commit 437ef802e0adc9f162a95213a3488e8646e5fc03 upstream.

There are 2 problems with it:
  1. "&lt;" vs expected "&lt;&lt;"
  2. the shift number is an IOMMU page number mask, not an address
  mask as the IOMMU page shift is missing.

This did not hit us before f1565c24b596 ("powerpc: use the generic
dma_ops_bypass mode") because we had additional code to handle bypass
mask so this chunk (almost?) never executed.However there were
reports that aacraid does not work with "iommu=nobypass".

After f1565c24b596, aacraid (and probably others which call
dma_get_required_mask() before setting the mask) was unable to enable
64bit DMA and fall back to using IOMMU which was known not to work,
one of the problems is double free of an IOMMU page.

This fixes DMA for aacraid, both with and without "iommu=nobypass" in
the kernel command line. Verified with "stress-ng -d 4".

<title>vgacon: remove software scrollback support</title>

commit 973c096f6a85e5b5f2a295126ba6928d9a6afd45 upstream.

Yunhai Zhang recently fixed a VGA software scrollback bug in commit
ebfdfeeae8c0 ("vgacon: Fix for missing check in scrollback handling"),
but that then made people look more closely at some of this code, and
there were more problems on the vgacon side, but also the fbcon software
scrollback.

We don't really have anybody who maintains this code - probably because
nobody actually _uses_ it any more.  Sure, people still use both VGA and
the framebuffer consoles, but they are no longer the main user
interfaces to the kernel, and haven't been for decades, so these kinds
of extra features end up bitrotting and not really being used.

So rather than try to maintain a likely unused set of code, I'll just
aggressively remove it, and see if anybody even notices.  Maybe there
are people who haven't jumped on the whole GUI badnwagon yet, and think
it's just a fad.  And maybe those people use the scrollback code.

If that turns out to be the case, we can resurrect this again, once
we've found the sucker^Wmaintainer for it who actually uses it.

[ Upstream commit b648a5132ca3237a0f1ce5d871fff342b0efcf8a ]

The kernel test robot pointed out a slightly different error message
after recent commit 5456ffdee666 ("powerpc/spufs: simplify spufs core
dumping") to spufs for a configuration that never worked:

Add a Kconfig dependency to prevent this from happening again.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Do not initiate shutdown when system is running on UPS</title>

commit 90a9b102eddf6a3f987d15f4454e26a2532c1c98 upstream.

As per PAPR we have to look for both EPOW sensor value and event
modifier to identify the type of event and take appropriate action.

In LoPAPR v1.1 section 10.2.2 includes table 136 "EPOW Action Codes":

  SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN 3

  The system must be shut down. An EPOW-aware OS logs the EPOW error
  log information, then schedules the system to be shut down to begin
  after an OS defined delay internal (default is 10 minutes.)

Then in section 10.3.2.2.8 there is table 146 "Platform Event Log
Format, Version 6, EPOW Section", which includes the "EPOW Event
Modifier":

  For EPOW sensor value = 3
  0x01 = Normal system shutdown with no additional delay
  0x02 = Loss of utility power, system is running on UPS/Battery
  0x03 = Loss of system critical functions, system should be shutdown
  0x04 = Ambient temperature too high
  All other values = reserved

We have a user space tool (rtas_errd) on LPAR to monitor for
EPOW_SHUTDOWN_ON_UPS. Once it gets an event it initiates shutdown
after predefined time. It also starts monitoring for any new EPOW
events. If it receives "Power restored" event before predefined time
it will cancel the shutdown. Otherwise after predefined time it will
shutdown the system.

Commit 79872e35469b ("powerpc/pseries: All events of
EPOW_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN must initiate shutdown") changed our handling of
the "on UPS/Battery" case, to immediately shutdown the system. This
breaks existing setups that rely on the userspace tool to delay
shutdown and let the system run on the UPS.

<title>powerpc: Allow 4224 bytes of stack expansion for the signal frame</title>

commit 63dee5df43a31f3844efabc58972f0a206ca4534 upstream.

We have powerpc specific logic in our page fault handling to decide if
an access to an unmapped address below the stack pointer should expand
the stack VMA.

The code was originally added in 2004 "ported from 2.4". The rough
logic is that the stack is allowed to grow to 1MB with no extra
checking. Over 1MB the access must be within 2048 bytes of the stack
pointer, or be from a user instruction that updates the stack pointer.

