"A set of EFI fixes:
- Don't return a garbage screen info when EFI framebuffer is not
available
- Make the early EFI console work properly with wider fonts instead
of drawing garbage
- Prevent a memory buffer leak in allocate_e820()
- Print the firmware error record properly so it can be decoded by
users
- Fix a symbol clash in the host tool build which only happens with
newer compilers.
- Add a missing check for the event log version of TPM which caused
boot failures on several Dell systems due to an attempt to decode

The srmmu_nocache_init() uses __nocache_fix() macro to add an offset to
page table entry to access srmmu_nocache_pool.
But since sparc32 has only three actual page table levels, pgd, p4d and
pud are essentially the same thing and pgd_offset() and p4d_offset() are
no-ops, the __nocache_fix() should be done only at PUD level.
Remove __nocache_fix() for p4d_offset() and pud_offset() and keep it
only for PUD and lower levels.

The kbuild test robot reported the following warning:
arch/sparc/mm/srmmu.c: In function 'srmmu_nocache_init': arch/sparc/mm/srmmu.c:300:9: error: variable 'pud' set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
300 | pud_t *pud;
This warning is caused by misprint in the page table traversal in
srmmu_nocache_init() function which accessed a PMD entry using PGD
rather than PUD.
Since sparc32 has only 3 page table levels, the PGD and PUD are
essentially the same and usage of __nocache_fix() removed the type
checking.
Use PUD for the consistency and to silence the compiler warning.

This is easily reproducible via CC=clang + CONFIG_STAGING=y +
CONFIG_VT6656=m.
It turns out that if your config tickles __builtin_constant_p via
differences in choices to inline or not, these statements produce
invalid assembly:
$ cat foo.c
long a(long b, long c) {
asm("orb %1, %0" : "+q"(c): "r"(b));
return c;
}
$ gcc foo.c
foo.c: Assembler messages:
foo.c:2: Error: `%rax' not allowed with `orb'
Use the `%b` "x86 Operand Modifier" to instead force register allocation
to select a lower-8-bit GPR operand.
The "q" constraint only has meaning on -m32 otherwise is treated as
"r". Not all GPRs have low-8-bit aliases for -m32.

Normally, show_trace_log_lvl() scans the stack, looking for text
addresses to print. In parallel, it unwinds the stack with
unwind_next_frame(). If the stack address matches the pointer returned
by unwind_get_return_address_ptr() for the current frame, the text
address is printed normally without a question mark. Otherwise it's
considered a breadcrumb (potentially from a previous call path) and it's
printed with a question mark to indicate that the address is unreliable
and typically can be ignored.
Since the following commit:
f1d9a2abff66 ("x86/unwind/orc: Don't skip the first frame for inactive tasks")
... for inactive tasks, show_trace_log_lvl() prints *only* unreliable
addresses (prepended with '?').
That happens because, for the first frame of an inactive task,
unwind_get_return_address_ptr() returns the wrong return address
pointer: one word *below* the task stack pointer. show_trace_log_lvl()
starts scanning at the stack pointer itself, so it never finds the first
'reliable' address, causing only guesses to being printed.
The first frame of an inactive task isn't a normal stack frame. It's
actually just an instance of 'struct inactive_task_frame' which is left
behind by __switch_to_asm(). Now that this inactive frame is actually
exposed to callers, fix unwind_get_return_address_ptr() to interpret it
properly.

The Intel kernel build robot recently pointed out that I missed the
register keyword on this one when I refactored the code to remove local
register variables (which aren't supported by LLVM). GCC's manual
indicates that global register variables must have the register keyword,
As far as I can tell lacking the register keyword causes GCC to ignore
the __asm__ and treat this as a regular variable, but I'm not sure how
that didn't show up as some sort of failure.

Several strange crashes have been eventually traced back to
STRICT_KERNEL_RWX and its interaction with code patching.
Various paths in our ftrace, kprobes and other patching code need to
be hardened against patching failures, otherwise we can end up running
with partially/incorrectly patched ftrace paths, kprobes or jump
labels, which can then cause strange crashes.
Although fixes for those are in development, they're not -rc material.
There also seem to be problems with the underlying strict RWX logic,
which needs further debugging.
So for now disable STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on 64-bit to prevent people from
enabling the option and tripping over the bugs.

This reverts commit 697ece78f8f749aeea40f2711389901f0974017a.
The implementation of SWAP on powerpc requires page protection
bits to not be one of the least significant PTE bits.
Until the SWAP implementation is changed and this requirement voids,
we have to keep at least _PAGE_RW outside of the 3 last bits.
For now, revert to previous PTE bits order. A further rework
may come later.

