commit e561e472a3d441753bd012333b057f48fef1045b upstream.

The platform's RNG must be available before random_init() in order to be
useful for initial seeding, which in turn means that it needs to be
called from setup_arch(), rather than from an init call. Fortunately,
each platform already has a setup_arch function pointer, which means
it's easy to wire this up. This commit also removes some noisy log
messages that don't add much.

[ Upstream commit ed8029d7b472369a010a1901358567ca3b6dbb0d ]

RCU complains about us calling printk() from an offline CPU:

The pci_bus-&gt;bridge reference may no longer be valid after
pci_bus_remove() resulting in passing a bad value to device_unregister()
for the associated bridge device.

Store the host_bridge reference in a separate variable prior to
pci_bus_remove().

[ Upstream commit 768d70e19ba525debd571b36e6d0ab19956c63d7 ]

dlpar_configure_connector() has two problems in its handling of
ibm,configure-connector's return status:

1. When the status is -2 (busy, call again), we call
   ibm,configure-connector again immediately without checking whether
   to schedule, which can result in monopolizing the CPU.
2. Extended delay status (9900..9905) goes completely unhandled,
   causing the configuration to unnecessarily terminate.

Fix both of these issues by using rtas_busy_delay().

<title>powerpc/pseries/hibernation: drop pseries_suspend_begin() from suspend ops</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 52719fce3f4c7a8ac9eaa191e8d75a697f9fbcbc ]

There are three ways pseries_suspend_begin() can be reached:

1. When "mem" is written to /sys/power/state:

kobj_attr_store()
-&gt; state_store()
  -&gt; pm_suspend()
    -&gt; suspend_devices_and_enter()
      -&gt; pseries_suspend_begin()

This never works because there is no way to supply a valid stream id
using this interface, and H_VASI_STATE is called with a stream id of
zero. So this call path is useless at best.

2. When a stream id is written to /sys/devices/system/power/hibernate.
pseries_suspend_begin() is polled directly from store_hibernate()
until the stream is in the "Suspending" state (i.e. the platform is
ready for the OS to suspend execution):

dev_attr_store()
-&gt; store_hibernate()
  -&gt; pseries_suspend_begin()

3. When a stream id is written to /sys/devices/system/power/hibernate
(continued). After #2, pseries_suspend_begin() is called once again
from the pm core:

dev_attr_store()
-&gt; store_hibernate()
  -&gt; pm_suspend()
    -&gt; suspend_devices_and_enter()
      -&gt; pseries_suspend_begin()

This is redundant because the VASI suspend state is already known to
be Suspending.

The begin() callback of platform_suspend_ops is optional, so we can
simply remove that assignment with no loss of function.

commit 9a32a7e78bd0cd9a9b6332cbdc345ee5ffd0c5de upstream.

IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1 cache before
it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction mechanism. It is not possible
for an attacker to determine the contents of impermissible memory using this method,
since these systems implement a combination of hardware and software security measures
to prevent scenarios where protected data could be leaked.

However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker induces
the operating system to speculatively execute instructions using data that the
attacker controls. This can be used for example to speculatively bypass "kernel
user access prevention" techniques, as discovered by Anthony Steinhauser of
Google's Safeside Project. This is not an attack by itself, but there is a possibility
it could be used in conjunction with side-channels or other weaknesses in the
privileged code to construct an attack.

This issue can be mitigated by flushing the L1 cache between privilege boundaries
of concern. This patch flushes the L1 cache after user accesses.

This is part of the fix for CVE-2020-4788.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Do not initiate shutdown when system is running on UPS</title>

commit 90a9b102eddf6a3f987d15f4454e26a2532c1c98 upstream.

As per PAPR we have to look for both EPOW sensor value and event
modifier to identify the type of event and take appropriate action.

In LoPAPR v1.1 section 10.2.2 includes table 136 "EPOW Action Codes":

  SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN 3

  The system must be shut down. An EPOW-aware OS logs the EPOW error
  log information, then schedules the system to be shut down to begin
  after an OS defined delay internal (default is 10 minutes.)

Then in section 10.3.2.2.8 there is table 146 "Platform Event Log
Format, Version 6, EPOW Section", which includes the "EPOW Event
Modifier":

  For EPOW sensor value = 3
  0x01 = Normal system shutdown with no additional delay
  0x02 = Loss of utility power, system is running on UPS/Battery
  0x03 = Loss of system critical functions, system should be shutdown
  0x04 = Ambient temperature too high
  All other values = reserved

We have a user space tool (rtas_errd) on LPAR to monitor for
EPOW_SHUTDOWN_ON_UPS. Once it gets an event it initiates shutdown
after predefined time. It also starts monitoring for any new EPOW
events. If it receives "Power restored" event before predefined time
it will cancel the shutdown. Otherwise after predefined time it will
shutdown the system.

Commit 79872e35469b ("powerpc/pseries: All events of
EPOW_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN must initiate shutdown") changed our handling of
the "on UPS/Battery" case, to immediately shutdown the system. This
breaks existing setups that rely on the userspace tool to delay
shutdown and let the system run on the UPS.
