[PATCH 00/19] x86, mpx updates for 4.2 (take 7)

[Dave Hansen]

Note: this has been lightly tested.  There were no major changes
since the last version, and I ran my normal compile tests, but
this was a bit hurried because I'm about to get on a plane and
will not be reading email for the next week.

Changes from take 7 / v21:
 * Address a bunch of Thomas's review comments.

Changes from take 5 / v20:

 * Fix get_xsave_addr() to consult xstate_bv in anticipation
   of fixes to xsave code.
 * Bug fix for when an VMA being unmapped has neighbors which
   are bounds tables.
 * Rewrite unmapping code.  I didn't do this lightly. It was
   not originally my own code, and I resisted changing it
   because it worked.  But, I started bug chasing and decided
   it was unmaintainable.  The rewrite ended up removing
   about 20% of the unmapping code and made it much simpler.

Changes from take 4 / v19:

 * Do not pass a task_struct around when we are
   really just going to operate on current

Changes from take 3 / v18 (all minor):

 * use DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS()/DEFINE_EVENT() for
   the ranged tracepoints to save 10 lines of code.

Changes from take 2 / v17 (all minor):

 * fix a couple of whitespace borkages caught by checkpatch,
   and a spelling error or two.
 * replace printk with pr_info() for boot disable
 * change trace print format for address intervals
 * fix up variable name in tsk_get_xsave_addr() comment
 * remove tsk_get_xsave_field() GPL export
 * fix up Qiaowei's From:

Hi x86 maintainers,

There are a few basic things going on here:
1. Make FPU/xsave code preempt safe and work properly
2. Add trace points to make kernel and app debugging easier
3. Add a boot-time disable for mpx
4. Rewrite the unmapping code.
5. Support 32-bit binaries to run on 64-bit kernels

This sees breakage unless either booted with 'noxsaves'
or if it has Fenghua's set from here applied:

[PATCH 01/19] x86, mpx, xsave: Fix up bad get_xsave_addr() assumptions

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

get_xsave_addr() assumes that if an xsave bit is present in the
hardware (pcntxt_mask) that it is present in a given xsave
buffer.  Due to an bug in the xsave code on all of the systems
that have MPX (and thus all the users of this code), that has
been a true assumption.

But, the bug is getting fixed, so our assumption is not going
to hold any more.

It's quite possible (and normal) for an enabled state to be
present on 'pcntxt_mask', but *not* in 'xstate_bv'.  We need
to consult 'xstate_bv'.

[PATCH 02/19] x86, fpu: Wrap get_xsave_addr() to make it safer

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

The MPX code appears to be saving off the FPU in an unsafe
way.  It does not disable preemption or ensure that the
FPU state has been allocated.  All of the preemption safety
comes from the unfortunatley-named 'unlazy_fpu()'.

This patch introduces a new helper which will do both of
those things internally.

Note that this requires a patch from Oleg in order to work
properly.  It is currently in tip/x86/fpu.

[PATCH 03/19] x86, mpx: Use new get_xsave_field_ptr()

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

The MPX registers (bndcsr/bndcfgu/bndstatus) are not directly
accessible via normal instructions.  They essentially act as
if they were floating point registers and are saved/restored
along with those registers.

There are two main paths in the MPX code where we care about
the contents of these registers:
	1. #BR (bounds) faults
	2. the prctl() code where we are setting MPX up

Both of those paths _might_ be called without the FPU having
been used.  That means that 'tsk->thread.fpu.state' might
never be allocated.

Also, fpu_save_init() is not preempt-safe.  It was a bug to
call it without disabling preemption.  The new
get_xsave_addr() calls unlazy_fpu() instead and properly
disables preemption.

instance, enable MPX management in another process or thread.
You can also not handle a fault for another process or thread.

Despite this, we pass a task_struct around prolifically.  This
patch removes all of the task struct passing for code paths where
the code can not deal with another task (which turns out to be
all of them).

This has no functional changes.  It's just a cleanup.

[PATCH 07/19] x86, mpx: boot-time disable

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

MPX has the _potential_ to cause some issues.  Say part of your init
system tried to protect one of its components from buffer overflows
with MPX.  If there were a false positive, it's possible that MPX
could keep a system from booting.

MPX could also potentially cause performance issues since it is
present in hot paths like the unmap path.

Allow it to be disabled at boot time.

[PATCH 08/19] x86, mpx: trace #BR exceptions

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

This is the first in a series of MPX tracing patches.
I've found these extremely useful in the process of
debugging applications and the kernel code itself.

