Subject: [PATCH v2 02/22] powerpc/pkeys: Check vma before returning key fault error to the user

If multiple threads in userspace keep changing the protection keys
mapping a range, there can be a scenario where kernel takes a key fault
but the pkey value found in the siginfo struct is a permissive one.

This can confuse the userspace as shown in the below test case.

/* use this to control the number of test iterations */

static void pkeyreg_set(int pkey, unsigned long rights)
{
	unsigned long reg, shift;

	shift = (NR_PKEYS - pkey - 1) * PKEY_BITS_PER_PKEY;
	asm volatile("mfspr	%0, 0xd" : "=r"(reg));
	reg &= ~(((unsigned long) PKEY_BITS_MASK) << shift);
	reg |= (rights & PKEY_BITS_MASK) << shift;
	asm volatile("mtspr	0xd, %0" : : "r"(reg));
}

static unsigned long pkeyreg_get(void)
{
	unsigned long reg;

	asm volatile("mfspr	%0, 0xd" : "=r"(reg));
	return reg;
}

static int sys_pkey_mprotect(void *addr, size_t len, int prot, int pkey)
{
	return syscall(SYS_pkey_mprotect, addr, len, prot, pkey);
}

static int sys_pkey_alloc(unsigned long flags, unsigned long access_rights)
{
	return syscall(SYS_pkey_alloc, flags, access_rights);
}

static int sys_pkey_free(int pkey)
{
	return syscall(SYS_pkey_free, pkey);
}

static int faulting_pkey;
static int permissive_pkey;
static pthread_barrier_t pkey_set_barrier;
static pthread_barrier_t mprotect_barrier;

static void pkey_handle_fault(int signum, siginfo_t *sinfo, void *ctx)
{
	unsigned long pkeyreg;

	/* FIXME: printf is not signal-safe but for the current purpose,
	          it gets the job done. */
	printf("pkey: exp = %d, got = %d\n", faulting_pkey, sinfo->si_pkey);
	fflush(stdout);

	assert(sinfo->si_code == SEGV_PKUERR);

}

	/* cache the pkey here as the faulting pkey for future reference
	   in the signal handler */
	faulting_pkey = pkey;
	printf("%s: faulting pkey = %d\n", __func__, faulting_pkey);

	/* try to allocate, mprotect and free pkeys repeatedly */
	for (i = 0; i < NUM_ITERATIONS; i++) {
		/* sync up with the other thread here */
		pthread_barrier_wait(&pkey_set_barrier);

		/* make sure that the pkey used by the non-faulting thread
		   is made permissive for this thread's context too so that
		   no faults are triggered because it still might have been
		   set to a restrictive value */
//		pkeyreg_set(permissive_pkey, 0x0);

		/* sync up with the other thread here */
		pthread_barrier_wait(&mprotect_barrier);

	sys_pkey_free(pkey);

	return NULL;

	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

The above test can result the below failure without this patch.

pkey: exp = 3, got = 3
pkey: exp = 3, got = 4
a.out: pkey-siginfo-race.c:100: pkey_handle_fault: Assertion `sinfo->si_pkey == faulting_pkey' failed.
Aborted

Check for vma access before considering this a key fault. If vma pkey allow
access retry the acess again.

Test case is written by Sandipan Das <sandipan@...ux.ibm.com> hence added SOB
from him.
