"Futex updates:
- Optimize futex hash bucket access patterns (Peter Zijlstra)
- Large series to address the robust futex unlock race for real, by
Thomas Gleixner:
"The robust futex unlock mechanism is racy in respect to the
clearing of the robust_list_head::list_op_pending pointer because
unlock and clearing the pointer are not atomic.
The race window is between the unlock and clearing the pending op
pointer. If the task is forced to exit in this window, exit will
access a potentially invalid pending op pointer when cleaning up
the robust list.
That happens if another task manages to unmap the object
containing the lock before the cleanup, which results in an UAF.
In the worst case this UAF can lead to memory corruption when
unrelated content has been mapped to the same address by the time
the access happens.
User space can't solve this problem without help from the kernel.
This series provides the kernel side infrastructure to help it
along:
1) Combined unlock, pointer clearing, wake-up for the
contended case
2) VDSO based unlock and pointer clearing helpers with a
fix-up function in the kernel when user space was interrupted

The upcoming support for unlocking robust futexes in the kernel requires
store release semantics. Syscalls do not imply memory ordering on all
architectures so the unlock operation requires a barrier.
This barrier can be avoided when stores imply release like on x86.
Provide a generic version with a smp_mb() before the unsafe_put_user(),
which can be overridden by architectures.
Provide also a ARCH_MEMORY_ORDER_TSO Kconfig option, which can be selected
by architectures with Total Store Order (TSO), where store implies release,
so that the smp_mb() in the generic implementation can be avoided.
If that is set a barrier() is used instead of smp_mb(), which is not
required for the use case at hand, but makes it future proof for other
usage to prevent the compiler from reordering.

This series cleans up some of the special user copy functions naming and
semantics. In particular, get rid of the (very traditional) double
underscore names and behavior: the whole "optimize away the range check"
model has been largely excised from the other user accessors because
it's so subtle and can be unsafe, but also because it's just not a
relevant optimization any more.
To do that, a couple of drivers that misused the "user" copies as kernel
copies in order to get non-temporal stores had to be fixed up, but that
kind of code should never have been allowed anyway.
The x86-only "nocache" version was also renamed to more accurately
reflect what it actually does.
This was all done because I looked at this code due to a report by Jann
Horn, and I just couldn't stand the inconsistent naming, the horrible
semantics, and the random misuse of these functions. This code should
probably be cleaned up further, but it's at least slightly closer to
normal semantics.
I had a more intrusive series that went even further in trying to
normalize the semantics, but that ended up hitting so many other
inconsistencies between different architectures in this area (eg
'size_t' vs 'unsigned long' vs 'int' as size arguments, and various
iovec check differences that Vasily Gorbik pointed out) that I ended up
with this more limited version that fixed the worst of the issues.

x86: rename and clean up __copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache()
x86-64: rename misleadingly named '__copy_user_nocache()' function
Similarly to the previous commit, this renames the somewhat confusingly
named function. But in this case, it was at least less confusing: the
__copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache is indeed copying from user memory,
and it is indeed ok to be used in an atomic context, so it will not warn
about it.
But the previous commit also removed the NTB mis-use of the
__copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache() function, and as a result every
call-site is now _actually_ doing a real user copy. That means that we
can now do the proper user pointer verification too.
End result: add proper address checking, remove the double underscores,
and change the "nocache" to "nontemporal" to more accurately describe
what this x86-only function actually does. It might be worth noting
that only the target is non-temporal: the actual user accesses are
normal memory accesses.
Also worth noting is that non-x86 targets (and on older 32-bit x86 CPU's
before XMM2 in the Pentium III) we end up just falling back on a regular
user copy, so nothing can actually depend on the non-temporal semantics,
but that has always been true.

environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in

User space access regions are tedious and require similar code patterns all
over the place:
if (!user_read_access_begin(from, sizeof(*from)))
return -EFAULT;
unsafe_get_user(val, from, Efault);
user_read_access_end();
return 0;
Efault:
user_read_access_end();
return -EFAULT;
This got worse with the recent addition of masked user access, which
optimizes the speculation prevention:
if (can_do_masked_user_access())
from = masked_user_read_access_begin((from));
else if (!user_read_access_begin(from, sizeof(*from)))
return -EFAULT;
unsafe_get_user(val, from, Efault);
user_read_access_end();
return 0;
Efault:
user_read_access_end();
return -EFAULT;
There have been issues with using the wrong user_*_access_end() variant in
the error path and other typical Copy&Pasta problems, e.g. using the wrong
fault label in the user accessor which ends up using the wrong accesss end
variant.
These patterns beg for scopes with automatic cleanup. The resulting outcome
is:
scoped_user_read_access(from, Efault)
unsafe_get_user(val, from, Efault);
return 0;
Efault:
return -EFAULT;
The scope guarantees the proper cleanup for the access mode is invoked both
in the success and the failure (fault) path.
The scoped_user_$MODE_access() macros are implemented as self terminating
nested for() loops. Thanks to Andrew Cooper for pointing me at them. The
scope can therefore be left with 'break', 'goto' and 'return'. Even
'continue' "works" due to the self termination mechanism. Both GCC and
clang optimize all the convoluted macro maze out and the above results with
clang in:
b80: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64
b84: 48 b8 ef cd ab 89 67 45 23 01 movabs $0x123456789abcdef,%rax

ba0: 0f 94 c0 sete %al
ba3: 90 nop
ba4: 90 nop
ba5: 90 nop
ba6: c3 ret
Which looks as compact as it gets. The NOPs are placeholder for STAC/CLAC.
GCC emits the fault path seperately:
bf0: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64
bf4: 48 b8 ef cd ab 89 67 45 23 01 movabs $0x123456789abcdef,%rax

c1a: c3 ret
c1b: 90 nop
c1c: 90 nop
c1d: 90 nop
c1e: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
c20: c3 ret
The fault labels for the scoped*() macros and the fault labels for the
actual user space accessors can be shared and must be placed outside of the
scope.
If masked user access is enabled on an architecture, then the pointer
handed in to scoped_user_$MODE_access() can be modified to point to a
guaranteed faulting user address. This modification is only scope local as
the pointer is aliased inside the scope. When the scope is left the alias
is not longer in effect. IOW the original pointer value is preserved so it
can be used e.g. for fixup or diagnostic purposes in the fault path.

Pull copy_struct_to_user helper from Christian Brauner:
"This adds a copy_struct_to_user() helper which is a companion helper
to the already widely used copy_struct_from_user().
It copies a struct from kernel space to userspace, in a way that
guarantees backwards-compatibility for struct syscall arguments as
long as future struct extensions are made such that all new fields are
appended to the old struct, and zeroed-out new fields have the same
meaning as the old struct.
The first user is sched_getattr() system call but the new extensible
pidfs ioctl will be ported to it as well"

sched_getattr: port to copy_struct_to_user
uaccess: add copy_struct_to_user helper
This is based on copy_struct_from_user(), but there is one additional
case to consider when creating a syscall that returns an
extensible-struct to userspace -- how should data in the struct that
cannot fit into the userspace struct be handled (ksize > usize)?
There are three possibilies:
1. The interface is like sched_getattr(2), where new information will
be silently not provided to userspace. This is probably what most
interfaces will want to do, as it provides the most possible
backwards-compatibility.
2. The interface is like lsm_list_modules(2), where you want to return
an error like -EMSGSIZE if not providing information could result in
the userspace program making a serious mistake (such as one that
could lead to a security problem) or if you want to provide some
flag to userspace so they know that they are missing some
information.
3. The interface is like statx(2), where there some kind of a request
mask that indicates what data userspace would like. One could
imagine that statx2(2) (using extensible structs) would want to
return -EMSGSIZE if the user explicitly requested a field that their
structure is too small to fit, but not return an error if the field
was not explicitly requested. This is kind of a mix between (1) and
(2) based on the requested mask.
The copy_struct_to_user() helper includes a an extra argument that is
used to return a boolean flag indicating whether there was a non-zero
byte in the trailing bytes that were not copied to userspace. This can
be used in the following ways to handle all three cases, respectively:
1. Just pass NULL, as you don't care about this case.
2. Return an error (say -EMSGSIZE) if the argument was set to true by
copy_struct_to_user().
3. If the argument was set to true by copy_struct_to_user(), check if
there is a flag that implies a field larger than usize.
This is the only case where callers of copy_struct_to_user() should
check usize themselves. This will probably require scanning an array
that specifies what flags were added for each version of the flags
struct and returning an error if the request mask matches any of the
flags that were added in versions of the struct that are larger than
usize.
At the moment we don't have any users of (3), so this patch doesn't
include any helpers to make the necessary scanning easier, but it should
be fairly easy to add some if necessary.

