This changes the KVM code that emulates the decrementer function to do the conversion of decrementer values to time intervals in nanoseconds by calling the tb_to_ns() function exported by the powerpc timer code, in preference to open-coded arithmetic using values from the decrementer_clockevent struct. Similarly, the HV-KVM code that did the same conversion using arithmetic on tb_ticks_per_sec also now uses tb_to_ns(). Signed-off-by:

This reverts commit 4f94b2c7. That commit was buggy, as it used rlwinm instead of rlwimi. Instead of fixing that bug, we revert the previous commit in order to reduce the dependency between L1 entries and L2 entries Fixes: 4f94b2c7 ("powerpc/8xx: Use L1 entry APG to handle _PAGE_ACCESSED for CONFIG_SWAP") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

Recently in commit 7241d26e ("powerpc/64: properly initialise the stackprotector canary on SMP.") we fixed a crash with stack protector on SMP by initialising the stack canary in cpu_idle_thread_init(). But this can also causes crashes, when a CPU comes back online after being offline: Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self+0x2a0/0x2b0 CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 4.19.0-rc3-gcc-7.3.1-00168-g4ffe713b #94 Call Trace: dump_stack+0xb0/0xf4 (unreliable) panic+0x144/0x328 __stack_chk_fail+0x2c/0x30 pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self+0x2a0/0x2b0 cpu_die+0x48/0x70 arch_cpu_idle_dead+0x20/0x40 do_idle+0x274/0x390 cpu_startup_entry+0x38/0x50 start_secondary+0x5e4/0x600 start_secondary_prolog+0x10/0x14 Looking at the stack we see that the canary value in the stack frame doesn't match the canary in the task/paca. That is because we have reinitialised the task/paca value, but then the CPU coming online has returned into a function using the old canary value. That causes the comparison to fail. Instead we can call boot_init_stack_canary() from start_secondary() which never returns. This is essentially what the generic code does in cpu_startup_entry() under #ifdef X86, we should make that non-x86 specific in a future patch.

commit b96672dd ("powerpc: Machine check interrupt is a non- maskable interrupt") added a call to nmi_enter() at the beginning of machine check restart exception handler. Due to that, in_interrupt() always returns true regardless of the state before entering the exception, and die() panics even when the system was not already in interrupt. This patch calls nmi_exit() before calling die() in order to restore the interrupt state we had before calling nmi_enter() Fixes: b96672dd ("powerpc: Machine check interrupt is a non-maskable interrupt") Signed-off-by:

The recent module relocation overflow crash demonstrated that we have no range checking on REL32 relative relocations. This patch implements a basic check, the same kernel that previously oopsed and rebooted now continues with some of these errors when loading the module: module_64: x_tables: REL32 527703503449812 out of range! Possibly other relocations (ADDR32, REL16, TOC16, etc.) should also have overflow checks. Signed-off-by:

This tests that a bctr (Branch to counter and link), ie. a function call, to a wildly out-of-bounds address is handled correctly. Some old kernel versions didn't handle it correctly, see eg: "powerpc/slb: Force a full SLB flush when we insert for a bad EA" https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2017-April/157397.htmlSigned-off-by:

If we look closely at the logic in create_physical_mapping(), when we're doing STRICT_KERNEL_RWX, we do the following steps: - determine the gap from where we are to the end of the range - choose an appropriate mapping_size based on the gap - check if that mapping_size would overlap the __init_begin boundary, and if not choose an appropriate mapping_size We can simplify the logic by taking the __init_begin boundary into account when we calculate the initial gap. So add a next_boundary() function which tells us what the next boundary is, either the __init_begin boundary or end. In future we can add more boundaries. Signed-off-by: -

When we have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled, we want to split the linear mapping at the text/data boundary so we can map the kernel text read only. The current logic uses a goto inside the for loop, which works, but is hard to reason about. When we hit the goto retry case we set max_mapping_size to PMD_SIZE and go back to the start. Setting max_mapping_size means we skip the PUD case and go to the PMD case. We know we will pass the alignment and gap checks because the only reason we are there is we hit the goto retry, and that is guarded by mapping_size == PUD_SIZE, which means addr is PUD aligned and gap is greater or equal to PUD_SIZE. So the only part of the check that can fail is the mmu_psize_defs check for the 2M page size. If we just duplicate that check we can avoid the goto, and we get the same result. Signed-off-by: -

When we have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled, we want to split the linear mapping at the text/data boundary so we can map the kernel text read only. Currently we always use a small page at the text/data boundary, even when that's not necessary: Mapped 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000e00000 with 2.00 MiB pages Mapped 0x0000000000e00000-0x0000000001000000 with 64.0 KiB pages Mapped 0x0000000001000000-0x0000000040000000 with 2.00 MiB pages This is because the check that the mapping crosses the __init_begin boundary is too strict, it also returns true when we map exactly up to the boundary. So fix it to check that the mapping would actually map past __init_begin, and with that we see: Mapped 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000040000000 with 2.00 MiB pages Mapped 0x0000000040000000-0x0000000100000000 with 1.00 GiB pages Signed-off-by: -

When we have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled, we want to split the linear mapping at the text/data boundary so we can map the kernel text read only. But the current logic uses small pages for the entire text section, regardless of whether a larger page size would fit. eg. with the boundary at 16M we could use 2M pages, but instead we use 64K pages up to the 16M boundary: Mapped 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000001000000 with 64.0 KiB pages Mapped 0x0000000001000000-0x0000000040000000 with 2.00 MiB pages Mapped 0x0000000040000000-0x0000000100000000 with 1.00 GiB pages This is because the test is checking if addr is < __init_begin and addr + mapping_size is >= _stext. But that is true for all pages between _stext and __init_begin. Instead what we want to check is if we are crossing the text/data boundary, which is at __init_begin. With that fixed we see: Mapped 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000e00000 with 2.00 MiB pages Mapped 0x0000000000e00000-0x0000000001000000 with 64.0 KiB pages Mapped 0x0000000001000000-0x0000000040000000 with 2.00 MiB pages Mapped 0x0000000040000000-0x0000000100000000 with 1.00 GiB pages ie. we're correctly using 2MB pages below __init_begin, but we still drop down to 64K pages unnecessarily at the boundary.

