commit 80f23935cadb1c654e81951f5a8b7ceae0acc1b4 upstream.

PowerPC's "cmp" instruction has four operands. Normally people write
"cmpw" or "cmpd" for the second cmp operand 0 or 1. But, frequently
people forget, and write "cmp" with just three operands.

With older binutils this is silently accepted as if this was "cmpw",
while often "cmpd" is wanted. With newer binutils GAS will complain
about this for 64-bit code. For 32-bit code it still silently assumes
"cmpw" is what is meant.

In this instance the code comes directly from ISA v2.07, including the
cmp, but cmpd is correct. Backport to stable so that new toolchains can
build old kernels.

<title>powerpc/64: Fix incorrect return value from __copy_tofrom_user</title>

commit 1a34439e5a0b2235e43f96816dbb15ee1154f656 upstream.

Debugging a data corruption issue with virtio-net/vhost-net led to
the observation that __copy_tofrom_user was occasionally returning
a value 16 larger than it should.  Since the return value from
__copy_tofrom_user is the number of bytes not copied, this means
that __copy_tofrom_user can occasionally return a value larger
than the number of bytes it was asked to copy.  In turn this can
cause higher-level copy functions such as copy_page_to_iter_iovec
to corrupt memory by copying data into the wrong memory locations.

It turns out that the failing case involves a fault on the store
at label 79, and at that point the first unmodified byte of the
destination is at R3 + 16.  Consequently the exception handler
for that store needs to add 16 to R3 before using it to work out
how many bytes were not copied, but in this one case it was not
adding the offset to R3.  To fix it, this moves the label 179 to
the point where we add 16 to R3.  I have checked manually all the
exception handlers for the loads and stores in this code and the
rest of them are correct (it would be excellent to have an
automated test of all the exception cases).

This bug has been present since this code was initially
committed in May 2002 to Linux version 2.5.20.

<title>powerpc/vdso64: Use double word compare on pointers</title>

commit 5045ea37377ce8cca6890d32b127ad6770e6dce5 upstream.

__kernel_get_syscall_map() and __kernel_clock_getres() use cmpli to
check if the passed in pointer is non zero. cmpli maps to a 32 bit
compare on binutils, so we ignore the top 32 bits.

A simple test case can be created by passing in a bogus pointer with
the bottom 32 bits clear. Using a clk_id that is handled by the VDSO,
then one that is handled by the kernel shows the problem:

  printf("%d\n", clock_getres(CLOCK_REALTIME, (void *)0x100000000));
  printf("%d\n", clock_getres(CLOCK_BOOTTIME, (void *)0x100000000));

And we get:

  0
  -1

The bigger issue is if we pass a valid pointer with the bottom 32 bits
clear, in this case we will return success but won't write any data
to the pointer.

I stumbled across this issue because the LLVM integrated assembler
doesn't accept cmpli with 3 arguments. Fix this by converting them to
cmpldi.

commit 11b7e154b132232535befe51c55db048069c8461 upstream.

When we merge two contiguous partitions whose signatures are marked
NVRAM_SIG_FREE, We need update prev's length and checksum, then write it
to nvram, not cur's. So lets fix this mistake now.

Also use memset instead of strncpy to set the partition's name. It's
more readable if we want to fill up with duplicate chars .

<title>powerpc/numa: Fix multiple bugs in memory_hotplug_max()</title>

commit 45b64ee64970dee9392229302efe1d1567e8d304 upstream.

memory_hotplug_max() uses hot_add_drconf_memory_max() to get maxmimum
addressable memory by referring to ibm,dyanamic-memory property. There
are three problems with the current approach:

1 hot_add_drconf_memory_max() assumes that ibm,dynamic-memory includes
  all the LMBs of the guest, but that is not true for PowerKVM which
  populates only DR LMBs (LMBs that can be hotplugged/removed) in that
  property.
2 hot_add_drconf_memory_max() multiplies lmb-size with lmb-count to arrive
  at the max possible address. Since ibm,dynamic-memory doesn't include
  RMA LMBs, the address thus obtained will be less than the actual max
  address. For example, if max possible memory size is 32G, with lmb-size
  of 256MB there can be 127 LMBs in ibm,dynamic-memory (1 LMB for RMA
  which won't be present here).  hot_add_drconf_memory_max() would then
  return the max addressable memory as 127 * 256MB = 31.75GB, the max
  address should have been 32G which is what ibm,lrdr-capacity shows.
3 In PowerKVM, there can be a gap between the end of boot time RAM and
  beginning of hotplug RAM area. So just multiplying lmb-count with
  lmb-size will not provide the correct max possible address for PowerKVM.

