commit aad98efd0b121f63a2e1c221dcb4d4850128c697 upstream.

Nysal reported that userspace backtraces are missing in offcputime bcc
tool. As an example:
    $ sudo ./bcc/tools/offcputime.py -uU
    Tracing off-CPU time (us) of user threads by user stack... Hit Ctrl-C to end.

    ^C
	write
	-                python (9107)
	    8

	write
	-                sudo (9105)
	    9

	mmap
	-                python (9107)
	    16

	clock_nanosleep
	-                multipathd (697)
	    3001604

The offcputime bcc tool attaches a bpf program to a kprobe on
finish_task_switch(), which is usually hit on a syscall from userspace.
With the switch to system call vectored, we started setting
pt_regs-&gt;link to zero. This is because system call vectored behaves like
a function call with LR pointing to the system call return address, and
with no modification to SRR0/SRR1. The LR value does indicate our next
instruction, so it is being saved as pt_regs-&gt;nip, and pt_regs-&gt;link is
being set to zero. This is not a problem by itself, but BPF uses perf
callchain infrastructure for capturing stack traces, and that stores LR
as the second entry in the stack trace. perf has code to cope with the
second entry being zero, and skips over it. However, generic userspace
unwinders assume that a zero entry indicates end of the stack trace,
resulting in a truncated userspace stack trace.

Rather than fixing all userspace unwinders to ignore/skip past the
second entry, store the real LR value in pt_regs-&gt;link so that there
continues to be a valid, though duplicate entry in the stack trace.

With this change:
    $ sudo ./bcc/tools/offcputime.py -uU
    Tracing off-CPU time (us) of user threads by user stack... Hit Ctrl-C to end.

<title>powerpc/64s/interrupt: Fix clear of PACA_IRQS_HARD_DIS when returning to soft-masked context</title>

<id>urn:sha1:65722736c3baf29e02e964a09e85c9ef71c48e8d</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit a4cb3651a1743 ("powerpc/64s/interrupt: Fix lost interrupts when
returning to soft-masked context") fixed the problem of pending irqs
being cleared when clearing the HARD_DIS bit, but then it didn't clear
the bit at all. This change clears HARD_DIS without affecting other bits
in the mask.

When an interrupt hits in a soft-masked section that has MSR[EE]=1, it
can hard disable and set PACA_IRQS_HARD_DIS, which must be cleared when
returning to the EE=1 caller (unless it was set due to a MUST_HARD_MASK
interrupt becoming pending). Failure to clear this leaves the
returned-to context running with MSR[EE]=1 and PACA_IRQS_HARD_DIS, which
confuses irq assertions and could be dangerous for code that might test
the flag.

This was observed in a hash MMU kernel where a kernel hash fault hits in
a local_irqs_disabled region that has EE=1. The hash fault also runs
with EE=1, then as it returns, a decrementer hits in the restart section
and the irq restart code hard-masks which sets the PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS
flag, which is not clear when the original context is returned to.

<id>urn:sha1:a4cb3651a174366cc85a677da9e3681fbe97fdae</id>
<content type='text'>
It's possible for an interrupt returning to an irqs-disabled context to
lose a pending soft-masked irq because it branches to part of the exit
code for irqs-enabled contexts, which is meant to clear only the
PACA_IRQS_HARD_DIS flag from PACAIRQHAPPENED by zeroing the byte. This
just looks like a simple thinko from a recent commit (if there was no
hard mask pending, there would be no reason to clear it anyway).

This also adds comment to the code that actually does need to clear the
flag.

<title>powerpc/64: use 32-bit immediate for STACK_FRAME_REGS_MARKER</title>

<content type='text'>
Using a 32-bit constant for this marker allows it to be loaded with
two ALU instructions, like 32-bit. This avoids a TOC entry and a
TOC load that depends on the r2 value that has just been loaded from
the PACA.

This changes the value for 32-bit as well, so both have the same
value in the low 4 bytes and 64-bit has 0 in the top bytes.

<id>urn:sha1:e485f6c751e0a969327336c635ca602feea117f0</id>
<content type='text'>
If a synchronous interrupt (e.g., hash fault) is taken inside an
irqs-disabled region which has MSR[EE]=1, then an asynchronous interrupt
that is PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK (e.g., PMI) is taken inside the
synchronous interrupt handler, then the synchronous interrupt will
return with MSR[EE]=1 and the asynchronous interrupt fires again.

If the asynchronous interrupt is a PMI and the original context does not
have PMIs disabled (only Linux IRQs), the asynchronous interrupt will
fire despite having the PMI marked soft pending. This can confuse the
perf code and cause warnings.

This patch changes the interrupt return so that irqs-disabled MSR[EE]=1
contexts will be returned to with MSR[EE]=0 if a PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK
interrupt has become pending in the meantime.

The longer explanation for what happens:
1. local_irq_disable()
2. Hash fault interrupt fires, do_hash_fault handler runs
3. interrupt_enter_prepare() sets IRQS_ALL_DISABLED
4. interrupt_enter_prepare() sets MSR[EE]=1
5. PMU interrupt fires, masked handler runs
6. Masked handler marks PMI pending
7. Masked handler returns with PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS set, MSR[EE]=0
8. do_hash_fault interrupt return handler runs
9. interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() clears PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS
10. interrupt returns with MSR[EE]=1
11. PMU interrupt fires, perf handler runs

Change system_call_exception arguments to pass a pointer to a stack
frame container caller state, as well as the original r0, which
determines the number of the syscall. This has been observed to yield
improved performance to passing them by registers, circumventing the
need to allocate a stack frame.

Use the convenience macros for saving/clearing/restoring gprs in keeping
with syscall calling conventions. The plural variants of these macros
can store a range of registers for concision.

This works well when the user gpr value we are hoping to save is still
live. In the syscall interrupt handlers, user register state is
sometimes juggled between registers. Hold-off from issuing the SAVE_GPR
macro for applicable neighbouring lines to highlight the delicate
register save logic.

<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 8875f47b7681 ("powerpc/syscall: Save r3 in regs-&gt;orig_r3
").

Save caller's original r3 state to the kernel stackframe before entering
system_call_exception. This allows for user registers to be cleared by
the time system_call_exception is entered, reducing the influence of
user registers on speculation within the kernel.

Prior to this commit, orig_r3 was saved at the beginning of
system_call_exception. Instead, save orig_r3 while the user value is
still live in r3.

Also replicate this early save in 32-bit. A similar save was removed in
commit 6f76a01173cc ("powerpc/syscall: implement system call entry/exit
logic in C for PPC32") when 32-bit adopted system_call_exception. Revert
its removal of orig_r3 saves.
