commit 01d7c2a2de47890934faba91a71d183795e4348d upstream.

In save_sprs() in process.c contains the following test:

	if (cpu_has_feature(cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC)))
		t-&gt;vrsave = mfspr(SPRN_VRSAVE);

CPU feature with the mask 0x1 is CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE so the test
is equivilent to:

	if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC) &amp;&amp;
		cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE))

On CPUs without support for both (i.e G5) this results in vrsave not
being saved between context switches. The vector register save/restore
code doesn't use VRSAVE to determine which registers to save/restore,
but the value of VRSAVE is used to determine if altivec is being used
in several code paths.

commit 08a5bb2921e490939f78f38fd0d02858bb709942 upstream.

hugepd_free() used __get_cpu_var() once. Nothing ensured that the code
accessing the variable did not migrate from one CPU to another and soon
this was noticed by Tiejun Chen in 94b09d755462 ("powerpc/hugetlb:
Replace __get_cpu_var with get_cpu_var"). So we had it fixed.

Christoph Lameter was doing his __get_cpu_var() replaces and forgot
PowerPC. Then he noticed this and sent his fixed up batch again which
got applied as 69111bac42f5 ("powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses").

The careful reader will noticed one little detail: get_cpu_var() got
replaced with this_cpu_ptr(). So now we have a put_cpu_var() which does
a preempt_enable() and nothing that does preempt_disable() so we
underflow the preempt counter.

Thomas Huth discovered that a guest could cause a hard hang of a
host CPU by setting the Instruction Authority Mask Register (IAMR)
to a suitable value.  It turns out that this is because when the
code was added to context-switch the new special-purpose registers
(SPRs) that were added in POWER8, we forgot to add code to ensure
that they were restored to a sane value on guest exit.

This adds code to set those registers where a bad value could
compromise the execution of the host kernel to a suitable neutral
value on guest exit.

lbarx/stbcx. are implemented on e6500, but not on e5500.
Likewise, SMT is on e6500, but not on e5500.

So, avoid executing an unimplemented instruction by only locking
when needed (i.e. in the presence of SMT).

When destroying a hw_breakpoint event, the kernel oopses as follows:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000c07
  NIP [c0000000000291d0] arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint+0x40/0x60
  LR [c00000000020b6b4] release_bp_slot+0x44/0x80

Call chain:

  hw_breakpoint_event_init()
    bp-&gt;destroy = bp_perf_event_destroy;

  do_exit()
    perf_event_exit_task()
      perf_event_exit_task_context()
        WRITE_ONCE(child_ctx-&gt;task, TASK_TOMBSTONE);
        perf_event_exit_event()
          free_event()
            _free_event()
              bp_perf_event_destroy() // event-&gt;destroy(event);
                release_bp_slot()
                  arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint()

perf_event_exit_task_context() sets child_ctx-&gt;task as TASK_TOMBSTONE
which is (void *)-1. arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint() tries to fetch
'thread' attribute of 'task' resulting in oops.

Peterz points out that the code shouldn't be using bp-&gt;ctx anyway, but
fixing that will require a decent amount of rework. So for now to fix
the oops, check if bp-&gt;ctx-&gt;task has been set to (void *)-1, before
dereferencing it. We don't use TASK_TOMBSTONE, because that would
require exporting it and it's supposed to be an internal detail.

Replace calls to get_random_int() followed by a cast to (unsigned long)
with calls to get_random_long().  Also address shifting bug which, in
case of x86 removed entropy mask for mmap_rnd_bits values &gt; 31 bits.

We can get a hash pte fault with 4k base page size and find the pte
already inserted with 64K base page size. In that case we need to clear
the existing slot information from the old pte. Fix this correctly

With THP, we also clear the slot information with respect to all
the 64K hash pte mapping that 16MB page. They are all invalid
now. This make sure we don't find the slot valid when we fault with
4k base page size. Finding the slot valid should not result in any wrong
behavior because we do check again in hash page table for the validity.
But we can avoid that check completely.
