Commit 928a277 ("x86/apic: Do not init irq remapping if ioapic is
disabled") introduced in 3.10.105 introduced an implicit dependency of
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC to CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC which was later solved as
part of simplifications on the config dependencies in more recent kernels.
This dependency results in build failure when CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC is
set without CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC (this setup requires CONFIG_SMP=n). The
reason is that skip_ioapic_setup is declared in apic.c and that the
backported code was picked from a context where the #ifdef surrounding
the function used to cover this condition.

Let's just add the appropriate #ifdef to fix the 3.10 backport.

Thanks to Christoph Biedl for reporting and diagnosing this one.

commit bbaf0e2b1c1b4f88abd6ef49576f0efb1734eae5 upstream.

native_safe_halt enables interrupts, and you just shouldn't
call rcu_irq_enter() with interrupts enabled.  Reorder the
call with the following local_irq_disable() to respect the
invariant.

<title>mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas</title>

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

<title>ftrace/x86: Fix triple fault with graph tracing and suspend-to-ram</title>

commit 34a477e5297cbaa6ecc6e17c042a866e1cbe80d6 upstream.

On x86-32, with CONFIG_FIRMWARE and multiple CPUs, if you enable function
graph tracing and then suspend to RAM, it will triple fault and reboot when
it resumes.

The first fault happens when booting a secondary CPU:

startup_32_smp()
  load_ucode_ap()
    prepare_ftrace_return()
      ftrace_graph_is_dead()
        (accesses 'kill_ftrace_graph')

The early head_32.S code calls into load_ucode_ap(), which has an an
ftrace hook, so it calls prepare_ftrace_return(), which calls
ftrace_graph_is_dead(), which tries to access the global
'kill_ftrace_graph' variable with a virtual address, causing a fault
because the CPU is still in real mode.

The fix is to add a check in prepare_ftrace_return() to make sure it's
running in protected mode before continuing.  The check makes sure the
stack pointer is a virtual kernel address.  It's a bit of a hack, but
it's not very intrusive and it works well enough.

For reference, here are a few other (more difficult) ways this could
have potentially been fixed:

- Move startup_32_smp()'s call to load_ucode_ap() down to *after* paging
  is enabled.  (No idea what that would break.)

- Track down load_ucode_ap()'s entire callee tree and mark all the
  functions 'notrace'.  (Probably not realistic.)

- Pause graph tracing in ftrace_suspend_notifier_call() or bringup_cpu()
  or __cpu_up(), and ensure that the pause facility can be queried from
  real mode.

commit 29f72ce3e4d18066ec75c79c857bee0618a3504b upstream.

MCA bank 3 is reserved on systems pre-Fam17h, so it didn't have a name.
However, MCA bank 3 is defined on Fam17h systems and can be accessed
using legacy MSRs. Without a name we get a stack trace on Fam17h systems
when trying to register sysfs files for bank 3 on kernels that don't
recognize Scalable MCA.

Call MCA bank 3 "decode_unit" since this is what it represents on
Fam17h. This will allow kernels without SMCA support to see this bank on
Fam17h+ and prevent the stack trace. This will not affect older systems
since this bank is reserved on them, i.e. it'll be ignored.

Tested on AMD Fam15h and Fam17h systems.

commit 8329e818f14926a6040df86b2668568bde342ebf upstream.

Matt Fleming reported seeing crashes when enabling and disabling
function profiling which uses function graph tracer. Later Namhyung Kim
hit a similar issue and he found that the issue was due to the jmp to
ftrace_stub in ftrace_graph_call was only two bytes, and when it was
changed to jump to the tracing code, it overwrote the ftrace_stub that
was after it.

