Commit cae2a173fe94 ("x86: clean up/fix 'copy_in_user()' tail zeroing")
fixed the failure case tail zeroing of one special case of the x86-64
generic user-copy routine, namely when used for the user-to-user case
("copy_in_user()").
But in the process it broke an even more unusual case: using the user
copy routine for kernel-to-kernel copying.
Now, normally kernel-kernel copies are obviously done using memcpy(),
but we have a couple of special cases when we use the user-copy
functions. One is when we pass a kernel buffer to a regular user-buffer
routine, using set_fs(KERNEL_DS). That's a "normal" case, and continued
to work fine, because it never takes any faults (with the possible
exception of a silent and successful vmalloc fault).
But Jan Beulich pointed out another, very unusual, special case: when we
use the user-copy routines not because it's a path that expects a user
pointer, but for a couple of ftrace/kgdb cases that want to do a kernel
copy, but do so using "unsafe" buffers, and use the user-copy routine to
gracefully handle faults. IOW, for probe_kernel_write().
And that broke for the case of a faulting kernel destination, because we
saw the kernel destination and wanted to try to clear the tail of the
buffer. Which doesn't work, since that's what faults.
This only triggers for things like kgdb and ftrace users (eg trying
setting a breakpoint on read-only memory), but it's definitely a bug.
The fix is to not compare against the kernel address start (TASK_SIZE),
but instead use the same limits "access_ok()" uses.

Pull x86 asm changes from Ingo Molnar:
"There were lots of changes in this development cycle:
- over 100 separate cleanups, restructuring changes, speedups and
fixes in the x86 system call, irq, trap and other entry code, part
of a heroic effort to deobfuscate a decade old spaghetti asm code
and its C code dependencies (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski)
- alternatives code fixes and enhancements (Borislav Petkov)
- simplifications and cleanups to the compat code (Brian Gerst)
- signal handling fixes and new x86 testcases (Andy Lutomirski)
- various other fixes and cleanups
By their nature many of these changes are risky - we tried to test
them well on many different x86 systems (there are no known
regressions), and they are split up finely to help bisection - but
there's still a fair bit of residual risk left so caveat emptor"

The rule for 'copy_from_user()' is that it zeroes the remaining kernel
buffer even when the copy fails halfway, just to make sure that we don't
leave uninitialized kernel memory around. Because even if we check for
errors, some kernel buffers stay around after thge copy (think page
cache).
However, the x86-64 logic for user copies uses a copy_user_generic()
function for all the cases, that set the "zerorest" flag for any fault
on the source buffer. Which meant that it didn't just try to clear the
kernel buffer after a failure in copy_from_user(), it also tried to
clear the destination user buffer for the "copy_in_user()" case.
Not only is that pointless, it also means that the clearing code has to
worry about the tail clearing taking page faults for the user buffer
case. Which is just stupid, since that case shouldn't happen in the
first place.
Get rid of the whole "zerorest" thing entirely, and instead just check
if the destination is in kernel space or not. And then just use
memset() to clear the tail of the kernel buffer if necessary.

By the nature of the TEST operation, it is often possible to test
a narrower part of the operand:
"testl $3, mem" -> "testb $3, mem",
"testq $3, %rcx" -> "testb $3, %cl"
This results in shorter instructions, because the TEST instruction
has no sign-entending byte-immediate forms unlike other ALU ops.
Note that this change does not create any LCP (Length-Changing Prefix)
stalls, which happen when adding a 0x66 prefix, which happens when
16-bit immediates are used, which changes such TEST instructions:
[test_opcode] [modrm] [imm32]
to:
[0x66] [test_opcode] [modrm] [imm16]
where [imm16] has a *different length* now: 2 bytes instead of 4.
This confuses the decoder and slows down execution.
REX prefixes were carefully designed to almost never hit this case:
adding REX prefix does not change instruction length except MOVABS
and MOV [addr],RAX instruction.
This patch does not add instructions which would use a 0x66 prefix,
code changes in assembly are:
-48 f7 07 01 00 00 00 testq $0x1,(%rdi)
+f6 07 01 testb $0x1,(%rdi)
-48 f7 c1 01 00 00 00 test $0x1,%rcx
+f6 c1 01 test $0x1,%cl
-48 f7 c1 02 00 00 00 test $0x2,%rcx
+f6 c1 02 test $0x2,%cl
-41 f7 c2 01 00 00 00 test $0x1,%r10d
+41 f6 c2 01 test $0x1,%r10b
-48 f7 c1 04 00 00 00 test $0x4,%rcx
+f6 c1 04 test $0x4,%cl
-48 f7 c1 08 00 00 00 test $0x8,%rcx
+f6 c1 08 test $0x8,%cl
Linus further notes:
"There are no stalls from using 8-bit instruction forms.
Now, changing from 64-bit or 32-bit 'test' instructions to 8-bit ones
*could* cause problems if it ends up having forwarding issues, so that
instead of just forwarding the result, you end up having to wait for
it to be stable in the L1 cache (or possibly the register file). The
forwarding from the store buffer is simplest and most reliable if the
read is done at the exact same address and the exact same size as the
write that gets forwarded.
But that's true only if:
(a) the write was very recent and is still in the write queue. I'm
not sure that's the case here anyway.
(b) on at least most Intel microarchitectures, you have to test a
different byte than the lowest one (so forwarding a 64-bit write
to a 8-bit read ends up working fine, as long as the 8-bit read
is of the low 8 bits of the written data).
A very similar issue *might* show up for registers too, not just
memory writes, if you use 'testb' with a high-byte register (where
instead of forwarding the value from the original producer it needs to
go through the register file and then shifted). But it's mainly a
problem for store buffers.
But afaik, the way Denys changed the test instructions, neither of the
above issues should be true.
The real problem for store buffer forwarding tends to be "write 8
bits, read 32 bits". That can be really surprisingly expensive,
because the read ends up having to wait until the write has hit the
cacheline, and we might talk tens of cycles of latency here. But
"write 32 bits, read the low 8 bits" *should* be fast on pretty much
all x86 chips, afaik."

This is a preparatory patch for change in "struct pt_regs"
handling in entry_64.S.
trace_hardirqs*() thunks were (ab)using a part of the
'pt_regs' handling code, namely the SAVE_ARGS/RESTORE_ARGS
macros, to save/restore registers across C function calls.
Since SAVE_ARGS is going to be changed, open-code
register saving/restoring here.
Incidentally, this removes a bit of dead code:
one SAVE_ARGS was used just to emit a CFI annotation,
but it also generated unreachable assembly instructions.
Take a page from thunk_32.S and use push/pop instructions
instead of movq, they are far shorter:
1 or 2 bytes versus 5, and no need for instructions to adjust %rsp:
text data bss dec hex filename
333 40 0 373 175 thunk_64_movq.o
104 40 0 144 90 thunk_64_push_pop.o
[ This is ugly as sin, but we'll fix up the ugliness in the next
patch. I see no point in reordering patches just to avoid an
ugly intermediate state. --Andy ]

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bp/bp into x86/asm
Pull alternative instructions framework improvements from Borislav Petkov:
"A more involved rework of the alternatives framework to be able to
pad instructions and thus make using the alternatives macros more
straightforward and without having to figure out old and new instruction
sizes but have the toolchain figure that out for us.
Furthermore, it optimizes JMPs used so that fetch and decode can be
relieved with smaller versions of the JMPs, where possible.
Some stats:
x86_64 defconfig:
Alternatives sites total: 2478
Total padding added (in Bytes): 6051
The padding is currently done for:
X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS
X86_FEATURE_ERMS
X86_FEATURE_LFENCE_RDTSC
X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC
X86_FEATURE_SMAP
This is with the latest version of the patchset. Of course, on each
machine the alternatives sites actually being patched are a proper
subset of the total number."

Move clear_page() up so that we can get 2-byte forward JMPs when
patching:
apply_alternatives: feat: 3*32+16, old: (ffffffff8130adb0, len: 5), repl: (ffffffff81d0b859, len: 5)
ffffffff8130adb0: alt_insn: 90 90 90 90 90
recompute_jump: new_displ: 0x0000003e
ffffffff81d0b859: rpl_insn: eb 3e 66 66 90
even though the compiler generated 5-byte JMPs which we padded with 5
NOPs.
Also, make the REP_GOOD version be the default as the majority of
machines set REP_GOOD. This way we get to save ourselves the JMP:
old insn VA: 0xffffffff813038b0, CPU feat: X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD, size: 5, padlen: 0

... instead of the semi-version with the spelled out sections.
What is more, make the REP_GOOD version be the default copy_page()
version as the majority of the relevant x86 CPUs do set
X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD. Thus, copy_page gets compiled to:
ffffffff8130af80 <copy_page>:
ffffffff8130af80: e9 0b 00 00 00 jmpq ffffffff8130af90 <copy_page_regs>
ffffffff8130af85: b9 00 02 00 00 mov $0x200,%ecx
ffffffff8130af8a: f3 48 a5 rep movsq %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi)
ffffffff8130af8d: c3 retq
ffffffff8130af8e: 66 90 xchg %ax,%ax
ffffffff8130af90 <copy_page_regs>:
...
and after the alternatives have run, the JMP to the old, unrolled
version gets NOPed out:
ffffffff8130af80 <copy_page>:
ffffffff8130af80: 66 66 90 xchg %ax,%ax
ffffffff8130af83: 66 90 xchg %ax,%ax
ffffffff8130af85: b9 00 02 00 00 mov $0x200,%ecx
ffffffff8130af8a: f3 48 a5 rep movsq %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi)
ffffffff8130af8d: c3 retq
On modern uarches, those NOPs are cheaper than the unconditional JMP
previously.

Up until now we had to pay attention to relative JMPs in alternatives
about how their relative offset gets computed so that the jump target
is still correct. Or, as it is the case for near CALLs (opcode e8), we
still have to go and readjust the offset at patching time.
What is more, the static_cpu_has_safe() facility had to forcefully
generate 5-byte JMPs since we couldn't rely on the compiler to generate
properly sized ones so we had to force the longest ones. Worse than
that, sometimes it would generate a replacement JMP which is longer than
the original one, thus overwriting the beginning of the next instruction
at patching time.
So, in order to alleviate all that and make using JMPs more
straight-forward we go and pad the original instruction in an
alternative block with NOPs at build time, should the replacement(s) be
longer. This way, alternatives users shouldn't pay special attention
so that original and replacement instruction sizes are fine but the
assembler would simply add padding where needed and not do anything
otherwise.
As a second aspect, we go and recompute JMPs at patching time so that we
can try to make 5-byte JMPs into two-byte ones if possible. If not, we
still have to recompute the offsets as the replacement JMP gets put far
away in the .altinstr_replacement section leading to a wrong offset if
copied verbatim.
For example, on a locally generated kernel image
old insn VA: 0xffffffff810014bd, CPU feat: X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS, size: 2
__switch_to:
ffffffff810014bd: eb 21 jmp ffffffff810014e0
repl insn: size: 5
ffffffff81d0b23c: e9 b1 62 2f ff jmpq ffffffff810014f2
gets corrected to a 2-byte JMP:
apply_alternatives: feat: 3*32+21, old: (ffffffff810014bd, len: 2), repl: (ffffffff81d0b23c, len: 5)
alt_insn: e9 b1 62 2f ff
recompute_jumps: next_rip: ffffffff81d0b241, tgt_rip: ffffffff810014f2, new_displ: 0x00000033, ret len: 2
converted to: eb 33 90 90 90
and a 5-byte JMP:
old insn VA: 0xffffffff81001516, CPU feat: X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS, size: 2
__switch_to:
ffffffff81001516: eb 30 jmp ffffffff81001548
repl insn: size: 5
ffffffff81d0b241: e9 10 63 2f ff jmpq ffffffff81001556
gets shortened into a two-byte one:
apply_alternatives: feat: 3*32+21, old: (ffffffff81001516, len: 2), repl: (ffffffff81d0b241, len: 5)
alt_insn: e9 10 63 2f ff
recompute_jumps: next_rip: ffffffff81d0b246, tgt_rip: ffffffff81001556, new_displ: 0x0000003e, ret len: 2
converted to: eb 3e 90 90 90
... and so on.
This leads to a net win of around
40ish replacements * 3 bytes savings =~ 120 bytes of I$
on an AMD guest which means some savings of precious instruction cache
bandwidth. The padding to the shorter 2-byte JMPs are single-byte NOPs
which on smart microarchitectures means discarding NOPs at decode time
and thus freeing up execution bandwidth.

