2024-02-19parisc: Fix stack unwinderGuenter Roeck
Debugging shows a large number of unaligned access traps in the unwinder code. Code analysis reveals a number of issues with this code: - handle_interruption is passed twice through dereference_kernel_function_descriptor() - ret_from_kernel_thread, syscall_exit, intr_return, _switch_to_ret, and _call_on_stack are passed through dereference_kernel_function_descriptor() even though they are not declared as function pointers. To fix the problems, drop one of the calls to dereference_kernel_function_descriptor() for handle_interruption, and compare the other pointers directly.

2024-02-07Revert "parisc: Only list existing CPUs in cpu_possible_mask"Helge Deller
This reverts commit 0921244f6f4f0d05698b953fe632a99b38907226. It broke CPU hotplugging because it modifies the __cpu_possible_mask after bootup, so that it will be different than nr_cpu_ids, which then effictively breaks the workqueue setup code and triggers crashes when shutting down CPUs at runtime. Guenter was the first who noticed the wrong values in __cpu_possible_mask, since the cpumask Kunit tests were failig. Reverting this commit fixes both issues, but sadly brings back this uncritical runtime warning: register_cpu_capacity_sysctl: too early to get CPU4 device!

2024-01-31parisc: BTLB: Fix crash when setting up BTLB at CPU bringupHelge Deller
When using hotplug and bringing up a 32-bit CPU, ask the firmware about the BTLB information to set up the static (block) TLB entries. For that write access to the static btlb_info struct is needed, but since it is marked __ro_after_init the kernel segfaults with missing write permissions. Fix the crash by dropping the __ro_after_init annotation.

2024-01-30parisc: Fix random data corruption from exception handlerHelge Deller
The current exception handler implementation, which assists when accessing user space memory, may exhibit random data corruption if the compiler decides to use a different register than the specified register %r29 (defined in ASM_EXCEPTIONTABLE_REG) for the error code. If the compiler choose another register, the fault handler will nevertheless store -EFAULT into %r29 and thus trash whatever this register is used for. Looking at the assembly I found that this happens sometimes in emulate_ldd(). To solve the issue, the easiest solution would be if it somehow is possible to tell the fault handler which register is used to hold the error code. Using %0 or %1 in the inline assembly is not posssible as it will show up as e.g. %r29 (with the "%r" prefix), which the GNU assembler can not convert to an integer. This patch takes another, better and more flexible approach: We extend the __ex_table (which is out of the execution path) by one 32-word. In this word we tell the compiler to insert the assembler instruction "or %r0,%r0,%reg", where %reg references the register which the compiler choosed for the error return code. In case of an access failure, the fault handler finds the __ex_table entry and can examine the opcode. The used register is encoded in the lowest 5 bits, and the fault handler can then store -EFAULT into this register. Since we extend the __ex_table to 3 words we can't use the BUILDTIME_TABLE_SORT config option any longer. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v6.0+

