commit 1da4a0272c5469169f78cd76cf175ff984f52f06 upstream.

__get_user_atomic_128_aligned() stores to kaddr using stvx which is a
VMX store instruction, hence kaddr must be 16 byte aligned otherwise
the store won't occur as expected.

Unfortunately when we call __get_user_atomic_128_aligned() in
p9_hmi_special_emu(), the buffer we pass as kaddr (ie. vbuf) isn't
guaranteed to be 16B aligned. This means that the write to vbuf in
__get_user_atomic_128_aligned() has the bottom bits of the address
truncated. This results in other local variables being
overwritten. Also vbuf will not contain the correct data which results
in the userspace emulation being wrong and hence undetected user data
corruption.

In the past we've been mostly lucky as vbuf has ended up aligned but
this is fragile and isn't always true. CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR in
particular can change the stack arrangement enough that our luck runs
out.

This issue only occurs on POWER9 Nimbus &lt;= DD2.1 bare metal.

The fix is to align vbuf to a 16 byte boundary.

commit 2c637d2df4ee4830e9d3eb2bd5412250522ce96e upstream.

low_sleep_handler() has an hardcoded restore of segment registers
that doesn't take KUAP and KUEP into account.

Use head_32's load_segment_registers() routine instead.

commit a02f6d42357acf6e5de6ffc728e6e77faf3ad217 upstream.

It's not done anything for a long time. Save the percpu variable, and
emit a warning to remind users to not expect it to do anything.

This uses pr_warn_once instead of pr_warn_ratelimit as testing
'ppc64_cpu --smt=off' on a 24 core / 4 SMT system showed the warning
to be noisy, as the online/offline loop is slow.

<title>powerpc/rtas: Restrict RTAS requests from userspace</title>

<content type='text'>
commit bd59380c5ba4147dcbaad3e582b55ccfd120b764 upstream.

A number of userspace utilities depend on making calls to RTAS to retrieve
information and update various things.

The existing API through which we expose RTAS to userspace exposes more
RTAS functionality than we actually need, through the sys_rtas syscall,
which allows root (or anyone with CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to make any RTAS call they
want with arbitrary arguments.

Many RTAS calls take the address of a buffer as an argument, and it's up to
the caller to specify the physical address of the buffer as an argument. We
allocate a buffer (the "RMO buffer") in the Real Memory Area that RTAS can
access, and then expose the physical address and size of this buffer in
/proc/powerpc/rtas/rmo_buffer. Userspace is expected to read this address,
poke at the buffer using /dev/mem, and pass an address in the RMO buffer to
the RTAS call.

However, there's nothing stopping the caller from specifying whatever
address they want in the RTAS call, and it's easy to construct a series of
RTAS calls that can overwrite arbitrary bytes (even without /dev/mem
access).

Additionally, there are some RTAS calls that do potentially dangerous
things and for which there are no legitimate userspace use cases.

In the past, this would not have been a particularly big deal as it was
assumed that root could modify all system state freely, but with Secure
Boot and lockdown we need to care about this.

We can't fundamentally change the ABI at this point, however we can address
this by implementing a filter that checks RTAS calls against a list
of permitted calls and forces the caller to use addresses within the RMO
buffer.

The list is based off the list of calls that are used by the librtas
userspace library, and has been tested with a number of existing userspace
RTAS utilities. For compatibility with any applications we are not aware of
that require other calls, the filter can be turned off at build time.

According to Freescale's documentation, MPC74XX processors have an
erratum that prevents the TAU interrupt from working, so don't try to
use it when running on those processors.

[ Upstream commit 5e3119e15fed5b9a9a7e528665ff098a4a8dbdbc ]

According to Freescale's documentation, MPC74XX processors have an
erratum that prevents the TAU interrupt from working, so don't try to
use it when running on those processors.

[ Upstream commit 420ab2bc7544d978a5d0762ee736412fe9c796ab ]

The commentary at the call site seems to disagree with the code. The
conditional prevents calling set_thresholds() via the exception handler,
which appears to crash. Perhaps that's because it immediately triggers
another TAU exception. Anyway, calling set_thresholds() from TAUupdate()
is redundant because tau_timeout() does so.

Since commit 19dbdcb8039cf ("smp: Warn on function calls from softirq
context") the Thermal Assist Unit driver causes a warning like the
following when CONFIG_SMP is enabled.

[ Upstream commit 66943005cc41f48e4d05614e8f76c0ca1812f0fd ]

According to the MPC750 Users Manual, the SITV value in Thermal
Management Register 3 is 13 bits long. The present code calculates the
SITV value as 60 * 500 cycles. This would overflow to give 10 us on
a 500 MHz CPU rather than the intended 60 us. (But according to the
Microprocessor Datasheet, there is also a factor of 266 that has to be
applied to this value on certain parts i.e. speed sort above 266 MHz.)
Always use the maximum cycle count, as recommended by the Datasheet.
