commit bc9bbb81730ea667c31c5b284f95ee312bab466f upstream.

It has been reported to be causing problems, and is being reworked
upstream and has been dropped from the current 5.15.y stable queue until
it gets resolved.

[ Upstream commit bc9bbb81730ea667c31c5b284f95ee312bab466f ]

Currently, the kernel CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC option is enabled by default
on x86, but the implementation of get_wchan() is still based on the frame
pointer unwinder, so the /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/wchan usually returned 0 regardless
of whether the task &lt;pid&gt; is running.

Reimplement get_wchan() by calling stack_trace_save_tsk(), which is
adapted to the ORC and frame pointer unwinders.

commit b968e84b509da593c50dc3db679e1d33de701f78 upstream.

Since commit c8137ace5638 ("x86/iopl: Restrict iopl() permission
scope") it's possible to emulate iopl(3) using ioperm(), except for
the CLI/STI usage.

Userspace CLI/STI usage is very dubious (read broken), since any
exception taken during that window can lead to rescheduling anyway (or
worse). The IOPL(2) manpage even states that usage of CLI/STI is highly
discouraged and might even crash the system.

Of course, that won't stop people and HP has the dubious honour of
being the first vendor to be found using this in their hp-health
package.

In order to enable this 'software' to still 'work', have the #GP treat
the CLI/STI instructions as NOPs when iopl(3). Warn the user that
their program is doing dubious things.

Pull x86 fpu updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Fixes and improvements for FPU handling on x86:

   - Prevent sigaltstack out of bounds writes.

     The kernel unconditionally writes the FPU state to the alternate
     stack without checking whether the stack is large enough to
     accomodate it.

     Check the alternate stack size before doing so and in case it's too
     small force a SIGSEGV instead of silently corrupting user space
     data.

   - MINSIGSTKZ and SIGSTKSZ are constants in signal.h and have never
     been updated despite the fact that the FPU state which is stored on
     the signal stack has grown over time which causes trouble in the
     field when AVX512 is available on a CPU. The kernel does not expose
     the minimum requirements for the alternate stack size depending on
     the available and enabled CPU features.

     ARM already added an aux vector AT_MINSIGSTKSZ for the same reason.
     Add it to x86 as well.

   - A major cleanup of the x86 FPU code. The recent discoveries of
     XSTATE related issues unearthed quite some inconsistencies,
     duplicated code and other issues.

     The fine granular overhaul addresses this, makes the code more
     robust and maintainable, which allows to integrate upcoming XSTATE
     related features in sane ways"

Pull x86 fpu updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Fixes and improvements for FPU handling on x86:

   - Prevent sigaltstack out of bounds writes.

     The kernel unconditionally writes the FPU state to the alternate
     stack without checking whether the stack is large enough to
     accomodate it.

     Check the alternate stack size before doing so and in case it's too
     small force a SIGSEGV instead of silently corrupting user space
     data.

   - MINSIGSTKZ and SIGSTKSZ are constants in signal.h and have never
     been updated despite the fact that the FPU state which is stored on
     the signal stack has grown over time which causes trouble in the
     field when AVX512 is available on a CPU. The kernel does not expose
     the minimum requirements for the alternate stack size depending on
     the available and enabled CPU features.

     ARM already added an aux vector AT_MINSIGSTKSZ for the same reason.
     Add it to x86 as well.

   - A major cleanup of the x86 FPU code. The recent discoveries of
     XSTATE related issues unearthed quite some inconsistencies,
     duplicated code and other issues.

     The fine granular overhaul addresses this, makes the code more
     robust and maintainable, which allows to integrate upcoming XSTATE
     related features in sane ways"

<title>x86/fpu: Add PKRU storage outside of task XSAVE buffer</title>

PKRU is currently partly XSAVE-managed and partly not. It has space
in the task XSAVE buffer and is context-switched by XSAVE/XRSTOR.
However, it is switched more eagerly than FPU because there may be a
need for PKRU to be up-to-date for things like copy_to/from_user() since
PKRU affects user-permission memory accesses, not just accesses from
userspace itself.

This leaves PKRU in a very odd position. XSAVE brings very little value
to the table for how Linux uses PKRU except for signal related XSTATE
handling.

Prepare to move PKRU away from being XSAVE-managed. Allocate space in
the thread_struct for it and save/restore it in the context-switch path
separately from the XSAVE-managed features. task-&gt;thread_struct.pkru
is only valid when the task is scheduled out. For the current task the
authoritative source is the hardware, i.e. it has to be retrieved via
rdpkru().

Leave the XSAVE code in place for now to ensure bisectability.

<title>x86/fpu: Clean up the fpu__clear() variants</title>

fpu__clear() currently resets both register state and kernel XSAVE buffer
state.  It has two modes: one for all state (supervisor and user) and
another for user state only.  fpu__clear_all() uses the "all state"
(user_only=0) mode, while a number of signal paths use the user_only=1
mode.

Make fpu__clear() work only for user state (user_only=1) and remove the
"all state" (user_only=0) code.  Rename it to match so it can be used by
the signal paths.

Replace the "all state" (user_only=0) fpu__clear() functionality.  Use the
TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD functionality instead of making any actual hardware
registers changes in this path.

Instead of invoking fpu__initialize() just memcpy() init_fpstate into the
task's FPU state because that has already the correct format and in case of
PKRU also contains the default PKRU value. Move the actual PKRU write out
into flush_thread() where it belongs and where it will end up anyway when
PKRU and XSTATE have been untangled.

For bisectability a workaround is required which stores the PKRU value in
the xstate memory until PKRU is untangled from XSTATE for context
switching and return to user.
