exit: Add and use make_task_dead.

2023-02-01T07:23:19+00:00

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream.

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

uaccess: fix type mismatch warnings from access_ok()

2022-04-08T12:40:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 23fc539e81295b14b50c6ccc5baeb4f3d59d822d ]

On some architectures, access_ok() does not do any argument type
checking, so replacing the definition with a generic one causes
a few warnings for harmless issues that were never caught before.

Fix the ones that I found either through my own test builds or
that were reported by the 0-day bot.

ARM: Spectre-BHB workaround

2022-03-11T11:11:50+00:00

commit b9baf5c8c5c356757f4f9d8180b5e9d234065bc3 upstream.

Workaround the Spectre BHB issues for Cortex-A15, Cortex-A57,
Cortex-A72, Cortex-A73 and Cortex-A75. We also include Brahma B15 as
well to be safe, which is affected by Spectre V2 in the same ways as
Cortex-A15.

maccess: make get_kernel_nofault() check for minimal type compatibility

2020-06-18T19:10:37+00:00

Now that we've renamed probe_kernel_address() to get_kernel_nofault()
and made it look and behave more in line with get_user(), some of the
subtle type behavior differences end up being more obvious and possibly
dangerous.

When you do

        get_user(val, user_ptr);

the type of the access comes from the "user_ptr" part, and the above
basically acts as

        val = *user_ptr;

by design (except, of course, for the fact that the actual dereference
is done with a user access).

Note how in the above case, the type of the end result comes from the
pointer argument, and then the value is cast to the type of 'val' as
part of the assignment.

So the type of the pointer is ultimately the more important type both
for the access itself.

But 'get_kernel_nofault()' may now _look_ similar, but it behaves very
differently.  When you do

        get_kernel_nofault(val, kernel_ptr);

it behaves like

        val = *(typeof(val) *)kernel_ptr;

except, of course, for the fact that the actual dereference is done with
exception handling so that a faulting access is suppressed and returned
as the error code.

But note how different the casting behavior of the two superficially
similar accesses are: one does the actual access in the size of the type
the pointer points to, while the other does the access in the size of
the target, and ignores the pointer type entirely.

Actually changing get_kernel_nofault() to act like get_user() is almost
certainly the right thing to do eventually, but in the meantime this
patch adds logit to at least verify that the pointer type is compatible
with the type of the result.

In many cases, this involves just casting the pointer to 'void *' to
make it obvious that the type of the pointer is not the important part.
It's not how 'get_user()' acts, but at least the behavioral difference
is now obvious and explicit.

maccess: rename probe_kernel_address to get_kernel_nofault

2020-06-18T18:14:40+00:00

Better describe what this helper does, and match the naming of
copy_from_kernel_nofault.

Also switch the argument order around, so that it acts and looks
like get_user().

kernel: rename show_stack_loglvl() => show_stack()

2020-06-09T16:39:13+00:00

Now the last users of show_stack() got converted to use an explicit log
level, show_stack_loglvl() can drop it's redundant suffix and become once
again well known show_stack().

arm: add show_stack_loglvl()

2020-06-09T16:39:10+00:00

Currently, the log-level of show_stack() depends on a platform
realization.  It creates situations where the headers are printed with
lower log level or higher than the stacktrace (depending on a platform or
user).

Furthermore, it forces the logic decision from user to an architecture
side.  In result, some users as sysrq/kdb/etc are doing tricks with
temporary rising console_loglevel while printing their messages.  And in
result it not only may print unwanted messages from other CPUs, but also
omit printing at all in the unlucky case where the printk() was deferred.

Introducing log-level parameter and KERN_UNSUPPRESSED [1] seems an easier
approach than introducing more printk buffers.  Also, it will consolidate
printings with headers.

Introduce show_stack_loglvl(), that eventually will substitute
show_stack().

Add log level argument to dump_backtrace() as a preparation for
introducing show_stack_loglvl().

As a good side-effect __die() now prints not only "Stack:" header with
KERN_EMERG, but the backtrace itself.
