Not upstream as it is not needed there.

So a patch something like this might be a safe way to fix the
potential infoleak in older kernels.

THIS IS UNTESTED. It's a very obvious patch, though, so if it compiles
it probably works. It just initializes the output variable with 0 in
the inline asm description, instead of doing it in the exception
handler.

It will generate slightly worse code (a few unnecessary ALU
operations), but it doesn't have any interactions with the exception
handler implementation.

commit 0ea1ec713f04bdfac343c9702b21cd3a7c711826 upstream.

DMA mapping permissions were being derived from pgprot_kernel directly
without using PAGE_KERNEL.  This causes them to be marked with executable
permission, which is not what we want.  Fix this.

commit 2117d5398c81554fbf803f5fd1dc55eb78216c0c upstream.

em_jmp_far and em_ret_far assumed that setting IP can only fail in 64
bit mode, but syzkaller proved otherwise (and SDM agrees).
Code segment was restored upon failure, but it was left uninitialized
outside of long mode, which could lead to a leak of host kernel stack.
We could have fixed that by always saving and restoring the CS, but we
take a simpler approach and just break any guest that manages to fail
as the error recovery is error-prone and modern CPUs don't need emulator
for this.

commit 1650b4ebc99da4c137bfbfc531be4a2405f951dd upstream.

Function user_notifier_unregister should be called only once for each
registered user notifier.

Function kvm_arch_hardware_disable can be executed from an IPI context
which could cause a race condition with a VCPU returning to user mode
and attempting to unregister the notifier.

<title>parisc: Ensure consistent state when switching to kernel stack at syscall entry</title>

commit 6ed518328d0189e0fdf1bb7c73290d546143ea66 upstream.

We have one critical section in the syscall entry path in which we switch from
the userspace stack to kernel stack. In the event of an external interrupt, the
interrupt code distinguishes between those two states by analyzing the value of
sr7. If sr7 is zero, it uses the kernel stack. Therefore it's important, that
the value of sr7 is in sync with the currently enabled stack.

This patch now disables interrupts while executing the critical section.  This
prevents the interrupt handler to possibly see an inconsistent state which in
the worst case can lead to crashes.

Interestingly, in the syscall exit path interrupts were already disabled in the
critical section which switches back to the userspace stack.

commit 80f23935cadb1c654e81951f5a8b7ceae0acc1b4 upstream.

PowerPC's "cmp" instruction has four operands. Normally people write
"cmpw" or "cmpd" for the second cmp operand 0 or 1. But, frequently
people forget, and write "cmp" with just three operands.

With older binutils this is silently accepted as if this was "cmpw",
while often "cmpd" is wanted. With newer binutils GAS will complain
about this for 64-bit code. For 32-bit code it still silently assumes
"cmpw" is what is meant.

In this instance the code comes directly from ISA v2.07, including the
cmp, but cmpd is correct. Backport to stable so that new toolchains can
build old kernels.

<title>powerpc/64: Fix incorrect return value from __copy_tofrom_user</title>

<id>f51adbeabd260316f53661f041c544cb9bfc7562</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 1a34439e5a0b2235e43f96816dbb15ee1154f656 upstream.

Debugging a data corruption issue with virtio-net/vhost-net led to
the observation that __copy_tofrom_user was occasionally returning
a value 16 larger than it should.  Since the return value from
__copy_tofrom_user is the number of bytes not copied, this means
that __copy_tofrom_user can occasionally return a value larger
than the number of bytes it was asked to copy.  In turn this can
cause higher-level copy functions such as copy_page_to_iter_iovec
to corrupt memory by copying data into the wrong memory locations.

It turns out that the failing case involves a fault on the store
at label 79, and at that point the first unmodified byte of the
destination is at R3 + 16.  Consequently the exception handler
for that store needs to add 16 to R3 before using it to work out
how many bytes were not copied, but in this one case it was not
adding the offset to R3.  To fix it, this moves the label 179 to
the point where we add 16 to R3.  I have checked manually all the
exception handlers for the loads and stores in this code and the
rest of them are correct (it would be excellent to have an
automated test of all the exception cases).

This bug has been present since this code was initially
committed in May 2002 to Linux version 2.5.20.

commit 1a34439e5a0b2235e43f96816dbb15ee1154f656 upstream.

Debugging a data corruption issue with virtio-net/vhost-net led to
the observation that __copy_tofrom_user was occasionally returning
a value 16 larger than it should.  Since the return value from
__copy_tofrom_user is the number of bytes not copied, this means
that __copy_tofrom_user can occasionally return a value larger
than the number of bytes it was asked to copy.  In turn this can
cause higher-level copy functions such as copy_page_to_iter_iovec
to corrupt memory by copying data into the wrong memory locations.

It turns out that the failing case involves a fault on the store
at label 79, and at that point the first unmodified byte of the
destination is at R3 + 16.  Consequently the exception handler
for that store needs to add 16 to R3 before using it to work out
how many bytes were not copied, but in this one case it was not
adding the offset to R3.  To fix it, this moves the label 179 to
the point where we add 16 to R3.  I have checked manually all the
exception handlers for the loads and stores in this code and the
rest of them are correct (it would be excellent to have an
automated test of all the exception cases).

This bug has been present since this code was initially
committed in May 2002 to Linux version 2.5.20.

<title>powerpc/vdso64: Use double word compare on pointers</title>

commit 5045ea37377ce8cca6890d32b127ad6770e6dce5 upstream.

__kernel_get_syscall_map() and __kernel_clock_getres() use cmpli to
check if the passed in pointer is non zero. cmpli maps to a 32 bit
compare on binutils, so we ignore the top 32 bits.

A simple test case can be created by passing in a bogus pointer with
the bottom 32 bits clear. Using a clk_id that is handled by the VDSO,
then one that is handled by the kernel shows the problem:

  printf("%d\n", clock_getres(CLOCK_REALTIME, (void *)0x100000000));
  printf("%d\n", clock_getres(CLOCK_BOOTTIME, (void *)0x100000000));

And we get:

  0
  -1

The bigger issue is if we pass a valid pointer with the bottom 32 bits
clear, in this case we will return success but won't write any data
to the pointer.

I stumbled across this issue because the LLVM integrated assembler
doesn't accept cmpli with 3 arguments. Fix this by converting them to
cmpldi.

commit 11b7e154b132232535befe51c55db048069c8461 upstream.

When we merge two contiguous partitions whose signatures are marked
NVRAM_SIG_FREE, We need update prev's length and checksum, then write it
to nvram, not cur's. So lets fix this mistake now.

Also use memset instead of strncpy to set the partition's name. It's
more readable if we want to fill up with duplicate chars .
