Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures

2018-10-21T07:46:11+00:00

commit a6e2f029ae34f41adb6ae3812c32c5d326e1abd2 upstream.

Added the x86 implementation of word-at-a-time to the
generic version, which previously only supported big-endian.

Omitted the x86-specific load_unaligned_zeropad(), which in
any case is also not present for the existing BE-only
implementation of a word-at-a-time, and is only used under
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS.

Added as a "generic-y" to the Kbuilds of all architectures
that didn't previously have it.

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas

2017-07-02T16:13:02+00:00

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

tile: avoid using clocksource_cyc2ns with absolute cycle count

2017-02-23T03:54:39+00:00

commit e658a6f14d7c0243205f035979d0ecf6c12a036f upstream.

For large values of "mult" and long uptimes, the intermediate
result of "cycles * mult" can overflow 64 bits.  For example,
the tile platform calls clocksource_cyc2ns with a 1.2 GHz clock;
we have mult = 853, and after 208.5 days, we overflow 64 bits.

Since clocksource_cyc2ns() is intended to be used for relative
cycle counts, not absolute cycle counts, performance is more
importance than accepting a wider range of cycle values.  So,
just use mult_frac() directly in tile's sched_clock().

Commit 4cecf6d401a0 ("sched, x86: Avoid unnecessary overflow
in sched_clock") by Salman Qazi results in essentially the same
generated code for x86 as this change does for tile.  In fact,
a follow-on change by Salman introduced mult_frac() and switched
to using it, so the C code was largely identical at that point too.

Peter Zijlstra then added mul_u64_u32_shr() and switched x86
to use it.  This is, in principle, better; by optimizing the
64x64->64 multiplies to be 32x32->64 multiplies we can potentially
save some time.  However, the compiler piplines the 64x64->64
multiplies pretty well, and the conditional branch in the generic
mul_u64_u32_shr() causes some bubbles in execution, with the
result that it's pretty much a wash.  If tilegx provided its own
implementation of mul_u64_u32_shr() without the conditional branch,
we could potentially save 3 cycles, but that seems like small gain
for a fair amount of additional build scaffolding; no other platform
currently provides a mul_u64_u32_shr() override, and tile doesn't
currently have an  header to put the override in.

Additionally, gcc currently has an optimization bug that prevents
it from recognizing the opportunity to use a 32x32->64 multiply,
and so the result would be no better than the existing mult_frac()
until such time as the compiler is fixed.

For now, just using mult_frac() seems like the right answer.

tile: Define AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH for ARCH_DLINFO

2016-11-20T01:16:58+00:00

commit cdf8b4633075f2171d440d2e37c9c2609019a81a upstream.

AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH should be defined with the maximum number of
NEW_AUX_ENT entries that ARCH_DLINFO can contain, but it wasn't defined
for tile at all even though ARCH_DLINFO will contain one NEW_AUX_ENT for
the VDSO address.

This shouldn't be a problem as AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE includes space for
AT_BASE_PLATFORM which tile doesn't use, but lets define it now and add
the comment above ARCH_DLINFO as found in several other architectures to
remind future modifiers of ARCH_DLINFO to keep AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH up to
date.

vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support

2015-02-04T10:58:27+00:00

commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.
