nmi_backtrace: allow excluding an arbitrary CPU
The APIs that allow backtracing across CPUs have always had a way to exclude the current CPU. This convenience means callers didn't need to find a place to allocate a CPU mask just to handle the common case. Let's extend the API to take a CPU ID to exclude instead of just a boolean. This isn't any more complex for the API to handle and allows the hardlockup detector to exclude a different CPU (the one it already did a trace for) without needing to find space for a CPU mask. Arguably, this new API also encourages safer behavior. Specifically if the caller wants to avoid tracing the current CPU (maybe because they already traced the current CPU) this makes it more obvious to the caller that they need to make sure that the current CPU ID can't change. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix trigger_allbutcpu_cpu_backtrace() stub] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230804065935.v4.1.Ia35521b91fc781368945161d7b28538f9996c182@changeid Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Cc: Lecopzer Chen <lecopzer.chen@mediatek.com> Cc: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Cc: Pingfan Liu <kernelfans@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

powerpc/security: Fix Speculation_Store_Bypass reporting on Power10
Nageswara reported that /proc/self/status was showing "vulnerable" for
the Speculation_Store_Bypass feature on Power10, eg:
$ grep Speculation_Store_Bypass: /proc/self/status
Speculation_Store_Bypass: vulnerable
But at the same time the sysfs files, and lscpu, were showing "Not
affected".
This turns out to simply be a bug in the reporting of the
Speculation_Store_Bypass, aka. PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS, case.
When SEC_FTR_STF_BARRIER was added, so that firmware could communicate
the vulnerability was not present, the code in ssb_prctl_get() was not
updated to check the new flag.
So add the check for SEC_FTR_STF_BARRIER being disabled. Rather than
adding the new check to the existing if block and expanding the comment
to cover both cases, rewrite the three cases to be separate so they can
be commented separately for clarity.

workqueue: Ordered workqueue creation cleanups
For historical reasons, unbound workqueues with max concurrency limit of 1 are considered ordered, even though the concurrency limit hasn't been system-wide for a long time. This creates ambiguity around whether ordered execution is actually required for correctness, which was actually confusing for e.g. btrfs (btrfs updates are being routed through the btrfs tree). There aren't that many users in the tree which use the combination and there are pending improvements to unbound workqueue affinity handling which will make inadvertent use of ordered workqueue a bigger loss. This pull request clarifies the situation for most of them by updating the ones which require ordered execution to use alloc_ordered_workqueue(). There are some conversions being routed through subsystem-specific trees and likely a few stragglers. Once they're all converted, workqueue can trigger a warning on unbound + @max_active==1 usages and eventually drop the implicit ordered behavior. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIQEABYIACwWIQTfIjM1kS57o3GsC/uxYfJx3gVYGQUCZJoKnA4cdGpAa2VybmVs Lm9yZwAKCRCxYfJx3gVYGc5SAQDOtjML7Cx9AYzbY5+nYc0wTebRRTXGeOu7A3Xy j50rVgEAjHgvHLIdmeYmVhCeHOSN4q7Wn5AOwaIqZalOhfLyKQk= =hs79 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'wq-for-6.5-cleanup-ordered' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq Pull ordered workqueue creation updates from Tejun Heo: "For historical reasons, unbound workqueues with max concurrency limit of 1 are considered ordered, even though the concurrency limit hasn't been system-wide for a long time.

powerpc: update ppc_save_regs to save current r1 in pt_regs
ppc_save_regs() skips one stack frame while saving the CPU register states.
Instead of saving current R1, it pulls the previous stack frame pointer.
When vmcores caused by direct panic call (such as `echo c >
/proc/sysrq-trigger`), are debugged with gdb, gdb fails to show the
backtrace correctly. On further analysis, it was found that it was because
of mismatch between r1 and NIP.
GDB uses NIP to get current function symbol and uses corresponding debug
info of that function to unwind previous frames, but due to the
mismatching r1 and NIP, the unwinding does not work, and it fails to
unwind to the 2nd frame and hence does not show the backtrace.
GDB backtrace with vmcore of kernel without this patch:
---------
(gdb) bt
#0 0xc0000000002a53e8 in crash_setup_regs (oldregs=<optimized out>,
newregs=0xc000000004f8f8d8) at ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/kexec.h:69

#2 0x0000000000000063 in ?? ()
#3 0xc000000003579320 in ?? ()
---------
Further analysis revealed that the mismatch occurred because
"ppc_save_regs" was saving the previous stack's SP instead of the current
r1. This patch fixes this by storing current r1 in the saved pt_regs.

