commit 3b05a1e517e1a8cfda4866ec31d28b2bc4fee4c4 upstream.

"powerpc_security_features" is "unsigned long", i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit,
depending on the platform (PPC_FSL_BOOK3E or PPC_BOOK3S_64).  Hence
casting its address to "u64 *", and calling debugfs_create_x64() is
wrong, and leaks 32-bit of nearby data to userspace on 32-bit platforms.

While all currently defined SEC_FTR_* security feature flags fit in
32-bit, they all have "ULL" suffixes to make them 64-bit constants.
Hence fix the leak by changing the type of "powerpc_security_features"
(and the parameter types of its accessors) to "u64".  This also allows
to drop the cast.

<title>powerpc/security: Fix wrong message when RFI Flush is disable</title>

[ Upstream commit 4e706af3cd8e1d0503c25332b30cad33c97ed442 ]

The issue was showing "Mitigation" message via sysfs whatever the
state of "RFI Flush", but it should show "Vulnerable" when it is
disabled.

If you have "L1D private" feature enabled and not "RFI Flush" you are
vulnerable to meltdown attacks.

"RFI Flush" is the key feature to mitigate the meltdown whatever the
"L1D private" state.

SEC_FTR_L1D_THREAD_PRIV is a feature for Power9 only.

So the message should be as the truth table shows:

  CPU | L1D private | RFI Flush |                sysfs
  ----|-------------|-----------|-------------------------------------
   P9 |    False    |   False   | Vulnerable
   P9 |    False    |   True    | Mitigation: RFI Flush
   P9 |    True     |   False   | Vulnerable: L1D private per thread
   P9 |    True     |   True    | Mitigation: RFI Flush, L1D private per thread
   P8 |    False    |   False   | Vulnerable
   P8 |    False    |   True    | Mitigation: RFI Flush

Output before this fix:
  # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown
  Mitigation: RFI Flush, L1D private per thread
  # echo 0 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/rfi_flush
  # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown
  Mitigation: L1D private per thread

Output after fix:
  # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown

  # echo 0 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/rfi_flush

Meltdown. It is also mitigated by flushing the L1D on privilege

Currently the sysfs gives a false negative on L1TF on CPUs that I

commit af2e8c68b9c5403f77096969c516f742f5bb29e0 upstream.

On some systems that are vulnerable to Spectre v2, it is up to
software to flush the link stack (return address stack), in order to
protect against Spectre-RSB.

When exiting from a guest we do some house keeping and then
potentially exit to C code which is several stack frames deep in the
host kernel. We will then execute a series of returns without
preceeding calls, opening up the possiblity that the guest could have
poisoned the link stack, and direct speculative execution of the host
to a gadget of some sort.

To prevent this we add a flush of the link stack on exit from a guest.

<title>powerpc/book3s64: Fix link stack flush on context switch</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 39e72bf96f5847ba87cc5bd7a3ce0fed813dc9ad upstream.

In commit ee13cb249fab ("powerpc/64s: Add support for software count
cache flush"), I added support for software to flush the count
cache (indirect branch cache) on context switch if firmware told us
that was the required mitigation for Spectre v2.

As part of that code we also added a software flush of the link
stack (return address stack), which protects against Spectre-RSB
between user processes.

That is all correct for CPUs that activate that mitigation, which is
currently Power9 Nimbus DD2.3.

What I got wrong is that on older CPUs, where firmware has disabled
the count cache, we also need to flush the link stack on context
switch.

To fix it we create a new feature bit which is not set by firmware,
which tells us we need to flush the link stack. We set that when
firmware tells us that either of the existing Spectre v2 mitigations
are enabled.

Then we adjust the patching code so that if we see that feature bit we
enable the link stack flush. If we're also told to flush the count
cache in software then we fall through and do that also.

On the older CPUs we don't need to do do the software count cache
flush, firmware has disabled it, so in that case we patch in an early
return after the link stack flush.

