<title>powerpc: Enable execve syscall exit tracepoint</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2ea08562ecb549a1a2d125a29d3f9747e95d3e10</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ec6d0dde71d760aa60316f8d1c9a1b0d99213529 upstream.

On execve[at], we are zero'ing out most of the thread register state
including gpr[0], which contains the syscall number. Due to this, we
fail to trigger the syscall exit tracepoint properly. Fix this by
retaining gpr[0] in the thread register state.

Before this patch:
  # tail /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
	       cat-123     [000] .....    61.449351: sys_execve(filename:

  filename: 1009ac48, argv: 7ffff65d0c98, envp: 7ffff65d0ca8, flags: 0)

After this patch:

	       cat-127     [000] .....   100.416262: sys_execve(filename:

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit a1b29ba2f2c171b9bea73be993bfdf0a62d37d15 ]

The following KASAN warning was reported in our kernel.

  BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in get_wchan+0x188/0x250

  The buggy address belongs to the page:

  flags: 0x0()

  raw: 00000000
  page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected

  Memory state around the buggy address:

   d216fa00: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

After looking into this issue, I find the buggy address belongs
to the task stack region. It seems KASAN has something wrong.
I look into the code of __get_wchan in x86 architecture and
find the same issue has been resolved by the commit
f7d27c35ddff ("x86/mm, kasan: Silence KASAN warnings in get_wchan()").
The solution could be applied to powerpc architecture too.

As Andrey Ryabinin said, get_wchan() is racy by design, it may
access volatile stack of running task, thus it may access
redzone in a stack frame and cause KASAN to warn about this.

Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to silence these warnings.

<title>powerpc: Add KUAP support for BOOKE and 40x</title>

<id>urn:sha1:43afcf8f0101279cf4243bb4f9f9b249ddd8613c</id>
<content type='text'>
On booke/40x we don't have segments like book3s/32.
On booke/40x we don't have access protection groups like 8xx.

Use the PID register to provide user access protection.
Kernel address space can be accessed with any PID.
User address space has to be accessed with the PID of the user.
User PID is always not null.

Everytime the kernel is entered, set PID register to 0 and
restore PID register when returning to user.

Everytime kernel needs to access user data, PID is restored
for the access.

In TLB miss handlers, check the PID and bail out to data storage
exception when PID is 0 and accessed address is in user space.

Note that also forbids execution of user text by kernel except
when user access is unlocked. But this shouldn't be a problem
as the kernel is not supposed to ever run user text.

This patch prepares the infrastructure but the real activation of KUAP
is done by following patches for each processor type one by one.

Also call kuap_lock() and kuap_save_and_lock() from
interrupt functions with CONFIG_PPC64.

For book3s/64 we keep them empty as it is done in assembly.

Also do the locked assert when switching task unless it is
book3s/64.

Linux implements SPR save/restore including storage space for registers
in the task struct for process context switching. Make use of this
similarly to the way we make use of the context switching fp/vec save
restore.

This improves code reuse, allows some stack space to be saved, and helps
with avoiding VRSAVE updates if they are not required.

This reduces the number of mtmsrd required to enable facility bits when
saving/restoring registers, by having the KVM code set all bits up front
rather than using individual facility functions that set their particular
MSR bits.
