The hardware XRSTOR instruction resets the PKRU register to its hardware
init value (namely 0) if the PKRU bit is not set in the xfeatures mask.
Emulating that here restores the pre-5.14 behavior for PTRACE_SET_REGSET
with NT_X86_XSTATE, and makes sigreturn (which still uses XRSTOR) and
ptrace behave identically. KVM has never used XRSTOR and never had this
behavior, so KVM opts-out of this emulation by passing a NULL pkru pointer
to copy_uabi_to_xstate().

Move KVM's PKRU handling code in fpu_copy_uabi_to_guest_fpstate() to
copy_uabi_to_xstate() so that it is shared with other APIs that write the
XSTATE such as PTRACE_SETREGSET with NT_X86_XSTATE.

This restores the pre-5.14 behavior of ptrace. The regression can be seen
by running gdb and executing `p $pkru`, `set $pkru = 42`, and `p $pkru`.
On affected kernels (5.14+) the write to the PKRU register (which gdb
performs through ptrace) is ignored.

[ dhansen: removed stable@ tag for now.  The ABI was broken for long
	   enough that this is not urgent material.  Let's let it stew
	   in tip for a few weeks before it's submitted to stable
	   because there are so many ABIs potentially affected. ]

Both KVM (through KVM_SET_XSTATE) and ptrace (through PTRACE_SETREGSET
with NT_X86_XSTATE) ultimately call copy_uabi_from_kernel_to_xstate(),
but the canonical locations for the current PKRU value for KVM guests
and processes in a ptrace stop are different (in the kvm_vcpu_arch and
the thread_state structs respectively).

In preparation for eventually handling PKRU in
copy_uabi_to_xstate, pass in a pointer to the PKRU location.

Mike Galbraith reported the following against an old fork of preempt-rt
but the same issue also applies to the current preempt-rt tree.

   BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:46
   in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 1, name: systemd
   preempt_count: 1, expected: 0
   RCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0
   Preemption disabled at:
   fpu_clone
   CPU: 6 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Tainted: G            E       (unreleased)
   Call Trace:
    &lt;TASK&gt;
    dump_stack_lvl
    ? fpu_clone
    __might_resched
    rt_spin_lock
    fpu_clone

    ? do_syscall_64
    ? exc_page_fault
    ? entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
    &lt;/TASK&gt;

Mike says:

  The splat comes from fpu_inherit_perms() being called under fpregs_lock(),
  and us reaching the spin_lock_irq() therein due to fpu_state_size_dynamic()
  returning true despite static key __fpu_state_size_dynamic having never
  been enabled.

Mike's assessment looks correct. fpregs_lock on a PREEMPT_RT kernel disables
preemption so calling spin_lock_irq() in fpu_inherit_perms() is unsafe. This
problem exists since commit

  9e798e9aa14c ("x86/fpu: Prepare fpu_clone() for dynamically enabled features").

Even though the original bug report should not have enabled the paths at
all, the bug still exists.

fpregs_lock is necessary when editing the FPU registers or a task's FP
state but it is not necessary for fpu_inherit_perms(). The only write
of any FP state in fpu_inherit_perms() is for the new child which is
not running yet and cannot context switch or be borrowed by a kernel
thread yet. Hence, fpregs_lock is not protecting anything in the new
child until clone() completes and can be dropped earlier. The siglock
still needs to be acquired by fpu_inherit_perms() as the read of the
parent's permissions has to be serialised.

When a CPU enters an idle state, a non-initialized AMX register state may
be the cause of preventing a deeper low-power state. Other extended
register states whether initialized or not do not impact the CPU idle
state.

The new helper can ensure the AMX state is initialized before the CPU is
idle, and it will be used by the intel idle driver.

Check the AMX_TILE feature bit before using XGETBV1 as a chain of
dependencies was established via cpuid_deps[]: AMX-&gt;XFD-&gt;XGETBV1.

Pull kthread updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This updates init and user mode helper tasks to be ordinary user mode
  tasks.

  Commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for
  all kthreads") caused init and the user mode helper threads that call
  kernel_execve to have struct kthread allocated for them. This struct
  kthread going away during execve in turned made a use after free of
  struct kthread possible.

