Since cd758a9b "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use __gfn_to_pfn_memslot in HPT page fault handler", it's been possible in fairly rare circumstances to load a non-present PTE in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault() when running a guest on a POWER8 host. Because that case wasn't checked for, we could misinterpret the non-present PTE as being a cache-inhibited PTE. That could mismatch with the corresponding hash PTE, which would cause the function to fail with -EFAULT a little further down. That would propagate up to the KVM_RUN ioctl() generally causing the KVM userspace (usually qemu) to fall over. This addresses the problem by catching that case and returning to the guest instead. For completeness, this fixes the radix page fault handler in the same way. For radix this didn't cause any obvious misbehaviour, because we ended up putting the non-present PTE into the guest's partition-scoped page tables, leading immediately to another hypervisor data/instruction storage interrupt, which would go through the page fault path again and fix things up.

Frame pointers are completely broken by vmenter.S because it clobbers RBP: arch/x86/kvm/svm/vmenter.o: warning: objtool: __svm_vcpu_run()+0xe4: BP used as a scratch register That's unavoidable, so just skip checking that file when frame pointers are configured in.

tpm_ibmvtpm_send() can fail during PowerVM Live Partition Mobility resume with an H_CLOSED return from ibmvtpm_send_crq(). The PAPR says, 'The "partner partition suspended" transport event disables the associated CRQ such that any H_SEND_CRQ hcall() to the associated CRQ returns H_Closed until the CRQ has been explicitly enabled using the H_ENABLE_CRQ hcall.' This patch adds a check in tpm_ibmvtpm_send() for an H_CLOSED return from ibmvtpm_send_crq() and in that case calls tpm_ibmvtpm_resume() and retries the ibmvtpm_send_crq() once.

vhost is currently broken on the some ARM configs. The reason is that the ring element addresses are passed between components with different alignments assumptions. Thus, if guest selects a pointer and host then gets and dereferences it, then alignment assumed by the host's compiler might be greater than the actual alignment of the pointer. compiler on the host from assuming pointer is aligned. This actually triggers on ARM with -mabi=apcs-gnu - which is a deprecated configuration. With this OABI, compiler assumes that all structures are 4 byte aligned - which is stronger than virtio guarantees for available and used rings, which are merely 2 bytes. Thus a guest without -mabi=apcs-gnu running on top of host with -mabi=apcs-gnu will be broken. The correct fix is to force alignment of structures - however that is an intrusive fix that's best deferred until the next release. We didn't previously support such ancient systems at all - this surfaced after vdpa support prompted removing dependency of vhost on VIRTULIZATION. So for now, let's just add something along the lines of depends on !ARM || AEABI to the virtio Kconfig declaration, and add a comment that it has to do with struct member alignment. Note: we can't make VHOST and VHOST_RING themselves have a dependency since these are selected. Add a new symbol for that. We should be able to drop this dependency down the road.

The diag 0x44 handler, which handles a directed yield, goes into a a codepath that does a kvm_for_each_vcpu() and ultimately deliverable_irqs(). The new check for kvm_s390_pv_cpu_is_protected() contains an assertion that the vcpu->mutex is held, which isn't going to be the case in this scenario. The result is a plethora of these messages if the lock debugging is enabled, and thus an implication that we have a problem.

When remapping a mapping where a portion of a VMA is remapped into another portion of the VMA it can cause the VMA to become split. During the copy_vma operation the VMA can actually be remerged if it's an anonymous VMA whose pages have not yet been faulted. This isn't normally a problem because at the end of the remap the original portion is unmapped causing it to become split again. However, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP leaves that original portion in place which means that the VMA which was split and then remerged is not actually split at the end of the mremap. This patch fixes a bug where we don't detect that the VMAs got remerged and we end up putting back VM_ACCOUNT on the next mapping which is completely unreleated. When that next mapping is unmapped it results in incorrectly unaccounting for the memory which was never accounted, and eventually we will underflow on the memory comittment. There is also another issue which is similar, we're currently accouting for the number of pages in the new_vma but that's wrong. We need to account for the length of the remap operation as that's all that is being added. If there was a mapping already at that location its comittment would have been adjusted as part of the munmap at the start of the mremap. A really simple repro can be seen in: https://gist.github.com/bgaff/e101ce99da7d9a8c60acc641d07f312c Fixes: e346b381 ("mm/mremap: add MREMAP_DONTUNMAP to mremap()") Reported-by: syzbot <syzkaller@googlegroups.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Geffon <bgeffon@google.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Merge tag 'flexible-array-member-5.7-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gustavoars/linux Pull flexible-array member conversion from Gustavo Silva: "The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member convertions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. Notice that all of these patches have been baking in linux-next for quite a while now and, 238 more of these patches have already been merged into 5.7-rc1.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
