commit 884ea0283f4effac97ee8f451464a7d1be480d7c upstream.

On IBM POWER systems, newer processor generations can operate in
compatibility modes corresponding to earlier generations. This becomes
relevant for nested virtualization, where nested KVM guests may need to
run with a specific processor compatibility level.

Currently, when running a nested KVM guest (L2) inside a Power11 pSeries
logical partition (L1) booted in Power10 compatibility mode, the guest
fails to boot while setting 'arch_compat'. This happens because the CPU
class is derived from the hardware PVR (via mfspr()), which reflects the
physical processor generation (Power11), rather than the effective
compatibility mode (Power10).

As a result, userspace may request a Power11 arch_compat for the L2
guest. However, the L1 partition, running in Power10 compatibility, has
only negotiated support up to Power10 with the Power Hypervisor (L0).
When H_GUEST_SET_STATE is invoked with a Power11 Logical PVR, the
hypervisor rejects the request, leading to a late guest boot failure:

  KVM-NESTEDv2: couldn't set guest wide elements
  [..KVM reg dump..]

This situation should be detected earlier and rejected by KVM. Without
proper validation, if userspace ignores the error, the guest may continue
to boot in Power11 raw mode on a Power10 compatibility host, which should
not be allowed.

Introduce a validation mechanism that detects unsupported arch_compat
values early in the guest initialization path. When an unsupported
arch_compat is requested (e.g., Power11 on a Power10 compatibility mode
host), kvmppc_set_arch_compat() uses cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_P11_PVR) to
detect the mismatch and sets arch_compat to PVR_ARCH_INVALID (0xffffffff).
This sentinel value is architecturally safe: PAPR specifies that valid
logical PVR values must have 0x0f as the first byte, ensuring 0xffffffff
lies permanently outside the specification-defined range. Setting this
value triggers kvmppc_sanity_check() to mark the vCPU as invalid by
setting vcpu-&gt;arch.sane to false. On the next vCPU run, kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv()
checks this flag and returns -EINVAL, preventing the guest from running
with an invalid processor compatibility configuration.

With this, when a Power11 arch_compat is requested on a Power10
compatibility mode host, the guest fails early during boot with:

  error: kvm run failed Invalid argument

This provides a much clearer failure mode compared to the previous
behavior where the guest could boot in Power11 raw mode (if userspace
ignored the error) or fail late during H_GUEST_SET_STATE.

commit fb43ba4256543ce18ca0540fc37022bda438a293 upstream.

On pseries LPAR systems, watchdog timers configured from userspace can
remain active after a kernel panic. When a panic triggers kdump, the
crashing kernel jumps directly to the kdump kernel without stopping
active watchdogs. As a result, the watchdogs remain active after the
kdump kernel starts.

If dump capture takes longer than the watchdog timeout, PHYP resets the
LPAR before the dump is fully captured, causing dump capture to fail.

Fix this by issuing the `H_WATCHDOG` hcall during the crash shutdown
sequence to stop all active watchdogs before booting the kdump kernel.

commit 516a254918453ec99660201263d01189c082332c upstream.

The H_WATCHDOG input and output definitions are currently local to the
pseries watchdog driver. The next patch in this series also needs these
definitions to issue H_WATCHDOG hypercalls outside the watchdog driver.

Move the H_WATCHDOG definitions to a new common header,
asm/papr-watchdog.h, so they can be shared without duplicating the
PAPR watchdog definitions.

No functional changes.

Commit d7a6797e0bc1 ("powerpc: add exit_flags field in pt_regs") added
the exit_flags field to struct pt_regs to pass internal exit control
flags (e.g. _TIF_RESTOREALL) from syscall_exit_prepare() to the
low-level assembly exit path.

However, the field was placed in a way that was visible to userspace
tools such as strace via PTRACE_GETREGS, or caused a struct layout or
size regression observable through ptrace. The field is purely
kernel-internal and must not be exposed beyond the user_pt_regs
boundary.

Move exit_flags into struct thread_info where it is only accessible to
the kernel, and keep it out of the ptrace-visible register window
entirely.

<title>powerpc/970: fix nap return address corruption on async interrupt exit</title>

<id>bddf7540099bf653eaea339e886add6f62555cf3</id>
<content type='text'>
On PowerMac G5 (PPC970, CONFIG_PPC_970_NAP) the system panics shortly
after boot with symptoms including instruction fetch faults, kernel data
access faults, and stack corruption, predominantly on SMP and always
somewhere inside softirq processing.

The PPC970 idle path works by setting _TLF_NAPPING in the current
thread's local flags before entering the MSR_POW nap loop.  When any
async interrupt wakes the CPU, nap_adjust_return() is expected to detect
_TLF_NAPPING, clear it, and rewrite regs-&gt;NIP to power4_idle_nap_return
so that the interrupt returns cleanly to the caller of power4_idle_nap()
rather than back into the nap spin loop.

DEFINE_INTERRUPT_HANDLER_ASYNC generates the following sequence:

    irq_enter_rcu();
    ____func(regs);           /* timer_interrupt / do_IRQ body */
    irq_exit_rcu();           /* softirqs run here, irqs re-enabled */
    arch_interrupt_async_exit_prepare(regs); /* nap_adjust_return was here */
    irqentry_exit(regs, state);

irq_exit_rcu() calls invoke_softirq() -&gt; do_softirq_own_stack(), which
runs softirqs with hardware interrupts re-enabled.  A nested async
interrupt can therefore arrive while _TLF_NAPPING is still set.  That
nested interrupt reaches nap_adjust_return() in its own
arch_interrupt_async_exit_prepare() call, finds _TLF_NAPPING set, and
redirects *its own* regs-&gt;NIP to power4_idle_nap_return.  Returning via
that blr with an unrelated LR on the softirq stack jumps to a garbage
address, causing the observed crashes.

The comment that previously lived in arch_interrupt_async_exit_prepare()
even described this exact hazard ("must come before irq_exit()"), but
nap_adjust_return() was placed after irq_exit_rcu() in the macro, so
the protection was never effective.

Fix this by calling nap_adjust_return() inside DEFINE_INTERRUPT_HANDLER_ASYNC
immediately before irq_exit_rcu(), ensuring _TLF_NAPPING is cleared and
regs-&gt;NIP is adjusted before any code that can re-enable interrupts or
invoke softirqs runs.  Move the explanatory comment into
nap_adjust_return() itself and remove it from arch_interrupt_async_exit_prepare().

<content type='text'>
Since commit 7dadeaa6e851 ("sched: Further restrict the preemption
modes"), powerpc always has CONFIG_PREEMPTION because only
CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_PREEMPT_LAZY are possible, even in
dynamic preemption mode (see sched_dynamic_mode).

As a consequence, need_irq_preemption() is always true and can be
removed.

And because commit bee25f97ad24 ("powerpc: Enable GENERIC_ENTRY
feature") includes linux/irq-entry-common.h which already declares
sk_dynamic_irqentry_exit_cond_resched static key, asm/preempt.h
becauses useless and can be removed.

mask_user_address() incorrectly checks for CONFIG_E500 instead of
CONFIG_PPC_E500, causing mask_user_address_isel() to not be used on
E500 hardware. Fix the check to use the correct name.

Pull pci updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
 "Enumeration:

   - Remove MPS/MRRS Kconfig settings (CONFIG_PCIE_BUS_*) that worked
     around a WiFi device defect; use a quirk or boot-time
     "pci=pcie_bus_tune_*" kernel parameter instead (Bjorn Helgaas)

   - Always lift 2.5GT/s restriction in PCIe failed link retraining to
     avoid clamping a link to 2.5GT/s after hot-plug changes the device
     (Maciej W. Rozycki)

   - Request bus reassignment when not probe-only to fix an enumeration
     regression on Marvell CN106XX and possibly other DT-based systems
     (Ratheesh Kannoth)

   - Fix procfs race between pci_proc_init() and pci_bus_add_device()
     that resulted in 'proc_dir_entry ... already registered' warnings
     and pointer corruption (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Fix sysfs race that causes 'duplicate filename' warnings and boot
     panics by converting PCI resource files to static attributes
     (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Expose sysfs 'resourceN_resize' attributes only on platforms with
     PCI mmap (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN to write to sysfs 'resourceN_resize'
     attributes (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Add security_locked_down(LOCKDOWN_PCI_ACCESS) to alpha PCI resource
     mmap path to match the generic path (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Use kstrtobool() to parse the 'rom' attribute input to avoid the
     unexpected behavior of enabling the ROM when writing '0' with no
     trailing newline (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

  Resource management:

   - Improve resource claim logging for debuggability (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Clean up several uses of const parameters (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Check option ROM header signatures and lengths before accessing to
     avoid page faults and alignment faults (Guixin Liu)

  ASPM:

   - Don't reconfigure ASPM when entering low-power D-state; only do it
     when returning back to D0 (Carlos Bilbao)

  Power management:

   - During suspend, set power state to 'unknown' for all devices, not
     just those with drivers (Lukas Wunner)

   - Skip restoring Resizable BARs and VF Resizable BARs if device
     doesn't respond to config reads, to avoid invalid array accesses
     (Marco Nenciarini)

   - Add pci_suspend_retains_context() so drivers can tell whether
     devices retain internal state across suspend/resume, since some
     platforms reset devices on suspend; use this in nvme to avoid
     issues on Qcom RCs (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

  Power control:

   - Only to power on/off devices that actually support power control to
     avoid poking at incompatible devices mentioned in DT (Manivannan
     Sadhasivam)

  Virtualization and resets:

   - Log device readiness timeouts as errors, not warnings, because the
     device is likely unusable in this case (Bjorn Helgaas)

   - Wait for device readiness after soft reset (D3hot -&gt;
     D0uninitialized transition), when the device may respond with
     Request Retry Status (RRS) if it needs more time to initialize
     (Bjorn Helgaas)

   - Drop unnecessary retries when restoring BARs because resets should
     now already include all required delays (Lukas Wunner)

   - Avoid FLR for MediaTek MT7925 WiFi, where FLR fails after a VM
     terminates uncleanly (Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez)

   - Avoid SBR for Qualcomm WCN6855/WCN7850 WiFi, SDX62/SDX65 modems,
     which seem not to support it correctly (Jose Ignacio Tornos
     Martinez)

  Peer-to-peer DMA:

   - Prevent P2PDMA as well as CPU access to non-mappable BARs, e.g.,
     s390 ISM BARs (Matt Evans)

   - Add Intel QAT, DSA, IAA devices to whitelist (Lukas Wunner)

  Endpoint framework:

   - Add endpoint controller APIs for use by function drivers to
     discover auxiliary blocks like DMA engines (Koichiro Den)

     EPC aux-resource API (Koichiro Den)

   - Add endpoint embedded doorbell fallback, used if MSI allocation
     fails (Koichiro Den)

   - Validate BAR index and remove dead BAR read in endpoint doorbell
     test (Carlos Bilbao)

   - Unwind MSI/MSI-X vectors if NTB initialization fails part-way
     through (Koichiro Den)

   - Cache sleepable pci_irq_vector() value at ISR setup to avoid
     calling it from hardirq context (Koichiro Den)

   - Call sleepable pci_epc_raise_irq() from a work item instead of
     atomic context, e.g., when setting bits in NTB peer doorbells in
     the ntb_peer_db_set() path (Koichiro Den)

   - Report 0-based vNTB doorbell vector to account for link event 0 and
     historically skipped slot 1 (Koichiro Den)

   - Prevent configfs writes to vNTB db_count and other values that are
     already in use after EPC attach (Koichiro Den)

   - Account for vNTB db_valid reserved slots (link event 0 and
     historically skipped slot 1) so they don't appear as valid
     doorbells (Koichiro Den)

   - Implement vNTB .db_vector_count()/mask() for doorbells so clients
     can use multiple vectors and avoid thundering herds (Koichiro Den)

   - Report 0-based NTB doorbell vector to account for link event 0 and
     historically skipped slot 1 (Koichiro Den)

   - Fix doorbell bitmask and IRQ vector handling to clear only
     specified bits, use the correct vector for non-contiguous Linux IRQ
     numbers, and validate incoming vectors (Koichiro Den)

   - Implement NTB .db_vector_count()/mask() for doorbells so clients
     can use multiple vectors (Koichiro Den)

  Native PCIe controller infrastructure:

   - Add pci_host_common_link_train_delay() for the mandatory delay
     after &gt; 5GT/s Link training completes and use it for cadence HPA,
     j721e, LGA; dwc; aardvark, mediatek-gen3, rzg3s (Hans Zhang)

   - Protect root bus removal with rescan lock in altera, brcmstb,
     cadence, dwc, iproc, mediatek, plda, rockchip to prevent
     use-after-free or crashes when racing with sysfs rescan or hotplug
     (Hans Zhang)

   - Add pci_host_common_parse_ports() for use by any native driver to
     parse Root Port properties (per-Link features like width, speed,
     PHY, power and reset control, etc should be described in Root Port
     stanzas, not the host bridge; currently only reset GPIOs
     implemented) (Sherry Sun)

  New native PCIe controller drivers:

   - Add DT binding and driver for UltraRISC DP1000 PCIe controller
     (Xincheng Zhang, Jia Wang)

  Altera PCIe controller driver:

     path (Shuvam Pandey)

   - Add .remove() callback to deinitialize the host bridge and power

  Broadcom iProc PCIe controller driver:

   - Restore .map_irq() assignment; its removal broke INTx on the iproc
     platform bus driver (Mark Tomlinson)

  Broadcom STB PCIe controller driver:

   - No change, but products using certain WiFi devices may be affected
     by removal of CONFIG_PCIE_BUS_* (see above)

  Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:

   - Move IMX6SX_GPR12_PCIE_TEST_POWERDOWN handling into the core reset
     functions (Richard Zhu)

