According to Tal Gilboa the only benefit from DIM comes from a driver
that uses it. So it doesn't make sense to make this symbol user visible,
instead all drivers that use it should select it (as is already the case
AFAICT).

<title>lib: untag user pointers in strn*_user</title>

Patch series "arm64: untag user pointers passed to the kernel", v19.

=== Overview

arm64 has a feature called Top Byte Ignore, which allows to embed pointer
tags into the top byte of each pointer.  Userspace programs (such as
HWASan, a memory debugging tool [1]) might use this feature and pass
tagged user pointers to the kernel through syscalls or other interfaces.

Right now the kernel is already able to handle user faults with tagged
pointers, due to these patches:

1. 81cddd65 ("arm64: traps: fix userspace cache maintenance emulation on a
             tagged pointer")
2. 7dcd9dd8 ("arm64: hw_breakpoint: fix watchpoint matching for tagged
	      pointers")
3. 276e9327 ("arm64: entry: improve data abort handling of tagged
	      pointers")

This patchset extends tagged pointer support to syscall arguments.

As per the proposed ABI change [3], tagged pointers are only allowed to be
passed to syscalls when they point to memory ranges obtained by anonymous
mmap() or sbrk() (see the patchset [3] for more details).

For non-memory syscalls this is done by untaging user pointers when the
kernel performs pointer checking to find out whether the pointer comes
from userspace (most notably in access_ok).  The untagging is done only
when the pointer is being checked, the tag is preserved as the pointer
makes its way through the kernel and stays tagged when the kernel
dereferences the pointer when perfoming user memory accesses.

The mmap and mremap (only new_addr) syscalls do not currently accept
tagged addresses.  Architectures may interpret the tag as a background
colour for the corresponding vma.

Other memory syscalls (mprotect, etc.) don't do user memory accesses but
rather deal with memory ranges, and untagged pointers are better suited to
describe memory ranges internally.  Thus for memory syscalls we untag
pointers completely when they enter the kernel.

=== Other approaches

One of the alternative approaches to untagging that was considered is to
completely strip the pointer tag as the pointer enters the kernel with
some kind of a syscall wrapper, but that won't work with the countless
number of different ioctl calls.  With this approach we would need a
custom wrapper for each ioctl variation, which doesn't seem practical.

An alternative approach to untagging pointers in memory syscalls prologues
is to inspead allow tagged pointers to be passed to find_vma() (and other
vma related functions) and untag them there.  Unfortunately, a lot of
find_vma() callers then compare or subtract the returned vma start and end
fields against the pointer that was being searched.  Thus this approach
would still require changing all find_vma() callers.

=== Testing

The following testing approaches has been taken to find potential issues
with user pointer untagging:

1. Static testing (with sparse [2] and separately with a custom static
   analyzer based on Clang) to track casts of __user pointers to integer
   types to find places where untagging needs to be done.

2. Static testing with grep to find parts of the kernel that call
   find_vma() (and other similar functions) or directly compare against
   vm_start/vm_end fields of vma.

3. Static testing with grep to find parts of the kernel that compare
   user pointers with TASK_SIZE or other similar consts and macros.

4. Dynamic testing: adding BUG_ON(has_tag(addr)) to find_vma() and running
   a modified syzkaller version that passes tagged pointers to the kernel.

Based on the results of the testing the requried patches have been added
to the patchset.

=== Notes

This patchset is meant to be merged together with "arm64 relaxed ABI" [3].

This patchset is a prerequisite for ARM's memory tagging hardware feature
support [4].

This patchset has been merged into the Pixel 2 &amp; 3 kernel trees and is
now being used to enable testing of Pixel phones with HWASan.

This patch (of 11)

This patch is a part of a series that extends kernel ABI to allow to pass
tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other than
0x00) as syscall arguments.

strncpy_from_user and strnlen_user accept user addresses as arguments, and
do not go through the same path as copy_from_user and others, so here we
need to handle the case of tagged user addresses separately.

Untag user pointers passed to these functions.

Note, that this patch only temporarily untags the pointers to perform
validity checks, but then uses them as is to perform user memory accesses.

The original clean up of "cut here" missed the WARN_ON() case (that does
not have a printk message), which was fixed recently by adding an explicit
printk of "cut here".  This had the downside of adding a printk() to every
WARN_ON() caller, which reduces the utility of using an instruction
exception to streamline the resulting code.  By making this a new BUGFLAG,
all of these can be removed and "cut here" can be handled by the exception
handler.

This was very pronounced on PowerPC, but the effect can be seen on x86 as
well.  The resulting text size of a defconfig build shows some small
savings from this patch:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
19691167        5134320 1646664 26472151        193eed7 vmlinux.before
19676362        5134260 1663048 26473670        193f4c6 vmlinux.after

This change also opens the door for creating something like BUG_MSG(),
where a custom printk() before issuing BUG(), without confusing the "cut
here" line.

<title>compiler: enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING forcibly</title>

Commit 9012d011660e ("compiler: allow all arches to enable
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING") allowed all architectures to enable this
option.  A couple of build errors were reported by randconfig, but all of
them have been ironed out.

Towards the goal of removing CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING entirely (and it
will simplify the 'inline' macro in compiler_types.h), this commit changes
it to always-on option.  Going forward, the compiler will always be
allowed to not inline functions marked 'inline'.

This is not a problem for x86 since it has been long used by
arch/x86/configs/{x86_64,i386}_defconfig.

I am keeping the config option just in case any problem crops up for other
architectures.

The code clean-up will be done after confirming this is solid.

<title>lib/hexdump: make print_hex_dump_bytes() a nop on !DEBUG builds</title>

<id>091cb0994edd20d67521094ac9c6ec9804058d9a</id>
<content type='text'>
I'm seeing a bunch of debug prints from a user of print_hex_dump_bytes()
in my kernel logs, but I don't have CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled nor do I
have DEBUG defined in my build.  The problem is that
print_hex_dump_bytes() calls a wrapper function in lib/hexdump.c that
calls print_hex_dump() with KERN_DEBUG level.  There are three cases to
consider here

  1. CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y  --&gt; call dynamic_hex_dum()
  2. CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=n &amp;&amp; DEBUG --&gt; call print_hex_dump()
  3. CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=n &amp;&amp; !DEBUG --&gt; stub it out

Right now, that last case isn't detected and we still call
print_hex_dump() from the stub wrapper.

Let's make print_hex_dump_bytes() only call print_hex_dump_debug() so that
it works properly in all cases.

Case #1, print_hex_dump_debug() calls dynamic_hex_dump() and we get same
behavior.  Case #2, print_hex_dump_debug() calls print_hex_dump() with
KERN_DEBUG and we get the same behavior.  Case #3, print_hex_dump_debug()
is a nop, changing behavior to what we want, i.e.  print nothing.