2024-01-09Merge tag 'lsm-pr-20240105' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm Pull security module updates from Paul Moore: - Add three new syscalls: lsm_list_modules(), lsm_get_self_attr(), and lsm_set_self_attr(). The first syscall simply lists the LSMs enabled, while the second and third get and set the current process' LSM attributes. Yes, these syscalls may provide similar functionality to what can be found under /proc or /sys, but they were designed to support multiple, simultaneaous (stacked) LSMs from the start as opposed to the current /proc based solutions which were created at a time when only one LSM was allowed to be active at a given time. We have spent considerable time discussing ways to extend the existing /proc interfaces to support multiple, simultaneaous LSMs and even our best ideas have been far too ugly to support as a kernel API; after +20 years in the kernel, I felt the LSM layer had established itself enough to justify a handful of syscalls. Support amongst the individual LSM developers has been nearly unanimous, with a single objection coming from Tetsuo (TOMOYO) as he is worried that the LSM_ID_XXX token concept will make it more difficult for out-of-tree LSMs to survive. Several members of the LSM community have demonstrated the ability for out-of-tree LSMs to continue to exist by picking high/unused LSM_ID values as well as pointing out that many kernel APIs rely on integer identifiers, e.g. syscalls (!), but unfortunately Tetsuo's objections remain. My personal opinion is that while I have no interest in penalizing out-of-tree LSMs, I'm not going to penalize in-tree development to support out-of-tree development, and I view this as a necessary step forward to support the push for expanded LSM stacking and reduce our reliance on /proc and /sys which has occassionally been problematic for some container users. Finally, we have included the linux-api folks on (all?) recent revisions of the patchset and addressed all of their concerns. - Add a new security_file_ioctl_compat() LSM hook to handle the 32-bit ioctls on 64-bit systems problem. This patch includes support for all of the existing LSMs which provide ioctl hooks, although it turns out only SELinux actually cares about the individual ioctls. It is worth noting that while Casey (Smack) and Tetsuo (TOMOYO) did not give explicit ACKs to this patch, they did both indicate they are okay with the changes. - Fix a potential memory leak in the CALIPSO code when IPv6 is disabled at boot. While it's good that we are fixing this, I doubt this is something users are seeing in the wild as you need to both disable IPv6 and then attempt to configure IPv6 labeled networking via NetLabel/CALIPSO; that just doesn't make much sense. Normally this would go through netdev, but Jakub asked me to take this patch and of all the trees I maintain, the LSM tree seemed like the best fit. - Update the LSM MAINTAINERS entry with additional information about our process docs, patchwork, bug reporting, etc. I also noticed that the Lockdown LSM is missing a dedicated MAINTAINERS entry so I've added that to the pull request. I've been working with one of the major Lockdown authors/contributors to see if they are willing to step up and assume a Lockdown maintainer role; hopefully that will happen soon, but in the meantime I'll continue to look after it. - Add a handful of mailmap entries for Serge Hallyn and myself. * tag 'lsm-pr-20240105' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm: (27 commits) lsm: new security_file_ioctl_compat() hook lsm: Add a __counted_by() annotation to lsm_ctx.ctx calipso: fix memory leak in netlbl_calipso_add_pass() selftests: remove the LSM_ID_IMA check in lsm/lsm_list_modules_test MAINTAINERS: add an entry for the lockdown LSM MAINTAINERS: update the LSM entry mailmap: add entries for Serge Hallyn's dead accounts mailmap: update/replace my old email addresses lsm: mark the lsm_id variables are marked as static lsm: convert security_setselfattr() to use memdup_user() lsm: align based on pointer length in lsm_fill_user_ctx() lsm: consolidate buffer size handling into lsm_fill_user_ctx() lsm: correct error codes in security_getselfattr() lsm: cleanup the size counters in security_getselfattr() lsm: don't yet account for IMA in LSM_CONFIG_COUNT calculation lsm: drop LSM_ID_IMA LSM: selftests for Linux Security Module syscalls SELinux: Add selfattr hooks AppArmor: Add selfattr hooks Smack: implement setselfattr and getselfattr hooks ...