Masami Hiramatsu bisected this down to a binutils change:

    Add -mshared option to x86 ELF assembler

    This patch adds -mshared option to x86 ELF assembler.  By default,
    assembler will optimize out non-PLT relocations against defined non-weak
    global branch targets with default visibility.  The -mshared option tells
    the assembler to generate code which may go into a shared library
    where all non-weak global branch targets with default visibility can
    be preempted.  The resulting code is slightly bigger.  This option
    only affects the handling of branch instructions.

Declaring ftrace_stub as a weak call prevents gas from using two byte
jumps to it, which would be converted to a jump to the function graph
code.

commit 8329e818f14926a6040df86b2668568bde342ebf upstream.

Matt Fleming reported seeing crashes when enabling and disabling
function profiling which uses function graph tracer. Later Namhyung Kim
hit a similar issue and he found that the issue was due to the jmp to
ftrace_stub in ftrace_graph_call was only two bytes, and when it was
changed to jump to the tracing code, it overwrote the ftrace_stub that
was after it.

Masami Hiramatsu bisected this down to a binutils change:

    Add -mshared option to x86 ELF assembler

    This patch adds -mshared option to x86 ELF assembler.  By default,
    assembler will optimize out non-PLT relocations against defined non-weak
    global branch targets with default visibility.  The -mshared option tells
    the assembler to generate code which may go into a shared library
    where all non-weak global branch targets with default visibility can
    be preempted.  The resulting code is slightly bigger.  This option
    only affects the handling of branch instructions.

Declaring ftrace_stub as a weak call prevents gas from using two byte
jumps to it, which would be converted to a jump to the function graph
code.

commit dd853fd216d1485ed3045ff772079cc8689a9a4a upstream.

A negative number can be specified in the cmdline which will be used as
setup_clear_cpu_cap() argument. With that we can clear/set some bit in
memory predceeding boot_cpu_data/cpu_caps_cleared which may cause kernel
to misbehave. This patch adds lower bound check to setup_disablecpuid().

Boris Petkov reproduced a crash:

<title>ftrace/x86_32: Set ftrace_stub to weak to prevent gcc from using short jumps to it</title>

commit 847fa1a6d3d00f3bdf68ef5fa4a786f644a0dd67 upstream.

With new binutils, gcc may get smart with its optimization and change a jmp
from a 5 byte jump to a 2 byte one even though it was jumping to a global
function. But that global function existed within a 2 byte radius, and gcc
was able to optimize it. Unfortunately, that jump was also being modified
when function graph tracing begins. Since ftrace expected that jump to be 5
bytes, but it was only two, it overwrote code after the jump, causing a
crash.

This was fixed for x86_64 with commit 8329e818f149, with the same subject as
this commit, but nothing was done for x86_32.

commit 15301a570754c7af60335d094dd2d1808b0641a5 upstream.

Åukasz Daniluk reported that on a RHEL kernel that his machine would lock up
after enabling function tracer. I asked him to bisect the functions within
available_filter_functions, which he did and it came down to three:

  _paravirt_nop(), _paravirt_ident_32() and _paravirt_ident_64()

It was found that this is only an issue when noreplace-paravirt is added
to the kernel command line.

This means that those functions are most likely called within critical
sections of the funtion tracer, and must not be traced.

In newer kenels _paravirt_nop() is defined within gcc asm(), and is no
longer an issue.  But both _paravirt_ident_{32,64}() causes the
following splat when they are traced:

 mm/pgtable-generic.c:33: bad pmd ffff8800d2435150(0000000001d00054)

commit 2e63ad4bd5dd583871e6602f9d398b9322d358d9 upstream.

native_smp_prepare_cpus
  -&gt; default_setup_apic_routing
    -&gt; enable_IR_x2apic
      -&gt; irq_remapping_prepare
        -&gt; intel_prepare_irq_remapping
          -&gt; intel_setup_irq_remapping

So IR table is setup even if "noapic" boot parameter is added. As a result we
crash later when the interrupt affinity is set due to a half initialized
remapping infrastructure.

Prevent remap initialization when IOAPIC is disabled.
