Patch series "kasan: detect invalid frees".
KASAN detects double-frees, but does not detect invalid-frees (when a
pointer into a middle of heap object is passed to free). We recently had
a very unpleasant case in crypto code which freed an inner object inside
of a heap allocation. This left unnoticed during free, but totally
corrupted heap and later lead to a bunch of random crashes all over kernel
code.
Detect invalid frees.
This patch (of 5):
Detect frees of pointers into middle of large heap objects.
I dropped const from kasan_kfree_large() because it starts propagating
through a bunch of functions in kasan_report.c, slab/slub nearest_obj(),
all of their local variables, fixup_red_left(), etc.

As a code-size optimization, LLVM builds since r279383 may bulk-manipulate
the shadow region when (un)poisoning large memory blocks. This requires
new callbacks that simply do an uninstrumented memset().
This fixes linking the Clang-built kernel when using KASAN.

clang's AddressSanitizer implementation adds redzones on either side of
alloca()ed buffers. These redzones are 32-byte aligned and at least 32
bytes long.
__asan_alloca_poison() is passed the size and address of the allocated
buffer, *excluding* the redzones on either side. The left redzone will
always be to the immediate left of this buffer; but AddressSanitizer may
need to add padding between the end of the buffer and the right redzone.
If there are any 8-byte chunks inside this padding, we should poison
those too.
__asan_allocas_unpoison() is just passed the top and bottom of the dynamic
stack area, so unpoisoning is simpler.

LLVM doesn't understand GCC-style paramters ("--param asan-foo=bar"), thus
we currently we don't use inline/globals/stack instrumentation when
building the kernel with clang.
Add support for LLVM-style parameters ("-mllvm -asan-foo=bar") to enable
all KASAN features.

Patch series "kasan: support alloca, LLVM", v4.
This patch (of 5):
For now we can hard-code ASAN ABI level 5, since historical clang builds
can't build the kernel anyway. We also need to emulate gcc's
__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ flag, or memset() calls won't be instrumented.

With KASAN enabled the kernel has two different memset() functions, one
with KASAN checks (memset) and one without (__memset). KASAN uses some
macro tricks to use the proper version where required. For example
memset() calls in mm/slub.c are without KASAN checks, since they operate
on poisoned slab object metadata.
The issue is that clang emits memset() calls even when there is no
memset() in the source code. They get linked with improper memset()
implementation and the kernel fails to boot due to a huge amount of KASAN
reports during early boot stages.
The solution is to add -fno-builtin flag for files with KASAN_SANITIZE :=
n marker.

"As promised, here's a (much smaller) second pull request for the
second week of the merge cycle. This time around we have a couple
patches shutting off unsupported fs configurations, and a couple of
cleanups.
Last, we turn off EXPERIMENTAL for the reverse mapping btree, since
the primary downstream user of that information (online fsck) is now
upstream and I haven't seen any major failures in a few kernel
releases.
Summary:
- Print scrub build status in the xfs build info.
- Explicitly call out the remaining two scenarios where we don't
support reflink and never have.
- Remove EXPERIMENTAL tag from reverse mapping btree!"

A re-factoring patch in NFS export series has passed the wrong argument
to ovl_get_inode() causing a regression in the very recent fix to
fsnotify of overlay merge dir.
The regression has caused merge directory inodes to be hashed by upper
instead of lower real inode, when NFS export and directory indexing is
disabled. That caused an inotify watch to become obsolete after directory
copy up and drop caches.
LTP test inotify07 was improved to catch this regression.
The regression also caused multiple redirect dirs to same origin not to
be detected on lookup with NFS export disabled. An xfstest was added to
cover this case.