2024-01-08Merge tag 'vfs-6.8.mount' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the work to retrieve detailed information about mounts via two new system calls. This is hopefully the beginning of the end of the saga that started with fsinfo() years ago. The LWN articles in [1] and [2] can serve as a summary so we can avoid rehashing everything here. At LSFMM in May 2022 we got into a room and agreed on what we want to do about fsinfo(). Basically, split it into pieces. This is the first part of that agreement. Specifically, it is concerned with retrieving information about mounts. So this only concerns the mount information retrieval, not the mount table change notification, or the extended filesystem specific mount option work. That is separate work. Currently mounts have a 32bit id. Mount ids are already in heavy use by libmount and other low-level userspace but they can't be relied upon because they're recycled very quickly. We agreed that mounts should carry a unique 64bit id by which they can be referenced directly. This is now implemented as part of this work. The new 64bit mount id is exposed in statx() through the new STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE flag. If the flag isn't raised the old mount id is returned. If it is raised and the kernel supports the new 64bit mount id the flag is raised in the result mask and the new 64bit mount id is returned. New and old mount ids do not overlap so they cannot be conflated. Two new system calls are introduced that operate on the 64bit mount id: statmount() and listmount(). A summary of the api and usage can be found on LWN as well (cf. [3]) but of course, I'll provide a summary here as well. Both system calls rely on struct mnt_id_req. Which is the request struct used to pass the 64bit mount id identifying the mount to operate on. It is extensible to allow for the addition of new parameters and for future use in other apis that make use of mount ids. statmount() mimicks the semantics of statx() and exposes a set flags that userspace may raise in mnt_id_req to request specific information to be retrieved. A statmount() call returns a struct statmount filled in with information about the requested mount. Supported requests are indicated by raising the request flag passed in struct mnt_id_req in the @mask argument in struct statmount. Currently we do support: - STATMOUNT_SB_BASIC: Basic filesystem info - STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC Mount information (mount id, parent mount id, mount attributes etc) - STATMOUNT_PROPAGATE_FROM Propagation from what mount in current namespace - STATMOUNT_MNT_ROOT Path of the root of the mount (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /bla) - STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT Path of the mount point (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /mnt) - STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE Name of the filesystem type as the magic number isn't enough due to submounts The string options STATMOUNT_MNT_{ROOT,POINT} and STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE are appended to the end of the struct. Userspace can use the offsets in @fs_type, @mnt_root, and @mnt_point to reference those strings easily. The struct statmount reserves quite a bit of space currently for future extensibility. This isn't really a problem and if this bothers us we can just send a follow-up pull request during this cycle. listmount() is given a 64bit mount id via mnt_id_req just as statmount(). It takes a buffer and a size to return an array of the 64bit ids of the child mounts of the requested mount. Userspace can thus choose to either retrieve child mounts for a mount in batches or iterate through the child mounts. For most use-cases it will be sufficient to just leave space for a few child mounts. But for big mount tables having an iterator is really helpful. Iterating through a mount table works by setting @param in mnt_id_req to the mount id of the last child mount retrieved in the previous listmount() call" Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/934469 [1] Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/829212 [2] Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/950569 [3] * tag 'vfs-6.8.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: add selftest for statmount/listmount fs: keep struct mnt_id_req extensible wire up syscalls for statmount/listmount add listmount(2) syscall statmount: simplify string option retrieval statmount: simplify numeric option retrieval add statmount(2) syscall namespace: extract show_path() helper mounts: keep list of mounts in an rbtree add unique mount ID
2024-01-07parisc/firmware: Fix F-extend for PDC addressesHelge Deller
When running with narrow firmware (64-bit kernel using a 32-bit firmware), extend PDC addresses into the 0xfffffff0.00000000 region instead of the 0xf0f0f0f0.00000000 region. This fixes the power button on the C3700 machine in qemu (64-bit CPU with 32-bit firmware), and my assumption is that the previous code was really never used (because most 64-bit machines have a 64-bit firmware), or it just worked on very old machines because they may only decode 40-bit of virtual addresses.

The instruction will take effect by the 12th instruction after the insert or purge. I believe we have a problem with handling TLB misses. We don't fill the pipeline following TLB inserts. As a result, we likely fault again after returning from the interruption. The above statement indicates that we need at least seven instructions after the insert on pre PA8800 processors and we need 12 instructions on PA8800/PA8900 processors. Here we add macros and code to provide the required number instructions after a TLB insert.

