Right now, the kernel can only switch between 64-bit and 32-bit binaries at compile time. This patch adds support for 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels when we support ia32 emulation. We essentially choose which set of table sizes to use when doing arithmetic for the bounds table calculations. This also uses a different approach for calculating the table indexes than before. I think the new one makes it much more clear what is going on, and allows us to share more code between the 32-bit and 64-bit cases.

user_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() actually looks at sizeof(*ptr) to figure out how many bytes to copy. If we run it on a 64-bit kernel with a 64-bit pointer, it will copy a 64-bit bounds directory entry. That's fine, except when we have 32-bit programs with 32-bit bounds directory entries and we only *want* 32-bits. This patch breaks the cmpxchg() operation out in to its own function and performs the 32-bit type swizzling in there. Note, the "64-bit" version of this code _would_ work on a 32-bit-only kernel. The issue this patch addresses is only for when the kernel's 'long' is mismatched from the size of the bounds directory entry of the process we are working on. The new helper modifies 'actual_old_val' or returns an error. But gcc doesn't know this, so it warns about 'actual_old_val' being unused. Shut it up with an uninitialized_var().

Currently, to get from a bounds directory entry to the virtual address of a bounds table, we simply mask off a few low bits. However, the set of bits we mask off is different for 32-bit and 64-bit binaries. This breaks the operation out in to a helper function and also adds a temporary variable to store the result until we are sure we are returning one.

When we allocate a bounds table, we call mmap(), then add a "valid" bit to the value before storing it in to the bounds directory. If we fail along the way, we go and mask that valid bit _back_ out. That seems a little silly, and this makes it much more clear when we have a plain address versus an actual table _entry_.

The uprobes code has a nice helper, is_64bit_mm(), that consults both the runtime and compile-time flags for 32-bit support. Instead of reinventing the wheel, pull it in to an x86 header so we can use it for MPX. I prefer passing the 'mm' around to test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) because it makes it explicit where the context is coming from.

There are two different events being traced here. They are doing similar things so share a trace "EVENT_CLASS" and are presented together. 1. Trace when MPX is zapping pages "mpx_unmap_zap": When MPX can not free an entire bounds table, it will instead try to zap unused parts of a bounds table to free the backing memory. This decreases RSS (resident set size) without decreasing the virtual space allocated for bounds tables. 2. Trace attempts to find bounds tables "mpx_unmap_search": This event traces any time we go looking to unmap a bounds table for a given virtual address range. This is useful to ensure that the kernel actually "tried" to free a bounds table versus times it succeeded in finding one. It might try and fail if it realized that a table was shared with an adjacent VMA which is not being unmapped.

There are two basic things that can happen as the result of a bounds exception (#BR): 1. We allocate a new bounds table 2. We pass up a bounds exception to userspace. This patch adds a trace point for the case where we are passing the exception up to userspace with a signal. We are also explicit that we're printing out the inverse of the 'upper' that we encounter. If you want to filter, for instance, you need to ~ the value first. The reason we do this is because of how 'upper' is stored in the bounds table. If a pointer's range is: 0x1000 -> 0x2000 it is stored in the bounds table as (32-bits here for brevity): lower: 0x00001000 upper: 0xffffdfff That is so that an all 0's entry: lower: 0x00000000 upper: 0x00000000 corresponds to the "init" bounds which store a *range* of: 0x00000000 -> 0xffffffff That is, by far, the common case, and that lets us use the zero page, or deduplicate the memory, etc... The 'upper' stored in the table is gibberish to print by itself, so we print ~upper to get the *actual*, logical, human-readable value printed out.

This is the first in a series of MPX tracing patches. I've found these extremely useful in the process of debugging applications and the kernel code itself. This exception hooks in to the bounds (#BR) exception very early and allows capturing the key registers which would influence how the exception is handled. Note that bndcfgu/bndstatus are technically still 64-bit registers even in 32-bit mode.

MPX has the _potential_ to cause some issues. Say part of your init system tried to protect one of its components from buffer overflows with MPX. If there were a false positive, it's possible that MPX could keep a system from booting. MPX could also potentially cause performance issues since it is present in hot paths like the unmap path. Allow it to be disabled at boot time.

