<id>97e0c9082179f7abe08d6921d3594749e2431542</id>
<content type='text'>
commit b7a584598aea7ca73140cb87b40319944dd3393f upstream.

On Xen PV, regs-&gt;flags doesn't reliably reflect IOPL and the
exit-to-userspace code doesn't change IOPL.  We need to context
switch it manually.

I'm doing this without going through paravirt because this is
specific to Xen PV.  After the dust settles, we can merge this with
the 32-bit code, tidy up the iopl syscall implementation, and remove
the set_iopl pvop entirely.

Fixes XSA-171.

commit eddd3826a1a0190e5235703d1e666affa4d13b96 upstream.

Dmitry Vyukov reported the following using trinity and the memory
error detector AddressSanitizer
(https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/AddressSanitizerForKernel).

[ 124.575597] ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow on
address ffff88002e280000
[ 124.576801] ffff88002e280000 is located 131938492886538 bytes to
the left of 28857600-byte region [ffffffff81282e0a, ffffffff82e0830a)
[ 124.578633] Accessed by thread T10915:

./arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c:444

The address checks in the 64bit implementation of get_wchan() are
wrong in several ways:

 - The lower bound of the stack is not the start of the stack
   page. It's the start of the stack page plus sizeof (struct
   thread_info)

 - The upper bound must be:

       top_of_stack - TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING - 2 * sizeof(unsigned long).

   The 2 * sizeof(unsigned long) is required because the stack pointer
   points at the frame pointer. The layout on the stack is: ... IP FP
   ... IP FP. So we need to make sure that both IP and FP are in the
   bounds.

Fix the bound checks and get rid of the mix of numeric constants, u64
and unsigned long. Making all unsigned long allows us to use the same
function for 32bit as well.

Use READ_ONCE() when accessing the stack. This does not prevent a
concurrent wakeup of the task and the stack changing, but at least it
avoids TOCTOU.

Also check task state at the end of the loop. Again that does not
prevent concurrent changes, but it avoids walking for nothing.

Add proper comments while at it.

commit 37868fe113ff2ba814b3b4eb12df214df555f8dc upstream.

modify_ldt() has questionable locking and does not synchronize
threads.  Improve it: redesign the locking and synchronize all
threads' LDTs using an IPI on all modifications.

This will dramatically slow down modify_ldt in multithreaded
programs, but there shouldn't be any multithreaded programs that
care about modify_ldt's performance in the first place.

This fixes some fallout from the CVE-2015-5157 fixes.

<title>x86_64, switch_to(): Load TLS descriptors before switching DS and ES</title>

commit f647d7c155f069c1a068030255c300663516420e upstream.

Otherwise, if buggy user code points DS or ES into the TLS
array, they would be corrupted after a context switch.

This also significantly improves the comments and documents some
gotchas in the code.

Before this patch, the both tests below failed.  With this
patch, the es test passes, although the gsbase test still fails.

commit f647d7c155f069c1a068030255c300663516420e upstream.

Otherwise, if buggy user code points DS or ES into the TLS
array, they would be corrupted after a context switch.

This also significantly improves the comments and documents some
gotchas in the code.

Before this patch, the both tests below failed.  With this
patch, the es test passes, although the gsbase test still fails.

<title>x86: Merge the x86_32 and x86_64 cpu_idle() functions</title>

Both functions are mostly identical.
The differences are:

- x86_32's cpu_idle() makes use of check_pgt_cache(), which is a
  nop on both x86_32 and x86_64.

- x86_64's cpu_idle() uses enter/__exit_idle/(), on x86_32 these
  function are a nop.

- In contrast to x86_32, x86_64 calls rcu_idle_enter/exit() in
  the innermost loop because idle notifications need RCU.
  Calling these function on x86_32 also in the innermost loop
  does not hurt.

So we can merge both functions.