When we have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled, we try to split the kernel linear (1:1) mapping so that the kernel text is in a separate page to kernel data, so we can mark the former read-only. We could achieve that just by always using 64K pages for the linear mapping, but we try to be smarter. Instead we use huge pages when possible, and only switch to smaller pages when necessary. However we have an off-by-one bug in that logic, which causes us to calculate the wrong boundary between text and data. For example with the end of the kernel text at 16M we see: radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000001200000 with 64.0 KiB pages radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000001200000-0x0000000040000000 with 2.00 MiB pages radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000040000000-0x0000000100000000 with 1.00 GiB pages ie. we mapped from 0 to 18M with 64K pages, even though the boundary between text and data is at 16M. With the fix we see we're correctly hitting the 16M boundary: radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000001000000 with 64.0 KiB pages radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000001000000-0x0000000040000000 with 2.00 MiB pages radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000040000000-0x0000000100000000 with 1.00 GiB pages Signed-off-by: -

Currently, we expect to be able to reach ftrace_caller() from all ftrace-enabled functions through a single relative branch. With large kernel configs, we see functions outside of 32MB of ftrace_caller() causing ftrace_init() to bail. In such configurations, gcc/ld emits two types of trampolines for mcount(): 1. A long_branch, which has a single branch to mcount() for functions that are one hop away from mcount(): c0000000019e8544 <00031b56.long_branch._mcount>: c0000000019e8544: 4a 69 3f ac b c00000000007c4f0 <._mcount> 2. A plt_branch, for functions that are farther away from mcount(): c0000000051f33f8 <0008ba04.plt_branch._mcount>: c0000000051f33f8: 3d 82 ff a4 addis r12,r2,-92 c0000000051f33fc: e9 8c 04 20 ld r12,1056(r12) c0000000051f3400: 7d 89 03 a6 mtctr r12 c0000000051f3404: 4e 80 04 20 bctr We can reuse those trampolines for ftrace if we can have those trampolines go to ftrace_caller() instead. However, with ABIv2, we cannot depend on r2 being valid. As such, we use only the long_branch trampolines by patching those to instead branch to ftrace_caller or ftrace_regs_caller. In addition, we add additional trampolines around .text and .init.text to catch locations that are covered by the plt branches. This allows ftrace to work with most large kernel configurations. For now, we always patch the trampolines to go to ftrace_regs_caller, which is slightly inefficient. This can be optimized further at a later point. Signed-off-by:

Since commit bd0dbb73 ("powerpc/mm/books3s: Add new pte bit to mark pte temporarily invalid."), _PAGE_PRESENT doesn't mean exactly that a page is present. A page is also considered preset when _PAGE_INVALID is set. This patch changes the meaning of "present" and adds a status "valid" associated to the _PAGE_PRESENT flag. Fixes: bd0dbb73 ("powerpc/mm/books3s: Add new pte bit to mark pte temporarily invalid.") Signed-off-by:

This patch exports the raw per-CPU VPA data via debugfs. A per-CPU file is created which exports the VPA data of that CPU to help debug some of the VPA related issues or to analyze the per-CPU VPA related statistics. v3: Removed offline CPU check. v2: Included offline CPU check and other review comments.

This adds a test to verify proper functioning of the rfi flush capability implemented to mitigate meltdown. The test works by measuring the number of L1d cache misses encountered while loading data from memory. Across a system call, since the L1d cache is flushed when rfi_flush is enabled, the number of cache misses is expected to be relative to the number of cachelines corresponding to the data being loaded. The current system setting is reflected via powerpc/rfi_flush under debugfs (assumed to be /sys/kernel/debug/). This test verifies the expected result with rfi_flush enabled as well as when it is disabled. Signed-off-by:

module_frob_arch_sections() is called before the module is moved to its final location. The function descriptor section addresses we are setting here are thus invalid. Fix this by processing opd section during module_finalize() Fixes: 5633e85b ("powerpc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.16 Signed-off-by:

We implement regs_set_return_value() and override_function_with_return() for this purpose. On powerpc, a return from a function (blr) just branches to the location contained in the link register. So, we can just update pt_regs rather than redirecting execution to a dummy function that returns. Signed-off-by:

In the recent commit 8b78fdb0 ("powerpc/time: Use clockevents_register_device(), fixing an issue with large decrementer") we changed the way we initialise the decrementer clockevent(s). We no longer initialise the mult & shift values of decrementer_clockevent itself. This has the effect of breaking PR KVM, because it uses those values in kvmppc_emulate_dec(). The symptom is guest kernels spin forever mid-way through boot. For now fix it by assigning back to decrementer_clockevent the mult and shift values.

I'm pretty sure this is dead code, it's only used by the a.out core dump code, and we don't support a.out. We should remove it. But while it's in the tree it should be using the ABI version of pt_regs which is called user_pt_regs in the kernel, because the whole struct is written to the core dump and so its size shouldn't change. Note this isn't a uapi header so we don't need an ifdef. Fixes: 002af939 ("powerpc: Split user/kernel definitions of struct pt_regs") Signed-off-by:
