From POWER4 onwards, mfocrf() only places the specified CR field into the destination GPR, and the rest of it is set to 0. The PowerPC AS from version 3.0 now requires this behaviour.

commit 64e756c55aa46fc18fd53e8f3598b73b528d8637 upstream.

From POWER4 onwards, mfocrf() only places the specified CR field into
the destination GPR, and the rest of it is set to 0. The PowerPC AS
from version 3.0 now requires this behaviour.

The emulation code currently puts the entire CR into the destination GPR.
Fix it.

powerpc/64: Fix incorrect return value from __copy_tofrom_user 2017-02-06T22:32:56+00:00 Paul Mackerras paulus@ozlabs.org 2016-10-11T11:25:47+00:00 5daad2cce3080d132228900a1c8ecee81c3e33ce commit 1a34439e5a0b2235e43f96816dbb15ee1154f656 upstream. Debugging a data corruption issue with virtio-net/vhost-net led to the observation that __copy_tofrom_user was occasionally returning a value 16 larger than it should. Since the return value from __copy_tofrom_user is the number of bytes not copied, this means that __copy_tofrom_user can occasionally return a value larger than the number of bytes it was asked to copy. In turn this can cause higher-level copy functions such as copy_page_to_iter_iovec to corrupt memory by copying data into the wrong memory locations. It turns out that the failing case involves a fault on the store at label 79, and at that point the first unmodified byte of the destination is at R3 + 16. Consequently the exception handler for that store needs to add 16 to R3 before using it to work out how many bytes were not copied, but in this one case it was not adding the offset to R3. To fix it, this moves the label 179 to the point where we add 16 to R3. I have checked manually all the exception handlers for the loads and stores in this code and the rest of them are correct (it would be excellent to have an automated test of all the exception cases). This bug has been present since this code was initially committed in May 2002 to Linux version 2.5.20.

commit 1a34439e5a0b2235e43f96816dbb15ee1154f656 upstream.

Debugging a data corruption issue with virtio-net/vhost-net led to
the observation that __copy_tofrom_user was occasionally returning
a value 16 larger than it should.  Since the return value from
__copy_tofrom_user is the number of bytes not copied, this means
that __copy_tofrom_user can occasionally return a value larger
than the number of bytes it was asked to copy.  In turn this can
cause higher-level copy functions such as copy_page_to_iter_iovec
to corrupt memory by copying data into the wrong memory locations.

It turns out that the failing case involves a fault on the store
at label 79, and at that point the first unmodified byte of the
destination is at R3 + 16.  Consequently the exception handler
for that store needs to add 16 to R3 before using it to work out

The csum_partial_copy_generic() function saves the PowerPC non-volatile r14, r15, and r16 registers for the main checksum-and-copy loop. Unfortunately, it fails to restore them upon error exit from this loop, which results in silent corruption of these registers in the presumably rare event of an access exception within that loop.
