The syzbot-reported stack trace from hell in this discussion thread
actually has three nested page faults:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/000000000000d5f4fc0616e816d4@google.com
... and I think that's actually the important thing here:
- the first page fault is from user space, and triggers the vsyscall
emulation.
- the second page fault is from __do_sys_gettimeofday(), and that should
just have caused the exception that then sets the return value to
-EFAULT
- the third nested page fault is due to _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() ->
preempt_schedule() -> trace_sched_switch(), which then causes a BPF
trace program to run, which does that bpf_probe_read_compat(), which
causes that page fault under pagefault_disable().
It's quite the nasty backtrace, and there's a lot going on.
The problem is literally the vsyscall emulation, which sets
current->thread.sig_on_uaccess_err = 1;
and that causes the fixup_exception() code to send the signal *despite* the
exception being caught.
And I think that is in fact completely bogus. It's completely bogus
exactly because it sends that signal even when it *shouldn't* be sent -
like for the BPF user mode trace gathering.
In other words, I think the whole "sig_on_uaccess_err" thing is entirely
broken, because it makes any nested page-faults do all the wrong things.
Now, arguably, I don't think anybody should enable vsyscall emulation any
more, but this test case clearly does.
I think we should just make the "send SIGSEGV" be something that the
vsyscall emulation does on its own, not this broken per-thread state for
something that isn't actually per thread.
The x86 page fault code actually tried to deal with the "incorrect nesting"
by having that:
if (in_interrupt())
return;
which ignores the sig_on_uaccess_err case when it happens in interrupts,
but as shown by this example, these nested page faults do not need to be
about interrupts at all.
IOW, I think the only right thing is to remove that horrendously broken
code.
The attached patch looks like the ObviouslyCorrect(tm) thing to do.
NOTE! This broken code goes back to this commit in 2011:
4fc3490114 ("x86-64: Set siginfo and context on vsyscall emulation faults")
... and back then the reason was to get all the siginfo details right.
Honestly, I do not for a moment believe that it's worth getting the siginfo
details right here, but part of the commit says:
This fixes issues with UML when vsyscall=emulate.
... and so my patch to remove this garbage will probably break UML in this
situation.
I do not believe that anybody should be running with vsyscall=emulate in
2024 in the first place, much less if you are doing things like UML. But
let's see if somebody screams.

With 'iommu=off' on the kernel command line and x2APIC enabled by the BIOS
the code which disables the x2APIC triggers an unchecked MSR access error:
RDMSR from 0x802 at rIP: 0xffffffff94079992 (native_apic_msr_read+0x12/0x50)
This is happens because default_acpi_madt_oem_check() selects an x2APIC
driver before the x2APIC is disabled.
When the x2APIC is disabled because interrupt remapping cannot be enabled
due to 'iommu=off' on the command line, x2apic_disable() invokes
apic_set_fixmap() which in turn tries to read the APIC ID. This triggers
the MSR warning because x2APIC is disabled, but the APIC driver is still
x2APIC based.
Prevent that by adding an argument to apic_set_fixmap() which makes the
APIC ID read out conditional and set it to false from the x2APIC disable
path. That's correct as the APIC ID has already been read out during early
discovery.

During interrupt affinity change, it is possible to have interrupts delivered
to the old CPU after the affinity has changed to the new one. To prevent lost
interrupts, local APIC IRR is checked on the old CPU. Similar checks must be
done for posted MSIs given the same reason.
Consider the following scenario:
Device system agent iommu memory CPU/LAPIC
1 FEEX_XXXX
2 Interrupt request
3 Fetch IRTE ->
4 ->Atomic Swap PID.PIR(vec)
Push to Global Observable(GO)
5 if (ON*)
done;*
else
6 send a notification ->
* ON: outstanding notification, 1 will suppress new notifications
If the affinity change happens between 3 and 5 in the IOMMU, the old CPU's
posted interrupt request (PIR) could have the pending bit set for the
vector being moved.
Add a helper function to check individual vector status. Then use the
helper to check for pending interrupts on the source CPU's PID.

