<content type='text'>
commit 594cc251fdd0d231d342d88b2fdff4bc42fb0690 upstream.

Originally, the rule used to be that you'd have to do access_ok()
separately, and then user_access_begin() before actually doing the
direct (optimized) user access.

But experience has shown that people then decide not to do access_ok()
at all, and instead rely on it being implied by other operations or
similar.  Which makes it very hard to verify that the access has
actually been range-checked.

If you use the unsafe direct user accesses, hardware features (either
SMAP - Supervisor Mode Access Protection - on x86, or PAN - Privileged
Access Never - on ARM) do force you to use user_access_begin().  But
nothing really forces the range check.

By putting the range check into user_access_begin(), we actually force
people to do the right thing (tm), and the range check vill be visible
near the actual accesses.  We have way too long a history of people
trying to avoid them.

This will aid in enabling the compat syscalls on 32-bit architectures later
on.

Also move compat_itimerspec and related defines to compat_time.h.  The
compat_time.h file will eventually be deleted.

Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Core infrastucture work for Y2038 to address the COMPAT interfaces:

     + Add a new Y2038 safe __kernel_timespec and use it in the core
       code

     + Introduce config switches which allow to control the various
       compat mechanisms

     + Use the new config switch in the posix timer code to control the
       32bit compat syscall implementation.

 - Prevent bogus selection of CPU local clocksources which causes an
   endless reselection loop

 - Remove the extra kthread in the clocksource code which has no value
   and just adds another level of indirection

 - The usual bunch of trivial updates, cleanups and fixlets all over the
   place

 - More SPDX conversions

Commit 3a4d44b61625 ("ntp: Move adjtimex related compat syscalls to
native counterparts") removed the memset() in compat_get_timex().  Since
then, the compat adjtimex syscall can invoke do_adjtimex() with an
uninitialized -&gt;tai.

If do_adjtimex() doesn't write to -&gt;tai (e.g.  because the arguments are
invalid), compat_put_timex() then copies the uninitialized -&gt;tai field
to userspace.

Fix it by adding the memset() back.

Move compat_sys_move_pages() to mm/migrate.c and make it call a newly
introduced helper -- kernel_move_pages() -- instead of the syscall.

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

Since commit afcc90f8621e ("usercopy: WARN() on slab cache usercopy

emit a warning when copying compat siginfo to userspace:

Commit 5905429ad856 ("fork: Provide usercopy whitelisting for
task_struct") noted that:

"While the blocked and saved_sigmask fields of task_struct are copied to
userspace (via sigmask_to_save() and setup_rt_frame()), it is always
copied with a static length (i.e. sizeof(sigset_t))."

However, this is not true in the case of compat signals, whose sigset
is copied by put_compat_sigset and receives size as an argument.

At most call sites, put_compat_sigset is copying a sigset from the
current task_struct. This triggers a warning when
CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is active. However, by marking this function as
static inline, the warning can be avoided because in all of these cases
the size is constant at compile time, which is allowed. The only site
where this is not the case is handling the rt_sigpending syscall, but
there the copy is being made from a stack local variable so does not
trigger the warning.

Move put_compat_sigset to compat.h, and mark it static inline. This
fixes the WARN on MIPS.
