Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 4/9] arm64: syscall: exit userspace before unmasking exceptions
Date: Sat, 12 Dec 2020 11:08:43 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201212160848.2335307-4-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201212160848.2335307-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>

[ Upstream commit ca1314d73eed493c49bb1932c60a8605530db2e4 ]

In el0_svc_common() we unmask exceptions before we call user_exit(), and
so there's a window where an IRQ or debug exception can be taken while
RCU is not watching. In do_debug_exception() we account for this in via
debug_exception_{enter,exit}(), but in the el1_irq asm we do not and we
call trace functions which rely on RCU before we have a guarantee that
RCU is watching.

Let's avoid this by having el0_svc_common() exit userspace before
unmasking exceptions, matching what we do for all other EL0 entry paths.
We can use user_exit_irqoff() to avoid the pointless save/restore of IRQ
flags while we're sure exceptions are masked in DAIF.

The workaround for Cortex-A76 erratum 1463225 may trigger a debug
exception before this point, but the debug code invoked in this case is
safe even when RCU is not watching.
