<title>ARM: 9405/1: ftrace: Don't assume stack frames are contiguous in memory</title>

<id>e3cf20e5c68df604315ab30bdbe15dc8a5da556b</id>

The frame pointer unwinder relies on a standard layout of the stack
frame, consisting of (in downward order)

   Calling frame:
     PC   &lt;---------+
     LR             |
     SP             |
     FP             |
     .. locals ..   |
   Callee frame:    |
     PC             |
     LR             |
     SP             |
     FP   ----------+

where after storing its previous value on the stack, FP is made to point
at the location of PC in the callee stack frame, using the canonical
prologue:

   mov     ip, sp
   stmdb   sp!, {fp, ip, lr, pc}
   sub     fp, ip, #4

The ftrace code assumes that this activation record is pushed first, and
that any stack space for locals is allocated below this. Strict
adherence to this would imply that the caller's value of SP at the time
of the function call can always be obtained by adding 4 to FP (which
points to PC in the callee frame).

However, recent versions of GCC appear to deviate from this rule, and so
the only reliable way to obtain the caller's value of SP is to read it
from the activation record. Since this involves a read from memory
rather than simple arithmetic, we need to use the uaccess API here which
protects against inadvertent data aborts resulting from attempts to
dereference bogus FP values.

The plain uaccess API is ftrace instrumented itself, so to avoid
unbounded recursion, use the __get_kernel_nofault() primitive directly.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
  documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
  Notable series include:

   - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
     maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
     API".

   - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in
     one test.

   - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
     Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
     /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
     allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
     patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
     largely similar code sites.

   - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
     Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
     migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
     efficiency.

   - In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
     Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
     improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

   - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
     memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
     memory almost met memcg limit".

   - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
     Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
     performance improvement in one test.

   - Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
     initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
     free_area_init_core()".

	"Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers"
	"Use folio APIs in procfs"
	"Clean up __folio_put()"
	"Some cleanups for memory-failure"
	"Remove page_mapping()"
	"More folio compat code removal"

   - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
     hugetlb functions to work on folis".

   - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
     hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

   - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
     series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

   - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
     series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

   - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
     This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
     "support multi-size THP numa balancing".

   - Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in
     the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".

execmem does not depend on modules, on the contrary modules use

To make execmem available when CONFIG_MODULES=n, for instance for
kprobes, split execmem_params initialization out from
arch/*/kernel/module.c and compile it when CONFIG_EXECMEM=y

<id>223b5e57d0d50b0c07b933350dbcde92018d3080</id>
<content type='text'>
Extend execmem parameters to accommodate more complex overrides of
module_alloc() by architectures.

This includes specification of a fallback range required by arm, arm64
and powerpc, EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA type required by powerpc, support for
allocation of KASAN shadow required by s390 and x86 and support for
late initialization of execmem required by arm64.

The core implementation of execmem_alloc() takes care of suppressing
warnings when the initial allocation fails but there is a fallback range
defined.

<id>c3f89986fde7bb9ccc86a901bf28e1f7d69fc3b3</id>
<content type='text'>
This registers a breakpoint handler for the new breakpoint type
(0x03) inserted by LLVM CLANG for CFI breakpoints.

If we are in permissive mode, just print a backtrace and continue.

Example with CONFIG_CFI_PERMISSIVE enabled:

&gt; echo CFI_FORWARD_PROTO &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
lkdtm: Performing direct entry CFI_FORWARD_PROTO
lkdtm: Calling matched prototype ...
lkdtm: Calling mismatched prototype ...
CFI failure at lkdtm_indirect_call+0x40/0x4c (target: 0x0; expected type: 0x00000000)
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 112 at lkdtm_indirect_call+0x40/0x4c
CPU: 1 PID: 112 Comm: sh Not tainted 6.8.0-rc1+ #150
Hardware name: ARM-Versatile Express
(...)
lkdtm: FAIL: survived mismatched prototype function call!
lkdtm: Unexpected! This kernel (6.8.0-rc1+ armv7l) was built with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y

As you can see the LKDTM test fails, but I expect that this would be
expected behaviour in the permissive mode.

We are currently not implementing target and type for the CFI
breakpoint as this requires additional operand bundling compiler
extensions.

CPUs without breakpoint support cannot handle breakpoints naturally,
in these cases the permissive mode will not work, CFI will fall over
on an undefined instruction:

Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] PREEMPT ARM
CPU: 0 PID: 186 Comm: ash Tainted: G        W          6.9.0-rc1+ #7
Hardware name: Gemini (Device Tree)
PC is at lkdtm_indirect_call+0x38/0x4c
LR is at lkdtm_CFI_FORWARD_PROTO+0x30/0x6c

This is reasonable I think: it's the best CFI can do to ascertain
the the control flow is not broken on these CPUs.

We find the root cause of this OOB is that arm does not clear stale stack
poison in the case of cpuidle.

This patch refer to arch/arm64/kernel/sleep.S to resolve this issue.

From cited commit [1] that explain the problem

Functions which the compiler has instrumented for KASAN place poison on
the stack shadow upon entry and remove this poison prior to returning.

In the case of cpuidle, CPUs exit the kernel a number of levels deep in
C code.  Any instrumented functions on this critical path will leave
portions of the stack shadow poisoned.

If CPUs lose context and return to the kernel via a cold path, we
restore a prior context saved in __cpu_suspend_enter are forgotten, and
we never remove the poison they placed in the stack shadow area by
functions calls between this and the actual exit of the kernel.

Thus, (depending on stackframe layout) subsequent calls to instrumented
functions may hit this stale poison, resulting in (spurious) KASAN
splats to the console.

To avoid this, clear any stale poison from the idle thread for a CPU
prior to bringing a CPU online.
