commit 300981abddcb13f8f06ad58f52358b53a8096775 upstream.

The bug is here:
	if (!p)
                return ret;

The list iterator value 'p' will *always* be set and non-NULL by
list_for_each_entry(), so it is incorrect to assume that the iterator
value will be NULL if the list is empty or no element is found.

To fix the bug, Use a new value 'iter' as the list iterator, while use
the old value 'p' as a dedicated variable to point to the found element.

commit 408835832158df0357e18e96da7f2d1ed6b80e7f upstream.

PowerPC defines a get_cycles() function, but it does not do the usual
`#define get_cycles get_cycles` dance, making it impossible for generic
code to see if an arch-specific function was defined. While the
get_cycles() ifdef is not currently used, the following timekeeping
patch in this series will depend on the macro existing (or not existing)
when defining random_get_entropy().

Commit 863771a28e27 ("powerpc/32s: Convert switch_mmu_context() to C")
moved the switch_mmu_context() to C. While in principle a good idea, it
meant that the function now uses the stack. The stack is not accessible
from real mode though.

So to keep calling the function, let's turn on MSR_DR while we call it.
That way, all pointer references to the stack are handled virtually.

In addition, make sure to save/restore r12 on the stack, as it may get
clobbered by the C function.

 - Fix a buffer overflow in the papr_scm driver, only triggerable by

 - A fix in the recently added QoS handling for VAS (used for
   communicating with coprocessors).

With CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled, string functions will also perform
dynamic checks for string size which can panic the kernel, like incase
of overflow detection.

In papr_scm, papr_scm_pmu_check_events function uses stat-&gt;stat_id with
string operations, to populate the nvdimm_events_map array. Since
stat_id variable is not NULL terminated, the kernel panics with
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled at boot time.

Below are the logs of kernel panic:

  detected buffer overflow in __fortify_strlen
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  kernel BUG at lib/string_helpers.c:980!

Fix this issue by using kmemdup_nul() to copy the content of
stat-&gt;stat_id directly to the nvdimm_events_map array.

mpe: stat-&gt;stat_id comes from the hypervisor, not userspace, so there is
no security exposure.

<id>6d65028eb67dbb7627651adfc460d64196d38bd8</id>
<content type='text'>
As reported by Alan, the CFI (Call Frame Information) in the VDSO time
routines is incorrect since commit ce7d8056e38b ("powerpc/vdso: Prepare
for switching VDSO to generic C implementation.").

DWARF has a concept called the CFA (Canonical Frame Address), which on
powerpc is calculated as an offset from the stack pointer (r1). That
means when the stack pointer is changed there must be a corresponding
CFI directive to update the calculation of the CFA.

The current code is missing those directives for the changes to r1,
which prevents gdb from being able to generate a backtrace from inside
VDSO functions, eg:

  Breakpoint 1, 0x00007ffff7f804dc in __kernel_clock_gettime ()
  (gdb) bt
  #0  0x00007ffff7f804dc in __kernel_clock_gettime ()
  #1  0x00007ffff7d8872c in clock_gettime@@GLIBC_2.17 () from /lib64/libc.so.6
  #2  0x00007fffffffd960 in ?? ()
  #3  0x00007ffff7d8872c in clock_gettime@@GLIBC_2.17 () from /lib64/libc.so.6
  Backtrace stopped: frame did not save the PC

Alan helpfully describes some rules for correctly maintaining the CFI information:

  1) Every adjustment to the current frame address reg (ie. r1) must be
     described, and exactly at the instruction where r1 changes. Why?
     Because stack unwinding might want to access previous frames.

  2) If a function changes LR or any non-volatile register, the save
     location for those regs must be given. The CFI can be at any
     instruction after the saves up to the point that the reg is
     changed.
     (Exception: LR save should be described before a bl. not after)

  3) If asychronous unwind info is needed then restores of LR and
     non-volatile regs must also be described. The CFI can be at any
     instruction after the reg is restored up to the point where the
     save location is (potentially) trashed.

Fix the inability to backtrace by adding CFI directives describing the
changes to r1, ie. satisfying rule 1.

Also change the information for LR to point to the copy saved on the
stack, not the value in r0 that will be overwritten by the function
call.

Finally, add CFI directives describing the save/restore of r2.

With the fix gdb can correctly back trace and navigate up and down the stack:

  Breakpoint 1, 0x00007ffff7f804dc in __kernel_clock_gettime ()
  (gdb) bt
  #0  0x00007ffff7f804dc in __kernel_clock_gettime ()

     Because stack unwinding might want to access previous frames.

  2) If a function changes LR or any non-volatile register, the save
     location for those regs must be given. The CFI can be at any
     instruction after the saves up to the point that the reg is
     changed.
     (Exception: LR save should be described before a bl. not after)

  3) If asychronous unwind info is needed then restores of LR and
     non-volatile regs must also be described. The CFI can be at any
     instruction after the reg is restored up to the point where the
     save location is (potentially) trashed.

Fix the inability to backtrace by adding CFI directives describing the
changes to r1, ie. satisfying rule 1.

Also change the information for LR to point to the copy saved on the
stack, not the value in r0 that will be overwritten by the function
call.

Finally, add CFI directives describing the save/restore of r2.

With the fix gdb can correctly back trace and navigate up and down the stack:

<title>powerpc/pseries/vas: Use QoS credits from the userspace</title>

The user can change the QoS credits dynamically with the
management console interface which notifies OS with sysfs. After
returning from the OS interface successfully, the management
console updates the hypervisor. Since the VAS capabilities in
the hypervisor is not updated when the OS gets the update,
the kernel is using the old total credits value from the
hypervisor. Fix this issue by using the new QoS credits
from the userspace instead of depending on VAS capabilities
from the hypervisor.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:

 - Partly revert a change to our timer_interrupt() that caused lockups
   with high res timers disabled.

 - Fix a bug in KVM TCE handling that could corrupt kernel memory.

 - Two commits fixing Power9/Power10 perf alternative event selection.

Thanks to Alexey Kardashevskiy, Athira Rajeev, David Gibson, Frederic
Barrat, Madhavan Srinivasan, Miguel Ojeda, and Nicholas Piggin.
