[ upstream commit d269176e766c71c998cb75b4ea8cbc321cc0019d ]

While working on 16338a9b3ac3 ("bpf, arm64: fix out of bounds access in
tail call") I noticed that ppc64 JIT is partially affected as well. While
the bound checking is correctly performed as unsigned comparison, the
register with the index value however, is never truncated into 32 bit
space, so e.g. a index value of 0x100000000ULL with a map of 1 element
would pass with PPC_CMPLW() whereas we later on continue with the full
64 bit register value. Therefore, as we do in interpreter and other JITs
truncate the value to 32 bit initially in order to fix access.

[ upstream commit 16338a9b3ac30740d49f5dfed81bac0ffa53b9c7 ]

I recently noticed a crash on arm64 when feeding a bogus index
into BPF tail call helper. The crash would not occur when the
interpreter is used, but only in case of JIT. Output looks as
follows:

  [  347.007486] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffb850e96492510

In this case the index used in BPF r3 is the same as in r1
at the time of the call, meaning we fed a pointer as index;
here, it had the value 0xffff808fd7cf0500 which sits in x2.

While I found tail calls to be working in general (also for
hitting the error cases), I noticed the following in the code
emission:

  # bpftool p d j i 988
  [...]
  38:   ldr     w10, [x1,x10]
  3c:   cmp     w2, w10

  44:   mov     x10, #0x20                      // #32
  48:   cmp     x26, x10
  4c:   b.gt    0x000000000000007c
  50:   add     x26, x26, #0x1
  54:   mov     x10, #0x110                     // #272
  58:   add     x10, x1, x10
  5c:   lsl     x11, x2, #3
  60:   ldr     x11, [x10,x11]                  &lt;-- faulting insn (f86b694b)
  64:   cbz     x11, 0x000000000000007c
  [...]

Meaning, the tests passed because commit ddb55992b04d ("arm64:
bpf: implement bpf_tail_call() helper") was using signed compares
instead of unsigned which as a result had the test wrongly passing.

Change this but also the tail call count test both into unsigned
and cap the index as u32. Latter we did as well in 90caccdd8cc0
("bpf: fix bpf_tail_call() x64 JIT") and is needed in addition here,
too. Tested on HiSilicon Hi1616.

Result after patch:

[ upstream commit a493a87f38cfa48caaa95c9347be2d914c6fdf29 ]

Implement a retpoline [0] for the BPF tail call JIT'ing that converts
the indirect jump via jmp %rax that is used to make the long jump into
another JITed BPF image. Since this is subject to speculative execution,
we need to control the transient instruction sequence here as well
when CONFIG_RETPOLINE is set, and direct it into a pause + lfence loop.
The latter aligns also with what gcc / clang emits (e.g. [1]).

JIT dump after patch:

  # bpftool p d x i 1
   0: (18) r2 = map[id:1]
   2: (b7) r3 = 0
   3: (85) call bpf_tail_call#12
   4: (b7) r0 = 2
   5: (95) exit

With CONFIG_RETPOLINE:

The backport of upstream commit 45d55e7bac40 ("x86/apic/vector: Fix off by
one in error path") missed to fixup the legacy interrupt data which is not
longer available upstream.

Handle legacy irq data correctly by clearing the legacy storage to prevent
use after free.

Fixes: 7fd133539289 ("x86/apic/vector: Fix off by one in error path") - 4.4.y

<title>x86/speculation: Use Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier in context switch</title>

commit 18bf3c3ea8ece8f03b6fc58508f2dfd23c7711c7 upstream.

Flush indirect branches when switching into a process that marked itself
non dumpable. This protects high value processes like gpg better,
without having too high performance overhead.

If done naïvely, we could switch to a kernel idle thread and then back
to the original process, such as:

    process A -&gt; idle -&gt; process A

In such scenario, we do not have to do IBPB here even though the process
is non-dumpable, as we are switching back to the same process after a
hiatus.

To avoid the redundant IBPB, which is expensive, we track the last mm
user context ID. The cost is to have an extra u64 mm context id to track
the last mm we were using before switching to the init_mm used by idle.
Avoiding the extra IBPB is probably worth the extra memory for this
common scenario.

For those cases where tlb_defer_switch_to_init_mm() returns true (non
PCID), lazy tlb will defer switch to init_mm, so we will not be changing
the mm for the process A -&gt; idle -&gt; process A switch. So IBPB will be
skipped for this case.

Thanks to the reviewers and Andy Lutomirski for the suggestion of
using ctx_id which got rid of the problem of mm pointer recycling.

<title>x86/mm: Give each mm TLB flush generation a unique ID</title>

commit f39681ed0f48498b80455095376f11535feea332 upstream.

This adds two new variables to mmu_context_t: ctx_id and tlb_gen.
ctx_id uniquely identifies the mm_struct and will never be reused.
For a given mm_struct (and hence ctx_id), tlb_gen is a monotonic
count of the number of times that a TLB flush has been requested.
The pair (ctx_id, tlb_gen) can be used as an identifier for TLB
flush actions and will be used in subsequent patches to reliably
determine whether all needed TLB flushes have occurred on a given
CPU.

This patch is split out for ease of review.  By itself, it has no
real effect other than creating and updating the new variables.

commit 74402055a2d3ec998a1ded599e86185a27d9bbf4 upstream.

The pinmuxing was missing for I2C1 which was causing intermittent issues
with the PMIC which is connected to I2C1.  The bootloader did not quite
configure the I2C1 either, so when running at 2.6MHz, it was generating
errors at time.

This correctly sets the I2C1 pinmuxing so it can operate at 2.6MHz

commit 946fbbc13dce68902f64515b610eeb2a6c3d7a64 upstream.

vmx_vcpu_run() and svm_vcpu_run() are large functions, and giving
branch hints to the compiler can actually make a substantial cycle
difference by keeping the fast path contiguous in memory.

With this optimization, the retpoline-guest/retpoline-host case is
about 50 cycles faster.

commit ecb586bd29c99fb4de599dec388658e74388daad upstream.

Having a paravirt indirect call in the IBRS restore path is not a
good idea, since we are trying to protect from speculative execution
of bogus indirect branch targets.  It is also slower, so use
native_wrmsrl() on the vmentry path too.
