28f5df210d random: vDSO: reject unknown getrandom() flags
Like the getrandom() syscall, vDSO getrandom() must also reject unknown
flags. [1]

It would be possible to return -EINVAL from vDSO itself, but in the
possible case that a new flag is added to getrandom() syscall in the
future, it would be easier to get the behavior from the syscall, instead
of erroring until the vDSO is extended to support the new flag or
explicitly falling back.

Merge tag 'random-6.11-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "This adds getrandom() support to the vDSO.

  First, it adds a new kind of mapping to mmap(2), MAP_DROPPABLE, which
  lets the kernel zero out pages anytime under memory pressure, which
  enables allocating memory that never gets swapped to disk but also
  doesn't count as being mlocked.

  Then, the vDSO implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a
  generic manner and hooked into random.c.

  Next, this is implemented on x86. (Also, though it's not ready for
  this pull, somebody has begun an arm64 implementation already)

  Finally, two vDSO selftests are added.

  There are also two housekeeping cleanup commits"

4ad10a5f5f random: introduce generic vDSO getrandom() implementation
Provide a generic C vDSO getrandom() implementation, which operates on
an opaque state returned by vgetrandom_alloc() and produces random bytes
the same way as getrandom(). This has the following API signature:

  ssize_t vgetrandom(void *buffer, size_t len, unsigned int flags,
                     void *opaque_state, size_t opaque_len);

The return value and the first three arguments are the same as ordinary
getrandom(), while the last two arguments are a pointer to the opaque
allocated state and its size. Were all five arguments passed to the
getrandom() syscall, nothing different would happen, and the functions
would have the exact same behavior.

The actual vDSO RNG algorithm implemented is the same one implemented by
drivers/char/random.c, using the same fast-erasure techniques as that.
Should the in-kernel implementation change, so too will the vDSO one.

It requires an implementation of ChaCha20 that does not use any stack,
in order to maintain forward secrecy if a multi-threaded program forks
(though this does not account for a similar issue with SA_SIGINFO
copying registers to the stack), so this is left as an
architecture-specific fill-in. Stack-less ChaCha20 is an easy algorithm
to implement on a variety of architectures, so this shouldn't be too
onerous.

Initially, the state is keyless, and so the first call makes a
getrandom() syscall to generate that key, and then uses it for
subsequent calls. By keeping track of a generation counter, it knows
when its key is invalidated and it should fetch a new one using the
syscall. Later, more than just a generation counter might be used.

Since MADV_WIPEONFORK is set on the opaque state, the key and related
state is wiped during a fork(), so secrets don't roll over into new
processes, and the same state doesn't accidentally generate the same
random stream. The generation counter, as well, is always >0, so that
the 0 counter is a useful indication of a fork() or otherwise
uninitialized state.

If the kernel RNG is not yet initialized, then the vDSO always calls the
syscall, because that behavior cannot be emulated in userspace, but
fortunately that state is short lived and only during early boot. If it
has been initialized, then there is no need to inspect the `flags`
argument, because the behavior does not change post-initialization
regardless of the `flags` value.

Since the opaque state passed to it is mutated, vDSO getrandom() is not
reentrant, when used with the same opaque state, which libc should be
mindful of.

The function works over an opaque per-thread state of a particular size,
which must be marked VM_WIPEONFORK, VM_DONTDUMP, VM_NORESERVE, and
VM_DROPPABLE for proper operation. Over time, the nuances of these
allocations may change or grow or even differ based on architectural
features.

The opaque state passed to vDSO getrandom() must be allocated using the
mmap_flags and mmap_prot parameters provided by the vgetrandom_opaque_params
struct, which also contains the size of each state. That struct can be
obtained with a call to vgetrandom(NULL, 0, 0, &params, ~0UL). Then,
libc can call mmap(2) and slice up the returned array into a state per
each thread, while ensuring that no single state straddles a page
boundary. Libc is expected to allocate a chunk of these on first use,
and then dole them out to threads as they're created, allocating more
when needed.

vDSO getrandom() provides the ability for userspace to generate random
bytes quickly and safely, and is intended to be integrated into libc's
thread management. As an illustrative example, the introduced code in
the vdso_test_getrandom self test later in this series might be used to
do the same outside of libc. In a libc the various pthread-isms are
expected to be elided into libc internals.

456e3788bc vdso: Make delta calculation overflow safe
Kernel timekeeping is designed to keep the change in cycles (since the last
timer interrupt) below max_cycles, which prevents multiplication overflow
when converting cycles to nanoseconds. However, if timer interrupts stop,
the calculation will eventually overflow.