The MPX code can only work on the current task. You can not, for instance, enable MPX management in another process or thread. You can also not handle a fault for another process or thread. Despite this, we pass a task_struct around prolifically. This patch removes all of the task struct passing for code paths where the code can not deal with another task (which turns out to be all of them). This has no functional changes. It's just a cleanup.

The MPX registers (bndcsr/bndcfgu/bndstatus) are not directly accessible via normal instructions. They essentially act as if they were floating point registers and are saved/restored along with those registers. There are two main paths in the MPX code where we care about the contents of these registers: 1. #BR (bounds) faults 2. the prctl() code where we are setting MPX up Both of those paths _might_ be called without the FPU having been used. That means that 'tsk->thread.fpu.state' might never be allocated. Also, fpu_save_init() is not preempt-safe. It was a bug to call it without disabling preemption. The new get_xsave_addr() calls unlazy_fpu() instead and properly disables preemption.

The MPX code appears is calling a low-level FPU function (copy_fpregs_to_fpstate()). This function is not able to be called in all contexts, although it is safe to call directly in some cases. Although probably correct, the current code is ugly and potentially error-prone. So, add a wrapper that calls the (slightly) higher-level fpu__save() (which is preempt- safe) and also ensures that we even *have* an FPU context (in the case that this was called when in lazy FPU mode). Ingo had this to say about the details about when we need preemption disabled: > it's indeed generally unsafe to access/copy FPU registers with preemption enabled, > for two reasons: > > - on older systems that use FSAVE the instruction destroys FPU register > contents, which has to be handled carefully > > - even on newer systems if we copy to FPU registers (which this code doesn't) > then we don't want a context switch to occur in the middle of it, because a > context switch will write to the fpstate, potentially overwriting our new data > with old FPU state. > > But it's safe to access FPU registers with preemption enabled in a couple of > special cases: > > - potentially destructively saving FPU registers: the signal handling code does > this in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe(), because it can rely on the signal restore > side to restore the original FPU state. > > - reading FPU registers on modern systems: we don't do this anywhere at the > moment, mostly to keep symmetry with older systems where FSAVE is > destructive. > > - initializing FPU registers on modern systems: fpu__clear() does this.

get_xsave_addr() assumes that if an xsave bit is present in the hardware (pcntxt_mask) that it is present in a given xsave buffer. Due to an bug in the xsave code on all of the systems that have MPX (and thus all the users of this code), that has been a true assumption. But, the bug is getting fixed, so our assumption is not going to hold any more. It's quite possible (and normal) for an enabled state to be present on 'pcntxt_mask', but *not* in 'xstate_bv'. We need to consult 'xstate_bv'.

Currently fpu__activate_fpstate() is used for two distinct purposes: - read access by ptrace and core dumping, where in the core dumping case the current task's FPU state may be examined as well. - write access by ptrace, which modifies FPU registers and expects the modified registers to be reloaded on the next context switch. Split out the reading side into fpu__activate_fpstate_read(). ( Note that this is just a pure duplication of fpu__activate_fpstate() for the time being, we'll optimize the new function in the next patch. ) Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Bobby Powers <bobbypowers@gmail.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Cc: H.

Bobby Powers reported the following FPU warning during ELF coredumping: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 27452 at arch/x86/kernel/fpu/core.c:324 fpu__activate_stopped+0x8a/0xa0() This warning unearthed an invalid assumption about fpu__activate_stopped() that I added in: 67e97fc2 ("x86/fpu: Rename init_fpu() to fpu__unlazy_stopped() and add debugging check") the old init_fpu() function had an (intentional but obscure) side effect: when FPU registers are accessed for the current task, for reading, then it synchronized live in-register FPU state with the fpstate by saving it. So fix this bug by saving the FPU if we are the current task. We'll still warn in fpu__save() if this is called for not yet stopped child tasks, so the debugging check is still preserved. Also rename the function to fpu__activate_fpstate(), because it's not exclusively used for stopped tasks, but for the current task as well. ( Note that this bug calls for a cleaner separation of access-for-read and access-for-modification FPU methods, but we'll do that in separate patches. ) Reported-by: Bobby Powers <bobbypowers@gmail.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Cc: H.