Nick adds:
So this now saves regs as though it was an interrupt taken in the
caller, at the instruction after the call to ppc_save_regs, whereas
previously the NIP was there, but R1 came from the caller's caller and
that mismatch is what causes gdb's dwarf unwinder to go haywire.

powerpc/ptrace: Expose HASHKEYR register to ptrace
The HASHKEYR register contains a secret per-process key to enable unique hashes per process. In general it should not be exposed to userspace at all and a regular process has no need to know its key. However, checkpoint restore in userspace (CRIU) functionality requires that a process be able to set the HASHKEYR of another process, otherwise existing hashes on the stack would be invalidated by a new random key. Exposing HASHKEYR in this way also makes it appear in core dumps, which is a security concern. Multiple threads may share a key, for example just after a fork() call, where the kernel cannot know if the child is going to return back along the parent's stack. If such a thread is coerced into making a core dump, then the HASHKEYR value will be readable and able to be used against all other threads sharing that key, effectively undoing any protection offered by hashst/hashchk. Therefore we expose HASHKEYR to ptrace when CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is enabled, providing a choice of increased security or migratable ROP protected processes. This is similar to how ARM exposes its PAC keys.

powerpc/ptrace: Expose DEXCR and HDEXCR registers to ptrace
The DEXCR register is of interest when ptracing processes. Currently it is static, but eventually will be dynamically controllable by a process. If a process can control its own, then it is useful for it to be ptrace-able to (e.g., for checkpoint-restore functionality). It is also relevant to core dumps (the NPHIE aspect in particular), which use the ptrace mechanism (or is it the other way around?) to decide what to dump. The HDEXCR is useful here too, as the NPHIE aspect may be set in the HDEXCR without being set in the DEXCR. Although the HDEXCR is per-cpu and we don't track it in the task struct (it's useless in normal operation), it would be difficult to imagine why a hypervisor would set it to different values within a guest. A hypervisor cannot safely set NPHIE differently at least, as that would break programs. Expose a read-only view of the userspace DEXCR and HDEXCR to ptrace. The HDEXCR is always readonly, and is useful for diagnosing the core dumps (as the HDEXCR may set NPHIE without the DEXCR setting it).

powerpc/dexcr: Support userspace ROP protection
The ISA 3.1B hashst and hashchk instructions use a per-cpu SPR HASHKEYR to hold a key used in the hash calculation. This key should be different for each process to make it harder for a malicious process to recreate valid hash values for a victim process. Add support for storing a per-thread hash key, and setting/clearing HASHKEYR appropriately.

powerpc/dexcr: Handle hashchk exception
Recognise and pass the appropriate signal to the user program when a hashchk instruction triggers. This is independent of allowing configuration of DEXCR[NPHIE], as a hypervisor can enforce this aspect regardless of the kernel. The signal mirrors how ARM reports their similar check failure. For example, their FPAC handler in arch/arm64/kernel/traps.c do_el0_fpac() does this. When we fail to read the instruction that caused the fault we send a segfault, similar to how emulate_math() does it.

powerpc/dexcr: Add initial Dynamic Execution Control Register (DEXCR) support
ISA 3.1B introduces the Dynamic Execution Control Register (DEXCR). It is a per-cpu register that allows control over various CPU behaviours including branch hint usage, indirect branch speculation, and hashst/hashchk support. Add some definitions and basic support for the DEXCR in the kernel. Right now it just * Initialises the DEXCR and HASHKEYR to a fixed value when a CPU onlines. * Clears them in reset_sprs(). * Detects when the NPHIE aspect is supported (the others don't get looked at in this series, so there's no need to waste a CPU_FTR on them). We initialise the HASHKEYR to ensure that all cores have the same key, so an HV enforced NPHIE + swapping cores doesn't randomly crash a process using hash instructions. The stores to HASHKEYR are unconditional because the ISA makes no mention of the SPR being missing if support for doing the hashes isn't present. So all that would happen is the HASHKEYR value gets ignored. This helps slightly if NPHIE detection fails; e.g., we currently only detect it on pseries.

powerpc/signal32: Force inlining of __unsafe_save_user_regs() and save_tm_user_regs_unsafe()
Looking at generated code for handle_signal32() shows calls to a
function called __unsafe_save_user_regs.constprop.0 while user access
is open.
And that __unsafe_save_user_regs.constprop.0 function has two nops at
the begining, allowing it to be traced, which is unexpected during
user access open window.
The solution could be to mark __unsafe_save_user_regs() no trace, but
to be on the safe side the most efficient is to flag it __always_inline
as already done for function __unsafe_restore_general_regs(). The
function is relatively small and only called twice, so the size
increase will remain in the noise.
Do the same with save_tm_user_regs_unsafe() as it may suffer the
same issue.

When fully serialized execution - one by one in the queueing order - is needed, an ordered workqueue should be used which can be created with alloc_ordered_workqueue(). However, alloc_ordered_workqueue() was a later addition. Before it, an ordered workqueue could be obtained by creating an UNBOUND workqueue with @max_active==1.

modules-6.4-rc1
The summary of the changes for this pull requests is: * Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement * Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules * My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace. Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help* reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup. Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details on this pull request. The functional change change in this pull request is the very first patch from Song Liu which replaces the struct module_layout with a new struct module memory. The old data structure tried to put together all types of supported module memory types in one data structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way. If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as quite a bit of fixes have been found for it. Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module specific dynamic debug information. Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request so to: a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit. Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching, kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area is active with no clear solution in sight. b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit |
