      MIPS: Fix possible corruption of cache mode by mprotect. · 6d037de9
      Ralf Baechle authored 
      The following testcase may result in a page table entries with a invalid
CCA field being generated:

static void *bindstack;

static int sysrqfd;

static void protect_low(int protect)
{
	mprotect(bindstack, BINDSTACK_SIZE, protect);
}

static void sigbus_handler(int signal, siginfo_t * info, void *context)
{
	void *addr = info->si_addr;

	write(sysrqfd, "x", 1);

	printf("sigbus, fault address %p (should not happen, but might)\n",
	       addr);
	abort();
}

static void run_bind_test(void)
{
	unsigned int *p = bindstack;

	p[0] = 0xf001f001;

	write(sysrqfd, "x", 1);

	/* Set trap on access to p[0] */
	protect_low(PROT_NONE);

	write(sysrqfd, "x", 1);

	/* Clear trap on access to p[0] */
	protect_low(PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC);

	write(sysrqfd, "x", 1);

	/* Check the contents of p[0] */
	if (p[0] != 0xf001f001) {
		write(sysrqfd, "x", 1);

		/* Reached, but shouldn't be */
		printf("badness, shouldn't happen but does\n");
		abort();
	}
}

int main(void)
{
	struct sigaction sa;

	sysrqfd = open("/proc/sysrq-trigger", O_WRONLY);

	if (sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, &sa.sa_mask)) {
		perror("sigprocmask");
		return 0;
	}

	sa.sa_sigaction = sigbus_handler;
	sa.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO | SA_NODEFER | SA_RESTART;
	if (sigaction(SIGBUS, &sa, NULL)) {
		perror("sigaction");
		return 0;
	}

	bindstack = mmap(NULL,
			 BINDSTACK_SIZE,
			 PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC,
			 MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
	if (bindstack == MAP_FAILED) {
		perror("mmap bindstack");
		return 0;
	}

	printf("bindstack: %p\n", bindstack);

	run_bind_test();

	printf("done\n");

	return 0;
}

There are multiple ingredients for this:

 1) PAGE_NONE is defined to _CACHE_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT, which is CCA 3
    on all platforms except SB1 where it's CCA 5.
 2) _page_cachable_default must have bits set which are not set
    _CACHE_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT.
 3) Either the defective version of pte_modify for XPA or the standard
    version must be in used.  However pte_modify for the 36 bit address
    space support is no affected.

In that case additional bits in the final CCA mode may generate an invalid
value for the CCA field.  On the R10000 system where this was tracked
down for example a CCA 7 has been observed, which is Uncached Accelerated.

Fixed by:

 1) Using the proper CCA mode for PAGE_NONE just like for all the other
    PAGE_* pte/pmd bits.
 2) Fix the two affected variants of pte_modify.

Further code inspection also shows the same issue to exist in pmd_modify
which would affect huge page systems.

Issue in pte_modify tracked down by Alastair Bridgewater, PAGE_NONE
and pmd_modify issue found by me.

The history of this goes back beyond Linus' git history.  Chris Dearman's
commit 35133692 ("[MIPS] Allow setting of
the cache attribute at run time.") missed the opportunity to fix this
but it was originally introduced in lmo commit
d523832cf12007b3242e50bb77d0c9e63e0b6518 ("Missing from last commit.")
and 32cc38229ac7538f2346918a09e75413e8861f87 ("New configuration option
CONFIG_MIPS_UNCACHED.")

      Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Three cpufreq fixes, one in the core (stable-candidate) and two in

  Specifics:

   - Fix a recent intel_pstate regression that caused the number of

     due to excessive synchronize_sched() invocations (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix unnecessary invocations of WARN_ON() in the cpufreq core after
     cpufreq has been suspended introduced during the 4.6 cycla (Rafael
     Wysocki).

   - Fix an error code path in the cpufreq-dt-platdev driver that
     forgets to drop a reference to a DT node (Masahiro Yamada)"

      Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "1/ Two regression fixes since v4.6: one for the byte order of a sysfs
     attribute (bz121161) and another for QEMU 2.6's NVDIMM _DSM (ACPI
     Device Specific Method) implementation that gets tripped up by new
     auto-probing behavior in the NFIT driver.

  2/ A fix tagged for -stable that stops the kernel from
     clobbering/ignoring changes to the configuration of a 'pfn'
     instance ("struct page" driver).  For example changing the
     alignment from 2M to 1G may silently revert to 2M if that value is
     currently stored on media.

  3/ A fix from Eric for an xfstests failure in dax.  It is not
     currently tagged for -stable since it requires an 8-exabyte file
     system to trigger, and there appear to be no user visible side
     effects"
