[ Upstream commit 95839225639ba7c3d8d7231b542728dcf222bf2d ]

Commit a21d1becaa3f ("powerpc: Reintroduce is_kvm_guest() as a fast-path
check") added is_kvm_guest() and changed kvm_para_available() to use it.

is_kvm_guest() checks a static key, kvm_guest, and that static key is
set in check_kvm_guest().

The problem is check_kvm_guest() is only called on pseries, and even
then only in some configurations. That means is_kvm_guest() always
returns false on all non-pseries and some pseries depending on
configuration. That's a bug.

For PR KVM guests this is noticable because they no longer do live
patching of themselves, which can be detected by the omission of a
message in dmesg such as:

  KVM: Live patching for a fast VM worked

To fix it make check_kvm_guest() an initcall, to ensure it's always
called at boot. It needs to be core so that it runs before
kvm_guest_init() which is postcore. To be an initcall it needs to return
int, where 0 means success, so update that.

We still call it manually in pSeries_smp_probe(), because that runs
before init calls are run.

[ Upstream commit f35d2f249ef05b9671e7898f09ad89aa78f99122 ]

copy-paste contains implicit "copy buffer" state that can contain
arbitrary user data (if the user process executes a copy instruction).
This could be snooped by another process if a context switch hits while
the state is live. So cp_abort is executed on context switch to clear
out possible sensitive data and prevent the leak.

cp_abort is done after the low level _switch(), which means it is never
reached by newly created tasks, so they could snoop on this buffer
between their first and second context switch.

Fix this by doing the cp_abort before calling _switch. Add some
comments which should make the issue harder to miss.

printk_safe_flush_on_panic() has special lock breaking code for the case
where we panic()ed with the console lock held. It relies on panic IPI
causing other CPUs to mark themselves offline.

Do as most other architectures do.

This effectively reverts commit de6e5d38417e ("powerpc: smp_send_stop do
not offline stopped CPUs"), unfortunately it may result in some false
positive warnings, but the alternative is more situations where we can
crash without getting messages out.

POWER9 and POWER10 asynchronous machine checks due to stores have their
cause reported in SRR1 but SRR1[42] is set, which in other cases
indicates DSISR cause.

Check for these cases and clear SRR1[42], so the cause matching uses
the i-side (SRR1) table.

<title>sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled</title>

[ Upstream commit f1a0a376ca0c4ef1fc3d24e3e502acbb5b795674 ]

As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -&gt; idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().

Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle:

  @begone@
  @@

  -preempt_disable();
  ...
  cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE);

<title>powerpc/stacktrace: Fix spurious "stale" traces in raise_backtrace_ipi()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=5bf5cb00958fbfcec05486965f4ed5695d7f5718'/>
<id>urn:sha1:5bf5cb00958fbfcec05486965f4ed5695d7f5718</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 7c6986ade69e3c81bac831645bc72109cd798a80 upstream.

In raise_backtrace_ipi() we iterate through the cpumask of CPUs, sending
each an IPI asking them to do a backtrace, but we don't wait for the
backtrace to happen.

We then iterate through the CPU mask again, and if any CPU hasn't done
the backtrace and cleared itself from the mask, we print a trace on its
behalf, noting that the trace may be "stale".

This works well enough when a CPU is not responding, because in that
case it doesn't receive the IPI and the sending CPU is left to print the
trace. But when all CPUs are responding we are left with a race between
the sending and receiving CPUs, if the sending CPU wins the race then it
will erroneously print a trace.

This leads to spurious "stale" traces from the sending CPU, which can
then be interleaved messily with the receiving CPU, note the CPU
numbers, eg:

  [ 1658.929157][    C7] rcu: Stack dump where RCU GP kthread last ran:
  [ 1658.929223][    C7] Sending NMI from CPU 7 to CPUs 1:
  [ 1658.929303][    C1] NMI backtrace for cpu 1
  [ 1658.929303][    C7] CPU 1 didn't respond to backtrace IPI, inspecting paca.
  [ 1658.929362][    C1] CPU: 1 PID: 325 Comm: kworker/1:1H Tainted: G        W   E     5.13.0-rc2+ #46
  [ 1658.929405][    C7] irq_soft_mask: 0x01 in_mce: 0 in_nmi: 0 current: 325 (kworker/1:1H)
  [ 1658.929465][    C1] Workqueue: events_highpri test_work_fn [test_lockup]
  [ 1658.929549][    C7] Back trace of paca-&gt;saved_r1 (0xc0000000057fb400) (possibly stale):
  [ 1658.929592][    C1] NIP:  c00000000002cf50 LR: c008000000820178 CTR: c00000000002cfa0

To fix it, change the logic so that the sending CPU waits 5s for the
receiving CPU to print its trace. If the receiving CPU prints its trace
successfully then the sending CPU just continues, avoiding any spurious
"stale" trace.

This has the added benefit of allowing all CPUs to print their traces in
order and avoids any interleaving of their output.

commit 82123a3d1d5a306fdf50c968a474cc60fe43a80f upstream.

When checking if the probed instruction is the suffix of a prefixed
instruction, we access the instruction at the previous word. If the
probed instruction is the very first word of a module, we can end up
trying to access an invalid page.

Fix this by skipping the check for all instructions at the beginning of
a page. Prefixed instructions cannot cross a 64-byte boundary and as
such, we don't expect to encounter a suffix as the very first word in a
page for kernel text. Even if there are prefixed instructions crossing
a page boundary (from a module, for instance), the instruction will be
illegal, so preventing probing on the suffix of such prefix instructions
isn't worthwhile.

[ Upstream commit e2f5efd0f0e229bd110eab513e7c0331d61a4649 ]

The immediate problem is that after commit
0bd3f9e953bd ("powerpc/legacy_serial: Use early_ioremap()") the kernel
silently reboots on some systems.

The reason is that early_ioremap() returns broken addresses as it uses
slot_virt[] array which initialized with offsets from FIXADDR_TOP ==
IOREMAP_END+FIXADDR_SIZE == KERN_IO_END - FIXADDR_SIZ + FIXADDR_SIZE ==
__kernel_io_end which is 0 when early_ioremap_setup() is called.
__kernel_io_end is initialized little bit later in early_init_mmu().

This fixes the initialization by swapping early_ioremap_setup() and
early_init_mmu().

[ Upstream commit cc7130bf119add37f36238343a593b71ef6ecc1e ]

The IOMMU table is divided into pools for concurrent mappings and each
pool has a separate spinlock. When taking the ownership of an IOMMU group
to pass through a device to a VM, we lock these spinlocks which triggers
a false negative warning in lockdep (below).

This fixes it by annotating the large pool's spinlock as a nest lock
which makes lockdep not complaining when locking nested locks if
the nest lock is locked already.

---[ end trace 532d9066d3d4d7ec ]---

Some of the per-CPU masks use cpu_cpu_mask as a filter to limit the search
for related CPUs. On a dlpar add of a CPU, update cpu_cpu_mask before
updating the per-CPU masks. This will ensure the cpu_cpu_mask is updated
correctly before its used in setting the masks. Setting the numa_node will
ensure that when cpu_cpu_mask() gets called, the correct node number is
used. This code movement helped fix the above call trace.
