cpu_current_top_of_stack is currently stored in TSS.sp1. TSS is exposed
through the cpu_entry_area which is visible with user CR3 when PTI is
enabled and active.
This makes it a coveted fruit for attackers. An attacker can fetch the
kernel stack top from it and continue next steps of actions based on the
kernel stack.
But it is actualy not necessary to be stored in the TSS. It is only
accessed after the entry code switched to kernel CR3 and kernel GS_BASE
which means it can be in any regular percpu variable.
The reason why it is in TSS is historical (pre PTI) because TSS is also
used as scratch space in SYSCALL_64 and therefore cache hot.
A syscall also needs the per CPU variable current_task and eventually
__preempt_count, so placing cpu_current_top_of_stack next to them makes it
likely that they end up in the same cache line which should avoid
performance regressions. This is not enforced as the compiler is free to
place these variables, so these entry relevant variables should move into
a data structure to make this enforceable.
The seccomp_benchmark doesn't show any performance loss in the "getpid
native" test result. Actually, the result changes from 93ns before to 92ns
with this change when KPTI is disabled. The test is very stable and
although the test doesn't show a higher degree of precision it gives enough
confidence that moving cpu_current_top_of_stack does not cause a
regression.

While looking at the TSS io bitmap it turned out that any change in that
area would require identical changes to copy_thread_tls(). The 32 and 64
bit variants share sufficient code to consolidate them into a common
function to avoid duplication of upcoming modifications.

Effectively reverts commit:
2c7577a75837 ("sched/x86_64: Don't save flags on context switch")
Specifically because SMAP uses FLAGS.AC which invalidates the claim
that the kernel has clean flags.
In particular; while preemption from interrupt return is fine (the
IRET frame on the exception stack contains FLAGS) it breaks any code
that does synchonous scheduling, including preempt_enable().
This has become a significant issue ever since commit:
5b24a7a2aa20 ("Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accesses")
provided for means of having 'normal' C code between STAC / CLAC,
exposing the FLAGS.AC state. So far this hasn't led to trouble,
however fix it before it comes apart.

Move the conditional invocation of __switch_to_xtra() into an inline
function so the logic can be shared between 32 and 64 bit.
Remove the handthrough of the TSS pointer and retrieve the pointer directly
in the bitmap handling function. Use this_cpu_ptr() instead of the
per_cpu() indirection.
This is a preparatory change so integration of conditional indirect branch
speculation optimization happens only in one place.

The function does not update sp0 anymore but updates makes the task-stack
visible for entry code. This is by either writing it to sp1 or by doing a

The TSS is a fairly juicy target for exploits, and, now that the TSS
is in the cpu_entry_area, it's no longer protected by kASLR. Make it
read-only on x86_64.
On x86_32, it can't be RO because it's written by the CPU during task
switches, and we use a task gate for double faults. I'd also be
nervous about errata if we tried to make it RO even on configurations
without double fault handling.
[ tglx: AMD confirmed that there is no problem on 64-bit with TSS RO. So
it's probably safe to assume that it's a non issue, though Intel
might have been creative in that area. Still waiting for
confirmation. ]

Historically, IDT entries from usermode have always gone directly
to the running task's kernel stack. Rearrange it so that we enter on
a per-CPU trampoline stack and then manually switch to the task's stack.
This touches a couple of extra cachelines, but it gives us a chance
to run some code before we touch the kernel stack.
The asm isn't exactly beautiful, but I think that fully refactoring
it can wait.

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 & 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 >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <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.

On x86_64, we can easily calculate sp0 when needed instead of
storing it in thread_struct.
On x86_32, a similar cleanup would be possible, but it would require
cleaning up the vm86 code first, and that can wait for a later
cleanup series.

This causes the MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_CS write to move out of the
paravirt callback. This shouldn't affect Xen PV: Xen already ignores
MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP writes. In any event, Xen doesn't support
vm86() in a useful way.
Note to any potential backporters: This patch won't break lguest, as
lguest didn't have any SYSENTER support at all.

