commit 8f36ebaf21fdae99c091c67e8b6fab33969f2667 upstream.

When we fault in a page, we flush it to the PoC (Point of Coherency)
if the faulting vcpu has its own caches off, so that it can observe
the page we just brought it.

But if the vcpu has its caches on, we skip that step. Bad things
happen when *another* vcpu tries to access that page with its own
caches disabled. At that point, there is no garantee that the
data has made it to the PoC, and we access stale data.

The obvious fix is to always flush to PoC when a page is faulted
in, no matter what the state of the vcpu is.

commit ddc37832a1349f474c4532de381498020ed71d31 upstream.

On APQ8060, the kernel crashes in arch_hw_breakpoint_init, taking an
undefined instruction trap within write_wb_reg. This is because Scorpion
CPUs erroneously appear to set DBGPRSR.SPD when WFI is issued, even if
the core is not powered down. When DBGPRSR.SPD is set, breakpoint and
watchpoint registers are treated as undefined.

It's possible to trigger similar crashes later on from userspace, by
requesting the kernel to install a breakpoint or watchpoint, as we can
go idle at any point between the reset of the debug registers and their
later use. This has always been the case.

Given that this has always been broken, no-one has complained until now,
and there is no clear workaround, disable hardware breakpoints and
watchpoints on Scorpion to avoid these issues.

commit d248220f0465b818887baa9829e691fe662b2c5e upstream.

Since commit 6ce0d2001692 ("ARM: dma: Use dma_pfn_offset for dma address translation"),
dma_to_pfn() already returns the PFN with the physical memory start offset
so we don't need to add it again.

This fixes USB mass storage lock-up problem on systems that can't do DMA
over the entire physical memory range (e.g.) Keystone 2 systems with 4GB RAM
can only do DMA over the first 2GB. [K2E-EVM].

What happens there is that without this patch SCSI layer sets a wrong
bounce buffer limit in scsi_calculate_bounce_limit() for the USB mass
storage device. dma_max_pfn() evaluates to 0x8fffff and bounce_limit
is set to 0x8fffff000 whereas maximum DMA'ble physical memory on Keystone 2
is 0x87fffffff. This results in non DMA'ble pages being given to the
USB controller and hence the lock-up.

NOTE: in the above case, USB-SCSI-device's dma_pfn_offset was showing as 0.
This should have really been 0x780000 as on K2e, LOWMEM_START is 0x80000000
and HIGHMEM_START is 0x800000000. DMA zone is 2GB so dma_max_pfn should be
0x87ffff. The incorrect dma_pfn_offset for the USB storage device is because
USB devices are not correctly inheriting the dma_pfn_offset from the
USB host controller. This will be fixed by a separate patch.

commit 56530f5d2ddc9b9fade7ef8db9cb886e9dc689b5 upstream.

Currently pmd_mknotpresent will use a zero entry to respresent an
invalidated pmd.

Unfortunately this definition clashes with pmd_none, thus it is
possible for a race condition to occur if zap_pmd_range sees pmd_none
whilst __split_huge_pmd_locked is running too with pmdp_invalidate
just called.

This patch fixes the race condition by modifying pmd_mknotpresent to
create non-zero faulting entries (as is done in other architectures),
removing the ambiguity with pmd_none.

commit 624531886987f0f1b5d01fb598034d039198e090 upstream.

In a subsequent patch, pmd_mknotpresent will clear the valid bit of the
pmd entry, resulting in a not-present entry from the hardware's
perspective. Unfortunately, pmd_present simply checks for a non-zero pmd
value and will therefore continue to return true even after a
pmd_mknotpresent operation. Since pmd_mknotpresent is only used for
managing huge entries, this is only an issue for the 3-level case.

This patch fixes the 3-level pmd_present implementation to take into
account the valid bit. For bisectability, the change is made before the
fix to pmd_mknotpresent.

commit 04b8dc85bf4a64517e3cf20e409eeaa503b15cc1 upstream.

The kernel's pgd_index macro is designed to index a normal, page
sized array. KVM is a bit diffferent, as we can use concatenated
pages to have a bigger address space (for example 40bit IPA with
4kB pages gives us an 8kB PGD.

In the above case, the use of pgd_index will always return an index
inside the first 4kB, which makes a guest that has memory above
0x8000000000 rather unhappy, as it spins forever in a page fault,
whist the host happilly corrupts the lower pgd.

The obvious fix is to get our own kvm_pgd_index that does the right
thing(tm).

Tested on X-Gene with a hacked kvmtool that put memory at a stupidly
high address.

commit 957db105c99792ae8ef61ffc9ae77d910f6471da upstream.

Introduce a new function to unmap user RAM regions in the stage2 page
tables.  This is needed on reboot (or when the guest turns off the MMU)
to ensure we fault in pages again and make the dcache, RAM, and icache
coherent.

Using unmap_stage2_range for the whole guest physical range does not
work, because that unmaps IO regions (such as the GIC) which will not be
recreated or in the best case faulted in on a page-by-page basis.

Call this function on secondary and subsequent calls to the
KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ioctl so that a reset VCPU will detect the guest
Stage-1 MMU is off when faulting in pages and make the caches coherent.

work, because that unmaps IO regions (such as the GIC) which will not be
recreated or in the best case faulted in on a page-by-page basis.

Call this function on secondary and subsequent calls to the
KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ioctl so that a reset VCPU will detect the guest
Stage-1 MMU is off when faulting in pages and make the caches coherent.

commit b856a59141b1066d3c896a0d0231f84dabd040af upstream.

When userspace resets the vcpu using KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT, we should also
reset the HCR, because we now modify the HCR dynamically to
enable/disable trapping of guest accesses to the VM registers.

This is crucial for reboot of VMs working since otherwise we will not be
doing the necessary cache maintenance operations when faulting in pages
with the guest MMU off.

<title>ARM/arm64: KVM: fix use of WnR bit in kvm_is_write_fault()</title>

commit a7d079cea2dffb112e26da2566dd84c0ef1fce97 upstream.

The ISS encoding for an exception from a Data Abort has a WnR
bit[6] that indicates whether the Data Abort was caused by a
read or a write instruction. While there are several fields
in the encoding that are only valid if the ISV bit[24] is set,
WnR is not one of them, so we can read it unconditionally.

Instead of fixing both implementations of kvm_is_write_fault()
in place, reimplement it just once using kvm_vcpu_dabt_iswrite(),
which already does the right thing with respect to the WnR bit.
Also fix up the callers to pass 'vcpu'

commit 6951e48bff0b55d2a8e825a953fc1f8e3a34bf1c upstream.

Sparse kicks up about a type mismatch for kvm_target_cpu:

arch/arm64/kvm/guest.c:271:25: error: symbol 'kvm_target_cpu' redeclared with different type (originally declared at ./arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_host.h:45) - different modifiers

so fix this by adding the missing const attribute to the function
declaration.
