Subject: KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make sure we don't re-enter guest without XIVE loaded
From: Paul Mackerras <paulus(a)ozlabs.org>
commit 43ff3f65234061e08d234bdef5a9aadc19832b74 upstream.
This fixes a bug where it is possible to enter a guest on a POWER9
system without having the XIVE (interrupt controller) context loaded.
This can happen because we unload the XIVE context from the CPU
before doing the real-mode handling for machine checks. After the
real-mode handler runs, it is possible that we re-enter the guest
via a fast path which does not load the XIVE context.
To fix this, we move the unloading of the XIVE context to come after
the real-mode machine check handler is called.

Subject: KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Drop locks before reading guest memory
From: Paul Mackerras <paulus(a)ozlabs.org>
commit 36ee41d161c67a6fcf696d4817a0da31f778938c upstream.
Running with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP reveals that HV KVM tries to
read guest memory, in order to emulate guest instructions, while
preempt is disabled and a vcore lock is held. This occurs in
kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), called from post_guest_process(), when
emulating guest doorbell instructions on POWER9 systems, and also
when checking whether we have hit a hypervisor breakpoint.
Reading guest memory can cause a page fault and thus cause the
task to sleep, so we need to avoid reading guest memory while
holding a spinlock or when preempt is disabled.
To fix this, we move the preempt_enable() in kvmppc_run_core() to
before the loop that calls post_guest_process() for each vcore that
has just run, and we drop and re-take the vcore lock around the calls
to kvmppc_emulate_debug_inst() and kvmppc_emulate_doorbell_instr().
Dropping the lock is safe with respect to the iteration over the
runnable vcpus in post_guest_process(); for_each_runnable_thread
is actually safe to use locklessly. It is possible for a vcpu
to become runnable and add itself to the runnable_threads array
(code near the beginning of kvmppc_run_vcpu()) and then get included
in the iteration in post_guest_process despite the fact that it
has not just run. This is benign because vcpu->arch.trap and
vcpu->arch.ceded will be zero.

From: Liran Alon <liran.alon(a)oracle.com>
commit 6b6977117f50d60455ace86b2d256f6fb4f3de05 upstream.
Consider the following scenario:
1. CPU A calls vmx_deliver_nested_posted_interrupt() to send an IPI
to CPU B via virtual posted-interrupt mechanism.
2. CPU B is currently executing L2 guest.
3. vmx_deliver_nested_posted_interrupt() calls
kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt() which will note that
vcpu->mode == IN_GUEST_MODE.
4. Assume that before CPU A sends the physical POSTED_INTR_NESTED_VECTOR
IPI, CPU B exits from L2 to L0 during event-delivery
(valid IDT-vectoring-info).
5. CPU A now sends the physical IPI. The IPI is received in host and
it's handler (smp_kvm_posted_intr_nested_ipi()) does nothing.
6. Assume that before CPU A sets pi_pending=true and KVM_REQ_EVENT,
CPU B continues to run in L0 and reach vcpu_enter_guest(). As
KVM_REQ_EVENT is not set yet, vcpu_enter_guest() will continue and resume
L2 guest.
7. At this point, CPU A sets pi_pending=true and KVM_REQ_EVENT but
it's too late! CPU B already entered L2 and KVM_REQ_EVENT will only be
consumed at next L2 entry!
Another scenario to consider:
1. CPU A calls vmx_deliver_nested_posted_interrupt() to send an IPI
to CPU B via virtual posted-interrupt mechanism.
2. Assume that before CPU A calls kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt(),
CPU B is at L0 and is about to resume into L2. Further assume that it is
in vcpu_enter_guest() after check for KVM_REQ_EVENT.
3. At this point, CPU A calls kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt() which
will note that vcpu->mode != IN_GUEST_MODE. Therefore, do nothing and
return false. Then, will set pi_pending=true and KVM_REQ_EVENT.
4. Now CPU B continue and resumes into L2 guest without processing
the posted-interrupt until next L2 entry!
To fix both issues, we just need to change
vmx_deliver_nested_posted_interrupt() to set pi_pending=true and
KVM_REQ_EVENT before calling kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt().
It will fix the first scenario by chaging step (6) to note that
KVM_REQ_EVENT and pi_pending=true and therefore process
nested posted-interrupt.
It will fix the second scenario by two possible ways:
1. If kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt() is called while CPU B has changed
vcpu->mode to IN_GUEST_MODE, physical IPI will be sent and will be received
when CPU resumes into L2.
2. If kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt() is called while CPU B hasn't yet
changed vcpu->mode to IN_GUEST_MODE, then after CPU B will change
vcpu->mode it will call kvm_request_pending() which will return true and
therefore force another round of vcpu_enter_guest() which will note that
KVM_REQ_EVENT and pi_pending=true and therefore process nested
posted-interrupt.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
From: Liran Alon <liran.alon(a)oracle.com>
commit 5c7d4f9ad39d980728b39752304ce10bb2960cbf upstream.
kvm_clear_exception_queue() should clear pending exception.
This also includes exceptions which were only marked pending but not
yet injected. This is because exception.pending is used for both L1
and L2 to determine if an exception should be raised to guest.
Note that an exception which is pending but not yet injected will
be raised again once the guest will be resumed.
Consider the following scenario:
1) L0 KVM with ignore_msrs=false.
2) L1 prepare vmcs12 with the following:
a) No intercepts on MSR (MSR_BITMAP exist and is filled with 0).
b) No intercept for #GP.
c) vmx-preemption-timer is configured.
3) L1 enters into L2.
4) L2 reads an unhandled MSR that exists in MSR_BITMAP
(such as 0x1fff).
L2 RDMSR could be handled as described below:
1) L2 exits to L0 on RDMSR and calls handle_rdmsr().
2) handle_rdmsr() calls kvm_inject_gp() which sets
KVM_REQ_EVENT, exception.pending=true and exception.injected=false.
3) vcpu_enter_guest() consumes KVM_REQ_EVENT and calls
inject_pending_event() which calls vmx_check_nested_events()
which sees that exception.pending=true but
nested_vmx_check_exception() returns 0 and therefore does nothing at
this point. However let's assume it later sees vmx-preemption-timer
expired and therefore exits from L2 to L1 by calling
nested_vmx_vmexit().
4) nested_vmx_vmexit() calls prepare_vmcs12()
which calls vmcs12_save_pending_event() but it does nothing as
exception.injected is false. Also prepare_vmcs12() calls
kvm_clear_exception_queue() which does nothing as
exception.injected is already false.
5) We now return from vmx_check_nested_events() with 0 while still
having exception.pending=true!
6) Therefore inject_pending_event() continues
and we inject L2 exception to L1!...
This commit will fix above issue by changing step (4) to
clear exception.pending in kvm_clear_exception_queue().

