Commit bce74491c300 ("powerpc/vdso: fix unnecessary rebuilds of
vgettimeofday.o") moved vdso32_wrapper.o and vdso64_wrapper.o out
of arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso[32/64]/ and removed the dependencies in
the Makefile. This leads to the wrappers not being re-build hence the
kernel embedding the old vdso library.

Add back missing dependencies to ensure vdso32_wrapper.o and vdso64_wrapper.o
are rebuilt when vdso32.so.dbg and vdso64.so.dbg are changed.

This is because flush_icache_range() is called on user addresses.

The same problem was detected some time ago on PPC64. It was fixed by
enabling KUAP in commit 59bee45b9712 ("powerpc/mm: Fix missing KUAP
disable in flush_coherent_icache()").

PPC32 doesn't use flush_coherent_icache() and fallbacks on
clean_dcache_range() and invalidate_icache_range().

We could fix it similarly by enabling user access in those functions,
but this is overkill for just flushing two instructions.

The two instructions are 8 bytes aligned, so a single dcbst/icbi is
enough to flush them. Do like __patch_instruction() and inline
a dcbst followed by an icbi just after the write of the instructions,
while user access is still allowed. The isync is not required because
rfi will be used to return to user.

icbi() is handled as a read so read-write user access is needed.

Adding the missing #ifdef is not good because gdb doesn't like getting
an error when getting registers.

Instead, make ptrace return 0s when CONFIG_PPC_FPU_REGS is not set.

Adding the missing #ifdef is not good because gdb doesn't like getting
an error when getting registers.

Instead, make ptrace return 0s when CONFIG_PPC_FPU_REGS is not set.

With some defconfig including CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE,
(for instance mvme5100_defconfig and ps3_defconfig), gcc 5
generates a call to _restgpr_31_x.

Until recently it went unnoticed, but
commit 42ed6d56ade2 ("powerpc/vdso: Block R_PPC_REL24 relocations")
made it rise to the surface.

Provide that function (copied from lib/crtsavres.S) in

unrecoverable_exception() is called from interrupt handlers or

As reported by kernel test robot, a randconfig with high amount of
debuging options can lead to build failure for undefined reference
to replay_soft_interrupts() on ppc32.

This is due to gcc not seeing that __prep_irq_for_enabled_exit()
always returns true on ppc32 because it doesn't inline it for
some reason.

Force inlining of __prep_irq_for_enabled_exit() to fix the build.

<title>powerpc/603: Fix protection of user pages mapped with PROT_NONE</title>

<id>c119565a15a628efdfa51352f9f6c5186e506a1c</id>
<content type='text'>
On book3s/32, page protection is defined by the PP bits in the PTE
which provide the following protection depending on the access
keys defined in the matching segment register:
- PP 00 means RW with key 0 and N/A with key 1.
- PP 01 means RW with key 0 and RO with key 1.
- PP 10 means RW with both key 0 and key 1.
- PP 11 means RO with both key 0 and key 1.

Since the implementation of kernel userspace access protection,
PP bits have been set as follows:
- PP00 for pages without _PAGE_USER
- PP01 for pages with _PAGE_USER and _PAGE_RW
- PP11 for pages with _PAGE_USER and without _PAGE_RW

For kernelspace segments, kernel accesses are performed with key 0
and user accesses are performed with key 1. As PP00 is used for
non _PAGE_USER pages, user can't access kernel pages not flagged
_PAGE_USER while kernel can.

For userspace segments, both kernel and user accesses are performed
with key 0, therefore pages not flagged _PAGE_USER are still
accessible to the user.

This shouldn't be an issue, because userspace is expected to be
accessible to the user. But unlike most other architectures, powerpc
implements PROT_NONE protection by removing _PAGE_USER flag instead of
flagging the page as not valid. This means that pages in userspace
that are not flagged _PAGE_USER shall remain inaccessible.

To get the expected behaviour, just mimic other architectures in the
TLB miss handler by checking _PAGE_USER permission on userspace
accesses as if it was the _PAGE_PRESENT bit.

