x86/stackprotector/32: Make the canary into a regular percpu variable
On 32-bit kernels, the stackprotector canary is quite nasty -- it is stored at %gs:(20), which is nasty because 32-bit kernels use %fs for percpu storage. It's even nastier because it means that whether %gs contains userspace state or kernel state while running kernel code depends on whether stackprotector is enabled (this is CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS), and this setting radically changes the way that segment selectors work. Supporting both variants is a maintenance and testing mess.
Merely rearranging so that percpu and the stack canary share the same segment would be messy as the 32-bit percpu address layout isn't currently compatible with putting a variable at a fixed offset.
Fortunately, GCC 8.1 added options that allow the stack canary to be accessed as %fs:__stack_chk_guard, effectively turning it into an ordinary percpu variable. This lets us get rid of all of the code to manage the stack canary GDT descriptor and the CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS mess.
(That name is special. We could use any symbol we want for the %fs-relative mode, but for CONFIG_SMP=n, gcc refuses to let us use any name other than __stack_chk_guard.)
Forcibly disable stackprotector on older compilers that don't support the new options and turn the stack canary into a percpu variable. The "lazy GS" approach is now used for all 32-bit configurations.
Also makes load_gs_index() work on 32-bit kernels. On 64-bit kernels, it loads the GS selector and updates the user GSBASE accordingly. (This is unchanged.) On 32-bit kernels, it loads the GS selector and updates GSBASE, which is now always the user base. This means that the overall effect is the same on 32-bit and 64-bit, which avoids some ifdeffery.

efi: Add 'runtime' pointer to struct efi
Instead of going through the EFI system table each time, just copy the runtime services table pointer into struct efi directly. This is the last use of the system table pointer in struct efi, allowing us to drop it in a future patch, along with a fair amount of quirky handling of the translated address.
Note that usually, the runtime services pointer changes value during the call to SetVirtualAddressMap(), so grab the updated value as soon as that call returns. (Mixed mode uses a 1:1 mapping, and kexec boot enters with the updated address in the system table, so in those cases, we don't need to do anything here)

Kbuild: rename CC_STACKPROTECTOR[_STRONG] config variables
The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler supported.
That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support directly.
HOWEVER.
It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file, the sane stack protector configuration would look like
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y
and when you ran this through "make oldconfig" with the Kbuild changes, it would ask you about the regular CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR (that had been renamed from CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR to just CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), but it would think that the STRONG version used to be disabled (because it was really enabled by AUTO), and would disable it in the new config, resulting in:
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
That's dangerously subtle - people could suddenly find themselves with the weaker stack protector setup without even realizing.
The solution here is to just rename not just the old RECULAR stack protector option, but also the strong one. This does that by just removing the CC_ prefix entirely for the user choices, because it really is not about the compiler support (the compiler support now instead automatially impacts _visibility_ of the options to users).
This results in "make oldconfig" actually asking the user for their choice, so that we don't have any silent subtle security model changes. The end result would generally look like this:
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
where the "CC_" versions really are about internal compiler infrastructure, not the user selections.

The TSS is a fairly juicy target for exploits, and, now that the TSS is in the cpu_entry_area, it's no longer protected by kASLR. Make it read-only on x86_64.
On x86_32, it can't be RO because it's written by the CPU during task switches, and we use a task gate for double faults. I'd also be nervous about errata if we tried to make it RO even on configurations without double fault handling.
[ tglx: AMD confirmed that there is no problem on 64-bit with TSS RO. So it's probably safe to assume that it's a non issue, though Intel might have been creative in that area. Still waiting for confirmation. ]

x86/entry/64: Allocate and enable the SYSENTER stack
This will simplify future changes that want scratch variables early in the SYSENTER handler -- they'll be able to spill registers to the stack. It also lets us get rid of a SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK user.
This does not depend on CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y because we'll want the stack space even without IA32 emulation.
As far as I can tell, the reason that this wasn't done from day 1 is that we use IST for #DB and #BP, which is IMO rather nasty and causes a lot more problems than it solves. But, since #DB uses IST, we don't actually need a real stack for SYSENTER (because SYSENTER with TF set will invoke #DB on the IST stack rather than the SYSENTER stack).

