37ec2aa88b ("[PATCH] powerpc: vdso
fixes (take #2)"), and the bug has existed since then AFAICS.

commit 9580b71b5a7863c24a9bd18bcd2ad759b86b1eff upstream.

Clear the on-stack STACK_FRAME_REGS_MARKER on exception exit in order
to avoid confusing stacktrace like the one below.

commit 76b235c6bcb16062d663e2ee96db0b69f2e6bc14 upstream.

Since we've already stepped away from ENABLE is a JMP and DISABLE is a
NOP with the branch_default bits, and are going to make it even worse,
rename it to make it all clearer.

This way we don't mix multiple levels of logic attributes, but have a
plain 'physical' name for what the current instruction patching status
of a jump label is.

This is a first step in removing the naming confusion that has led to
a stream of avoidable bugs such as:

  a833581e372a ("x86, perf: Fix static_key bug in load_mm_cr4()")

commit 46725b17f1c6c815a41429259b3f070c01e71bc1 upstream.

When a uprobe is installed on an instruction that we currently do not
emulate, we copy the instruction into a xol buffer and single step
that instruction. If that instruction generates a fault, we abort the
single stepping before invoking the signal handler. Once the signal
handler is done, the uprobe trap is hit again since the instruction is
retried and the process repeats.

We use uprobe_deny_signal() to detect if the xol instruction triggered
a signal. If so, we clear TIF_SIGPENDING and set TIF_UPROBE so that the
signal is not handled until after the single stepping is aborted. In
this case, uprobe_deny_signal() returns true and get_signal() ends up
returning 0. However, in do_signal(), we are not looking at the return
value, but depending on ksig.sig for further action, all with an
uninitialized ksig that is not touched in this scenario. Fix the same
by initializing ksig.sig to 0.
