[ Upstream commit de6921856f99c11d3986c6702d851e1328d4f7f6 ]

Enable tracing of the execve*() system calls with the
syscalls:sys_exit_execve tracepoint by removing the call to
forget_syscall() when starting a new thread and preserving the value of
regs-&gt;syscallno across exec.

[ Upstream commit cbdf8a189a66001c36007bf0f5c975d0376c5c3a ]

On a CPU that doesn't support SSBS, PSTATE[12] is RES0.  In a system
where only some of the CPUs implement SSBS, we end-up losing track of
the SSBS bit across task migration.

To address this issue, let's force the SSBS bit on context switch.

[ Upstream commit 8f04e8e6e29c93421a95b61cad62e3918425eac7 ]

On CPUs with support for PSTATE.SSBS, the kernel can toggle the SSBD
state without needing to call into firmware.

This patch hooks into the existing SSBD infrastructure so that SSBS is
used on CPUs that support it, but it's all made horribly complicated by
the very real possibility of big/little systems that don't uniformly
provide the new capability.

commit d263119387de9975d2acba1dfd3392f7c5979c18 upstream.

Currently, compat tasks running on arm64 can allocate memory up to
TASK_SIZE_32 (UL(0x100000000)).

This means that mmap() allocations, if we treat them as returning an
array, are not compliant with the sections 6.5.8 of the C standard
(C99) which states that: "If the expression P points to an element of
an array object and the expression Q points to the last element of the
same array object, the pointer expression Q+1 compares greater than P".

Redefine TASK_SIZE_32 to address the issue.

<title>arm64: Add support for STACKLEAK gcc plugin</title>

<id>0b3e336601b82c6afa0e9cf21db9cb8793e25399</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds support for the STACKLEAK gcc plugin to arm64 by implementing
stackleak_check_alloca(), based heavily on the x86 version, and adding the
two helpers used by the stackleak common code: current_top_of_stack() and
on_thread_stack(). The stack erasure calls are made at syscall returns.
Additionally, this disables the plugin in hypervisor and EFI stub code,
which are out of scope for the protection.

Some code cares about the SPSR_ELx format for exceptions taken from
AArch32 to inspect or manipulate the SPSR_ELx value, which is already in
the SPSR_ELx format, and not in the AArch32 PSR format.

To separate these from cases where we care about the AArch32 PSR format,
migrate these cases to use the PSR_AA32_* definitions rather than
COMPAT_PSR_*.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>arm64: signal: Report signal frame size to userspace via auxv</title>
<updated>2018-06-01T14:53:10+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Dave Martin</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.exis.tech/linux.git/commit/?id=94b07c1f8c39c6d839df35fa28ffd1785d385897'/>
<id>94b07c1f8c39c6d839df35fa28ffd1785d385897</id>
<content type='text'>
Stateful CPU architecture extensions may require the signal frame
to grow to a size that exceeds the arch's MINSIGSTKSZ #define.
However, changing this #define is an ABI break.

To allow userspace the option of determining the signal frame size
in a more forwards-compatible way, this patch adds a new auxv entry
tagged with AT_MINSIGSTKSZ, which provides the maximum signal frame
size that the process can observe during its lifetime.

If AT_MINSIGSTKSZ is absent from the aux vector, the caller can
assume that the MINSIGSTKSZ #define is sufficient.  This allows for
a consistent interface with older kernels that do not provide
AT_MINSIGSTKSZ.

The idea is that libc could expose this via sysconf() or some
similar mechanism.

There is deliberately no AT_SIGSTKSZ.  The kernel knows nothing
about userspace's own stack overheads and should not pretend to
know.

For arm64:

The primary motivation for this interface is the Scalable Vector
Extension, which can require at least 4KB or so of extra space
in the signal frame for the largest hardware implementations.

To determine the correct value, a "Christmas tree" mode (via the
add_all argument) is added to setup_sigframe_layout(), to simulate
addition of all possible records to the signal frame at maximum
possible size.

If this procedure goes wrong somehow, resulting in a stupidly large
frame layout and hence failure of sigframe_alloc() to allocate a
record to the frame, then this is indicative of a kernel bug.  In
this case, we WARN() and no attempt is made to populate
AT_MINSIGSTKSZ for userspace.

For arm64 SVE:

The SVE context block in the signal frame needs to be considered
too when computing the maximum possible signal frame size.

Because the size of this block depends on the vector length, this
patch computes the size based not on the thread's current vector
length but instead on the maximum possible vector length: this
determines the maximum size of SVE context block that can be
observed in any signal frame for the lifetime of the process.

In order to make sve_save_state()/sve_load_state() more easily
reusable and to get rid of a potential branch on context switch
critical paths, this patch makes sve_pffr() inline and moves it to
fpsimd.h.

&lt;asm/processor.h&gt; must be included in fpsimd.h in order to make
this work, and this creates an #include cycle that is tricky to
avoid without modifying core code, due to the way the PR_SVE_*()
prctl helpers are included in the core prctl implementation.

Instead of breaking the cycle, this patch defers inclusion of
&lt;asm/fpsimd.h&gt; in &lt;asm/processor.h&gt; until the point where it is
actually needed: i.e., immediately before the prctl definitions.

No functional change.

<title>arm64/sve: Move read_zcr_features() out of cpufeature.h</title>

Having read_zcr_features() inline in cpufeature.h results in that
header requiring #includes which make it hard to include
&lt;asm/fpsimd.h&gt; elsewhere without triggering header inclusion
cycles.

This is not a hot-path function and arguably should not be in
cpufeature.h in the first place, so this patch moves it to
fpsimd.c, compiled conditionally if CONFIG_ARM64_SVE=y.

This allows some SVE-related #includes to be dropped from
cpufeature.h, which will ease future maintenance.

A couple of missing #includes of &lt;asm/fpsimd.h&gt; are exposed by this
change under arch/arm64/.  This patch adds the missing #includes as
necessary.

No functional change.
