<content type='text'>
commit 9d89d9e61d361f3adb75e1aebe4bb367faf16cfa upstream.

Newer machines might use a different (larger) format for function
measurement blocks. To ensure that we comply with the alignment
requirement on these machines and prevent memory corruption (when
firmware writes more data than we expect) add 16 padding bytes
at the end of the fmb.

commit 80c544ded25ac14d7cc3e555abb8ed2c2da99b84 upstream.

The function measurement block must not cross a page boundary. Ensure
that by raising the alignment requirement to the smallest power of 2
larger than the size of the fmb.

<title>s390/mm: four page table levels vs. fork</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3446c13b268af86391d06611327006b059b8bab1</id>
<content type='text'>
The fork of a process with four page table levels is broken since
git commit 6252d702c5311ce9 "[S390] dynamic page tables."

All new mm contexts are created with three page table levels and
an asce limit of 4TB. If the parent has four levels dup_mmap will
add vmas to the new context which are outside of the asce limit.
The subsequent call to copy_page_range will walk the three level
page table structure of the new process with non-zero pgd and pud
indexes. This leads to memory clobbers as the pgd_index *and* the
pud_index is added to the mm-&gt;pgd pointer without a pgd_deref
in between.

The init_new_context() function is selecting the number of page
table levels for a new context. The function is used by mm_init()
which in turn is called by dup_mm() and mm_alloc(). These two are
used by fork() and exec(). The init_new_context() function can
distinguish the two cases by looking at mm-&gt;context.asce_limit,
for fork() the mm struct has been copied and the number of page
table levels may not change. For exec() the mm_alloc() function
set the new mm structure to zero, in this case a three-level page
table is created as the temporary stack space is located at
STACK_TOP_MAX = 4TB.

This fixes CVE-2016-2143.

"s390/kernel: introduce fpu-internal.h with fpu helper functions"
introduced the fpregs_store / fp_regs_load helper. These function
fail to save and restore the floating pointer control registers.

The effect is that the FPC is not correctly handled on signal
delivery and signal return.

 - regression (from 4.4) fix for ordering issue, introduced by an
   earlier ftrace change, that broke live patching of modules.

   The fix replaces the ftrace module notifier by direct call in order
   to make the ordering guaranteed and well-defined.  The patch, from
   Jessica Yu, has been acked both by Steven and Rusty

 - error message fix from Miroslav Benes

The kernel now always uses vector registers when available, however KVM
has special logic if support is really enabled for a guest. If support
is disabled, guest_fpregs.fregs will only contain memory for the fpu.
The kernel, however, will store vector registers into that area,
resulting in crazy memory overwrites.

Simply extending that area is not enough, because the format of the
registers also changes. We would have to do additional conversions, making
the code even more complex. Therefore let's directly use one place for
the vector/fpu registers + fpc (in kvm_run). We just have to convert the
data properly when accessing it. This makes current code much easier.

Please note that vector/fpu registers are now always stored to
vcpu-&gt;run-&gt;s.regs.vrs. Although this data is visible to QEMU and
used for migration, we only guarantee valid values to user space  when
KVM_SYNC_VRS is set. As that is only the case when we have vector
register support, we are on the safe side.