Add protection against that, enabled by config option
CONFIG_GENERIC_VDSO_OVERFLOW_PROTECT. Check against max_cycles, falling
back to a slower higher precision calculation.

aff69273af vdso: Improve cmd_vdso_check to check all dynamic relocations
The actual intention is that no dynamic relocation exists in the VDSO. For
this the VDSO build validates that the resulting .so file does not have any
relocations which are specified via $(ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS) per architecture,
which is fragile as e.g. ARM64 lacks an entry for R_AARCH64_RELATIVE. Aside
of that ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS is a misnomer as it checks for relative
relocations too.

However, some GNU ld ports produce unneeded R_*_NONE relocation entries. If
a port fails to determine the exact .rel[a].dyn size, the trailing zeros
become R_*_NONE relocations. E.g. ld's powerpc port recently fixed
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29540). R_*_NONE are
generally a no-op in the dynamic loaders. So just ignore them.

Remove the ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS defines and just validate that the resulting
.so file does not contain any R_* relocation entries except R_*_NONE.

4c5a116ada vdso/treewide: Add vdso_data pointer argument to __arch_get_hw_counter()
MIPS already uses and S390 will need the vdso data pointer in
__arch_get_hw_counter().

This works nicely as long as the architecture does not support time
namespaces in the VDSO. With time namespaces enabled the regular
accessor to the vdso data pointer __arch_get_vdso_data() will return the
namespace specific VDSO data page for tasks which are part of a
non-root time namespace. This would cause the architectures which need
the vdso data pointer in __arch_get_hw_counter() to access the wrong
vdso data page.

Add a vdso_data pointer argument to __arch_get_hw_counter() and hand it in
from the call sites in the core code. For architectures which do not need
the data pointer in their counter accessor function the compiler will just
optimize it out.

Fix up all existing architecture implementations and make MIPS utilize the
pointer instead of invoking the accessor function.

No functional change and no change in the resulting object code (except
MIPS).

72ce778007 lib/vdso: Provide sanity check for cycles (again)
The original x86 VDSO implementation checked for the validity of the clock
source read by testing whether the returned signed cycles value is less
than zero. This check was also used by the vdso read function to signal
that the current selected clocksource is not VDSO capable.

During the rework of the VDSO code the check was removed and replaced with
a check for the clocksource mode being != NONE.

This turned out to be a mistake because the check is necessary for paravirt
and hyperv clock sources. The reason is that these clock sources have their
own internal sequence counter to validate the clocksource at the point of
reading it. This is necessary because the hypervisor can invalidate the
clocksource asynchronously so a check during the VDSO data update is not
sufficient. Having a separate indicator for the validity is slower than
just validating the cycles value. The check for it being negative turned
out to be the fastest implementation and safe as it would require an uptime
of ~73 years with a 4GHz counter frequency to result in a false positive.

Add an optional function to validate the cycles with a default
implementation which allows the compiler to optimize it out for
architectures which do not require it.

b91c8c42ff lib/vdso: Force inlining of __cvdso_clock_gettime_common()
When adding gettime64() to a 32 bit architecture (namely powerpc/32)
it has been noticed that GCC doesn't inline anymore
__cvdso_clock_gettime_common() because it is called twice
(Once by __cvdso_clock_gettime() and once by
__cvdso_clock_gettime32).

This has the effect of seriously degrading the performance:

Before the implementation of gettime64(), gettime() runs in:

  clock-gettime-monotonic-raw:	    vdso: 1003 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:   vdso:  592 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic:          vdso:  942 nsec/call

When adding a gettime64() entry point, the standard gettime()
performance is degraded by 30% to 50%:

  clock-gettime-monotonic-raw:      vdso: 1300 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:   vdso:  900 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic:          vdso: 1232 nsec/call

Adding __always_inline() to __cvdso_clock_gettime_common() regains the
original performance.

In terms of code size, the inlining increases the code size by only 176
bytes. This is in the noise for a kernel image.

e876f0b69d lib/vdso: Allow architectures to provide the vdso data pointer
On powerpc, __arch_get_vdso_data() clobbers the link register, requiring
the caller to save it.

As the parent function already has to set a stack frame and saves the link
register before calling the C vdso function, retrieving the vdso data
pointer there is less overhead.

Split out the functional code from the __cvdso.*() interfaces into new
static functions which can either be called from the existing interfaces
with the vdso data pointer supplied via __arch_get_vdso_data() or directly
from ASM code.

