    powerpc/64s: Fix pte update for kernel memory on radix · b8b2f37c
    Jordan Niethe authored
    When adding a PTE a ptesync is needed to order the update of the PTE
    with subsequent accesses otherwise a spurious fault may be raised.
    
    radix__set_pte_at() does not do this for performance gains. For
    non-kernel memory this is not an issue as any faults of this kind are
    corrected by the page fault handler. For kernel memory these faults
    are not handled. The current solution is that there is a ptesync in
    flush_cache_vmap() which should be called when mapping from the
    vmalloc region.
    
    However, map_kernel_page() does not call flush_cache_vmap(). This is
    troublesome in particular for code patching with Strict RWX on radix.
    In do_patch_instruction() the page frame that contains the instruction
    to be patched is mapped and then immediately patched. With no ordering
    or synchronization between setting up the PTE and writing to the page
    it is possible for faults.
    
    As the code patching is done using __put_user_asm_goto() the resulting
    fault is obscured - but using a normal store instead it can be seen:
    
      BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on write at 0xc008000008f24a3c

    This results in the kind of issue reported here:
      https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/15AC5B0E-A221-4B8C-9039-FA96B8EF7C88@lca.pw/
    
    Chris Riedl suggested a reliable way to reproduce the issue:
      $ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
      $ (while true; do echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer ; echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer ; done) &
    
    Turning ftrace on and off does a large amount of code patching which
    in usually less then 5min will crash giving a trace like:
    
       ftrace-powerpc: (____ptrval____): replaced (4b473b11) != old (60000000)
