commit 4b3338aaa74d7d4ec5b6734dc298f0db94ec83d2 upstream.

Commit 41a506ef71eb ("powerpc/ftrace: Create a dummy stackframe to fix
stack unwind") added use of a new stack frame on ftrace entry to fix
stack unwind. However, the commit missed updating the offset used while
tearing down the ftrace stack when ftrace is disabled. Fix the same.

In addition, the commit missed saving the correct stack pointer in
pt_regs. Update the same.

commit 41a506ef71eb38d94fe133f565c87c3e06ccc072 upstream.

With ppc64 -mprofile-kernel and ppc32 -pg, profiling instructions to
call into ftrace are emitted right at function entry. The instruction
sequence used is minimal to reduce overhead. Crucially, a stackframe is
not created for the function being traced. This breaks stack unwinding
since the function being traced does not have a stackframe for itself.
As such, it never shows up in the backtrace:

/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat stack_trace

 16)      416     416   system_call_common+0x160/0x2c4

Fix this by having ftrace create a dummy stackframe for the function
being traced. With this, backtraces now capture the function being
traced:

/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat stack_trace
        Depth    Size   Location    (17 entries)

 16)      416     416   system_call_common+0x160/0x2c4

This results in two additional stores in the ftrace entry code, but
produces reliable backtraces.

<title>powerpc: Don't clobber f0/vs0 during fp|altivec register save</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d5103edac4af8b1c85d8a7d9bcbc5c9522718006</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 5e1d824f9a283cbf90f25241b66d1f69adb3835b upstream.

During floating point and vector save to thread data f0/vs0 are
clobbered by the FPSCR/VSCR store routine. This has been obvserved to
lead to userspace register corruption and application data corruption
with io-uring.

Fix it by restoring f0/vs0 after FPSCR/VSCR store has completed for
all the FP, altivec, VMX register save paths.

Tested under QEMU in kvm mode, running on a Talos II workstation with
dual POWER9 DD2.2 CPUs.

Additional detail (mpe):

Typically save_fpu() is called from __giveup_fpu() which saves the FP
regs and also *turns off FP* in the tasks MSR, meaning the kernel will
reload the FP regs from the thread struct before letting the task use FP
again. So in that case save_fpu() is free to clobber f0 because the FP
regs no longer hold live values for the task.

There is another case though, which is the path via:
  sys_clone()
    ...
    copy_process()
      dup_task_struct()
        arch_dup_task_struct()
          flush_all_to_thread()
            save_all()

That path saves the FP regs but leaves them live. That's meant as an
optimisation for a process that's using FP/VSX and then calls fork(),
leaving the regs live means the parent process doesn't have to take a
fault after the fork to get its FP regs back. The optimisation was added
in commit 8792468da5e1 ("powerpc: Add the ability to save FPU without
giving it up").

That path does clobber f0, but f0 is volatile across function calls,
and typically programs reach copy_process() from userspace via a syscall
wrapper function. So in normal usage f0 being clobbered across a
syscall doesn't cause visible data corruption.

But there is now a new path, because io-uring can call copy_process()
via create_io_thread() from the signal handling path. That's OK if the
signal is handled as part of syscall return, but it's not OK if the
signal is handled due to some other interrupt.

That path is:

interrupt_return_srr_user()
  interrupt_exit_user_prepare()
    interrupt_exit_user_prepare_main()
      do_notify_resume()
        get_signal()
          task_work_run()
            create_worker_cb()
              create_io_worker()
                copy_process()
                  dup_task_struct()
                    arch_dup_task_struct()
                      flush_all_to_thread()
                        save_all()
                          if (tsk-&gt;thread.regs-&gt;msr &amp; MSR_FP)
                            save_fpu()
                            # f0 is clobbered and potentially live in userspace

Note the above discussion applies equally to save_altivec().

<title>powerpc/iommu: Fix notifiers being shared by PCI and VIO buses</title>

[ Upstream commit c37b6908f7b2bd24dcaaf14a180e28c9132b9c58 ]

fail_iommu_setup() registers the fail_iommu_bus_notifier struct to both
PCI and VIO buses.  struct notifier_block is a linked list node, so this
causes any notifiers later registered to either bus type to also be
registered to the other since they share the same node.

This causes issues in (at least) the vgaarb code, which registers a
notifier for PCI buses.  pci_notify() ends up being called on a vio
device, converted with to_pci_dev() even though it's not a PCI device,
and finally makes a bad access in vga_arbiter_add_pci_device() as
discovered with KASAN:

 BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in vga_arbiter_add_pci_device+0x60/0xe00

commit b51ba4fe2e134b631f9c8f45423707aab71449b5 upstream.

The assembler says:
  arch/powerpc/kernel/head_32.S:1095: Warning: invalid register expression

It's objecting to the use of r0 as the RA argument. That's because
when RA = 0 the literal value 0 is used, rather than the content of
r0, making the use of r0 in the source potentially confusing.

Fix it to use a literal 0, the generated code is identical.

commit 98ecc6768e8fdba95da1fc1efa0ef2d769e7fe1c upstream.

When building a 32 bit powerpc kernel with Binutils 2.31.1 this warning
is emitted:

 powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `.branch_lt' from
 `arch/powerpc/kernel/head_44x.o' being placed in section `.branch_lt'

As of binutils commit 2d7ad24e8726 ("Support PLT16 relocs against local
symbols")[1], 32 bit targets can produce .branch_lt sections in their
output.

Include these symbols in the .data section as the ppc64 kernel does.

[ Upstream commit 271208ee5e335cb1ad280d22784940daf7ddf820 ]

Using memcpy() isn't safe when buf is identical to rtas_err_buf, which
can happen during boot before slab is up. Full context which may not
be obvious from the diff:

	if (altbuf) {
		buf = altbuf;
	} else {
		buf = rtas_err_buf;
		if (slab_is_available())
			buf = kmalloc(RTAS_ERROR_LOG_MAX, GFP_ATOMIC);
	}
	if (buf)
		memcpy(buf, rtas_err_buf, RTAS_ERROR_LOG_MAX);

This was found by inspection and I'm not aware of it causing problems
in practice. It appears to have been introduced by commit
033ef338b6e0 ("powerpc: Merge rtas.c into arch/powerpc/kernel"); the
old ppc64 version of this code did not have this problem.

Use memmove() instead.

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream.

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

[ Upstream commit 6c606e57eecc37d6b36d732b1ff7e55b7dc32dd4 ]

It's unsafe to use rtas_busy_delay() to handle a busy status from
the ibm,os-term RTAS function in rtas_os_term():

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b

Use rtas_busy_delay_time() instead, which signals without side effects
whether to attempt the ibm,os-term RTAS call again.

[ Upstream commit ed2213bfb192ab51f09f12e9b49b5d482c6493f3 ]

rtas_os_term() is called during panic. Its behavior depends on a couple
of conditions in the /rtas node of the device tree, the traversal of
which entails locking and local IRQ state changes. If the kernel panics
while devtree_lock is held, rtas_os_term() as currently written could
hang.

Instead of discovering the relevant characteristics at panic time,
cache them in file-static variables at boot. Note the lookup for
"ibm,extended-os-term" is converted to of_property_read_bool() since it
is a boolean property, not an RTAS function token.