- Array index speculation blocker and its usage for syscall,
fdtable and the n180211 driver.
- Speculation barrier and its usage in user access functions
- Make indirect calls in KVM speculation safe
- Blacklisting of known to be broken microcodes so IPBP/IBSR are not
touched.
- The initial IBPB support and its usage in context switch
- The exposure of the new speculation MSRs to KVM guests.
- A fix for a regression in x86/32 related to the cpu entry area
- Proper whitelisting for known to be safe CPUs from the mitigations.
- objtool fixes to deal proper with retpolines and alternatives
- Exclude __init functions from retpolines which speeds up the boot
process.
- Removal of the syscall64 fast path and related cleanups and
simplifications
- Removal of the unpatched paravirt mode which is yet another source
of indirect unproteced calls.
- A new and undisputed version of the module mismatch warning
- A couple of cleanup and correctness fixes all over the place

Update the binding documentation for APCS to mention that the APCS
hardware block also expose a clock controller functionality.
The APCS clock controller is a mux and half-integer divider. It has the
main CPU PLL as an input and provides the clock for the application CPU.

Pull hardened usercopy whitelisting from Kees Cook:
"Currently, hardened usercopy performs dynamic bounds checking on slab
cache objects. This is good, but still leaves a lot of kernel memory
available to be copied to/from userspace in the face of bugs.
To further restrict what memory is available for copying, this creates
a way to whitelist specific areas of a given slab cache object for
copying to/from userspace, allowing much finer granularity of access
control.
Slab caches that are never exposed to userspace can declare no
whitelist for their objects, thereby keeping them unavailable to
userspace via dynamic copy operations. (Note, an implicit form of
whitelisting is the use of constant sizes in usercopy operations and
get_user()/put_user(); these bypass all hardened usercopy checks since
these sizes cannot change at runtime.)
This new check is WARN-by-default, so any mistakes can be found over
the next several releases without breaking anyone's system.
The series has roughly the following sections:
- remove %p and improve reporting with offset
- prepare infrastructure and whitelist kmalloc
- update VFS subsystem with whitelists
- update SCSI subsystem with whitelists
- update network subsystem with whitelists
- update process memory with whitelists
- update per-architecture thread_struct with whitelists
- update KVM with whitelists and fix ioctl bug
- mark all other allocations as not whitelisted

[ Based on a patch from Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com> ]
Add direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL for guests. This is needed for
guests that will only mitigate Spectre V2 through IBRS+IBPB and will not
be using a retpoline+IBPB based approach.
To avoid the overhead of saving and restoring the MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL for
guests that do not actually use the MSR, only start saving and restoring
when a non-zero is written to it.
No attempt is made to handle STIBP here, intentionally. Filtering STIBP
may be added in a future patch, which may require trapping all writes
if we don't want to pass it through directly to the guest.

The Indirect Branch Predictor Barrier (IBPB) is an indirect branch
control mechanism. It keeps earlier branches from influencing
later ones.
Unlike IBRS and STIBP, IBPB does not define a new mode of operation.
It's a command that ensures predicted branch targets aren't used after
the barrier. Although IBRS and IBPB are enumerated by the same CPUID
enumeration, IBPB is very different.
IBPB helps mitigate against three potential attacks:
* Mitigate guests from being attacked by other guests.
- This is addressed by issing IBPB when we do a guest switch.
* Mitigate attacks from guest/ring3->host/ring3.
These would require a IBPB during context switch in host, or after
VMEXIT. The host process has two ways to mitigate
- Either it can be compiled with retpoline
- If its going through context switch, and has set !dumpable then
there is a IBPB in that path.
(Tim's patch: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10192871)
- The case where after a VMEXIT you return back to Qemu might make
Qemu attackable from guest when Qemu isn't compiled with retpoline.
There are issues reported when doing IBPB on every VMEXIT that resulted
in some tsc calibration woes in guest.
* Mitigate guest/ring0->host/ring0 attacks.
When host kernel is using retpoline it is safe against these attacks.
If host kernel isn't using retpoline we might need to do a IBPB flush on
every VMEXIT.
Even when using retpoline for indirect calls, in certain conditions 'ret'
can use the BTB on Skylake-era CPUs. There are other mitigations
available like RSB stuffing/clearing.
* IBPB is issued only for SVM during svm_free_vcpu().
VMX has a vmclear and SVM doesn't. Follow discussion here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/1/15/146
Please refer to the following spec for more details on the enumeration
and control.
Refer here to get documentation about mitigations.

