commit faf37c44a105f3608115785f17cbbf3500f8bc71 upstream.

Clear the PCR (Processor Compatibility Register) on boot to ensure we
are not running in a compatibility mode.

We've seen this cause problems when a crash (and kdump) occurs while
running compat mode guests. The kdump kernel then runs with the PCR
set and causes problems. The symptom in the kdump kernel (also seen in
petitboot after fast-reboot) is early userspace programs taking
sigills on newer instructions (seen in libc).

[ Upstream commit e1ebd0e5b9d0a10ba65e63a3514b6da8c6a5a819 ]

Current code in power_pmu_disable() does not clear the sampling
registers like Sampling Instruction Address Register (SIAR) and
Sampling Data Address Register (SDAR) after disabling the PMU. Since
these are userspace readable and could contain kernel addresses, add
code to explicitly clear the content of these registers.

Also add a "context synchronizing instruction" to enforce no further
updates to these registers as suggested by Power ISA v3.0B. From
section 9.4, on page 1108:

  "If an mtspr instruction is executed that changes the value of a
  Performance Monitor register other than SIAR, SDAR, and SIER, the
  change is not guaranteed to have taken effect until after a
  subsequent context synchronizing instruction has been executed (see
  Chapter 11. "Synchronization Requirements for Context Alterations"
  on page 1133)."

The current Branch History Rolling Buffer (BHRB) code does not check
for any privilege levels before updating the data from BHRB. This
could leak kernel addresses to userspace even when profiling only with
userspace privileges. Add proper checks to prevent it.

[ Upstream commit 0834d627fbea00c1444075eb3e448e1974da452d ]

In mpic_physmask() we loop over all CPUs up to 32, then get the hard
SMP processor id of that CPU.

Currently that's possibly walking off the end of the paca array, but
in a future patch we will change the paca array to be an array of
pointers, and in that case we will get a NULL for missing CPUs and
oops. eg:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x88888888888888b8
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000004e380
  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
  ...
  NIP .mpic_set_affinity+0x60/0x1a0
  LR  .irq_do_set_affinity+0x48/0x100

Fix it by checking the CPU is possible, this also fixes the code if
there are gaps in the CPU numbering which probably never happens on
mpic systems but who knows.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix VRMA initialization with 2MB or 1GB memory backing</title>

[ Upstream commit debd574f4195e205ba505b25e19b2b797f4bcd94 ]

The current code for initializing the VRMA (virtual real memory area)
for HPT guests requires the page size of the backing memory to be one
of 4kB, 64kB or 16MB.  With a radix host we have the possibility that
the backing memory page size can be 2MB or 1GB.  In these cases, if the
guest switches to HPT mode, KVM will not initialize the VRMA and the
guest will fail to run.

In fact it is not necessary that the VRMA page size is the same as the
backing memory page size; any VRMA page size less than or equal to the
backing memory page size is acceptable.  Therefore we now choose the
largest page size out of the set {4k, 64k, 16M} which is not larger
than the backing memory page size.

[ Upstream commit 083b20907185b076f21c265b30fe5b5f24c03d8c ]

I am using SECCOMP to filter syscalls on a ppc32 platform, and noticed
that the JIT compiler was failing on the BPF even though the
interpreter was working fine.

The issue was that the compiler was missing one of the instructions
used by SECCOMP, so here is a patch to enable JIT for that
instruction.

<title>powerpc/numa: Ensure nodes initialized for hotplug</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit ea05ba7c559c8e5a5946c3a94a2a266e9a6680a6 ]

This patch fixes some problems encountered at runtime with
configurations that support memory-less nodes, or that hot-add CPUs
into nodes that are memoryless during system execution after boot. The
problems of interest include:

* Nodes known to powerpc to be memoryless at boot, but to have CPUs in
  them are allowed to be 'possible' and 'online'. Memory allocations
  for those nodes are taken from another node that does have memory
  until and if memory is hot-added to the node.

