Robert Jarzmik reports that his PXA25x system fails to boot with 4.12,
failing at __flush_whole_cache in arch/arm/mm/proc-xscale.S:215:
0xc0019e20 <+0>: ldr r1, [pc, #788]
0xc0019e24 <+4>: ldr r0, [r1] <== here
with r1 containing 0xc06f82cd, which is the address of "clean_addr".
Examination of the System.map shows:
c06f22c8 D user_pmd_table
c06f22cc d __warned.19178
c06f22cd d clean_addr
indicating that a .data.unlikely section has appeared just before the
.data section from proc-xscale.S. According to objdump -h, it appears
that our assembly files default their .data alignment to 2**0, which
is bad news if the preceding .data section size is not power-of-2
aligned at link time.
Add the appropriate .align directives to all assembly files in arch/arm
that are missing them where we require an appropriate alignment.

With the new task struct randomization, we can run into a build
failure for certain random seeds, which will place fields beyond
the allow immediate size in the assembly:
arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S:803: Error: bad immediate value for offset (4096)
Only two constants in asm-offset.h are affected, and I'm changing
both of them here to work correctly in all configurations.
One more macro has the problem, but is currently unused, so this
removes it instead of adding complexity.

During boot, sometimes the kernel will test to see if an instruction
causes an undefined instruction exception. Unfortunately, the exit
path for these exceptions did not restore the address limit, which
causes the rootfs mount code to fail. Fix the missing address limit
restoration.

When we enter an exception, the current address limit should not apply
to the exception context: if the exception context wishes to access
kernel space via the user accessors (eg, perf code), it must explicitly
request such access.

Commit b9b32bf70f2f ("ARM: use linker magic for vectors and vector stubs")
updated the linker script to emit the .vectors and .stubs sections into a
VMA range that is zero based and disjoint from the normal static kernel
region. The reason for that was that this way, the sections can be placed
exactly 4 KB apart, while the payload of the .vectors section is only 32
bytes.
Since the symbols that are part of the .stubs section are emitted into the
kallsyms table, they appear with zero based addresses as well, e.g.,
00001004 t vector_rst
00001020 t vector_irq
000010a0 t vector_dabt
00001120 t vector_pabt
000011a0 t vector_und
00001220 t vector_addrexcptn
00001240 t vector_fiq
00001240 T vector_fiq_offset
As this confuses perf when it accesses the kallsyms tables, commit
7122c3e9154b ("scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: only filter kernel symbols for
arm") implemented a somewhat ugly special case for ARM, where the value
of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET is passed to scripts/kallsyms, and symbols whose
addresses are below it are filtered out. Note that this special case only
applies to CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL=n, not because the issue the patch addresses
exists only in that case, but because finding a limit below which to apply
the filtering is not entirely straightforward.
Since the .vectors and .stubs sections contain position independent code
that is never executed in place, we can emit it at its most likely runtime
VMA (for more recent CPUs), which is 0xffff0000 for the vector table and
0xffff1000 for the stubs. Not only does this fix the perf issue with
kallsyms, allowing us to drop the special case in scripts/kallsyms
entirely, it also gives debuggers a more realistic view of the address
space, and setting breakpoints or single stepping through code in the
vector table or the stubs is more likely to work as expected on CPUs that
use a high vector address. E.g.,
00001240 A vector_fiq_offset
...
c0c35000 T __init_begin
c0c35000 T __vectors_start
c0c35020 T __stubs_start
c0c35020 T __vectors_end
c0c352e0 T _sinittext
c0c352e0 T __stubs_end
...
ffff1004 t vector_rst
ffff1020 t vector_irq
ffff10a0 t vector_dabt
ffff1120 t vector_pabt
ffff11a0 t vector_und
ffff1220 t vector_addrexcptn
ffff1240 T vector_fiq
(Note that vector_fiq_offset is now an absolute symbol, which kallsyms
already ignores by default)
The LMA footprint is identical with or without this change, only the VMAs
are different:

Commit b9b32bf70f2f ("ARM: use linker magic for vectors and vector stubs")
introduced new global definitions of __vectors_start and __stubs_start,
and changed the existing ones to have internal linkage only. However, these
symbols are still visible to kallsyms, and due to the way the .vectors and
.stubs sections are emitted at the base of the VMA space, these duplicate
definitions have conflicting values.
$ nm -n vmlinux |grep -E __vectors|__stubs
00000000 t __vectors_start
00001000 t __stubs_start
c0e77000 T __vectors_start
c0e77020 T __stubs_start
This is completely harmless by itself, since the wrong values are local
symbols that cannot be referenced by other object files directly. However,
since these symbols are also listed in the kallsyms symbol table in some
cases (i.e., CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y and CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL=y), having these
conflicting values can be confusing. So either remove them, or make them
strictly local.