This exception hooks in to the bounds (#BR) exception
very early and allows capturing the key registers which
would influence how the exception is handled.

Note that bndcfgu/bndstatus are technically still
64-bit registers even in 32-bit mode.

[PATCH 09/19] x86, mpx: trace entry to bounds exception paths

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

There are two basic things that can happen as the result of
a bounds exception (#BR):

	1. We allocate a new bounds table
	2. We pass up a bounds exception to userspace.

This patch adds a trace point for the case where we are
passing the exception up to userspace with a signal.

We are also explicit that we're printing out the inverse of
the 'upper' that we encounter.  If you want to filter, for
instance, you need to ~ the value first.  The reason we do
this is because of how 'upper' is stored in the bounds table.
If a pointer's range is:

	0x1000 -> 0x2000

it is stored in the bounds table as (32-bits here for brevity):

	lower: 0x00001000
	upper: 0xffffdfff

That is so that an all 0's entry:

	lower: 0x00000000
	upper: 0x00000000

corresponds to the "init" bounds which store a *range* of:

	0x00000000 -> 0xffffffff

That is, by far, the common case, and that lets us use the
zero page, or deduplicate the memory, etc... The 'upper'
stored in the table is gibberish to print by itself, so we
print ~upper to get the *actual*, logical, human-readable
value printed out.

[PATCH 11/19] x86, mpx: trace allocation of new bounds tables

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

Bounds tables are a significant consumer of memory.  It is important
to know when they are being allocated.  Add a trace point to trace
whenever an allocation occurs and also its virtual address.

[PATCH 10/19] x86, mpx: Trace the attempts to find bounds tables

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

There are two different events being traced here.  They are
doing similar things so share a trace "EVENT_CLASS" and are
presented together.

1. Trace when MPX is zapping pages "mpx_unmap_zap":

	When MPX can not free an entire bounds table, it will
	instead try to zap unused parts of a bounds table to free
	the backing memory.  This decreases RSS (resident set
	size) without decreasing the virtual space allocated
	for bounds tables.

2. Trace attempts to find bounds tables "mpx_unmap_search":

	This event traces any time we go looking to unmap a
	bounds table for a given virtual address range.  This is
	useful to ensure that the kernel actually "tried" to free
	a bounds table versus times it succeeded in finding one.

	It might try and fail if it realized that a table was
	shared with an adjacent VMA which is not being unmapped.

[PATCH 13/19] x86, mpx: Add temporary variable to reduce masking

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

When we allocate a bounds table, we call mmap(), then add a
"valid" bit to the value before storing it in to the bounds
directory.

If we fail along the way, we go and mask that valid bit
_back_ out.  That seems a little silly, and this makes it
much more clear when we have a plain address versus an
actual table _entry_.

[PATCH 12/19] x86: make is_64bit_mm() widely available

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

The uprobes code has a nice helper, is_64bit_mm(), that consults both
the runtime and compile-time flags for 32-bit support.  Instead of
reinventing the wheel, pull it in to an x86 header so we can use it
for MPX.

I prefer passing the mm around to test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) because
it makes it explicit where the context is coming from.

[PATCH 17/19] x86, mpx: rewrite unmap code

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

The MPX code needs to clear out bounds tables for memory which
is no longer in use.  We do this when a userspace mapping is
torn down (unmapped).

There are two modes:
1. An entire bounds table becomes unused, and can be freed
   and its pointer removed from the bounds directory.  This
   happens either when a large mapping is torn down, or when
   a small mapping is torn down and it is the last mapping
   "covered" by a bounds table.
2. Only part of a bounds table becomes unused, in which case
   we free the backing memory as if MADV_DONTNEED was called.

The old code was a spaghetti mess of "edge" bounds tables
where the edges were handled specially, even if we were
unmapping an entire one.  Non-edge bounds tables are always
fully unmapped, but share a different code path from the edge
ones.  The old code had a bug where it was unmapping too much
memory.  I worked on fixing it for two days and gave up.

I didn't write the original code.  I didn't particularly like
it, but it worked, so I left it.  After my debug session, I
realized it was undebuggagle *and* buggy, so out it went.

I also wrote a new unmapping test program which uncovers bugs
pretty nicely.

[PATCH 15/19] x86, mpx: do 32-bit-only cmpxchg for 32-bit apps

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

user_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() actually looks at sizeof(*ptr) to
figure out how many bytes to copy.  If we run it on a 64-bit
kernel with a 64-bit pointer, it will copy a 64-bit bounds
directory entry.  That's fine, except when we have 32-bit
programs with 32-bit bounds directory entries and we only *want*
32-bits.

