x86/fpu: Fix 32-bit signal frame handling
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
(This should have gone to LKML originally. Sorry for the extra
 noise, folks on the cc.)

Background:

Signal frames on x86 have two formats:

  1. For 32-bit executables (whether on a real 32-bit kernel or
     under 32-bit emulation on a 64-bit kernel) we have a
    'fpregset_t' that includes the "FSAVE" registers.

  2. For 64-bit executables (on 64-bit kernels obviously), the
     'fpregset_t' is smaller and does not contain the "FSAVE"
     state.

When creating the signal frame, we have to be aware of whether
we are running a 32 or 64-bit executable so we create the
correct format signal frame.

Problem:

save_xstate_epilog() uses 'fx_sw_reserved_ia32' whenever it is
called for a 32-bit executable.  This is for real 32-bit and
ia32 emulation.

But, fpu__init_prepare_fx_sw_frame() only initializes
'fx_sw_reserved_ia32' when emulation is enabled, *NOT* for real
32-bit kernels.

This leads to really wierd situations where 32-bit programs
lose their extended state when returning from a signal handler.
The kernel copies the uninitialized (zero) 'fx_sw_reserved_ia32'
out to userspace in save_xstate_epilog().  But when returning
from the signal, the kernel errors out in check_for_xstate()
when it does not see FP_XSTATE_MAGIC1 present (because it was
zeroed).  This leads to the FPU/XSAVE state being initialized.

For MPX, this leads to the most permissive state and means we
silently lose bounds violations.  I think this would also mean
that we could lose *ANY* FPU/SSE/AVX state.  I'm not sure why
no one has spotted this bug.

I believe this was broken by:

	72a671c ("x86, fpu: Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels")

way back in 2012.