Merge user access fast validation using address masking.
This allows architectures to optionally use a data dependent address
masking model instead of a conditional branch for validating user
accesses. That avoids the Spectre-v1 speculation barriers.
Right now only x86-64 takes advantage of this, and not all architectures
will be able to do it. It requires a guard region between the user and
kernel address spaces (so that you can't overflow from one to the
other), and an easy way to generate a guaranteed-to-fault address for
invalid user pointers.
Also note that this currently assumes that there is no difference
between user read and write accesses. If extended to architectures like
powerpc, we'll also need to separate out the user read-vs-write cases.
* address-masking:
x86: make the masked_user_access_begin() macro use its argument only once
x86: do the user address masking outside the user access area
x86: support user address masking instead of non-speculative conditional
The Spectre-v1 mitigations made "access_ok()" much more expensive, since
it has to serialize execution with the test for a valid user address.
All the normal user copy routines avoid this by just masking the user
address with a data-dependent mask instead, but the fast
"unsafe_user_read()" kind of patterms that were supposed to be a fast
case got slowed down.
This introduces a notion of using
src = masked_user_access_begin(src);
to do the user address sanity using a data-dependent mask instead of the
more traditional conditional
if (user_read_access_begin(src, len)) {
model.
This model only works for dense accesses that start at 'src' and on
architectures that have a guard region that is guaranteed to fault in
between the user space and the kernel space area.
With this, the user access doesn't need to be manually checked, because
a bad address is guaranteed to fault (by some architecture masking
trick: on x86-64 this involves just turning an invalid user address into
all ones, since we don't map the top of address space).
This only converts a couple of examples for now. Example x86-64 code
generation for loading two words from user space:
stac
mov %rax,%rcx
sar $0x3f,%rcx
or %rax,%rcx
mov (%rcx),%r13
mov 0x8(%rcx),%r14
clac
where all the error handling and -EFAULT is now purely handled out of
line by the exception path.
Of course, if the micro-architecture does badly at 'clac' and 'stac',
the above is still pitifully slow. But at least we did as well as we
could.

Rust code needs to be able to access _copy_from_user and _copy_to_user
so that it can skip the check_copy_size check in cases where the length
is known at compile-time, mirroring the logic for when C code will skip
check_copy_size. To do this, we ensure that exported versions of these
methods are available when CONFIG_RUST is enabled.

untagged_addr() removes tags/metadata from the address and brings it to
the canonical form. The helper is implemented on arm64 and sparc. Both of
them do untagging based on global rules.
However, Linear Address Masking (LAM) on x86 introduces per-process
settings for untagging. As a result, untagged_addr() is now only
suitable for untagging addresses for the current proccess.
The new helper untagged_addr_remote() has to be used when the address
targets remote process. It requires the mmap lock for target mm to be
taken.

While there is logic about the difference between ksize and usize,
copy_struct_from_user() didn't check the size of the destination buffer
(when it was known) against ksize. Add this check so there is an upper
bounds check on the possible memset() call, otherwise lower bounds
checks made by callers will trigger bounds warnings under -Warray-bounds.

On hardware with features like arm64 MTE or SPARC ADI, an access fault
can be triggered at sub-page granularity. Depending on how the
fault_in_writeable() function is used, the caller can get into a
live-lock by continuously retrying the fault-in on an address different
from the one where the uaccess failed.
In the majority of cases progress is ensured by the following
conditions:
1. copy_to_user_nofault() guarantees at least one byte access if the
user address is not faulting.
2. The fault_in_writeable() loop is resumed from the first address that
could not be accessed by copy_to_user_nofault().
If the loop iteration is restarted from an earlier (initial) point, the
loop is repeated with the same conditions and it would live-lock.
Introduce an arch-specific probe_subpage_writeable() and call it from
the newly added fault_in_subpage_writeable() function. The arch code
with sub-page faults will have to implement the specific probing
functionality.
Note that no other fault_in_subpage_*() functions are added since they
have no callers currently susceptible to a live-lock.

