[ Upstream commit 526d4a4c77aedf1b7df1133e5cced29c70232e6e ]

When interrupt and syscall entries where converted to C, KUEP locking
and unlocking was also converted. It improved performance by unrolling
the loop, and allowed easily implementing boot time deactivation of
KUEP.

However, null_syscall selftest shows that KUEP is still heavy
(361 cycles with KUEP, 212 cycles without).

A way to improve more is to group 'mtsr's together, instead of
repeating 'addi' + 'mtsr' several times.

In order to do that, more registers need to be available. In C, GCC
will always be able to provide the requested number of registers, but
at the cost of saving some data on the stack, which is counter
performant here.

So let's do it in assembly, when we have full control of which
register can be used. It also has the advantage of locking earlier
and unlocking later and it helps GCC generating less tricky code.
The only drawback is to make boot time deactivation less straight
forward and require 'hand' instruction patching.

Group 'mtsr's by 4.

With this change, null_syscall selftest reports 336 cycles. Without
the change it was 361 cycles, that's a 7% reduction.

[ Upstream commit 0eb089a72fda3f7969e6277804bde75dc1474a14 ]

A disassembly of interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() shows a useless read
of MSR register. This is shown by r9 being re-used immediately without
doing anything with the value read.

  c000e0e0:       60 00 00 00     nop
  c000e0e4:       7d 3a c2 a6     mfmd_ap r9

  c000e0f4:       71 29 80 00     andi.   r9,r9,32768

This is due to the use of local_irq_save(). The flags read by
local_irq_save() are never used, use local_irq_disable() instead.

commit 2ea31e2e62bbc4d11c411eeb36f1b02841dbcab1 upstream.

The RFI and STF security mitigation options can flip the
interrupt_exit_not_reentrant static branch condition concurrently with
the interrupt exit code which tests that branch.

Interrupt exit tests this condition to set MSR[EE|RI] for exit, then
again in the case a soft-masked interrupt is found pending, to recover
the MSR so the interrupt can be replayed before attempting to exit
again. If the condition changes between these two tests, the MSR and irq
soft-mask state will become corrupted, leading to warnings and possible
crashes. For example, if the branch is initially true then false,
MSR[EE] will be 0 but PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS clear and EE may not get
enabled, leading to warnings in irq_64.c.

[ Upstream commit 08b0af5b2affbe7419853e8dd1330e4b3fe27125 ]

Some thread flags can be set remotely, and so even when IRQs are disabled,
the flags can change under our feet. Thus, when setting flags we must use
an atomic operation rather than a plain read-modify-write sequence, as a
plain read-modify-write may discard flags which are concurrently set by a
remote thread, e.g.

	// task A			// task B
	tmp = A-&gt;thread_info.flags;
					set_tsk_thread_flag(A, NEWFLAG_B);
	tmp |= NEWFLAG_A;
	A-&gt;thread_info.flags = tmp;

arch/powerpc/kernel/interrupt.c's system_call_exception() sets
_TIF_RESTOREALL in the thread info flags with a read-modify-write, which
may result in other flags being discarded.

Elsewhere in the file it uses clear_bits() to atomically remove flag bits,
so use set_bits() here for consistency with those.

There may be reasons (e.g. instrumentation) that prevent the use of
set_thread_flag() and clear_thread_flag() here, which would otherwise be
preferable.

commit 4a5cb51f3db4be547225a4bce7a43d41b231382b upstream.

The check_return_regs_valid() can cause a false positive if the return
regs are marked as norestart and they are an HSRR type interrupt,
because the low bit in the bottom of regs-&gt;trap causes interrupt type
matching to fail.

This can occcur for example on bare metal with a HV privileged doorbell
interrupt that causes a signal, but do_signal returns early because
get_signal() fails, and takes the "No signal to deliver" path. In this
case no signal was delivered so the return location is not changed so
return SRRs are not invalidated, yet set_trap_norestart is called, which
messes up the match. Building go-1.16.6 is known to reproduce this.

Fix it by using the TRAP() accessor which masks out the low bit.

The rfscv instruction does not work correctly with the fake-suspend mode
in POWER9, which can end up with the hypervisor restoring an incorrect
checkpoint.

