Arnd Bergmann reported the following warning with GCC 7.1.1: fs/fs_pin.o: warning: objtool: pin_kill()+0x139: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+88 cfa2=7+96 And the kbuild robot reported the following warnings with GCC 5.4.1: fs/fs_pin.o: warning: objtool: pin_kill()+0x182: return with modified stack frame fs/quota/dquot.o: warning: objtool: dquot_alloc_inode()+0x140: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+120 cfa2=7+128 fs/quota/dquot.o: warning: objtool: dquot_free_inode()+0x11a: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+112 cfa2=7+120 Those warnings are caused by an unusual GCC non-optimization where it uses an intermediate register to adjust the stack pointer. It does: lea 0x8(%rsp), %rcx ... mov %rcx, %rsp Instead of the obvious: add $0x8, %rsp It makes no sense to use an intermediate register, so I opened a GCC bug to track it: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81813 But it's not exactly a high-priority bug and it looks like we'll be stuck with this issue for a while. So for now we have to track register values when they're loaded with stack pointer offsets. This is kind of a big workaround for a tiny problem, but c'est la vie. I hope to eventually create a GCC plugin to implement a big chunk of objtool's functionality. Hopefully at that point we'll be able to remove of a lot of these GCC-isms from the objtool code.

ALIGN+GLOBAL is effectively what ENTRY() does, so use ENTRY() which is dedicated for exactly this purpose -- global functions. Note that stub32_clone() is a C-like leaf function -- it has a standard call frame -- it only switches one argument and continues by jumping into C. Since each ENTRY() should be balanced by some END*() marker, we add a corresponding ENDPROC() to stub32_clone() too. Besides that, x86's custom GLOBAL macro is going to die very soon.

Functions in math-emu are annotated as ENTRY() symbols, but their ends are not annotated at all. But these are standard functions called from C, with proper stack register update etc. Omitting the ends means: * the annotations are not paired and we cannot deal with such functions e.g. in objtool * the symbols are not marked as functions in the object file * there are no sizes of the functions in the object file So fix this by adding ENDPROC() to each such case in math-emu.

Similarly to the 32-bit code, efi_pe_entry body() is somehow squashed into startup_64(). In the old days, we forced startup_64() to start at offset 0x200 and efi_pe_entry() to start at 0x210. But this requirement was removed long time ago, in: 99f857db ("x86, build: Dynamically find entry points in compressed startup code") The way it is now makes the code less readable and illogical. Given we can now safely extract the inlined efi_pe_entry() body from startup_64() into a separate function, we do so. We also annotate the function appropriatelly by ENTRY+ENDPROC.

Xen's paravirt patch function xen_patch() does some special casing for irq_ops functions to apply relocations when those functions can be patched inline instead of calls. Unfortunately none of the special case function replacements is small enough to be patched inline, so the special case never applies. As xen_patch() will call paravirt_patch_default() in all cases it can be just dropped. xen-asm.h doesn't seem necessary without xen_patch() as the only thing left in it would be the definition of XEN_EFLAGS_NMI used only once. So move that definition and remove xen-asm.h.

When GCC adds NOP padding between functions, those NOPs aren't associated with a function symbol, which breaks objtool's detection of a function falling through to another function. Instead it shows confusing errors like: drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_util.o: warning: objtool: cfi_qry_mode_on()+0x8b: return with modified stack frame drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_util.o: warning: objtool: cfi_qry_mode_on()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=-4-32 cfa2=7+8 drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0002.o: warning: objtool: fixup_use_fwh_lock()+0x8: unknown stack-related register move drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0002.o: warning: objtool: fixup_use_fwh_lock()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=6+16 cfa2=7+8 drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0002.o: warning: objtool: do_otp_write()+0xa: unsupported stack pointer realignment drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0002.o: warning: objtool: do_otp_write()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=-4-40 cfa2=7+8 Reported-by: kbuild test robot <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/43e7aae9a7a7710cd6df597fa9dc501da4ba0602.1502472193.git.jpoimboe@redhat.comSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

When I cleaned up the Xen SYSCALL entries, I inadvertently changed the reported segment registers. Before my patch, regs->ss was __USER(32)_DS and regs->cs was __USER(32)_CS. After the patch, they are FLAT_USER_CS/DS(32). This had a couple unfortunate effects. It confused the opportunistic fast return logic. It also significantly increased the risk of triggering a nasty glibc bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21269 Update the Xen entry code to change it back.

