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.

<id>urn:sha1:37828ff8b8d1437a0165c6373608d7715bb63fc9</id>
<content type='text'>
commit fc897c95e91451271cd707ee0f71022b9b201ce9 upstream.

With the THP refcounting rework it is possible to see THP compound tail
pages mapped with PTEs during a THP split. This needs to be considered
when using page_cache_get_speculative(), which will always fail on tail
pages because -&gt;_count is always zero. commit 7aef4172 "mm: handle
PTE-mapped tail pages in gerneric fast gup implementaiton" fixed it for
the generic fast gup code by using compound_head(page) instead of page,
but not for s390.

This patch is a 1:1 adaption of commit 7aef4172 for the s390 fast gup
code. Without this fix, gup will fall back to the slow path or fail
in the unlikely scenario that we hit a THP under splitting in-between
the page table split and the compound page split.

commit 8f100bb1ff27873dd71f636da670e503b9ade3c6 upstream.

Add the missing lpp magic initialization for cpu 0. Without this all
samples on cpu 0 do not have the most significant bit set in the
program parameter field, which we use to distinguish between guest and
host samples if the pid is also 0.

We did initialize the lpp magic in the absolute zero lowcore but
forgot that when switching to the allocated lowcore on cpu 0 only.

commit e370e4769463a65dcf8806fa26d2874e0542ac41 upstream.

There is a tricky interaction between the machine check handler
and the critical sections of load_fpu_regs and save_fpu_regs
functions. If the machine check interrupts one of the two
functions the critical section cleanup will complete the function
before the machine check handler s390_do_machine_check is called.
Trouble is that the machine check handler needs to validate the
floating point registers *before* and not *after* the completion
of load_fpu_regs/save_fpu_regs.

The simplest solution is to rewind the PSW to the start of the
load_fpu_regs/save_fpu_regs and retry the function after the
return from the machine check handler.

<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.

With MACHINE_HAS_VX, we convert the floating point registers from the
vector registeres when storing the status. For other VCPUs, these are
stored to vcpu-&gt;run-&gt;s.regs.vrs, but we are using current-&gt;thread.fpu.vxrs,
which resolves to the currently loaded VCPU.

So kvm_s390_store_status_unloaded() currently writes the wrong floating
point registers (converted from the vector registers) when called from
another VCPU on a z13.

This is only the case for old user space not handling SIGP STORE STATUS and
SIGP STOP AND STORE STATUS, but relying on the kernel implementation. All
other calls come from the loaded VCPU via kvm_s390_store_status().

we have to check bit 40 of the facility list before issuing LPP
and not bit 48. Otherwise a guest running on a system with
"The decimal-floating-point zoned-conversion facility" and without
the "The set-program-parameters facility" might crash on an lpp