Quoth the man page:
```
If the tracee was restarted by PTRACE_SYSCALL or PTRACE_SYSEMU, the
tracee enters syscall-enter-stop just prior to entering any system
call (which will not be executed if the restart was using
PTRACE_SYSEMU, regardless of any change made to registers at this
point or how the tracee is restarted after this stop).
```
The parenthetical comment is currently true on x86 and powerpc,
but not currently true on arm64. arm64 re-checks the _TIF_SYSCALL_EMU
flag after the syscall entry ptrace stop. However, at this point,
it reflects which method was used to re-start the syscall
at the entry stop, rather than the method that was used to reach it.
Fix that by recording the original flag before performing the ptrace
stop, bringing the behavior in line with documentation and x86/powerpc.

With certain kernel configurations, the R_390_JMP_SLOT relocation type
might be generated, which is not expected by the KASLR relocation code,
and the kernel stops with the message "Unknown relocation type".
This was found with a zfcpdump kernel config, where CONFIG_MODULES=n
and CONFIG_VFIO=n. In that case, symbol_get() is used on undefined
__weak symbols in virt/kvm/vfio.c, which results in the generation
of R_390_JMP_SLOT relocation types.
Fix this by handling R_390_JMP_SLOT similar to R_390_GLOB_DAT.

On s390, the layout of normal and large ptes (i.e. pmds/puds) differs.
Therefore, set_huge_pte_at() does a conversion from a normal pte to
the corresponding large pmd/pud. So, when converting an empty pte, this
should result in an empty pmd/pud, which would return true for
pmd/pud_none().
However, after conversion we also mark the pmd/pud as large, and
therefore present. For empty ptes, this will result in an empty pmd/pud
that is also marked as large, and pmd/pud_none() would not return true.
There is currently no issue with this behaviour, as set_huge_pte_at()
does not seem to be called for empty ptes. It would be valid though, so
let's fix this by not marking empty ptes as large in set_huge_pte_at().
This was found by testing a patch from from Anshuman Khandual, which is
currently discussed on LKML ("mm/debug: Add more arch page table helper
tests").

Given the legacy bpf_probe_read{,str}() BPF helpers are broken on archs
with overlapping address ranges, we should really take the next step to
disable them from BPF use there.
To generally fix the situation, we've recently added new helper variants
bpf_probe_read_{user,kernel}() and bpf_probe_read_{user,kernel}_str().
For details on them, see 6ae08ae3dea2 ("bpf: Add probe_read_{user, kernel}
and probe_read_{user,kernel}_str helpers").
Given bpf_probe_read{,str}() have been around for ~5 years by now, there
are plenty of users at least on x86 still relying on them today, so we
cannot remove them entirely w/o breaking the BPF tracing ecosystem.
However, their use should be restricted to archs with non-overlapping
address ranges where they are working in their current form. Therefore,
move this behind a CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NON_OVERLAPPING_ADDRESS_SPACE and
have x86, arm64, arm select it (other archs supporting it can follow-up
on it as well).
For the remaining archs, they can workaround easily by relying on the
feature probe from bpftool which spills out defines that can be used out
of BPF C code to implement the drop-in replacement for old/new kernels
via: bpftool feature probe macro

... or the odyssey of trying to disable the stack protector for the
function which generates the stack canary value.
The whole story started with Sergei reporting a boot crash with a kernel
built with gcc-10:
Kernel panic — not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary
CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 5.6.0-rc5—00235—gfffb08b37df9 #139
Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. To be filled by O.E.M./H77M—D3H, BIOS F12 11/14/2013
Call Trace:
dump_stack
panic
? start_secondary
__stack_chk_fail
start_secondary
secondary_startup_64
-—-[ end Kernel panic — not syncing: stack—protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary
This happens because gcc-10 tail-call optimizes the last function call
in start_secondary() - cpu_startup_entry() - and thus emits a stack
canary check which fails because the canary value changes after the
boot_init_stack_canary() call.
To fix that, the initial attempt was to mark the one function which
generates the stack canary with:
__attribute__((optimize("-fno-stack-protector"))) ... start_secondary(void *unused)
however, using the optimize attribute doesn't work cumulatively
as the attribute does not add to but rather replaces previously
supplied optimization options - roughly all -fxxx options.
The key one among them being -fno-omit-frame-pointer and thus leading to
not present frame pointer - frame pointer which the kernel needs.
The next attempt to prevent compilers from tail-call optimizing
the last function call cpu_startup_entry(), shy of carving out
start_secondary() into a separate compilation unit and building it with
-fno-stack-protector, was to add an empty asm("").
This current solution was short and sweet, and reportedly, is supported
by both compilers but we didn't get very far this time: future (LTO?)
optimization passes could potentially eliminate this, which leads us
to the third attempt: having an actual memory barrier there which the
compiler cannot ignore or move around etc.
That should hold for a long time, but hey we said that about the other
two solutions too so...