Subject: KVM: arm/arm64: Handle CPU_PM_ENTER_FAILED
From: James Morse <james.morse(a)arm.com>
commit 58d6b15e9da5042a99c9c30ad725792e4569150e upstream.
cpu_pm_enter() calls the pm notifier chain with CPU_PM_ENTER, then if
there is a failure: CPU_PM_ENTER_FAILED.
When KVM receives CPU_PM_ENTER it calls cpu_hyp_reset() which will
return us to the hyp-stub. If we subsequently get a CPU_PM_ENTER_FAILED,
KVM does nothing, leaving the CPU running with the hyp-stub, at odds
with kvm_arm_hardware_enabled.
Add CPU_PM_ENTER_FAILED as a fallthrough for CPU_PM_EXIT, this reloads
KVM based on kvm_arm_hardware_enabled. This is safe even if CPU_PM_ENTER
never gets as far as KVM, as cpu_hyp_reinit() calls cpu_hyp_reset()
to make sure the hyp-stub is loaded before reloading KVM.

Subject: kernel/async.c: revert "async: simplify lowest_in_progress()"
From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux(a)rasmusvillemoes.dk>
commit 4f7e988e63e336827f4150de48163bed05d653bd upstream.
This reverts commit 92266d6ef60c ("async: simplify lowest_in_progress()")
which was simply wrong: In the case where domain is NULL, we now use the
wrong offsetof() in the list_first_entry macro, so we don't actually
fetch the ->cookie value, but rather the eight bytes located
sizeof(struct list_head) further into the struct async_entry.
On 64 bit, that's the data member, while on 32 bit, that's a u64 built
from func and data in some order.
I think the bug happens to be harmless in practice: It obviously only
affects callers which pass a NULL domain, and AFAICT the only such
caller is
async_synchronize_full() ->
async_synchronize_full_domain(NULL) ->
async_synchronize_cookie_domain(ASYNC_COOKIE_MAX, NULL)
and the ASYNC_COOKIE_MAX means that in practice we end up waiting for
the async_global_pending list to be empty - but it would break if
somebody happened to pass (void*)-1 as the data element to
async_schedule, and of course also if somebody ever does a
async_synchronize_cookie_domain(, NULL) with a "finite" cookie value.
Maybe the "harmless in practice" means this isn't -stable material. But
I'm not completely confident my quick git grep'ing is enough, and there
might be affected code in one of the earlier kernels that has since been
removed, so I'll leave the decision to the stable guys.

