Pull siginfo cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "Long ago when 2.4 was just a testing release copy_siginfo_to_user was
  made to copy individual fields to userspace, possibly for efficiency
  and to ensure initialized values were not copied to userspace.

  Unfortunately the design was complex, it's assumptions unstated, and
  humans are fallible and so while it worked much of the time that
  design failed to ensure unitialized memory is not copied to userspace.

  This set of changes is part of a new design to clean up siginfo and
  simplify things, and hopefully make the siginfo handling robust enough
  that a simple inspection of the code can be made to ensure we don't
  copy any unitializied fields to userspace.

  The design is to unify struct siginfo and struct compat_siginfo into a
  single definition that is shared between all architectures so that
  anyone adding to the set of information shared with struct siginfo can
  see the whole picture. Hopefully ensuring all future si_code
  assignments are arch independent.

  The design is to unify copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
  copy_siginfo_from_user32 so that those function are complete and cope
  with all of the different cases documented in signinfo_layout. I don't
  think there was a single implementation of either of those functions
  that was complete and correct before my changes unified them.

  The design is to introduce a series of helpers including
  force_siginfo_fault that take the values that are needed in struct
  siginfo and build the siginfo structure for their callers. Ensuring
  struct siginfo is built correctly.

  The remaining work for 4.17 (unless someone thinks it is post -rc1
  material) is to push usage of those helpers down into the
  architectures so that architecture specific code will not need to deal
  with the fiddly work of intializing struct siginfo, and then when
  struct siginfo is guaranteed to be fully initialized change copy
  siginfo_to_user into a simple wrapper around copy_to_user.

  Further there is work in progress on the issues that have been
  documented requires arch specific knowledge to sort out.

  The changes below fix or at least document all of the issues that have
  been found with siginfo generation. Then proceed to unify struct
  siginfo the 32 bit helpers that copy siginfo to and from userspace,
  and generally clean up anything that is not arch specific with regards
  to siginfo generation.

  It is a lot but with the unification you can of siginfo you can
  already see the code reduction in the kernel"

<title>arm64: fpsimd: Fix state leakage when migrating after sigreturn</title>

<id>0abdeff598a66e2bf9bfcb016eb159b11fc2887a</id>
<content type='text'>
When refactoring the sigreturn code to handle SVE, I changed the
sigreturn implementation to store the new FPSIMD state from the
user sigframe into task_struct before reloading the state into the
CPU regs.  This makes it easier to convert the data for SVE when
needed.

However, it turns out that the fpsimd_state structure passed into
fpsimd_update_current_state is not fully initialised, so assigning
the structure as a whole corrupts current-&gt;thread.fpsimd_state.cpu
with uninitialised data.

This means that if the garbage data written to .cpu happens to be a
valid cpu number, and the task is subsequently migrated to the cpu
identified by the that number, and then tries to enter userspace,
the CPU FPSIMD regs will be assumed to be correct for the task and
not reloaded as they should be.  This can result in returning to
userspace with the FPSIMD registers containing data that is stale or
that belongs to another task or to the kernel.

Knowingly handing around a kernel structure that is incompletely
initialised with user data is a potential source of mistakes,
especially across source file boundaries.  To help avoid a repeat
of this issue, this patch adapts the relevant internal API to hand
around the user-accessible subset only: struct user_fpsimd_state.

To avoid future surprises, this patch also converts all uses of
struct fpsimd_state that really only access the user subset, to use
struct user_fpsimd_state.  A few missing consts are added to
function prototypes for good measure.

Thanks to Will for spotting the cause of the bug here.

Setting si_code to 0 results in a userspace seeing an si_code of 0.
This is the same si_code as SI_USER.  Posix and common sense requires
that SI_USER not be a signal specific si_code.  As such this use of 0
for the si_code is a pretty horribly broken ABI.

Further use of si_code == 0 guaranteed that copy_siginfo_to_user saw a
value of __SI_KILL and now sees a value of SIL_KILL with the result
that uid and pid fields are copied and which might copying the si_addr
field by accident but certainly not by design.  Making this a very
flakey implementation.

Utilizing FPE_FIXME, BUS_FIXME, TRAP_FIXME siginfo_layout will now return
SIL_FAULT and the appropriate fields will be reliably copied.

But folks this is a new and unique kind of bad.  This is massively
untested code bad.  This is inventing new and unique was to get
siginfo wrong bad.  This is don't even think about Posix or what
siginfo means bad.  This is lots of eyeballs all missing the fact
that the code does the wrong thing bad.  This is getting stuck
and keep making the same mistake bad.

I really hope we can find a non userspace breaking fix for this on a
port as new as arm64.

Possible ABI fixes include:
- Send the signal without siginfo
- Don't generate a signal
- Possibly assign and use an appropriate si_code
- Don't handle cases which can't happen

Commit 9de52a755cfb6da5 ("arm64: fpsimd: Fix failure to restore FPSIMD
state after signals") fixed an issue reported in our FPSIMD signal
restore code but inadvertently introduced another issue which tends to
manifest as random SEGVs in userspace.

The problem is that when we copy the struct fpsimd_state from the kernel
stack (populated from the signal frame) into the struct held in the
current thread_struct, we blindly copy uninitialised stack into the
"cpu" field, which means that context-switching of the FP registers is
no longer reliable.