* Nodes which have no resources assigned at boot, but which may still
  be referenced subsequently by affinity or associativity attributes,
  are kept in the list of 'possible' nodes for powerpc. Hot-add of
  memory or CPUs to the system can reference these nodes and bring
  them online instead of redirecting the references to one of the set
  of nodes known to have memory at boot.

Note that this software operates under the context of CPU hotplug. We
are not doing memory hotplug in this code, but rather updating the
kernel's CPU topology (i.e. arch_update_cpu_topology /
numa_update_cpu_topology). We are initializing a node that may be used
by CPUs or memory before it can be referenced as invalid by a CPU
hotplug operation. CPU hotplug operations are protected by a range of
APIs including cpu_maps_update_begin/cpu_maps_update_done,
cpus_read/write_lock / cpus_read/write_unlock, device locks, and more.
Memory hotplug operations, including try_online_node, are protected by
mem_hotplug_begin/mem_hotplug_done, device locks, and more. In the
case of CPUs being hot-added to a previously memoryless node, the
try_online_node operation occurs wholly within the CPU locks with no
overlap. Using HMC hot-add/hot-remove operations, we have been able to
add and remove CPUs to any possible node without failures. HMC
operations involve a degree self-serialization, though.

[ Upstream commit a346137e9142b039fd13af2e59696e3d40c487ef ]

On powerpc systems which allow 'hot-add' of CPU or memory resources,
it may occur that the new resources are to be inserted into nodes that
were not used for these resources at bootup. In the kernel, any node
that is used must be defined and initialized. These empty nodes may
occur when,

* Dedicated vs. shared resources. Shared resources require information
  such as the VPHN hcall for CPU assignment to nodes. Associativity
  decisions made based on dedicated resource rules, such as
  associativity properties in the device tree, may vary from decisions
  made using the values returned by the VPHN hcall.

* memoryless nodes at boot. Nodes need to be defined as 'possible' at
  boot for operation with other code modules. Previously, the powerpc
  code would limit the set of possible nodes to those which have
  memory assigned at boot, and were thus online. Subsequent add/remove
  of CPUs or memory would only work with this subset of possible
  nodes.

* memoryless nodes with CPUs at boot. Due to the previous restriction
  on nodes, nodes that had CPUs but no memory were being collapsed
  into other nodes that did have memory at boot. In practice this
  meant that the node assignment presented by the runtime kernel
  differed from the affinity and associativity attributes presented by
  the device tree or VPHN hcalls. Nodes that might be known to the
  pHyp were not 'possible' in the runtime kernel because they did not
  have memory at boot.

This patch ensures that sufficient nodes are defined to support
configuration requirements after boot, as well as at boot. This patch
set fixes a couple of problems.

* Nodes known to powerpc to be memoryless at boot, but to have CPUs in
  them are allowed to be 'possible' and 'online'. Memory allocations
  for those nodes are taken from another node that does have memory
  until and if memory is hot-added to the node. * Nodes which have no
  resources assigned at boot, but which may still be referenced
  subsequently by affinity or associativity attributes, are kept in
  the list of 'possible' nodes for powerpc. Hot-add of memory or CPUs
  to the system can reference these nodes and bring them online
  instead of redirecting to one of the set of nodes that were known to
  have memory at boot.

This patch extracts the value of the lowest domain level (number of
allocable resources) from the device tree property
"ibm,max-associativity-domains" to use as the maximum number of nodes
to setup as possibly available in the system. This new setting will
override the instruction:

    nodes_and(node_possible_map, node_possible_map, node_online_map);

presently seen in the function arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:initmem_init().

If the "ibm,max-associativity-domains" property is not present at
boot, no operation will be performed to define or enable additional
nodes, or enable the above 'nodes_and()'.

commit c1d2a31397ec51f0370f6bd17b19b39152c263cb upstream.

Similarly to opal_event_shutdown, opal_nvram_write can be called in
the crash path with irqs disabled. Special case the delay to avoid
sleeping in invalid context.
