commit e41f501d391265ff568f3e49d6128cc30856a36f upstream.

If CONFIG_KASAN is enabled and gcc is configured with
--disable-initfini-array and/or gold linker is used, gcc emits
.ctors/.dtors and .text.startup/.text.exit sections instead of
.init_array/.fini_array.  .dtors section is not explicitly accounted in
the linker script and messes vvar/percpu layout.

We want:
  ffffffff822bfd80 D _edata
  ffffffff822c0000 D __vvar_beginning_hack
  ffffffff822c0000 A __vvar_page
  ffffffff822c0080 0000000000000098 D vsyscall_gtod_data
  ffffffff822c1000 A __init_begin
  ffffffff822c1000 D init_per_cpu__irq_stack_union
  ffffffff822c1000 A __per_cpu_load
  ffffffff822d3000 D init_per_cpu__gdt_page

We got:
  ffffffff8279a600 D _edata
  ffffffff8279b000 A __vvar_page
  ffffffff8279c000 A __init_begin
  ffffffff8279c000 D init_per_cpu__irq_stack_union
  ffffffff8279c000 A __per_cpu_load
  ffffffff8279e000 D __vvar_beginning_hack
  ffffffff8279e080 0000000000000098 D vsyscall_gtod_data
  ffffffff827ae000 D init_per_cpu__gdt_page

This happens because __vvar_page and .vvar get different addresses in
arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S:

	. = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE);
	__vvar_page = .;

	.vvar : AT(ADDR(.vvar) - LOAD_OFFSET) {
		/* work around gold bug 13023 */
		__vvar_beginning_hack = .;

Discard .dtors/.fini_array/.text.exit, since we don't call dtors.
Merge .text.startup into init text.

commit 2c610022711675ee908b903d242f0b90e1db661f upstream.

While this prior commit:

  54cf809b9512 ("locking,qspinlock: Fix spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait()")

... fixes spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() for the usage
in ipc/sem and netfilter, it does not in fact work right for the
usage in task_work and futex.

So while the 2 locks crossed problem:

	spin_lock(A)		spin_lock(B)
	if (!spin_is_locked(B)) spin_unlock_wait(A)
	  foo()			foo();

... works with the smp_mb() injected by both spin_is_locked() and
spin_unlock_wait(), this is not sufficient for:

	flag = 1;
	smp_mb();		spin_lock()
	spin_unlock_wait()	if (!flag)
				  // add to lockless list
	// iterate lockless list

... because in this scenario, the store from spin_lock() can be delayed
past the load of flag, uncrossing the variables and loosing the
guarantee.

This patch reworks spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() to work in
both cases by exploiting the observation that while the lock byte
store can be delayed, the contender must have registered itself
visibly in other state contained in the word.

It also allows for architectures to override both functions, as PPC
and ARM64 have an additional issue for which we currently have no
generic solution.

<title>SIGNAL: Move generic copy_siginfo() to signal.h</title>
<updated>2016-06-01T19:18:05+00:00</updated>

<id>cf1db059e661452cf84b2f8569decca0df78b06e</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ca9eb49aa9562eaadf3cea071ec7018ad6800425 upstream.

The generic copy_siginfo() is currently defined in
asm-generic/siginfo.h, after including uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h which
defines the generic struct siginfo. However this makes it awkward for an
architecture to use it if it has to define its own struct siginfo (e.g.
MIPS and potentially IA64), since it means that asm-generic/siginfo.h
can only be included after defining the arch-specific siginfo, which may
be problematic if the arch-specific definition needs definitions from
uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h.

It is possible to work around this by first including
uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h to get the constants before defining the
arch-specific siginfo, and include asm-generic/siginfo.h after. However
uapi headers can't be included by other uapi headers, so that first
include has to be in an ifdef __kernel__, with the non __kernel__ case
including the non-UAPI header instead.

Instead of that mess, move the generic copy_siginfo() definition into
linux/signal.h, which allows an arch-specific uapi/asm/siginfo.h to
include asm-generic/siginfo.h and define the arch-specific siginfo, and
for the generic copy_siginfo() to see that arch-specific definition.

commit 54cf809b9512be95f53ed4a5e3b631d1ac42f0fa upstream.

Similar to commits:

  51d7d5205d33 ("powerpc: Add smp_mb() to arch_spin_is_locked()")
  d86b8da04dfa ("arm64: spinlock: serialise spin_unlock_wait against concurrent lockers")

qspinlock suffers from the fact that the _Q_LOCKED_VAL store is
unordered inside the ACQUIRE of the lock.

And while this is not a problem for the regular mutual exclusive
critical section usage of spinlocks, it breaks creative locking like:

	spin_lock(A)			spin_lock(B)
	spin_unlock_wait(B)		if (!spin_is_locked(A))
	do_something()			  do_something()

In that both CPUs can end up running do_something at the same time,
because our _Q_LOCKED_VAL store can drop past the spin_unlock_wait()
spin_is_locked() loads (even on x86!!).

To avoid making the normal case slower, add smp_mb()s to the less used
spin_unlock_wait() / spin_is_locked() side of things to avoid this
problem.

<id>fba7cd681b6155e2d93e7862fcd6f970336b83c3</id>
<content type='text'>
The recent decoupling of pagefault disable and preempt disable added an
explicit preempt_disable/enable() pair to the futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()
implementation in asm-generic/futex.h. But it forgot to add preempt_enable()
calls to the error handling code pathes, which results in a preemption count
imbalance.

This is observable on boot when the test for atomic_cmpxchg() is calling
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() on a NULL pointer.

Add the missing preempt_enable() calls to the error handling code pathes.

This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.

Move the definition of __irq_entry to &lt;linux/interrupt.h&gt; so that the
users don't need to pull in &lt;linux/ftrace.h&gt;.  Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

__clear_bit_unlock() is a special little snowflake. While it carries the
non-atomic '__' prefix, it is specifically documented to pair with
test_and_set_bit() and therefore should be 'somewhat' atomic.

Therefore the generic implementation of __clear_bit_unlock() cannot use
the fully non-atomic __clear_bit() as a default.

If an arch is able to do better; is must provide an implementation of
__clear_bit_unlock() itself.

Specifically, this came up as a result of hackbench livelock'ing in
slab_lock() on ARC with SMP + SLUB + !LLSC.

The issue was incorrect pairing of atomic ops.

 slab_lock() -&gt; bit_spin_lock() -&gt; test_and_set_bit()
 slab_unlock() -&gt; __bit_spin_unlock() -&gt; __clear_bit()

The non serializing __clear_bit() was getting "lost"

 80543b8e:	ld_s       r2,[r13,0] &lt;--- (A) Finds PG_locked is set
 80543b90:	or         r3,r2,1    &lt;--- (B) other core unlocks right here
 80543b94:	st_s       r3,[r13,0] &lt;--- (C) sets PG_locked (overwrites unlock)

Fixes ARC STAR 9000817404 (and probably more).

Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
  that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).

  There's a background article at LWN.net:

      https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/

  The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
  user-controllable permission masks in the pte.  So instead of having a
  fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
  and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
  protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
  cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
  virtual memory range.

  This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
  amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions.  It also
  allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
  executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
  below).

  This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
  that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
  if a user-space application calls:

        mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);

  or

        mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);

  (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
  this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
  memory range.  It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
  Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
  and unwritable.

  So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
  PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
  PROT_READ as well.  Unreadable executable mappings have security
  advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
  ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
  cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.

  We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
  mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
  feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.

  There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
  call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
  pull request.

  Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
  (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
  (like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
  overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment.  If there's
  any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
  flip the default"
