The system reset interrupt handler locks AMR and exits with EXCEPTION_RESTORE_REGS without restoring AMR. Similarly to the soft-NMI handler, it needs to restore.

Hugh reported that his trusty G5 crashed after a few hours under load with an "Unrecoverable exception 380". The crash is in interrupt_return() where we check lazy_irq_pending(), which calls get_paca() and with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y that goes to check_preemption_disabled() via debug_smp_processor_id(). As Nick explained on the list: Problem is MSR[RI] is cleared here, ready to do the last few things for interrupt return where we're not allowed to take any other interrupts. SLB interrupts can happen just about anywhere aside from kernel text, global variables, and stack. When that hits, it appears to be unrecoverable due to RI=0. The problematic access is in preempt_count() which is: return READ_ONCE(current_thread_info()->preempt_count); Because of THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, current_thread_info() just points to current, so the access is to somewhere in kernel memory, but not on the stack or in .data, which means it can cause an SLB miss. If we take an SLB miss with RI=0 it is fatal. The easiest solution is to add a version of lazy_irq_pending() that doesn't do the preemption check and call it from the interrupt return path.

get/put_user() can be called with nontrivial arguments. fs/proc/page.c has a good example: if (put_user(stable_page_flags(ppage), out)) { stable_page_flags() is quite a lot of code, including spin locks in the page allocator. Ensure these arguments are evaluated before user access is allowed. This improves security by reducing code with access to userspace, but it also fixes a PREEMPT bug with KUAP on powerpc/64s: stable_page_flags() is currently called with AMR set to allow writes, it ends up calling spin_unlock(), which can call preempt_schedule. But the task switch code can not be called with AMR set (it relies on interrupts saving the register), so this blows up. It's fine if the code inside allow_user_access() is preemptible, because a timer or IPI will save the AMR, but it's not okay to explicitly cause a reschedule.

If {i,d}-cache-block-size is set and {i,d}-cache-line-size is not, use the block-size value for both. Per the devicetree spec cache-line-size is only needed if it differs from the block size. Originally the code would fallback from block size to line size. An error message was printed if both properties were missing. Later the code was refactored to use clearer names and logic but it inadvertently made line size a required property, meaning on systems without a line size property we fall back to the default from the cputable. On powernv (OPAL) platforms, since the introduction of device tree CPU features (5a61ef74 ("powerpc/64s: Support new device tree binding for discovering CPU features")), that has led to the wrong value being used, as the fallback value is incorrect for Power8/Power9 CPUs. The incorrect values flow through to the VDSO and also to the sysconf values, SC_LEVEL1_ICACHE_LINESIZE etc. Fixes: bd067f83 ("powerpc/64: Fix naming of cache block vs. cache line") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.11+ Signed-off-by: Chris Packham <chris.packham@alliedtelesis.co.nz> Reported-by: Qian Cai <cai@lca.pw> [mpe: Add even more detail to change log] Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200416221908.7886-1-chris.packham@alliedtelesis.co.nz

When remapping a mapping where a portion of a VMA is remapped into another portion of the VMA it can cause the VMA to become split. During the copy_vma operation the VMA can actually be remerged if it's an anonymous VMA whose pages have not yet been faulted. This isn't normally a problem because at the end of the remap the original portion is unmapped causing it to become split again. However, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP leaves that original portion in place which means that the VMA which was split and then remerged is not actually split at the end of the mremap. This patch fixes a bug where we don't detect that the VMAs got remerged and we end up putting back VM_ACCOUNT on the next mapping which is completely unreleated. When that next mapping is unmapped it results in incorrectly unaccounting for the memory which was never accounted, and eventually we will underflow on the memory comittment. There is also another issue which is similar, we're currently accouting for the number of pages in the new_vma but that's wrong. We need to account for the length of the remap operation as that's all that is being added. If there was a mapping already at that location its comittment would have been adjusted as part of the munmap at the start of the mremap. A really simple repro can be seen in: https://gist.github.com/bgaff/e101ce99da7d9a8c60acc641d07f312c Fixes: e346b381 ("mm/mremap: add MREMAP_DONTUNMAP to mremap()") Reported-by: syzbot <syzkaller@googlegroups.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Geffon <bgeffon@google.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