Mark Brand reports that a NEEDS_SYSCALL_FOR_CMPXCHG enabled kernel would
open a security hole in the ghost syscall used to implement cmpxchg, as
it fails to validate the user pointer.
However, in order for this option to be enabled, you'd need to be
building a pre-ARMv6 kernel with SMP support. There is only one system
known which fits that, which is an early ARM SMP FPGA implementation
based on the ARM926T.
In any case, the Kconfig does not allow SMP to be enabled for pre-ARMv6
systems.
Moreover, even if NEEDS_SYSCALL_FOR_CMPXCHG were to be enabled, the
kernel would not build as __ARM_NR_cmpxchg64 is not defined.
The simple answer is to remove the buggy code.

Provide hooks into the kernel entry and exit paths to permit control
of userspace visibility to the kernel. The intended use is:
- on entry to kernel from user, uaccess_disable will be called to
disable userspace visibility
- on exit from kernel to user, uaccess_enable will be called to
enable userspace visibility
- on entry from a kernel exception, uaccess_save_and_disable will be
called to save the current userspace visibility setting, and disable
access
- on exit from a kernel exception, uaccess_restore will be called to
restore the userspace visibility as it was before the exception
occurred.
These hooks allows us to keep userspace visibility disabled for the
vast majority of the kernel, except for localised regions where we
want to explicitly access userspace.

Rather than modifying both the domain access control register and our
per-thread copy, modify only the domain access control register, and
use the per-thread copy to save and restore the register over context
switches. We can also avoid the explicit initialisation of the
init thread_info structure.
This allows us to avoid needing to gain access to the thread information
at the uaccess control sites.

That said, each fixup branch (including this one) is independent and

BSYM() was invented to allow us to work around a problem with the
assembler, where local symbols resolved by the assembler for the 'adr'
instruction did not take account of their ISA.
Since we don't want BSYM() used elsewhere, replace BSYM() with a new
macro 'badr', which is like the 'adr' pseudo-op, but with the BSYM()
mechanics integrated into it. This ensures that the BSYM()-ification
is only used in conjunction with 'adr'.

This patch introduces a new default FIQ handler that is structured in a
similar way to the existing ARM exception handler and result in the FIQ
being handled by C code running on the SVC stack (despite this code run
in the FIQ handler is subject to severe limitations with respect to
locking making normal interaction with the kernel impossible).
This default handler allows concepts that on x86 would be handled using
NMIs to be realized on ARM.

ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used
to return from function calls. Recent CPUs perform better when the
"bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction,
and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM
architecture manual (section A.4.1.1).
We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition
code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction.
Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all
the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of
the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code. This allows us to detect
the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility
of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

We will reach fixup handler when one thread(say cpu0) caused an undefined exception, while another thread(say cpu1) is unmmaping the page.
Fixup handler returns to the next userspace instruction which has caused the undef execption, rather than going to the same instruction.
ARM ARM says that after undefined exception, the PC will be pointing
to the next instruction. ie +4 offset in case of ARM and +2 in case of Thumb
And there is no correction offset passed to vector_stub in case of
undef exception.
File: arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S +1085

During an undefined exception, in normal scenario(ie when ldrt
instruction does not cause an abort) after resorting the context in
VFP hardware, the PC is modified as show below before jumping to
ret_from_exception which is in r9.
File: arch/arm/vfp/vfphw.S +169
@ The context stored in the VFP hardware is up to date with this thread
vfp_hw_state_valid:
tst r1, #FPEXC_EX
bne process_exception @ might as well handle the pending

str r2, [sp, #S_PC] @ mode it's two 16-bit instructions,
@ else it's one 32-bit instruction, so
@ always subtract 4 from the following
@ instruction address.
But if ldrt results in an abort, we reach the fixup handler and return
to ret_from_execption without correcting the pc.
This patch modifes the fixup handler to re-execute the same instruction which caused undefined execption.

