[PATCH v2 4/6] arm64/signal: Avoid corruption of SME state when entering signal handler

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We intend that signal handlers are entered with PSTATE.{SM,ZA}={0,0}.
The logic for this in setup_return() manipulates the saved state and
live CPU state in an unsafe manner, and consequently, when a task enters
a signal handler:

 * The task entering the signal handler might not have its PSTATE.{SM,ZA}
   bits cleared, and other register state that is affected by changes to
   PSTATE.{SM,ZA} might not be zeroed as expected.

 * An unrelated task might have its PSTATE.{SM,ZA} bits cleared
   unexpectedly, potentially zeroing other register state that is
   affected by changes to PSTATE.{SM,ZA}.

   Tasks which do not set PSTATE.{SM,ZA} (i.e. those only using plain
   FPSIMD or non-streaming SVE) are not affected, as there is no
   resulting change to PSTATE.{SM,ZA}.

Consider for example two tasks on one CPU:

 A: Begins signal entry in kernel mode, is preempted prior to SMSTOP.
 B: Using SM and/or ZA in userspace with register state current on the
    CPU, is preempted.
 A: Scheduled in, no register state changes made as in kernel mode.
 A: Executes SMSTOP, modifying live register state.
 A: Scheduled out.
 B: Scheduled in, fpsimd_thread_switch() sees the register state on the
    CPU is tracked as being that for task B so the state is not reloaded
    prior to returning to userspace.

Task B is now running with SM and ZA incorrectly cleared.

Fix this by:

 * Checking TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE, and only updating the saved or live
   state as appropriate.

 * Using {get,put}_cpu_fpsimd_context() to ensure mutual exclusion
   against other code which manipulates this state. To allow their use,
   the logic is moved into a new fpsimd_enter_sighandler() helper in
   fpsimd.c.

This race has been observed intermittently with fp-stress, especially
with preempt disabled, commonly but not exclusively reporting "Bad SVCR: 0".

While we're at it also fix a discrepancy between in register and in memory
entries. When operating on the register state we issue a SMSTOP, exiting
streaming mode if we were in it. This clears the V/Z and P register and
FPMR, and resets FPSR to 0x800009f but does not change ZA, ZT or FPCR.
The in memory version clears all the user FPSIMD state including FPCR
and FPSR but does not clear FPMR. Update the code to implement the
changes the hardware implements.
