[ Upstream commit 2ffb26afa64261139e608bf087a0c1fe24d76d4d ]

perf mem report aborts as below sometimes (during some corner
case) in powerpc:

   # ./perf mem report 1&gt;out
   *** stack smashing detected ***: terminated
   Aborted (core dumped)

The backtrace is as below:
   __pthread_kill_implementation ()
   raise ()
   abort ()
   __libc_message
   __fortify_fail
   __stack_chk_fail
   hist_entry.lvl_snprintf
   __sort__hpp_entry
   __hist_entry__snprintf
   hists.fprintf
   cmd_report
   cmd_mem

Snippet of code which triggers the issue
from tools/perf/util/sort.c

   static int hist_entry__lvl_snprintf(struct hist_entry *he, char *bf,
                                    size_t size, unsigned int width)
   {
        char out[64];

        perf_mem__lvl_scnprintf(out, sizeof(out), he-&gt;mem_info);
        return repsep_snprintf(bf, size, "%-*s", width, out);
   }

The value of "out" is filled from perf_mem_data_src value.
Debugging this further showed that for some corner cases, the
value of "data_src" was pointing to wrong value. This resulted
in bigger size of string and causing stack check fail.

The perf mem data source values are captured in the sample via
isa207_get_mem_data_src function. The initial check is to fetch
the type of sampled instruction. If the type of instruction is
not valid (not a load/store instruction), the function returns.

Since 'commit e16fd7f2cb1a ("perf: Use sample_flags for data_src")',
data_src field is not initialized by the perf_sample_data_init()
function. If the PMU driver doesn't set the data_src value to zero if
type is not valid, this will result in uninitailised value for data_src.
The uninitailised value of data_src resulted in stack check fail
followed by abort for "perf mem report".

When requesting for data source information in the sample, the
instruction type is expected to be load or store instruction.
In ISA v3.0, due to hardware limitation, there are corner cases
where the instruction type other than load or store is observed.
In ISA v3.0 and before values "0" and "7" are considered reserved.
In ISA v3.1, value "7" has been used to indicate "larx/stcx".
Drop the sample if instruction type has reserved values for this
field with a ISA version check. Initialize data_src to zero in
isa207_get_mem_data_src if the instruction type is not load/store.

[ Upstream commit 67dfc11982f7e3c37f0977e74671da2391b29181 ]

Starting with PAPR level 2.13, platform supports placing PHB in limited
address mode. Devices that support DMA masks less that 64-bit but greater
than 32-bits are placed in limited address mode. In this mode, the
starting DMA address returned by the DDW is 4GB.

When the device driver calls dma_supported, with mask less then 64-bit, the
PowerPC IOMMU driver places PHB in the Limited Addressing Mode before
creating DDW.

<title>powerpc/pseries/iommu: memory notifier incorrectly adds TCEs for pmemory</title>

[ Upstream commit 6aa989ab2bd0d37540c812b4270006ff794662e7 ]

iommu_mem_notifier() is invoked when RAM is dynamically added/removed. This
notifier call is responsible to add/remove TCEs from the Dynamic DMA Window
(DDW) when TCEs are pre-mapped. TCEs are pre-mapped only for RAM and not
for persistent memory (pmemory). For DMA buffers in pmemory, TCEs are
dynamically mapped when the device driver instructs to do so.

The issue is 'daxctl' command is capable of adding pmemory as "System RAM"
after LPAR boot. The command to do so is -

daxctl reconfigure-device --mode=system-ram dax0.0 --force

This will dynamically add pmemory range to LPAR RAM eventually invoking
iommu_mem_notifier(). The address range of pmemory is way beyond the Max
RAM that the LPAR can have. Which means, this range is beyond the DDW
created for the device, at device initialization time.

As a result when TCEs are pre-mapped for the pmemory range, by
iommu_mem_notifier(), PHYP HCALL returns H_PARAMETER. This failed the
command, daxctl, to add pmemory as RAM.

The solution is to not pre-map TCEs for pmemory.

[ Upstream commit b2accfe7ca5bc9f9af28e603b79bdd5ad8df5c0b ]

Commit 579aee9fc594 ("powerpc: suppress some linker warnings in recent linker versions")
enabled support to add linker option "--no-warn-rwx-segments",
if the version is greater than 2.39. Similar build warning were
reported recently from linker version 2.35.2.

ld: warning: arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.epapr has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
ld: warning: arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pseries has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions

Fix the warning by checking for "--no-warn-rwx-segments"
option support in linker to enable it, instead of checking
for the version range.

