Revert "mm: mmap: allow for the maximum number of bits for randomizing mmap_base by default"

Revert "mm: mmap: allow for the maximum number of bits for randomizing mmap_base by default"

commit 14d7c92f8df9c0964ae6f8b813c1b3ac38120825 upstream.

This reverts commit 3afb76a66b5559a7b595155803ce23801558a7a9.

This was a wrongheaded workaround for an issue that had already been
fixed much better by commit 4ef9ad19e176 ("mm: huge_memory: don't force
huge page alignment on 32 bit").

Asking users questions at kernel compile time that they can't make sense
of is not a viable strategy. And the fact that even the kernel VM
maintainers apparently didn't catch that this "fix" is not a fix any
more pretty much proves the point that people can't be expected to
understand the implications of the question.

It may well be the case that we could improve things further, and that
__thp_get_unmapped_area() should take the mapping randomization into
account even for 64-bit kernels. Maybe we should not be so eager to use
THP mappings.

But in no case should this be a kernel config option.

mm: mmap: allow for the maximum number of bits for randomizing mmap_base by default

commit 3afb76a66b5559a7b595155803ce23801558a7a9 upstream.

mm: mmap: allow for the maximum number of bits for randomizing mmap_base by default

commit 3afb76a66b5559a7b595155803ce23801558a7a9 upstream.

An ASLR regression was noticed [1] and tracked down to file-mapped areas
being backed by THP in recent kernels. The 21-bit alignment constraint
for such mappings reduces the entropy for randomizing the placement of
64-bit library mappings and breaks ASLR completely for 32-bit libraries.

The reported issue is easily addressed by increasing vm.mmap_rnd_bits and
vm.mmap_rnd_compat_bits. This patch just provides a simple way to set
ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS and ARCH_MMAP_RND_COMPAT_BITS to their maximum values
allowed by the architecture at build time.

cpu: Re-enable CPU mitigations by default for !X86 architectures

commit fe42754b94a42d08cf9501790afc25c4f6a5f631 upstream.

Rename x86's to CPU_MITIGATIONS, define it in generic code, and force it
on for all architectures exception x86. A recent commit to turn
mitigations off by default if SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n kinda sorta
missed that "cpu_mitigations" is completely generic, whereas
SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is x86-specific.

Rename x86's SPECULATIVE_MITIGATIONS instead of keeping both and have it
select CPU_MITIGATIONS, as having two configs for the same thing is
unnecessary and confusing. This will also allow x86 to use the knob to
manage mitigations that aren't strictly related to speculative
execution.

Use another Kconfig to communicate to common code that CPU_MITIGATIONS
is already defined instead of having x86's menu depend on the common
CPU_MITIGATIONS. This allows keeping a single point of contact for all
of x86's mitigations, and it's not clear that other architectures *want*
to allow disabling mitigations at compile-time.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
"This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).

CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
part of this feature, and just for userspace.

The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
versions of this patch set"

"Updates for the CPU hotplug core:

- Support partial SMT enablement.

So far the sysfs SMT control only allows to toggle between SMT on
and off. That's sufficient for x86 which usually has at max two
threads except for the Xeon PHI platform which has four threads per
core

Though PowerPC has up to 16 threads per core and so far it's only
possible to control the number of enabled threads per core via a
command line option. There is some way to control this at runtime,
but that lacks enforcement and the usability is awkward

This update expands the sysfs interface and the core infrastructure
to accept numerical values so PowerPC can build SMT runtime control
for partial SMT enablement on top

The core support has also been provided to the PowerPC maintainers
who added the PowerPC related changes on top

kexec: consolidate kexec and crash options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec

Patch series "refactor Kconfig to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options", v6.

The Kconfig is refactored to consolidate KEXEC and C

kexec: consolidate kexec and crash options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec

Patch series "refactor Kconfig to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options", v6.

The Kconfig is refactored to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options from
various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec.

The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features"
located under "General Setup".

The following options are impacted:

- KEXEC
- KEXEC_FILE
- KEXEC_SIG
- KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
- KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
- KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
- KEXEC_JUMP
- CRASH_DUMP

Over time, these options have been copied between Kconfig files and
are very similar to one another, but with slight differences.

The following architectures are impacted by the refactor (because of
use of one or more KEXEC/CRASH options):

- arm
- arm64
- ia64
- loongarch
- m68k
- mips
- parisc
- powerpc
- riscv
- s390
- sh
- x86

More information:

In the patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot
un/plug"

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230503224145.7405-1-eric.devolder@oracle.com/

the new kernel feature introduces the config option CRASH_HOTPLUG.

