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.

Fixes: d61f82d06672 ("ftrace: use dynamic patching for updating mcount calls")

commit ef85b67385436ddc1998f45f1d6a210f935b3388 upstream.

When L2 exits to L0 due to "exception or NMI", software exceptions
(#BP and #OF) for which L1 has requested an intercept should be
handled by L1 rather than L0. Previously, only hardware exceptions
were forwarded to L1.

commit 834fcd298003c10ce450e66960c78893cb1cc4b5 upstream.

If the pmu registration fails the registered hotplug callbacks are not
removed. Wrong in any case, but fatal in case of a modular driver.

Replace the nonsensical state names with proper ones while at it.

commit b0c1ef52959582144bbea9a2b37db7f4c9e399f7 upstream.

An earlier patch allowed enabling PT and LBR at the same
time on Goldmont. However it also allowed enabling BTS and LBR
at the same time, which is still not supported. Fix this by
bypassing the check only for PT.

<title>perf/x86: Fix full width counter, counter overflow</title>

commit 7f612a7f0bc13a2361a152862435b7941156b6af upstream.

Lukasz reported that perf stat counters overflow handling is broken on KNL/SLM.

Both these parts have full_width_write set, and that does indeed have
a problem. In order to deal with counter wrap, we must sample the
counter at at least half the counter period (see also the sampling
theorem) such that we can unambiguously reconstruct the count.

However commit:

  069e0c3c4058 ("perf/x86/intel: Support full width counting")

sets the sampling interval to the full period, not half.

Fixing that exposes another issue, in that we must not sign extend the
delta value when we shift it right; the counter cannot have
decremented after all.

With both these issues fixed, counter overflow functions correctly
again.

<title>perf/x86: Restore TASK_SIZE check on frame pointer</title>

commit ae31fe51a3cceaa0cabdb3058f69669ecb47f12e upstream.

The following commit:

  75925e1ad7f5 ("perf/x86: Optimize stack walk user accesses")

... switched from copy_from_user_nmi() to __copy_from_user_nmi() with a manual
access_ok() check.

Unfortunately, copy_from_user_nmi() does an explicit check against TASK_SIZE,
whereas the access_ok() uses whatever the current address limit of the task is.

We are getting NMIs when __probe_kernel_read() has switched to KERNEL_DS, and
then see vmalloc faults when we access what looks like pointers into vmalloc
space:

Fix this by moving the valid_user_frame() check to before the uaccess
that loads the return address and the pointer to the next frame.

<title>perf/x86/intel: Cure bogus unwind from PEBS entries</title>

commit b8000586c90b4804902058a38d3a59ce5708e695 upstream.

Vince Weaver reported that perf_fuzzer + KASAN detects that PEBS event
unwinds sometimes do 'weird' things. In particular, we seemed to be
ending up unwinding from random places on the NMI stack.

While it was somewhat expected that the event record BP,SP would not
match the interrupt BP,SP in that the interrupt is strictly later than
the record event, it was overlooked that it could be on an already
overwritten stack.

Therefore, don't copy the recorded BP,SP over the interrupted BP,SP
when we need stack unwinds.

Note that its still possible the unwind doesn't full match the actual
event, as its entirely possible to have done an (I)RET between record
and interrupt, but on average it should still point in the general
direction of where the event came from. Also, it's the best we can do,
considering.

The particular scenario that triggered the bogus NMI stack unwind was
a PEBS event with very short period, upon enabling the event at the
tail of the PMI handler (FREEZE_ON_PMI is not used), it instantly
triggers a record (while still on the NMI stack) which in turn
triggers the next PMI. This then causes back-to-back NMIs and we'll
try and unwind the stack-frame from the last NMI, which obviously is
now overwritten by our own.

<title>x86/traps: Ignore high word of regs-&gt;cs in early_fixup_exception()</title>

commit fc0e81b2bea0ebceb71889b61d2240856141c9ee upstream.

On the 80486 DX, it seems that some exceptions may leave garbage in
the high bits of CS.  This causes sporadic failures in which
early_fixup_exception() refuses to fix up an exception.

As far as I can tell, this has been buggy for a long time, but the
problem seems to have been exacerbated by commits:

  1e02ce4cccdc ("x86: Store a per-cpu shadow copy of CR4")
  e1bfc11c5a6f ("x86/init: Fix cr4_init_shadow() on CR4-less machines")

This appears to have broken for as long as we've had early
exception handling.

[ Note to stable maintainers: This patch is needed all the way back to 3.4,
  but it will only apply to 4.6 and up, as it depends on commit:

    0e861fbb5bda ("x86/head: Move early exception panic code into early_fixup_exception()")

  If you want to backport to kernels before 4.6, please don't backport the
  prerequisites (there was a big chain of them that rewrote a lot of the
  early exception machinery); instead, ask me and I can send you a one-liner
  that will apply. ]

commit b22cbe404a9cc3c7949e380fa1861e31934c8978 upstream.

Robert O'Callahan reported that after an execve PTRACE_GETREGSET
NT_X86_XSTATE continues to return the pre-exec register values
until the exec'ed task modifies FPU state.

The test code is at:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1164286.

What is happening is fpu__clear() does not properly clear fpstate.
Fix it by doing just that.

commit df492896e6dfb44fd1154f5402428d8e52705081 upstream.

Split irqchip allows pic and ioapic routes to be used without them being
created, which results in NULL access.  Check for NULL and avoid it.
(The setup is too racy for a nicer solutions.)
