commit 0828137e8f16721842468e33df0460044a0c588b upstream.

__init_FSCR() was added originally in commit 2468dcf641e4 ("powerpc:
Add support for context switching the TAR register") (Feb 2013), and
only set FSCR_TAR.

At that point FSCR (Facility Status and Control Register) was not
context switched, so the setting was permanent after boot.

Later we added initialisation of FSCR_DSCR to __init_FSCR(), in commit
54c9b2253d34 ("powerpc: Set DSCR bit in FSCR setup") (Mar 2013), again
that was permanent after boot.

Then commit 2517617e0de6 ("powerpc: Fix context switch DSCR on
POWER8") (Aug 2013) added a limited context switch of FSCR, just the
FSCR_DSCR bit was context switched based on thread.dscr_inherit. That
commit said "This clears the H/FSCR DSCR bit initially", but it
didn't, it left the initialisation of FSCR_DSCR in __init_FSCR().
However the initial context switch from init_task to pid 1 would clear
FSCR_DSCR because thread.dscr_inherit was 0.

That commit also introduced the requirement that FSCR_DSCR be clear
for user processes, so that we can take the facility unavailable
interrupt in order to manage dscr_inherit.

Then in commit 152d523e6307 ("powerpc: Create context switch helpers
save_sprs() and restore_sprs()") (Dec 2015) FSCR was added to
thread_struct. However it still wasn't fully context switched, we just
took the existing value and set FSCR_DSCR if the new thread had
dscr_inherit set. FSCR was still initialised at boot to FSCR_DSCR |
FSCR_TAR, but that value was not propagated into the thread_struct, so
the initial context switch set FSCR_DSCR back to 0.

Finally commit b57bd2de8c6c ("powerpc: Improve FSCR init and context
switching") (Jun 2016) added a full context switch of the FSCR, and
added an initialisation of init_task.thread.fscr to FSCR_TAR |
FSCR_EBB, but omitted FSCR_DSCR.

The end result is that swapper runs with FSCR_DSCR set because of the
initialisation in __init_FSCR(), but no other processes do, they use
the value from init_task.thread.fscr.

Having FSCR_DSCR set for swapper allows it to access SPR 3 from
userspace, but swapper never runs userspace, so it has no useful
effect. It's also confusing to have the value initialised in two
places to two different values.

So remove FSCR_DSCR from __init_FSCR(), this at least gets us to the
point where there's a single value of FSCR, even if it's still set in
two places.

commit faf37c44a105f3608115785f17cbbf3500f8bc71 upstream.

Clear the PCR (Processor Compatibility Register) on boot to ensure we
are not running in a compatibility mode.

We've seen this cause problems when a crash (and kdump) occurs while
running compat mode guests. The kdump kernel then runs with the PCR
set and causes problems. The symptom in the kdump kernel (also seen in
petitboot after fast-reboot) is early userspace programs taking
sigills on newer instructions (seen in libc).

<title>powerpc/64s: Initialize ISAv3 MMU registers before setting partition table</title>

commit 371b80447ff33ddac392c189cf884a5a3e18faeb upstream.

kexec can leave MMU registers set when booting into a new kernel,
the PIDR (Process Identification Register) in particular. The boot
sequence does not zero PIDR, so it only gets set when CPUs first
switch to a userspace processes (until then it's running a kernel
thread with effective PID = 0).

This leaves a window where a process table entry and page tables are
set up due to user processes running on other CPUs, that happen to
match with a stale PID. The CPU with that PID may cause speculative
accesses that address quadrant 0 (aka userspace addresses), which will
result in cached translations and PWC (Page Walk Cache) for that
process, on a CPU which is not in the mm_cpumask and so they will not
be invalidated properly.

The most common result is the kernel hanging in infinite page fault
loops soon after kexec (usually in schedule_tail, which is usually the
first non-speculative quadrant 0 access to a new PID) due to a stale
PWC. However being a stale translation error, it could result in
anything up to security and data corruption problems.

Fix this by zeroing out PIDR at boot and kexec.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Fix local TLB flush for boot and MCE on POWER9</title>

<id>41d0c2ecde19cfe93071ed7b979a53ba60b12840</id>
<content type='text'>
There are two cases outside the normal address space management
where a CPU's local TLB is to be flushed:

  1. Host boot; in case something has left stale entries in the
     TLB (e.g., kexec).

  2. Machine check; to clean corrupted TLB entries.

CPU state restore from deep idle states also flushes the TLB.
However this seems to be a side effect of reusing the boot code to set
CPU state, rather than a requirement itself.

The current flushing has a number of problems with ISA v3.0B:

- The current radix mode of the MMU is not taken into account. tlbiel
  is undefined if the R field does not match the current radix mode.

- ISA v3.0B hash must flush the partition and process table caches.

- ISA v3.0B radix must flush partition and process scoped translations,
  partition and process table caches, and also the page walk cache.

Add POWER9 cases to handle these, with radix vs hash determined by the
host MMU mode.

<content type='text'>
The XIVE enablement patches included a change to set the LPES (Logical
Partitioning Environment Selector) bit (bit # 3) in LPCR (Logical Partitioning
Control Register) on POWER9 hosts. This bit sets external interrupts to guest
delivery mode, which uses SRR0/1. The host's EE interrupt handler is written to
expect HSRR0/1 (for earlier CPUs). This should be fine because XIVE is
configured not to deliver EEs to the host (Hypervisor Virtulization Interrupt is
used instead) so the EE handler should never be executed.

However a bug in interrupt controller code, hardware, or odd configuration of a
simulator could result in the host getting an EE incorrectly. Keeping the EE
delivery mode matching the host EE handler prevents strange crashes due to using
the wrong exception registers.

KVM will configure the LPCR to set LPES prior to running a guest so that EEs are
delivered to the guest using SRR0/1.

We need to set LPES in order for normal external interrupts (0x500)
to be directed to the guest while running in guest state.

We also need HEIC set to prevent them to be sent to the host while
in host state.

With XIVE the host never gets one of these and wouldn't know how to
handle it. All host external interrupts come in via the new
hypervisor virtualization interrupts vector.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Highlights include:

   - Support for the kexec_file_load() syscall, which is a prereq for
     secure and trusted boot.

   - Prevent kernel execution of userspace on P9 Radix (similar to
     SMEP/PXN).

   - Sort the exception tables at build time, to save time at boot, and
     store them as relative offsets to save space in the kernel image &amp;
     memory.

   - Allow building the kernel with thin archives, which should allow us
     to build an allyesconfig once some other fixes land.

   - Build fixes to allow us to correctly rebuild when changing the
     kernel endian from big to little or vice versa.

   - Plumbing so that we can avoid doing a full mm TLB flush on P9
     Radix.

   - Initial stack protector support (-fstack-protector).

   - Support for dumping the radix (aka. Linux) and hash page tables via
     debugfs.

   - Fix an oops in cxl coredump generation when cxl_get_fd() is used.

   - Freescale updates from Scott: "Highlights include 8xx hugepage
     support, qbman fixes/cleanup, device tree updates, and some misc
     cleanup."

   - Many and varied fixes and minor enhancements as always.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Small release, the most interesting stuff is x86 nested virt
  improvements.

   - userspace can now hide nested VMX features from guests
   - nested VMX can now run Hyper-V in a guest
   - support for AVX512_4VNNIW and AVX512_FMAPS in KVM
   - infrastructure support for virtual Intel GPUs.

  PPC:
   - support for KVM guests on POWER9
   - improved support for interrupt polling
   - optimizations and cleanups.

  s390:
   - two small optimizations, more stuff is in flight and will be in