In reviewing, Thomas Gleixner requested that the new config option
not be placed in x86 Kconfig. Rather the option needs a generic/common
home. To Thomas' point, the KEXEC and CRASH options have largely been
duplicated in the various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files, with minor
differences. This kind of proliferation is to be avoid/stopped.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/875y91yv63.ffs@tglx/

To that end, I have refactored the arch Kconfigs so as to consolidate
the various KEXEC and CRASH options. Generally speaking, this work has
the following themes:

- KEXEC and CRASH options are moved into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec
- These items from arch/Kconfig:
CRASH_CORE KEXEC_CORE KEXEC_ELF HAVE_IMA_KEXEC
- These items from arch/x86/Kconfig form the common options:
KEXEC KEXEC_FILE KEXEC_SIG KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG KEXEC_JUMP CRASH_DUMP
- These items from arch/arm64/Kconfig form the common options:
KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
- The crash hotplug series appends CRASH_HOTPLUG to Kconfig.kexec
- The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features"
and is now listed in "General Setup" submenu from init/Kconfig.
- To control the common options, each has a new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>
option. These gateway options determine whether the common options
options are valid for the architecture.
- To account for the slight differences in the original architecture
coding of the common options, each now has a corresponding
ARCH_SELECTS_<option> which are used to elicit the same side effects
as the original arch/<arch>/Kconfig files for KEXEC and CRASH options.

An example, 'make menuconfig' illustrating the submenu:

> General setup > Kexec and crash features
[*] Enable kexec system call
[*] Enable kexec file based system call
[*] Verify kernel signature during kexec_file_load() syscall
[ ] Require a valid signature in kexec_file_load() syscall
[ ] Enable bzImage signature verification support
[*] kexec jump
[*] kernel crash dumps
[*] Update the crash elfcorehdr on system configuration changes

In the process of consolidating the common options, I encountered
slight differences in the coding of these options in several of the
architectures. As a result, I settled on the following solution:

- Each of the common options has a 'depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>'
statement. For example, the KEXEC_FILE option has a 'depends on
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE' statement.

This approach is needed on all common options so as to prevent
options from appearing for architectures which previously did
not allow/enable them. For example, arm supports KEXEC but not
KEXEC_FILE. The arch/arm/Kconfig does not provide
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE and so KEXEC_FILE and related options
are not available to arm.

- The boolean ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> in effect allows the arch to
determine when the feature is allowed. Archs which don't have the
feature simply do not provide the corresponding ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>.
For each arch, where there previously were KEXEC and/or CRASH
options, these have been replaced with the corresponding boolean
ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>, and an appropriate def_bool statement.

For example, if the arch supports KEXEC_FILE, then the
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE simply has a 'def_bool y'. This permits
the KEXEC_FILE option to be available.

If the arch has a 'depends on' statement in its original coding
of the option, then that expression becomes part of the def_bool
expression. For example, arm64 had:

config KEXEC
depends on PM_SLEEP_SMP

and in this solution, this converts to:

config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
def_bool PM_SLEEP_SMP


- In order to account for the architecture differences in the
coding for the common options, the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> in the
arch/<arch>/Kconfig is used. This option has a 'depends on
<option>' statement to couple it to the main option, and from
there can insert the differences from the common option and the
arch original coding of that option.

For example, a few archs enable CRYPTO and CRYTPO_SHA256 for
KEXEC_FILE. These require a ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE and
'select CRYPTO' and 'select CRYPTO_SHA256' statements.

Illustrating the option relationships:

For each of the common KEXEC and CRASH options:
ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> <- <option> <- ARCH_SELECTS_<option>

<option> # in Kconfig.kexec
ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed
ARCH_SELECTS_<option> # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed


For example, KEXEC:
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC <- KEXEC <- ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC

KEXEC # in Kconfig.kexec
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed
ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed


To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be
enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie.
select statements).

Testing Approach and Results

There are 388 config files in the arch/<arch>/configs directories.
For each of these config files, a .config is generated both before and
after this Kconfig series, and checked for equivalence. This approach
allows for a rather rapid check of all architectures and a wide
variety of configs wrt/ KEXEC and CRASH, and avoids requiring
compiling for all architectures and running kernels and run-time
testing.

For each config file, the olddefconfig, allnoconfig and allyesconfig
targets are utilized. In testing the randconfig has revealed problems
as well, but is not used in the before and after equivalence check
since one can not generate the "same" .config for before and after,
even if using the same KCONFIG_SEED since the option list is
different.

As such, the following script steps compare the before and after
of 'make olddefconfig'. The new symbols introduced by this series
are filtered out, but otherwise the config files are PASS only if
they were equivalent, and FAIL otherwise.

