[ Upstream commit 552263456215ada7ee8700ce022d12b0cffe4802 ]

clock_getres in the vDSO library has to preserve the same behaviour
of posix_get_hrtimer_res().

In particular, posix_get_hrtimer_res() does:
    sec = 0;
    ns = hrtimer_resolution;
and hrtimer_resolution depends on the enablement of the high
resolution timers that can happen either at compile or at run time.

Fix the powerpc vdso implementation of clock_getres keeping a copy of
hrtimer_resolution in vdso data and using that directly.

[ Upstream commit c9029ef9c95765e7b63c4d9aa780674447db1ec0 ]

Commit aea447141c7e ("powerpc: Disable -Wbuiltin-requires-header when
setjmp is used") disabled -Wbuiltin-requires-header because of a
warning about the setjmp and longjmp declarations.

r367387 in clang added another diagnostic around this, complaining
that there is no jmp_buf declaration.

  In file included from ../arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c:47:

We are not using the standard library's longjmp/setjmp implementations

on these files.

commit 29430fae82073d39b1b881a3cd507416a56a363f upstream.

When calling flush_icache_range with a size &gt;4GB, we were masking
off the upper 32 bits, so we would incorrectly flush a range smaller
than intended.

This patch replaces the 32 bit shifts with 64 bit ones, so that
the full size is accounted for.

commit af2e8c68b9c5403f77096969c516f742f5bb29e0 upstream.

On some systems that are vulnerable to Spectre v2, it is up to
software to flush the link stack (return address stack), in order to
protect against Spectre-RSB.

When exiting from a guest we do some house keeping and then
potentially exit to C code which is several stack frames deep in the
host kernel. We will then execute a series of returns without
preceeding calls, opening up the possiblity that the guest could have
poisoned the link stack, and direct speculative execution of the host
to a gadget of some sort.

To prevent this we add a flush of the link stack on exit from a guest.

<title>powerpc/book3s64: Fix link stack flush on context switch</title>

commit 39e72bf96f5847ba87cc5bd7a3ce0fed813dc9ad upstream.

In commit ee13cb249fab ("powerpc/64s: Add support for software count
cache flush"), I added support for software to flush the count
cache (indirect branch cache) on context switch if firmware told us
that was the required mitigation for Spectre v2.

As part of that code we also added a software flush of the link
stack (return address stack), which protects against Spectre-RSB
between user processes.

That is all correct for CPUs that activate that mitigation, which is
currently Power9 Nimbus DD2.3.

What I got wrong is that on older CPUs, where firmware has disabled
the count cache, we also need to flush the link stack on context
switch.

To fix it we create a new feature bit which is not set by firmware,
which tells us we need to flush the link stack. We set that when
firmware tells us that either of the existing Spectre v2 mitigations
are enabled.

Then we adjust the patching code so that if we see that feature bit we
enable the link stack flush. If we're also told to flush the count
cache in software then we fall through and do that also.

On the older CPUs we don't need to do do the software count cache
flush, firmware has disabled it, so in that case we patch in an early
return after the link stack flush.

The naming of some of the functions is awkward after this patch,
because they're called "count cache" but they also do link stack. But
we'll fix that up in a later commit to ease backporting.

This is the fix for CVE-2019-18660.

The ultravisor will do an integrity check of the kernel image but we
relocated it so the check will fail. Restore the original image by
relocating it back to the kernel virtual base address.

This works because during build vmlinux is linked with an expected
virtual runtime address of KERNELBASE.

On POWER9, under some circumstances, a broadcast TLB invalidation will
fail to invalidate the ERAT cache on some threads when there are
parallel mtpidr/mtlpidr happening on other threads of the same core.
This can cause stores to continue to go to a page after it's unmapped.

The workaround is to force an ERAT flush using PID=0 or LPID=0 tlbie
flush. This additional TLB flush will cause the ERAT cache
invalidation. Since we are using PID=0 or LPID=0, we don't get
filtered out by the TLB snoop filtering logic.

We need to still follow this up with another tlbie to take care of
store vs tlbie ordering issue explained in commit:
a5d4b5891c2f ("powerpc/mm: Fixup tlbie vs store ordering issue on
POWER9"). The presence of ERAT cache implies we can still get new
stores and they may miss store queue marking flush.

Rename the #define to indicate this is related to store vs tlbie
ordering issue. In the next patch, we will be adding another feature
flag that is used to handles ERAT flush vs tlbie ordering issue.
