commit 44e5d21e6d3fd2a1fed7f0327cf72e99397e2eaf upstream.

As per the kernel documentation[1], hardlockup detector should
be disabled in KVM guests as it may give false positives. On
PPC, hardlockup detector is enabled inside KVM guests because
disable_hardlockup_detector() is marked as early_initcall and it
relies on kvm_guest static key (is_kvm_guest()) which is initialized
later during boot by check_kvm_guest(), which is a core_initcall.
check_kvm_guest() is also called in pSeries_smp_probe(), which is called
before initcalls, but it is skipped if KVM guest does not have doorbell
support or if the guest is launched with SMT=1.

Call check_kvm_guest() in disable_hardlockup_detector() so that
is_kvm_guest() check goes through fine and hardlockup detector can be
disabled inside the KVM guest.

<title>fadump: reserve param area if below boot_mem_top</title>

[ Upstream commit fb90dca828b6070709093934c6dec56489a2d91d ]

The param area is a memory region where the kernel places additional
command-line arguments for fadump kernel. Currently, the param memory
area is reserved in fadump kernel if it is above boot_mem_top. However,
it should be reserved if it is below boot_mem_top because the fadump
kernel already reserves memory from boot_mem_top to the end of DRAM.

Currently, there is no impact from not reserving param memory if it is
below boot_mem_top, as it is not used after the early boot phase of the
fadump kernel. However, if this changes in the future, it could lead to
issues in the fadump kernel.

[ Upstream commit f4892c68ecc1cf45e41a78820dd2eebccc945b66 ]

Memory for passing additional parameters to fadump capture kernel
is allocated during subsys_initcall level, using memblock. But
as slab is already available by this time, allocation happens via
the buddy allocator. This may work for radix MMU but is likely to
fail in most cases for hash MMU as hash MMU needs this memory in
the first memory block for it to be accessible in real mode in the
capture kernel (second boot). So, allocate memory for additional
parameters area as soon as MMU mode is obvious.

<title>powerpc/fadump: Move fadump_cma_init to setup_arch() after initmem_init()</title>

[ Upstream commit 05b94cae1c47f94588c3e7096963c1007c4d9c1d ]

During early init CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES can be PAGE_SIZE,
since pageblock_order is still zero and it gets initialized
later during initmem_init() e.g.
setup_arch() -&gt; initmem_init() -&gt; sparse_init() -&gt; set_pageblock_order()

One such use case where this causes issue is -
early_setup() -&gt; early_init_devtree() -&gt; fadump_reserve_mem() -&gt; fadump_cma_init()

This causes CMA memory alignment check to be bypassed in
cma_init_reserved_mem(). Then later cma_activate_area() can hit
a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(pfn &amp; ((1 &lt;&lt; order) - 1)) if the reserved memory
area was not pageblock_order aligned.

Fix it by moving the fadump_cma_init() after initmem_init(),
where other such cma reservations also gets called.

[ Upstream commit adfaec30ffaceecd565e06adae367aa944acc3c9 ]

We anyway don't use any return values from fadump_cma_init(). Since
fadump_reserve_mem() from where fadump_cma_init() gets called today,
already has the required checks.
This patch makes this function return type as void. Let's also handle
extra cases like return if fadump_supported is false or dump_active, so
that in later patches we can call fadump_cma_init() separately from
setup_arch().

[ Upstream commit b2473a359763e27567993e7d8f37de82f57a0829 ]

 __pa() is only intended to be used for linear map addresses and using
it for initial_boot_params which is in fixmap for arm64 will give an
incorrect value. Hence save the physical address when it is known at
boot time when calling early_init_dt_scan for arm64 and use it at kexec
time instead of converting the virtual address using __pa().

Note that arm64 doesn't need the FDT region reserved in the DT as the
kernel explicitly reserves the passed in FDT. Therefore, only a debug
warning is fixed with this change.

[ Upstream commit c73049389e58c01e2e3bbfae900c8daeee177191 ]

When running in a non-root time namespace, the global VDSO data page
is replaced by a dedicated namespace data page and the global data
page is mapped next to it. Detailed explanations can be found at
commit 660fd04f9317 ("lib/vdso: Prepare for time namespace support").

When it happens, __kernel_get_syscall_map and __kernel_get_tbfreq
and __kernel_sync_dicache don't work anymore because they read 0
instead of the data they need.

To address that, clock_mode has to be read. When it is set to
VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS, it means it is a dedicated namespace data page
and the global data is located on the following page.

Add a macro called get_realdatapage which reads clock_mode and add
PAGE_SIZE to the pointer provided by get_datapage macro when
clock_mode is equal to VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS. Use this new macro
instead of get_datapage macro except for time functions as they handle
it internally.

During merge of commit 4e991e3c16a3 ("powerpc: add CFUNC assembly
label annotation") a fallback version of CFUNC macro was added at
the last minute, so it can be used inconditionally.

<title>powerpc/8xx: Fix kernel vs user address comparison</title>

[ Upstream commit 65a82e117ffeeab0baf6f871a1cab11a28ace183 ]

Since commit 9132a2e82adc ("powerpc/8xx: Define a MODULE area below
kernel text"), module exec space is below PAGE_OFFSET so not only
space above PAGE_OFFSET, but space above TASK_SIZE need to be seen
as kernel space.

Until now the problem went undetected because by default TASK_SIZE
is 0x8000000 which means address space is determined by just
checking upper address bit. But when TASK_SIZE is over 0x80000000,
PAGE_OFFSET is used for comparison, leading to thinking module
addresses are part of user space.

Fix it by using TASK_SIZE instead of PAGE_OFFSET for address
comparison.

After building the VDSO, there is a verification that it contains
no dynamic relocation, see commit aff69273af61 ("vdso: Improve
cmd_vdso_check to check all dynamic relocations").

This verification uses readelf -r and doesn't work if rela sections
are discarded.