Work around this by setting the _TIF_RESTOREALL flag if a system call
returns to a transaction active state, causing rfid to be used instead
of rfscv to return, which will do the right thing. The contents of the
registers are irrelevant because they will be overwritten in this case
anyway.

<title>powerpc/64s: system call scv tabort fix for corrupt irq soft-mask state</title>

<content type='text'>
If a system call is made with a transaction active, the kernel
immediately aborts it and returns. scv system calls disable irqs even
earlier in their interrupt handler, and tabort_syscall does not fix this
up.

This can result in irq soft-mask state being messed up on the next
kernel entry, and crashing at BUG_ON(arch_irq_disabled_regs(regs)) in
the kernel exit handlers, or possibly worse.

This can't easily be fixed in asm because at this point an async irq may
have hit, which is soft-masked and marked pending. The pending interrupt
has to be replayed before returning to userspace. The fix is to move the
tabort_syscall code to C in the main syscall handler, and just skip the
system call but otherwise return as usual, which will take care of the
pending irqs. This also does a bunch of other things including possible
signal delivery to the process, but the doomed transaction should still
be aborted when it is eventually returned to.

The sc system call path is changed to use the new C function as well to
reduce code and path differences. This slows down how quickly system
calls are aborted when called while a transaction is active, which could
potentially impact TM performance. But making any system call is already
bad for performance, and TM is on the way out, so go with simpler over
faster.

If a system call is made with a transaction active, the kernel
immediately aborts it and returns. scv system calls disable irqs even
earlier in their interrupt handler, and tabort_syscall does not fix this
up.

This can result in irq soft-mask state being messed up on the next
kernel entry, and crashing at BUG_ON(arch_irq_disabled_regs(regs)) in
the kernel exit handlers, or possibly worse.

This can't easily be fixed in asm because at this point an async irq may
have hit, which is soft-masked and marked pending. The pending interrupt
has to be replayed before returning to userspace. The fix is to move the
tabort_syscall code to C in the main syscall handler, and just skip the
system call but otherwise return as usual, which will take care of the
pending irqs. This also does a bunch of other things including possible
signal delivery to the process, but the doomed transaction should still
be aborted when it is eventually returned to.

The sc system call path is changed to use the new C function as well to
reduce code and path differences. This slows down how quickly system
calls are aborted when called while a transaction is active, which could
potentially impact TM performance. But making any system call is already
bad for performance, and TM is on the way out, so go with simpler over
faster.

40x and BOOKE don't have MSR_RI therefore all tests involving
MSR_RI may be problematic on those plateforms.

Create helpers to check or set MSR_RI in regs, and use them
in common code.

<title>powerpc: Remove MSR_PR check in interrupt_exit_{user/kernel}_prepare()</title>

In those hot functions that are called at every interrupt, any saved
cycle is worth it.

interrupt_exit_user_prepare() and interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() are
called from three places:
- From entry_32.S
- From interrupt_64.S
- From interrupt_exit_user_restart() and interrupt_exit_kernel_restart()

In entry_32.S, there are inambiguously called based on MSR_PR:

	interrupt_return:
		lwz	r4,_MSR(r1)
		addi	r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD
		andi.	r0,r4,MSR_PR
		beq	.Lkernel_interrupt_return
		bl	interrupt_exit_user_prepare
	...
	.Lkernel_interrupt_return:
		bl	interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare

In interrupt_64.S, that's similar:

	interrupt_return_\srr\():
		ld	r4,_MSR(r1)
		andi.	r0,r4,MSR_PR
		beq	interrupt_return_\srr\()_kernel
	interrupt_return_\srr\()_user: /* make backtraces match the _kernel variant */
		addi	r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD
		bl	interrupt_exit_user_prepare
	...
	interrupt_return_\srr\()_kernel:
		addi	r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD
		bl	interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare

In interrupt_exit_user_restart() and interrupt_exit_kernel_restart(),
MSR_PR is verified respectively by BUG_ON(!user_mode(regs)) and
BUG_ON(user_mode(regs)) prior to calling interrupt_exit_user_prepare()
and interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare().

The verification in interrupt_exit_user_prepare() and
interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() are therefore useless and can be removed.
