Commit 41a506ef71eb ("powerpc/ftrace: Create a dummy stackframe to fix
stack unwind") added use of a new stack frame on ftrace entry to fix
stack unwind. However, the commit missed updating the offset used while
tearing down the ftrace stack when ftrace is disabled. Fix the same.

In addition, the commit missed saving the correct stack pointer in
pt_regs. Update the same.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix KVM_RUN clobbering FP/VEC user registers</title>

Before running a guest, the host process (e.g., QEMU) FP/VEC registers
are saved if they were being used, similarly to when the kernel uses FP
registers. The guest values are then loaded into regs, and the host
process registers will be restored lazily when it uses FP/VEC.

KVM HV has a bug here: the host process registers do get saved, but the
user MSR bits remain enabled, which indicates the registers are valid
for the process. After they are clobbered by running the guest, this
valid indication causes the host process to take on the FP/VEC register
values of the guest.

<title>powerpc: Don't clobber f0/vs0 during fp|altivec register save</title>

<id>5e1d824f9a283cbf90f25241b66d1f69adb3835b</id>
<content type='text'>
During floating point and vector save to thread data f0/vs0 are
clobbered by the FPSCR/VSCR store routine. This has been obvserved to
lead to userspace register corruption and application data corruption
with io-uring.

Fix it by restoring f0/vs0 after FPSCR/VSCR store has completed for
all the FP, altivec, VMX register save paths.

Tested under QEMU in kvm mode, running on a Talos II workstation with
dual POWER9 DD2.2 CPUs.

Additional detail (mpe):

Typically save_fpu() is called from __giveup_fpu() which saves the FP
regs and also *turns off FP* in the tasks MSR, meaning the kernel will
reload the FP regs from the thread struct before letting the task use FP
again. So in that case save_fpu() is free to clobber f0 because the FP
regs no longer hold live values for the task.

There is another case though, which is the path via:
  sys_clone()
    ...
    copy_process()
      dup_task_struct()
        arch_dup_task_struct()
          flush_all_to_thread()
            save_all()

That path saves the FP regs but leaves them live. That's meant as an
optimisation for a process that's using FP/VSX and then calls fork(),
leaving the regs live means the parent process doesn't have to take a
fault after the fork to get its FP regs back. The optimisation was added
in commit 8792468da5e1 ("powerpc: Add the ability to save FPU without
giving it up").

That path does clobber f0, but f0 is volatile across function calls,
and typically programs reach copy_process() from userspace via a syscall
wrapper function. So in normal usage f0 being clobbered across a
syscall doesn't cause visible data corruption.

But there is now a new path, because io-uring can call copy_process()
via create_io_thread() from the signal handling path. That's OK if the
signal is handled as part of syscall return, but it's not OK if the
signal is handled due to some other interrupt.

That path is:

interrupt_return_srr_user()
  interrupt_exit_user_prepare()
    interrupt_exit_user_prepare_main()
      do_notify_resume()
        get_signal()
          task_work_run()
            create_worker_cb()
              create_io_worker()
                copy_process()
                  dup_task_struct()
                    arch_dup_task_struct()
                      flush_all_to_thread()
                        save_all()
                          if (tsk-&gt;thread.regs-&gt;msr &amp; MSR_FP)
                            save_fpu()
                            # f0 is clobbered and potentially live in userspace

Note the above discussion applies equally to save_altivec().

<content type='text'>
Remove 'file' parameter from struct machdep_calls.phys_mem_access_prot
and its implementation in pci_phys_mem_access_prot(). The file is not
used on PowerPC. By removing it, a later patch can simplify fbdev's
mmap code, which uses phys_mem_access_prot() on PowerPC.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Remove eventfs_file descriptor

   This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs
   create its files dynamically.

   In 6.6 the first part was added, and that maintained a one to one
   mapping between eventfs meta descriptors and the directories and file
   inodes and dentries that were dynamically created. The directories
   were represented by a eventfs_inode and the files were represented by
   a eventfs_file.

   In v6.7 the eventfs_file is removed. As all events have the same
   directory make up (sched_switch has an "enable", "id", "format", etc
   files), the handing of what files are underneath each leaf eventfs
   directory is moved back to the tracing subsystem via a callback.

   When an event is added to the eventfs, it registers an array of
   evenfs_entry's. These hold the names of the files and the callbacks
   to call when the file is referenced. The callback gets the name so
   that the same callback may be used by multiple files. The callback
   then supplies the filesystem_operations structure needed to create
   this file.

   This has brought the memory footprint of creating multiple eventfs
   instances down by 2 megs each!

 - User events now has persistent events that are not associated to a
   single processes. These are privileged events that hang around even
   if no process is attached to them

 - Clean up of seq_buf

   There's talk about using seq_buf more to replace strscpy() and
   friends. But this also requires some minor modifications of seq_buf
   to be able to do this

 - Expand instance ring buffers individually

   Currently if boot up creates an instance, and a trace event is
   enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the
   top level ring buffer are expanded (1.4 MB per CPU). This wastes
   memory as this happens when nothing is using the top level instance

 - Other minor clean ups and fixes

  seq_buf: Export seq_buf_puts()
