commit a3aa256b7258b3d19f8b44557cc64525a993b941 upstream.

The PE primary bus cannot be got from its child devices when having
full hotplug in error recovery. The PE primary bus is cached, which
is done in commit &lt;05ba75f84864&gt; ("powerpc/eeh: Fix stale cached primary
bus"). In eeh_reset_device(), the flag (EEH_PE_PRI_BUS) is cleared
before the PCI hot remove. eeh_pe_bus_get() then returns NULL as the
PE primary bus in pnv_eeh_reset() and it crashes the kernel eventually.

This fixes the issue by clearing the flag (EEH_PE_PRI_BUS) before the
PCI hot add. With it, the PowerNV EEH reset backend (pnv_eeh_reset())
can get valid PE primary bus through eeh_pe_bus_get().

commit 8e96a87c5431c256feb65bcfc5aec92d9f7839b6 upstream.

Userspace can quite legitimately perform an exec() syscall with a
suspended transaction. exec() does not return to the old process, rather
it load a new one and starts that, the expectation therefore is that the
new process starts not in a transaction. Currently exec() is not treated
any differently to any other syscall which creates problems.

Firstly it could allow a new process to start with a suspended
transaction for a binary that no longer exists. This means that the
checkpointed state won't be valid and if the suspended transaction were
ever to be resumed and subsequently aborted (a possibility which is
exceedingly likely as exec()ing will likely doom the transaction) the
new process will jump to invalid state.

Secondly the incorrect attempt to keep the transactional state while
still zeroing state for the new process creates at least two TM Bad
Things. The first triggers on the rfid to return to userspace as
start_thread() has given the new process a 'clean' MSR but the suspend
will still be set in the hardware MSR. The second TM Bad Thing triggers
in __switch_to() as the processor is still transactionally suspended but
__switch_to() wants to zero the TM sprs for the new process.

This is an example of the outcome of calling exec() with a suspended
transaction. Note the first 700 is likely the first TM bad thing
decsribed earlier only the kernel can't report it as we've loaded
userspace registers. c000000000009980 is the rfid in
fast_exception_return()

commit 2c2a63e301fd19ccae673e79de59b30a232ff7f9 upstream.

The recent commit 7cc851039d64 ("powerpc/pseries: Add POWER8NVL support
to ibm,client-architecture-support call") added a new PVR mask &amp; value
to the start of the ibm_architecture_vec[] array.

However it missed the fact that further down in the array, we hard code
the offset of one of the fields, and then at boot use that value to
patch the value in the array. This means every update to the array must
also update the #define, ugh.

This means that on pseries machines we will misreport to firmware the
number of cores we support, by a factor of threads_per_core.

Fix it for now by updating the #define.

commit 7cc851039d643a2ee7df4d18177150f2c3a484f5 upstream.

If we do not provide the PVR for POWER8NVL, a guest on this system
currently ends up in PowerISA 2.06 compatibility mode on KVM, since QEMU
does not provide a generic PowerISA 2.07 mode yet. So some new
instructions from POWER8 (like "mtvsrd") get disabled for the guest,
resulting in crashes when using code compiled explicitly for
POWER8 (e.g. with the "-mcpu=power8" option of GCC).

commit 5a0cdbfd17b90a89c64a71d8aec9773ecdb20d0d upstream.

The function eeh_pe_reset_and_recover() is used to recover EEH
error when the passthrou device are transferred to guest and
backwards. The content in the device's config space will be lost
on PE reset issued in the middle of the recovery. The function
saves/restores it before/after the reset. However, config access
to some adapters like Broadcom BCM5719 at this point will causes
fenced PHB. The config space is always blocked and we save 0xFF's
that are restored at late point. The memory BARs are totally
corrupted, causing another EEH error upon access to one of the
memory BARs.

This restores the config space on those adapters like BCM5719
from the content saved to the EEH device when it's populated,
to resolve above issue.

commit c2078d9ef600bdbe568c89e5ddc2c6f15b7982c8 upstream.

This reverts commit 89a51df5ab1d38b257300b8ac940bbac3bb0eb9b.

