x86/coredump: Always use user_regs_struct for compat_elf_gregset_t

Commit:

90954e7b9407 ("x86/coredump: Use pr_reg size, rather that TIF_IA32 flag")

changed the coredumping code to construct the elf coredump file according
to register set size - and that's good: if binary crashes with 32-bit code
selector, generate 32-bit ELF core, otherwise - 64-bit core.

That was made for restoring 32-bit applications on x86_64: we want
32-bit application after restore to generate 32-bit ELF dump on crash.

All was quite good and recently I started reworking 32-bit applications
dumping part of CRIU: now it has two parasites (32 and 64) for seizing
compat/native tasks, after rework it'll have one parasite, working in
64-bit mode, to which 32-bit prologue long-jumps during infection.

And while it has worked for my work machine, in VM with
!CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI during reworking I faced that segfault in 32-bit
binary, that has long-jumped to 64-bit mode results in dereference
of garbage:

32-victim[19266]: segfault at f775ef65 ip 00000000f775ef65 sp 00000000f776aa50 error 14
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffffffffff
IP: [<ffffffff81332ce0>] strlen+0x0/0x20

That's because we have 64-bit registers set (with according total size)
and we're writing it to elf_thread_core_info which has smaller size
on !CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI. That lead to overwriting ELF notes part.

Tested on 32-, 64-bit ELF crashes and on 32-bit binaries that have
jumped with 64-bit code selector - all is readable with gdb.

x86/signals: Add missing signal_compat code for x86 features

The 32-bit siginfo is a different binary format than the 64-bit
one. So, when running 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels, we have
to convert the kernel's 64-bit version to a 32-bit version that
userspace can grok.

We've added a few features to siginfo over the past few years and
neglected to add them to arch/x86/kernel/signal_compat.c:

1. The si_addr_lsb used in SIGBUS's sent for machine checks
2. The upper/lower bounds for MPX SIGSEGV faults
3. The protection key for pkey faults

I caught this with some protection keys unit tests and realized
it affected a few more features.

This was tested only with my protection keys patch that looks
for a proper value in si_pkey. I didn't actually test the machine
check or MPX code.

x86/entry: Rename is_{ia32,x32}_task() to in_{ia32,x32}_syscall()

The is_ia32_task()/is_x32_task() function names are a big misnomer: they
suggests that the compat-ness of a system call is a task property, which
is not true, the compatness of a system call purely depends on how it
was invoked through the system call layer.

A task may call 32-bit and 64-bit and x32 system calls without changing
any of its kernel visible state.

This specific minomer is also actively dangerous, as it might cause kernel
developers to use the wrong kind of security checks within system calls.

So rename it to in_{ia32,x32}_syscall().

This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.

Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures
which have it. Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or
linux/compat.h.

Most of the copies are verbatim. compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by
__compat_uid[32]_t. compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before
compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already
had it moved up). compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h
to asm/compat.h.

x32: Handle the x32 system call flag

x32 shares most system calls with x86-64, but unfortunately some
subsystem (the input subsystem is the chief offender) which require
is_compat() when operating with a 32-bit userspace. The input system
actually has text files in sysfs whose meaning is dependent on
sizeof(long) in userspace!

We could solve this by having two completely disjoint system call
tables; requiring that each system call be duplicated. This patch
takes a different approach: we add a flag to the system call number;
this flag doesn't affect the system call dispatch but requests compat
treatment from affected subsystems for the duration of the system call.

The change of cmpq to cmpl is safe since it immediately follows the
and.

compat: sync compat_stats with statfs.

This was found by inspection while tracking a similar
bug in compat_statfs64, that has been fixed in mainline
since decemeber.

- This fixes a bug where not all of the f_spare fields
were cleared on mips and s390.
- Add the f_flags field to struct compat_statfs
- Copy f_flags to userspace in case someone cares.
- Use __clear_user to copy the f_spare field to userspace
to ensure that all of the elements of f_spare are cleared.
On some architectures f_spare is has 5 ints and on some
architectures f_spare only has 4 ints. Which makes
the previous technique of clearing each int individually
broken.

I don't expect anyone actually uses the old statfs system
call anymore but if they do let them benefit from having
the compat and the native version working the same.

compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok()

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could
introduce problems on some architectures.

This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.

This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.

Factor out a copy_siginfo_to_external32 helper from
copy_siginfo_to_user32 that fills out the compat_siginfo, but does so
on a kernel space data structure. With that we can let architectures
override copy_siginfo_to_user32 with their own implementations using
copy_siginfo_to_external32. That allows moving the x32 SIGCHLD purely
to x86 architecture code.

As a nice side effect copy_siginfo_to_external32 also comes in handy
for avoiding a set_fs() call in the coredump code later on.

| 32-bit(?) | | <false> |
-------------------------------------------

As seen, the result of in_compat_syscall() on generic 32-bit platform
differs from i686.

There is no reason for in_compat_syscall() == true on native i686. It also
easy to misread code if the result on native 32-bit platform differs
between arches.

Because of that non arch-specific code has many places with:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPAT) && in_compat_syscall())
in different variations.

It looks-like the only non-x86 code which uses in_compat_syscall() not
under CONFIG_COMPAT guard is in amd/amdkfd. But according to the commit
a18069c132cb ("amdkfd: Disable support for 32-bit user processes"), it
actually should be disabled on native i686.

Rename in_compat_syscall() to in_32bit_syscall() for x86-specific code
and make in_compat_syscall() false under !CONFIG_COMPAT.

A follow on patch will clean up generic users which were forced to check
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPAT) with in_compat_syscall().

signal: Distinguish between kernel_siginfo and siginfo

Linus recently observed that if we did not worry about the padding
member in struct siginfo it is only about 48 bytes, and 48 bytes is
much nicer than 128 bytes for allocating on the stack and copying
around in the kernel.

The obvious thing of only adding the padding when userspace is
including siginfo.h won't work as there are sigframe definitions in
the kernel that embed struct siginfo.

So split siginfo in two; kernel_siginfo and siginfo. Keeping the
traditional name for the userspace definition. While the version that
is used internally to the kernel and ultimately will not be padded to
128 bytes is called kernel_siginfo.

The definition of struct kernel_siginfo I have put in include/signal_types.h

A set of buildtime checks has been added to verify the two structures have
the same field offsets.

To make it easy to verify the change kernel_siginfo retains the same
size as siginfo. The reduction in size comes in a following change.
