[PATCH 5.4 26/66] x86/pti/32: Calculate the various PTI cpu_entry_area sizes correctly, make the CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PAGES assert precise

commit 05b042a1944322844eaae7ea596d5f154166d68a upstream.

When two recent commits that increased the size of the 'struct cpu_entry_area'
were merged in -tip, the 32-bit defconfig build started failing on the following
build time assert:

./include/linux/compiler.h:391:38: error: call to â__compiletime_assert_189â declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PAGES * PAGE_SIZE < CPU_ENTRY_AREA_MAP_SIZE
arch/x86/mm/cpu_entry_area.c:189:2: note: in expansion of macro âBUILD_BUG_ONâ
In function âsetup_cpu_entry_area_ptesâ,

Which corresponds to the following build time assert:

BUILD_BUG_ON(CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PAGES * PAGE_SIZE < CPU_ENTRY_AREA_MAP_SIZE);

The purpose of this assert is to sanity check the fixed-value definition of
CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PAGES arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_32_types.h:

#define CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PAGES (NR_CPUS * 41)

The '41' is supposed to match sizeof(struct cpu_entry_area)/PAGE_SIZE, which value
we didn't want to define in such a low level header, because it would cause
dependency hell.

Every time the size of cpu_entry_area is changed, we have to adjust CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PAGES
accordingly - and this assert is checking that constraint.

But the assert is both imprecise and buggy, primarily because it doesn't
include the single readonly IDT page that is mapped at CPU_ENTRY_AREA_BASE
(which begins at a PMD boundary).

This bug was hidden by the fact that by accident CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PAGES is defined
too large upstream (v5.4-rc8):

#define CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PAGES (NR_CPUS * 40)

While 'struct cpu_entry_area' is 155648 bytes, or 38 pages. So we had two extra
pages, which hid the bug.

The following commit (not yet upstream) increased the size to 40 pages:

x86/iopl: ("Restrict iopl() permission scope")

... but increased CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PAGES only 41 - i.e. shortening the gap
to just 1 extra page.

Then another not-yet-upstream commit changed the size again:

880a98c33996: ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Add guard page for entry stack on 32bit")

Which increased the cpu_entry_area size from 38 to 39 pages, but
didn't change CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PAGES (kept it at 40). This worked
fine, because we still had a page left from the accidental 'reserve'.

But when these two commits were merged into the same tree, the
combined size of cpu_entry_area grew from 38 to 40 pages, while
CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PAGES finally caught up to 40 as well.

Which is fine in terms of functionality, but the assert broke:

BUILD_BUG_ON(CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PAGES * PAGE_SIZE < CPU_ENTRY_AREA_MAP_SIZE);

because CPU_ENTRY_AREA_MAP_SIZE is the total size of the area,
which is 1 page larger due to the IDT page.

To fix all this, change the assert to two precise asserts:

BUILD_BUG_ON((CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PAGES+1)*PAGE_SIZE != CPU_ENTRY_AREA_MAP_SIZE);
BUILD_BUG_ON(CPU_ENTRY_AREA_TOTAL_SIZE != CPU_ENTRY_AREA_MAP_SIZE);

This takes the IDT page into account, and also connects the size-based
define of CPU_ENTRY_AREA_TOTAL_SIZE with the address-subtraction based
define of CPU_ENTRY_AREA_MAP_SIZE.

Also clean up some of the names which made it rather confusing:

- 'CPU_ENTRY_AREA_TOT_SIZE' wasn't actually the 'total' size of
the cpu-entry-area, but the per-cpu array size, so rename this
to CPU_ENTRY_AREA_ARRAY_SIZE.

- Introduce CPU_ENTRY_AREA_TOTAL_SIZE that _is_ the total mapping
size, with the IDT included.

- Add comments where '+1' denotes the IDT mapping - it wasn't
obvious and took me about 3 hours to decode...

Finally, because this particular commit is actually applied after
this patch:

880a98c33996: ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Add guard page for entry stack on 32bit")

Fix the CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PAGES value from 40 pages to the correct 39 pages.

All future commits that change cpu_entry_area will have to adjust
this value precisely.

As a side note, we should probably attempt to remove CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PAGES
and derive its value directly from the structure, without causing
header hell - but that is an adventure for another day! :-)