The naming of some of the functions is awkward after this patch,
because they're called "count cache" but they also do link stack. But
we'll fix that up in a later commit to ease backporting.

This is the fix for CVE-2019-18660.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Slightly delayed due to the issue with printk() calling
  probe_kernel_read() interacting with our new user access prevention
  stuff, but all fixed now.

  The only out-of-area changes are the addition of a cpuhp_state, small
  additions to Documentation and MAINTAINERS updates.

  Highlights:

   - Support for Kernel Userspace Access/Execution Prevention (like
     SMAP/SMEP/PAN/PXN) on some 64-bit and 32-bit CPUs. This prevents
     the kernel from accidentally accessing userspace outside
     copy_to/from_user(), or ever executing userspace.

   - KASAN support on 32-bit.

   - Rework of where we map the kernel, vmalloc, etc. on 64-bit hash to
     use the same address ranges we use with the Radix MMU.

   - A rewrite into C of large parts of our idle handling code for
     64-bit Book3S (ie. power8 &amp; power9).

   - A fast path entry for syscalls on 32-bit CPUs, for a 12-17% speedup
     in the null_syscall benchmark.

   - On 64-bit bare metal we have support for recovering from errors
     with the time base (our clocksource), however if that fails
     currently we hang in __delay() and never crash. We now have support
     for detecting that case and short circuiting __delay() so we at
     least panic() and reboot.

   - Add support for optionally enabling the DAWR on Power9, which had
     to be disabled by default due to a hardware erratum. This has the
     effect of enabling hardware breakpoints for GDB, the downside is a
     badly behaved program could crash the machine by pointing the DAWR
     at cache inhibited memory. This is opt-in obviously.

   - xmon, our crash handler, gets support for a read only mode where
     operations that could change memory or otherwise disturb the system
     are disabled.

  Plus many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Slightly delayed due to the issue with printk() calling
  probe_kernel_read() interacting with our new user access prevention
  stuff, but all fixed now.

  The only out-of-area changes are the addition of a cpuhp_state, small
  additions to Documentation and MAINTAINERS updates.

  Highlights:

   - Support for Kernel Userspace Access/Execution Prevention (like
     SMAP/SMEP/PAN/PXN) on some 64-bit and 32-bit CPUs. This prevents
     the kernel from accidentally accessing userspace outside
     copy_to/from_user(), or ever executing userspace.

   - KASAN support on 32-bit.

   - Rework of where we map the kernel, vmalloc, etc. on 64-bit hash to
     use the same address ranges we use with the Radix MMU.

   - A rewrite into C of large parts of our idle handling code for
     64-bit Book3S (ie. power8 &amp; power9).

   - A fast path entry for syscalls on 32-bit CPUs, for a 12-17% speedup
     in the null_syscall benchmark.

   - On 64-bit bare metal we have support for recovering from errors
     with the time base (our clocksource), however if that fails
     currently we hang in __delay() and never crash. We now have support
     for detecting that case and short circuiting __delay() so we at
     least panic() and reboot.

   - Add support for optionally enabling the DAWR on Power9, which had
     to be disabled by default due to a hardware erratum. This has the
     effect of enabling hardware breakpoints for GDB, the downside is a
     badly behaved program could crash the machine by pointing the DAWR
     at cache inhibited memory. This is opt-in obviously.

   - xmon, our crash handler, gets support for a read only mode where
     operations that could change memory or otherwise disturb the system
     are disabled.

  Plus many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.

This can be helpful for debugging problems with the security feature
flags, especially on guests where the flags come from the hypervisor
via an hcall and so can't be observed in the device tree.

Configure powerpc CPU runtime speculation bug mitigations in accordance
with the 'mitigations=' cmdline option.  This affects Meltdown, Spectre
v1, Spectre v2, and Speculative Store Bypass.

The default behavior is unchanged.