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"There are three sets of updates for 5.18 in the asm-generic tree:
- The set_fs()/get_fs() infrastructure gets removed for good.
This was already gone from all major architectures, but now we can
finally remove it everywhere, which loses some particularly tricky
and error-prone code. There is a small merge conflict against a
parisc cleanup, the solution is to use their new version.
- The nds32 architecture ends its tenure in the Linux kernel.
The hardware is still used and the code is in reasonable shape, but
the mainline port is not actively maintained any more, as all
remaining users are thought to run vendor kernels that would never
be updated to a future release.
- A series from Masahiro Yamada cleans up some of the uapi header
files to pass the compile-time checks"

There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so CONFIG_SET_FS
can be removed globally, along with the thread_info field and
any references to it.
This turns access_ok() into a cheaper check against TASK_SIZE_MAX.
As CONFIG_SET_FS is now gone, drop all remaining references to
set_fs()/get_fs(), mm_segment_t, user_addr_max() and uaccess_kernel().

There are many different ways that access_ok() is defined across
architectures, but in the end, they all just compare against the
user_addr_max() value or they accept anything.
Provide one definition that works for most architectures, checking
against TASK_SIZE_MAX for user processes or skipping the check inside
of uaccess_kernel() sections.
For architectures without CONFIG_SET_FS(), this should be the fastest
check, as it comes down to a single comparison of a pointer against a
compile-time constant, while the architecture specific versions tend to
do something more complex for historic reasons or get something wrong.
Type checking for __user annotations is handled inconsistently across
architectures, but this is easily simplified as well by using an inline
function that takes a 'const void __user *' argument. A handful of
callers need an extra __user annotation for this.
Some architectures had trick to use 33-bit or 65-bit arithmetic on the
addresses to calculate the overflow, however this simpler version uses
fewer registers, which means it can produce better object code in the
end despite needing a second (statically predicted) branch.

In the same way as commit 14026b94cc ("signal: Add
unsafe_put_compat_sigset()"), this time add
unsafe_get_compat_sigset() macro which is the 'unsafe'
version of get_compat_sigset()
For the bigendian, use unsafe_get_user() directly
to avoid intermediate copy through the stack.
For the littleendian, use a straight unsafe_copy_from_user().
This commit adds the generic fallback for unsafe_copy_from_user().
Architectures wanting to use unsafe_get_compat_sigset() have to
make sure they have their own unsafe_copy_from_user().

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.
Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().
Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.
One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

Now that we've renamed probe_kernel_address() to get_kernel_nofault()
and made it look and behave more in line with get_user(), some of the
subtle type behavior differences end up being more obvious and possibly
dangerous.
When you do
get_user(val, user_ptr);
the type of the access comes from the "user_ptr" part, and the above
basically acts as
val = *user_ptr;
by design (except, of course, for the fact that the actual dereference
is done with a user access).
Note how in the above case, the type of the end result comes from the
pointer argument, and then the value is cast to the type of 'val' as
part of the assignment.
So the type of the pointer is ultimately the more important type both
for the access itself.
But 'get_kernel_nofault()' may now _look_ similar, but it behaves very
differently. When you do
get_kernel_nofault(val, kernel_ptr);
it behaves like
val = *(typeof(val) *)kernel_ptr;
except, of course, for the fact that the actual dereference is done with
exception handling so that a faulting access is suppressed and returned
as the error code.
But note how different the casting behavior of the two superficially
similar accesses are: one does the actual access in the size of the type
the pointer points to, while the other does the access in the size of
the target, and ignores the pointer type entirely.
Actually changing get_kernel_nofault() to act like get_user() is almost
certainly the right thing to do eventually, but in the meantime this
patch adds logit to at least verify that the pointer type is compatible
with the type of the result.
In many cases, this involves just casting the pointer to 'void *' to
make it obvious that the type of the pointer is not the important part.
It's not how 'get_user()' acts, but at least the behavioral difference
is now obvious and explicit.
