commit 07b050f9290ee012a407a0f64151db902a1520f5 upstream.

Relocatable kernels must not discard relocations, they need to be
processed at runtime. As such they are included for CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
builds in the powerpc linker script (line 340).

However they are also unconditionally discarded later in the
script (line 414). Previously that worked because the earlier inclusion
superseded the discard.

However commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and
riscv") introduced an earlier use of DISCARD as part of the RO_DATA
macro (line 137). With binutils &lt; 2.36 that causes the DISCARD
directives later in the script to be applied earlier, causing .rela* to
actually be discarded at link time, leading to build warnings and a
kernel that doesn't boot:

  ld: warning: discarding dynamic section .rela.init.rodata

Fix it by conditionally discarding .rela* only when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
is disabled.

<title>powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT</title>

commit 4b9880dbf3bdba3a7c56445137c3d0e30aaa0a40 upstream.

The powerpc linker script explicitly includes .exit.text, because
otherwise the link fails due to references from __bug_table and
__ex_table. The code is freed (discarded) at runtime along with
.init.text and data.

That has worked in the past despite powerpc not defining
RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT because DISCARDS appears late in the powerpc linker
script (line 410), and the explicit inclusion of .exit.text
earlier (line 280) supersedes the discard.

However commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and
riscv") introduced an earlier use of DISCARD as part of the RO_DATA
macro (line 136). With binutils &lt; 2.36 that causes the DISCARD
directives later in the script to be applied earlier [1], causing
.exit.text to actually be discarded at link time, leading to build
errors:

  '.exit.text' referenced in section '__bug_table' of crypto/algboss.o: defined in
  discarded section '.exit.text' of crypto/algboss.o
  '.exit.text' referenced in section '__ex_table' of drivers/nvdimm/core.o: defined in
  discarded section '.exit.text' of drivers/nvdimm/core.o

Fix it by defining RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT, which causes the generic
DISCARDS macro to not include .exit.text at all.

<title>powerpc/eeh: Set channel state after notifying the drivers</title>

[ Upstream commit 9efcdaac36e1643a1b7f5337e6143ce142d381b1 ]

When a PCI error is encountered 6th time in an hour we
set the channel state to perm_failure and notify the
driver about the permanent failure.

However, after upstream commit 38ddc011478e ("powerpc/eeh:
Make permanently failed devices non-actionable"), EEH handler
stops calling any routine once the device is marked as
permanent failure. This issue can lead to fatal consequences
like kernel hang with certain PCI devices.

Following log is observed with lpfc driver, with and without
this change, Without this change kernel hangs, If PCI error
is encountered 6 times for a device in an hour.

Without the change

 EEH: Beginning: 'error_detected(permanent failure)'
 PCI 0132:60:00.0#600000: EEH: not actionable (1,1,1)
 PCI 0132:60:00.1#600000: EEH: not actionable (1,1,1)
 EEH: Finished:'error_detected(permanent failure)'

With the change

 EEH: Beginning: 'error_detected(permanent failure)'
 EEH: Invoking lpfc-&gt;error_detected(permanent failure)
 EEH: lpfc driver reports: 'disconnect'
 EEH: Invoking lpfc-&gt;error_detected(permanent failure)
 EEH: lpfc driver reports: 'disconnect'
 EEH: Finished:'error_detected(permanent failure)'

To fix the issue, set channel state to permanent failure after
notifying the drivers.

The control flow of eeh_handle_normal_event() is a bit tricky.

Break out one of the error handling paths - rather than be in an else
block, we'll make it part of the regular body of the function and put a
'goto out;' in the true limb of the if.

<title>powerpc/rtas: ensure 4KB alignment for rtas_data_buf</title>

[ Upstream commit 836b5b9fcc8e09cea7e8a59a070349a00e818308 ]

Some RTAS functions that have work area parameters impose alignment
requirements on the work area passed to them by the OS. Examples
include:

- ibm,configure-connector
- ibm,update-nodes
- ibm,update-properties

4KB is the greatest alignment required by PAPR for such
buffers. rtas_data_buf used to have a __page_aligned attribute in the
arch/ppc64 days, but that was changed to __cacheline_aligned for
unknown reasons by commit 033ef338b6e0 ("powerpc: Merge rtas.c into
arch/powerpc/kernel"). That works out to 128-byte alignment
on ppc64, which isn't right.

This was found by inspection and I'm not aware of any real problems
caused by this. Either current RTAS implementations don't enforce the
alignment constraints, or rtas_data_buf is always being placed at a
4KB boundary by accident (or both, perhaps).

Use __aligned(SZ_4K) to ensure the rtas_data_buf has alignment
appropriate for all users.

[ Upstream commit 9bce6243848dfd0ff7c2be6e8d82ab9b1e6c7858 ]

The first symbol exports of RTAS functions and data came with the (now
removed) scanlog driver in 2003:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/commit/?id=f92e361842d5251e50562b09664082dcbd0548bb

At the time this was applied, EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() was very new, and
the exports of rtas_call() etc have remained non-GPL. As new APIs have
been added to the RTAS subsystem, their symbol exports have followed
the convention set by existing code.

However, the historical evidence is that RTAS function exports have been
added over time only to satisfy the needs of in-kernel users, and these
clients must have fairly intimate knowledge of how the APIs work to use
them safely. No out of tree users are known, and future ones seem
unlikely.

Arguably the default for RTAS symbols should have become
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL once it was available. Let's make it so now, and
exceptions can be evaluated as needed.

<title>exit: Add and use make_task_dead.</title>

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream.

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream.

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

[ Upstream commit 6c606e57eecc37d6b36d732b1ff7e55b7dc32dd4 ]

It's unsafe to use rtas_busy_delay() to handle a busy status from
the ibm,os-term RTAS function in rtas_os_term():

Use rtas_busy_delay_time() instead, which signals without side effects
whether to attempt the ibm,os-term RTAS call again.

[ Upstream commit ed2213bfb192ab51f09f12e9b49b5d482c6493f3 ]

rtas_os_term() is called during panic. Its behavior depends on a couple
of conditions in the /rtas node of the device tree, the traversal of
which entails locking and local IRQ state changes. If the kernel panics
while devtree_lock is held, rtas_os_term() as currently written could
hang.

Instead of discovering the relevant characteristics at panic time,
cache them in file-static variables at boot. Note the lookup for
"ibm,extended-os-term" is converted to of_property_read_bool() since it
is a boolean property, not an RTAS function token.
