commit ba6d018e3d2f6a0fad58a668cadf66b2d1f80f59 upstream.

__show_regs() fails to dump the PKRU state when the debug registers are in
their default state because there is a return statement on the debug
register state.

Change the logic to report PKRU value even when debug registers are in
their default state.

<title>x86/fsgsbase/64: Use TASK_SIZE_MAX for FSBASE/GSBASE upper limits</title>

<content type='text'>
The GSBASE upper limit exists to prevent user code from confusing
the paranoid idtentry path.  The FSBASE upper limit is just for
consistency.  There's no need to enforce a smaller limit for 32-bit
tasks.

Just use TASK_SIZE_MAX.  This simplifies the logic and will save a
few bytes of code.

Unlike ds and es, these are base addresses, not selectors.  Rename
them so their meaning is more obvious.

On x86_32, the field is still called fs.  Fixing that could make sense
as a future cleanup.

As far as I know, the optimization doesn't work on any modern distro
because modern distros use high addresses for ASLR.  Remove it.

The ptrace code was either wrong or very strange, but the behavior
with this patch should be essentially identical to the behavior
without this patch unless user code goes out of its way to mislead
ptrace.

On newer CPUs, once the FSGSBASE instructions are enabled, we won't
want to use the optimized variant anyway.

This isn't actually much of a performance regression, it has no effect
on normal dynamically linked programs, and it's a considerably
simplification. It also removes some nasty special cases from code
that is already way too full of special cases for comfort.

<title>x86/entry: Rename is_{ia32,x32}_task() to in_{ia32,x32}_syscall()</title>

<content type='text'>
The is_ia32_task()/is_x32_task() function names are a big misnomer: they
suggests that the compat-ness of a system call is a task property, which
is not true, the compatness of a system call purely depends on how it
was invoked through the system call layer.

A task may call 32-bit and 64-bit and x32 system calls without changing
any of its kernel visible state.

This specific minomer is also actively dangerous, as it might cause kernel
developers to use the wrong kind of security checks within system calls.

So rename it to in_{ia32,x32}_syscall().

ARCH_GET_FS and ARCH_GET_GS attempted to figure out the fsbase and
gsbase respectively from saved thread state.  This was wrong: fsbase
and gsbase live in registers while a thread is running, not in
memory.

For reasons I can't fathom, the fsbase and gsbase code were
different.  Since neither was correct, I didn't try to figure out
what the point of the difference was.

Change it to simply read the MSRs.

The code for reading the base for a remote thread is also completely
wrong if the target thread uses its own descriptors (which is the case
for all 32-bit threaded programs), but fixing that is a different
story.

<title>x86/compat: remove is_compat_task()</title>

x86's is_compat_task always checked the current syscall type, not the
task type.  It has no non-arch users any more, so just remove it to
avoid confusion.

On x86, nothing should really be checking the task ABI.  There are
legitimate users for the syscall ABI and for the mm ABI.
