[ Upstream commit acaab7335bd6f0c0b54ce3a00bd7f18222ce0f5f ]

The zlib inflate code has an old micro-optimization based on the
assumption that for pre-increment memory accesses, the compiler will
generate code that fits better into the processor's pipeline than what
would be generated for post-increment memory accesses.

This optimization was already removed in upstream zlib in 2016:
https://github.com/madler/zlib/commit/9aaec95e8211

This optimization causes UB according to C99, which says in section 6.5.6
"Additive operators": "If both the pointer operand and the result point to
elements of the same array object, or one past the last element of the
array object, the evaluation shall not produce an overflow; otherwise, the
behavior is undefined".

This UB is not only a theoretical concern, but can also cause trouble for
future work on compiler-based sanitizers.

According to the zlib commit, this optimization also is not optimal
anymore with modern compilers.

Replace uses of OFF, PUP and UP_UNALIGNED with their definitions in the
POSTINC case, and remove the macro definitions, just like in the upstream
patch.

commit 46d26819a5056f4831649c5887ad5c71a16d86f7 upstream.

Sometimes it is better to unregister individual nodes instead of trying
to do them all at once with software_node_unregister_nodes(), so create
software_node_unregister() so that you can unregister them one at a
time.

This is especially important when creating nodes in a hierarchy, with
parent -&gt; children representations.  Children always need to be removed
before a parent is, as the swnode logic assumes this is going to be the
case.

Fix up the lib/test_printf.c fwnode_pointer() test which to use this new
function as it had the problem of tearing things down in the backwards
order.

<title>kasan: stop tests being eliminated as dead code with FORTIFY_SOURCE</title>

[ Upstream commit adb72ae1915db28f934e9e02c18bfcea2f3ed3b7 ]

Patch series "Fix some incompatibilites between KASAN and FORTIFY_SOURCE", v4.

3 KASAN self-tests fail on a kernel with both KASAN and FORTIFY_SOURCE:
memchr, memcmp and strlen.

When FORTIFY_SOURCE is on, a number of functions are replaced with
fortified versions, which attempt to check the sizes of the operands.
However, these functions often directly invoke __builtin_foo() once they
have performed the fortify check.  The compiler can detect that the
results of these functions are not used, and knows that they have no other
side effects, and so can eliminate them as dead code.

Why are only memchr, memcmp and strlen affected?
================================================

Of string and string-like functions, kasan_test tests:

 * strchr  -&gt;  not affected, no fortified version
 * strrchr -&gt;  likewise
 * strcmp  -&gt;  likewise
 * strncmp -&gt;  likewise

 * strnlen -&gt;  not affected, the fortify source implementation calls the
               underlying strnlen implementation which is instrumented, not
               a builtin

 * strlen  -&gt;  affected, the fortify souce implementation calls a __builtin
               version which the compiler can determine is dead.

 * memchr  -&gt;  likewise
 * memcmp  -&gt;  likewise

 * memset -&gt;   not affected, the compiler knows that memset writes to its
	       first argument and therefore is not dead.

Why does this not affect the functions normally?
================================================

In string.h, these functions are not marked as __pure, so the compiler
cannot know that they do not have side effects.  If relevant functions are
marked as __pure in string.h, we see the following warnings and the
functions are elided:

lib/test_kasan.c: In function `kasan_memchr':
lib/test_kasan.c:606:2: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value]
  memchr(ptr, '1', size + 1);
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lib/test_kasan.c: In function `kasan_memcmp':
lib/test_kasan.c:622:2: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value]
  memcmp(ptr, arr, size+1);
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lib/test_kasan.c: In function `kasan_strings':
lib/test_kasan.c:645:2: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value]
  strchr(ptr, '1');
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...

This annotation would make sense to add and could be added at any point,
so the behaviour of test_kasan.c should change.

The fix
=======

Make all the functions that are pure write their results to a global,
which makes them live.  The strlen and memchr tests now pass.

The memcmp test still fails to trigger, which is addressed in the next
patch.

[ Upstream commit 18f1ca46858eac22437819937ae44aa9a8f9f2fa ]

When building 64r6_defconfig with CONFIG_MIPS32_O32 disabled and
CONFIG_CRYPTO_RSA enabled:

This special case for umul_ppmm for MIPS64r6 was added in
commit bbc25bee37d2b ("lib/mpi: Fix umul_ppmm() for MIPS64r6"), due to
GCC being inefficient and emitting a __multi3 intrinsic.

There is no such issue with clang; with this patch applied, I can build
this configuration without any problems and there are no link errors
like mentioned in the commit above (which I can still reproduce with
GCC 9.3.0 when that commit is reverted). Only use this definition when
GCC is being used.

This really should have been caught by commit b0c091ae04f67 ("lib/mpi:
Eliminate unused umul_ppmm definitions for MIPS") when I was messing
around in this area but I was not testing 64-bit MIPS at the time.

There is no such issue with clang; with this patch applied, I can build
this configuration without any problems and there are no link errors
like mentioned in the commit above (which I can still reproduce with
GCC 9.3.0 when that commit is reverted). Only use this definition when
GCC is being used.

This really should have been caught by commit b0c091ae04f67 ("lib/mpi:
Eliminate unused umul_ppmm definitions for MIPS") when I was messing
around in this area but I was not testing 64-bit MIPS at the time.

[ Upstream commit 9380ce246a052a1e00121cd480028b6907aeae38 ]

Commit 8d58f222e85f ("ubsan: disable UBSAN_ALIGNMENT under
COMPILE_TEST") tried to fix the pathological results of UBSAN_ALIGNMENT
with UBSAN_TRAP (which objtool would rightly scream about), but it made
an assumption about how COMPILE_TEST gets set (it is not set for
randconfig).  As a result, we need a bigger hammer here: just don't
allow the alignment checks with the trap mode.

<title>lib/vdso: Provide sanity check for cycles (again)</title>

commit 72ce778007e57e8996b4bebdec738fc5e1145fd2 upstream.

The original x86 VDSO implementation checked for the validity of the clock
source read by testing whether the returned signed cycles value is less
than zero. This check was also used by the vdso read function to signal
that the current selected clocksource is not VDSO capable.

During the rework of the VDSO code the check was removed and replaced with
a check for the clocksource mode being != NONE.

This turned out to be a mistake because the check is necessary for paravirt
and hyperv clock sources. The reason is that these clock sources have their
own internal sequence counter to validate the clocksource at the point of
reading it. This is necessary because the hypervisor can invalidate the
clocksource asynchronously so a check during the VDSO data update is not
sufficient. Having a separate indicator for the validity is slower than
just validating the cycles value. The check for it being negative turned
out to be the fastest implementation and safe as it would require an uptime
of ~73 years with a 4GHz counter frequency to result in a false positive.

Add an optional function to validate the cycles with a default
implementation which allows the compiler to optimize it out for
architectures which do not require it.

<title>lib/lzo: fix ambiguous encoding bug in lzo-rle</title>

commit b5265c813ce4efbfa2e46fd27cdf9a7f44a35d2e upstream.

In some rare cases, for input data over 32 KB, lzo-rle could encode two
different inputs to the same compressed representation, so that
decompression is then ambiguous (i.e.  data may be corrupted - although
zram is not affected because it operates over 4 KB pages).

This modifies the compressor without changing the decompressor or the
bitstream format, such that:

 - there is no change to how data produced by the old compressor is
   decompressed

 - an old decompressor will correctly decode data from the updated
   compressor

 - performance and compression ratio are not affected

 - we avoid introducing a new bitstream format

In testing over 12.8M real-world files totalling 903 GB, three files
were affected by this bug.  I also constructed 37M semi-random 64 KB
files totalling 2.27 TB, and saw no affected files.  Finally I tested
over files constructed to contain each of the ~1024 possible bad input
sequences; for all of these cases, updated lzo-rle worked correctly.

There is no significant impact to performance or compression ratio.

<title>vsprintf: don't obfuscate NULL and error pointers</title>
<updated>2020-05-19T18:35:38+00:00</updated>

<id>7bd57fbc4a4ddedc664cad0bbced1b469e24e921</id>
<content type='text'>
I don't see what security concern is addressed by obfuscating NULL
and IS_ERR() error pointers, printed with %p/%pK.  Given the number
of sites where %p is used (over 10000) and the fact that NULL pointers
aren't uncommon, it probably wouldn't take long for an attacker to
find the hash that corresponds to 0.  Although harder, the same goes
for most common error values, such as -1, -2, -11, -14, etc.

The NULL part actually fixes a regression: NULL pointers weren't
obfuscated until commit 3e5903eb9cff ("vsprintf: Prevent crash when
dereferencing invalid pointers") which went into 5.2.  I'm tacking
the IS_ERR() part on here because error pointers won't leak kernel
addresses and printing them as pointers shouldn't be any different
from e.g. %d with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO().  Obfuscating them just makes
debugging based on existing pr_debug and friends excruciating.

Note that the "always print 0's for %pK when kptr_restrict == 2"
behaviour which goes way back is left as is.

Example output with the patch applied:

                             ptr         error-ptr              NULL
 %p:            0000000001f8cc5b  fffffffffffffff2  0000000000000000
 %pK, kptr = 0: 0000000001f8cc5b  fffffffffffffff2  0000000000000000
 %px:           ffff888048c04020  fffffffffffffff2  0000000000000000
 %pK, kptr = 1: ffff888048c04020  fffffffffffffff2  0000000000000000
 %pK, kptr = 2: 0000000000000000  0000000000000000  0000000000000000
