<content type='text'>
commit 5a28fc94c9143db766d1ba5480cae82d856ad080 upstream.

This is a bit of a mess, to put it mildly.  But, it's a bug
that only seems to have showed up in 4.20 but wasn't noticed
until now, because nobody uses MPX.

MPX has the arch_unmap() hook inside of munmap() because MPX
uses bounds tables that protect other areas of memory.  When
memory is unmapped, there is also a need to unmap the MPX
bounds tables.  Barring this, unused bounds tables can eat 80%
of the address space.

But, the recursive do_munmap() that gets called vi arch_unmap()
wreaks havoc with __do_munmap()'s state.  It can result in
freeing populated page tables, accessing bogus VMA state,
double-freed VMAs and more.

See the "long story" further below for the gory details.

To fix this, call arch_unmap() before __do_unmap() has a chance
to do anything meaningful.  Also, remove the 'vma' argument
and force the MPX code to do its own, independent VMA lookup.

== UML / unicore32 impact ==

Remove unused 'vma' argument to arch_unmap().  No functional
change.

I compile tested this on UML but not unicore32.

== powerpc impact ==

powerpc uses arch_unmap() well to watch for munmap() on the
VDSO and zeroes out 'current-&gt;mm-&gt;context.vdso_base'.  Moving
arch_unmap() makes this happen earlier in __do_munmap().  But,
'vdso_base' seems to only be used in perf and in the signal
delivery that happens near the return to userspace.  I can not
find any likely impact to powerpc, other than the zeroing
happening a little earlier.

powerpc does not use the 'vma' argument and is unaffected by
its removal.

I compile-tested a 64-bit powerpc defconfig.

== x86 impact ==

For the common success case this is functionally identical to
what was there before.  For the munmap() failure case, it's
possible that some MPX tables will be zapped for memory that
continues to be in use.  But, this is an extraordinarily
unlikely scenario and the harm would be that MPX provides no
protection since the bounds table got reset (zeroed).

I can't imagine anyone doing this:

	ptr = mmap();
	// use ptr
	ret = munmap(ptr);
	if (ret)
		// oh, there was an error, I'll
		// keep using ptr.

Because if you're doing munmap(), you are *done* with the
memory.  There's probably no good data in there _anyway_.

This passes the original reproducer from Richard Biener as
well as the existing mpx selftests/.

The long story:

munmap() has a couple of pieces:

 1. Find the affected VMA(s)
 2. Split the start/end one(s) if neceesary
 3. Pull the VMAs out of the rbtree
 4. Actually zap the memory via unmap_region(), including
    freeing page tables (or queueing them to be freed).
 5. Fix up some of the accounting (like fput()) and actually
    free the VMA itself.

This specific ordering was actually introduced by:

  dd2283f2605e ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap")

during the 4.20 merge window.  The previous __do_munmap() code
was actually safe because the only thing after arch_unmap() was
remove_vma_list().  arch_unmap() could not see 'vma' in the
rbtree because it was detached, so it is not even capable of
doing operations unsafe for remove_vma_list()'s use of 'vma'.

Richard Biener reported a test that shows this in dmesg:

  [1216548.787498] BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:0000000017ce560b idx:1 val:551
  [1216548.787500] BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm: 24576

What triggered this was the recursive do_munmap() called via
arch_unmap().  It was freeing page tables that has not been
properly zapped.

But, the problem was bigger than this.  For one, arch_unmap()
can free VMAs.  But, the calling __do_munmap() has variables
that *point* to VMAs and obviously can't handle them just
getting freed while the pointer is still in use.

I tried a couple of things here.  First, I tried to fix the page
table freeing problem in isolation, but I then found the VMA
issue.  I also tried having the MPX code return a flag if it
modified the rbtree which would force __do_munmap() to re-walk
to restart.  That spiralled out of control in complexity pretty
fast.

Just moving arch_unmap() and accepting that the bonkers failure
case might eat some bounds tables seems like the simplest viable
fix.

This was also reported in the following kernel bugzilla entry:

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203123

There are some reports that this commit triggered this bug:

  dd2283f2605 ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap")

While that commit certainly made the issues easier to hit, I believe
the fundamental issue has been with us as long as MPX itself, thus
the Fixes: tag below is for one of the original MPX commits.

<title>KVM: export &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; iif KVM is supported</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3d9683cf3bfb6d4e4605a153958dfca7e18b52f2</id>
<content type='text'>
I do not see any consistency about headers_install of &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt;
and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt;.

