commit 0d83432811f26871295a9bc24d3c387924da6071 upstream.

free_reserved_area() takes pointers as arguments to show which addresses
should be freed.  However, it does this in a somewhat ambiguous way.  If it
gets a kernel direct map address, it always works.  However, if it gets an
address that is part of the kernel image alias mapping, it can fail.

It fails if all of the following happen:
 * The specified address is part of the kernel image alias
 * Poisoning is requested (forcing a memset())
 * The address is in a read-only portion of the kernel image

The memset() fails on the read-only mapping, of course.
free_reserved_area() *is* called both on the direct map and on kernel image
alias addresses.  We've just lucked out thus far that the kernel image
alias areas it gets used on are read-write.  I'm fairly sure this has been
just a happy accident.

It is quite easy to make free_reserved_area() work for all cases: just
convert the address to a direct map address before doing the memset(), and
do this unconditionally.  There is little chance of a regression here
because we previously did a virt_to_page() on the address for the memset,
so we know these are not highmem pages for which virt_to_page() would fail.

Like vm_area_dup(), it initializes the anon_vma_chain head, and the
basic mm pointer.

The rest of the fields end up being different for different users,
although the plan is to also initialize the 'vm_ops' field to a dummy
entry.

<id>urn:sha1:5aac8b553059deec6d5d628f6da9271e247a0aac</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 3928d4f5ee37cdc523894f6e549e6aae521d8980 ]

The vm_area_struct is one of the most fundamental memory management
objects, but the management of it is entirely open-coded evertwhere,
ranging from allocation and freeing (using kmem_cache_[z]alloc and
kmem_cache_free) to initializing all the fields.

We want to unify this in order to end up having some unified
initialization of the vmas, and the first step to this is to at least
have basic allocation functions.

Right now those functions are literally just wrappers around the
kmem_cache_*() calls.  This is a purely mechanical conversion:

    # new vma:
    kmem_cache_zalloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -&gt; vm_area_alloc()

    # copy old vma
    kmem_cache_alloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -&gt; vm_area_dup(old)

    # free vma
    kmem_cache_free(vm_area_cachep, vma) -&gt; vm_area_free(vma)

to the point where the old vma passed in to the vm_area_dup() function
isn't even used yet (because I've left all the old manual initialization
alone).

[ Upstream commit 1e8e18f694a52d703665012ca486826f64bac29d ]

There is a special case that the size is "(N &lt;&lt; KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT)
Pages plus X", the value of X is [1, KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE-1].  The
operation "size &gt;&gt; KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT" will drop X, and the
roundup operation can not retrieve the missed one page.  For example:
size=0x28006, PAGE_SIZE=0x1000, KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT=3, we will get
shadow_size=0x5000, but actually we need 6 pages.

  shadow_size = round_up(size &gt;&gt; KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT, PAGE_SIZE);

This can lead to a kernel crash when kasan is enabled and the value of
mod-&gt;core_layout.size or mod-&gt;init_layout.size is like above.  Because
the shadow memory of X has not been allocated and mapped.

move_module:
  ptr = module_alloc(mod-&gt;core_layout.size);
  ...
  memset(ptr, 0, mod-&gt;core_layout.size);		//crashed

<title>x86/speculation/l1tf: Limit swap file size to MAX_PA/2</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 377eeaa8e11fe815b1d07c81c4a0e2843a8c15eb upstream

For the L1TF workaround its necessary to limit the swap file size to below
MAX_PA/2, so that the higher bits of the swap offset inverted never point
to valid memory.

Add a mechanism for the architecture to override the swap file size check
in swapfile.c and add a x86 specific max swapfile check function that
enforces that limit.

The check is only enabled if the CPU is vulnerable to L1TF.

In VMs with 42bit MAX_PA the typical limit is 2TB now, on a native system
with 46bit PA it is 32TB. The limit is only per individual swap file, so
it's always possible to exceed these limits with multiple swap files or
partitions.

<title>x86/speculation/l1tf: Disallow non privileged high MMIO PROT_NONE mappings</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4880e94df0dc52f8d360293f3f4411348d9970f6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 42e4089c7890725fcd329999252dc489b72f2921 upstream

For L1TF PROT_NONE mappings are protected by inverting the PFN in the page
table entry. This sets the high bits in the CPU's address space, thus
making sure to point to not point an unmapped entry to valid cached memory.

Some server system BIOSes put the MMIO mappings high up in the physical
address space. If such an high mapping was mapped to unprivileged users
they could attack low memory by setting such a mapping to PROT_NONE. This
could happen through a special device driver which is not access
protected. Normal /dev/mem is of course access protected.

To avoid this forbid PROT_NONE mappings or mprotect for high MMIO mappings.

Valid page mappings are allowed because the system is then unsafe anyways.

It's not expected that users commonly use PROT_NONE on MMIO. But to
minimize any impact this is only enforced if the mapping actually refers to
a high MMIO address (defined as the MAX_PA-1 bit being set), and also skip
the check for root.

For mmaps this is straight forward and can be handled in vm_insert_pfn and
in remap_pfn_range().

For mprotect it's a bit trickier. At the point where the actual PTEs are
accessed a lot of state has been changed and it would be difficult to undo
on an error. Since this is a uncommon case use a separate early page talk
walk pass for MMIO PROT_NONE mappings that checks for this condition
early. For non MMIO and non PROT_NONE there are no changes.

commit eec3636ad198d4ac61e574cb122cb67e9bef5492 upstream.

Commit 05ea88608d4e ("mm, hugetlbfs: introduce -&gt;pagesize() to
vm_operations_struct") adds a new -&gt;pagesize() function to
hugetlb_vm_ops, intended to cover all hugetlbfs backed files.

With System V shared memory model, if "huge page" is specified, the
"shared memory" is backed by hugetlbfs files, but the mappings initiated
via shmget/shmat have their original vm_ops overwritten with shm_vm_ops,
so we need to add a -&gt;pagesize function to shm_vm_ops.  Otherwise,
vma_kernel_pagesize() returns PAGE_SIZE given a hugetlbfs backed vma,
result in below BUG:

  fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c
        443             if (unlikely(page_mapped(page))) {
        444                     BUG_ON(truncate_op);

Currently, __vunmap flow is,
 1) Release the VM area
 2) Free the debug objects corresponding to that vm area.

This leave some race window open.
 1) Release the VM area
 1.5) Some other client gets the same vm area
 1.6) This client allocates new debug objects on the same
      vm area
 2) Free the debug objects corresponding to this vm area.

Here, we actually free 'other' client's debug objects.

Fix this by freeing the debug objects first and then releasing the VM
area.
