[ Upstream commit 271208ee5e335cb1ad280d22784940daf7ddf820 ]

Using memcpy() isn't safe when buf is identical to rtas_err_buf, which
can happen during boot before slab is up. Full context which may not
be obvious from the diff:

	if (altbuf) {
		buf = altbuf;
	} else {
		buf = rtas_err_buf;
		if (slab_is_available())
			buf = kmalloc(RTAS_ERROR_LOG_MAX, GFP_ATOMIC);
	}
	if (buf)
		memcpy(buf, rtas_err_buf, RTAS_ERROR_LOG_MAX);

This was found by inspection and I'm not aware of it causing problems
in practice. It appears to have been introduced by commit
033ef338b6e0 ("powerpc: Merge rtas.c into arch/powerpc/kernel"); the
old ppc64 version of this code did not have this problem.

Use memmove() instead.

[ Upstream commit ed2213bfb192ab51f09f12e9b49b5d482c6493f3 ]

rtas_os_term() is called during panic. Its behavior depends on a couple
of conditions in the /rtas node of the device tree, the traversal of
which entails locking and local IRQ state changes. If the kernel panics
while devtree_lock is held, rtas_os_term() as currently written could
hang.

Instead of discovering the relevant characteristics at panic time,
cache them in file-static variables at boot. Note the lookup for
"ibm,extended-os-term" is converted to of_property_read_bool() since it
is a boolean property, not an RTAS function token.

The error injection facility on pseries VMs allows corruption of
arbitrary guest memory, potentially enabling a sufficiently privileged
user to disable lockdown or perform other modifications of the running
kernel via the rtas syscall.

Block the PAPR error injection facility from being opened or called
when locked down.

At the time this was submitted by Leonardo, I confirmed -- or thought
I had confirmed -- with PowerVM partition firmware development that
the following RTAS functions:

- ibm,get-xive
- ibm,int-off
- ibm,int-on
- ibm,set-xive

were safe to call on multiple CPUs simultaneously, not only with
respect to themselves as indicated by PAPR, but with arbitrary other
RTAS calls:

https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/875zcy2v8o.fsf@linux.ibm.com/

Recent discussion with firmware development makes it clear that this
is not true, and that the code in commit b664db8e3f97 ("powerpc/rtas:
Implement reentrant rtas call") is unsafe, likely explaining several
strange bugs we've seen in internal testing involving DLPAR and
LPM. These scenarios use ibm,configure-connector, whose internal state
can be corrupted by the concurrent use of the "reentrant" functions,
leading to symptoms like endless busy statuses from RTAS.

<content type='text'>
Add a special case to block_rtas_call() to allow the ibm,platform-dump RTAS
call through the RTAS filter if the buffer address is 0.

According to PAPR, ibm,platform-dump is called with a null buffer address
to notify the platform firmware that processing of a particular dump is
finished.

Without this, on a pseries machine with CONFIG_PPC_RTAS_FILTER enabled, an
application such as rtas_errd that is attempting to retrieve a dump will
encounter an error at the end of the retrieval process.

rtas_call must not be called with the MMU disabled because in case
of rtas error, log_error is called which requires MMU enabled. Add
a test and warning for this.

<title>powerpc/rtas: Keep MSR[RI] set when calling RTAS</title>

RTAS runs in real mode (MSR[DR] and MSR[IR] unset) and in 32-bit big
endian mode (MSR[SF,LE] unset).

The change in MSR is done in enter_rtas() in a relatively complex way,
since the MSR value could be hardcoded.

Furthermore, a panic has been reported when hitting the watchdog interrupt
while running in RTAS, this leads to the following stack trace:

This happens because MSR[RI] is unset when entering RTAS but there is no
valid reason to not set it here.

RTAS is expected to be called with MSR[RI] as specified in PAPR+ section
"7.2.1 Machine State":

  R1–7.2.1–9. If called with MSR[RI] equal to 1, then RTAS must protect
  its own critical regions from recursion by setting the MSR[RI] bit to
  0 when in the critical regions.

Fixing this by reviewing the way MSR is compute before calling RTAS. Now a
hardcoded value meaning real mode, 32 bits big endian mode and Recoverable
Interrupt is loaded. In the case MSR[S] is set, it will remain set while
entering RTAS as only urfid can unset it (thanks Fabiano).

In addition a check is added in do_enter_rtas() to detect calls made with
MSR[RI] unset, as we are forcing it on later.

This patch has been tested on the following machines:
Power KVM Guest
  P8 S822L (host Ubuntu kernel 5.11.0-49-generic)
PowerVM LPAR
  P8 9119-MME (FW860.A1)
