[PATCH 4.19 227/280] powerpc/ptrace: Simplify vr_get/set() to avoid GCC warning

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit ca6d5149d2ad0a8d2f9c28cbe379802260a0a5e0 upstream.

GCC 8 warns about the logic in vr_get/set(), which with -Werror breaks
the build:

  In function âuser_regset_copyinâ,
      inlined from âvr_setâ at arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:628:9:
  include/linux/regset.h:295:4: error: âmemcpyâ offset [-527, -529] is
  out of the bounds [0, 16] of object âvrsaveâ with type âunion
  <anonymous>â [-Werror=array-bounds]
  arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c: In function âvr_setâ:
  arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:623:5: note: âvrsaveâ declared here
     } vrsave;

This has been identified as a regression in GCC, see GCC bug 88273.

However we can avoid the warning and also simplify the logic and make
it more robust.

Currently we pass -1 as end_pos to user_regset_copyout(). This says
"copy up to the end of the regset".

The definition of the regset is:
	[REGSET_VMX] = {
		.core_note_type = NT_PPC_VMX, .n = 34,
		.size = sizeof(vector128), .align = sizeof(vector128),
		.active = vr_active, .get = vr_get, .set = vr_set
	},

The end is calculated as (n * size), ie. 34 * sizeof(vector128).

In vr_get/set() we pass start_pos as 33 * sizeof(vector128), meaning
we can copy up to sizeof(vector128) into/out-of vrsave.

The on-stack vrsave is defined as:
  union {
	  elf_vrreg_t reg;
	  u32 word;
  } vrsave;

And elf_vrreg_t is:
  typedef __vector128 elf_vrreg_t;

So there is no bug, but we rely on all those sizes lining up,
otherwise we would have a kernel stack exposure/overwrite on our
hands.

Rather than relying on that we can pass an explict end_pos based on
the sizeof(vrsave). The result should be exactly the same but it's
more obviously not over-reading/writing the stack and it avoids the
compiler warning.
