commit 10835c854685393a921b68f529bf740fa7c9984d upstream.

On parisc the privilege level of a process is stored in the lowest two bits of
the instruction pointers (IAOQ0 and IAOQ1). On Linux we use privilege level 0
for the kernel and privilege level 3 for user-space. So userspace should not be
allowed to modify IAOQ0 or IAOQ1 of a ptraced process to change it's privilege
level to e.g. 0 to try to gain kernel privileges.

This patch prevents such modifications by always setting the two lowest bits to
one (which relates to privilege level 3 for user-space) if IAOQ0 or IAOQ1 are
modified via ptrace calls in the native and compat ptrace paths.

commit 59a783dbc0d5fd6792aabff933055373b6dcbf2a upstream.

When running gdb I was able to trigger this kernel panic:

On parisc the privilege level of a process is stored in the lowest two bits of
the instruction pointers (IAOQ0 and IAOQ1). On Linux we use privilege level 0
for the kernel and privilege level 3 for user-space. So userspace should not be
allowed to modify IAOQ0 or IAOQ1 of a ptraced process to change it's privilege
level to e.g. 0 to try to gain kernel privileges.

This patch prevents such modifications in the regset support functions by
always setting the two lowest bits to one (which relates to privilege level 3
for user-space) if IAOQ0 or IAOQ1 are modified via ptrace regset calls.

Commit 62217beb394e ("parisc: Add static branch and JUMP_LABEL feature") missed
to add code to handle PCREL64 relocations which are generated when creating a
jump label on a 64-bit kernel.

This patch fixes module load errors like this one:
# modprobe -v ipv6
insmod /lib/modules/5.2.0-rc1-JeR/kernel/net/ipv6/ipv6.ko
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'ipv6': Exec format error
dmesg reports:
module ipv6: Unknown relocation: 72

Commit 62217beb394e ("parisc: Add static branch and JUMP_LABEL feature") missed
to add code to handle PCREL64 relocations which are generated when creating a
jump label on a 64-bit kernel.

This patch fixes module load errors like this one:
# modprobe -v ipv6
insmod /lib/modules/5.2.0-rc1-JeR/kernel/net/ipv6/ipv6.ko
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'ipv6': Exec format error
dmesg reports:
module ipv6: Unknown relocation: 72

Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:

 - Fix crashes when accessing PCI devices on some machines like C240 and
   J5000. The crashes were triggered because we replaced cache flushes
   by nops in the alternative coding where we shouldn't for some
   machines.

 - Dave fixed a race in the usage of the sr1 space register when used to
   load the coherence index.

 - Use the hardware lpa instruction to to load the physical address of
   kernel virtual addresses in the iommu driver code.

 - The kernel may fail to link when CONFIG_MLONGCALLS isn't set. Solve
   that by rearranging functions in the final vmlinux executeable.

 - Some defconfig cleanups and removal of compiler warnings.

* 'parisc-5.2-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux:
  parisc: Fix crash due alternative coding for NP iopdir_fdc bit
  parisc: Use lpa instruction to load physical addresses in driver code
  parisc: configs: Remove useless UEVENT_HELPER_PATH
  parisc: Use implicit space register selection for loading the coherence index of I/O pdirs
  parisc: Fix compiler warnings in float emulation code
  parisc/slab: cleanup after /proc/slab_allocators removal
  parisc: Allow building 64-bit kernel without -mlong-calls compiler option
  parisc: Kconfig: remove ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK

According to the found documentation, data cache flushes and sync
instructions are needed on the PCX-U+ (PA8200, e.g. C200/C240)
platforms, while PCX-W (PA8500, e.g. C360) platforms aparently don't
need those flushes when changing the IO PDIR data structures.

We have no documentation for PCX-W+ (PA8600) and PCX-W2 (PA8700) CPUs,
but Carlo Pisani reported that his C3600 machine (PA8600, PCX-W+) fails
when the fdc instructions were removed. His firmware didn't set the NIOP
bit, so one may assume it's a firmware bug since other C3750 machines
had the bit set.

Even if documentation (as mentioned above) states that PCX-W (PA8500,
e.g.  J5000) does not need fdc flushes, Sven could show that an Adaptec
29320A PCI-X SCSI controller reliably failed on a dd command during the
first five minutes in his J5000 when fdc flushes were missing.

Going forward, we will now NOT replace the fdc and sync assembler
instructions by NOPS if:
a) the NP iopdir_fdc bit was set by firmware, or
b) we find a CPU up to and including a PCX-W+ (PA8600).

This fixes the HPMC crashes on a C240 and C36XX machines. For other
machines we rely on the firmware to set the bit when needed.

In case one finds HPMC issues, people could try to boot their machines
with the "no-alternatives" kernel option to turn off any alternative
patching.
