      x86/mm/pti: Disable global pages if PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=y · acfee9b8
      Dave Hansen authored 
      commit c313ec66 upstream.

Global pages stay in the TLB across context switches.  Since all contexts
share the same kernel mapping, these mappings are marked as global pages
so kernel entries in the TLB are not flushed out on a context switch.

But, even having these entries in the TLB opens up something that an
attacker can use, such as the double-page-fault attack:

   http://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SP2013/papers/4977a191.pdf

That means that even when PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION switches page tables
on return to user space the global pages would stay in the TLB cache.

Disable global pages so that kernel TLB entries can be flushed before
returning to user space. This way, all accesses to kernel addresses from
userspace result in a TLB miss independent of the existence of a kernel
mapping.

Suppress global pages via the __supported_pte_mask. The user space
mappings set PAGE_GLOBAL for the minimal kernel mappings which are
required for entry/exit. These mappings are set up manually so the
filtering does not take place.

[ The __supported_pte_mask simplification was written by Thomas Gleixner. ]

      x86/cpufeatures: Add X86_BUG_CPU_INSECURE · 72a2bedd
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      commit a89f040f upstream.

Many x86 CPUs leak information to user space due to missing isolation of
user space and kernel space page tables. There are many well documented
ways to exploit that.

The upcoming software migitation of isolating the user and kernel space
page tables needs a misfeature flag so code can be made runtime
conditional.

Add the BUG bits which indicates that the CPU is affected and add a feature
bit which indicates that the software migitation is enabled.

Assume for now that _ALL_ x86 CPUs are affected by this. Exceptions can be
made later.

      tracing: Fix crash when it fails to alloc ring buffer · 98669825
      Jing Xia authored 
      commit 24f2aaf9 upstream.

Double free of the ring buffer happens when it fails to alloc new
ring buffer instance for max_buffer if TRACER_MAX_TRACE is configured.
The root cause is that the pointer is not set to NULL after the buffer
is freed in allocate_trace_buffers(), and the freeing of the ring
buffer is invoked again later if the pointer is not equal to Null,
as:

instance_mkdir()
    |-allocate_trace_buffers()
        |-allocate_trace_buffer(tr, &tr->trace_buffer...)
	|-allocate_trace_buffer(tr, &tr->max_buffer...)

          // allocate fail(-ENOMEM),first free
          // and the buffer pointer is not set to null
        |-ring_buffer_free(tr->trace_buffer.buffer)

       // out_free_tr
    |-free_trace_buffers()
        |-free_trace_buffer(&tr->trace_buffer);

	      //if trace_buffer is not null, free again
	    |-ring_buffer_free(buf->buffer)
                |-rb_free_cpu_buffer(buffer->buffers[cpu])
                    // ring_buffer_per_cpu is null, and
                    // crash in ring_buffer_per_cpu->pages

      tracing: Fix possible double free on failure of allocating trace buffer · 21a9c734
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored 
      commit 4397f045 upstream.

Jing Xia and Chunyan Zhang reported that on failing to allocate part of the
tracing buffer, memory is freed, but the pointers that point to them are not
initialized back to NULL, and later paths may try to free the freed memory
again. Jing and Chunyan fixed one of the locations that does this, but
missed a spot.

      tracing: Remove extra zeroing out of the ring buffer page · 234bc126
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored 
      commit 6b7e633f upstream.

The ring_buffer_read_page() takes care of zeroing out any extra data in the
page that it returns. There's no need to zero it out again from the
consumer. It was removed from one consumer of this function, but
read_buffers_splice_read() did not remove it, and worse, it contained a
nasty bug because of it.