This patch fixes the problem by copying only the user_fpsimd member of
struct fpsimd_state. We should really rework the function prototypes
to take struct user_fpsimd_state * instead, but let's just get this
fixed for now.

<content type='text'>
When deciding whether to invalidate FPSIMD state cached in the cpu,
the backend function sve_flush_cpu_state() attempts to dereference
__this_cpu_read(fpsimd_last_state).  However, this is not safe:
there is no guarantee that this task_struct pointer is still valid,
because the task could have exited in the meantime.

This means that we need another means to get the appropriate value
of TIF_SVE for the associated task.

This patch solves this issue by adding a cached copy of the TIF_SVE
flag in fpsimd_last_state, which we can check without dereferencing
the task pointer.

In particular, although this patch is not a KVM fix per se, this
means that this check is now done safely in the KVM world switch
path (which is currently the only user of this code).

There is currently some duplicate logic to associate current's
FPSIMD context with the cpu when loading FPSIMD state into the cpu
regs.

Subsequent patches will update that logic, so in order to ensure it
only needs to be done in one place, this patch factors the relevant
code out into a new function fpsimd_bind_to_cpu().

<content type='text'>
The fpsimd_update_current_state() function is responsible for
loading the FPSIMD state from the user signal frame into the
current task during sigreturn.  When implementing support for SVE,
conditional code was added to this function in order to handle the
case where SVE state need to be loaded for the task and merged with
the FPSIMD data from the signal frame; however, the FPSIMD-only
case was unintentionally dropped.

As a result of this, sigreturn does not currently restore the
FPSIMD state of the task, except in the case where the system
supports SVE and the signal frame contains SVE state in addition to
FPSIMD state.

This patch fixes this bug by making the copy-in of the FPSIMD data
from the signal frame to thread_struct unconditional.

This remains a performance regression from v4.14, since the FPSIMD
state is now copied into thread_struct and then loaded back,
instead of _only_ being loaded into the CPU FPSIMD registers.
However, it is essential to call task_fpsimd_load() here anyway in
order to ensure that the SVE enable bit in CPACR_EL1 is set
correctly before returning to userspace.  This could use some
refactoring, but since sigreturn is not a fast path I have kept
this patch as a pure fix and left the refactoring for later.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "The big highlight is support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
  which required extensive ABI work to ensure we don't break existing
  applications by blowing away their signal stack with the rather large
  new vector context (&lt;= 2 kbit per vector register). There's further
  work to be done optimising things like exception return, but the ABI
  is solid now.

  Much of the line count comes from some new PMU drivers we have, but
  they're pretty self-contained and I suspect we'll have more of them in
  future.

  Plenty of acronym soup here:

   - initial support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)

   - improved handling for SError interrupts (required to handle RAS
     events)

   - enable GCC support for 128-bit integer types

   - remove kernel text addresses from backtraces and register dumps

   - use of WFE to implement long delay()s

   - ACPI IORT updates from Lorenzo Pieralisi

   - perf PMU driver for the Statistical Profiling Extension (SPE)

   - perf PMU driver for Hisilicon's system PMUs

   - misc cleanups and non-critical fixes"

Until KVM has full SVE support, guests must not be allowed to
execute SVE instructions.

This patch enables the necessary traps, and also ensures that the
traps are disabled again on exit from the guest so that the host
can still use SVE if it wants to.

On guest exit, high bits of the SVE Zn registers may have been
clobbered as a side-effect the execution of FPSIMD instructions in
the guest.  The existing KVM host FPSIMD restore code is not
sufficient to restore these bits, so this patch explicitly marks
the CPU as not containing cached vector state for any task, thus
forcing a reload on the next return to userspace.  This is an
interim measure, in advance of adding full SVE awareness to KVM.

This marking of cached vector state in the CPU as invalid is done
using __this_cpu_write(fpsimd_last_state, NULL) in fpsimd.c.  Due
to the repeated use of this rather obscure operation, it makes
sense to factor it out as a separate helper with a clearer name.
This patch factors it out as fpsimd_flush_cpu_state(), and ports
all callers to use it.

As a side effect of this refactoring, a this_cpu_write() in
fpsimd_cpu_pm_notifier() is changed to __this_cpu_write().  This
should be fine, since cpu_pm_enter() is supposed to be called only
with interrupts disabled.

<title>arm64/sve: Add sysctl to set the default vector length for new processes</title>

<id>4ffa09a939ab6d95655b3aee6ff79de48df95be7</id>
<content type='text'>
Because of the effect of SVE on the size of the signal frame, the
default vector length used for new processes involves a tradeoff
between performance of SVE-enabled software on the one hand, and
reliability of non-SVE-aware software on the other hand.

For this reason, the best choice depends on the repertoire of
userspace software in use and is thus best left up to distro
maintainers, sysadmins and developers.

If CONFIG_SYSCTL and CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL are enabled, this patch
exposes the default vector length in
/proc/sys/abi/sve_default_vector_length, where boot scripts or the
adventurous can poke it.

In common with other arm64 ABI sysctls, this control is currently
global: setting it requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the root user
namespace, but the value set is effective for subsequent execs in
all namespaces.  The control only affects _new_ processes, however:
changing it does not affect the vector length of any existing
process.

The intended usage model is that if userspace is known to be fully
SVE-tolerant (or a developer is curious to find out) then this
parameter can be cranked up during system startup.
