[ Upstream commit 1c2cb594441d02815d304cccec9742ff5c707495 ]

The EPOW interrupt handler uses rtas_get_sensor(), which in turn
uses rtas_busy_delay() to wait for RTAS becoming ready in case it
is necessary. But rtas_busy_delay() is annotated with might_sleep()
and thus may not be used by interrupts handlers like the EPOW handler!
This leads to the following BUG when CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP is
enabled:

 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c:496

Fix this issue by introducing a new rtas_get_sensor_fast() function
that does not use rtas_busy_delay() - and thus can only be used for
sensors that do not cause a BUSY condition - known as "fast" sensors.

The EPOW sensor is defined to be "fast" in sPAPR - mpe.

<title>powerpc/mm: Fix pte_pagesize_index() crash on 4K w/64K hash</title>

[ Upstream commit 74b5037baa2011a2799e2c43adde7d171b072f9e ]

The powerpc kernel can be built to have either a 4K PAGE_SIZE or a 64K
PAGE_SIZE.

However when built with a 4K PAGE_SIZE there is an additional config
option which can be enabled, PPC_HAS_HASH_64K, which means the kernel
also knows how to hash a 64K page even though the base PAGE_SIZE is 4K.

This is used in one obscure configuration, to support 64K pages for SPU
local store on the Cell processor when the rest of the kernel is using
4K pages.

In this configuration, pte_pagesize_index() is defined to just pass
through its arguments to get_slice_psize(). However pte_pagesize_index()
is called for both user and kernel addresses, whereas get_slice_psize()
only knows how to handle user addresses.

This has been broken forever, however until recently it happened to
work. That was because in get_slice_psize() the large kernel address
would cause the right shift of the slice mask to return zero.

However in commit 7aa0727f3302 ("powerpc/mm: Increase the slice range to
64TB"), the get_slice_psize() code was changed so that instead of a
right shift we do an array lookup based on the address. When passed a
kernel address this means we index way off the end of the slice array
and return random junk.

That is only fatal if we happen to hit something non-zero, but when we
do return a non-zero value we confuse the MMU code and eventually cause
a check stop.

This fix is ugly, but simple. When we're called for a kernel address we
return 4K, which is always correct in this configuration, otherwise we
use the slice mask.

[ Upstream commit fea559f303567e558bfab9c8ba4a2af5b309205a ]

Implement arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() for powerpc

Commit 9b01f5bf3 introduced a dependency on "IRQ work self-IPIs" for
full dynamic ticks to be enabled, by expecting architectures to
implement a suitable arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() routine.

Several arches have implemented this routine, including x86 (3010279f)
and arm (09f6edd4), but powerpc was omitted.

This patch implements this routine for powerpc.

The symptom, at boot (on powerpc systems) with "nohz_full=&lt;CPU list&gt;"
is displayed:

     NO_HZ: Can't run full dynticks because arch doesn't support irq work self-IPIs

after this patch:

     NO_HZ: Full dynticks CPUs: &lt;CPU list&gt;.

Tested against 3.19.

powerpc implements "IRQ work self-IPIs" by setting the decrementer to 1 in
arch_irq_work_raise(), which causes a decrementer exception on the next
timebase tick. We then handle the work in __timer_interrupt().

Space allocated for paca is based off nr_cpu_ids,
but pnv_alloc_idle_core_states() iterates paca with

This causes pnv_alloc_idle_core_states() to write over memory,
which is outside of paca array and may later lead to various panics.

[ Upstream commit fb7332a9fedfd62b1ba6530c86f39f0fa38afd49 ]

On architectures with hardware broadcasting of TLB invalidation messages
, it makes sense to reduce the range of the mmu_gather structure when
unmapping page ranges based on the dirty address information passed to
tlb_remove_tlb_entry.

arm64 already does this by directly manipulating the start/end fields
of the gather structure, but this confuses the generic code which
does not expect these fields to change and can end up calculating
invalid, negative ranges when forcing a flush in zap_pte_range.

This patch moves the minimal range calculation out of the arm64 code
and into the generic implementation, simplifying zap_pte_range in the
process (which no longer needs to care about start/end, since they will
point to the appropriate ranges already). With the range being tracked
by core code, the need_flush flag is dropped in favour of checking that
the end of the range has actually been set.

commit 6f963ec2d6bf2476a16799eece920acb2100ff1c upstream.

When unbinding and rebinding the driver on a system with a card in PHB0, this
error condition is reached after a few attempts:

commit 63f13448d81c910a284b096149411a719cbed501 upstream.

Since both ppc and ppc64 have LE variants which are now reported by uname, add
that flag (__AUDIT_ARCH_LE) to syscall_get_arch() and add AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE
variant.

Without this,  perf trace and auditctl fail.

Mainline kernel reports ppc64le (per a058801) but there is no matching
AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE.

Since 32-bit PPC LE is not supported by audit, don't advertise it in
AUDIT_ARCH_PPC* variants.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Switch off MMU before entering nap/sleep/rvwinkle mode</title>

commit 8117ac6a6c2fa0f847ff6a21a1f32c8d2c8501d0 upstream.

Currently, when going idle, we set the flag indicating that we are in
nap mode (paca-&gt;kvm_hstate.hwthread_state) and then execute the nap
(or sleep or rvwinkle) instruction, all with the MMU on.  This is bad
for two reasons: (a) the architecture specifies that those instructions
must be executed with the MMU off, and in fact with only the SF, HV, ME
and possibly RI bits set, and (b) this introduces a race, because as
soon as we set the flag, another thread can switch the MMU to a guest
context.  If the race is lost, this thread will typically start looping
on relocation-on ISIs at 0xc...4400.

This fixes it by setting the MSR as required by the architecture before
setting the flag or executing the nap/sleep/rvwinkle instruction.

This is now fully replaced with the generic "no_64bit_msi" one

Firmware-assisted dump (fadump) kernel code is not endian safe. The
below patch fixes this issue. Tested this patch with upstream kernel.
Below output shows crash tool successfully opening LE fadump vmcore.
