<title>KVM: PPC: Enable CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO on pSeries KVM guests</title>

commit b4392813bbc3b05fc01a33c64d8b8c6c62c32cfa upstream.

Currently on book3s-hv, the capability KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO is only
available for KVM Guests running on PowerNV and not for the KVM guests
running on pSeries hypervisors. This prevents a pSeries L2 guest from
leveraging the in-kernel acceleration for H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and
H_STUFF_TCE hcalls that results in slow startup times for large memory
guests.

Support for VFIO on pSeries was restored in commit f431a8cde7f1
("powerpc/iommu: Reimplement the iommu_table_group_ops for pSeries"),
making it possible to re-enable this capability on pSeries hosts.

This change enables KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO for nested PAPR guests on
pSeries, while maintaining the existing behavior on PowerNV. Booting an
L2 guest with 128GB of memory shows an average 11% improvement in
startup time.

[ Upstream commit c134deabf4784e155d360744d4a6a835b9de4dd4 ]

prior to "[POWERPC] spufs: Fix gang destroy leaks" we used to have
a problem with gang lifetimes - creation of a gang returns opened
gang directory, which normally gets removed when that gets closed,
but if somebody has created a context belonging to that gang and
kept it alive until the gang got closed, removal failed and we
ended up with a leak.

Unfortunately, it had been fixed the wrong way.  Dentry of gang
directory was no longer pinned, and rmdir on close was gone.
One problem was that failure of open kept calling simple_rmdir()
as cleanup, which meant an unbalanced dput().  Another bug was
in the success case - gang creation incremented link count on
root directory, but that was no longer undone when gang got
destroyed.

Fix consists of
	* reverting the commit in question
	* adding a counter to gang, protected by -&gt;i_rwsem
of gang directory inode.
	* having it set to 1 at creation time, dropped
in both spufs_dir_close() and spufs_gang_close() and bumped
in spufs_create_context(), provided that it's not 0.
	* using simple_recursive_removal() to take the gang
directory out when counter reaches zero.

It's called from spufs_fill_dir(), and caller of that will do
spufs_rmdir() in case of failure.  That does remove everything
we'd managed to create, but... the problem dentry is still
negative.  IOW, it needs to be explicitly dropped.

[ Upstream commit 861efb8a48ee8b73ae4e8817509cd4e82fd52bc4 ]

In relocate_32.S, function clear_utlb_entry() goes into real mode. To
do so, it has to calculate the physical address based on the virtual
address. To get the virtual address it uses 'bl' which is problematic
(see commit c974809a26a1 ("powerpc/vdso: Avoid link stack corruption
in __get_datapage()")). In addition, the calculation is done on a
wrong address because 'bl' loads LR with the address of the following
instruction, not the address of the target. So when the target is not
the instruction following the 'bl' instruction, it may lead to
unexpected behaviour.

Fix it by re-writing the code so that is goes via another path which
is based 'bcl 20,31,.+4' which is the right instruction to use for that.

[ Upstream commit 1e4d73d06c98f5a1af4f7591cf7c2c4eee5b94fa ]

The following build warning has been reported:

  arch/powerpc/crypto/ghashp8-ppc.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x22c: unannotated intra-function call

This happens due to commit bb7f054f4de2 ("objtool/powerpc: Add support
for decoding all types of uncond branches")

Disassembly of arch/powerpc/crypto/ghashp8-ppc.o shows:

 arch/powerpc/crypto/ghashp8-ppc.o:     file format elf64-powerpcle

 Disassembly of section .text:

 ...

It corresponds to the following code in ghashp8-ppc.o :

 _GLOBAL(gcm_ghash_p8)
    lis    0,0xfff8
 ...
    blr
 .long    0
 .byte    0,12,0x14,0,0,0,4,0
 .long    0
 .size    gcm_ghash_p8,.-gcm_ghash_p8

 .byte 71,72,65,83,72,32,102,111,114,32,80,111,119,101,114,73,83,65,32,50,46,48,55,44,32,67,82,89,80,84,79,71,65,77,83,32,98,121,32,60,97,112,112,114,111,64,111,112,101,110,115,115,108,46,111,114,103,62,0
 .align    2
 .align    2

In fact this is raw data that is after the function end and that is
not text so shouldn't be disassembled as text. But ghashp8-ppc.S is
generated by a perl script and should have been marked as
OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD.

Now that 'bla' is understood as a call instruction, that raw data
is mis-interpreted as an infra-function call.

Mark ghashp8-ppc.o as a OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD to avoid this
warning.