All MSI vectors are multiplexed into a single notification vector when
posted MSI is enabled. It is the responsibility of the notification vector
handler to demultiplex MSI vectors. In the handler the MSI vector handlers
are dispatched without IDT delivery for each pending MSI interrupt.
For example, the interrupt flow will change as follows:
(3 MSIs of different vectors arrive in a a high frequency burst)
BEFORE:
interrupt(MSI)
irq_enter()
handler() /* EOI */
irq_exit()
process_softirq()
interrupt(MSI)
irq_enter()
handler() /* EOI */
irq_exit()
process_softirq()
interrupt(MSI)
irq_enter()
handler() /* EOI */
irq_exit()
process_softirq()
AFTER:
interrupt /* Posted MSI notification vector */
irq_enter()
atomic_xchg(PIR)
handler()
handler()
handler()
pi_clear_on()
apic_eoi()
irq_exit()
process_softirq()
Except for the leading MSI, CPU notifications are skipped/coalesced.
For MSIs which arrive at a low frequency, the demultiplexing loop does not
wait for more interrupts to coalesce. Therefore, there's no additional
latency other than the processing time.

When the BIOS configures the architectural TSC-adjust MSRs on secondary
sockets to correct a constant inter-chassis offset, after Linux brings the
cores online, the TSC sync check later resets the core-local MSR to 0,
triggering HPET fallback and leading to performance loss.
Fix this by unconditionally using the initial adjust values read from the
MSRs. Trusting the initial offsets in this architectural mechanism is a
better approach than special-casing workarounds for specific platforms.

Handle cases where the RMP table placement in the BIOS is not 2M aligned
and the kexec-ed kernel could try to allocate from within that chunk
which then causes a fatal RMP fault.
The kexec failure is illustrated below:
SEV-SNP: RMP table physical range [0x0000007ffe800000 - 0x000000807f0fffff]
BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000008efff] usable
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000000008f000-0x000000000008ffff] ACPI NVS

BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000807f100000-0x000000807f1fefff] usable
As seen here in the e820 memory map, the end range of the RMP table is not
aligned to 2MB and not reserved but it is usable as RAM.
Subsequently, kexec -s (KEXEC_FILE_LOAD syscall) loads it's purgatory
code and boot_param, command line and other setup data into this RAM
region as seen in the kexec logs below, which leads to fatal RMP fault
during kexec boot.

When a load is marked PROBE_MEM - e.g. due to PTR_UNTRUSTED access - the
address being loaded from is not necessarily valid. The BPF jit sets up
exception handlers for each such load which catch page faults and 0 out
the destination register.
If the address for the load is outside kernel address space, the load
will escape the exception handling and crash the kernel. To prevent this
from happening, the emits some instruction to verify that addr is > end
of userspace addresses.
x86 has a legacy vsyscall ABI where a page at address 0xffffffffff600000
is mapped with user accessible permissions. The addresses in this page
are considered userspace addresses by the fault handler. Therefore, a
BPF program accessing this page will crash the kernel.
This patch fixes the runtime checks to also check that the PROBE_MEM
address is below VSYSCALL_ADDR.
Example BPF program:
SEC("fentry/tcp_v4_connect")
int BPF_PROG(fentry_tcp_v4_connect, struct sock *sk)
{
*(volatile unsigned long *)&sk->sk_tsq_flags;
return 0;

The mm_struct contains a function pointer *get_unmapped_area(), which is
set to either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
during the initialization of the mm.
Since the function pointer only ever points to two functions that are
named the same across all arch's, a function pointer is not really
required. In addition future changes will want to add versions of the
functions that take additional arguments. So to save a pointers worth of
bytes in mm_struct, and prevent adding additional function pointers to
mm_struct in future changes, remove it and keep the information about
which get_unmapped_area() to use in a flag.
Add the new flag to MMF_INIT_MASK so it doesn't get clobbered on fork by
mmf_init_flags(). Most MM flags get clobbered on fork. In the
pre-existing behavior mm->get_unmapped_area() would get copied to the new
mm in dup_mm(), so not clobbering the flag preserves the existing behavior
around inheriting the topdown-ness.
Introduce a helper, mm_get_unmapped_area(), to easily convert code that
refers to the old function pointer to instead select and call either
arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() based on the
flag. Then drop the mm->get_unmapped_area() function pointer. Leave the
get_unmapped_area() pointer in struct file_operations alone. The main
purpose of this change is to reorganize in preparation for future changes,
but it also converts the calls of mm->get_unmapped_area() from indirect
branches into a direct ones.
The stress-ng bigheap benchmark calls realloc a lot, which calls through
get_unmapped_area() in the kernel. On x86, the change yielded a ~1%
improvement there on a retpoline config.
In testing a few x86 configs, removing the pointer unfortunately didn't
result in any actual size reductions in the compiled layout of mm_struct.
But depending on compiler or arch alignment requirements, the change could
shrink the size of mm_struct.
