Having a stable wchan means the process must be blocked and for it to
stay that way while performing stack unwinding.

<title>powerpc/64s: Fix copy-paste data exposure into newly created tasks</title>

<id>f35d2f249ef05b9671e7898f09ad89aa78f99122</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>powerpc/64s: avoid reloading (H)SRR registers if they are still valid</title>

When an interrupt is taken, the SRR registers are set to return to where
it left off. Unless they are modified in the meantime, or the return
address or MSR are modified, there is no need to reload these registers
when returning from interrupt.

Introduce per-CPU flags that track the validity of SRR and HSRR
registers. These are cleared when returning from interrupt, when
using the registers for something else (e.g., OPAL calls), when
adjusting the return address or MSR of a context, and when context
switching (which changes the return address and MSR).

This improves the performance of interrupt returns.

<title>powerpc: make stack walking KASAN-safe</title>

<content type='text'>
Make our stack-walking code KASAN-safe by using __no_sanitize_address.
Generic code, arm64, s390 and x86 all make accesses unchecked for similar
sorts of reasons: when unwinding a stack, we might touch memory that KASAN
has marked as being out-of-bounds. In ppc64 KASAN development, I hit this
sometimes when checking for an exception frame - because we're checking
an arbitrary offset into the stack frame.

See commit 20955746320e ("s390/kasan: avoid false positives during stack
unwind"), commit bcaf669b4bdb ("arm64: disable kasan when accessing
frame-&gt;fp in unwind_frame"), commit 91e08ab0c851 ("x86/dumpstack:
Prevent KASAN false positive warnings") and commit 6e22c8366416

<title>powerpc/32s: Rework Kernel Userspace Access Protection</title>

<id>16132529cee586ee9a058bb33cfbdcb5d884f6b3</id>
<content type='text'>
On book3s/32, KUAP is provided by toggling Ks bit in segment registers.
One segment register addresses 256M of virtual memory.

At the time being, KUAP implements a complex logic to apply the
unlock/lock on the exact number of segments covering the user range
to access, with saving the boundaries of the range of segments in
a member of thread struct.

But most if not all user accesses are within a single segment.

Rework KUAP with a different approach:
- Open only one segment, the one corresponding to the starting
address of the range to be accessed.
- If a second segment is involved, it will generate a page fault. The
segment will then be open by the page fault handler.

The kuap member of thread struct will now contain:
- The start address of the current on going user access, that will be
used to know which segment to lock at the end of the user access.
- ~0 when no user access is open
- ~1 when additionnal segments are opened by a page fault.

Then, at lock time
- When only one segment is open, close it.
- When several segments are open, close all user segments.

Almost 100% of the time, only one segment will be involved.

In interrupts, inline the function that unlock/lock all segments,
because not inlining them implies a lot of register save/restore.

With the patch, writing value 128 in userspace in perf_copy_attr() is
done with 16 instructions:

    3890:	93 82 04 dc 	stw     r28,1244(r2)
    3894:	7d 20 e5 26 	mfsrin  r9,r28
    3898:	55 29 00 80 	rlwinm  r9,r9,0,2,0

<pre>
On book3s/32, KUAP is provided by toggling Ks bit in segment registers.
One segment register addresses 256M of virtual memory.

At the time being, KUAP implements a complex logic to apply the
unlock/lock on the exact number of segments covering the user range
to access, with saving the boundaries of the range of segments in
a member of thread struct.

But most if not all user accesses are within a single segment.

Rework KUAP with a different approach:
- Open only one segment, the one corresponding to the starting
address of the range to be accessed.
- If a second segment is involved, it will generate a page fault. The
segment will then be open by the page fault handler.

The kuap member of thread struct will now contain:
- The start address of the current on going user access, that will be
used to know which segment to lock at the end of the user access.
- ~0 when no user access is open
- ~1 when additionnal segments are opened by a page fault.

Then, at lock time
- When only one segment is open, close it.
- When several segments are open, close all user segments.

Almost 100% of the time, only one segment will be involved.

In interrupts, inline the function that unlock/lock all segments,
because not inlining them implies a lot of register save/restore.

With the patch, writing value 128 in userspace in perf_copy_attr() is
done with 16 instructions:

<title>powerpc: Don't handle ALTIVEC/SPE in ASM in _switch(). Do it in C.</title>

_switch() saves and restores ALTIVEC and SPE status.
For altivec this is redundant with what __switch_to() does with
save_sprs() and restore_sprs() and giveup_all() before
calling _switch().

Add support for SPI in save_sprs() and restore_sprs() and
remove things from _switch().