Note that this problem only is only for 603 cores. The 604+ have
an hash table, and hash_page() function already implement the
verification of _PAGE_USER permission on userspace pages.

Pull io_uring thread rewrite from Jens Axboe:
 "This converts the io-wq workers to be forked off the tasks in question
  instead of being kernel threads that assume various bits of the
  original task identity.

  This kills &gt; 400 lines of code from io_uring/io-wq, and it's the worst
  part of the code. We've had several bugs in this area, and the worry
  is always that we could be missing some pieces for file types doing
  unusual things (recent /dev/tty example comes to mind, userfaultfd
  reads installing file descriptors is another fun one... - both of
  which need special handling, and I bet it's not the last weird oddity
  we'll find).

  With these identical workers, we can have full confidence that we're
  never missing anything. That, in itself, is a huge win. Outside of
  that, it's also more efficient since we're not wasting space and code
  on tracking state, or switching between different states.

  I'm sure we're going to find little things to patch up after this
  series, but testing has been pretty thorough, from the usual
  regression suite to production. Any issue that may crop up should be
  manageable.

  There's also a nice series of further reductions we can do on top of
  this, but I wanted to get the meat of it out sooner rather than later.
  The general worry here isn't that it's fundamentally broken. Most of
  the little issues we've found over the last week have been related to
  just changes in how thread startup/exit is done, since that's the main
  difference between using kthreads and these kinds of threads. In fact,
  if all goes according to plan, I want to get this into the 5.10 and
  5.11 stable branches as well.

  That said, the changes outside of io_uring/io-wq are:

   - arch setup, simple one-liner to each arch copy_thread()
     implementation.

   - Removal of net and proc restrictions for io_uring, they are no
     longer needed or useful"

  With these identical workers, we can have full confidence that we're
  never missing anything. That, in itself, is a huge win. Outside of
  that, it's also more efficient since we're not wasting space and code
  on tracking state, or switching between different states.

  I'm sure we're going to find little things to patch up after this
  series, but testing has been pretty thorough, from the usual
  regression suite to production. Any issue that may crop up should be
  manageable.

  There's also a nice series of further reductions we can do on top of
  this, but I wanted to get the meat of it out sooner rather than later.
  The general worry here isn't that it's fundamentally broken. Most of
  the little issues we've found over the last week have been related to
  just changes in how thread startup/exit is done, since that's the main
  difference between using kthreads and these kinds of threads. In fact,
  if all goes according to plan, I want to get this into the 5.10 and
  5.11 stable branches as well.

  That said, the changes outside of io_uring/io-wq are:

   - arch setup, simple one-liner to each arch copy_thread()
     implementation.

   - Removal of net and proc restrictions for io_uring, they are no
     longer needed or useful"

* tag 'io_uring-worker.v3-2021-02-25' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (30 commits)
  io-wq: remove now unused IO_WQ_BIT_ERROR
  io_uring: fix SQPOLL thread handling over exec
  io-wq: improve manager/worker handling over exec
  io_uring: ensure SQPOLL startup is triggered before error shutdown
  io-wq: make buffered file write hashed work map per-ctx
  io-wq: fix race around io_worker grabbing
  io-wq: fix races around manager/worker creation and task exit
  io_uring: ensure io-wq context is always destroyed for tasks
  arch: ensure parisc/powerpc handle PF_IO_WORKER in copy_thread()
  io_uring: cleanup -&gt;user usage
  io-wq: remove nr_process accounting
  io_uring: flag new native workers with IORING_FEAT_NATIVE_WORKERS
  net: remove cmsg restriction from io_uring based send/recvmsg calls
  Revert "proc: don't allow async path resolution of /proc/self components"
  Revert "proc: don't allow async path resolution of /proc/thread-self components"
  io_uring: move SQPOLL thread io-wq forked worker
  io-wq: make io_wq_fork_thread() available to other users
  io-wq: only remove worker from free_list, if it was there
  io_uring: remove io_identity
  io_uring: remove any grabbing of context
