Unfortunately the stack protector support we merged recently only works
on some toolchains. If the toolchain is built without glibc support
everything works fine, but if glibc is built then it leads to a panic
at boot.

The solution is not rc5 material, so revert the support for now. This
reverts commits:

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Highlights include:

   - Support for the kexec_file_load() syscall, which is a prereq for
     secure and trusted boot.

   - Prevent kernel execution of userspace on P9 Radix (similar to
     SMEP/PXN).

   - Sort the exception tables at build time, to save time at boot, and
     store them as relative offsets to save space in the kernel image &amp;
     memory.

   - Allow building the kernel with thin archives, which should allow us
     to build an allyesconfig once some other fixes land.

   - Build fixes to allow us to correctly rebuild when changing the
     kernel endian from big to little or vice versa.

   - Plumbing so that we can avoid doing a full mm TLB flush on P9
     Radix.

   - Initial stack protector support (-fstack-protector).

   - Support for dumping the radix (aka. Linux) and hash page tables via
     debugfs.

   - Fix an oops in cxl coredump generation when cxl_get_fd() is used.

   - Freescale updates from Scott: "Highlights include 8xx hugepage
     support, qbman fixes/cleanup, device tree updates, and some misc
     cleanup."

   - Many and varied fixes and minor enhancements as always.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Adapt TLB invalidations to work on POWER9</title>
<updated>2016-11-23T22:24:23Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Paul Mackerras</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=7c5b06cadf274f2867523c1130c11387545f808e'/>
<id>urn:sha1:7c5b06cadf274f2867523c1130c11387545f808e</id>
<content type='text'>
POWER9 adds new capabilities to the tlbie (TLB invalidate entry)
and tlbiel (local tlbie) instructions.  Both instructions get a
set of new parameters (RIC, PRS and R) which appear as bits in the
instruction word.  The tlbiel instruction now has a second register
operand, which contains a PID and/or LPID value if needed, and
should otherwise contain 0.

This adapts KVM-HV's usage of tlbie and tlbiel to work on POWER9
as well as older processors.  Since we only handle HPT guests so
far, we need RIC=0 PRS=0 R=0, which ends up with the same instruction
word as on previous processors, so we don't need to conditionally
execute different instructions depending on the processor.

The local flush on first entry to a guest in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S
is a loop which depends on the number of TLB sets.  Rather than
using feature sections to set the number of iterations based on
which CPU we're on, we now work out this number at VM creation time
and store it in the kvm_arch struct.  That will make it possible to
get the number from the device tree in future, which will help with
compatibility with future processors.

Since mmu_partition_table_set_entry() does a global flush of the
whole LPID, we don't need to do the TLB flush on first entry to the
guest on each processor.  Therefore we don't set all bits in the
tlb_need_flush bitmap on VM startup on POWER9.

<id>urn:sha1:e9cf1e085647b433ccd98582681b17121ecfdc21</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds code to handle two new guest-accessible special-purpose
registers on POWER9: TIDR (thread ID register) and PSSCR (processor
stop status and control register).  They are context-switched
between host and guest, and the guest values can be read and set
via the one_reg interface.

The PSSCR contains some fields which are guest-accessible and some
which are only accessible in hypervisor mode.  We only allow the
guest-accessible fields to be read or set by userspace.

<title>powerpc/32: Change the stack protector canary value per task</title>

<content type='text'>
Partially copied from commit df0698be14c66 ("ARM: stack protector:
change the canary value per task")

A new random value for the canary is stored in the task struct whenever
a new task is forked.  This is meant to allow for different canary values
per task.  On powerpc, GCC expects the canary value to be found in a global
variable called __stack_chk_guard.  So this variable has to be updated
with the value stored in the task struct whenever a task switch occurs.

Because the variable GCC expects is global, this cannot work on SMP
unfortunately.  So, on SMP, the same initial canary value is kept
throughout, making this feature a bit less effective although it is still
useful.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save/restore XER in checkpointed register state</title>
<updated>2016-11-21T04:17:55Z</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:0d808df06a44200f52262b6eb72bcb6042f5a7c5</id>
<content type='text'>
When switching from/to a guest that has a transaction in progress,
we need to save/restore the checkpointed register state.  Although
XER is part of the CPU state that gets checkpointed, the code that
does this saving and restoring doesn't save/restore XER.

This fixes it by saving and restoring the XER.  To allow userspace
to read/write the checkpointed XER value, we also add a new ONE_REG
specifier.

The visible effect of this bug is that the guest may see its XER
value being corrupted when it uses transactions.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S: Treat VTB as a per-subcore register, not per-thread</title>

<id>urn:sha1:88b02cf97bb7e742db3e31671d54177e3e19fd89</id>
<content type='text'>
POWER8 has one virtual timebase (VTB) register per subcore, not one
per CPU thread.  The HV KVM code currently treats VTB as a per-thread
register, which can lead to spurious soft lockup messages from guests
which use the VTB as the time source for the soft lockup detector.
(CPUs before POWER8 did not have the VTB register.)

For HV KVM, this fixes the problem by making only the primary thread
in each virtual core save and restore the VTB value.  With this,
the VTB state becomes part of the kvmppc_vcore structure.  This
also means that "piggybacking" of multiple virtual cores onto one
subcore is not possible on POWER8, because then the virtual cores
would share a single VTB register.

PR KVM emulates a VTB register, which is per-vcpu because PR KVM
has no notion of CPU threads or SMT.  For PR KVM we move the VTB
state into the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct.

<content type='text'>
The asm-offsets mechanism generates signed numbers, even if the
input value is explicitly unsigned.  This causes a problem with
older binutils (e.g. 2.23), which sign-extend a negative number
when @h is applied.  Thus, this instruction:

	cmpli   cr0, r11, VIRT_IMMR_BASE@h

resulted in this:

Error: operand out of range (0xfffffff0 is not between 0x00000000 and
0x0000ffff)

By casting to a larger type, we can force the output to be expressed
as a positive number.