According to my analysis of Linux 5.1-rc1, there are 3 groups:

 [1] Both &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; are exported

    alpha, arm, hexagon, mips, powerpc, s390, sparc, x86

 [2] &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; is exported, but &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; is not

    arc, arm64, c6x, h8300, ia64, m68k, microblaze, nios2, openrisc,
    parisc, sh, unicore32, xtensa

 [3] Neither &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; nor &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; is exported

    csky, nds32, riscv

This does not match to the actual KVM support. At least, [2] is
half-baked.

Nor do arch maintainers look like they care about this. For example,
commit 0add53713b1c ("microblaze: Add missing kvm_para.h to Kbuild")
exported &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; to user-space in order to fix an in-kernel
build error.

We have two ways to make this consistent:

 [A] export both &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; for all
     architectures, irrespective of the KVM support

 [B] Match the header export of &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt;
     to the KVM support

My first attempt was [A] because the code looks cleaner, but Paolo
suggested [B].

So, this commit goes with [B].

For most architectures, &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; was moved to the kernel-space.
I changed include/uapi/linux/Kbuild so that it checks generated
asm/kvm_para.h as well as check-in ones.

After this commit, there will be two groups:

 [1] Both &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; are exported

    arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, x86

 [2] Neither &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; nor &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; is exported

    alpha, arc, c6x, csky, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m68k, microblaze,
    nds32, nios2, openrisc, parisc, riscv, sh, sparc, unicore32, xtensa

<content type='text'>
Currently, every arch/*/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild explicitly includes
the common Kbuild.asm file. Factor out the duplicated include directives
to scripts/Makefile.asm-generic so that no architecture would opt out
of the mandatory-y mechanism.

um is not forced to include mandatory-y since it is a very exceptional
case which does not support UAPI.

When I was searching for unneeded $(KCONFIG_CONFIG) usages, I noticed
this strange build dependency.

It can use $(call if_changed,...) in case ZTEXTADDR and ZBSSADDR are
changed, but even a simpler way is to use the pattern rule in
scripts/Makefile.build. This is what arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile
does.

I did only build test. I confirmed equivalent vmlinux.lds was generated.

Add check for the return value of memblock_alloc*() functions and call
panic() in case of error.  The panic message repeats the one used by
panicing memblock allocators with adjustment of parameters to include
only relevant ones.

The replacement was mostly automated with semantic patches like the one
below with manual massaging of format strings.

  ptr = memblock_alloc(size, align);

<content type='text'>
Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p"),
the virtual memory layout printed during boot up contains "ptrval"
instead of actual addresses.

Instead of changing the printing to "%px", and leaking virtual memory
layout information again, just remove the printing completely, cfr.
e.g.  commits 071929dbdd86 ("arm64: Stop printing the virtual memory
layout") and 31833332f798 ("m68k/mm: Stop printing the virtual memory
layout").

All interesting information (actual section sizes) is already printed by
mem_init_print_info() just above anyway.

There are several early memory allocations in arch/ code that use
memblock_phys_alloc() to allocate memory, convert the returned physical
address to the virtual address and then set the allocated memory to
zero.

Exactly the same behaviour can be achieved simply by calling
memblock_alloc(): it allocates the memory in the same way as
memblock_phys_alloc(), then it performs the phys_to_virt() conversion
and clears the allocated memory.

Replace the longer sequence with a simpler call to memblock_alloc().

Pull additional syscall ABI cleanup for y2038 from Arnd Bergmann:

This is a follow-up to the y2038 syscall patches already merged in the tip
tree.  As the final 32-bit RISC-V syscall ABI is still being decided on,
this is the last chance to make a few corrections to leave out interfaces
based on 32-bit time_t along with the old off_t and rlimit types.

The series achieves this in a few steps:

- A couple of bug fixes for minor regressions I introduced
  in the original series

- A couple of older patches from Yury Norov that I had never
  merged in the past, these fix up the openat/open_by_handle_at and
  getrlimit/setrlimit syscalls to disallow the old versions of off_t
  and rlimit.

- Hiding the deprecated system calls behind an #ifdef in
  include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h

- Change arch/riscv to drop all these ABIs.

Originally, the plan was to also leave these out on C-Sky, but that now
has a glibc port that uses the older interfaces, so we need to leave
them in place.