The function eeh_add_device_early() is used to perform EEH
initialization in devices added later on the system, like in
hotplug/DLPAR scenarios. Since the commit 89a51df5ab1d ("powerpc/eeh:
Fix crash in eeh_add_device_early() on Cell") a new check was introduced
in this function - Cell has no EEH capabilities which led to kernel oops
if hotplug was performed, so checking for eeh_enabled() was introduced
to avoid the issue.

However, in architectures that EEH is present like pSeries or PowerNV,
we might reach a case in which no PCI devices are present on boot time
and so EEH is not initialized. Then, if a device is added via DLPAR for
example, eeh_add_device_early() fails because eeh_enabled() is false,
and EEH end up not being enabled at all.

This reverts the aforementioned patch since a new verification was
introduced by the commit d91dafc02f42 ("powerpc/eeh: Delay probing EEH
device during hotplug") and so the original Cell issue does not happen
anymore.

commit affeb0f2d3a9af419ad7ef4ac782e1540b2f7b28 upstream.

The function eeh_pe_reset_and_recover() is used to recover EEH
error when the passthrough device are transferred to guest and
backwards, meaning the device's driver is vfio-pci or none.
When the driver is vfio-pci that provides error_detected() error
handler only, the handler simply stops the guest and it's not
expected behaviour. On the other hand, no error handlers will
be called if we don't have a bound driver.

This ignores the error handler in eeh_pe_reset_and_recover()
that reports the error to device driver to avoid the exceptional
behaviour.

<title>powerpc/book3s64: Fix branching to OOL handlers in relocatable kernel</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f3dc33df76b0843af9a8ca3871fc22b103024ed8</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8ed8ab40047a570fdd8043a40c104a57248dd3fd upstream.

Some of the interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER server processors are only
32 bytes long (8 instructions), which is not enough for the full
first-level interrupt handler. For these we need to branch to an
out-of-line (OOL) handler. But when we are running a relocatable kernel,
interrupt vectors till __end_interrupts marker are copied down to real
address 0x100. So, branching to labels (ie. OOL handlers) outside this
section must be handled differently (see LOAD_HANDLER()), considering
relocatable kernel, which would need at least 4 instructions.

However, branching from interrupt vector means that we corrupt the
CFAR (come-from address register) on POWER7 and later processors as
mentioned in commit 1707dd16. So, EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 (6 instructions)
that contains the part up to the point where the CFAR is saved in the
PACA should be part of the short interrupt vectors before we branch out
to OOL handlers.

But as mentioned already, there are interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER
server processors that are only 32 bytes long (like vectors 0x4f00,
0x4f20, etc.), which cannot accomodate the above two cases at the same
time owing to space constraint. Currently, in these interrupt vectors,
we simply branch out to OOL handlers, without using LOAD_HANDLER(),
which leaves us vulnerable when running a relocatable kernel (eg. kdump
case). While this has been the case for sometime now and kdump is used
widely, we were fortunate not to see any problems so far, for three
reasons:

  1. In almost all cases, production kernel (relocatable) is used for
     kdump as well, which would mean that crashed kernel's OOL handler
     would be at the same place where we end up branching to, from short
     interrupt vector of kdump kernel.
  2. Also, OOL handler was unlikely the reason for crash in almost all
     the kdump scenarios, which meant we had a sane OOL handler from
     crashed kernel that we branched to.
  3. On most 64-bit POWER server processors, page size is large enough
     that marking interrupt vector code as executable (see commit
     429d2e83) leads to marking OOL handler code from crashed kernel,
     that sits right below interrupt vector code from kdump kernel, as
     executable as well.

Let us fix this by moving the __end_interrupts marker down past OOL
handlers to make sure that we also copy OOL handlers to real address
0x100 when running a relocatable kernel.

This fix has been tested successfully in kdump scenario, on an LPAR with
4K page size by using different default/production kernel and kdump
kernel.

Also tested by manually corrupting the OOL handlers in the first kernel
and then kdump'ing, and then causing the OOL handlers to fire - mpe.

<content type='text'>
We need to update the user TM feature bits (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM and
PPC_FEATURE2_HTM) to mirror what we do with the kernel TM feature
bit.

At the moment, if firmware reports TM is not available we turn off
the kernel TM feature bit but leave the userspace ones on. Userspace
thinks it can execute TM instructions and it dies trying.

This (together with a QEMU patch) fixes PR KVM, which doesn't currently
support TM.