8345228ccf lib/vdso: Allow architectures to override the ns shift operation
On powerpc/32, GCC (8.1) generates pretty bad code for the ns >>= vd->shift
operation taking into account that the shift is always <= 32 and the upper
part of the result is likely to be zero. GCC makes reversed assumptions
considering the shift to be likely >= 32 and the upper part to be like not
zero.

unsigned long long shift(unsigned long long x, unsigned char s)
{
	return x >> s;
}

results in:

00000018 <shift>:

660fd04f93 lib/vdso: Prepare for time namespace support
To support time namespaces in the vdso with a minimal impact on regular non
time namespace affected tasks, the namespace handling needs to be hidden in
a slow path.

The most obvious place is vdso_seq_begin(). If a task belongs to a time
namespace then the VVAR page which contains the system wide vdso data is
replaced with a namespace specific page which has the same layout as the
VVAR page. That page has vdso_data->seq set to 1 to enforce the slow path
and vdso_data->clock_mode set to VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time
namespace handling path.

The extra check in the case that vdso_data->seq is odd, e.g. a concurrent
update of the vdso data is in progress, is not really affecting regular
tasks which are not part of a time namespace as the task is spin waiting
for the update to finish and vdso_data->seq to become even again.

If a time namespace task hits that code path, it invokes the corresponding
time getter function which retrieves the real VVAR page, reads host time
and then adds the offset for the requested clock which is stored in the
special VVAR page.

If VDSO time namespace support is disabled the whole magic is compiled out.

Initial testing shows that the disabled case is almost identical to the
host case which does not take the slow timens path. With the special timens
page installed the performance hit is constant time and in the range of
5-7%.

For the vdso functions which are not using the sequence count an
unconditional check for vdso_data->clock_mode is added which switches to
the real vdso when the clock_mode is VCLOCK_TIMENS.

[avagin: Make do_hres_timens() work with raw clocks too: choose vdso_data
 pointer by CS_RAW offset.]

pointer will cause a segfault. So special casing NULL is not really useful.

Remove it along with the superflouos syscall fallback invocation as that

9d90b93bf3 lib/vdso: Make delta calculation work correctly
The x86 vdso implementation on which the generic vdso library is based on
has subtle (unfortunately undocumented) twists:

 1) The code assumes that the clocksource mask is U64_MAX which means that
    no bits are masked. Which is true for any valid x86 VDSO clocksource.
    Stupidly it still did the mask operation for no reason and at the wrong
    place right after reading the clocksource.

 2) It contains a sanity check to catch the case where slightly
    unsynchronized TSC values can be observed which would cause the delta
    calculation to make a huge jump. It therefore checks whether the
    current TSC value is larger than the value on which the current
    conversion is based on. If it's not larger the base value is used to
    prevent time jumps.

#1 Is not only stupid for the X86 case because it does the masking for no
reason it is also completely wrong for clocksources with a smaller mask
which can legitimately wrap around during a conversion period. The core
timekeeping code does it correct by applying the mask after the delta
calculation:

	(now - base) & mask

#2 is equally broken for clocksources which have smaller masks and can wrap
around during a conversion period because there the now > base check is
just wrong and causes stale time stamps and time going backwards issues.

Unbreak it by:

  1) Removing the mask operation from the clocksource read which makes the
     fallback detection work for all clocksources

  2) Replacing the conditional delta calculation with a overrideable inline
     function.

#2 could reuse clocksource_delta() from the timekeeping code but that
results in a significant performance hit for the x86 VSDO. The timekeeping
core code must have the non optimized version as it has to operate
correctly with clocksources which have smaller masks as well to handle the
case where TSC is discarded as timekeeper clocksource and replaced by HPET
or pmtimer. For the VDSO there is no replacement clocksource. If TSC is
unusable the syscall is enforced which does the right thing.

To accommodate to the needs of various architectures provide an
override-able inline function which defaults to the regular delta
calculation with masking:

	(now - base) & mask

Override it for x86 with the non-masking and checking version.

This unbreaks the ARM64 syscall fallback operation, allows to use
clocksources with arbitrary width and preserves the performance
optimization for x86.

629fdf77ac lib/vdso: Add compat support
Some 64 bit architectures have support for 32 bit applications that
require a separate version of the vDSOs.

Add support to the generic code for compat fallback functions.

00b26474c2 lib/vdso: Provide generic VDSO implementation
In the last few years the kernel gained quite some architecture specific
vdso implementations which contain very similar code.

Introduce a generic VDSO implementation of gettimeofday() which will be
shareable between architectures once they are converted over.

The implementation is based on the current x86 VDSO code.
