commit 2700fefdb2d9751c416ad56897e27d41e409324a upstream.

To allow an int3 handler to emulate a call instruction, it must be able to
push a return address onto the stack. Add a gap to the stack to allow the
int3 handler to push the return address and change the return from int3 to
jump straight to the emulated called function target.

<title>sched/x86: Save [ER]FLAGS on context switch</title>

commit 6690e86be83ac75832e461c141055b5d601c0a6d upstream.

Effectively reverts commit:

  2c7577a75837 ("sched/x86_64: Don't save flags on context switch")

Specifically because SMAP uses FLAGS.AC which invalidates the claim
that the kernel has clean flags.

In particular; while preemption from interrupt return is fine (the
IRET frame on the exception stack contains FLAGS) it breaks any code
that does synchonous scheduling, including preempt_enable().

This has become a significant issue ever since commit:

  5b24a7a2aa20 ("Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accesses")

provided for means of having 'normal' C code between STAC / CLAC,
exposing the FLAGS.AC state. So far this hasn't led to trouble,
however fix it before it comes apart.

commit 04dcbdb8057827b043b3c71aa397c4c63e67d086 upstream

Add a static key which controls the invocation of the CPU buffer clear
mechanism on exit to user space and add the call into
prepare_exit_to_usermode() and do_nmi() right before actually returning.

Add documentation which kernel to user space transition this covers and
explain why some corner cases are not mitigated.

<title>x86/entry/64/compat: Fix stack switching for XEN PV</title>

While in the native case entry into the kernel happens on the trampoline
stack, PV Xen kernels get entered with the current thread stack right
away. Hence source and destination stacks are identical in that case,
and special care is needed.

Other than in sync_regs() the copying done on the INT80 path isn't
NMI / #MC safe, as either of these events occurring in the middle of the
stack copying would clobber data on the (source) stack.

There is similar code in interrupt_entry() and nmi(), but there is no fixup
required because those code paths are unreachable in XEN PV guests.

<title>jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig</title>

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".

The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:

  #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) &amp;&amp; defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
  # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
  #endif

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

<content type='text'>
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Two changes:

   - Remove (some) remnants of the vDSO's fake section table mechanism
     that were left behind when the vDSO build process reverted to using
     "objdump -S" to strip the userspace image.

   - Remove hardcoded POPCNT mnemonics now that the minimum binutils
     version supports the symbolic form"

Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest part is a series of reverts for the macro based GCC
  inlining workarounds. It caused regressions in distro build and other
  kernel tooling environments, and the GCC project was very receptive to
  fixing the underlying inliner weaknesses - so as time ran out we
  decided to do a reasonably straightforward revert of the patches. The
  plan is to rely on the 'asm inline' GCC 9 feature, which might be
  backported to GCC 8 and could thus become reasonably widely available
  on modern distros.

  Other than those reverts, there's misc fixes from all around the
  place.

  I wish our final x86 pull request for v4.20 was smaller..."
