[ Upstream commit 2a7ce82dc46c591c9244057d89a6591c9639b9b9 ]

In order for KCSAN to increase its likelihood of observing a data race,
it sets a watchpoint on memory accesses and stalls, allowing for
detection of conflicting accesses by other kernel threads or interrupts.

Stalls are implemented by injecting a call to udelay in instrumented code.
To prevent recursive instrumentation, exclude udelay from being instrumented.

[ Upstream commit dc222fa7737212fe0da513e5b8937c156d02225d ]

The early paca and boot cpuid dance is complicated and currently does
not quite work as expected for boot cpuid != 0 cases.

early_init_devtree() currently allocates the paca_ptrs and boot cpuid
paca, but until that returns and early_setup() calls setup_paca(), this
thread is currently still executing with smp_processor_id() == 0.

One problem this causes is the paca_ptrs[smp_processor_id()] pointer is
poisoned, so valid_emergency_stack() (any backtrace) and any similar
users will crash.

Another is that the hardware id which is set here will not be returned
by get_hard_smp_processor_id(smp_processor_id()), but it would work
correctly for boot_cpuid == 0, which could lead to difficult to
reproduce or find bugs. The hard id does not seem to be used by the rest
of early_init_devtree(), it just looks like all this code might have
been put here to allocate somewhere to store boot CPU hardware id while
scanning the devtree.

Rearrange things so the hwid is put in a global variable like
boot_cpuid, and do all the paca allocation and boot paca setup in the
64-bit early_setup() after we have everything ready to go.

The paca_ptrs[0] re-poisoning code in early_setup does not seem to have
ever worked, because paca_ptrs[0] was never not-poisoned when boot_cpuid
is not 0.

<title>powerpc/64: Fix task_cpu in early boot when booting non-zero cpuid</title>

[ Upstream commit 9fa24404f5044967753a6cd3e5e36f57686bec6e ]

powerpc/64 can boot on a non-zero SMP processor id. Initially, the boot
CPU is said to be "assumed to be 0" until early_init_devtree() discovers
the id from the device tree. That is not a good description because the
assumption can be wrong and that has to be handled, the better
description is that 0 is used as a placeholder, and things are fixed
after the real id is discovered.

smp_processor_id() is set to the boot cpuid, but task_cpu(current) is
not, which causes the smp_processor_id() == task_cpu(current) invariant
to be broken until init_idle() in sched_init().

This is quite fragile and could lead to subtle bugs in future. One bug
is that validate_sp_size uses task_cpu() to get the process stack, so
any stack trace from the booting CPU between early_init_devtree()
and sched_init() will have problems. Early on paca_ptrs[0] will be
poisoned, so that can cause machine checks dereferencing that memory
in real mode. Later, validating the current stack pointer against the
idle task of a different secondary will probably cause no stack trace
to be printed.

Fix this by setting thread_info-&gt;cpu right after smp_processor_id() is
set to the boot cpuid.

That test was introducted in 2006 by
commit 00ae36de49cc ("[POWERPC] Better check in show_instructions").
At that time, there was no BPF progs.

As seen in message of commit 89d21e259a94 ("powerpc/bpf/32: Fix Oops
on tail call tests"), when a page fault occurs in test_bpf.ko for
instance, the code is dumped as XXXXXXXXs. Allthough
__kernel_text_address() checks is_bpf_text_address(), it seems it is
not enough.

Today, show_instructions() uses get_kernel_nofault() to read the code,
so there is no real need for additional verifications.

ARM64 and x86 don't do any additional check before dumping
instructions. Do the same and remove __kernel_text_address()
in show_instructions().

[ Upstream commit 5746ca131e2496ccd5bb4d7a0244d6c38070cbf5 ]

Interrupt handlers called by soft-pending irq replay code can run
softirqs, softirq replay enables and disables local irqs, which allows
interrupts to come in including soft-masked interrupts, and it can
cause pending irqs to be replayed again. That makes the soft irq replay
state machine and possible races more complicated and fragile than it
needs to be.

Use irq_enter/irq_exit around irq replay to prevent softirqs running
while interrupts are being replayed. Softirqs will now be run at the
irq_exit() call after all the irq replaying is done. This prevents irqs
being replayed while irqs are being replayed, and should hopefully make
things simpler and easier to think about and debug.

A new PACA_IRQ_REPLAYING is added to prevent asynchronous interrupt
handlers hard-enabling EE while pending irqs are being replayed, because
that causes new pending irqs to arrive which is also a complexity. This
means pending irqs won't be profiled quite so well because perf irqs
can't be taken.

The RFI and STF security mitigation options can flip the
interrupt_exit_not_reentrant static branch condition concurrently with
the interrupt exit code which tests that branch.

Interrupt exit tests this condition to set MSR[EE|RI] for exit, then
again in the case a soft-masked interrupt is found pending, to recover
the MSR so the interrupt can be replayed before attempting to exit
again. If the condition changes between these two tests, the MSR and irq
soft-mask state will become corrupted, leading to warnings and possible
crashes. For example, if the branch is initially true then false,
MSR[EE] will be 0 but PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS clear and EE may not get
enabled, leading to warnings in irq_64.c.

Interrupt entry sets the soft mask to IRQS_ALL_DISABLED to match the
hard irq disabled state. So when should_hard_irq_enable() returns true
because we want PMI interrupts in irq handlers, MSR[EE] is enabled but
PMIs just get soft-masked. Fix this by clearing IRQS_PMI_DISABLED before
enabling MSR[EE].

This also tidies some of the warnings, no need to duplicate them in
both should_hard_irq_enable() and do_hard_irq_enable().

Interrupt entry sets the soft mask to IRQS_ALL_DISABLED to match the
hard irq disabled state. So when should_hard_irq_enable() returns true
because we want PMI interrupts in irq handlers, MSR[EE] is enabled but
PMIs just get soft-masked. Fix this by clearing IRQS_PMI_DISABLED before
enabling MSR[EE].

This also tidies some of the warnings, no need to duplicate them in
both should_hard_irq_enable() and do_hard_irq_enable().

objtool throws the following warning:
  arch/powerpc/kernel/head_85xx.o: warning: objtool: .head.text+0x1a6c:
  unannotated intra-function call

Fix the warning by annotating KernelSPE symbol with SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL
and SYM_FUNC_END macros.

<title>powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Don't discard .comment</title>

Although the powerpc linker script mentions .comment in the DISCARD
section, that has never actually caused it to be discarded, because the
earlier ELF_DETAILS macro (previously STABS_DEBUG) explicitly includes
.comment.

However commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and
riscv") introduced an earlier use of DISCARD as part of the RO_DATA
macro. With binutils &lt; 2.36 that causes the DISCARD directives later in
the script to be applied earlier, causing .comment to actually be
discarded.

It's confusing to explicitly include and discard .comment, and even more
so if the behaviour depends on the toolchain version. So don't discard
.comment in order to maintain the existing behaviour in all cases.

Fixes: 83a092cf95f2 ("powerpc: Link warning for orphan sections")
