<title>powerpc/64s: flush L1D after user accesses</title>

<content type='text'>
IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1 cache
before it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction mechanism. It
is not possible for an attacker to determine the contents of impermissible
memory using this method, since these systems implement a combination of
hardware and software security measures to prevent scenarios where
protected data could be leaked.

However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker induces
the operating system to speculatively execute instructions using data that
the attacker controls. This can be used for example to speculatively bypass
"kernel user access prevention" techniques, as discovered by Anthony
Steinhauser of Google's Safeside Project. This is not an attack by itself,
but there is a possibility it could be used in conjunction with
side-channels or other weaknesses in the privileged code to construct an
attack.

This issue can be mitigated by flushing the L1 cache between privilege
boundaries of concern. This patch flushes the L1 cache after user accesses.

This is part of the fix for CVE-2020-4788.

The .comment section doesn't belong in STABS_DEBUG. Split it out into a
new macro named ELF_DETAILS. This will gain other non-debug sections

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Support for userspace to send requests directly to the on-chip GZIP
   accelerator on Power9.

 - Rework of our lockless page table walking (__find_linux_pte()) to
   make it safe against parallel page table manipulations without
   relying on an IPI for serialisation.

 - A series of fixes &amp; enhancements to make our machine check handling
   more robust.

 - Lots of plumbing to add support for "prefixed" (64-bit) instructions
   on Power10.

 - Support for using huge pages for the linear mapping on 8xx (32-bit).

 - Remove obsolete Xilinx PPC405/PPC440 support, and an associated sound
   driver.

 - Removal of some obsolete 40x platforms and associated cruft.

 - Initial support for booting on Power10.

 - Lots of other small features, cleanups &amp; fixes.

<title>vmlinux.lds.h: Create section for protection against instrumentation</title>

Some code pathes, especially the low level entry code, must be protected
against instrumentation for various reasons:

 - Low level entry code can be a fragile beast, especially on x86.

 - With NO_HZ_FULL RCU state needs to be established before using it.

Having a dedicated section for such code allows to validate with tooling
that no unsafe functions are invoked.

Add the .noinstr.text section and the noinstr attribute to mark
functions. noinstr implies notrace. Kprobes will gain a section check
later.

Provide also a set of markers: instrumentation_begin()/end()

These are used to mark code inside a noinstr function which calls
into regular instrumentable text section as safe.

The instrumentation markers are only active when CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY is
enabled as the end marker emits a NOP to prevent the compiler from merging
the annotation points. This means the objtool verification requires a
kernel compiled with this option.

Relocatable kernel builds produce a warning about .gnu.hash being an
orphan section:

  ld: warning: orphan section `.gnu.hash' from `linker stubs' being placed in section `.gnu.hash'

If we try to discard it the build fails:

  ld -EL -m elf64lppc -pie --orphan-handling=warn --build-id -o
    .tmp_vmlinux1 -T ./arch/powerpc/kernel/vmlinux.lds --whole-archive
    arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.o
    ...
    sound/built-in.a net/built-in.a virt/built-in.a --no-whole-archive
    --start-group lib/lib.a --end-group
  ld: could not find section .gnu.hash

So add an entry to explicitly retain it, as we do for .hash.

<title>bpf: Support llvm-objcopy for vmlinux BTF</title>

<id>90ceddcb495008ac8ba7a3dce297841efcd7d584</id>
<content type='text'>
Simplify gen_btf logic to make it work with llvm-objcopy. The existing
'file format' and 'architecture' parsing logic is brittle and does not
work with llvm-objcopy/llvm-objdump.

'file format' output of llvm-objdump&gt;=11 will match GNU objdump, but
'architecture' (bfdarch) may not.

.BTF in .tmp_vmlinux.btf is non-SHF_ALLOC. Add the SHF_ALLOC flag
because it is part of vmlinux image used for introspection. C code
can reference the section via linker script defined __start_BTF and
__stop_BTF. This fixes a small problem that previous .BTF had the
SHF_WRITE flag (objcopy -I binary -O elf* synthesized .data).

Additionally, `objcopy -I binary` synthesized symbols
_binary__btf_vmlinux_bin_start and _binary__btf_vmlinux_bin_stop (not
used elsewhere) are replaced with more commonplace __start_BTF and
__stop_BTF.

Add 2&gt;/dev/null because GNU objcopy (but not llvm-objcopy) warns
"empty loadable segment detected at vaddr=0xffffffff81000000, is this intentional?"

We use a dd command to change the e_type field in the ELF header from
ET_EXEC to ET_REL so that lld will accept .btf.vmlinux.bin.o.  Accepting
ET_EXEC as an input file is an extremely rare GNU ld feature that lld
does not intend to support, because this is error-prone.

The output section description .BTF in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h
avoids potential subtle orphan section placement issues and suppresses
--orphan-handling=warn warnings.

Fixes: df786c9b9476 ("bpf: Force .BTF section start to zero when dumping from vmlinux")
Fixes: cb0cc635c7a9 ("powerpc: Include .BTF section")

Selecting CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF results in the below warning from ld:
  ld: warning: orphan section `.BTF' from `.btf.vmlinux.bin.o' being placed in section `.BTF'

Include .BTF section in vmlinux explicitly to fix the same.