2023-10-30parisc: simplify smp_prepare_boot_cpu()Russell King (Oracle)
smp_prepare_boot_cpu() reads the cpuid of the first CPU, printing a message to state which processor booted, and setting it online and present. This cpuid is retrieved from per_cpu(cpu_data, 0).cpuid, which is initialised in arch/parisc/kernel/processor.c:processor_probe() thusly: p = &per_cpu(cpu_data, cpuid); ... p->cpuid = cpuid; /* save CPU id */ Consequently, the cpuid retrieved seems to be guaranteed to also be zero, meaning that the message printed in this boils down to: pr_info("SMP: bootstrap CPU ID is 0\n"); Moreover, since kernel/cpu.c::boot_cpu_init() already sets CPU 0 to be present and online, there is no need to do this again in smp_prepare_boot_cpu(). Remove this code, and simplify the printk(). Signed-off-by: Russell King (Oracle) <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

2023-10-06arch: Reserve map_shadow_stack() syscall number for all architecturesSohil Mehta
commit c35559f94ebc ("x86/shstk: Introduce map_shadow_stack syscall") recently added support for map_shadow_stack() but it is limited to x86 only for now. There is a possibility that other architectures (namely, arm64 and RISC-V), that are implementing equivalent support for shadow stacks, might need to add support for it. Independent of that, reserving arch-specific syscall numbers in the syscall tables of all architectures is good practice and would help avoid future conflicts. map_shadow_stack() is marked as a conditional syscall in sys_ni.c. Adding it to the syscall tables of other architectures is harmless and would return ENOSYS when exercised. Note, map_shadow_stack() was assigned #453 during the merge process since #452 was taken by fchmodat2(). For Powerpc, map it to sys_ni_syscall() as is the norm for Powerpc syscall tables. For Alpha, map_shadow_stack() takes up #563 as Alpha still diverges from the common syscall numbering system in the other architectures.

2023-09-21futex: Add sys_futex_requeue()peterz@infradead.org
Finish off the 'simple' futex2 syscall group by adding sys_futex_requeue(). Unlike sys_futex_{wait,wake}() its arguments are too numerous to fit into a regular syscall. As such, use struct futex_waitv to pass the 'source' and 'destination' futexes to the syscall. This syscall implements what was previously known as FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE and uses {val, uaddr, flags} for source and {uaddr, flags} for destination. This design explicitly allows requeueing between different types of futex by having a different flags word per uaddr.

Change HUGEPAGE_SIZE to become 4 MB on 32-bit kernels, which leads that kernel code and kernel data will start on 4 MB boundaries. Although a 32-bit kernel does not support huge pages, most machines have support for Block-TLBs (BTLB) which allow to configure the system to use large pages (block TLBs) to minimize the TLB contention. This is done through calls to PDC and the 32-bit kernel can then call BTLB PDC functions to tell the machine to optimize the TLBs. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull fchmodat2 system call from Christian Brauner: "This adds the fchmodat2() system call. It is a revised version of the fchmodat() system call, adding a missing flag argument. Support for both AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW and AT_EMPTY_PATH are included. Adding this system call revision has been a longstanding request but so far has always fallen through the cracks. While the kernel implementation of fchmodat() does not have a flag argument the libc provided POSIX-compliant fchmodat(3) version does. Both glibc and musl have to implement a workaround in order to support AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW (see [1] and [2]). The workaround is brittle because it relies not just on O_PATH and O_NOFOLLOW semantics and procfs magic links but also on our rather inconsistent symlink semantics. This gives userspace a proper fchmodat2() system call that libcs can use to properly implement fchmodat(3) and allows them to get rid of their hacks. In this case it will immediately benefit them as the current workaround is already defunct because of aformentioned inconsistencies. In addition to AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, give userspace the ability to use AT_EMPTY_PATH with fchmodat2(). This is already possible with fchownat() so there's no reason to not also support it for fchmodat2(). The implementation is simple and comes with selftests. Implementation of the system call and wiring up the system call are done as separate patches even though they could arguably be one patch.
