[ Upstream commit 11362b1befeadaae4d159a8cddcdaf6b8afe08f9 ]

There is a potential race condition between hypervisor page faults
and flushing a memslot.  It is possible for a page fault to read the
memslot before a memslot is updated and then write a PTE to the
partition-scoped page tables after kvmppc_radix_flush_memslot has
completed.  (Note that this race has never been explicitly observed.)

To close this race, it is sufficient to increment the MMU sequence
number while the kvm-&gt;mmu_lock is held.  That will cause
mmu_notifier_retry() to return true, and the page fault will then
return to the guest without inserting a PTE.

[ Upstream commit a36e8ba60b991d563677227f172db69e030797e6 ]

IMC(In-memory Collection Counters) does performance monitoring in
two different modes, i.e accumulation mode(core-imc and thread-imc events),
and trace mode(trace-imc events). A cpu thread can either be in
accumulation-mode or trace-mode at a time and this is done via the LDBAR
register in POWER architecture. The current design does not address the
races between thread-imc and trace-imc events.

Patch implements a global id and lock to avoid the races between
core, trace and thread imc events. With this global id-lock
implementation, the system can either run core, thread or trace imc
events at a time. i.e. to run any core-imc events, thread/trace imc events
should not be enabled/monitored.

[ Upstream commit 1dff3064c764b5a51c367b949b341d2e38972bec ]

On P9 DD2.2 due to a CPU defect some TM instructions need to be emulated by
KVM. This is handled at first by the hardware raising a softpatch interrupt
when certain TM instructions that need KVM assistance are executed in the
guest. Althought some TM instructions per Power ISA are invalid forms they
can raise a softpatch interrupt too. For instance, 'tresume.' instruction
as defined in the ISA must have bit 31 set (1), but an instruction that
matches 'tresume.' PO and XO opcode fields but has bit 31 not set (0), like
0x7cfe9ddc, also raises a softpatch interrupt. Similarly for 'treclaim.'
and 'trechkpt.' instructions with bit 31 = 0, i.e. 0x7c00075c and
0x7c0007dc, respectively. Hence, if a code like the following is executed
in the guest it will raise a softpatch interrupt just like a 'tresume.'
when the TM facility is enabled ('tabort. 0' in the example is used only
to enable the TM facility):

int main() { asm("tabort. 0; .long 0x7cfe9ddc;"); }

Currently in such a case KVM throws a complete trace like:

and then treats the executed instruction as a 'nop'.

However the POWER9 User's Manual, in section "4.6.10 Book II Invalid
Forms", informs that for TM instructions bit 31 is in fact ignored, thus
for the TM-related invalid forms ignoring bit 31 and handling them like the
valid forms is an acceptable way to handle them. POWER8 behaves the same
way too.

This commit changes the handling of the cases here described by treating
the TM-related invalid forms that can generate a softpatch interrupt
just like their valid forms (w/ bit 31 = 1) instead of as a 'nop' and by
gently reporting any other unrecognized case to the host and treating it as
illegal instruction instead of throwing a trace and treating it as a 'nop'.

and then treats the executed instruction as a 'nop'.

However the POWER9 User's Manual, in section "4.6.10 Book II Invalid
Forms", informs that for TM instructions bit 31 is in fact ignored, thus
for the TM-related invalid forms ignoring bit 31 and handling them like the
valid forms is an acceptable way to handle them. POWER8 behaves the same
way too.

This commit changes the handling of the cases here described by treating
the TM-related invalid forms that can generate a softpatch interrupt
just like their valid forms (w/ bit 31 = 1) instead of as a 'nop' and by
gently reporting any other unrecognized case to the host and treating it as
illegal instruction instead of throwing a trace and treating it as a 'nop'.

[ Upstream commit c4b78169e3667413184c9a20e11b5832288a109f ]

The last jump to free_exit in mm_iommu_do_alloc() happens after page
pointers in struct mm_iommu_table_group_mem_t were already converted to
physical addresses. Thus calling put_page() on these physical addresses
will likely crash.

This moves the loop which calculates the pageshift and converts page
struct pointers to physical addresses later after the point when
we cannot fail; thus eliminating the need to convert pointers back.

[ Upstream commit 4e0942c0302b5ad76b228b1a7b8c09f658a1d58a ]

Many drivers don't check for errors when they get a 0xFFs response from an
MMIO load. As a result after an EEH event occurs a driver can get stuck in
a polling loop unless it some kind of internal timeout logic.

Currently EEH tries to detect and report stuck drivers by dumping a stack
trace after eeh_dev_check_failure() is called EEH_MAX_FAILS times on an
already frozen PE. The value of EEH_MAX_FAILS was chosen so that a dump
would occur every few seconds if the driver was spinning in a loop. This
results in a lot of spurious stack traces in the kernel log.

Fix this by limiting it to printing one stack trace for each PE freeze. If
the driver is truely stuck the kernel's hung task detector is better suited
to reporting the probelm anyway.

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".

[ Upstream commit 103a8542cb35b5130f732d00b0419a594ba1b517 ]

If the hypervisor doesn't support hugepages, the kernel ends up allocating a large
number of page table pages. The early page table allocation was wrongly
setting the max memblock limit to ppc64_rma_size with radix translation
which resulted in boot failure as shown below.

Kernel panic - not syncing:
early_alloc_pgtable: Failed to allocate 16777216 bytes align=0x1000000 nid=-1 from=0x0000000000000000 max_addr=0xffffffffffffffff

This was because the kernel was checking for the radix feature before we enable the
feature via mmu_features. This resulted in the kernel using hash restrictions on
radix.

Rework the early init code such that the kernel boot with memblock restrictions
as imposed by hash. At that point, the kernel still hasn't finalized the
translation the kernel will end up using.

We have three different ways of detecting radix.

1. dt_cpu_ftrs_scan -&gt; used only in case of PowerNV
2. ibm,pa-features -&gt; Used when we don't use cpu_dt_ftr_scan
3. CAS -&gt; Where we negotiate with hypervisor about the supported translation.

We look at 1 or 2 early in the boot and after that, we look at the CAS vector to
finalize the translation the kernel will use. We also support a kernel command
line option (disable_radix) to switch to hash.

Update the memblock limit after mmu_early_init_devtree() if the kernel is going
to use radix translation. This forces some of the memblock allocations we do before
mmu_early_init_devtree() to be within the RMA limit.

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.

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
