[ Upstream commit be5470e0c285a68dc3afdea965032f5ddc8269d7 ]

'mem=" option is an easy way to put high pressure on memory during
some test. Hence after applying the memory limit, instead of total
mem, the actual usable memory should be considered when reserving mem
for crashkernel. Otherwise the boot up may experience OOM issue.

E.g. it would reserve 4G prior to the change and 512M afterward, if
passing
crashkernel="2G-4G:384M,4G-16G:512M,16G-64G:1G,64G-128G:2G,128G-:4G",
and mem=5G on a 256G machine.

This issue is powerpc specific because it puts higher priority on
fadump and kdump reservation than on "mem=". Referring the following
code:
    if (fadump_reserve_mem() == 0)
            reserve_crashkernel();
    ...
    /* Ensure that total memory size is page-aligned. */
    limit = ALIGN(memory_limit ?: memblock_phys_mem_size(), PAGE_SIZE);
    memblock_enforce_memory_limit(limit);

While on other arches, the effect of "mem=" takes a higher priority
and pass through memblock_phys_mem_size() before calling
reserve_crashkernel().

commit c74dd88e77d3ecbc9e55c78796d82c9aa21cabad upstream.

When machine check occurs with MSR(RI=0), it means MC interrupt is
unrecoverable and kernel goes down to panic path. But the console
message still shows it as recovered. This patch fixes the MCE console
messages.

<title>powerpc/tm: Fix stack pointer corruption in __tm_recheckpoint()</title>

commit 6bcb80143e792becfd2b9cc6a339ce523e4e2219 upstream.

At the start of __tm_recheckpoint() we save the kernel stack pointer
(r1) in SPRG SCRATCH0 (SPRG2) so that we can restore it after the
trecheckpoint.

Unfortunately, the same SPRG is used in the SLB miss handler.  If an
SLB miss is taken between the save and restore of r1 to the SPRG, the
SPRG is changed and hence r1 is also corrupted.  We can end up with
the following crash when we start using r1 again after the restore
from the SPRG:

We hit this on large memory machines (&gt; 2TB) but it can also be hit on
smaller machines when 1TB segments are disabled.

To hit this, you also need to be virtualised to ensure SLBs are
periodically removed by the hypervisor.

This patches moves the saving of r1 to the SPRG to the region where we
are guaranteed not to take any further SLB misses.

commit dead1c845dbe97e0061dae2017eaf3bd8f8f06ee upstream.

The pseries platform uses the PCI_PROBE_DEVTREE method of PCI probing
which reads "assigned-addresses" of every PCI device and initializes
the device resources. However if the property is missing or zero sized,
then there is no fallback of any kind and the PCI resources remain
undiscovered, i.e. pdev-&gt;resource[] array remains empty.

This adds a fallback which parses the "reg" property in pretty much same
way except it marks resources as "unset" which later make Linux assign
those resources proper addresses.

This has an effect when:
1. a hypervisor failed to assign any resource for a device;
2. /chosen/linux,pci-probe-only=0 is in the DT so the system may try
assigning a resource.
Neither is likely to happen under PowerVM.

commit c7def7fbdeaa25feaa19caf4a27c5d10bd8789e4 upstream.

In restore_tm_sigcontexts() we take the trap value directly from the
user sigcontext with no checking:

	err |= __get_user(regs-&gt;trap, &amp;sc-&gt;gp_regs[PT_TRAP]);

This means we can be in the kernel with an arbitrary regs-&gt;trap value.

Although that's not immediately problematic, there is a risk we could
trigger one of the uses of CHECK_FULL_REGS():

	#define CHECK_FULL_REGS(regs)	BUG_ON(regs-&gt;trap &amp; 1)

It can also cause us to unnecessarily save non-volatile GPRs again in
save_nvgprs(), which shouldn't be problematic but is still wrong.

It's also possible it could trick the syscall restart machinery, which
relies on regs-&gt;trap not being == 0xc00 (see 9a81c16b5275 ("powerpc:
fix double syscall restarts")), though I haven't been able to make
that happen.

Finally it doesn't match the behaviour of the non-TM case, in
restore_sigcontext() which zeroes regs-&gt;trap.

So change restore_tm_sigcontexts() to zero regs-&gt;trap.

This was discovered while testing Nick's upcoming rewrite of the
syscall entry path. In that series the call to save_nvgprs() prior to
signal handling (do_notify_resume()) is removed, which leaves the
low-bit of regs-&gt;trap uncleared which can then trigger the FULL_REGS()
WARNs in setup_tm_sigcontexts().

commit fc37a1632d40c80c067eb1bc235139f5867a2667 upstream.

PowerVM systems running compatibility mode on a few Power8 revisions are
still vulnerable to the hardware defect that loses PMU exceptions arriving
prior to a context switch.

The software fix for this issue is enabled through the CPU_FTR_PMAO_BUG
cpu_feature bit, nevertheless this bit also needs to be set for PowerVM
compatibility mode systems.

Allow external callers to force the cacheinfo code to release all its
references to cache nodes, e.g. before processing device tree updates
post-migration, and to rebuild the hierarchy afterward.

CPU online/offline must be blocked by callers; enforce this.

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

[ Upstream commit 8e6b6da91ac9b9ec5a925b6cb13f287a54bd547d ]

Some PowerPC CPUs are vulnerable to L1TF to the same extent as to
Meltdown. It is also mitigated by flushing the L1D on privilege
transition.

Currently the sysfs gives a false negative on L1TF on CPUs that I
verified to be vulnerable, a Power9 Talos II Boston 004e 1202, PowerNV
T2P9D01.
