<id>urn:sha1:0638dcc7e75fbb766761e7b4694d0f0f141bbbd1</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3f649ab728cda8038259d8f14492fe400fbab911 upstream.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

Avoid a potentially large stack frame and overflow by making
"cpumask_t avail" a static variable. There is no concurrent
access due to the existing locking.

commit b5e438ebd7e808d1d2435159ac4742e01a94b8da upstream.

Not resetting the SMT siblings might leave them in unpredictable
state. One of the observed problems was that the CPU timer wasn't
reset and therefore large system time values where accounted during
CPU bringup.

<title>s390/smp: move rcu_cpu_starting() earlier</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit de5d9dae150ca1c1b5c7676711a9ca139d1a8dec ]

The call to rcu_cpu_starting() in smp_init_secondary() is not early
enough in the CPU-hotplug onlining process, which results in lockdep
splats as follows:

 WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
 -----------------------------
 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3497 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

 other info that might help us debug this:

 RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
 rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
 no locks held by swapper/1/0.

 Call Trace:
 show_stack+0x158/0x1f0

This is avoided by moving the call to rcu_cpu_starting up near the
beginning of the smp_init_secondary() function. Note that the
raw_smp_processor_id() is required in order to avoid calling into
lockdep before RCU has declared the CPU to be watched for readers.

<title>s390: avoid misusing CALL_ON_STACK for task stack setup</title>

[ Upstream commit 7bcaad1f9fac889f5fcd1a383acf7e00d006da41 ]

CALL_ON_STACK is intended to be used for temporary stack switching with
potential return to the caller.

When CALL_ON_STACK is misused to switch from nodat stack to task stack
back_chain information would later lead stack unwinder from task stack into
(per cpu) nodat stack which is reused for other purposes. This would
yield confusing unwinding result or errors.

To avoid that introduce CALL_ON_STACK_NORETURN to be used instead. It
makes sure that back_chain is zeroed and unwinder finishes gracefully
ending up at task pt_regs.

Switching tracers include instruction patching. To prevent that a
instruction is patched while it's read the instruction patching is done
in stop_machine 'context'. This also means that any function called
during stop_machine must not be traced. Thus add 'notrace' to all
functions called within stop_machine.

commit 0b38b5e1d0e2f361e418e05c179db05bb688bbd6 upstream.

When userspace executes a syscall or gets interrupted,
BEAR contains a kernel address when returning to userspace.
This make it pretty easy to figure out where the kernel is
mapped even with KASLR enabled. To fix this, add lpswe to
lowcore and always execute it there, so userspace sees only
the lowcore address of lpswe. For this we have to extend
both critical_cleanup and the SWITCH_ASYNC macro to also check
for lpswe addresses in lowcore.

<title>s390/smp: fix physical to logical CPU map for SMT</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 72a81ad9d6d62dcb79f7e8ad66ffd1c768b72026 ]

If an SMT capable system is not IPL'ed from the first CPU the setup of
the physical to logical CPU mapping is broken: the IPL core gets CPU
number 0, but then the next core gets CPU number 1. Correct would be
that all SMT threads of CPU 0 get the subsequent logical CPU numbers.

This is important since a lot of code (like e.g. the CPU topology
code) assumes that CPU maps are setup like this. If the mapping is
broken the system will not IPL due to broken topology masks:

[    1.716341] BUG: arch topology broken
[    1.716342]      the SMT domain not a subset of the MC domain
[    1.716343] BUG: arch topology broken
[    1.716344]      the MC domain not a subset of the BOOK domain

This scenario can usually not happen since LPARs are always IPL'ed
from CPU 0 and also re-IPL is intiated from CPU 0. However older
kernels did initiate re-IPL on an arbitrary CPU. If therefore a re-IPL
from an old kernel into a new kernel is initiated this may lead to
crash.

Fix this by setting up the physical to logical CPU mapping correctly.

<title>s390/smp,vdso: fix ASCE handling</title>

<content type='text'>
commit a2308c11ecbc3471ebb7435ee8075815b1502ef0 upstream.

When a secondary CPU is brought up it must initialize its control
registers. CPU A which triggers that a secondary CPU B is brought up
stores its control register contents into the lowcore of new CPU B,
which then loads these values on startup.

This is problematic in various ways: the control register which
contains the home space ASCE will correctly contain the kernel ASCE;
however control registers for primary and secondary ASCEs are
initialized with whatever values were present in CPU A.

Typically:
- the primary ASCE will contain the user process ASCE of the process
  that triggered onlining of CPU B.
- the secondary ASCE will contain the percpu VDSO ASCE of CPU A.

Due to lazy ASCE handling we may also end up with other combinations.

When then CPU B switches to a different process (!= idle) it will
fixup the primary ASCE. However the problem is that the (wrong) ASCE
from CPU A was loaded into control register 1: as soon as an ASCE is
attached (aka loaded) a CPU is free to generate TLB entries using that
address space.
Even though it is very unlikey that CPU B will actually generate such
entries, this could result in TLB entries of the address space of the
process that ran on CPU A. These entries shouldn't exist at all and
could cause problems later on.

Furthermore the secondary ASCE of CPU B will not be updated correctly.
This means that processes may see wrong results or even crash if they
access VDSO data on CPU B. The correct VDSO ASCE will eventually be
loaded on return to user space as soon as the kernel executed a call
to strnlen_user or an atomic futex operation on CPU B.

Fix both issues by intializing the to be loaded control register
contents with the correct ASCEs and also enforce (re-)loading of the
ASCEs upon first context switch and return to user space.

<content type='text'>
The stop_machine loop to advance the state machine and to wait for all
affected CPUs to check-in calls cpu_relax_yield in a tight loop until
the last missing CPUs acknowledged the state transition.

On a virtual system where not all logical CPUs are backed by real CPUs
all the time it can take a while for all CPUs to check-in. With the
current definition of cpu_relax_yield a diagnose 0x44 is done which
tells the hypervisor to schedule *some* other CPU. That can be any
CPU and not necessarily one of the CPUs that need to run in order to
advance the state machine. This can lead to a pretty bad diagnose 0x44
storm until the last missing CPU finally checked-in.

Replace the undirected cpu_relax_yield based on diagnose 0x44 with a
directed yield. Each CPU in the wait loop will pick up the next CPU
in the cpumask of stop_machine. The diagnose 0x9c is used to tell the
hypervisor to run this next CPU instead of the current one. If there
is only a limited number of real CPUs backing the virtual CPUs we
end up with the real CPUs passed around in a round-robin fashion.
