This erratum essentially causes the CPU to forget which privilege level it is operating on (kernel vs. user) for the purposes of MPX. This erratum can only be triggered when a system is not using Supervisor Mode Execution Prevention (SMEP). Our workaround for the erratum is to ensure that MPX can only be used in cases where SMEP is present in the processor and is enabled. This erratum only affects Core processors. Atom is unaffected. But, there is no architectural way to determine Atom vs. Core. So, we just apply this workaround to all processors. It's possible that it will mistakenly disable MPX on some Atom processsors or future unaffected Core processors. There are currently no processors that have MPX and not SMEP. It would take something akin to a hypervisor masking SMEP out on an Atom processor for this to present itself on current hardware. More details can be found at: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/desktop-6th-gen-core-family-spec-update.pdf " SKD046 Branch Instructions May Initialize MPX Bound Registers Incorrectly Problem: Depending on the current Intel MPX (Memory Protection Extensions) configuration, execution of certain branch instructions (near CALL, near RET, near JMP, and Jcc instructions) without a BND prefix (F2H) initialize the MPX bound registers. Due to this erratum, such a branch instruction that is executed both with CPL = 3 and with CPL < 3 may not use the correct MPX configuration register (BNDCFGU or BNDCFGS, respectively) for determining whether to initialize the bound registers; it may thus initialize the bound registers when it should not, or fail to initialize them when it should. Implication: A branch instruction that has executed both in user mode and in supervisor mode (from the same linear address) may cause a #BR (bound range fault) when it should not have or may not cause a #BR when it should have. Workaround An operating system can avoid this erratum by setting CR4.SMEP[bit 20] to enable supervisor-mode execution prevention (SMEP). When SMEP is enabled, no code can be executed both with CPL = 3 and with CPL < 3.

Josh Poimboeuf authored
With CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER enabled, a thunk can pass a bad return address value to the called function. '9*8(%rsp)' actually gets the frame pointer, not the return address. The only users of the 'put_ret_addr_in_rdi' option are two functions which trace the enabling and disabling of interrupts, so this bug can result in bad debug or tracing information with CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER or CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING. Fix this by implementing the suggestion of Linus: explicitly push the frame pointer all the time and constify the stack offsets that way. This is both correct and easier to read.

Linus Torvalds authored
Alex Thorlton reported that the SGI/UV code crashes in the efi_call() code when invoked with 7 parameters, due to: mov (%rsp), %rax mov 8(%rax), %rax ... mov %rax, 40(%rsp) Offset 8 is only true if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS is disabled, with frame pointers enabled it should be 16. Furthermore, the SAVE_XMM code saves the old stack pointer, but that's just crazy. It saves the stack pointer *AFTER* we've done the: FRAME_BEGIN ... which will have *changed* the stack pointer, depending on whether stack frames are enabled or not. So when the code then does: mov (%rsp), %rax ... we now move that old stack pointer into %rax, but the offset off that stack pointer will depend on whether that FRAME_BEGIN saved off %rbp or not. So that whole 8-vs-16 offset confusion depends on the frame pointer! If frame pointers were enabled, it will be 16. If they weren't, it will be 8. The right fix is to just get rid of that silly conditional frame pointer thing, and always use frame pointers in this stub function. And then we don't need that (odd) load to get the old stack pointer into %rax - we can just use the frame pointer.

When I added support for the Memory Protection Keys processor feature, I had to reindent the REQUIRED/DISABLED_MASK macros, and also consult the later cpufeature words. I'm not quite sure how I bungled it, but I consulted the wrong word at the end. This only affected required or disabled cpu features in cpufeature words 14, 15 and 16. So, only Protection Keys itself was screwed over here. The result was that if you disabled pkeys in your .config, you might still see some code show up that should have been compiled out. There should be no functional problems, though. In verifying this patch I also realized that the DISABLE_PKU/OSPKE macros were defined backwards and that the cpu_has() check in setup_pku() was not doing the compile-time disabled checks. So also fix the macro for DISABLE_PKU/OSPKE and add a compile-time check for pkeys being enabled in setup_pku().

The new signal_pending exit path in __rwsem_down_write_failed_common() was fingered as breaking his kernel by Tetsuo Handa. Upon inspection it was found that there are two things wrong with it; - it forgets to remove WAITING_BIAS if it leaves the list empty, or - it forgets to wake further waiters that were blocked on the now removed waiter. Especially the first issue causes new lock attempts to block and stall indefinitely, as the code assumes that pending waiters mean there is an owner that will wake when it releases the lock.

Original implementation commit e54bcde3 ("arm64: eBPF JIT compiler") had the relevant code paths, but due to an oversight always fail jiting. As a result, we had been falling back to BPF interpreter whenever a BPF program has JMP_JSET_{X,K} instructions. With this fix, we confirm that the corresponding tests in lib/test_bpf continue to pass, and also jited. ...

Currently, when creating or updating a route, no check is performed in both ipv4 and ipv6 code to the hoplimit value. The caller can i.e. set hoplimit to 256, and when such route will be used, packets will be sent with hoplimit/ttl equal to 0. This commit adds checks for the RTAX_HOPLIMIT value, in both ipv4 ipv6 route code, substituting any value greater than 255 with 255. This is consistent with what is currently done for ADVMSS and MTU in the ipv4 code. Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The slab name ends up being visible in the directory structure under /sys, and even if you don't have access rights to the file you can see the filenames. Just use a 64-bit counter instead of the pointer to the 'net' structure to generate a unique name. This code will go away in 4.7 when the conntrack code moves to a single kmemcache, but this is the backportable simple solution to avoiding leaking kernel pointers to user space.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "During v4.6-rc1 cgroup namespace support was merged. There is an issue where it's impossible to tell whether a given cgroup mount point is bind mounted or namespaced. Serge has been working on the issue but it took longer than expected to resolve, so the late pull request. Given that it's a completely new feature and the patches don't touch anything else, the risk seems acceptable. However, if this is too late, an alternative is plugging new cgroup ns creation for v4.6 and retrying for v4.7" * 'for-4.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: fix compile warning kernfs: kernfs_sop_show_path: don't return 0 after seq_dentry call cgroup, kernfs: make mountinfo show properly scoped path for cgroup namespaces kernfs_path_from_node_locked: don't overwrite nlen
