commit 7fb08eca45270d0ae86e1ad9d39c40b7a55d0190 upstream.

This replaces four copies in various stages of mm_fault_error() handling
with just a single one.  It will also allow for more natural placement
of the unlocking after some further cleanup.

<title>vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support</title>

commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

commit f3747379accba8e95d70cec0eae0582c8c182050 upstream.

SYSENTER emulation is broken in several ways:
1. It misses the case of 16-bit code segments completely (CVE-2015-0239).
2. MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_CS is checked in 64-bit mode incorrectly (bits 0 and 1 can
   still be set without causing #GP).
3. MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_EIP and MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP are not masked in
   legacy-mode.
4. There is some unneeded code.

Fix it.

commit e893286918d2cde3a94850d8f7101cd1039e0c62 upstream.

On gcc5 the kernel does not link:

  ld: .eh_frame_hdr table[4] FDE at 0000000000000648 overlaps table[5] FDE at 0000000000000670.

Because prior GCC versions always emitted NOPs on ALIGN directives, but
gcc5 started omitting them.

.LSTARTFDEDLSI1 says:

        /* HACK: The dwarf2 unwind routines will subtract 1 from the
           return address to get an address in the middle of the
           presumed call instruction.  Since we didn't get here via
           a call, we need to include the nop before the real start
           to make up for it.  */
        .long .LSTART_sigreturn-1-.     /* PC-relative start address */

But commit 69d0627a7f6e ("x86 vDSO: reorder vdso32 code") from 2.6.25
replaced .org __kernel_vsyscall+32,0x90 by ALIGN right before
__kernel_sigreturn.

Of course, ALIGN need not generate any NOP in there. Esp. gcc5 collapses
vclock_gettime.o and int80.o together with no generated NOPs as "ALIGN".

So fix this by adding to that point at least a single NOP and make the
function ALIGN possibly with more NOPs then.

Kudos for reporting and diagnosing should go to Richard.

commit f4c3686386393c120710dd34df2a74183ab805fd upstream.

drop_fpu() does clear_used_math() and usually this is correct
because tsk == current.

However switch_fpu_finish()-&gt;restore_fpu_checking() is called before
__switch_to() updates the "current_task" variable. If it fails,
we will wrongly clear the PF_USED_MATH flag of the previous task.

So use clear_stopped_child_used_math() instead.

<title>x86/fpu: Avoid math_state_restore() without used_math() in __restore_xstate_sig()</title>

<id>1e6d9ee06210b979bca6f4d3a1e1d663e0bc5bcb</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a7c80ebcac3068b1c3cb27d538d29558c30010c8 upstream.

math_state_restore() assumes it is called with irqs disabled,
but this is not true if the caller is __restore_xstate_sig().

This means that if ia32_fxstate == T and __copy_from_user()
fails, __restore_xstate_sig() returns with irqs disabled too.

This triggers:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rwsem.c:41
   dump_stack
   ___might_sleep
   ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
   __might_sleep
   down_read
   ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
   print_vma_addr
   signal_fault
   sys32_rt_sigreturn

Change __restore_xstate_sig() to call set_used_math()
unconditionally. This avoids enabling and disabling interrupts
in math_state_restore(). If copy_from_user() fails, we can
simply do fpu_finit() by hand.

[ Note: this is only the first step. math_state_restore() should
        not check used_math(), it should set this flag. While
	init_fpu() should simply die. ]

This means that if ia32_fxstate == T and __copy_from_user()
fails, __restore_xstate_sig() returns with irqs disabled too.

This triggers:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rwsem.c:41
   dump_stack
   ___might_sleep
   ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
   __might_sleep
   down_read
   ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
   print_vma_addr
   signal_fault
   sys32_rt_sigreturn

Change __restore_xstate_sig() to call set_used_math()
unconditionally. This avoids enabling and disabling interrupts
in math_state_restore(). If copy_from_user() fails, we can
simply do fpu_finit() by hand.

[ Note: this is only the first step. math_state_restore() should
        not check used_math(), it should set this flag. While
	init_fpu() should simply die. ]

<title>crypto: aesni - fix memory usage in GCM decryption</title>

commit ccfe8c3f7e52ae83155cb038753f4c75b774ca8a upstream.

