Switch to using relative exception table entries on x86. On i386, this has the advantage that the exception table entries don't need to be relocated; on x86-64 this means the exception table entries take up only half the space. In either case, a 32-bit delta is sufficient, as the range of kernel code addresses is limited. Since part of the goal is to avoid needing to adjust the entries when the kernel is relocated, the old trick of using addresses in the NULL pointer range to indicate uaccess_err no longer works (and unlike RISC architectures we can't use a flag bit); instead use an delta just below +2G to indicate these special entries. The reach is still limited to a single instruction. Signed-off-by: H.

H. Peter Anvin authored
If we get an exception during early boot, walk the exception table to see if we should intercept it. The main use case for this is to allow rdmsr_safe()/wrmsr_safe() during CPU initialization. Since the exception table is currently sorted at runtime, and fairly late in startup, this code walks the exception table linearly. We obviously don't need to worry about modules, however: none have been loaded at this point. This patch changes the early IDT setup to look a lot more like x86-64: we now install handlers for all 32 exception vectors. The output of the early exception handler has changed somewhat as it directly reflects the stack frame of the exception handler, and the stack frame has been somewhat restructured. Finally, centralize the code that can and should be run only once. [ v2: Use early_fixup_exception() instead of linear search ] Signed-off-by: H.

GET_CR2_INTO_RCX is asinine: it is only used in one place, the actual paravirt call returns the value in %rax, not %rcx; and the one place that wants it wants the result in %r9. We actually generate as a result of this call: call ... movq %rax, %rcx xorq %rax, %rax /* this value isn't even used... */ movq %rcx, %r9 At least make the macro do what the paravirt call does, which is put the value into %rax. Nevermind the fact that the macro clobbers all the volatile registers. Signed-off-by: H.

The 'max' range needs to be unsigned, since the size of the user address space is bigger than 2GB. We know that 'count' is positive in 'long' (that is checked in the caller), so we will truncate 'max' down to something that fits in a signed long, but before we actually do that, that comparison needs to be done in unsigned. Bug introduced in commit 92ae03f2 ("x86: merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up"). On x86-64 you can't trigger this, since the user address space is much smaller than 63 bits, and on x86-32 it works in practice, since you would seldom hit the strncpy limits anyway. I had actually tested the corner-cases, I had only tested them on x86-64. Besides, I had only worried about the case of a pointer *close* to the end of the address space, rather than really far away from it ;) This also changes the "we hit the user-specified maximum" to return 'res', for the trivial reason that gcc seems to generate better code that way. 'res' and 'count' are the same in that case, so it really doesn't matter which one we return. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Currently when ThumbEE is not enabled (!CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE) the ThumbEE register states are not saved/restored at context switch. The default state of the ThumbEE Ctrl register (TEECR) allows userspace accesses to the ThumbEE Base Handler register (TEEHBR). This can cause unexpected behaviour when people use ThumbEE on !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE kernels, as well as allowing covert communication - eg between userspace tasks running inside chroot jails. This patch sets up TEECR in order to prevent user-space access to TEEHBR when !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE. In this case, tasks are sent SIGILL if they try to access TEEHBR.

During booting of cpu1, there is a short window where cpu1 is online, but not active where cpu1 is occupied by waiting to become active. If cpu0 then decides to schedule something on cpu1 and wait for it to complete, before cpu0 has set cpu1 active, we have a deadlock. Typically it's this CPU frequency transition that happens at this time, so let's just not wait for it to happen, it will happen whenever the CPU eventually comes online instead.