  Here, commit 343f4c49f243 ("kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for
  init and umh") is enough to fix the use after free and is simple
  enough to be backportable.

  The rest of the changes pass struct kernel_clone_args to clean things
  up and cause the code to make sense.

  In making init and the user mode helpers tasks purely user mode tasks
  I ran into two complications. The function task_tick_numa was
  detecting tasks without an mm by testing for the presence of
  PF_KTHREAD. The initramfs code in populate_initrd_image was using
  flush_delayed_fput to ensuere the closing of all it's file descriptors
  was complete, and flush_delayed_fput does not work in a userspace
  thread.

  I have looked and looked and more complications and in my code review
  I have not found any, and neither has anyone else with the code
  sitting in linux-next"

  up and cause the code to make sense.

  In making init and the user mode helpers tasks purely user mode tasks
  I ran into two complications. The function task_tick_numa was
  detecting tasks without an mm by testing for the presence of
  PF_KTHREAD. The initramfs code in populate_initrd_image was using
  flush_delayed_fput to ensuere the closing of all it's file descriptors
  was complete, and flush_delayed_fput does not work in a userspace
  thread.

  I have looked and looked and more complications and in my code review
  I have not found any, and neither has anyone else with the code
  sitting in linux-next"

<title>x86/fpu: KVM: Set the base guest FPU uABI size to sizeof(struct kvm_xsave)</title>

<content type='text'>
Set the starting uABI size of KVM's guest FPU to 'struct kvm_xsave',
i.e. to KVM's historical uABI size.  When saving FPU state for usersapce,
KVM (well, now the FPU) sets the FP+SSE bits in the XSAVE header even if
the host doesn't support XSAVE.  Setting the XSAVE header allows the VM
to be migrated to a host that does support XSAVE without the new host
having to handle FPU state that may or may not be compatible with XSAVE.

Setting the uABI size to the host's default size results in out-of-bounds
writes (setting the FP+SSE bits) and data corruption (that is thankfully
caught by KASAN) when running on hosts without XSAVE, e.g. on Core2 CPUs.

WARN if the default size is larger than KVM's historical uABI size; all
features that can push the FPU size beyond the historical size must be
opt-in.

Add fn and fn_arg members into struct kernel_clone_args and test for
them in copy_thread (instead of testing for PF_KTHREAD | PF_IO_WORKER).
This allows any task that wants to be a user space task that only runs
in kernel mode to use this functionality.

The code on x86 is an exception and still retains a PF_KTHREAD test
because x86 unlikely everything else handles kthreads slightly
differently than user space tasks that start with a function.

The functions that created tasks that start with a function
have been updated to set ".fn" and ".fn_arg" instead of
".stack" and ".stack_size".  These functions are fork_idle(),
create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread().

<title>x86/fpu: Prevent FPU state corruption</title>

<id>59f5ede3bc0f00eb856425f636dab0c10feb06d8</id>
<content type='text'>
The FPU usage related to task FPU management is either protected by
disabling interrupts (switch_to, return to user) or via fpregs_lock() which
is a wrapper around local_bh_disable(). When kernel code wants to use the
FPU then it has to check whether it is possible by calling irq_fpu_usable().

But the condition in irq_fpu_usable() is wrong. It allows FPU to be used
when:

   !in_interrupt() || interrupted_user_mode() || interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle()

The latter is checking whether some other context already uses FPU in the
kernel, but if that's not the case then it allows FPU to be used
unconditionally even if the calling context interrupted a fpregs_lock()
critical region. If that happens then the FPU state of the interrupted
context becomes corrupted.

Allow in kernel FPU usage only when no other context has in kernel FPU
usage and either the calling context is not hard interrupt context or the
hard interrupt did not interrupt a local bottomhalf disabled region.

It's hard to find a proper Fixes tag as the condition was broken in one way
or the other for a very long time and the eager/lazy FPU changes caused a
lot of churn. Picked something remotely connected from the history.

This survived undetected for quite some time as FPU usage in interrupt
context is rare, but the recent changes to the random code unearthed it at
least on a kernel which had FPU debugging enabled. There is probably a
higher rate of silent corruption as not all issues can be detected by the
FPU debugging code. This will be addressed in a subsequent change.