The s390_mmio_read/write syscalls are currently broken when running with
MIO.
The new pcistb_mio/pcstg_mio/pcilg_mio instructions are executed
similiarly to normal load/store instructions and do address translation
in the current address space. That means inside the kernel they are
aware of mappings into kernel address space while outside the kernel
they use user space mappings (usually created through mmap'ing a PCI
device file).
Now when existing user space applications use the s390_pci_mmio_write
and s390_pci_mmio_read syscalls, they pass I/O addresses that are mapped
into user space so as to be usable with the new instructions without
needing a syscall. Accessing these addresses with the old instructions
as done currently leads to a kernel panic.
Also, for such a user space mapping there may not exist an equivalent
kernel space mapping which means we can't just use the new instructions
in kernel space.
Instead of replicating user mappings in the kernel which then might
collide with other mappings, we can conceptually execute the new
instructions as if executed by the user space application using the
secondary address space. This even allows us to directly store to the
user pointer without the need for copy_to/from_user().

"Various tracing fixes:
- Fix a crash when having function tracing and function stack tracing
on the command line.
The ftrace trampolines are created as executable and read only. But
the stack tracer tries to modify them with text_poke() which
expects all kernel text to still be writable at boot. Keep the
trampolines writable at boot, and convert them to read-only with
the rest of the kernel.
- A selftest was triggering in the ring buffer iterator code, that is
no longer valid with the update of keeping the ring buffer writable
while a iterator is reading.
Just bail after three failed attempts to get an event and remove
the warning and disabling of the ring buffer.

If raw_copy_from_user(to, from, N) returns K, callers expect
the first N - K bytes starting at to to have been replaced with
the contents of corresponding area starting at from and the last
K bytes of destination *left* *unmodified*.
What arch/sky/lib/usercopy.c is doing is broken - it can lead to e.g.
data corruption on write(2).
raw_copy_to_user() is inaccurate about return value, which is a bug,
but consequences are less drastic than for raw_copy_from_user().
And just what are those access_ok() doing in there? I mean, look into
linux/uaccess.h; that's where we do that check (as well as zero tail
on failure in the callers that need zeroing).
AFAICS, all of that shouldn't be hard to fix; something like a patch
below might make a useful starting point.
I would suggest moving these macros into usercopy.c (they are never
used anywhere else) and possibly expanding them there; if you leave
them alive, please at least rename __copy_user_zeroing(). Again,
it must not zero anything on failed read.
Said that, I'm not sure we won't be better off simply turning
usercopy.c into usercopy.S - all that is left there is a couple of
functions, each consisting only of inline asm.
Guo Ren reply:
Yes, raw_copy_from_user is wrong, it's no need zeroing code.
unsigned long _copy_from_user(void *to, const void __user *from,
unsigned long n)
{
unsigned long res = n;
might_fault();
if (likely(access_ok(from, n))) {
kasan_check_write(to, n);
res = raw_copy_from_user(to, from, n);
}
if (unlikely(res))
memset(to + (n - res), 0, res);
return res;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(_copy_from_user);
You are right and access_ok() should be removed.
but, how about:
do {
...
"2: stw %3, (%1, 0) \n" \
+ " subi %0, 4 \n" \
"9: stw %4, (%1, 4) \n" \
+ " subi %0, 4 \n" \
"10: stw %5, (%1, 8) \n" \

"11: stw %6, (%1, 12) \n" \
+ " subi %0, 4 \n" \
" addi %2, 16 \n" \
" addi %1, 16 \n" \
Don't expand __ex_table
AI Viro reply:
Hey, I've no idea about the instruction scheduling on csky -
if that doesn't slow the things down, all the better. It's just
that copy_to_user() and friends are on fairly hot codepaths,
and in quite a few situations they will dominate the speed of
e.g. read(2). So I tried to keep the fast path unchanged.
Up to the architecture maintainers, obviously. Which would be
you...
As for the fixups size increase (__ex_table size is unchanged)...
You have each of those macros expanded exactly once.
So the size is not a serious argument, IMO - useless complexity
would be, if it is, in fact, useless; the size... not really,
especially since those extra subi will at least offset it.
Again, up to you - asm optimizations of (essentially)
memcpy()-style loops are tricky and can depend upon the
fairly subtle details of architecture. So even on something
I know reasonably well I would resort to direct experiments
if I can't pass the buck to architecture maintainers.
It *is* worth optimizing - this is where read() from a file
that is already in page cache spends most of the time, etc.
