[ Upstream commit c001899a5d6c2d7a0f3b75b2307ddef137fb46a6 ]

Use unified assembler syntax (UAL) in headers. Divided syntax is
considered deprecated. This will also allow to build the kernel
using LLVM's integrated assembler.

<title>ARM: 8958/1: rename missed uaccess .fixup section</title>

commit f87b1c49bc675da30d8e1e8f4b60b800312c7b90 upstream.

When the uaccess .fixup section was renamed to .text.fixup, one case was
missed. Under ld.bfd, the orphaned section was moved close to .text
(since they share the "ax" bits), so things would work normally on
uaccess faults. Under ld.lld, the orphaned section was placed outside
the .text section, making it unreachable.

<title>ARM: 8813/1: Make aligned 2-byte getuser()/putuser() atomic on ARMv6+</title>

[ Upstream commit 344eb5539abf3e0b6ce22568c03e86450073e097 ]

getuser() and putuser() (and there underscored variants) use two
strb[t]/ldrb[t] instructions when they are asked to get/put 16-bits.
This means that the read/write is not atomic even when performed to a
16-bit-aligned address.

This leads to problems with vhost: vhost uses __getuser() to read the
vring's 16-bit avail.index field, and if it happens to observe a partial
update of the index, wrong descriptors will be used which will lead to a
breakdown of the virtio communication.  A similar problem exists for
__putuser() which is used to write to the vring's used.index field.

The reason these functions use strb[t]/ldrb[t] is because strht/ldrht
instructions did not exist until ARMv6T2/ARMv7.  So we should be easily
able to fix this on ARMv7.  Also, since all ARMv6 processors also don't
actually use the unprivileged instructions anymore for uaccess (since
CONFIG_CPU_USE_DOMAINS is not used) we can easily fix them too.

<title>ARM: 8833/1: Ensure that NEON code always compiles with Clang</title>

[ Upstream commit de9c0d49d85dc563549972edc5589d195cd5e859 ]

While building arm32 allyesconfig, I ran into the following errors:

  arch/arm/lib/xor-neon.c:17:2: error: You should compile this file with
  '-mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=neon'

  In file included from lib/raid6/neon1.c:27:
  /home/nathan/cbl/prebuilt/lib/clang/8.0.0/include/arm_neon.h:28:2:
  error: "NEON support not enabled"

Building V=1 showed NEON_FLAGS getting passed along to Clang but
__ARM_NEON__ was not getting defined. Ultimately, it boils down to Clang
only defining __ARM_NEON__ when targeting armv7, rather than armv6k,
which is the '-march' value for allyesconfig.

&gt;From lib/Basic/Targets/ARM.cpp in the Clang source:

  // This only gets set when Neon instructions are actually available, unlike
  // the VFP define, hence the soft float and arch check. This is subtly
  // different from gcc, we follow the intent which was that it should be set
  // when Neon instructions are actually available.
  if ((FPU &amp; NeonFPU) &amp;&amp; !SoftFloat &amp;&amp; ArchVersion &gt;= 7) {
    Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON", "1");
    Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON__");
    // current AArch32 NEON implementations do not support double-precision
    // floating-point even when it is present in VFP.
    Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON_FP",
                        "0x" + Twine::utohexstr(HW_FP &amp; ~HW_FP_DP));
  }

Ard Biesheuvel recommended explicitly adding '-march=armv7-a' at the
beginning of the NEON_FLAGS definitions so that __ARM_NEON__ always gets
definined by Clang. This doesn't functionally change anything because
that code will only run where NEON is supported, which is implicitly
armv7.

Spectre variant 1 attacks are about this sequence of pseudo-code:

	index = load(user-manipulated pointer);
	access(base + index * stride);

In order for the cache side-channel to work, the access() must me made
to memory which userspace can detect whether cache lines have been
loaded.  On 32-bit ARM, this must be either user accessible memory, or
a kernel mapping of that same user accessible memory.

The problem occurs when the load() speculatively loads privileged data,
and the subsequent access() is made to user accessible memory.

Any load() which makes use of a user-maniplated pointer is a potential
problem if the data it has loaded is used in a subsequent access.  This
also applies for the access() if the data loaded by that access is used
by a subsequent access.

Harden the get_user() accessors against Spectre attacks by forcing out
of bounds addresses to a NULL pointer.  This prevents get_user() being
used as the load() step above.  As a side effect, put_user() will also
be affected even though it isn't implicated.

Also harden copy_from_user() by redoing the bounds check within the
arm_copy_from_user() code, and NULLing the pointer if out of bounds.

Since do_undefinstr() uses get_user to get the undefined
instruction, it can be called before kprobes processes
recursive check. This can cause an infinit recursive
exception.
Prohibit probing on get_user functions.
