[ Upstream commit 9dfbf78e4114fcaf4ef61c49885c3ab5bad40d0b ]

If there is no d-cache-size property in the device tree, l1d_size could
be zero. We don't actually expect that to happen, it's only been seen
on mambo (simulator) in some configurations.

A zero-size l1d_size leads to the loop in the asm wrapping around to
2^64-1, and then walking off the end of the fallback area and
eventually causing a page fault which is fatal.

Just default to 64K which is correct on some CPUs, and sane enough to
not cause a crash on others.

<title>powerpc/mm/slice: Fix hugepage allocation at hint address on 8xx</title>

[ Upstream commit aa0ab02ba992eb956934b21373e0138211486ddd ]

On the 8xx, the page size is set in the PMD entry and applies to
all pages of the page table pointed by the said PMD entry.

When an app has some regular pages allocated (e.g. see below) and tries
to mmap() a huge page at a hint address covered by the same PMD entry,
the kernel accepts the hint allthough the 8xx cannot handle different
page sizes in the same PMD entry.

10000000-10001000 r-xp 00000000 00:0f 2597 /root/malloc
10010000-10011000 rwxp 00000000 00:0f 2597 /root/malloc

mmap(0x10080000, 524288, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
     MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS|0x40000, -1, 0) = 0x10080000

This results the app remaining forever in do_page_fault()/hugetlb_fault()
and when interrupting that app, we get the following warning:

[162985.363322] BUG: non-zero nr_ptes on freeing mm: -1

In order to fix this, this patch uses the address space "slices"
implemented for BOOK3S/64 and enhanced to support PPC32 by the
preceding patch.

This patch modifies the context.id on the 8xx to be in the range
[1:16] instead of [0:15] in order to identify context.id == 0 as
not initialised contexts as done on BOOK3S

This patch activates CONFIG_PPC_MM_SLICES when CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is
selected for the 8xx

Alltough we could in theory have as many slices as PMD entries, the
current slices implementation limits the number of low slices to 16.
This limitation is not preventing us to fix the initial issue allthough
it is suboptimal. It will be cured in a subsequent patch.

<title>powerpc/64s: sreset panic if there is no debugger or crash dump handlers</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit d40b6768e45bd9213139b2d91d30c7692b6007b1 ]

system_reset_exception does most of its own crash handling now,
invoking the debugger or crash dumps if they are registered. If not,
then it goes through to die() to print stack traces, and then is
supposed to panic (according to comments).

However after die() prints oopses, it does its own handling which
doesn't allow system_reset_exception to panic (e.g., it may just
kill the current process). This patch causes sreset exceptions to
return from die after it prints messages but before acting.

This also stops die from invoking the debugger on 0x100 crashes.
system_reset_exception similarly calls the debugger. It had been
thought this was harmless (because if the debugger was disabled,
neither call would fire, and if it was enabled the first call
would return). However in some cases like xmon 'X' command, the
debugger returns 0, which currently causes it to be entered
again (first in system_reset_exception, then in die), which is
confusing.

[ Upstream commit 709b973c844c0b4d115ac3a227a2e5a68722c912 ]

The function get_user() can sleep while trying to fetch instruction
from user address space and causes the following warning from the
scheduler.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context

Though interrupts get enabled back but it happens bit later after
get_user() is called. This change moves enabling these interrupts
earlier covering the function get_user(). While at this, lets check
for kernel mode and crash as this interrupt should not have been
triggered from the kernel context.

commit faf37c44a105f3608115785f17cbbf3500f8bc71 upstream.

Clear the PCR (Processor Compatibility Register) on boot to ensure we
are not running in a compatibility mode.

We've seen this cause problems when a crash (and kdump) occurs while
running compat mode guests. The kdump kernel then runs with the PCR
set and causes problems. The symptom in the kdump kernel (also seen in
petitboot after fast-reboot) is early userspace programs taking
sigills on newer instructions (seen in libc).

<title>powerpc/64s: Add support for a store forwarding barrier at kernel entry/exit</title>

<content type='text'>
commit a048a07d7f4535baa4cbad6bc024f175317ab938 upstream.

On some CPUs we can prevent a vulnerability related to store-to-load
forwarding by preventing store forwarding between privilege domains,
by inserting a barrier in kernel entry and exit paths.

This is known to be the case on at least Power7, Power8 and Power9
powerpc CPUs.

Barriers must be inserted generally before the first load after moving
to a higher privilege, and after the last store before moving to a
lower privilege, HV and PR privilege transitions must be protected.

Barriers are added as patch sections, with all kernel/hypervisor entry
points patched, and the exit points to lower privilge levels patched
similarly to the RFI flush patching.

Firmware advertisement is not implemented yet, so CPU flush types
are hard coded.

Thanks to Michal Suchánek for bug fixes and review.

commit d6fbe1c55c55c6937cbea3531af7da84ab7473c3 upstream.

Add a definition for cpu_show_spectre_v2() to override the generic
version. This has several permuations, though in practice some may not
occur we cater for any combination.

The most verbose is:

  Mitigation: Indirect branch serialisation (kernel only), Indirect
  branch cache disabled, ori31 speculation barrier enabled

We don't treat the ori31 speculation barrier as a mitigation on its
own, because it has to be *used* by code in order to be a mitigation
and we don't know if userspace is doing that. So if that's all we see
we say:

  Vulnerable, ori31 speculation barrier enabled

Add a definition for cpu_show_spectre_v1() to override the generic
version. Currently this just prints "Not affected" or "Vulnerable"
based on the firmware flag.

Although the kernel does have array_index_nospec() in a few places, we
haven't yet audited all the powerpc code to see where it's necessary,
so for now we don't list that as a mitigation.