   - Assert PERST# before enabling regulators to ensure that even if
     power is enabled, endpoint stays inactive until REFCLK is stable
     (Sherry Sun)

   - Parse reset properties in Root Port nodes (falling back to host
     bridge) to help support Key E connectors and the pwrctrl framework
     (Sherry Sun)

   - Configure i.MX95 REF_USE_PAD before PHY reset (Richard Zhu)

   - Assert i.MX95 ref_clk_en after reference clock stabilizes (Richard

     Eckert)

   - Stop overwriting the ATU base address discovered by
     dw_pcie_get_resources() (Florian Eckert)

   - Add DT 'atu' region since this is hardware-specific, and fall back
     to driver default if lacking (Florian Eckert)

  Loongson PCIe controller driver:

   - Ignore downstream devices only on internal bridges to avoid
     Loongson hardware issue (Rong Zhang)

   - Quirk old Loongson-3C6000 bridges that advertise incorrect
     supported link speeds (Ziyao Li)

  Marvell MVEBU PCIe controller driver:

   - Use fixed-width interrupt masks to avoid truncation in 64-bit
     builds (Rosen Penev)

  MediaTek PCIe controller driver:

   - Use FIELD_PREP() to fix incorrect operator precedence in
     PCIE_FTS_NUM_L0 (Li RongQing)

   - Fix IRQ domain leak when port fails to enable (Manivannan
     Sadhasivam)

   - Use actual physical address for MSI message address instead of
     virt_to_phys() (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

   - Add EcoNet EN7528 to DT binding (Caleb James DeLisle)

  MediaTek PCIe Gen3 controller driver:

   - Deassert PCIE_PHY_RSTB so REFCLK is stable for at least 100ms
     (PCIE_T_PVPERL_MS) before deasserting PERST# (Jian Yang)

     'aspm-l1-entry-delay-ns' DT property (Manikanta Maddireddy)

  Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:

   - Add Eliza SoC compatible in DT binding (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

   - Set max OPP during resume so DBI register accesses don't fail with
     NoC errors (Qiang Yu)

   - Add pci_host_common_d3cold_possible() to determine whether
     downstream devices are already in D3hot and wakeup-enabled devices
     are capable of generating PME from D3cold (Krishna Chaitanya
     Chundru)

   - Add .get_ltssm() callback to get the LTSSM status without DBI,
     since DBI may be inaccessible after PME_Turn_Off (Krishna Chaitanya
     Chundru)

   - Power down PHY via PARF_PHY_CTRL before disabling rails/clocks to
     avoid power leakage (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

   - Decide whether suspend should put the link in L2 and power down
     using pci_host_common_d3cold_possible() instead of checking whether
     ASPM L1 is enabled (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

   - Add qcom D3cold support to tear down interconnect bandwidth and OPP
     votes (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

   - Add RZ/V2N DT support (Lad Prabhakar)

  SOPHGO PCIe controller driver:

   - Add 'dma-coherent' DT property for sg2042-pcie driver (Han Gao)

     use-after-free or crashes when racing with sysfs rescan or hotplug
     (Hans Zhang)

   - Add pci_host_common_parse_ports() for use by any native driver to
     parse Root Port properties (per-Link features like width, speed,

     PCIE_FTS_NUM_L0 (Li RongQing)

   - Fix IRQ domain leak when port fails to enable (Manivannan
     Sadhasivam)

   - Use actual physical address for MSI message address instead of
     virt_to_phys() (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

   - Add EcoNet EN7528 to DT binding (Caleb James DeLisle)

   - Add Eliza SoC compatible in DT binding (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

   - Set max OPP during resume so DBI register accesses don't fail with
     NoC errors (Qiang Yu)

     downstream devices are already in D3hot and wakeup-enabled devices
     are capable of generating PME from D3cold (Krishna Chaitanya
     Chundru)

   - Add .get_ltssm() callback to get the LTSSM status without DBI,
     since DBI may be inaccessible after PME_Turn_Off (Krishna Chaitanya
     Chundru)

   - Power down PHY via PARF_PHY_CTRL before disabling rails/clocks to
     avoid power leakage (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

   - Decide whether suspend should put the link in L2 and power down
     using pci_host_common_d3cold_possible() instead of checking whether
     ASPM L1 is enabled (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

   - Add qcom D3cold support to tear down interconnect bandwidth and OPP
     votes (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

     boilerplate and fix a seq_file memory leak by including a
     .release() callback (Hans Zhang)

   - Fix a signedness bug in fault injection test code (Dan Carpenter)

   - Avoid NULL pointer dereference when tearing down debugfs for
     controller that lacks RAS DES capability (Shuvam Pandey)