Up until now we have always paid attention to make sure the length of
the new instruction replacing the old one is at least less or equal to
the length of the old instruction. If the new instruction is longer, at
the time it replaces the old instruction it will overwrite the beginning
of the next instruction in the kernel image and cause your pants to
catch fire.
So instead of having to pay attention, teach the alternatives framework
to pad shorter old instructions with NOPs at buildtime - but only in the
case when
len(old instruction(s)) < len(new instruction(s))
and add nothing in the >= case. (In that case we do add_nops() when
patching).
This way the alternatives user shouldn't have to care about instruction
sizes and simply use the macros.
Add asm ALTERNATIVE* flavor macros too, while at it.
Also, we need to save the pad length in a separate struct alt_instr
member for NOP optimization and the way to do that reliably is to carry
the pad length instead of trying to detect whether we're looking at
single-byte NOPs or at pathological instruction offsets like e9 90 90 90
90, for example, which is a valid instruction.

x86 instructions cannot exceed 15 bytes, and the instruction
decoder should enforce that. Prior to 6ba48ff46f76, the
instruction length limit was implicitly set to 16, which was an
approximation of 15, but there is currently no limit at all.
Fix MAX_INSN_SIZE (it should be 15, not 16), and fix the decoder
to reject instructions that exceed MAX_INSN_SIZE.
Other than potentially confusing some of the decoder sanity
checks, I'm not aware of any actual problems that omitting this
check would cause, nor am I aware of any practical problems
caused by the MAX_INSN_SIZE error.

Recently instrumentation of builtin functions calls was removed from GCC
5.0. To check the memory accessed by such functions, userspace asan
always uses interceptors for them.
So now we should do this as well. This patch declares
memset/memmove/memcpy as weak symbols. In mm/kasan/kasan.c we have our
own implementation of those functions which checks memory before accessing
it.
Default memset/memmove/memcpy now now always have aliases with '__'
prefix. For files that built without kasan instrumentation (e.g.
mm/slub.c) original mem* replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants,
cause we don't want to check memory accesses there.

not being able to decode the last instruction and always bail.

The current x86 instruction decoder steps along through the
instruction stream but always ensures that it never steps farther
than the largest possible instruction size (MAX_INSN_SIZE).
The MPX code is now going to be doing some decoding of userspace
instructions. We copy those from userspace in to the kernel and
they're obviously completely untrusted coming from userspace. In
addition to the constraint that instructions can only be so long,
we also have to be aware of how long the buffer is that came in
from userspace. This _looks_ to be similar to what the perf and
kprobes is doing, but it's unclear to me whether they are
affected.
The whole reason we need this is that it is perfectly valid to be
executing an instruction within MAX_INSN_SIZE bytes of an
unreadable page. We should be able to gracefully handle short
reads in those cases.
This adds support to the decoder to record how long the buffer
being decoded is and to refuse to "validate" the instruction if
we would have gone over the end of the buffer to decode it.
The kprobes code probably needs to be looked at here a bit more
carefully. This patch still respects the MAX_INSN_SIZE limit
there but the kprobes code does look like it might be able to
be a bit more strict than it currently is.

Al Viro pointed out that the x86-64 csum_partial_copy_from_user() is
somewhat confused about what it should do on errors, notably it mostly
clears the uncopied end result buffer, but misses that for the initial
alignment case.
All users should check for errors, so it's dubious whether the clearing
is even necessary, and Al also points out that we should probably clean
up the calling conventions, but regardless of any future changes to this
function, the fact that it is inconsistent is just annoying.
So make the __get_user() failure path use the same error exit as all the
other errors do.

Pull x86 cpufeature and mpx updates from Peter Anvin:
"This includes the basic infrastructure for MPX (Memory Protection
Extensions) support, but does not include MPX support itself. It is,
however, a prerequisite for KVM support for MPX, which I believe will
be pushed later this merge window by the KVM team.
This includes moving the functionality in
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() into a new function in uaccess.h so it
can be reused - this will be used by the final MPX patches.
The actual MPX functionality (map management and so on) will be pushed
in a future merge window, when ready"

This patch adds all the MPX instructions to x86 opcode map, so the x86
instruction decoder can decode MPX instructions.
