commit b7ab86bdc65eadcfc43a0e3faf682a3f750cfb96 upstream.

On a machine without PCI memory-I/O (MIO) support or when running with
pci=nomio the s390 specific PCI MMIO write syscall checks if the MMIO
cookie is above ZPCI_IOMAP_ADDR_BASE as a sanity check before even
trying to perform the MMIO. If this check fails the return value was
left unchanged and thus 0 from prior operations falsely indicating
success. This could potentially confuse user-space into falsely
believing the MMIO, on a mapping not valid for MMIO was successful.

Fix this by setting the return value to -EFAULT prior to the check
following the same pattern as elsewhere in the same function.

<title>um: vector: fix use-after-free in vector_mmsg_rx()</title>

commit af421e9aed3920c7ac88c24daa48606c7112feca upstream.

When vector_mmsg_rx() discards a packet whose overlay header fails
verify_header(), it frees the skb and continues the loop:

	if (header_check &lt; 0) {
		dev_kfree_skb_irq(skb);
		vp-&gt;estats.rx_encaps_errors++;
		continue;
	}

The normal and short-packet paths fall through to the bottom of the
loop body, which clears the consumed slot and advances the cursors:

	(*skbuff_vector) = NULL;
	mmsg_vector++;
	skbuff_vector++;

The verify_header() &lt; 0 path skips that via continue, so the freed skb
is left in skbuff_vector[] and the cursors do not advance. The next
iteration reads the same slot, gets the freed skb, and frees it again,
producing a refcount underflow / use-after-free in the RX path.

Discard the slot the same way the other paths do before continuing.

Only transports whose verify_header() can return negative are affected:
GRE and L2TPv3 do so on a cookie/session-id mismatch (raw/tap do not),
so any peer on such a transport can trigger it without authentication.

commit 0bb024f11d120abff3e8db9144a585b9d7fb8459 upstream.

If lv1_put_iopte() fails in dma_ioc0_map_pages(), the error path
decrements iopage but keeps using the failed mapping's offset. As a
result, it repeatedly tries to invalidate the failed IOPTE slot and
leaves the already installed IOPTEs valid.

Recompute offset and invalidate the installed IOPTEs instead.

commit 868d32ac72cba21c5c6d8a66a814b7c25a3a5c01 upstream.

The AIBV holds one bit per MSI-X vector for a given function. The size of
the bit vector is derived from the NOI and the AIBVO. If the size of the
AIBV exceeds a single page boundary, then reject the request as we cannot
safely pin the guest AIBV.

Similarly reject the request if the AISB address is not 8-byte aligned as
the architecture requires doubleword alignment for the summary bit address.
Since the AISBO can address up to 64 bits, the size of the AISB can only be
8 bytes for the function. This also ensures the AISB doesn't exceed a
single page boundary.

The airq_iv_create() can return NULL on failure, but the return value was
never checked. If it fails, zdev-&gt;aibv will be NULL and fail when
dereferenced in kvm_zpci_set_airq(). Add a NULL check and free the
previously allocated AISB bit and zdev-&gt;aisb on failure.

commit 36f6999ecde3976731a8bfc0b8e667da6f593069 upstream.

The account_mem() and unaccount_mem() functions call get_uid() which
increments the reference count of struct user_struct on every invocation.
But we don't decrement the count by calling free_uid(). It also
accounted/unaccounted the pages against the current-&gt;mm. But its possible
the unaccount_mem() can be called from a different process context than the
one that originally pinned the pages.

Let's fix this by storing the pinning process user_struct and mm_struct
when accounting for pinned pages, and subsequently free these resources
when the pages are unpinned.

commit 8fa01be5a6149404adb82c0979a78f6347edd3ef upstream.

The MPCIFC instruction doesn't allow registering adapter interrupts without
first unregistering. So reject any request to enable interrupt forwarding
if its already enabled for the zPCI device. This also fixes overwriting and
thus leaking resources when the ioctl is called multiple times for the same
device.

commit 8fa01be5a6149404adb82c0979a78f6347edd3ef upstream.

The MPCIFC instruction doesn't allow registering adapter interrupts without
first unregistering. So reject any request to enable interrupt forwarding
if its already enabled for the zPCI device. This also fixes overwriting and
thus leaking resources when the ioctl is called multiple times for the same
device.

commit 7d3aae206663c4e006b25a1c7a20a4029e67da76 upstream.

Always update x2APIC MSR intercepts for L1 when AVIC is deactivated, even
if L2 is active and KVM is using a separate MSR bitmap to run L2.  If AVIC
is fully enabled prior to running L2, and is then inhibited while L2 is
active (for a VM-scoped inhibit), then KVM will run L1 with AVIC disabled,
but with x2APIC MSR intercepts disabled, i.e. will allow L1 to read most of
the host's APIC state, send arbitrary interrupts, change task priority, and
ultimately trivially DoS the host.

E.g. sending a self-IPI in L1 on HYPERV_REENLIGHTENMENT_VECTOR, 0xee, with
CONFIG_HYPERV=n in the host kernel as a "safe" PoC, yields:

  Spurious interrupt (vector 0xee) on CPU#425. Acked

And hacking KVM to abuse kvm_set_posted_intr_wakeup_handler() to register a
handler and WARN on POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP_VECTOR yields:

<title>KVM: VMX: add memory clobber to asm for VMX instructions</title>

commit 0e65cd9e5d41c34f86b7c347967bedac54926041 upstream.

VMCLEAR/VMREAD/VMWRITE/VMPTRLD access the internal VMCS cache, which
is not visible to the compiler; without a memory clobber, the compiler
can reorder them in troublesome ways because "asm volatile" and "asm goto"
only protect against removal of the asm.  For example, placing a VMWRITE
before the corresponding VMCS pointer is loaded can lead to corruption.
While none of this has been observed, it is better to prevent than cure.

Likewise, INVEPT and INVVPID access the TLB and, even though in their
case the effect is only visible to the next VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME, it is
technically correct to add the clobber there too.  So avoid any urge to
special case them, and simply hardcode "memory" into the clobber list
of vmx_asm1() and vmx_asm2().  __vmcs_readl() open-codes its own asm,
so add the clobber there as well.
