commit c1e63117711977cc4295b2ce73de29dd17066c82 upstream.

To clear a user buffer we cannot simply use memset, we have to use
clear_user().  With a virtio-mem device that registers a vmcore_cb and
has some logically unplugged memory inside an added Linux memory block,
I can easily trigger a BUG by copying the vmcore via "cp":

Some x86-64 CPUs have a CPU feature called "Supervisor Mode Access
Prevention (SMAP)", which is used to detect wrong access from the kernel
to user buffers like this: SMAP triggers a permissions violation on
wrong access.  In the x86-64 variant of clear_user(), SMAP is properly
handled via clac()+stac().

To fix, properly use clear_user() when we're dealing with a user buffer.

<title>vmalloc: fix remap_vmalloc_range() bounds checks</title>

<content type='text'>
commit bdebd6a2831b6fab69eb85cee74a8ba77f1a1cc2 upstream.

remap_vmalloc_range() has had various issues with the bounds checks it
promises to perform ("This function checks that addr is a valid
vmalloc'ed area, and that it is big enough to cover the vma") over time,
e.g.:

 - not detecting pgoff&lt;&lt;PAGE_SHIFT overflow

 - not detecting (pgoff&lt;&lt;PAGE_SHIFT)+usize overflow

 - not checking whether addr and addr+(pgoff&lt;&lt;PAGE_SHIFT) are the same
   vmalloc allocation

 - comparing a potentially wildly out-of-bounds pointer with the end of
   the vmalloc region

In particular, since commit fc9702273e2e ("bpf: Add mmap() support for
BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY"), unprivileged users can cause kernel null pointer
dereferences by calling mmap() on a BPF map with a size that is bigger
than the distance from the start of the BPF map to the end of the
address space.

This could theoretically be used as a kernel ASLR bypass, by using
whether mmap() with a given offset oopses or returns an error code to
perform a binary search over the possible address range.

To allow remap_vmalloc_range_partial() to verify that addr and
addr+(pgoff&lt;&lt;PAGE_SHIFT) are in the same vmalloc region, pass the offset
to remap_vmalloc_range_partial() instead of adding it to the pointer in
remap_vmalloc_range().

In remap_vmalloc_range_partial(), fix the check against
get_vm_area_size() by using size comparisons instead of pointer
comparisons, and add checks for pgoff.

parse_crash_elf{32|64}_headers will check the headers via the
elf_check_arch respectively vmcore_elf64_check_arch macro.

The MIPS architecture implements those two macros differently.
In order to make the differentiation more explicit, let's introduce
an vmcore_elf32_check_arch to allow the archs to overwrite it.

<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

<content type='text'>
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

<title>proc-vmcore: wrong data type casting fix</title>

On i686 PAE enabled machine the contiguous physical area could be large
and it can cause trimming down variables in below calculation in
read_vmcore() and mmap_vmcore():

	tsz = min_t(size_t, m-&gt;offset + m-&gt;size - *fpos, buflen);

That is, the types being used is like below on i686:
m-&gt;offset: unsigned long long int
m-&gt;size:   unsigned long long int
*fpos:     loff_t (long long int)
buflen:    size_t (unsigned int)

So casting (m-&gt;offset + m-&gt;size - *fpos) by size_t means truncating a
given value by 4GB.

Suppose (m-&gt;offset + m-&gt;size - *fpos) being truncated to 0, buflen &gt;0
then we will get tsz = 0.  It is of course not an expected result.
Similarly we could also get other truncated values less than buflen.
Then the real size passed down is not correct any more.

If (m-&gt;offset + m-&gt;size - *fpos) is above 4GB, read_vmcore or
mmap_vmcore use the min_t result with truncated values being compared to
buflen.  Then, fpos proceeds with the wrong value so that we reach below
bugs:

1) read_vmcore will refuse to continue so makedumpfile fails.
2) mmap_vmcore will trigger BUG_ON() in remap_pfn_range().

Use unsigned long long in min_t instead so that the variables in are not
truncated.

<title>vmcore: fix PT_NOTE n_namesz, n_descsz overflow issue</title>

<id>34b47764297130b21aaeb4cc6119bb811814b8e3</id>
<content type='text'>
When updating PT_NOTE header size (ie.  p_memsz), an overflow issue
happens with the following bogus note entry:

  n_namesz = 0xFFFFFFFF
  n_descsz = 0x0
  n_type   = 0x0

This kind of note entry should be dropped during updating p_memsz.  But
because n_namesz is 32bit, after (n_namesz + 3) &amp; (~3), it's overflow to
0x0, the note entry size looks sane and reserved.

When userspace (eg.  crash utility) is trying to access such bogus note,
it could lead to an unexpected behavior (eg.  crash utility segment fault
because it's reading bogus address).

The source of bogus note hasn't been identified yet.  At least we could
drop the bogus note so user space wouldn't be surprised.

<title>fs/proc/vmcore.c:mmap_vmcore: skip non-ram pages reported by hypervisors</title>

We have a special check in read_vmcore() handler to check if the page was
reported as ram or not by the hypervisor (pfn_is_ram()).  However, when
vmcore is read with mmap() no such check is performed.  That can lead to
unpredictable results, e.g.  when running Xen PVHVM guest memcpy() after
mmap() on /proc/vmcore will hang processing HVMMEM_mmio_dm pages creating
enormous load in both DomU and Dom0.

Fix the issue by mapping each non-ram page to the zero page.  Keep direct
path with remap_oldmem_pfn_range() to avoid looping through all pages on
bare metal.

The issue can also be solved by overriding remap_oldmem_pfn_range() in
xen-specific code, as remap_oldmem_pfn_range() was been designed for.
That, however, would involve non-obvious xen code path for all x86 builds
with CONFIG_XEN_PVHVM=y and would prevent all other hypervisor-specific
code on x86 arch from doing the same override.

Currently when an empty PT_NOTE is detected, vmcore initialization
fails.  It sounds too harsh.  Because PT_NOTE could be empty, for
example, one offlined a cpu but never restarted kdump service, and after
crash, PT_NOTE program header is there but no data contains.  It's
better to warn about the empty PT_NOTE and continue to initialise
vmcore.

And ultimately the multiple PT_NOTE are merged into a single one, all
empty PT_NOTE are discarded naturally during the merge.  So empty
PT_NOTE is not visible to user space and vmcore is as good as expected.
