commit cef397038167ac15d085914493d6c86385773709 upstream.

Stefan Agner reported a bug when using zsram on 32-bit Arm machines
with RAM above the 4GB address boundary:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
  pgd = a27bd01c

  Stack: (0xe376bbe0 to 0xe376c000)

As it turns out, zsram needs to know the maximum memory size, which
is defined in MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is set, or in
MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS on the x86 architecture.

The same problem will be hit on all 32-bit architectures that have a
physical address space larger than 4GB and happen to not enable sparsemem
and include asm/sparsemem.h from asm/pgtable.h.

After the initial discussion, I suggested just always defining
MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS whenever CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is
set, or provoking a build error otherwise. This addresses all
configurations that can currently have this runtime bug, but
leaves all other configurations unchanged.

I looked up the possible number of bits in source code and
datasheets, here is what I found:

 - on ARC, CONFIG_ARC_HAS_PAE40 controls whether 32 or 40 bits are used
 - on ARM, CONFIG_LPAE enables 40 bit addressing, without it we never
   support more than 32 bits, even though supersections in theory allow
   up to 40 bits as well.
 - on MIPS, some MIPS32r1 or later chips support 36 bits, and MIPS32r5
   XPA supports up to 60 bits in theory, but 40 bits are more than
   anyone will ever ship
 - On PowerPC, there are three different implementations of 36 bit
   addressing, but 32-bit is used without CONFIG_PTE_64BIT
 - On RISC-V, the normal page table format can support 34 bit
   addressing. There is no highmem support on RISC-V, so anything
   above 2GB is unused, but it might be useful to eventually support
   CONFIG_ZRAM for high pages.

commit f8f6ae5d077a9bdaf5cbf2ac960a5d1a04b47482 upstream.

The purpose of io_remap_pfn_range() is to map IO memory, such as a
memory mapped IO exposed through a PCI BAR.  IO devices do not
understand encryption, so this memory must always be decrypted.
Automatically call pgprot_decrypted() as part of the generic
implementation.

This fixes a bug where enabling AMD SME causes subsystems, such as RDMA,
using io_remap_pfn_range() to expose BAR pages to user space to fail.
The CPU will encrypt access to those BAR pages instead of passing
unencrypted IO directly to the device.

Places not mapping IO should use remap_pfn_range().

Some architectures do not define certain PAGE_KERNEL_* flags, this is
either because:

 a) The way to implement some of these flags is *not yet ported*, or
 b) The architecture *has no way* to describe them

Over time we have accumulated a few PAGE_KERNEL_* fallback workarounds
for architectures in the kernel which do not define them using
*relatively safe* equivalents.  Move these scattered fallback hacks into
asm-generic.

We start off with PAGE_KERNEL_RO using PAGE_KERNEL as a fallback.  This
has been in place on the firmware loader for years.  Move the fallback
into the respective asm-generic header.

  address, which is used for the access, has the Present bit cleared or
  other reserved bits set.

  If an instruction accesses a virtual address for which the relevant
  page table entry (PTE) has the Present bit cleared or other reserved
  bits set, then speculative execution ignores the invalid PTE and loads
  the referenced data if it is present in the Level 1 Data Cache, as if
  the page referenced by the address bits in the PTE was still present
  and accessible.

  While this is a purely speculative mechanism and the instruction will
  raise a page fault when it is retired eventually, the pure act of
  loading the data and making it available to other speculative
  instructions opens up the opportunity for side channel attacks to
  unprivileged malicious code, similar to the Meltdown attack.

  While Meltdown breaks the user space to kernel space protection, L1TF
  allows to attack any physical memory address in the system and the
  attack works across all protection domains. It allows an attack of SGX
  and also works from inside virtual machines because the speculation
  bypasses the extended page table (EPT) protection mechanism.

  The assoicated CVEs are: CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646

  The mitigations provided by this pull request include:

   - Host side protection by inverting the upper address bits of a non
     present page table entry so the entry points to uncacheable memory.

   - Hypervisor protection by flushing L1 Data Cache on VMENTER.

   - SMT (HyperThreading) control knobs, which allow to 'turn off' SMT
     by offlining the sibling CPU threads. The knobs are available on
     the kernel command line and at runtime via sysfs

   - Control knobs for the hypervisor mitigation, related to L1D flush
     and SMT control. The knobs are available on the kernel command line
     and at runtime via sysfs

   - Extensive documentation about L1TF including various degrees of
     mitigations.

Merge L1 Terminal Fault fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "L1TF, aka L1 Terminal Fault, is yet another speculative hardware
  engineering trainwreck. It's a hardware vulnerability which allows
  unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in the
  Level 1 Data Cache when the page table entry controlling the virtual
  address, which is used for the access, has the Present bit cleared or
  other reserved bits set.

  If an instruction accesses a virtual address for which the relevant

pfn_modify_allowed() and arch_has_pfn_modify_check() are outside of the 
!__ASSEMBLY__ section in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h, which confuses 
assembler on archs that don't have __HAVE_ARCH_PFN_MODIFY_ALLOWED (e.g. 
ia64) and breaks build:

    include/asm-generic/pgtable.h: Assembler messages:
    include/asm-generic/pgtable.h:538: Error: Unknown opcode `static inline bool pfn_modify_allowed(unsigned long pfn,pgprot_t prot)'

    include/asm-generic/pgtable.h:545: Error: Unknown opcode `return false'
    arch/ia64/kernel/entry.S:69: Error: `mov' does not fit into bundle

Move those two static inlines into the !__ASSEMBLY__ section so that they 
don't confuse the asm build pass.

The following kernel panic was observed on ARM64 platform due to a stale
TLB entry.

 1. ioremap with 4K size, a valid pte page table is set.
 2. iounmap it, its pte entry is set to 0.
 3. ioremap the same address with 2M size, update its pmd entry with
    a new value.
 4. CPU may hit an exception because the old pmd entry is still in TLB,
    which leads to a kernel panic.

Commit b6bdb7517c3d ("mm/vmalloc: add interfaces to free unmapped page
table") has addressed this panic by falling to pte mappings in the above
case on ARM64.

To support pmd mappings in all cases, TLB purge needs to be performed
in this case on ARM64.

Add a new arg, 'addr', to pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page()
so that TLB purge can be added later in seprate patches.

For L1TF PROT_NONE mappings are protected by inverting the PFN in the page
table entry. This sets the high bits in the CPU's address space, thus
making sure to point to not point an unmapped entry to valid cached memory.

Some server system BIOSes put the MMIO mappings high up in the physical
address space. If such an high mapping was mapped to unprivileged users
they could attack low memory by setting such a mapping to PROT_NONE. This
could happen through a special device driver which is not access
protected. Normal /dev/mem is of course access protected.

To avoid this forbid PROT_NONE mappings or mprotect for high MMIO mappings.

Valid page mappings are allowed because the system is then unsafe anyways.

It's not expected that users commonly use PROT_NONE on MMIO. But to
minimize any impact this is only enforced if the mapping actually refers to
a high MMIO address (defined as the MAX_PA-1 bit being set), and also skip
the check for root.

For mmaps this is straight forward and can be handled in vm_insert_pfn and
in remap_pfn_range().

For mprotect it's a bit trickier. At the point where the actual PTEs are
accessed a lot of state has been changed and it would be difficult to undo
on an error. Since this is a uncommon case use a separate early page talk
walk pass for MMIO PROT_NONE mappings that checks for this condition
early. For non MMIO and non PROT_NONE there are no changes.

    wrong you get a trap.

    The mm changes were reviewed by Andrew Morton and others.
