Subject: [RFC PATCH] x86/pkeys: update PKRU to enable pkey 0 before XSAVE

This patch is a workaround for a bug where the PKRU value is not
restored to the init value before the signal handler is invoked.

Problem description:
Let's assume there's a multithreaded application that runs untrusted
user code. Each thread has its stack/code protected by a non-zero pkey,
and the PKRU register is set up such that only that particular non-zero
pkey is enabled. Each thread also sets up an alternate signal stack to
handle signals, which is protected by pkey zero. The pkeys man page
documents that the PKRU will be reset to init_pkru when the signal
handler is invoked, which means that pkey zero access will be enabled.
But this reset happens after the kernel attempts to push fpu state
to the alternate stack, which is not (yet) accessible by the kernel,
which leads to a new SIGSEGV being sent to the application, terminating
it.

Enabling both the non-zero pkey (for the thread) and pkey zero (in
userspace) will not work for us. We cannot have the alt stack writeable
by all - the rationale here is that the code running in that thread
(using a non-zero pkey) is untrusted and should not have access to the
alternate signal stack (that uses pkey zero), to prevent the return address
of a function from being changed. The expectation is that kernel should be
able to set up the alternate signal stack and deliver the signal to the
application even if pkey zero is explicitly disabled by the application
(as documented in the pkeys man page). The signal handler accessibility
should not be dictated by whatever PKRU value the thread sets up.

Solution:
The PKRU register is managed by XSAVE, which means the sigframe contents
must match the register contents - which is not the case here. We want
the sigframe to contain the user-defined PKRU value (so that it is
restored correctly from sigcontext) but the actual register must be
reset to init_pkru so that the alt stack is accessible and the signal
can be delivered to the application. It seems that the proper fix here
would be to remove PKRU from the XSAVE framework and manage it
separately, which is quite complicated. As a workaround, this patch does
something like this:

        orig_pkru = rdpkru();
        wrpkru(init_pkru & orig_pkru);
        xsave_to_user_sigframe();
        put_user(pkru_sigframe_addr, orig_pkru)

Note:
I think the use_xsave() check in __update_pkru_in_sigframe() is redundant,
but I'm not 100% sure.