[ Upstream commit b2accfe7ca5bc9f9af28e603b79bdd5ad8df5c0b ]

Commit 579aee9fc594 ("powerpc: suppress some linker warnings in recent linker versions")
enabled support to add linker option "--no-warn-rwx-segments",
if the version is greater than 2.39. Similar build warning were
reported recently from linker version 2.35.2.

ld: warning: arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.epapr has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
ld: warning: arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pseries has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions

Fix the warning by checking for "--no-warn-rwx-segments"
option support in linker to enable it, instead of checking
for the version range.

[ Upstream commit 534f5a8ba27863141e29766467a3e1f61bcb47ac ]

get_stubs_size assumes that there must always be at least one patchable
function entry, which is not always the case (modules that export data
but no code), otherwise it returns -ENOEXEC and thus the section header
sh_size is set to that value. During module_memory_alloc() the size is
passed to execmem_alloc() after being page-aligned and thus set to zero
which will cause it to fail the allocation (and thus module loading) as
__vmalloc_node_range() checks for zero-sized allocs and returns null:

[  115.466896] module_64: cast_common: doesn't contain __patchable_function_entries.

[ Upstream commit 9cf7e13fecbab0894f6986fc6986ab2eba8de52e ]

A vmemmap altmap is a device-provided region used to provide
backing storage for struct pages. For each namespace, the altmap
should belong to that same namespace. If the namespaces are
created unaligned, there is a chance that the section vmemmap
start address could also be unaligned. If the section vmemmap
start address is unaligned, the altmap page allocated from the
current namespace might be used by the previous namespace also.
During the free operation, since the altmap is shared between two
namespaces, the previous namespace may detect that the page does
not belong to its altmap and incorrectly assume that the page is a
normal page. It then attempts to free the normal page, which leads
to a kernel crash.

Another issue is that if there is no altmap, a PMD-sized vmemmap
page will be allocated from RAM, regardless of the alignment of
the section start address. If the section start address is not
aligned to the PMD size, a VM_BUG_ON will be triggered when
setting the PMD-sized page to page table.

In this patch, we are aligning the section vmemmap start address
to PAGE_SIZE. After alignment, the start address will not be
part of the current namespace, and a normal page will be allocated
for the vmemmap mapping of the current section. For the remaining
sections, altmaps will be allocated. During the free operation,
the normal page will be correctly freed.

In the same way, a PMD_SIZE vmemmap page will be allocated only if
the section start address is PMD_SIZE-aligned; otherwise, it will
fall back to a PAGE-sized vmemmap allocation.

 ---------------------------------------------------------
| Altmap| Altmap | .....|Altmap| Altmap | ...........
|  NS1  |  NS1   |      | NS2  |  NS2   |

In the above scenario, NS1 and NS2 are two namespaces. The vmemmap
for NS1 comes from Altmap NS1, which belongs to NS1, and the
vmemmap for NS2 comes from Altmap NS2, which belongs to NS2.

The vmemmap start for NS2 is not aligned, so Altmap NS2 is shared
by both NS1 and NS2. During the free operation in NS1, Altmap NS2
is not part of NS1's altmap, causing it to attempt to free an
invalid page.

With this patch

|  NS1  |  NS1   |      |  Page  |  NS2   |  NS2   |

If the vmemmap start for NS2 is not aligned then we are allocating
a normal page. NS1 and NS2 vmemmap will be freed correctly.

commit 17ec3e71ba797cdb62164fea9532c81b60f47167 upstream.

The ARCH_MAY_HAVE patch missed arm64, mips and s390.  But it may
also lead to arch options being enabled but ineffective because
of modular/built-in conflicts.

As the primary user of all these options wireguard is selecting
the arch options anyway, make the same selections at the lib/crypto
option level and hide the arch options from the user.

Instead of selecting them centrally from lib/crypto, simply set
the default of each arch option as suggested by Eric Biggers.

Change the Crypto API generic algorithms to select the top-level
lib/crypto options instead of the generic one as otherwise there
is no way to enable the arch options (Eric Biggers).  Introduce a
set of INTERNAL options to work around dependency cycles on the
CONFIG_CRYPTO symbol.

commit 17ec3e71ba797cdb62164fea9532c81b60f47167 upstream.

The ARCH_MAY_HAVE patch missed arm64, mips and s390.  But it may
also lead to arch options being enabled but ineffective because
of modular/built-in conflicts.

As the primary user of all these options wireguard is selecting
the arch options anyway, make the same selections at the lib/crypto
option level and hide the arch options from the user.

Instead of selecting them centrally from lib/crypto, simply set
the default of each arch option as suggested by Eric Biggers.

Change the Crypto API generic algorithms to select the top-level
lib/crypto options instead of the generic one as otherwise there
is no way to enable the arch options (Eric Biggers).  Introduce a
set of INTERNAL options to work around dependency cycles on the
CONFIG_CRYPTO symbol.