The Undef abort handler in the kernel reads the undefined instruction
from user space. If the page table was modified from another CPU, the
user access could fail and do_page_fault() will be executed with
interrupts disabled. This can potentially deadlock on ARM11MPCore or on
Cortex-A15 with erratum 798181 workaround enabled (both implying IPI for
TLB maintenance with page table lock held).
This patch enables the IRQs in __und_usr before attempting to read the
instruction from user space.

The exception handling code fails to clear the IT state, potentially
leading to incorrect execution of the fixup if the size of the IT
block is more than one.
Let fixup_exception do the IT sanitizing if a fixup has been found,
and restore CPSR from the stack when returning from a data abort.

Provide a kernel configuration option to allow the kernel user helpers
to be removed from the vector page, thereby preventing their use with
ROP (return orientated programming) attacks. This option is only
visible for CPU architectures which natively support all the operations
which kernel user helpers would normally provide, and must be enabled
with caution.

Use linker magic to create the vectors and vector stubs: we can tell the
linker to place them at an appropriate VMA, but keep the LMA within the
kernel. This gets rid of some unnecessary symbol manipulation, and
have the linker calculate the relocations appropriately.

Move the machine vector stubs into the page above the vector page,
which we can prevent from being visible to userspace. Also move
the reset stub, and place the swi vector at a location that the
'ldr' can get to it.
This hides pointers into the kernel which could give valuable
information to attackers, and reduces the number of exploitable
instructions at a fixed address.

Since commit 6a1c53124aa1 the user writeable TLS register was zeroed to
prevent it from being used as a covert channel between two tasks.
There are more and more applications coming to Windows RT,
Wine could support them, but mostly they expect to have
the thread environment block (TEB) in TPIDRURW.
This patch preserves that register per thread instead of clearing it.
Unlike the TPIDRURO, which is already switched, the TPIDRURW
can be updated from userspace so needs careful treatment in the case that we
modify TPIDRURW and call fork(). To avoid this we must always read
TPIDRURW in copy_thread.

commit 91d1aa43 (context_tracking: New context tracking susbsystem)
generalized parts of the RCU userspace extended quiescent state into
the context tracking subsystem. Context tracking is then used
to implement adaptive tickless (a.k.a extended nohz)
To support the new context tracking subsystem on ARM, the user/kernel
boundary transtions need to be instrumented.
For exceptions and IRQs in usermode, the existing usr_entry macro is
used to instrument the user->kernel transition. For the return to
usermode path, the ret_to_user* path is instrumented. Using the
usr_entry macro, this covers interrupts in userspace, data abort and
prefetch abort exceptions in userspace as well as undefined exceptions
in userspace (which is where FP emulation and VFP are handled.)
For syscalls, the slow return path is covered by instrumenting the
ret_to_user path. In addition, the syscall entry point is
instrumented which covers the user->kernel transition for both fast
and slow syscalls, and an additional instrumentation point is added
for the fast syscall return path (ret_fast_syscall).

We don't need to keep reloading the thread into into r10 - we can do
this once and keep the value cached in the register. Also, schedule
some instructions better so that the pipeline doesn't stall after a

While trying to get a v3.5 kernel booted on the cubox, I noticed that
VFP does not work correctly with VFP bounce handling. This is because
of the confusion over 16-bit vs 32-bit instructions, and where PC is
supposed to point to.
The rule is that FP handlers are entered with regs->ARM_pc pointing at
the _next_ instruction to be executed. However, if the exception is
not handled, regs->ARM_pc points at the faulting instruction.
This is easy for ARM mode, because we know that the next instruction and
previous instructions are separated by four bytes. This is not true of
Thumb2 though.
Since all FP instructions are 32-bit in Thumb2, it makes things easy.
We just need to select the appropriate adjustment. Do this by moving
the adjustment out of do_undefinstr() into the assembly code, as only
the assembly code knows whether it's dealing with a 32-bit or 16-bit
instruction.

Fixup entries in the kernel exception tables should be 4-byte aligned
since we return directly to them when handling a faulting instruction in
the kernel.
This patch adds the missing align directives to the fixup entries.

This patch removes support for ARMv3 CPUs, which haven't worked properly
for quite some time (see the FIXME comment in arch/arm/mm/fault.c). The
only V3 parts left is the cache model for ARMv3, which is needed for some
odd reason by ARM740T CPUs, and being able to build with -march=armv3,
which is required for the RiscPC platform due to its bus structure.
