ptrace: Introduce exception_ip arch hook

On architectures with delay slot, architecture level instruction
pointer (or program counter) in pt_regs may differ from where
exception was triggered.

Introduce exception_ip hook to invoke architecture code and determine
actual instruction pointer to the exception.

xtensa is the last user of the PT_SINGLESTEP flag. Changing tsk->ptrace in

potentiallly cause problems.

So use a thread info flag instead of a flag in tsk->ptrace. Use TIF_SINGLESTEP
that xtensa already had defined but unused.

Remove the definitions of PT_SINGLESTEP and PT_BLOCKSTEP as they have no more users.

ptrace: Return the signal to continue with from ptrace_stop

The signal a task should continue with after a ptrace stop is
inconsistently read, cleared, and sent. Solve this by reading and
clearing the signal to be sent in ptrace_stop.

In an ideal world everything except ptrace_signal would share a common
implementation of continuing with the signal, so ptracers could count
on the signal they ask to continue with actually being delivered. For
now retain bug compatibility and just return with the signal number
the ptracer requested the code continue with.

ptrace: Move setting/clearing ptrace_message into ptrace_stop

Today ptrace_message is easy to overlook as it not a core part of
ptrace_stop. It has been overlooked so much that there are places
that set ptrace_message and don't clear it, and places that never set
it. So if you get an unlucky sequence of events the ptracer may be
able to read a ptrace_message that does not apply to the current
ptrace stop.

Move setting of ptrace_message into ptrace_stop so that it always gets
set before the stop, and always gets cleared after the stop. This
prevents non-sense from being reported to userspace and makes
ptrace_message more visible in the ptrace helper functions so that
kernel developers can see it.

ptrace: Remove the unnecessary arguments from arch_ptrace_stop

Both arch_ptrace_stop_needed and arch_ptrace_stop are called with an
exit_code and a siginfo structure. Neither argument is used by any of
the implementations so just remove the unneeded arguments.

The two arechitectures that implement arch_ptrace_stop are ia64 and
sparc. Both architectures flush their register stacks before a
ptrace_stack so that all of the register information can be accessed
by debuggers.

As the question of if a register stack needs to be flushed is
independent of why ptrace is stopping not needing arguments make sense.

signal: Remove the signal number and task parameters from force_sig_info

force_sig_info always delivers to the current task and the signal
parameter always matches info.si_signo. So remove those parameters to
make it a simpler less error prone interface, and to make it clear
that none of the callers are doing anything clever.

This guarantees that force_sig_info will not grow any new buggy
callers that attempt to call force_sig on a non-current task, or that
pass an signal number that does not match info.si_signo.

ptrace: Remove maxargs from task_current_syscall()

task_current_syscall() has a single user that passes in 6 for maxargs, which
is the maximum arguments that can be used to get system calls from
syscall_get_arguments(). Instead of passing in a number of arguments to
grab, just get 6 arguments. The args argument even specifies that it's an
array of 6 items.

This will also allow changing syscall_get_arguments() to not get a variable
number of arguments, but always grab 6.

Linus also suggested not passing in a bunch of arguments to
task_current_syscall() but to instead pass in a pointer to a structure, and
just fill the structure. struct seccomp_data has almost all the parameters
that is needed except for the stack pointer (sp). As seccomp_data is part of
uapi, and I'm afraid to change it, a new structure was created
"syscall_info", which includes seccomp_data and adds the "sp" field.

x86/headers: Fix -Wmissing-prototypes warning

When building the kernel with W=1 we get a lot of -Wmissing-prototypes
warnings, which are trivial in nature and easy to fix - and which may
mask some real future bugs if the prototypes get out of sync with
the function definition.

the subdirectories.

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.

x86/speculation: Apply IBPB more strictly to avoid cross-process data leak

Currently, IBPB is only issued in cases when switching into a non-dumpable
process, the rationale being to protect such 'important and security
sensitive' processess (such as GPG) from data leaking into a different
userspace process via spectre v2.

This is however completely insufficient to provide proper userspace-to-userpace
spectrev2 protection, as any process can poison branch buffers before being
scheduled out, and the newly scheduled process immediately becomes spectrev2
victim.

In order to minimize the performance impact (for usecases that do require
spectrev2 protection), issue the barrier only in cases when switching between
processess where the victim can't be ptraced by the potential attacker (as in
such cases, the attacker doesn't have to bother with branch buffers at all).

signal: Simplify tracehook_report_syscall_exit

Replace user_single_step_siginfo with user_single_step_report
that allocates siginfo structure on the stack and sends it.

This allows tracehook_report_syscall_exit to become a simple
if statement that calls user_single_step_report or ptrace_report_syscall
depending on the value of step.

Update the default helper function now called user_single_step_report
to explicitly set si_code to SI_USER and to set si_uid and si_pid to 0.
The default helper has always been doing this (using memset) but it
was far from obvious.

The powerpc helper can now just call force_sig_fault.
The x86 helper can now just call send_sigtrap.

Unfortunately the default implementation of user_single_step_report
can not use force_sig_fault as it does not use a SIGTRAP si_code.
So it has to carefully setup the siginfo and use use force_sig_info.

The net result is code that is easier to understand and simpler
to maintain.

signal: Ensure every siginfo we send has all bits initialized

Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly
initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions.

Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct
siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when
initializing a structure.

The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit
was moved from the helper user_single_step_siginfo into
tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local
variable siginfo gets fully initialized.

In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it
clear that siginfo siginfo is not used on other paths in the function
in which it is declared.

Instances of using memset to initialize siginfo have been replaced
with calls clear_siginfo for clarity.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

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.

ptrace: Properly initialize ptracer_cred on fork

When I introduced ptracer_cred I failed to consider the weirdness of
fork where the task_struct copies the old value by default. This
winds up leaving ptracer_cred set even when a process forks and
the child process does not wind up being ptraced.

Because ptracer_cred is not set on non-ptraced processes whose
parents were ptraced this has broken the ability of the enlightenment
window manager to start setuid children.

Fix this by properly initializing ptracer_cred in ptrace_init_task

This must be done with a little bit of care to preserve the current value
of ptracer_cred when ptrace carries through fork. Re-reading the
ptracer_cred from the ptracing process at this point is inconsistent
with how PT_PTRACE_CAP has been maintained all of these years.

ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm

It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not
readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to
read the file. This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace
is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only
executables.

As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm
spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the
target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or
the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing
began to read the target processes mm.

In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by
ptrace_access_vm. There remain several ptrace sites that still use
access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables
instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks. As such it
does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls.

This bug has always existed in Linux.
