[PATCH v6 1/2] x86/fpu: Allow PKRU to be (once again) written by ptrace.

From: Kyle Huey
Date: Mon Aug 29 2022 - 15:49:15 EST


From: Kyle Huey <me@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

When management of the PKRU register was moved away from XSTATE, emulation
of PKRU's existence in XSTATE was added for reading PKRU through ptrace,
but not for writing PKRU through ptrace. This can be seen by running gdb
and executing `p $pkru`, `set $pkru = 42`, and `p $pkru`. On affected
kernels (5.14+) the write to the PKRU register (which gdb performs through
ptrace) is ignored.

There are three APIs that write PKRU: sigreturn, PTRACE_SETREGSET with
NT_X86_XSTATE, and KVM_SET_XSAVE. sigreturn still uses XRSTOR to write to
PKRU. KVM_SET_XSAVE has its own special handling to make PKRU writes take
effect (in fpu_copy_uabi_to_guest_fpstate). Push that down into
copy_uabi_to_xstate and have PTRACE_SETREGSET with NT_X86_XSTATE pass in
a pointer to the appropriate PKRU slot. copy_sigframe_from_user_to_xstate
depends on copy_uabi_to_xstate populating the PKRU field in the task's
XSTATE so that __fpu_restore_sig can do a XRSTOR from it, so continue doing
that.

This also adds code to initialize the PKRU value to the hardware init value
(namely 0) if the PKRU bit is not set in the XSTATE header provided to
ptrace, to match XRSTOR.

2.37.2

Changelog since v5:
- Avoids a second copy from the uabi buffer as suggested.
- Preserves old KVM_SET_XSAVE behavior where leaving the PKRU bit in the
XSTATE header results in PKRU remaining unchanged instead of
reinitializing it.
- Fixed up patch metadata as requested.

Changelog since v4:
- Selftest additionally checks PKRU readbacks through ptrace.
- Selftest flips all PKRU bits (except the default key).

Changelog since v3:
- The v3 patch is now part 1 of 2.
- Adds a selftest in part 2 of 2.

Changelog since v2:
- Removed now unused variables in fpu_copy_uabi_to_guest_fpstate

Changelog since v1:
- Handles the error case of copy_to_buffer().
