commit 4705e02498d6d5a7ab98dfee9595cd5e91db2017 upstream.

We need to update the user TM feature bits (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM and
PPC_FEATURE2_HTM) to mirror what we do with the kernel TM feature
bit.

At the moment, if firmware reports TM is not available we turn off
the kernel TM feature bit but leave the userspace ones on. Userspace
thinks it can execute TM instructions and it dies trying.

This (together with a QEMU patch) fixes PR KVM, which doesn't currently
support TM.

commit beff82374b259d726e2625ec6c518a5f2613f0ae upstream.

scan_features() updates cpu_user_features but not cpu_user_features2.

Amongst other things, cpu_user_features2 contains the user TM feature
bits which we must keep in sync with the kernel TM feature bit.

<title>powerpc: scan_features() updates incorrect bits for REAL_LE</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 6997e57d693b07289694239e52a10d2f02c3a46f upstream.

The REAL_LE feature entry in the ibm_pa_feature struct is missing an MMU
feature value, meaning all the remaining elements initialise the wrong
values.

This means instead of checking for byte 5, bit 0, we check for byte 0,
bit 0, and then we incorrectly set the CPU feature bit as well as MMU
feature bit 1 and CPU user feature bits 0 and 2 (5).

Checking byte 0 bit 0 (IBM numbering), means we're looking at the
"Memory Management Unit (MMU)" feature - ie. does the CPU have an MMU.
In practice that bit is set on all platforms which have the property.

This means we set CPU_FTR_REAL_LE always. In practice that seems not to
matter because all the modern cpus which have this property also
implement REAL_LE, and we've never needed to disable it.

We're also incorrectly setting MMU feature bit 1, which is:

  #define MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx		0x00000002

Luckily the only place that looks for MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx is in Book3E
code, which can't run on the same cpus as scan_features(). So this also
doesn't matter in practice.

Finally in the CPU user feature mask, we're setting bits 0 and 2. Bit 2
is not currently used, and bit 0 is:

  #define PPC_FEATURE_PPC_LE		0x00000001

Which says the CPU supports the old style "PPC Little Endian" mode.
Again this should be harmless in practice as no 64-bit CPUs implement
that mode.

Fix the code by adding the missing initialisation of the MMU feature.

Also add a comment marking CPU user feature bit 2 (0x4) as reserved. It
would be unsafe to start using it as old kernels incorrectly set it.

<title>powerpc/process: Fix altivec SPR not being saved</title>

commit 01d7c2a2de47890934faba91a71d183795e4348d upstream.

In save_sprs() in process.c contains the following test:

	if (cpu_has_feature(cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC)))
		t-&gt;vrsave = mfspr(SPRN_VRSAVE);

CPU feature with the mask 0x1 is CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE so the test
is equivilent to:

	if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC) &amp;&amp;
		cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE))

On CPUs without support for both (i.e G5) this results in vrsave not
being saved between context switches. The vector register save/restore
code doesn't use VRSAVE to determine which registers to save/restore,
but the value of VRSAVE is used to determine if altivec is being used
in several code paths.

When destroying a hw_breakpoint event, the kernel oopses as follows:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000c07
  NIP [c0000000000291d0] arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint+0x40/0x60
  LR [c00000000020b6b4] release_bp_slot+0x44/0x80

Call chain:

  hw_breakpoint_event_init()
    bp-&gt;destroy = bp_perf_event_destroy;

  do_exit()
    perf_event_exit_task()
      perf_event_exit_task_context()
        WRITE_ONCE(child_ctx-&gt;task, TASK_TOMBSTONE);
        perf_event_exit_event()
          free_event()
            _free_event()
              bp_perf_event_destroy() // event-&gt;destroy(event);
                release_bp_slot()
                  arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint()

perf_event_exit_task_context() sets child_ctx-&gt;task as TASK_TOMBSTONE
which is (void *)-1. arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint() tries to fetch
'thread' attribute of 'task' resulting in oops.

Peterz points out that the code shouldn't be using bp-&gt;ctx anyway, but
fixing that will require a decent amount of rework. So for now to fix
the oops, check if bp-&gt;ctx-&gt;task has been set to (void *)-1, before
dereferencing it. We don't use TASK_TOMBSTONE, because that would
require exporting it and it's supposed to be an internal detail.

During error recovery, the device could be removed as part of the
partial hotplug. The criterion used to come with partial hotplug
is: if the device driver provides error_detected(), slot_reset()
and resume() callbacks, it's immune from hotplug. Otherwise,
it's going to experience partial hotplug during EEH recovery. But
the criterion isn't correct enough: mlx4_core driver for Mellanox
adapters provides error_detected(), slot_reset() callbacks, but
resume() isn't there. Those Mellanox adapters won't be to involved
in the partial hotplug.

This fixes the criterion to a practical one: adpater with driver
that provides error_detected(), slot_reset() will be immune from
partial hotplug. resume() isn't mandatory.

Fixes: f2da4ccf ("powerpc/eeh: More relaxed hotplug criterion")
