commit a16e772e664b9a261424107784804cffc8894977 upstream.

Since Poly1305 requires a nonce per invocation, the Linux kernel
implementations of Poly1305 don't use the crypto API's keying mechanism
and instead expect the key and nonce as the first 32 bytes of the data.
But -&gt;setkey() is still defined as a stub returning an error code.  This
prevents Poly1305 from being used through AF_ALG and will also break it
completely once we start enforcing that all crypto API users (not just
AF_ALG) call -&gt;setkey() if present.

Fix it by removing crypto_poly1305_setkey(), leaving -&gt;setkey as NULL.

commit cd6ed77ad5d223dc6299fb58f62e0f5267f7e2ba upstream.

Templates that use an shash spawn can use crypto_shash_alg_has_setkey()
to determine whether the underlying algorithm requires a key or not.
But there was no corresponding function for ahash spawns.  Add it.

Note that the new function actually has to support both shash and ahash
algorithms, since the ahash API can be used with either.

<title>mtd: cfi: convert inline functions to macros</title>

commit 9e343e87d2c4c707ef8fae2844864d4dde3a2d13 upstream.

The map_word_() functions, dating back to linux-2.6.8, try to perform
bitwise operations on a 'map_word' structure. This may have worked
with compilers that were current then (gcc-3.4 or earlier), but end
up being rather inefficient on any version I could try now (gcc-4.4 or
higher). Specifically we hit a problem analyzed in gcc PR81715 where we
fail to reuse the stack space for local variables.

This can be seen immediately in the stack consumption for
cfi_staa_erase_varsize() and other functions that (with CONFIG_KASAN)
can be up to 2200 bytes. Changing the inline functions into macros brings
this down to 1280 bytes.  Without KASAN, the same problem exists, but
the stack consumption is lower to start with, my patch shrinks it from
920 to 496 bytes on with arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-5.4, and saves around
1KB in .text size for cfi_cmdset_0020.c, as it avoids copying map_word
structures for each call to one of these helpers.

With the latest gcc-8 snapshot, the problem is fixed in upstream gcc,
but nobody uses that yet, so we should still work around it in mainline
kernels and probably backport the workaround to stable kernels as well.
We had a couple of other functions that suffered from the same gcc bug,
and all of those had a simpler workaround involving dummy variables
in the inline function. Unfortunately that did not work here, the
macro hack was the best I could come up with.

It would also be helpful to have someone to a little performance testing
on the patch, to see how much it helps in terms of CPU utilitzation.

There's no point in building init code with retpolines, since it runs before
any potentially hostile userspace does. And before the retpoline is actually
ALTERNATIVEd into place, for much of it.

'fd' is a user controlled value that is used as a data dependency to
read from the 'fdt-&gt;fd' array.  In order to avoid potential leaks of
kernel memory values, block speculative execution of the instruction
stream that could issue reads based on an invalid 'file *' returned from
__fcheck_files.

(cherry picked from commit f3804203306e098dae9ca51540fcd5eb700d7f40)

array_index_nospec() is proposed as a generic mechanism to mitigate
against Spectre-variant-1 attacks, i.e. an attack that bypasses boundary
checks via speculative execution. The array_index_nospec()
implementation is expected to be safe for current generation CPUs across
multiple architectures (ARM, x86).

Based on an original implementation by Linus Torvalds, tweaked to remove
speculative flows by Alexei Starovoitov, and tweaked again by Linus to
introduce an x86 assembly implementation for the mask generation.

(cherry picked from commit caf7501a1b4ec964190f31f9c3f163de252273b8)

There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes
vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the
right compiler or the right option.

To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info
string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with
retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source
or prebuilt object files are not checked.

If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at
load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file.

There can be a race, if receive_buf call comes before
tty initialization completes in n_tty_open and tty-&gt;disc_data
may be NULL.

commit b027e2298bd588d6fa36ed2eda97447fb3eac078 upstream.

There can be a race, if receive_buf call comes before
tty initialization completes in n_tty_open and tty-&gt;disc_data
may be NULL.

commit 1410a90ae449061b7e1ae19d275148f36948801b upstream.

HW can implement UMR wqe re-transmission in various ways.
Thus, add HCA cap to distinguish the needed fence for UMR to make
sure that the wqe wouldn't fail on mkey checks.

[ upstream commit be95a845cc4402272994ce290e3ad928aff06cb9 ]

In addition to commit b2157399cc98 ("bpf: prevent out-of-bounds
speculation") also change the layout of struct bpf_map such that
false sharing of fast-path members like max_entries is avoided
when the maps reference counter is altered. Therefore enforce
them to be placed into separate cachelines.

pahole dump after change:

  struct bpf_map {
        const struct bpf_map_ops  * ops;                 /*     0     8 */
        struct bpf_map *           inner_map_meta;       /*     8     8 */
        void *                     security;             /*    16     8 */
        enum bpf_map_type          map_type;             /*    24     4 */
        u32                        key_size;             /*    28     4 */
        u32                        value_size;           /*    32     4 */
        u32                        max_entries;          /*    36     4 */
        u32                        map_flags;            /*    40     4 */
        u32                        pages;                /*    44     4 */
        u32                        id;                   /*    48     4 */
        int                        numa_node;            /*    52     4 */
        bool                       unpriv_array;         /*    56     1 */

        /* XXX 7 bytes hole, try to pack */

        /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
        struct user_struct *       user;                 /*    64     8 */
        atomic_t                   refcnt;               /*    72     4 */
        atomic_t                   usercnt;              /*    76     4 */
        struct work_struct         work;                 /*    80    32 */
        char                       name[16];             /*   112    16 */
        /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */

        /* size: 128, cachelines: 2, members: 17 */
        /* sum members: 121, holes: 1, sum holes: 7 */
  };

Now all entries in the first cacheline are read only throughout
the life time of the map, set up once during map creation. Overall
struct size and number of cachelines doesn't change from the
reordering. struct bpf_map is usually first member and embedded
in map structs in specific map implementations, so also avoid those
members to sit at the end where it could potentially share the
cacheline with first map values e.g. in the array since remote
CPUs could trigger map updates just as well for those (easily
dirtying members like max_entries intentionally as well) while
having subsequent values in cache.

Quoting from Google's Project Zero blog [1]:

  Additionally, at least on the Intel machine on which this was
  tested, bouncing modified cache lines between cores is slow,
  apparently because the MESI protocol is used for cache coherence
  [8]. Changing the reference counter of an eBPF array on one
  physical CPU core causes the cache line containing the reference
  counter to be bounced over to that CPU core, making reads of the
  reference counter on all other CPU cores slow until the changed
  reference counter has been written back to memory. Because the
  length and the reference counter of an eBPF array are stored in
  the same cache line, this also means that changing the reference
  counter on one physical CPU core causes reads of the eBPF array's
  length to be slow on other physical CPU cores (intentional false
  sharing).

While this doesn't 'control' the out-of-bounds speculation through
masking the index as in commit b2157399cc98, triggering a manipulation
of the map's reference counter is really trivial, so lets not allow
to easily affect max_entries from it.

Splitting to separate cachelines also generally makes sense from
a performance perspective anyway in that fast-path won't have a
cache miss if the map gets pinned, reused in other progs, etc out
of control path, thus also avoids unintentional false sharing.
