      x86/fpu: Load xsave pointer *after* initialization · 18ecb3bf
      Borislav Petkov authored
      So I was playing with gdb today and did this simple thing:
      
      	gdb /bin/ls
      
      	...
      
      	(gdb) run
      
      Box exploded with this splat:
      
      	BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000001d0
      	IP: [<ffffffff8100fe5a>] xstateregs_get+0x7a/0x120
      	[...]
      
      	Call Trace:
      	 ptrace_regset
      	 ptrace_request
      	 ? wait_task_inactive
      	 ? preempt_count_sub
      	 arch_ptrace
      	 ? ptrace_get_task_struct
      	 SyS_ptrace
      	 system_call_fastpath
      
      ... because we do cache &target->thread.fpu.state->xsave into the
      local variable xsave but that pointer is NULL at that time and
      it gets initialized later, in init_fpu(), see:
      
      	e7f180dc ("x86/fpu: Change xstateregs_get()/set() to use ->xsave.i387 rather than ->fxsave")
      
      The fix is simple: load xsave *after* init_fpu() has run.
      
      Also do the same in xstateregs_set(), as suggested by Oleg Nesterov.

      x86/ptrace: Fix the TIF_FORCED_TF logic in handle_signal() · fd0f86b6
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      When the TIF_SINGLESTEP tracee dequeues a signal,
      handle_signal() clears TIF_FORCED_TF and X86_EFLAGS_TF but
      leaves TIF_SINGLESTEP set.
      
      If the tracer does PTRACE_SINGLESTEP again, enable_single_step()
      sets X86_EFLAGS_TF but not TIF_FORCED_TF.  This means that the
      subsequent PTRACE_CONT doesn't not clear X86_EFLAGS_TF, and the
      tracee gets the wrong SIGTRAP.
      
      Test-case (needs -O2 to avoid prologue insns in signal handler):
      
      	#include <unistd.h>
      	#include <stdio.h>
      	#include <sys/ptrace.h>
      	#include <sys/wait.h>
      	#include <sys/user.h>
      	#include <assert.h>
      	#include <stddef.h>
      
      	void handler(int n)
      	{
      		asm("nop");
      	}
      
      	int child(void)
      	{
      		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
      		signal(SIGALRM, handler);
      		kill(getpid(), SIGALRM);
      		return 0x23;
      	}
      
      	void *getip(int pid)
      	{
      		return (void*)ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, pid,
      					offsetof(struct user, regs.rip), 0);
      	}
      
      	int main(void)
      	{
      		int pid, status;
      
      		pid = fork();
      		if (!pid)
      			return child();
      
      		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
      		assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGALRM);
      
      		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0, SIGALRM) == 0);
      		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
      		assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGTRAP);
      		assert((getip(pid) - (void*)handler) == 0);
      
      		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0, SIGALRM) == 0);
      		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
      		assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGTRAP);
      		assert((getip(pid) - (void*)handler) == 1);
      
      		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0,0) == 0);
      		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
      		assert(WIFEXITED(status) && WEXITSTATUS(status) == 0x23);
      
      		return 0;
      	}
      
      The last assert() fails because PTRACE_CONT wrongly triggers
      another single-step and X86_EFLAGS_TF can't be cleared by
      debugger until the tracee does sys_rt_sigreturn().
      
      Change handle_signal() to do user_disable_single_step() if
      stepping, we do not need to preserve TIF_SINGLESTEP because we
      are going to do ptrace_notify(), and it is simply wrong to leak
      this bit.
      
      While at it, change the comment to explain why we also need to
      clear TF unconditionally after setup_rt_frame().
      
      Note: in the longer term we should probably change
      setup_sigcontext() to use get_flags() and then just remove this
      user_disable_single_step().  And, the state of TIF_FORCED_TF can
      be wrong after restore_sigcontext() which can set/clear TF, this
      needs another fix.
      
      This fix fixes the 'single_step_syscall_32' testcase in
      the x86 testsuite:
      
      Before:
      
      	~/linux/tools/testing/selftests/x86> ./single_step_syscall_32
      	[RUN]   Set TF and check nop
      	[OK]    Survived with TF set and 9 traps
      	[RUN]   Set TF and check int80
      	[OK]    Survived with TF set and 9 traps

      	[WARN]  Hit 10000 SIGTRAPs with si_addr 0xf7789cc0, ip 0xf7789cc0
      	Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
      
      After:
      
      	~/linux/linux/tools/testing/selftests/x86> ./single_step_syscall_32
      	[RUN]   Set TF and check nop
      	[OK]    Survived with TF set and 9 traps
      	[RUN]   Set TF and check int80

      	[RUN]   Set TF and check a fast syscall
      	[OK]    Survived with TF set and 39 traps
      	[RUN]   Fast syscall with TF cleared
      	[OK]    Nothing unexpected happened

      x86, selftests: Add single_step_syscall test · 0a15584d
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      This is a very simple test that makes system calls with TF set.
      
      This test currently fails when running the 32-bit build on a
      64-bit kernel on an Intel CPU.  This bug will be fixed by the
      next commit.

       "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)

         - 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"
