<title>arm64: reject prctl(PR_PAC_RESET_KEYS) on compat tasks</title>

<id>4b7a6ce71e033666d6f5a577deb7f1f5126ed889</id>
<content type='text'>
It doesn't make sense to issue prctl(PR_PAC_RESET_KEYS) on a
compat task because the 32-bit instruction set does not offer PAuth
instructions. For consistency with other 64-bit only prctls such as
{SET,GET}_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL, reject the prctl on compat tasks.

Although this is a userspace-visible change, maybe it isn't too late
to make this change given that the hardware isn't available yet and
it's very unlikely that anyone has 32-bit software that actually
depends on this succeeding.

Some error signal need to pass proper ARM esr error code to userspace to
better identify the cause of the signal. So the function
force_signal_inject is extended to pass this as a parameter. The
existing code is not affected by this change.

When I squashed the 'allnoconfig' compiler warning about the
set_sve_default_vl() function being defined but not used in commit
1e570f512cbd ("arm64/sve: Eliminate data races on sve_default_vl"), I
accidentally broke the build for configs where ARM64_SVE is enabled, but
SYSCTL is not.

Fix this by only compiling the SVE sysctl support if both CONFIG_SVE=y
and CONFIG_SYSCTL=y.

sve_default_vl can be modified via the /proc/sys/abi/sve_default_vl
sysctl concurrently with use, and modified concurrently by multiple
threads.

Adding a lock for this seems overkill, and I don't want to think any
more than necessary, so just define wrappers using READ_ONCE()/
WRITE_ONCE().

This will avoid the possibility of torn accesses and repeated loads
and stores.

There's no evidence yet that this is going wrong in practice: this
is just hygiene.  For generic sysctl users, it would be better to
build this kind of thing into the sysctl common code somehow.

<title>sysctl: pass kernel pointers to -&gt;proc_handler</title>

Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from  userspace in common code.  This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

<title>arm64: nofpsmid: Handle TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE flag cleanly</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=52f73c383b2418f2d31b798e765ae7d596c35021'/>
<id>52f73c383b2418f2d31b798e765ae7d596c35021</id>
<content type='text'>
We detect the absence of FP/SIMD after an incapable CPU is brought up,
and by then we have kernel threads running already with TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE set
which could be set for early userspace applications (e.g, modprobe triggered
from initramfs) and init. This could cause the applications to loop forever in
do_nofity_resume() as we never clear the TIF flag, once we now know that
we don't support FP.

Fix this by making sure that we clear the TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE flag
for tasks which may have them set, as we would have done in the normal
case, but avoiding touching the hardware state (since we don't support any).

Also to make sure we handle the cases seemlessly we categorise the
helper functions to two :
 1) Helpers for common core code, which calls into take appropriate
    actions without knowing the current FPSIMD state of the CPU/task.

    e.g fpsimd_restore_current_state(), fpsimd_flush_task_state(),
        fpsimd_save_and_flush_cpu_state().

    We bail out early for these functions, taking any appropriate actions
    (e.g, clearing the TIF flag) where necessary to hide the handling
    from core code.

 2) Helpers used when the presence of FP/SIMD is apparent.
    i.e, save/restore the FP/SIMD register state, modify the CPU/task
    FP/SIMD state.
    e.g,

    fpsimd_save(), task_fpsimd_load() - save/restore task FP/SIMD registers

    fpsimd_bind_task_to_cpu()  \
                                - Update the "state" metadata for CPU/task.
    fpsimd_bind_state_to_cpu() /

    fpsimd_update_current_state() - Update the fp/simd state for the current
                                    task from memory.

    These must not be called in the absence of FP/SIMD. Put in a WARNING
    to make sure they are not invoked in the absence of FP/SIMD.

KVM also uses the TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE flag to manage the FP/SIMD state
on the CPU. However, without FP/SIMD support we trap all accesses and
inject undefined instruction. Thus we should never "load" guest state.
Add a sanity check to make sure this is valid.