The 2048 byte allowance below the stack pointer is there to cover the
288 byte "red zone" as well as the "about 1.5kB" needed by the signal
delivery code.

Unfortunately since then the signal frame has expanded, and is now
4224 bytes on 64-bit kernels with transactional memory enabled. This
means if a process has consumed more than 1MB of stack, and its stack
pointer lies less than 4224 bytes from the next page boundary, signal
delivery will fault when trying to expand the stack and the process
will see a SEGV.

The total size of the signal frame is the size of struct rt_sigframe
(which includes the red zone) plus __SIGNAL_FRAMESIZE (128 bytes on
64-bit).

The 2048 byte allowance was correct until 2008 as the signal frame
was:

struct rt_sigframe {
        struct ucontext    uc;                           /*     0  1440 */
        /* --- cacheline 11 boundary (1408 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
        long unsigned int          _unused[2];           /*  1440    16 */
        unsigned int               tramp[6];             /*  1456    24 */
        struct siginfo *           pinfo;                /*  1480     8 */
        void *                     puc;                  /*  1488     8 */
        struct siginfo     info;                         /*  1496   128 */
        /* --- cacheline 12 boundary (1536 bytes) was 88 bytes ago --- */
        char                       abigap[288];          /*  1624   288 */

        /* size: 1920, cachelines: 15, members: 7 */
        /* padding: 8 */
};

1920 + 128 = 2048

Then in commit ce48b2100785 ("powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore,
ptrace and signal support") (Jul 2008) the signal frame expanded to
2304 bytes:

struct rt_sigframe {
        struct ucontext    uc;                           /*     0  1696 */	&lt;--
        /* --- cacheline 13 boundary (1664 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
        long unsigned int          _unused[2];           /*  1696    16 */
        unsigned int               tramp[6];             /*  1712    24 */
        struct siginfo *           pinfo;                /*  1736     8 */
        void *                     puc;                  /*  1744     8 */
        struct siginfo     info;                         /*  1752   128 */
        /* --- cacheline 14 boundary (1792 bytes) was 88 bytes ago --- */
        char                       abigap[288];          /*  1880   288 */

        /* size: 2176, cachelines: 17, members: 7 */
        /* padding: 8 */
};

2176 + 128 = 2304

At this point we should have been exposed to the bug, though as far as
I know it was never reported. I no longer have a system old enough to
easily test on.

Then in 2010 commit 320b2b8de126 ("mm: keep a guard page below a
grow-down stack segment") caused our stack expansion code to never
trigger, as there was always a VMA found for a write up to PAGE_SIZE
below r1.

That meant the bug was hidden as we continued to expand the signal
frame in commit 2b0a576d15e0 ("powerpc: Add new transactional memory
state to the signal context") (Feb 2013):

struct rt_sigframe {
        struct ucontext    uc;                           /*     0  1696 */
        /* --- cacheline 13 boundary (1664 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
        struct ucontext    uc_transact;                  /*  1696  1696 */	&lt;--
        /* --- cacheline 26 boundary (3328 bytes) was 64 bytes ago --- */
        long unsigned int          _unused[2];           /*  3392    16 */
        unsigned int               tramp[6];             /*  3408    24 */
        struct siginfo *           pinfo;                /*  3432     8 */
        void *                     puc;                  /*  3440     8 */
        struct siginfo     info;                         /*  3448   128 */

        /* padding: 8 */
        /* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};

3872 + 128 = 4000

And commit 573ebfa6601f ("powerpc: Increase stack redzone for 64-bit
userspace to 512 bytes") (Feb 2014):

struct rt_sigframe {
        struct ucontext    uc;                           /*     0  1696 */
        /* --- cacheline 13 boundary (1664 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
        struct ucontext    uc_transact;                  /*  1696  1696 */
        /* --- cacheline 26 boundary (3328 bytes) was 64 bytes ago --- */
        long unsigned int          _unused[2];           /*  3392    16 */
        unsigned int               tramp[6];             /*  3408    24 */
        struct siginfo *           pinfo;                /*  3432     8 */
        void *                     puc;                  /*  3440     8 */
        struct siginfo     info;                         /*  3448   128 */
        /* --- cacheline 27 boundary (3456 bytes) was 120 bytes ago --- */
        char                       abigap[512];          /*  3576   512 */	&lt;--

        /* size: 4096, cachelines: 32, members: 8 */
        /* padding: 8 */
};

4096 + 128 = 4224

Then finally in 2017, commit 1be7107fbe18 ("mm: larger stack guard
gap, between vmas") exposed us to the existing bug, because it changed
the stack VMA to be the correct/real size, meaning our stack expansion
code is now triggered.

