[ Upstream commit d4ffd5df9d18031b6a53f934388726775b4452d3 ]

The function __bad_area_nosemaphore() calls kernelmode_fixup_or_oops()
with the parameter @signal being actually @pkey, which will send a
signal numbered with the argument in @pkey.

This bug can be triggered when the kernel fails to access user-given
memory pages that are protected by a pkey, so it can go down the
do_user_addr_fault() path and pass the !user_mode() check in
__bad_area_nosemaphore().

Most cases will simply run the kernel fixup code to make an -EFAULT. But
when another condition current-&gt;thread.sig_on_uaccess_err is met, which
is only used to emulate vsyscall, the kernel will generate the wrong
signal.

Add a new parameter @pkey to kernelmode_fixup_or_oops() to fix this.

<title>x86/fpu: Use pkru_write_default() in copy_init_fpstate_to_fpregs()</title>

<content type='text'>
There is no point in using copy_init_pkru_to_fpregs() which in turn calls
write_pkru(). write_pkru() tries to fiddle with the task's xstate buffer
for nothing because the XRSTOR[S](init_fpstate) just cleared the xfeature
flag in the xstate header which makes get_xsave_addr() fail.

It's a useless exercise anyway because the reinitialization activates the
FPU so before the task's xstate buffer can be used again a XRSTOR[S] must
happen which in turn dumps the PKRU value.

Get rid of the now unused copy_init_pkru_to_fpregs().

<title>x86/cpu: Sanitize X86_FEATURE_OSPKE</title>

X86_FEATURE_OSPKE is enabled first on the boot CPU and the feature flag is
set. Secondary CPUs have to enable CR4.PKE as well and set their per CPU
feature flag. That's ineffective because all call sites have checks for
boot_cpu_data.

Make it smarter and force the feature flag when PKU is enabled on the boot
cpu which allows then to use cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_OSPKE) all
over the place. That either compiles the code out when PKEY support is
disabled in Kconfig or uses a static_cpu_has() for the feature check which
makes a significant difference in hotpaths, e.g. context switch.

Alex Shi reported the pkey macros above arch_set_user_pkey_access()
to be unused.  They are unused, and even refer to a nonexistent
CONFIG option.

But, they might have served a good use, which was to ensure that
the code does not try to set values that would not fit in the
PKRU register.  As it stands, a too-large 'pkey' value would
be likely to silently overflow the u32 new_pkru_bits.

Add a check to look for overflows.  Also add a comment to remind
any future developer to closely examine the types used to store
pkey values if arch_max_pkey() ever changes.

This boots and passes the x86 pkey selftests.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Support for split PMD page table lock on 64-bit Book3S (Power8/9).

   - Add support for HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE, so we properly support
     live patching again.

   - Add support for patching barrier_nospec in copy_from_user() and
     syscall entry.

   - A couple of fixes for our data breakpoints on Book3S.

   - A series from Nick optimising TLB/mm handling with the Radix MMU.

   - Numerous small cleanups to squash sparse/gcc warnings from Mathieu
     Malaterre.

   - Several series optimising various parts of the 32-bit code from
     Christophe Leroy.

   - Removal of support for two old machines, "SBC834xE" and "C2K"
     ("GEFanuc,C2K"), which is why the diffstat has so many deletions.

  And many other small improvements &amp; fixes.

  There's a few out-of-area changes. Some minor ftrace changes OK'ed by
  Steve, and a fix to our powernv cpuidle driver. Then there's a series
  touching mm, x86 and fs/proc/task_mmu.c, which cleans up some details
  around pkey support. It was ack'ed/reviewed by Ingo &amp; Dave and has
  been in next for several weeks.

<title>x86/pkeys: Do not special case protection key 0</title>

<content type='text'>
mm_pkey_is_allocated() treats pkey 0 as unallocated.  That is
inconsistent with the manpages, and also inconsistent with
mm-&gt;context.pkey_allocation_map.  Stop special casing it and only
disallow values that are actually bad (&lt; 0).

The end-user visible effect of this is that you can now use
mprotect_pkey() to set pkey=0.

This is a bit nicer than what Ram proposed[1] because it is simpler
and removes special-casing for pkey 0.  On the other hand, it does
allow applications to pkey_free() pkey-0, but that's just a silly
thing to do, so we are not going to protect against it.

The scenario that could happen is similar to what happens if you free
any other pkey that is in use: it might get reallocated later and used
to protect some other data.  The most likely scenario is that pkey-0
comes back from pkey_alloc(), an access-disable or write-disable bit
is set in PKRU for it, and the next stack access will SIGSEGV.  It's
not horribly different from if you mprotect()'d your stack or heap to
be unreadable or unwritable, which is generally very foolish, but also
not explicitly prevented by the kernel.

<title>x86/pkeys: Override pkey when moving away from PROT_EXEC</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0a0b152083cfc44ec1bb599b57b7aab41327f998</id>
<content type='text'>
I got a bug report that the following code (roughly) was
causing a SIGSEGV:

	mprotect(ptr, size, PROT_EXEC);
	mprotect(ptr, size, PROT_NONE);
	mprotect(ptr, size, PROT_READ);
	*ptr = 100;

The problem is hit when the mprotect(PROT_EXEC)
is implicitly assigned a protection key to the VMA, and made
that key ACCESS_DENY|WRITE_DENY.  The PROT_NONE mprotect()
failed to remove the protection key, and the PROT_NONE-&gt;
PROT_READ left the PTE usable, but the pkey still in place
and left the memory inaccessible.

To fix this, we ensure that we always "override" the pkee
at mprotect() if the VMA does not have execute-only
permissions, but the VMA has the execute-only pkey.

We had a check for PROT_READ/WRITE, but it did not work
for PROT_NONE.  This entirely removes the PROT_* checks,
which ensures that PROT_NONE now works.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
