<content type='text'>
This is a limited version of commit 58122bf1d856 "x86/fpu: Default
eagerfpu=on on all CPUs".  That commit revealed bugs in the use of
eagerfpu together with math emulation or without the FXSR feature.
Although those bugs have been fixed upstream, the fixes do not seem to
be practical to backport to 3.16.

The security issue that motivates using eagerfpu (CVE-2018-3665) is an
information leak through speculative execution, and most CPUs lacking
the FXSR feature also don't implement speculative execution.  The
exceptions I am aware of are the Intel Pentium Pro and AMD K6 family,
which will remain vulnerable to this issue.

Move the eagerfpu variable and associated initialisation into
fpu_init(), since xstate_enable_boot_cpu() won't be called at all if
XSAVE is disabled.

commit 375074cc736ab1d89a708c0a8d7baa4a70d5d476 upstream.

CR4 manipulation was split, seemingly at random, between direct
(write_cr4) and using a helper (set/clear_in_cr4).  Unfortunately,
the set_in_cr4 and clear_in_cr4 helpers also poke at the boot code,
which only a small subset of users actually wanted.

This patch replaces all cr4 access in functions that don't leave cr4
exactly the way they found it with new helpers cr4_set_bits,
cr4_clear_bits, and cr4_set_bits_and_update_boot.

<title>x86/fpu: Fix 32-bit signal frame handling</title>

commit ab6b52947545a5355154f64f449f97af9d05845f upstream.

(This should have gone to LKML originally. Sorry for the extra
 noise, folks on the cc.)

Background:

Signal frames on x86 have two formats:

  1. For 32-bit executables (whether on a real 32-bit kernel or
     under 32-bit emulation on a 64-bit kernel) we have a
    'fpregset_t' that includes the "FSAVE" registers.

  2. For 64-bit executables (on 64-bit kernels obviously), the
     'fpregset_t' is smaller and does not contain the "FSAVE"
     state.

When creating the signal frame, we have to be aware of whether
we are running a 32 or 64-bit executable so we create the
correct format signal frame.

Problem:

save_xstate_epilog() uses 'fx_sw_reserved_ia32' whenever it is
called for a 32-bit executable.  This is for real 32-bit and
ia32 emulation.

But, fpu__init_prepare_fx_sw_frame() only initializes
'fx_sw_reserved_ia32' when emulation is enabled, *NOT* for real
32-bit kernels.

This leads to really wierd situations where 32-bit programs
lose their extended state when returning from a signal handler.
The kernel copies the uninitialized (zero) 'fx_sw_reserved_ia32'
out to userspace in save_xstate_epilog().  But when returning
from the signal, the kernel errors out in check_for_xstate()
when it does not see FP_XSTATE_MAGIC1 present (because it was
zeroed).  This leads to the FPU/XSAVE state being initialized.

For MPX, this leads to the most permissive state and means we
silently lose bounds violations.  I think this would also mean
that we could lose *ANY* FPU/SSE/AVX state.  I'm not sure why
no one has spotted this bug.

I believe this was broken by:

	72a671ced66d ("x86, fpu: Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels")

way back in 2012.

<title>x86/fpu: Avoid math_state_restore() without used_math() in __restore_xstate_sig()</title>

commit a7c80ebcac3068b1c3cb27d538d29558c30010c8 upstream.

math_state_restore() assumes it is called with irqs disabled,
but this is not true if the caller is __restore_xstate_sig().

This means that if ia32_fxstate == T and __copy_from_user()
fails, __restore_xstate_sig() returns with irqs disabled too.

This triggers:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rwsem.c:41
   dump_stack
   ___might_sleep
   ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
   __might_sleep
   down_read
   ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
   print_vma_addr
   signal_fault
   sys32_rt_sigreturn

Change __restore_xstate_sig() to call set_used_math()
unconditionally. This avoids enabling and disabling interrupts
in math_state_restore(). If copy_from_user() fails, we can
simply do fpu_finit() by hand.

[ Note: this is only the first step. math_state_restore() should
        not check used_math(), it should set this flag. While
	init_fpu() should simply die. ]

commit 66463db4fc5605d51c7bb81d009d5bf30a783a2c upstream.

save_xstate_sig()-&gt;drop_init_fpu() doesn't look right. setup_rt_frame()
can fail after that, in this case the next setup_rt_frame() triggered
by SIGSEGV won't save fpu simply because the old state was lost. This
obviously mean that fpu won't be restored after sys_rt_sigreturn() from
SIGSEGV handler.

Shift drop_init_fpu() into !failed branch in handle_signal().

Test-case (needs -O2):

	#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
	#include &lt;signal.h&gt;
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/syscall.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/mman.h&gt;
	#include &lt;pthread.h&gt;
	#include &lt;assert.h&gt;

	volatile double D;

	void test(double d)
	{
		int pid = getpid();

		for (D = d; D == d; ) {
			/* sys_tkill(pid, SIGHUP); asm to avoid save/reload
			 * fp regs around "C" call */
			asm ("" : : "a"(200), "D"(pid), "S"(1));
			asm ("syscall" : : : "ax");
		}

		printf("ERR!!\n");
	}

	void sigh(int sig)
	{
	}

	char altstack[4096 * 10] __attribute__((aligned(4096)));

	void *tfunc(void *arg)
	{
		for (;;) {
			mprotect(altstack, sizeof(altstack), PROT_READ);
			mprotect(altstack, sizeof(altstack), PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE);
		}
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		stack_t st = {
			.ss_sp = altstack,
			.ss_size = sizeof(altstack),
			.ss_flags = SS_ONSTACK,
		};

		struct sigaction sa = {
			.sa_handler = sigh,
		};

		pthread_t pt;

		sigaction(SIGSEGV, &amp;sa, NULL);
		sigaltstack(&amp;st, NULL);
		sa.sa_flags = SA_ONSTACK;
		sigaction(SIGHUP, &amp;sa, NULL);

		pthread_create(&amp;pt, NULL, tfunc, NULL);

		test(123.456);
		return 0;
	}

commit df24fb859a4e200d9324e2974229fbb7adf00aef upstream.

Add preempt_disable() + preempt_enable() around math_state_restore() in
__restore_xstate_sig(). Otherwise __switch_to() after __thread_fpu_begin()
can overwrite fpu-&gt;state we are going to restore.

Some features, like Intel MPX, work only if the kernel uses eagerfpu
model.  So we should force eagerfpu on unless the user has explicitly
disabled it.

Add definitions for Intel MPX and add it to the supported list.

[ hpa: renamed XSTATE_FLEXIBLE to XSTATE_LAZY and added comments ]

<title>x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files</title>

<content type='text'>
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

Reimplement FPU detection code in C and drop old, not-so-recommended
detection method in asm. Move all the relevant stuff into i387.c where
it conceptually belongs. Finally drop cpuinfo_x86.hard_math.

[ hpa: huge thanks to Borislav for taking my original concept patch
  and productizing it ]

[ Boris, note to self: do not use static_cpu_has before alternatives! ]

With SMAP, the [f][x]rstor_checking() functions are no longer usable
for user-space pointers by applying a simple __force cast.  Instead,
create new [f][x]rstor_user() functions which do the proper SMAP
magic.