This patch breaks the cmpxchg operation out in to its own
function and performs the 32-bit type swizzling in there.

Note, the "64-bit" version of this code _would_ work on a
32-bit-only kernel.  The issue this patch addresses is only for
when the kernel's 'long' is mismatched from the size of the
bounds directory entry of the process we are working on.

The new helper modifies 'actual_old_val' or returns an error.
But gcc doesn't know this, so it warns about 'actual_old_val'
being unused.  Shut it up with an uninitialized_var().

 * correct type of bd_entry_addr from long -> unsigned long

[PATCH 14/19] x86, mpx: new directory entry to addr helper

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

Currently, to get from a bounds directory entry to the virtual
address of a bounds table, we simply mask off a few low bits.
However, the set of bits we mask off is different for 32 and
64-bit binaries.

This breaks the operation out in to a helper function and also
adds a temporary variable to store the result until we are
sure we are returning one.

[PATCH 16/19] x86, mpx: support 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernel

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

Right now, the kernel can only switch between 64-bit and 32-bit
binaries at compile time. This patch adds support for 32-bit
binaries on 64-bit kernels when we support ia32 emulation.

We essentially choose which set of table sizes to use when doing
arithmetic for the bounds table calculations.

This also uses a different approach for calculating the table
indexes than before.  I think the new one makes it much more
clear what is going on, and allows us to share more code between
the 32 and 64-bit cases.

--

Changes from v21:
 * remove old comment
 * add a comment about why the masks are OK
 * use cpu_info->x86_virt_bits
 * add comment about lack of 32-bit hole

Changes from v20:

 * Fix macro confusion between BD and BT
 * Add accessor for bt_entry_size_bytes()

[PATCH 18/19] x86, mpx: do not count MPX VMAs as neighbors when unmapping

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

The comment pretty much says it all.

I wrote a test program that does lots of random allocations
and forces bounds tables to be created.  It came up with a
layout like this:

  ....   | BOUNDS DIRECTORY ENTRY COVERS |  ....
         |    BOUNDS TABLE COVERS        |
|  BOUNDS TABLE |  REAL ALLOC | BOUNDS TABLE |

Unmapping "REAL ALLOC" should have been able to free the
bounds table "covering" the "REAL ALLOC" because it was the
last real user.  But, the neighboring VMA bounds tables were
found, considered as real neighbors, and we declined to free
the bounds table covering the area.

Doing this over and over left a small but significant number
of these orphans.  Handling them is fairly straighforward.
All we have to do is walk the VMAs and skip all of the MPX
ones when looking for neighbors.

Yeah, so as a first step, could you please test that the patch below 
solves the crashes as well, without having to specify 'noxsaves' on 
the boot line?

That would make it possible to apply your MPX fixes to v4.2, 
independently of the work to re-enable proper XSAVES support.

Please also merge your queue on top of tip:x86/fpu (or tip/master).

Thanks,

	Ingo

Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu: Disable XSAVES* support for now

The kernel's handling of 'compacted' xsave state layout is buggy:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=142967852317199

I don't have such a system, and the description there is vague, but
from extrapolation I guess that there were two kinds of bugs
observed:

  - boot crashes, due to size calculations being wrong and the dynamic
    allocation allocating a too small xstate area. (This is now fixed
    in the new FPU code - but still present in stable kernels.)

  - FPU state corruption and ABI breakage: if signal handlers try to
    change the FPU state in standard format, which then the kernel
    tries to restore in the compacted format.

These breakages are scary, but they only occur on a small number of
systems that have XSAVES* CPU support. Yet we have had XSAVES support
in the upstream kernel for a large number of stable kernel releases,
and the fixes are involved and unproven.

So do the safe resolution first: disable XSAVES* support and only
use the standard xstate format. This makes the code work and is
easy to backport.

On top of this we can work on enabling (and testing!) proper
compacted format support, without backporting pressure, on top of the
new, cleaned up FPU code.

Yes, that does seem to make it happy in lieu of Fenghua's patches.

FWIW, I think it would be prudent to also clear X86_FEATURE_XSAVEC.

All of the issues I am aware of are related to the compact format, not
'xsaves' itself (although 'xsaves' does *use* the compact format of course).

The XSAVEC bit is the one that technically indicates the compact format
support, although I don't think there is any actual use of it in the
kernel at present.

Great, thanks for testing it! I'll send it to Linus as part of x86/urgent.

Ok, we can do that as well - but it's technically not needed to keep the kernel 
from generating compact format FPU saves.

I'd also hope we can restore compact format handling soon-ish.

Yeah.
