[ Upstream commit 1659e27d2bc1ef47b6d031abe01b467f18cb72d9 ]

Currently the Book 3S KVM code uses kvm-&gt;lock to synchronize access
to the kvm-&gt;arch.rtas_tokens list.  Because this list is scanned
inside kvmppc_rtas_hcall(), which is called with the vcpu mutex held,
taking kvm-&gt;lock cause a lock inversion problem, which could lead to
a deadlock.

To fix this, we add a new mutex, kvm-&gt;arch.rtas_token_lock, which nests
inside the vcpu mutexes, and use that instead of kvm-&gt;lock when
accessing the rtas token list.

This removes the lockdep_assert_held() in kvmppc_rtas_tokens_free().
At this point we don't hold the new mutex, but that is OK because
kvmppc_rtas_tokens_free() is only called when the whole VM is being
destroyed, and at that point nothing can be looking up a token in
the list.

commit 5266e58d6cd90ac85c187d673093ad9cb649e16d upstream.

Set RI in the default kernel's MSR so that the architected way of
detecting unrecoverable machine check interrupts has a chance to work.
This is inline with the MSR setup of the rest of booke powerpc
architectures configured here.

commit 76a5eaa38b15dda92cd6964248c39b5a6f3a4e9d upstream.

In order to protect against speculation attacks (Spectre
variant 2) on NXP PowerPC platforms, the branch predictor
should be flushed when the privillege level is changed.
This patch is adding the infrastructure to fixup at runtime
the code sections that are performing the branch predictor flush
depending on a boot arg parameter which is added later in a
separate patch.

<title>powerpc: Avoid code patching freed init sections</title>

commit 51c3c62b58b357e8d35e4cc32f7b4ec907426fe3 upstream.

This stops us from doing code patching in init sections after they've
been freed.

In this chain:
  kvm_guest_init() -&gt;
    kvm_use_magic_page() -&gt;
      fault_in_pages_readable() -&gt;
	 __get_user() -&gt;
	   __get_user_nocheck() -&gt;
	     barrier_nospec();

We have a code patching location at barrier_nospec() and
kvm_guest_init() is an init function. This whole chain gets inlined,
so when we free the init section (hence kvm_guest_init()), this code
goes away and hence should no longer be patched.

We seen this as userspace memory corruption when using a memory
checker while doing partition migration testing on powervm (this
starts the code patching post migration via
/sys/kernel/mobility/migration). In theory, it could also happen when
using /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/barrier_nospec.

commit ee13cb249fabdff8b90aaff61add347749280087 upstream.

Some CPU revisions support a mode where the count cache needs to be
flushed by software on context switch. Additionally some revisions may
have a hardware accelerated flush, in which case the software flush
sequence can be shortened.

If we detect the appropriate flag from firmware we patch a branch
into _switch() which takes us to a count cache flush sequence.

That sequence in turn may be patched to return early if we detect that
the CPU supports accelerating the flush sequence in hardware.

Add debugfs support for reporting the state of the flush, as well as
runtime disabling it.

And modify the spectre_v2 sysfs file to report the state of the
software flush.

commit 06d0bbc6d0f56dacac3a79900e9a9a0d5972d818 upstream.

Add a macro and some helper C functions for patching single asm
instructions.

The gas macro means we can do something like:

  1:	nop
  	patch_site 1b, patch__foo

Which is less visually distracting than defining a GLOBAL symbol at 1,
and also doesn't pollute the symbol table which can confuse eg. perf.

These are obviously similar to our existing feature sections, but are
not automatically patched based on CPU/MMU features, rather they are
designed to be manually patched by C code at some arbitrary point.