Subject: kasan: rework Kconfig settings
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd(a)arndb.de>
commit e7c52b84fb18f08ce49b6067ae6285aca79084a8 upstream.
We get a lot of very large stack frames using gcc-7.0.1 with the default
-fsanitize-address-use-after-scope --param asan-stack=1 options, which can
easily cause an overflow of the kernel stack, e.g.
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2434:1: warning: the frame size of 46176 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2800lib.c:5650:1: warning: the frame size of 23632 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
lib/atomic64_test.c:250:1: warning: the frame size of 11200 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2621:1: warning: the frame size of 9208 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv090x.c:3431:1: warning: the frame size of 6816 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
fs/fscache/stats.c:287:1: warning: the frame size of 6536 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
To reduce this risk, -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope is now split out
into a separate CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA Kconfig option, leading to stack
frames that are smaller than 2 kilobytes most of the time on x86_64. An
earlier version of this patch also prevented combining KASAN_EXTRA with
KASAN_INLINE, but that is no longer necessary with gcc-7.0.1.
All patches to get the frame size below 2048 bytes with CONFIG_KASAN=y
and CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA=n have been merged by maintainers now, so we can
bring back that default now. KASAN_EXTRA=y still causes lots of
warnings but now defaults to !COMPILE_TEST to disable it in
allmodconfig, and it remains disabled in all other defconfigs since it
is a new option. I arbitrarily raise the warning limit for KASAN_EXTRA
to 3072 to reduce the noise, but an allmodconfig kernel still has around
50 warnings on gcc-7.
I experimented a bit more with smaller stack frames and have another
follow-up series that reduces the warning limit for 64-bit architectures
to 1280 bytes (without CONFIG_KASAN).
With earlier versions of this patch series, I also had patches to address
the warnings we get with KASAN and/or KASAN_EXTRA, using a
"noinline_if_stackbloat" annotation.
That annotation now got replaced with a gcc-8 bugfix (see
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81715) and a workaround for
older compilers, which means that KASAN_EXTRA is now just as bad as
before and will lead to an instant stack overflow in a few extreme
cases.
This reverts parts of commit 3f181b4d8652 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: disable
-Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y"). Two patches in linux-next
should be merged first to avoid introducing warnings in an allmodconfig
build:
3cd890dbe2a4 ("media: dvb-frontends: fix i2c access helpers for KASAN")
16c3ada89cff ("media: r820t: fix r820t_write_reg for KASAN")
Do we really need to backport this?
I think we do: without this patch, enabling KASAN will lead to
unavoidable kernel stack overflow in certain device drivers when built
with gcc-7 or higher on linux-4.10+ or any version that contains a
backport of commit c5caf21ab0cf8. Most people are probably still on
older compilers, but it will get worse over time as they upgrade their
distros.
The warnings we get on kernels older than this should all be for code
that uses dangerously large stack frames, though most of them do not
cause an actual stack overflow by themselves.The asan-stack option was
added in linux-4.0, and commit 3f181b4d8652 ("lib/Kconfig.debug:
disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y") effectively turned
off the warning for allmodconfig kernels, so I would like to see this
fix backported to any kernels later than 4.0.
I have done dozens of fixes for individual functions with stack frames
larger than 2048 bytes with asan-stack, and I plan to make sure that
all those fixes make it into the stable kernels as well (most are
already there).
Part of the complication here is that asan-stack (from 4.0) was
originally assumed to always require much larger stacks, but that
turned out to be a combination of multiple gcc bugs that we have now
worked around and fixed, but sanitize-address-use-after-scope (from
v4.10) has a much higher inherent stack usage and also suffers from at
least three other problems that we have analyzed but not yet fixed
upstream, each of them makes the stack usage more severe than it should
be.

Subject: kasan: don't emit builtin calls when sanitization is off
From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl(a)google.com>
commit 0e410e158e5baa1300bdf678cea4f4e0cf9d8b94 upstream.
With KASAN enabled the kernel has two different memset() functions, one
with KASAN checks (memset) and one without (__memset). KASAN uses some
macro tricks to use the proper version where required. For example
memset() calls in mm/slub.c are without KASAN checks, since they operate
on poisoned slab object metadata.
The issue is that clang emits memset() calls even when there is no
memset() in the source code. They get linked with improper memset()
implementation and the kernel fails to boot due to a huge amount of KASAN
reports during early boot stages.
The solution is to add -fno-builtin flag for files with KASAN_SANITIZE :=
n marker.

This is because when the device is released in
platform_device_release(), we try to free
pdev.driver_override. This is a const string, hence
the crash.
Fix by using dynamic memory for pdev->driver_override.

[Removed the free of driver_override from ipmi_si_remove_by_dev(). The
free is done in platform_device_release(), and would result in a double
free, and ipmi_si_remove_by_dev() is called by non-platform devices.]