Fix it by increasing the allowance to 4224 bytes.

Hard-coding 4224 is obviously unsafe against future expansions of the
signal frame in the same way as the existing code. We can't easily use
sizeof() because the signal frame structure is not in a header. We
will either fix that, or rip out all the custom stack expansion
checking logic entirely.

<pre>
commit 63dee5df43a31f3844efabc58972f0a206ca4534 upstream.

We have powerpc specific logic in our page fault handling to decide if
an access to an unmapped address below the stack pointer should expand
the stack VMA.

The code was originally added in 2004 "ported from 2.4". The rough
logic is that the stack is allowed to grow to 1MB with no extra
checking. Over 1MB the access must be within 2048 bytes of the stack
pointer, or be from a user instruction that updates the stack pointer.

The 2048 byte allowance below the stack pointer is there to cover the
288 byte "red zone" as well as the "about 1.5kB" needed by the signal
delivery code.

Unfortunately since then the signal frame has expanded, and is now
4224 bytes on 64-bit kernels with transactional memory enabled. This
means if a process has consumed more than 1MB of stack, and its stack
pointer lies less than 4224 bytes from the next page boundary, signal
delivery will fault when trying to expand the stack and the process
will see a SEGV.

The total size of the signal frame is the size of struct rt_sigframe
(which includes the red zone) plus __SIGNAL_FRAMESIZE (128 bytes on
64-bit).

The 2048 byte allowance was correct until 2008 as the signal frame
was:

struct rt_sigframe {
        struct ucontext    uc;                           /*     0  1440 */
        /* --- cacheline 11 boundary (1408 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
        long unsigned int          _unused[2];           /*  1440    16 */
        unsigned int               tramp[6];             /*  1456    24 */
        struct siginfo *           pinfo;                /*  1480     8 */
        void *                     puc;                  /*  1488     8 */
        struct siginfo     info;                         /*  1496   128 */
        /* --- cacheline 12 boundary (1536 bytes) was 88 bytes ago --- */
        char                       abigap[288];          /*  1624   288 */

        /* size: 1920, cachelines: 15, members: 7 */
        /* padding: 8 */
};

1920 + 128 = 2048

Then in commit ce48b2100785 ("powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore,
ptrace and signal support") (Jul 2008) the signal frame expanded to
2304 bytes:

struct rt_sigframe {
        struct ucontext    uc;                           /*     0  1696 */	&lt;--
        /* --- cacheline 13 boundary (1664 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
        long unsigned int          _unused[2];           /*  1696    16 */
        unsigned int               tramp[6];             /*  1712    24 */
        struct siginfo *           pinfo;                /*  1736     8 */
        void *                     puc;                  /*  1744     8 */
        struct siginfo     info;                         /*  1752   128 */
        /* --- cacheline 14 boundary (1792 bytes) was 88 bytes ago --- */
        char                       abigap[288];          /*  1880   288 */

        /* size: 2176, cachelines: 17, members: 7 */
        /* padding: 8 */
};

2176 + 128 = 2304

At this point we should have been exposed to the bug, though as far as
I know it was never reported. I no longer have a system old enough to
easily test on.

Then in 2010 commit 320b2b8de126 ("mm: keep a guard page below a
grow-down stack segment") caused our stack expansion code to never
trigger, as there was always a VMA found for a write up to PAGE_SIZE
below r1.

That meant the bug was hidden as we continued to expand the signal
frame in commit 2b0a576d15e0 ("powerpc: Add new transactional memory
state to the signal context") (Feb 2013):

struct rt_sigframe {
        struct ucontext    uc;                           /*     0  1696 */
        /* --- cacheline 13 boundary (1664 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
        struct ucontext    uc_transact;                  /*  1696  1696 */	&lt;--
        /* --- cacheline 26 boundary (3328 bytes) was 64 bytes ago --- */
        long unsigned int          _unused[2];           /*  3392    16 */
        unsigned int               tramp[6];             /*  3408    24 */
        struct siginfo *           pinfo;                /*  3432     8 */
        void *                     puc;                  /*  3440     8 */
        struct siginfo     info;                         /*  3448   128 */
        /* --- cacheline 27 boundary (3456 bytes) was 120 bytes ago --- */
        char                       abigap[288];          /*  3576   288 */