In the following commit:
0100301bfdf5 ("sched/x86: Rewrite the switch_to() code")
... the layout of the 'inactive_task_frame' struct was designed to have
a frame pointer header embedded in it, so that the unwinder could use
the 'bp' and 'ret_addr' fields to report __schedule() on the stack (or
ret_from_fork() for newly forked tasks which haven't actually run yet).
Finish the job by changing get_frame_pointer() to return a pointer to
inactive_task_frame's 'bp' field rather than 'bp' itself. This allows
the unwinder to start one frame higher on the stack, so that it properly
reports __schedule().

Instead of setting up a fake pt_regs context, put the kernel thread
function pointer and arg into the unused callee-restored registers
of 'struct fork_frame'.

Move the low-level context switch code to an out-of-line asm stub instead of
using complex inline asm. This allows constructing a new stack frame for the
child process to make it seamlessly flow to ret_from_fork without an extra
test and branch in __switch_to(). It also improves code generation for
__schedule() by using the C calling convention instead of clobbering all
registers.

task stack frame
Add 'struct inactive_task_frame', which defines the layout of the stack for
a sleeping process. For now, the only defined field is the BP register
(frame pointer).

This allows x86_64 kernels to enable vmapped stacks by setting
HAVE_ARCH_VMAP_STACK=y - which enables the CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y
high level Kconfig option.
There are a couple of interesting bits:
First, x86 lazily faults in top-level paging entries for the vmalloc
area. This won't work if we get a page fault while trying to access
the stack: the CPU will promote it to a double-fault and we'll die.
To avoid this problem, probe the new stack when switching stacks and
forcibly populate the pgd entry for the stack when switching mms.
Second, once we have guard pages around the stack, we'll want to
detect and handle stack overflow.
I didn't enable it on x86_32. We'd need to rework the double-fault
code a bit and I'm concerned about running out of vmalloc virtual
addresses under some workloads.
This patch, by itself, will behave somewhat erratically when the
stack overflows while RSP is still more than a few tens of bytes
above the bottom of the stack. Specifically, we'll get #PF and make
it to no_context and them oops without reliably triggering a
double-fault, and no_context doesn't know about stack overflows.
The next patch will improve that case.
Thank you to Nadav and Brian for helping me pay enough attention to
the SDM to hopefully get this right.

Now that NT is filtered by the SYSENTER entry code, it is safe to skip saving and
restoring flags on task switch. Also remove a leftover reset of flags on 64-bit
fork.

This reinstates the following commit:
2c7577a75837 ("sched/x86_64: Don't save flags on context switch")
which was reverted in:
512255a2ad2c ("Revert 'sched/x86_64: Don't save flags on context switch'")
Historically, Linux has always saved and restored EFLAGS across
context switches. As far as I know, the only reason to do this
is because of the NT flag. In particular, if something calls
switch_to() with the NT flag set, then we don't want to leak the
NT flag into a different task that might try to IRET and fail
because NT is set.
Before this commit:
8c7aa698baca ("x86_64, entry: Filter RFLAGS.NT on entry from userspace")
we could run system call bodies with NT set. This would be a DoS or possibly
privilege escalation hole if scheduling in such a system call would leak
NT into a different task.
Importantly, we don't need to worry about NT being set while
preemptible or across page faults. The only way we can schedule
due to preemption or a page fault is in an interrupt entry that
nests inside the SYSENTER prologue. The CPU will clear NT when
entering through an interrupt gate, so we won't schedule with NT
set.
The only other interesting flags are IOPL and AC. Allowing
switch_to() to change IOPL has no effect, as the value loaded
during kernel execution doesn't matter at all except between a
SYSENTER entry and the subsequent PUSHF, and anythign that
interrupts in that window will restore IOPL on return.
If we call __switch_to() with AC set, we have bigger problems.

This reverts commit:
2c7577a75837 ("sched/x86_64: Don't save flags on context switch")
It was a nice speedup. It's also not quite correct: SYSENTER
enables interrupts too early.
We can re-add this optimization once the SYSENTER code is beaten
into shape, which should happen in 4.3 or 4.4.