When GCC realigns a function's stack, it sometimes uses %r13 as the DRAP register, like: push %r13 lea 0x10(%rsp), %r13 and $0xfffffffffffffff0, %rsp pushq -0x8(%r13) push %rbp mov %rsp, %rbp push %r13 ... mov -0x8(%rbp),%r13 leaveq lea -0x10(%r13), %rsp pop %r13 retq Since %r13 was pushed onto the stack twice, its two stack locations need to be stored separately. The first push of %r13 is its original value, and the second push of %r13 is the caller's stack frame address. Since %r13 is a callee-saved register, we need to track the stack location of its original value separately from the DRAP register.

Switching FS and GS is a mess, and the current code is still subtly wrong: it assumes that "Loading a nonzero value into FS sets the index and base", which is false on AMD CPUs if the value being loaded is 1, 2, or 3. (The current code came from commit 3e2b68d7 ("x86/asm, sched/x86: Rewrite the FS and GS context switch code"), which made it better but didn't fully fix it.) Rewrite it to be much simpler and more obviously correct. This should fix it fully on AMD CPUs and shouldn't adversely affect performance.

The security impact of this bug is small but not quite zero -- it could weaken ASLR when a privileged task execs a less privileged program, but only if program changed bitness across the exec, or the child binary was highly unusual or actively malicious.

Xen's raw SYSCALL entries are much less weird than native. Rather than fudging them to look like native entries, use the Xen-provided stack frame directly. This lets us eliminate entry_SYSCALL_64_after_swapgs and two uses of the SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK paravirt hook. The SYSENTER code would benefit from similar treatment. This makes one change to the native code path: the compat instruction that clears the high 32 bits of %rax is moved slightly later. I'd be surprised if this affects performance at all.

Pull pin control fixes from Linus Walleij: "These are the pin control fixes I have gathered since the return from my vacation. They boiled in -next a while so let's get them in. Apart from the documentation build it is purely driver fixes. Which is nice.

Commit 65d8fc77 ("futex: Remove requirement for lock_page() in get_futex_key()") removed an unnecessary lock_page() with the side-effect that page->mapping needed to be treated very carefully. Two defensive warnings were added in case any assumption was missed and the first warning assumed a correct application would not alter a mapping backing a futex key. Since merging, it has not triggered for any unexpected case but Mark Rutland reported the following bug triggering due to the first warning. kernel BUG at kernel/futex.c:679! Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 3695 Comm: syz-executor1 Not tainted 4.13.0-rc3-00020-g307fec773ba3 #3 Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) task: ffff80001e271780 task.stack: ffff000010908000 PC is at get_futex_key+0x6a4/0xcf0 kernel/futex.c:679 LR is at get_futex_key+0x6a4/0xcf0 kernel/futex.c:679 pc : [<ffff00000821ac14>] lr : [<ffff00000821ac14>] pstate: 80000145 The fact that it's a bug instead of a warning was due to an unrelated arm64 problem, but the warning itself triggered because the underlying mapping changed. This is an application issue but from a kernel perspective it's a recoverable situation and the warning is unnecessary so this patch removes the warning. The warning may potentially be triggered with the following test program from Mark although it may be necessary to adjust NR_FUTEX_THREADS to be a value smaller than the number of CPUs in the system. #include <linux/futex.h> #include <pthread.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <unistd.h> #define NR_FUTEX_THREADS 16 pthread_t threads[NR_FUTEX_THREADS]; void *mem; #define MEM_PROT (PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE) #define MEM_SIZE 65536 static int futex_wrapper(int *uaddr, int op, int val, const struct timespec *timeout, int *uaddr2, int val3) { syscall(SYS_futex, uaddr, op, val, timeout, uaddr2, val3); } void *poll_futex(void *unused) { for (;;) { futex_wrapper(mem, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI, 1, NULL, mem + 4, 1); } } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int i; mem = mmap(NULL, MEM_SIZE, MEM_PROT, MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); printf("Mapping @ %p\n", mem); printf("Creating futex threads...\n"); for (i = 0; i < NR_FUTEX_THREADS; i++) pthread_create(&threads[i], NULL, poll_futex, NULL); printf("Flipping mapping...\n"); for (;;) { mmap(mem, MEM_SIZE, MEM_PROT, MAP_FIXED | MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); } return 0; } Reported-and-tested-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.7+ Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

