[ Upstream commit ca3574bd653aba234a4b31955f2778947403be16 ]

Update module_put_and_exit to call kthread_exit instead of do_exit.

Change the name to reflect this change in functionality.  All of the
users of module_put_and_exit are causing the current kthread to exit
so this change makes it clear what is happening.  There is no
functional change.

[ Upstream commit bbda86e988d4c124e4cfa816291cbd583ae8bfb1 ]

The way the per task_struct exit_code is used by kernel threads is not
quite compatible how it is used by userspace applications.  The low
byte of the userspace exit_code value encodes the exit signal.  While
kthreads just use the value as an int holding ordinary kernel function
exit status like -EPERM.

Add kthread_exit to clearly separate the two kinds of uses.

<content type='text'>
When dbf460087755 ("objtool/x86: Fixup frame-pointer vs rethunk")
was backported to some stable branches, the check for dest-&gt;embedded_insn
in is_special_call() was missed.  The result is that the warning it
was intended to suppress still appears.  For example on 6.1 (on kernels
before 6.1, the '-s' argument would instead be 'check'):

$ tools/objtool/objtool -s arch/x86/lib/retpoline.o
arch/x86/lib/retpoline.o: warning: objtool: srso_untrain_ret+0xd:
    call without frame pointer save/setup

With this patch, the warning is correctly suppressed, and the
kernel still passes the normal Google kernel developer tests.

commit 4ae68b26c3ab5a82aa271e6e9fc9b1a06e1d6b40 upstream.

Objtool --rethunk does two things:

 - it collects all (tail) call's of __x86_return_thunk and places them
   into .return_sites. These are typically compiler generated, but
   RET also emits this same.

 - it fudges the validation of the __x86_return_thunk symbol; because
   this symbol is inside another instruction, it can't actually find
   the instruction pointed to by the symbol offset and gets upset.

Because these two things pertained to the same symbol, there was no
pressing need to separate these two separate things.

However, alas, along comes SRSO and more crazy things to deal with
appeared.

The SRSO patch itself added the following symbol names to identify as
rethunk:

  'srso_untrain_ret', 'srso_safe_ret' and '__ret'

Where '__ret' is the old retbleed return thunk, 'srso_safe_ret' is a
new similarly embedded return thunk, and 'srso_untrain_ret' is
completely unrelated to anything the above does (and was only included
because of that INT3 vs UD2 issue fixed previous).

Clear things up by adding a second category for the embedded instruction
thing.

commit dbf46008775516f7f25c95b7760041c286299783 upstream.

For stack-validation of a frame-pointer build, objtool validates that
every CALL instruction is preceded by a frame-setup. The new SRSO
return thunks violate this with their RSB stuffing trickery.

Extend the __fentry__ exception to also cover the embedded_insn case
used for this. This cures:

<title>x86/retpoline,kprobes: Fix position of thunk sections with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 79cd2a11224eab86d6673fe8a11d2046ae9d2757 upstream.

The linker script arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S matches the thunk
sections ".text.__x86.*" from arch/x86/lib/retpoline.S as follows:

  .text {
    [...]
    TEXT_TEXT
    [...]
    __indirect_thunk_start = .;
    *(.text.__x86.*)
    __indirect_thunk_end = .;
    [...]
  }

Macro TEXT_TEXT references TEXT_MAIN which normally expands to only
".text". However, with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, TEXT_MAIN becomes
".text .text.[0-9a-zA-Z_]*" which wrongly matches also the thunk
sections. The output layout is then different than expected. For
instance, the currently defined range [__indirect_thunk_start,
__indirect_thunk_end] becomes empty.

Prevent the problem by using ".." as the first separator, for example,
".text..__x86.indirect_thunk". This pattern is utilized by other
explicit section names which start with one of the standard prefixes,
such as ".text" or ".data", and that need to be individually selected in
the linker script.

commit d43490d0ab824023e11d0b57d0aeec17a6e0ca13 upstream.

Use the existing configurable return thunk. There is absolute no
justification for having created this __x86_return_thunk alternative.

To clarify, the whole thing looks like:

Zen3/4 does:

  srso_alias_untrain_ret:
	  nop2
	  lfence
	  jmp srso_alias_return_thunk
	  int3

  srso_alias_safe_ret: // aliasses srso_alias_untrain_ret just so
	  add $8, %rsp
	  ret
	  int3

  srso_alias_return_thunk:
	  call srso_alias_safe_ret
	  ud2

While Zen1/2 does:

  srso_untrain_ret:
	  movabs $foo, %rax
	  lfence
	  call srso_safe_ret           (jmp srso_return_thunk ?)
	  int3

  srso_safe_ret: // embedded in movabs instruction
	  add $8,%rsp
          ret
          int3

  srso_return_thunk:
	  call srso_safe_ret
	  ud2

While retbleed does:

  zen_untrain_ret:
	  test $0xcc, %bl
	  lfence
	  jmp zen_return_thunk
          int3

  zen_return_thunk: // embedded in the test instruction
	  ret
          int3

Where Zen1/2 flush the BTB entry using the instruction decoder trick
(test,movabs) Zen3/4 use BTB aliasing. SRSO adds a return sequence
(srso_safe_ret()) which forces the function return instruction to
speculate into a trap (UD2).  This RET will then mispredict and
execution will continue at the return site read from the top of the
stack.

Pick one of three options at boot (evey function can only ever return
once).

  [ bp: Fixup commit message uarch details and add them in a comment in
    the code too. Add a comment about the srso_select_mitigation()
    dependency on retbleed_select_mitigation(). Add moar ifdeffery for
    32-bit builds. Add a dummy srso_untrain_ret_alias() definition for
    32-bit alternatives needing the symbol. ]

Upstream commit: fb3bd914b3ec28f5fb697ac55c4846ac2d542855

Add a mitigation for the speculative return address stack overflow
vulnerability found on AMD processors.

The mitigation works by ensuring all RET instructions speculate to
a controlled location, similar to how speculation is controlled in the
retpoline sequence.  To accomplish this, the __x86_return_thunk forces
the CPU to mispredict every function return using a 'safe return'
sequence.

To ensure the safety of this mitigation, the kernel must ensure that the
safe return sequence is itself free from attacker interference.  In Zen3
and Zen4, this is accomplished by creating a BTB alias between the
untraining function srso_untrain_ret_alias() and the safe return
function srso_safe_ret_alias() which results in evicting a potentially
poisoned BTB entry and using that safe one for all function returns.

In older Zen1 and Zen2, this is accomplished using a reinterpretation
technique similar to Retbleed one: srso_untrain_ret() and
srso_safe_ret().