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

sched/x86: Rewrite the switch_to() code
Move the low-level context switch code to an out-of-line asm stub instead of using complex inline asm. This allows constructing a new stack frame for the child process to make it seamlessly flow to ret_from_fork without an extra test and branch in __switch_to(). It also improves code generation for __schedule() by using the C calling convention instead of clobbering all registers.

x86/entry/32: Simplify and fix up the SYSENTER stack #DB/NMI fixup
Right after SYSENTER, we can get a #DB or NMI. On x86_32, there's no IST, so the exception handler is invoked on the temporary SYSENTER stack.
Because the SYSENTER stack is very small, we have a fixup to switch off the stack quickly when this happens. The old fixup had several issues:
1. It checked the interrupt frame's CS and EIP. This wasn't obviously correct on Xen or if vm86 mode was in use [1].
2. In the NMI handler, it did some frightening digging into the stack frame. I'm not convinced this digging was correct.
3. The fixup didn't switch stacks and then switch back. Instead, it synthesized a brand new stack frame that would redirect the IRET back to the SYSENTER code. That frame was highly questionable. For one thing, if NMI nested inside #DB, we would effectively abort the #DB prologue, which was probably safe but was frightening. For another, the code used PUSHFL to write the FLAGS portion of the frame, which was simply bogus -- by the time PUSHFL was called, at least TF, NT, VM, and all of the arithmetic flags were clobbered.
Simplify this considerably. Instead of looking at the saved frame to see where we came from, check the hardware ESP register against the SYSENTER stack directly. Malicious user code cannot spoof the kernel ESP register, and by moving the check after SAVE_ALL, we can use normal PER_CPU accesses to find all the relevant addresses.
With this patch applied, the improved syscall_nt_32 test finally passes on 32-bit kernels.
[1] It isn't obviously correct, but it is nonetheless safe from vm86 shenanigans as far as I can tell. A user can't point EIP at entry_SYSENTER_32 while in vm86 mode because entry_SYSENTER_32, like all kernel addresses, is greater than 0xffff and would thus violate the CS segment limit.

x86/asm/entry/32: Document the 32-bit SYSENTER "emergency stack" better
Before the patch, the 'tss_struct::stack' field was not referenced anywhere.
It was used only to set SYSENTER's stack to point after the last byte of tss_struct, thus the trailing field, stack[64], was used.
But grep would not know it. You can comment it out, compile, and kernel will even run until an unlucky NMI corrupts io_bitmap[] (which is also not easily detectable).
This patch changes code so that the purpose and usage of this field is not mysterious anymore, and can be easily grepped for.
This does change generated code, for a subtle reason: since tss_struct is ____cacheline_aligned, there happens to be 5 longs of padding at the end. Old code was using the padding too; new code will strictly use it only for SYSENTER_stack[].

Since asm-offsets_{32,64}.c are included by asm-offsets.c and building them directly doesn't evaluate the macros used (thus making the preprocessor output not very useful), error out when an attempt is made to build them. Issue a hint for the user to build asm-offsets.c instead.

x86: Get rid of ->hard_math and all the FPU asm fu
Reimplement FPU detection code in C and drop old, not-so-recommended detection method in asm. Move all the relevant stuff into i387.c where it conceptually belongs. Finally drop cpuinfo_x86.hard_math.
[ hpa: huge thanks to Borislav for taking my original concept patch and productizing it ]
[ Boris, note to self: do not use static_cpu_has before alternatives! ]

x86, gdt, hibernate: Store/load GDT for hibernate path.
The git commite7a5cd063c7b4c58417f674821d63f5eb6747e37 ("x86-64, gdt: Store/load GDT for ACPI S3 or hibernate/resume path is not needed.") ass
x86, gdt, hibernate: Store/load GDT for hibernate path.
The git commite7a5cd063c7b4c58417f674821d63f5eb6747e37 ("x86-64, gdt: Store/load GDT for ACPI S3 or hibernate/resume path is not needed.") assumes that for the hibernate path the booting kernel and the resuming kernel MUST be the same. That is certainly the case for a 32-bit kernel (see check_image_kernel and CONFIG_ARCH_HIBERNATION_HEADER config option).
However for 64-bit kernels it is OK to have a different kernel version (and size of the image) of the booting and resuming kernels. Hence the above mentioned git commit introduces an regression.
This patch fixes it by introducing a 'struct desc_ptr gdt_desc' back in the 'struct saved_context'. However instead of having in the 'save_processor_state' and 'restore_processor_state' the store/load_gdt calls, we are only saving the GDT in the save_processor_state.
For the restore path the lgdt operation is done in hibernate_asm_[32|64].S in the 'restore_registers' path.
The apt reader of this description will recognize that only 64-bit kernels need this treatment, not 32-bit. This patch adds the logic in the 32-bit path to be more similar to 64-bit so that in the future the unification process can take advantage of this.
[ hpa: this also reverts an inadvertent on-disk format change ]

x86: Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h from tables
Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h automatically from the tables in arch/x86/syscalls. All other information, like NR_syscalls, is auto-generated, some of which is in asm-offsets_*.c.
This allows us to keep all the system call information in one place, and allows for kernel space and user space to see different information; this is currently used for the ia32 system call numbers when building the 64-bit kernel, but will be used by the x32 ABI in the near future.
This also removes some gratuitious differences between i386, x86-64 and ia32; in particular, now all system call tables are generated with the same mechanism.
