commit 51b958e5aeb1e18c00332e0b37c5d4e95a3eff84 upstream.

The instruction emulator ignores clflush instructions, yet fails to
support clflushopt. Treat both similarly.

commit dcd479e10a0510522a5d88b29b8f79ea3467d501 upstream.

When (for example) an IBSS station is pre-moved to AUTHORIZED
before it's inserted, and then the insertion fails, we don't
clean up the fast RX/TX states that might already have been
created, since we don't go through all the state transitions
again on the way down.

Do that, if it hasn't been done already, when the station is
freed. I considered only freeing the fast TX/RX state there,
but we might add more state so it's more robust to wind down
the state properly.

Note that we warn if the station was ever inserted, it should
have been properly cleaned up in that case, and the driver
will probably not like things happening out of order.

commit 29daf869cbab69088fe1755d9dd224e99ba78b56 upstream.

The kernel expects pte_young() to work regardless of CONFIG_SWAP.

Make sure a minor fault is taken to set _PAGE_ACCESSED when it
is not already set, regardless of the selection of CONFIG_SWAP.

This adds at least 3 instructions to the TLB miss exception
handlers fast path. Following patch will reduce this overhead.

Also update the rotation instruction to the correct number of bits
to reflect all changes done to _PAGE_ACCESSED over time.

commit afca6c5b2595fc44383919fba740c194b0b76aff upstream

A recent fuzzed filesystem image cached random dcache corruption
when the reproducer was run. This often showed up as panics in
lookup_slow() on a null inode-&gt;i_ops pointer when doing pathwalks.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000
....

but had many different failure modes including deadlocks trying to
lock the inode that was just allocated or KASAN reports of
use-after-free violations.

The cause of the problem was a corrupt INOBT on a v4 fs where the
root inode was marked as free in the inobt record. Hence when we
allocated an inode, it chose the root inode to allocate, found it in
the cache and re-initialised it.

We recently fixed a similar inode allocation issue caused by inobt
record corruption problem in xfs_iget_cache_miss() in commit
ee457001ed6c ("xfs: catch inode allocation state mismatch
corruption"). This change adds similar checks to the cache-hit path
to catch it, and turns the reproducer into a corruption shutdown
situation.

commit ee457001ed6c6f31ddad69c24c1da8f377d8472d upstream

We recently came across a V4 filesystem causing memory corruption
due to a newly allocated inode being setup twice and being added to
the superblock inode list twice. From code inspection, the only way
this could happen is if a newly allocated inode was not marked as
free on disk (i.e. di_mode wasn't zero).

Running the metadump on an upstream debug kernel fails during inode
allocation like so:

XFS: Assertion failed: ip-&gt;i_d.di_nblocks == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_inod=

Extracting the inode number we crashed on from an event trace and
looking at it with xfs_db:

xfs_db&gt; inode 184452204
xfs_db&gt; p
core.magic = 0x494e
core.mode = 0100644
core.version = 2
core.format = 2 (extents)
core.nlinkv2 = 1
core.onlink = 0
.....

Confirms that it is not a free inode on disk. xfs_repair
also trips over this inode:

.....
zero length extent (off = 0, fsbno = 0) in ino 184452204
correcting nextents for inode 184452204
bad attribute fork in inode 184452204, would clear attr fork
bad nblocks 1 for inode 184452204, would reset to 0
bad anextents 1 for inode 184452204, would reset to 0
imap claims in-use inode 184452204 is free, would correct imap
would have cleared inode 184452204
.....
disconnected inode 184452204, would move to lost+found

And so we have a situation where the directory structure and the
inobt thinks the inode is free, but the inode on disk thinks it is
still in use. Where this corruption came from is not possible to
diagnose, but we can detect it and prevent the kernel from oopsing
on lookup. The reproducer now results in:

$ sudo mkdir /mnt/scratch/{0,1,2,3,4,5}{0,1,2,3,4,5}

commit e50e4f0b85be308a01b830c5fbdffc657e1a6dd0 upstream

If interrupt comes late, during probe error path or device remove (could
be triggered with CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ), the interrupt handler
i2c_imx_isr() will access registers with the clock being disabled.  This
leads to external abort on non-linefetch on Toradex Colibri VF50 module
(with Vybrid VF5xx):

Additionally, the i2c_imx_isr() could wake up the wait queue
(imx_i2c_struct-&gt;queue) before its initialization happens.

The resource-managed framework should not be used for interrupt handling,
because the resource will be released too late - after disabling clocks.
The interrupt handler is not prepared for such case.

<title>powerpc/64s: flush L1D after user accesses</title>

commit 9a32a7e78bd0cd9a9b6332cbdc345ee5ffd0c5de upstream.

IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1 cache before
it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction mechanism. It is not possible
for an attacker to determine the contents of impermissible memory using this method,
since these systems implement a combination of hardware and software security measures
to prevent scenarios where protected data could be leaked.

However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker induces
the operating system to speculatively execute instructions using data that the
attacker controls. This can be used for example to speculatively bypass "kernel
user access prevention" techniques, as discovered by Anthony Steinhauser of
Google's Safeside Project. This is not an attack by itself, but there is a possibility
it could be used in conjunction with side-channels or other weaknesses in the
privileged code to construct an attack.

This issue can be mitigated by flushing the L1 cache between privilege boundaries
of concern. This patch flushes the L1 cache after user accesses.

This is part of the fix for CVE-2020-4788.

<title>powerpc/uaccess: Evaluate macro arguments once, before user access is allowed</title>

commit d02f6b7dab8228487268298ea1f21081c0b4b3eb upstream.

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.