[ Upstream commit 1e4d73d06c98f5a1af4f7591cf7c2c4eee5b94fa ]

The following build warning has been reported:

  arch/powerpc/crypto/ghashp8-ppc.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x22c: unannotated intra-function call

This happens due to commit bb7f054f4de2 ("objtool/powerpc: Add support
for decoding all types of uncond branches")

Disassembly of arch/powerpc/crypto/ghashp8-ppc.o shows:

 arch/powerpc/crypto/ghashp8-ppc.o:     file format elf64-powerpcle

 Disassembly of section .text:

It corresponds to the following code in ghashp8-ppc.o :

 _GLOBAL(gcm_ghash_p8)
    lis    0,0xfff8
 ...
    blr
 .long    0
 .byte    0,12,0x14,0,0,0,4,0

 .byte 71,72,65,83,72,32,102,111,114,32,80,111,119,101,114,73,83,65,32,50,46,48,55,44,32,67,82,89,80,84,79,71,65,77,83,32,98,121,32,60,97,112,112,114,111,64,111,112,101,110,115,115,108,46,111,114,103,62,0
 .align    2
 .align    2

In fact this is raw data that is after the function end and that is
not text so shouldn't be disassembled as text. But ghashp8-ppc.S is
generated by a perl script and should have been marked as
OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD.

Now that 'bla' is understood as a call instruction, that raw data
is mis-interpreted as an infra-function call.

Mark ghashp8-ppc.o as a OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD to avoid this
warning.

[ Upstream commit ff99d5b6a246715f2257123cdf6c4a29cb33aa78 ]

Commit 176cda0619b6 ("powerpc/perf: Add perf interface to expose vpa
counters") introduced 'vpa_pmu' to expose Book3s-HV nested APIv2 provided
L1&lt;-&gt;L2 context switch latency counters to L1 user-space via
perf-events. However the newly introduced PMU named 'vpa_pmu' doesn't
assign ownership of the PMU to the module 'vpa_pmu'. Consequently the
module 'vpa_pmu' can be unloaded while one of the perf-events are still
active, which can lead to kernel oops and panic of the form below on a
Pseries-LPAR:

BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000058

 Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

Fix this by adding the module ownership to 'vpa_pmu' so that the module
'vpa_pmu' is ref-counted and prevented from being unloaded when perf-events
are initialized.

<title>mm: hugetlb: Add huge page size param to huge_ptep_get_and_clear()</title>

commit 02410ac72ac3707936c07ede66e94360d0d65319 upstream.

In order to fix a bug, arm64 needs to be told the size of the huge page
for which the huge_pte is being cleared in huge_ptep_get_and_clear().
Provide for this by adding an `unsigned long sz` parameter to the
function. This follows the same pattern as huge_pte_clear() and
set_huge_pte_at().

This commit makes the required interface modifications to the core mm as
well as all arches that implement this function (arm64, loongarch, mips,
parisc, powerpc, riscv, s390, sparc). The actual arm64 bug will be fixed
in a separate commit.

  The buggy address belongs to the virtual mapping at
   [f1000000, f1002000) created by:

  The buggy address belongs to the physical page:

  raw: 00000000
  page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected

  Memory state around the buggy address:
   f0ffff00: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

   f1000100: f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8
  ==================================================================

f8 corresponds to KASAN_VMALLOC_INVALID which means the area is not
initialised hence not supposed to be used yet.

Powerpc text patching infrastructure allocates a virtual memory area
using get_vm_area() and flags it as VM_ALLOC. But that flag is meant
to be used for vmalloc() and vmalloc() allocated memory is not
supposed to be used before a call to __vmalloc_node_range() which is
never called for that area.

That went undetected until commit e4137f08816b ("mm, kasan, kmsan:
instrument copy_from/to_kernel_nofault")

The area allocated by text_area_cpu_up() is not vmalloc memory, it is
mapped directly on demand when needed by map_kernel_page(). There is
no VM flag corresponding to such usage, so just pass no flag. That way
the area will be unpoisonned and usable immediately.

  The buggy address belongs to the virtual mapping at
   [f1000000, f1002000) created by:
   text_area_cpu_up+0x20/0x190

  The buggy address belongs to the physical page:

  ==================================================================

f8 corresponds to KASAN_VMALLOC_INVALID which means the area is not
initialised hence not supposed to be used yet.

Powerpc text patching infrastructure allocates a virtual memory area
using get_vm_area() and flags it as VM_ALLOC. But that flag is meant
to be used for vmalloc() and vmalloc() allocated memory is not
supposed to be used before a call to __vmalloc_node_range() which is
never called for that area.

That went undetected until commit e4137f08816b ("mm, kasan, kmsan:
instrument copy_from/to_kernel_nofault")

The area allocated by text_area_cpu_up() is not vmalloc memory, it is
mapped directly on demand when needed by map_kernel_page(). There is
no VM flag corresponding to such usage, so just pass no flag. That way
the area will be unpoisonned and usable immediately.