The copy_xregs_to_kernel*() and copy_kernel_to_xregs*() functions are used to copy FPU registers to kernel memory and vice versa. They are never expected to fail, yet they have a return code, mostly because that way they can share the assembly macros with the copy*user*() functions. This error code is then silently ignored by the context switching and other code - which made the bug in: b8c1b8ea ("x86/fpu: Fix FPU state save area alignment bug") harder to fix than necessary. So remove the return values and check for no faults when FPU debugging is enabled in the .config. This improves the eagerfpu context switching fast path by a couple of instructions, when FPU debugging is disabled: ffffffff810407fa: 89 c2 mov %eax,%edx ffffffff810407fc: 48 0f ae 2f xrstor64 (%rdi) ffffffff81040800: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax -ffffffff81040802: eb 0a jmp ffffffff8104080e <__switch_to+0x321> +ffffffff81040802: eb 16 jmp ffffffff8104081a <__switch_to+0x32d> ffffffff81040804: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax ffffffff81040806: 48 0f ae 8b c0 05 00 fxrstor64 0x5c0(%rbx) ffffffff8104080d: 00 Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Cc: H.

There's a confusing aspect of how xstate_fault() constraints are handled by the FPU register/memory copying functions in fpu/internal.h: they use "0" (0) to signal that the asm code will not always set 'err' to a valid value. But 'err' is already initialized to 0 in C code, which is duplicated by the asm() constraint. Should the initialization value ever be changed, it might become subtly inconsistent with the not too clear asm() constraint. Use 'err' as the value of the input variable instead, to clarify this all.

There are two problems with xstate_fault handling: - The xstate_fault() macro takes an argument, but that's propagated into the assembly named label as well. This is technically correct currently but might result in failures if anytime a more complex argument is used. So use a separate '_err' name instead for the label. - All the xstate_fault() using functions have an error variable named 'err', which is an output variable to the asm() they are using. The problem is, it's not always set by the asm(), in which case the compiler might optimize out its initialization, so that the C variable 'err' might become corrupted after the asm() - confusing anyone who tries to take advantage of this variable after the asm(). Mark it an input variable as well. This is a latent bug currently, but an upcoming debug patch will make use of 'err'.

So the xstate code was probably first copied from the fxregs code, hence it carried over the 'fx' naming for the state pointer variable. But this is slightly confusing, as we usually on call the (legacy) MMX/SSE state 'fx', both in data structures and in the functions build around FXSAVE/FXRSTOR. So rename it to 'xstate' to make it more apparent what it is related to.

All the other register<-> memory copying functions are defined in fpu/internal.h, so move the xstate variants there too. Beyond being more consistent, this also allows FPU debugging checks to be added to them. (Because they can now use the macros defined in fpu/internal.h.)

On most configs task-struct is cache line aligned, which makes the XSAVE area's 64-byte required alignment work out fine. But on some .config's task_struct is aligned only to 16 bytes (enforced by ARCH_MIN_TASKALIGN), which makes things like fpu__copy() (that XSAVEOPT uses) not work so well. I broke this in: 7366ed77 ("x86/fpu: Simplify FPU handling by embedding the fpstate in task_struct (again)") which embedded the fpstate in the task_struct. The alignment requirements of the FPU code were originally present in ARCH_MIN_TASKALIGN, which still has a value of 16, which was the alignment requirement of the FPU state area prior XSAVE. But this link was not documented (and not required) and the link got lost when the FPU state area was made dynamic years ago. With XSAVEOPT the minimum alignment requirment went up to 64 bytes, and the embedding of the FPU state area in task_struct exposed it again - and '16' was not increased to '64'. So fix this bug, but also try to address the underlying lost link of information that made it easier to happen: - document ARCH_MIN_TASKALIGN a bit better - use alignof() to recover the current alignment requirements. This would work in the future as well, should the alignment requirements go up to 128 bytes with things like AVX512. ( We should probably also use the vSMP alignment rules for all of x86, but that's for another patch. ) Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Cc: H.
