[ Upstream commit f35d2f249ef05b9671e7898f09ad89aa78f99122 ]

copy-paste contains implicit "copy buffer" state that can contain
arbitrary user data (if the user process executes a copy instruction).
This could be snooped by another process if a context switch hits while
the state is live. So cp_abort is executed on context switch to clear
out possible sensitive data and prevent the leak.

cp_abort is done after the low level _switch(), which means it is never
reached by newly created tasks, so they could snoop on this buffer
between their first and second context switch.

Fix this by doing the cp_abort before calling _switch. Add some
comments which should make the issue harder to miss.

ksp_limit is there to help detect stack overflows.
That is specific to ppc32 as it was removed from ppc64 in
commit cbc9565ee826 ("powerpc: Remove ksp_limit on ppc64").

There are other means for detecting stack overflows.

As ppc64 has proven to not need it, ppc32 should be able to do
without it too.

Lets remove it and simplify exception handling.

Both rt_sigreturn() and handle_rt_signal_64() contain TM-related ifdefs
which break-up an if/else block. Provide stubs for the ifdef-guarded TM
functions and remove the need for an ifdef in rt_sigreturn().

Rework the remaining TM ifdef in handle_rt_signal64() similar to
commit f1cf4f93de2f ("powerpc/signal32: Remove ifdefery in middle of if/else").

Unlike in the commit for ppc32, the ifdef can't be removed entirely
since uc_transact in sigframe depends on CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM.

Pull io_uring thread rewrite from Jens Axboe:
 "This converts the io-wq workers to be forked off the tasks in question
  instead of being kernel threads that assume various bits of the
  original task identity.

  This kills &gt; 400 lines of code from io_uring/io-wq, and it's the worst
  part of the code. We've had several bugs in this area, and the worry
  is always that we could be missing some pieces for file types doing
  unusual things (recent /dev/tty example comes to mind, userfaultfd
  reads installing file descriptors is another fun one... - both of
  which need special handling, and I bet it's not the last weird oddity
  we'll find).

  With these identical workers, we can have full confidence that we're
  never missing anything. That, in itself, is a huge win. Outside of
  that, it's also more efficient since we're not wasting space and code
  on tracking state, or switching between different states.

  I'm sure we're going to find little things to patch up after this
  series, but testing has been pretty thorough, from the usual
  regression suite to production. Any issue that may crop up should be
  manageable.

  There's also a nice series of further reductions we can do on top of
  this, but I wanted to get the meat of it out sooner rather than later.
  The general worry here isn't that it's fundamentally broken. Most of
  the little issues we've found over the last week have been related to
  just changes in how thread startup/exit is done, since that's the main
  difference between using kthreads and these kinds of threads. In fact,
  if all goes according to plan, I want to get this into the 5.10 and
  5.11 stable branches as well.

  That said, the changes outside of io_uring/io-wq are:

   - arch setup, simple one-liner to each arch copy_thread()
     implementation.

   - Removal of net and proc restrictions for io_uring, they are no
     longer needed or useful"

<title>powerpc/64: Fix stack trace not displaying final frame</title>

<id>e3de1e291fa58a1ab0f471a4b458eff2514e4b5f</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit bf13718bc57a ("powerpc: show registers when unwinding
interrupt frames") we changed our stack dumping logic to show the full
registers whenever we find an interrupt frame on the stack.

However we didn't notice that on 64-bit this doesn't show the final
frame, ie. the interrupt that brought us in from userspace, whereas on
32-bit it does.

That is due to confusion about the size of that last frame. The code
in show_stack() calls validate_sp(), passing it STACK_INT_FRAME_SIZE
to check the sp is at least that far below the top of the stack.

However on 64-bit that size is too large for the final frame, because
it includes the red zone, but we don't allocate a red zone for the
first frame.

So add a new define that encodes the correct size for 32-bit and
64-bit, and use it in show_stack().

This results in the full trace being shown on 64-bit, eg:

  sysrq: Trigger a crash
  Kernel panic - not syncing: sysrq triggered crash

In commit bf13718bc57a ("powerpc: show registers when unwinding
interrupt frames") we changed our stack dumping logic to show the full
registers whenever we find an interrupt frame on the stack.

However we didn't notice that on 64-bit this doesn't show the final
frame, ie. the interrupt that brought us in from userspace, whereas on
32-bit it does.

That is due to confusion about the size of that last frame. The code
in show_stack() calls validate_sp(), passing it STACK_INT_FRAME_SIZE
to check the sp is at least that far below the top of the stack.

However on 64-bit that size is too large for the final frame, because
it includes the red zone, but we don't allocate a red zone for the
first frame.

So add a new define that encodes the correct size for 32-bit and
64-bit, and use it in show_stack().

This results in the full trace being shown on 64-bit, eg:

  sysrq: Trigger a crash
  Kernel panic - not syncing: sysrq triggered crash

<title>powerpc/64: Make stack tracing work during very early boot</title>

If we try to stack trace very early during boot, either due to a
WARN/BUG or manual dump_stack(), we will oops in
valid_emergency_stack() when we try to dereference the paca_ptrs
array.

The fix is simple, we just return false if paca_ptrs isn't allocated
yet. The stack pointer definitely isn't part of any emergency stack
because we haven't allocated any yet.