This patch fixes 1 by using ibm,lrdr-capacity property to return the max
addressable memory whenever the property is present. Then it fixes 2 &amp; 3
by fetching the address of the last LMB in ibm,dynamic-memory property.

commit aac55d7573c5d46ed9a62818d5d3e69dd2060105 upstream.

With Linux page size of 64K and hardware only supporting 4K HPTE, if we
use subpage protection, we always fail for the subpage 0 as shown
below (using the selftest subpage_prot test):

  520175565:  (4520111850): Failed at 0x3fffad4b0000 (p=13,sp=0,w=0), want=fault, got=pass !
  4520890210: (4520826495): Failed at 0x3fffad5b0000 (p=29,sp=0,w=0), want=fault, got=pass !

  4522258324: (4522194609): Failed at 0x3fffad7b0000 (p=61,sp=0,w=0), want=fault, got=pass !

This is because hash preload wrongly inserts the HPTE entry for subpage
0 without looking at the subpage protection information.

Fix it by teaching should_hash_preload() not to preload if we have
subpage protection configured for that range.

It appears this has been broken since it was introduced in 2008.

commit 8bbc9b7b001eaab8abf7e9e24edf1bb285c8d825 upstream.

Currently we have a check in hash_preload() against the psize, which is
only included when CONFIG_PPC_MM_SLICES is enabled. We want to expand
this check in a subsequent patch, so factor it out to allow that. As a
bonus it removes the #ifdef in the C code.

Unfortunately we can't put this in the existing CONFIG_PPC_MM_SLICES
block because it would require a forward declaration.

commit 6997e57d693b07289694239e52a10d2f02c3a46f upstream.

The REAL_LE feature entry in the ibm_pa_feature struct is missing an MMU
feature value, meaning all the remaining elements initialise the wrong
values.

This means instead of checking for byte 5, bit 0, we check for byte 0,
bit 0, and then we incorrectly set the CPU feature bit as well as MMU
feature bit 1 and CPU user feature bits 0 and 2 (5).

Checking byte 0 bit 0 (IBM numbering), means we're looking at the
"Memory Management Unit (MMU)" feature - ie. does the CPU have an MMU.
In practice that bit is set on all platforms which have the property.

This means we set CPU_FTR_REAL_LE always. In practice that seems not to
matter because all the modern cpus which have this property also
implement REAL_LE, and we've never needed to disable it.

We're also incorrectly setting MMU feature bit 1, which is:

  #define MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx		0x00000002

Luckily the only place that looks for MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx is in Book3E
code, which can't run on the same cpus as scan_features(). So this also
doesn't matter in practice.

Finally in the CPU user feature mask, we're setting bits 0 and 2. Bit 2
is not currently used, and bit 0 is:

  #define PPC_FEATURE_PPC_LE		0x00000001

Which says the CPU supports the old style "PPC Little Endian" mode.
Again this should be harmless in practice as no 64-bit CPUs implement
that mode.

Fix the code by adding the missing initialisation of the MMU feature.

Also add a comment marking CPU user feature bit 2 (0x4) as reserved. It
would be unsafe to start using it as old kernels incorrectly set it.

<title>powerpc: Make {cmp}xchg* and their atomic_ versions fully ordered</title>

commit 81d7a3294de7e9828310bbf986a67246b13fa01e upstream.

According to memory-barriers.txt, xchg*, cmpxchg* and their atomic_
versions all need to be fully ordered, however they are now just
RELEASE+ACQUIRE, which are not fully ordered.

So also replace PPC_RELEASE_BARRIER and PPC_ACQUIRE_BARRIER with
PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER and PPC_ATOMIC_EXIT_BARRIER in
__{cmp,}xchg_{u32,u64} respectively to guarantee fully ordered semantics
of atomic{,64}_{cmp,}xchg() and {cmp,}xchg(), as a complement of commit
b97021f85517 ("powerpc: Fix atomic_xxx_return barrier semantics")

This patch depends on patch "powerpc: Make value-returning atomics fully
ordered" for PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER definition.