        /* size: 3872, cachelines: 31, members: 8 */
        /* padding: 8 */
        /* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};

3872 + 128 = 4000

And commit 573ebfa6601f ("powerpc: Increase stack redzone for 64-bit
userspace to 512 bytes") (Feb 2014):

struct rt_sigframe {
        struct ucontext    uc;                           /*     0  1696 */
        /* --- cacheline 13 boundary (1664 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
        struct ucontext    uc_transact;                  /*  1696  1696 */
        /* --- cacheline 26 boundary (3328 bytes) was 64 bytes ago --- */
        long unsigned int          _unused[2];           /*  3392    16 */
        unsigned int               tramp[6];             /*  3408    24 */
        struct siginfo *           pinfo;                /*  3432     8 */
        void *                     puc;                  /*  3440     8 */
        struct siginfo     info;                         /*  3448   128 */
        /* --- cacheline 27 boundary (3456 bytes) was 120 bytes ago --- */
        char                       abigap[512];          /*  3576   512 */	&lt;--

        /* size: 4096, cachelines: 32, members: 8 */
        /* padding: 8 */
};

4096 + 128 = 4224

Then finally in 2017, commit 1be7107fbe18 ("mm: larger stack guard
gap, between vmas") exposed us to the existing bug, because it changed
the stack VMA to be the correct/real size, meaning our stack expansion
code is now triggered.

commit 0c83b277ada72b585e6a3e52b067669df15bcedb upstream.

Recently random.h started including percpu.h (see commit
f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt and
activity")), which broke corenet64_smp_defconfig:

  In file included from /linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/paca.h:18,
                   from /linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/percpu.h:13,
                   from /linux/include/linux/random.h:14,
                   from /linux/lib/uuid.c:14:

    139 | DECLARE_PER_CPU(int, next_tlbcam_idx);

This is due to a circular header dependency:
  asm/mmu.h includes asm/percpu.h, which includes asm/paca.h, which
  includes asm/mmu.h

Which means DECLARE_PER_CPU() isn't defined when mmu.h needs it.

We can fix it by moving the include of paca.h below the include of
asm-generic/percpu.h.

This moves the include of paca.h out of the #ifdef __powerpc64__, but
that is OK because paca.h is almost entirely inside #ifdef
CONFIG_PPC64 anyway.

It also moves the include of paca.h out of the #ifdef CONFIG_SMP,
which could possibly break something, but seems to have no ill
effects.

[ Upstream commit a9f675f950a07d5c1dbcbb97aabac56f5ed085e3 ]

The code in vdso_cpu_init that exposes the cpu and numa node to
userspace via SPRG_VDSO incorrctly masks the cpu to 12 bits. This means
that any kernel running on a box with more than 4096 threads (NR_CPUS
advertises a limit of of 8192 cpus) would expose userspace to two cpu
contexts running at the same time with the same cpu number.

Note: I'm not aware of any distro shipping a kernel with support for more
than 4096 threads today, nor of any system image that currently exceeds
4096 threads. Found via code browsing.

[ Upstream commit 30176466e36aadba01e1a630cf42397a3438efa4 ]

Fix two issues with kprobes.h on BE which were exposed with the
optprobes work:
  - one, having to do with a missing include for linux/module.h for
    MODULE_NAME_LEN -- this didn't show up previously since the only
    users of kprobe_lookup_name were in kprobes.c, which included
    linux/module.h through other headers, and
  - two, with a missing const qualifier for a local variable which ends
    up referring a string literal. Again, this is unique to how
    kprobe_lookup_name is being invoked in optprobes.c

[ Upstream commit 126554465d93b10662742128918a5fc338cda4aa ]

The ps3_mm_region_destroy() and ps3_mm_vas_destroy() routines
are called very late in the shutdown via kexec's mmu_cleanup_all
routine.  By the time mmu_cleanup_all runs it is too late to use
udbg_printf, and calling it will cause PS3 systems to hang.

Remove all debugging statements from ps3_mm_region_destroy() and
ps3_mm_vas_destroy() and replace any error reporting with calls
to lv1_panic.

With this change builds with 'DEBUG' defined will not cause kexec
reboots to hang, and builds with 'DEBUG' defined or not will end
in lv1_panic if an error is encountered.
