commit bc276ecba132caccb1fda5863a652c15def2b8c6 upstream.

PPC_INVALIDATE_ERAT is slbia IH=7 which is a new variant introduced
with POWER9, and the result is undefined on earlier CPUs.

Commits 7b9f71f974 ("powerpc/64s: POWER9 machine check handler") and
d4748276ae ("powerpc/64s: Improve local TLB flush for boot and MCE on
POWER9") caused POWER7/8 code to use this instruction. Remove it. An
ERAT flush can be made by invalidatig the SLB, but before POWER9 that
requires a flush and rebolt.

<title>powerpc/tm: Fix HFSCR bit for no suspend case</title>

commit dd9a8c5a87395b6f05552c3b44e42fdc95760552 upstream.

Currently on P9N DD2.1 we end up taking infinite TM facility
unavailable exceptions on the first TM usage by userspace.

In the special case of TM no suspend (P9N DD2.1), Linux is told TM is
off via CPU dt-ftrs but told to (partially) use it via
OPAL_REINIT_CPUS_TM_SUSPEND_DISABLED. So HFSCR[TM] will be off from
dt-ftrs but we need to turn it on for the no suspend case.

This patch fixes this by enabling HFSCR TM in this case.

commit 59fe7eaf3598a89cbcd72e645b1d08afd76f7b29 upstream.

module_frob_arch_sections() is called before the module is moved to its
final location. The function descriptor section addresses we are setting
here are thus invalid. Fix this by processing opd section during
module_finalize()

   The recent fix we did to avoid patching __init text broke some 32-bit

   Our show_user_instructions() could be tricked into printing kernel

Recently we implemented show_user_instructions() which dumps the code
around the NIP when a user space process dies with an unhandled
signal. This was modelled on the x86 code, and we even went so far as
to implement the exact same bug, namely that if the user process
crashed with its NIP pointing into the kernel we will dump kernel text
to dmesg. eg:

  bad-bctr[2996]: segfault (11) at c000000000010000 nip c000000000010000 lr 12d0b0894 code 1
  bad-bctr[2996]: code: fbe10068 7cbe2b78 7c7f1b78 fb610048 38a10028 38810020 fb810050 7f8802a6
  bad-bctr[2996]: code: 3860001c f8010080 48242371 60000000 &lt;7c7b1b79&gt; 4082002c e8010080 eb610048

This was discovered on x86 by Jann Horn and fixed in commit
342db04ae712 ("x86/dumpstack: Don't dump kernel memory based on usermode RIP").

Fix it by checking the adjusted NIP value (pc) and number of
instructions against USER_DS, and bail if we fail the check, eg:

  bad-bctr[2969]: segfault (11) at c000000000010000 nip c000000000010000 lr 107930894 code 1
  bad-bctr[2969]: Bad NIP, not dumping instructions.

Current we store the userspace r1 to PACATMSCRATCH before finally
saving it to the thread struct.

In theory an exception could be taken here (like a machine check or
SLB miss) that could write PACATMSCRATCH and hence corrupt the
userspace r1. The SLB fault currently doesn't touch PACATMSCRATCH, but
others do.

We've never actually seen this happen but it's theoretically
possible. Either way, the code is fragile as it is.

This patch saves r1 to the kernel stack (which can't fault) before we
turn MSR[RI] back on. PACATMSCRATCH is still used but only with
MSR[RI] off. We then copy r1 from the kernel stack to the thread
struct once we have MSR[RI] back on.

When we treclaim we store the userspace checkpointed r13 to a scratch
SPR and then later save the scratch SPR to the user thread struct.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work as accessing the user thread struct
can take an SLB fault and the SLB fault handler will write the same
scratch SPRG that now contains the userspace r13.

To fix this, we store r13 to the kernel stack (which can't fault)
before we access the user thread struct.

Found by running P8 guest + powervm + disable_1tb_segments + TM. Seen
as a random userspace segfault with r13 looking like a kernel address.

When we come into the softpatch handler (0x1500), we use r11 to store
the HSRR0 for later use by the denorm handler.

We also use the softpatch handler for the TM workarounds for
POWER9. Unfortunately, in kvmppc_interrupt_hv we later store r11 out
to the vcpu assuming it's still what we got from userspace.

This causes r11 to be corrupted in the VCPU and hence when we restore
the guest, we get a corrupted r11. We've seen this when running TM
tests inside guests on P9.

This fixes the problem by only touching r11 in the denorm case.

<title>KVM: PPC: Avoid marking DMA-mapped pages dirty in real mode</title>

At the moment the real mode handler of H_PUT_TCE calls iommu_tce_xchg_rm()
which in turn reads the old TCE and if it was a valid entry, marks
the physical page dirty if it was mapped for writing. Since it is in
real mode, realmode_pfn_to_page() is used instead of pfn_to_page()
to get the page struct. However SetPageDirty() itself reads the compound
page head and returns a virtual address for the head page struct and
setting dirty bit for that kills the system.

This adds additional dirty bit tracking into the MM/IOMMU API for use
in the real mode. Note that this does not change how VFIO and
KVM (in virtual mode) set this bit. The KVM (real mode) changes include:
- use the lowest bit of the cached host phys address to carry
the dirty bit;
- mark pages dirty when they are unpinned which happens when
the preregistered memory is released which always happens in virtual
mode;
- add mm_iommu_ua_mark_dirty_rm() helper to set delayed dirty bit;
- change iommu_tce_xchg_rm() to take the kvm struct for the mm to use
in the new mm_iommu_ua_mark_dirty_rm() helper;
- move iommu_tce_xchg_rm() to book3s_64_vio_hv.c (which is the only
caller anyway) to reduce the real mode KVM and IOMMU knowledge
across different subsystems.

This removes realmode_pfn_to_page() as it is not used anymore.

While we at it, remove some EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() as that code is for
the real mode only and modules cannot call it anyway.
