commit 408835832158df0357e18e96da7f2d1ed6b80e7f upstream.

PowerPC defines a get_cycles() function, but it does not do the usual
`#define get_cycles get_cycles` dance, making it impossible for generic
code to see if an arch-specific function was defined. While the
get_cycles() ifdef is not currently used, the following timekeeping
patch in this series will depend on the macro existing (or not existing)
when defining random_get_entropy().

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:

 - Fix KVM "lost kick" race, where an attempt to pull a vcpu out of the
   guest could be lost (or delayed until the next guest exit).

 - Disable SCV (system call vectored) when PR KVM guests could be run.

 - Fix KVM PR guests using SCV, by disallowing AIL != 0 for KVM PR
   guests.

 - Add a new KVM CAP to indicate if AIL == 3 is supported.

 - Fix a regression when hotplugging a CPU to a memoryless/cpuless node.

 - Make virt_addr_valid() stricter for 64-bit Book3E &amp; 32-bit, which
   fixes crashes seen due to hardened usercopy.

 - Revert a change to max_mapnr which broke HIGHMEM.

Thanks to Christophe Leroy, Fabiano Rosas, Kefeng Wang, Nicholas Piggin,
and Srikar Dronamraju.

mpe: On 64-bit Book3E vmalloc space starts at 0x8000000000000000.

Because of the way __pa() works we have:
  __pa(0x8000000000000000) == 0, and therefore
  virt_to_pfn(0x8000000000000000) == 0, and therefore
  virt_addr_valid(0x8000000000000000) == true

Which is wrong, virt_addr_valid() should be false for vmalloc space.
In fact all vmalloc addresses that alias with a valid PFN will return
true from virt_addr_valid(). That can cause bugs with hardened usercopy
as described below by Kefeng Wang:

  When running ethtool eth0 on 64-bit Book3E, a BUG occurred:

    usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object not in SLUB page?! (offset 0, size 1048)!
    kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:99
    ...
    usercopy_abort+0x64/0xa0 (unreliable)
    __check_heap_object+0x168/0x190
    __check_object_size+0x1a0/0x200
    dev_ethtool+0x2494/0x2b20
    dev_ioctl+0x5d0/0x770
    sock_do_ioctl+0xf0/0x1d0
    sock_ioctl+0x3ec/0x5a0
    __se_sys_ioctl+0xf0/0x160
    system_call_exception+0xfc/0x1f0
    system_call_common+0xf8/0x200

  The code shows below,

    data = vzalloc(array_size(gstrings.len, ETH_GSTRING_LEN));
    copy_to_user(useraddr, data, gstrings.len * ETH_GSTRING_LEN))

  The data is alloced by vmalloc(), virt_addr_valid(ptr) will return true
  on 64-bit Book3E, which leads to the panic.

  As commit 4dd7554a6456 ("powerpc/64: Add VIRTUAL_BUG_ON checks for __va
  and __pa addresses") does, make sure the virt addr above PAGE_OFFSET in
  the virt_addr_valid() for 64-bit, also add upper limit check to make
  sure the virt is below high_memory.

  Meanwhile, for 32-bit PAGE_OFFSET is the virtual address of the start
  of lowmem, high_memory is the upper low virtual address, the check is
  suitable for 32-bit, this will fix the issue mentioned in commit
  602946ec2f90 ("powerpc: Set max_mapnr correctly") too.

On 32-bit there is a similar problem with high memory, that was fixed in
commit 602946ec2f90 ("powerpc: Set max_mapnr correctly"), but that
commit breaks highmem and needs to be reverted.

We can't easily fix __pa(), we have code that relies on its current
behaviour. So for now add extra checks to virt_addr_valid().

For 64-bit Book3S the extra checks are not necessary, the combination of
virt_to_pfn() and pfn_valid() should yield the correct result, but they
are harmless.

<title>static_call: Properly initialise DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_RET0()</title>

When a static call is updated with __static_call_return0() as target,
arch_static_call_transform() set it to use an optimised set of
instructions which are meant to lay in the same cacheline.

But when initialising a static call with DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_RET0(),
we get a branch to the real __static_call_return0() function instead
of getting the optimised setup:

	c00d8120 &lt;__SCT__perf_snapshot_branch_stack&gt;:
	c00d8120:	4b ff ff f4 	b       c00d8114 &lt;__static_call_return0&gt;

<content type='text'>
We recently introduced a usage of kvmhv_on_pseries() in powerpc.c, which
causes a build error for ppc64_book3e_allmodconfig:

  arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.c:716:8: error: implicit declaration of function ‘kvmhv_on_pseries’
    716 |    if (kvmhv_on_pseries()) {
        |        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fix it by moving kvmhv_on_pseries() into kvm_ppc.h so that the stub
version is available for book3e builds.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The update for this cycle includes the deprecation of block-aperture
  mode and a new perf events interface for the papr_scm nvdimm driver.

  The perf events approach was acked by PeterZ.

   - Add perf support for nvdimm events, initially only for 'papr_scm'
     devices.

   - Deprecate the 'block aperture' support in libnvdimm, it only ever
     existed in the specification, not in shipping product"

  powerpc/papr_scm: Fix build failure when
  drivers/nvdimm: Fix build failure when CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is not set
  nvdimm/region: Delete nd_blk_region infrastructure

Pull x86 CET-IBT (Control-Flow-Integrity) support from Peter Zijlstra:
 "Add support for Intel CET-IBT, available since Tigerlake (11th gen),
  which is a coarse grained, hardware based, forward edge
  Control-Flow-Integrity mechanism where any indirect CALL/JMP must
  target an ENDBR instruction or suffer #CP.

  Additionally, since Alderlake (12th gen)/Sapphire-Rapids, speculation
  is limited to 2 instructions (and typically fewer) on branch targets
  not starting with ENDBR. CET-IBT also limits speculation of the next
  sequential instruction after the indirect CALL/JMP [1].

  CET-IBT is fundamentally incompatible with retpolines, but provides,
  as described above, speculation limits itself"