When pulling the recent pinctrl merge, I was surprised by how a
pinctrl-only pull request ended up rebuilding basically the whole
kernel.
The reason for that ended up being that <linux/device.h> included
<linux/pinctrl/devinfo.h>, so any change to that file ended up causing
pretty much every driver out there to be rebuilt.
The reason for that was because 'struct device' has this in it:
#ifdef CONFIG_PINCTRL
struct dev_pin_info *pins;
#endif
but we already avoid header includes for these kinds of things in that
header file, preferring to just use a forward-declaration of the
structure instead. Exactly to avoid this kind of header dependency.
Since some drivers seem to expect that <linux/pinctrl/devinfo.h> header
to come in automatically, move the include to <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h>
instead. It might be better to just make the includes more targeted,
but I'm not going to review every driver.
It would definitely be good to have a tool for finding and minimizing
header dependencies automatically - or at least help with them. Right
now we almost certainly end up having way too many of these things, and
it's hard to test every single configuration.
FWIW, you can get a sense of the "hotness" of a header file with something
like this after doing a full build:
find . -name '.*.o.cmd' -print0 |
xargs -0 tail --lines=+2 |
grep -v 'wildcard ' |
tr ' \\' '\n' |
sort | uniq -c | sort -n | less -S
which isn't exact (there are other things in those '*.o.cmd' than just
the dependencies, and the "--lines=+2" only removes the header), but
might a useful approximation.
With this patch, <linux/pinctrl/devinfo.h> drops to "only" having 833
users in the current x86-64 allmodconfig. In contrast, <linux/device.h>
has 14857 build files including it directly or indirectly.
Of course, the headers that absolutely _everybody_ includes (things like
<linux/types.h> etc) get a score of 23000+.

Currently, when booting a kernel with DMI support on a platform that has
no DMI tables, the following output is emitted into the kernel log:

...
[ 1.306659] dmi: Firmware registration failed.
...
[ 2.908681] dmi-sysfs: dmi entry is absent.
The first one is a pr_info(), but the subsequent ones are pr_err()s that
complain about a condition that is not really an error to begin with.
So let's clean this up, and give up silently if dma_available is not set.

The handling of empty DMI strings looks quite broken to me:
* Strings from 1 to 7 spaces are not considered empty.
* True empty DMI strings (string index set to 0) are not considered
empty, and result in allocating a 0-char string.
* Strings with invalid index also result in allocating a 0-char
string.
* Strings starting with 8 spaces are all considered empty, even if
non-space characters follow (sounds like a weird thing to do, but
I have actually seen occurrences of this in DMI tables before.)
* Strings which are considered empty are reported as 8 spaces,
instead of being actually empty.
Some of these issues are the result of an off-by-one error in memcmp,
the rest is incorrect by design.
So let's get it square: missing strings and strings made of only
spaces, regardless of their length, should be treated as empty and
no memory should be allocated for them. All other strings are
non-empty and should be allocated.

I don't think it makes sense to check for a possible bad
initialization order at run time on every system when it is all
decided at build time.
A more efficient way to make sure developers do not introduce new
calls to dmi_check_system() too early in the initialization sequence
is to simply document the expected call order. That way, developers
have a chance to get it right immediately, without having to
test-boot their kernel, wonder why it does not work, and parse the
kernel logs for a warning message. And we get rid of the run-time
performance penalty as a nice side effect.

Function dmi_matches can me made a bit faster:
* The documented purpose of dmi_initialized is to catch too early
calls to dmi_check_system(). I'm not fully convinced it justifies
slowing down the initialization of all systems out there, but at
least the check should not have been moved from dmi_check_system()
to dmi_matches(). dmi_matches() is being called for every entry of
the table passed to dmi_check_system(), causing the same redundant
check to be performed again and again. So move it back to
dmi_check_system(), reverting this specific portion of commit
d7b1956fed33 ("DMI: Introduce dmi_first_match to make the interface
more flexible").
* Don't check for the exact_match flag again when we already know its
value.