skb_warn_bad_offload triggers a warning when an skb enters the GSO stack at __skb_gso_segment that does not have CHECKSUM_PARTIAL checksum offload set. Commit b2504a5d ("net: reduce skb_warn_bad_offload() noise") observed that SKB_GSO_DODGY producers can trigger the check and that passing those packets through the GSO handlers will fix it up. But, the software UFO handler will set ip_summed to CHECKSUM_NONE. When __skb_gso_segment is called from the receive path, this triggers the warning again. Make UFO set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY instead of CHECKSUM_NONE. On Tx these two are equivalent. On Rx, this better matches the skb state (checksum computed), as CHECKSUM_NONE here means no checksum computed.

Commit e5dadc65 ("ppp: Fix false xmit recursion detect with two ppp devices") dropped the xmit_recursion counter incrementation in ppp_channel_push() and relied on ppp_xmit_process() for this task. But __ppp_channel_push() can also send packets directly (using the .start_xmit() channel callback), in which case the xmit_recursion counter isn't incremented anymore. If such packets get routed back to the parent ppp unit, ppp_xmit_process() won't notice the recursion and will call ppp_channel_push() on the same channel, effectively creating the deadlock situation that the xmit_recursion mechanism was supposed to prevent. This patch re-introduces the xmit_recursion counter incrementation in ppp_channel_push(). Since the xmit_recursion variable is now part of the parent ppp unit, incrementation is skipped if the channel doesn't have any. This is fine because only packets routed through the parent unit may enter the channel recursively. Finally, we have to ensure that pch->ppp is not going to be modified while executing ppp_channel_push(). Instead of taking this lock only while calling ppp_xmit_process(), we now have to hold it for the full ppp_channel_push() execution. This respects the ppp locks ordering which requires locking ->upl before ->downl.

In commit 7e3f2952 ("rds: don't let RDS shutdown a connection while senders are present"), refilling the receive queue was removed from rds_ib_recv(), along with the increment of s_ib_rx_refill_from_thread. Commit 73ce4317 ("RDS: make sure we post recv buffers") re-introduces filling the receive queue from rds_ib_recv(), but does not add the statistics counter. rds_ib_recv() was later renamed to rds_ib_recv_path(). This commit reintroduces the statistics counting of s_ib_rx_refill_from_thread and s_ib_rx_refill_from_cq.

Now xt_tgchk_param par in ipt_init_target is a local varibale, par.net is not initialized there. Later when xt_check_target calls target's checkentry in which it may access par.net, it would cause kernel panic. Jaroslav found this panic when running: # ip link add TestIface type dummy # tc qd add dev TestIface ingress handle ffff: # tc filter add dev TestIface parent ffff: u32 match u32 0 0 \ action xt -j CONNMARK --set-mark 4 This patch is to pass net param into ipt_init_target and set par.net with it properly in there. v1->v2: As Wang Cong pointed, I missed ipt_net_id != xt_net_id, so fix it by also passing net_id to __tcf_ipt_init. v2->v3: Missed the fixes tag, so add it.