The kernel crypto API logic requires the caller to provide the
length of (ciphertext || authentication tag) as cryptlen for the
AEAD decryption operation. Thus, the cipher implementation must
calculate the size of the plaintext output itself and cannot simply use
cryptlen.

The RFC4106 GCM decryption operation tries to overwrite cryptlen memory
in req-&gt;dst. As the destination buffer for decryption only needs to hold
the plaintext memory but cryptlen references the input buffer holding
(ciphertext || authentication tag), the assumption of the destination
buffer length in RFC4106 GCM operation leads to a too large size. This
patch simply uses the already calculated plaintext size.

In addition, this patch fixes the offset calculation of the AAD buffer
pointer: as mentioned before, cryptlen already includes the size of the
tag. Thus, the tag does not need to be added. With the addition, the AAD
will be written beyond the already allocated buffer.

Note, this fixes a kernel crash that can be triggered from user space
via AF_ALG(aead) -- simply use the libkcapi test application
from [1] and update it to use rfc4106-gcm-aes.

Using [1], the changes were tested using CAVS vectors to demonstrate
that the crypto operation still delivers the right results.

commit 4ff6f8e61eb7f96d3ca535c6d240f863ccd6fb7d upstream.

This has been broken for a long time: it broke first in 2.6.35, then was
almost fixed in 2.6.36 but this one-liner slipped through the cracks.
The bug shows up as an infinite loop in Windows 7 (and newer) boot on
32-bit hosts without EPT.

Windows uses CMPXCHG8B to write to page tables, which causes a
page fault if running without EPT; the emulator is then called from
kvm_mmu_page_fault.  The loop then happens if the higher 4 bytes are
not 0; the common case for this is that the NX bit (bit 63) is 1.

<title>x86/asm/entry/64: Remove a bogus 'ret_from_fork' optimization</title>

commit 956421fbb74c3a6261903f3836c0740187cf038b upstream.

'ret_from_fork' checks TIF_IA32 to determine whether 'pt_regs' and
the related state make sense for 'ret_from_sys_call'.  This is
entirely the wrong check.  TS_COMPAT would make a little more
sense, but there's really no point in keeping this optimization
at all.

This fixes a return to the wrong user CS if we came from int
0x80 in a 64-bit task.

<title>x86, mm/ASLR: Fix stack randomization on 64-bit systems</title>

<id>4f2e84da8a809db7747dd9712a120a44bebd92f3</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4e7c22d447bb6d7e37bfe39ff658486ae78e8d77 upstream.

The issue is that the stack for processes is not properly randomized on
64 bit architectures due to an integer overflow.

The affected function is randomize_stack_top() in file
"fs/binfmt_elf.c":

  static unsigned long randomize_stack_top(unsigned long stack_top)
  {
           unsigned int random_variable = 0;

           if ((current-&gt;flags &amp; PF_RANDOMIZE) &amp;&amp;
                   !(current-&gt;personality &amp; ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE)) {
                   random_variable = get_random_int() &amp; STACK_RND_MASK;
                   random_variable &lt;&lt;= PAGE_SHIFT;
           }
           return PAGE_ALIGN(stack_top) + random_variable;
           return PAGE_ALIGN(stack_top) - random_variable;
  }

Note that, it declares the "random_variable" variable as "unsigned int".
Since the result of the shifting operation between STACK_RND_MASK (which
is 0x3fffff on x86_64, 22 bits) and PAGE_SHIFT (which is 12 on x86_64):

	  random_variable &lt;&lt;= PAGE_SHIFT;

then the two leftmost bits are dropped when storing the result in the
"random_variable". This variable shall be at least 34 bits long to hold
the (22+12) result.

These two dropped bits have an impact on the entropy of process stack.
Concretely, the total stack entropy is reduced by four: from 2^28 to
2^30 (One fourth of expected entropy).

This patch restores back the entropy by correcting the types involved
in the operations in the functions randomize_stack_top() and
stack_maxrandom_size().

The successful fix can be tested with:

  $ for i in `seq 1 10`; do cat /proc/self/maps | grep stack; done
  7ffeda566000-7ffeda587000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
  7fff5a332000-7fff5a353000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
  7ffcdb7a1000-7ffcdb7c2000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
  7ffd5e2c4000-7ffd5e2e5000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
  ...

Once corrected, the leading bytes should be between 7ffc and 7fff,
rather than always being 7fff.