The script performs the test by doing the following:

# Obtain the "golden" .config output for given config file
# Reset test sandbox
git checkout master
git branch -D test_Kconfig
git checkout -B test_Kconfig master
make distclean
# Write out updated config
cp -f <config file> .config
make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig
# Track each item in .config, LHSB is "golden"
scoreboard .config

# Obtain the "changed" .config output for given config file
# Reset test sandbox
make distclean
# Apply this Kconfig series
git am <this Kconfig series>
# Write out updated config
cp -f <config file> .config
make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig
# Track each item in .config, RHSB is "changed"
scoreboard .config

# Determine test result
# Filter-out new symbols introduced by this series
# Filter-out symbol=n which not in either scoreboard
# Compare LHSB "golden" and RHSB "changed" scoreboards and issue PASS/FAIL

The script was instrumental during the refactoring of Kconfig as it
continually revealed problems. The end result being that the solution
presented in this series passes all configs as checked by the script,
with the following exceptions:

- arch/ia64/configs/zx1_config with olddefconfig
This config file has:
# CONFIG_KEXEC is not set
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
and this refactor now couples KEXEC to CRASH_DUMP, so it is not
possible to enable CRASH_DUMP without KEXEC.

- arch/sh/configs/* with allyesconfig
The arch/sh/Kconfig codes CRASH_DUMP as dependent upon BROKEN_ON_MMU
(which clearly is not meant to be set). This symbol is not provided
but with the allyesconfig it is set to yes which enables CRASH_DUMP.
But KEXEC is coded as dependent upon MMU, and is set to no in
arch/sh/mm/Kconfig, so KEXEC is not enabled.
This refactor now couples KEXEC to CRASH_DUMP, so it is not
possible to enable CRASH_DUMP without KEXEC.

While the above exceptions are not equivalent to their original,
the config file produced is valid (and in fact better wrt/ CRASH_DUMP
handling).


This patch (of 14)

The config options for kexec and crash features are consolidated
into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Under the "General Setup" submenu
is a new submenu "Kexec and crash handling". All the kexec and
crash options that were once in the arch-dependent submenu "Processor
type and features" are now consolidated in the new submenu.

The following options are impacted:

- KEXEC
- KEXEC_FILE
- KEXEC_SIG
- KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
- KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
- KEXEC_JUMP
- CRASH_DUMP

The three main options are KEXEC, KEXEC_FILE and CRASH_DUMP.

Architectures specify support of certain KEXEC and CRASH features with
similarly named new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> config options.

Architectures can utilize the new ARCH_SELECTS_<option> config
options to specify additional components when <option> is enabled.

To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be
enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie.
select statements).

cpu/SMT: Create topology_smt_thread_allowed()

Some architectures allows partial SMT states, i.e. when not all SMT threads
are brought online.

To support that, add an architecture helper which checks whether a given
CPU is allowed to be brought online depending on how many SMT threads are
currently enabled. Since this is only applicable to architecture supporting
partial SMT, only these architectures should select the new configuration
variable CONFIG_SMT_NUM_THREADS_DYNAMIC. For the other architectures, not
supporting the partial SMT states, there is no need to define
topology_cpu_smt_allowed(), the generic code assumed that all the threads
are allowed or only the primary ones.

Call the helper from cpu_smt_enable(), and cpu_smt_allowed() when SMT is
enabled, to check if the particular thread should be onlined. Notably,
also call it from cpu_smt_disable() if CPU_SMT_ENABLED, to allow
offlining some threads to move from a higher to lower number of threads
online.

mm: Rename arch pte_mkwrite()'s to pte_mkwrite_novma()

The x86 Shadow stack feature includes a new type of memory called shadow
stack. This shadow stack memory has some unusual properties, which requires
some core mm changes to function properly.

One of these unusual properties is that shadow stack memory is writable,
but only in limited ways. These limits are applied via a specific PTE
bit combination. Nevertheless, the memory is writable, and core mm code
will need to apply the writable permissions in the typical paths that
call pte_mkwrite(). The goal is to make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA, so
that the x86 implementation of it can know whether to create regular
writable or shadow stack mappings.

But there are a couple of challenges to this. Modifying the signatures of
each arch pte_mkwrite() implementation would be error prone because some
are generated with macros and would need to be re-implemented. Also, some
pte_mkwrite() callers operate on kernel memory without a VMA.

So this can be done in a three step process. First pte_mkwrite() can be
renamed to pte_mkwrite_novma() in each arch, with a generic pte_mkwrite()
added that just calls pte_mkwrite_novma(). Next callers without a VMA can
be moved to pte_mkwrite_novma(). And lastly, pte_mkwrite() and all callers
can be changed to take/pass a VMA.

Start the process by renaming pte_mkwrite() to pte_mkwrite_novma() and
adding the pte_mkwrite() wrapper in linux/pgtable.h. Apply the same
pattern for pmd_mkwrite(). Since not all archs have a pmd_mkwrite_novma(),
create a new arch config HAS_HUGE_PAGE that can be used to tell if
pmd_mkwrite() should be defined. Otherwise in the !HAS_HUGE_PAGE cases the
compiler would not be able to find pmd_mkwrite_novma().

No functional change.
