commit 096622104e14d8a1db4860bd557717067a0515d2 upstream.

There are some tricky dependencies between the different stages of
flushing the FPSIMD register state during exec, and these can race
with context switch in ways that can cause the old task's regs to
leak across.  In particular, a context switch during the memset() can
cause some of the task's old FPSIMD registers to reappear.

Disabling preemption for this small window would be no big deal for
performance: preemption is already disabled for similar scenarios
like updating the FPSIMD registers in sigreturn.

So, instead of rearranging things in ways that might swap existing
subtle bugs for new ones, this patch just disables preemption
around the FPSIMD state flushing so that races of this type can't
occur here.  This brings fpsimd_flush_thread() into line with other
code paths.

commit 674c242c9323d3c293fc4f9a3a3a619fe3063290 upstream.

When a task calls execve(), its FP/SIMD state is flushed so that
none of the original program state is observeable by the incoming
program.

However, since this flushing consists of setting the in-memory copy
of the FP/SIMD state to all zeroes, the CPU field is set to CPU 0 as
well, which indicates to the lazy FP/SIMD preserve/restore code that
the FP/SIMD state does not need to be reread from memory if the task
is scheduled again on CPU 0 without any other tasks having entered
userland (or used the FP/SIMD in kernel mode) on the same CPU in the
mean time. If this happens, the FP/SIMD state of the old program will
still be present in the registers when the new program starts.

So set the CPU field to the invalid value of NR_CPUS when performing
the flush, by calling fpsimd_flush_task_state().

<title>arm64: cpuinfo: Missing NULL terminator in compat_hwcap_str</title>

commit f228b494e56d949be8d8ea09d4f973d1979201bf upstream.

The loop that browses the array compat_hwcap_str will stop when a NULL
is encountered, however NULL is missing at the end of array. This will
lead to overrun until a NULL is found somewhere in the following memory.
In reality, this works out because the compat_hwcap2_str array tends to
follow immediately in memory, and that *is* terminated correctly.
Furthermore, the unsigned int compat_elf_hwcap is checked before
printing each capability, so we end up doing the right thing because
the size of the two arrays is less than 32. Still, this is an obvious
mistake and should be fixed.

Note for backporting: commit 12d11817eaafa414 ("arm64: Move
/proc/cpuinfo handling code") moved this code in v4.4. Prior to that
commit, the same change should be made in arch/arm64/kernel/setup.c.

commit 276e93279a630657fff4b086ba14c95955912dfa upstream.

When handling a data abort from EL0, we currently zero the top byte of
the faulting address, as we assume the address is a TTBR0 address, which
may contain a non-zero address tag. However, the address may be a TTBR1
address, in which case we should not zero the top byte. This patch fixes
that. The effect is that the full TTBR1 address is passed to the task's
signal handler (or printed out in the kernel log).

When handling a data abort from EL1, we leave the faulting address
intact, as we assume it's either a TTBR1 address or a TTBR0 address with
tag 0x00. This is true as far as I'm aware, we don't seem to access a
tagged TTBR0 address anywhere in the kernel. Regardless, it's easy to
forget about address tags, and code added in the future may not always
remember to remove tags from addresses before accessing them. So add tag
handling to the EL1 data abort handler as well. This also makes it
consistent with the EL0 data abort handler.

commit 7dcd9dd8cebe9fa626af7e2358d03a37041a70fb upstream.

When we take a watchpoint exception, the address that triggered the
watchpoint is found in FAR_EL1. We compare it to the address of each
configured watchpoint to see which one was hit.

The configured watchpoint addresses are untagged, while the address in
FAR_EL1 will have an address tag if the data access was done using a
tagged address. The tag needs to be removed to compare the address to
the watchpoints.

Currently we don't remove it, and as a result can report the wrong
watchpoint as being hit (specifically, always either the highest TTBR0
watchpoint or lowest TTBR1 watchpoint). This patch removes the tag.

commit 8fff105e13041e49b82f92eef034f363a6b1c071 upstream.

The perf core implicitly rejects events spanning multiple HW PMUs, as in
these cases the event-&gt;ctx will differ. However this validation is
performed after pmu::event_init() is called in perf_init_event(), and
thus pmu::event_init() may be called with a group leader from a
different HW PMU.

The ARM64 PMU driver does not take this fact into account, and when
validating groups assumes that it can call to_arm_pmu(event-&gt;pmu) for
any HW event. When the event in question is from another HW PMU this is
wrong, and results in dereferencing garbage.

This patch updates the ARM64 PMU driver to first test for and reject
events from other PMUs, moving the to_arm_pmu and related logic after
this test. Fixes a crash triggered by perf_fuzzer on Linux-4.0-rc2, with
a CCI PMU present:

commit c623b33b4e9599c6ac5076f7db7369eb9869aa04 upstream.

As with x86, mark the sys_call_table const such that it will be placed
in the .rodata section. This will cause attempts to modify the table
(accidental or deliberate) to fail when strict page permissions are in
place. In the absence of strict page permissions, there should be no
functional change.

commit c623b33b4e9599c6ac5076f7db7369eb9869aa04 upstream.

As with x86, mark the sys_call_table const such that it will be placed
in the .rodata section. This will cause attempts to modify the table
(accidental or deliberate) to fail when strict page permissions are in
place. In the absence of strict page permissions, there should be no
functional change.

<title>arm64: build vdso without libgcov</title>

commit 543097843ca7c9ac3758d0b5879ea2a6f44089de upstream.

On a cross-toolchain without glibc support, libgcov may not be
available, and attempting to build an arm64 kernel with GCOV
enabled then results in a build error:

/home/arnd/cross-gcc/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux/5.2.1/../../../../aarch64-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcov

We don't really want to link libgcov into the vdso anyway, so
this patch just disables GCOV in the vdso directory, just as
we do for most other architectures.

commit 06f9eb884be81431d54d7d37390043e3b5b7f14a upstream.

Building arm64.allmodconfig leads to the following warning:

 #define NCAPS (USB_CDC_NCM_NCAP_ETH_FILTER | USB_CDC_NCM_NCAP_CRC_MODE)

So add a ARM64 prefix to avoid such problem.

<title>arm64: avoid returning from bad_mode</title>

commit 7d9e8f71b989230bc613d121ca38507d34ada849 upstream.

Generally, taking an unexpected exception should be a fatal event, and
bad_mode is intended to cater for this. However, it should be possible
to contain unexpected synchronous exceptions from EL0 without bringing
the kernel down, by sending a SIGILL to the task.

We tried to apply this approach in commit 9955ac47f4ba1c95 ("arm64:
don't kill the kernel on a bad esr from el0"), by sending a signal for
any bad_mode call resulting from an EL0 exception.

However, this also applies to other unexpected exceptions, such as
SError and FIQ. The entry paths for these exceptions branch to bad_mode
without configuring the link register, and have no kernel_exit. Thus, if
we take one of these exceptions from EL0, bad_mode will eventually
return to the original user link register value.

This patch fixes this by introducing a new bad_el0_sync handler to cater
for the recoverable case, and restoring bad_mode to its original state,
whereby it calls panic() and never returns. The recoverable case
branches to bad_el0_sync with a bl, and returns to userspace via the
usual ret_to_user mechanism.
