commit 371b80447ff33ddac392c189cf884a5a3e18faeb upstream.

kexec can leave MMU registers set when booting into a new kernel,
the PIDR (Process Identification Register) in particular. The boot
sequence does not zero PIDR, so it only gets set when CPUs first
switch to a userspace processes (until then it's running a kernel
thread with effective PID = 0).

This leaves a window where a process table entry and page tables are
set up due to user processes running on other CPUs, that happen to
match with a stale PID. The CPU with that PID may cause speculative
accesses that address quadrant 0 (aka userspace addresses), which will
result in cached translations and PWC (Page Walk Cache) for that
process, on a CPU which is not in the mm_cpumask and so they will not
be invalidated properly.

The most common result is the kernel hanging in infinite page fault
loops soon after kexec (usually in schedule_tail, which is usually the
first non-speculative quadrant 0 access to a new PID) due to a stale
PWC. However being a stale translation error, it could result in
anything up to security and data corruption problems.

Fix this by zeroing out PIDR at boot and kexec.

<title>powerpc/signal: Properly handle return value from uprobe_deny_signal()</title>

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.

[ Upstream commit 90d08ba2b9b4be4aeca6a5b5a4b09fbcde30194d ]

On context switch with powerpc32, the cputime is accumulated in the
thread_info struct. So the switching-in task must move forward its
start time snapshot to the current time in order to later compute the
delta spent in system mode.

This is what we do for the normal cputime by initializing the starttime
field to the value of the previous task's starttime which got freshly
updated.

But we are missing the update of the scaled cputime start time. As a
result we may be accounting too much scaled cputime later.

Fix this by initializing the scaled cputime the same way we do for
normal cputime.

<title>powerpc/tm: Fix illegal TM state in signal handler</title>

commit 044215d145a7a8a60ffa8fdc859d110a795fa6ea upstream.

Currently it's possible that on returning from the signal handler
through the restore_tm_sigcontexts() code path (e.g. from a signal
caught due to a `trap` instruction executed in the middle of an HTM
block, or a deliberately constructed sigframe) an illegal TM state
(like TS=10 TM=0, i.e. "T0") is set in SRR1 and when `rfid` sets
implicitly the MSR register from SRR1 register on return to userspace
it causes a TM Bad Thing exception.

That illegal state can be set (a) by a malicious user that disables
the TM bit by tweaking the bits in uc_mcontext before returning from
the signal handler or (b) by a sufficient number of context switches
occurring such that the load_tm counter overflows and TM is disabled
whilst in the signal handler.

This commit fixes the illegal TM state by ensuring that TM bit is
always enabled before we return from restore_tm_sigcontexts(). A small
comment correction is made as well.

<title>powerpc/64s: Use emergency stack for kernel TM Bad Thing program checks</title>

commit 265e60a170d0a0ecfc2d20490134ed2c48dd45ab upstream.

When using transactional memory (TM), the CPU can be in one of six
states as far as TM is concerned, encoded in the Machine State
Register (MSR). Certain state transitions are illegal and if attempted
trigger a "TM Bad Thing" type program check exception.

If we ever hit one of these exceptions it's treated as a bug, ie. we
oops, and kill the process and/or panic, depending on configuration.

One case where we can trigger a TM Bad Thing, is when returning to
userspace after a system call or interrupt, using RFID. When this
happens the CPU first restores the user register state, in particular
r1 (the stack pointer) and then attempts to update the MSR. However
the MSR update is not allowed and so we take the program check with
the user register state, but the kernel MSR.

This tricks the exception entry code into thinking we have a bad
kernel stack pointer, because the MSR says we're coming from the
kernel, but r1 is pointing to userspace.

To avoid this we instead always switch to the emergency stack if we
take a TM Bad Thing from the kernel. That way none of the user
register values are used, other than for printing in the oops message.

This is the fix for CVE-2017-1000255.

For DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS, we should be passing-in the original set
of registers in pt_regs, to capture the state _before_ ftrace_caller.
However, we are instead passing the stack pointer *after* allocating a
stack frame in ftrace_caller. Fix this by saving the proper value of r1
in pt_regs. Also, use SAVE_10GPRS() to simplify the code.

commit c1fa0768a8713b135848f78fd43ffc208d8ded70 upstream.

Commit cd63f3c ("powerpc/tm: Fix saving of TM SPRs in core dump")
added code to access TM SPRs in flush_tmregs_to_thread(). However
flush_tmregs_to_thread() does not check if TM feature is available on
CPU before trying to access TM SPRs in order to copy live state to
thread structures. flush_tmregs_to_thread() is indeed guarded by
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM but it might be the case that kernel
was compiled with CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM enabled and ran on
a CPU without TM feature available, thus rendering the execution
of TM instructions that are treated by the CPU as illegal instructions.

The fix is just to add proper checking in flush_tmregs_to_thread()
if CPU has the TM feature before accessing any TM-specific resource,
returning immediately if TM is no available on the CPU. Adding
that checking in flush_tmregs_to_thread() instead of in places
where it is called, like in vsr_get() and vsr_set(), is better because
avoids the same problem cropping up elsewhere.

thread structures. flush_tmregs_to_thread() is indeed guarded by
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM but it might be the case that kernel
was compiled with CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM enabled and ran on
a CPU without TM feature available, thus rendering the execution
of TM instructions that are treated by the CPU as illegal instructions.

The fix is just to add proper checking in flush_tmregs_to_thread()
if CPU has the TM feature before accessing any TM-specific resource,
returning immediately if TM is no available on the CPU. Adding
that checking in flush_tmregs_to_thread() instead of in places
where it is called, like in vsr_get() and vsr_set(), is better because
avoids the same problem cropping up elsewhere.

commit f9effe925039cf54489b5c04e0d40073bb3a123d upstream.

Anton noticed that if we fault part way through emulating an unaligned
instruction, we don't update the DAR to reflect that.

The DAR value is eventually reported back to userspace as the address
in the SEGV signal, and if userspace is using that value to demand
fault then it can be confused by us not setting the value correctly.

This patch is ugly as hell, but is intended to be the minimal fix and
back ports easily.

<title>powerpc: Fix VSX enabling/flushing to also test MSR_FP and MSR_VEC</title>

commit 5a69aec945d27e78abac9fd032533d3aaebf7c1e upstream.

VSX uses a combination of the old vector registers, the old FP
registers and new "second halves" of the FP registers.

Thus when we need to see the VSX state in the thread struct
(flush_vsx_to_thread()) or when we'll use the VSX in the kernel
(enable_kernel_vsx()) we need to ensure they are all flushed into
the thread struct if either of them is individually enabled.

Unfortunately we only tested if the whole VSX was enabled, not if they
were individually enabled.

<title>powerpc/64: Fix __check_irq_replay missing decrementer interrupt</title>

commit 3db40c312c2c1eb2187c5731102fa8ff380e6e40 upstream.

If the decrementer wraps again and de-asserts the decrementer
exception while hard-disabled, __check_irq_replay() has a test to
notice the wrap when interrupts are re-enabled.

The decrementer check must be done when clearing the PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS
flag, not when the PACA_IRQ_DEC flag is tested. Previously this worked
because the decrementer interrupt was always the first one checked
after clearing the hard disable flag, but HMI check was moved ahead of
that, which introduced this bug.

This can cause a missed decrementer interrupt if we soft-disable
interrupts then take an HMI which is recorded in irq_happened, then
hard-disable interrupts for &gt; 4s to wrap the decrementer.
