      x86/fsgsbase/64: Use TASK_SIZE_MAX for FSBASE/GSBASE upper limits · d696ca01
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      The GSBASE upper limit exists to prevent user code from confusing
      the paranoid idtentry path.  The FSBASE upper limit is just for
      consistency.  There's no need to enforce a smaller limit for 32-bit
      tasks.
      
      Just use TASK_SIZE_MAX.  This simplifies the logic and will save a
      few bytes of code.

      x86/mm/mpx: Work around MPX erratum SKD046 · 0f6ff2bc
      Dave Hansen authored
      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.

      x86/entry/64: Fix stack return address retrieval in thunk · d4bf7078
      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.

      x86/efi: Fix 7-parameter efi_call()s · 683ad809
      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.

      x86/cpufeature, x86/mm/pkeys: Fix broken compile-time disabling of pkeys · e8df1a95
      Dave Hansen authored
      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().
