commit 93b2d3cf3733b4060d3623161551f51ea1ab5499 upstream.

The instruction code for xxlor that commit 0016a4cf5582 ("powerpc:
Emulate most Book I instructions in emulate_step()", 2010-06-15)
added is actually the code for xxlnor.  It is used in get_vsr()
and put_vsr() and the effect of the error is that if emulate_step
is used to emulate a VSX load or store from any register other
than vsr0, the bitwise complement of the correct value will be
loaded or stored.  This corrects the error.

My static checker complains that 0x00001800 &gt;&gt; 13 is zero. Looking at
the context, it seems like a copy and paste bug from the line below
and probably 0x3 &lt;&lt; 13 or 0x00006000 was intended.

commit 64e756c55aa46fc18fd53e8f3598b73b528d8637 upstream.

From POWER4 onwards, mfocrf() only places the specified CR field into
the destination GPR, and the rest of it is set to 0. The PowerPC AS
from version 3.0 now requires this behaviour.

The emulation code currently puts the entire CR into the destination GPR.
Fix it.

commit 2400fd822f467cb4c886c879d8ad99feac9cf319 upstream.

The workaround for the CELL timebase bug does not correctly mark cr0 as
being clobbered. This means GCC doesn't know that the asm block changes cr0 and
might leave the result of an unrelated comparison in cr0 across the block, which
we then trash, leading to basically random behaviour.

<title>powerpc/64: Initialise thread_info for emergency stacks</title>

commit 34f19ff1b5a0d11e46df479623d6936460105c9f upstream.

Emergency stacks have their thread_info mostly uninitialised, which in
particular means garbage preempt_count values.

Emergency stack code runs with interrupts disabled entirely, and is
used very rarely, so this has been unnoticed so far. It was found by a
proposed new powerpc watchdog that takes a soft-NMI directly from the
masked_interrupt handler and using the emergency stack. That crashed
at BUG_ON(in_nmi()) in nmi_enter(). preempt_count()s were found to be
garbage.

To fix this, zero the entire THREAD_SIZE allocation, and initialize
the thread_info.

commit a9f8553e935f26cb5447f67e280946b0923cd2dc upstream.

This fixes a crash when function_graph and jprobes are used together.
This is essentially commit 237d28db036e ("ftrace/jprobes/x86: Fix
conflict between jprobes and function graph tracing"), but for powerpc.

Jprobes breaks function_graph tracing since the jprobe hook needs to use
jprobe_return(), which never returns back to the hook, but instead to
the original jprobe'd function. The solution is to momentarily pause
function_graph tracing before invoking the jprobe hook and re-enable it
when returning back to the original jprobe'd function.

<title>powerpc/mm: Fix virt_addr_valid() etc. on 64-bit hash</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e41e53cd4fe331d0d1f06f8e4ed7e2cc63ee2c34 upstream.

virt_addr_valid() is supposed to tell you if it's OK to call virt_to_page() on
an address. What this means in practice is that it should only return true for
addresses in the linear mapping which are backed by a valid PFN.

We are failing to properly check that the address is in the linear mapping,
because virt_to_pfn() will return a valid looking PFN for more or less any
address. That bug is actually caused by __pa(), used in virt_to_pfn().

eg: __pa(0xc000000000010000) = 0x10000  # Good
    __pa(0xd000000000010000) = 0x10000  # Bad!
    __pa(0x0000000000010000) = 0x10000  # Bad!

This started happening after commit bdbc29c19b26 ("powerpc: Work around gcc
miscompilation of __pa() on 64-bit") (Aug 2013), where we changed the definition
of __pa() to work around a GCC bug. Prior to that we subtracted PAGE_OFFSET from
the value passed to __pa(), meaning __pa() of a 0xd or 0x0 address would give
you something bogus back.

Until we can verify if that GCC bug is no longer an issue, or come up with
another solution, this commit does the minimal fix to make virt_addr_valid()
work, by explicitly checking that the address is in the linear mapping region.

commit 8b8642af15ed14b9a7a34d3401afbcc274533e13 upstream.

Since commit 5093bb965a163 ("powerpc/QE: switch to the cpm_muram
implementation"), muram area is not part of immrbar mapping anymore
so immrbar_virt_to_phys() is not usable anymore.

Fixes: 5093bb965a163 ("powerpc/QE: switch to the cpm_muram implementation")

commit 48fe9e9488743eec9b7c1addd3c93f12f2123d54 upstream.

In the past, there was only one load-with-reservation instruction,
lwarx, and if a program attempted a lwarx on a misaligned address, it
would take an alignment interrupt and the kernel handler would emulate
it as though it was lwzx, which was not really correct, but benign since
it is loading the right amount of data, and the lwarx should be paired
with a stwcx. to the same address, which would also cause an alignment
interrupt which would result in a SIGBUS being delivered to the process.

We now have 5 different sizes of load-with-reservation instruction. Of
those, lharx and ldarx cause an immediate SIGBUS by luck since their
entries in aligninfo[] overlap instructions which were not fixed up, but
lqarx overlaps with lhz and will be emulated as such. lbarx can never
generate an alignment interrupt since it only operates on 1 byte.

To straighten this out and fix the lqarx case, this adds code to detect
the l[hwdq]arx instructions and return without fixing them up, resulting
in a SIGBUS being delivered to the process.
