commit 3ec18fc7831e7d79e2d536dd1f3bc0d3ba425e8a upstream.

commit 8779e05ba8aa ("parisc: Fix ptrace check on syscall return")
fixed testing of TI_FLAGS. This uncovered a bug in the test mask.
syscall_restore_rfi is only used when the kernel needs to exit to
usespace with single or block stepping and the recovery counter
enabled. The test however used _TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE_MASK, which
includes a lot of bits that shouldn't be tested here.

Fix this by using TIF_SINGLESTEP and TIF_BLOCKSTEP directly.

I encountered this bug by enabling syscall tracepoints. Both in qemu and
on real hardware. As soon as i enabled the tracepoint (sys_exit_read,
but i guess it doesn't really matter which one), i got random page
faults in userspace almost immediately.

commit 964b7aa0b040bdc6ec1c543ee620cda3f8b4c68a upstream.

In 64-bit mode, x86 instruction encoding allows us to use the low 8 bits
of any GPR as an 8-bit operand. In 32-bit mode, however, we can only use
the [abcd] registers. For which, GCC has the "q" constraint instead of
the less restrictive "r".

Also fix st-&gt;preempted, which is an input/output operand rather than an
input.

commit 541ac97186d9ea88491961a46284de3603c914fd upstream.

The size of the exception stacks was increased by the commit in Fixes,
resulting in stack sizes greater than a page in size. The #VC exception
handling was only mapping the first (bottom) page, resulting in an
SEV-ES guest failing to boot.

Make the #VC exception stacks part of the default exception stacks
storage and allocate them with a CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y .config. Map
them only when a SEV-ES guest has been detected.

Rip out the custom VC stacks mapping and storage code.

commit 46b49b12f3fc5e1347dba37d4639e2165f447871 upstream.

In preparation for other confidential computing technologies, introduce
a generic helper function, cc_platform_has(), that can be used to
check for specific active confidential computing attributes, like
memory encryption. This is intended to eliminate having to add multiple
technology-specific checks to the code (e.g. if (sev_active() ||
tdx_active() || ... ).

commit c45361abb9185b1e172bd75eff51ad5f601ccae4 upstream.

When CONFIG_SMP=y, timebase synchronization is required when the second
kernel is started.

arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c:
  int __cpu_up(unsigned int cpu, struct task_struct *tidle)
  {
  	...
  	if (smp_ops-&gt;give_timebase)
  		smp_ops-&gt;give_timebase();
  	...
  }

  void start_secondary(void *unused)
  {
  	...
  	if (smp_ops-&gt;take_timebase)
  		smp_ops-&gt;take_timebase();
  	...
  }

When CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n and CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=n,
 smp_85xx_ops.give_timebase is NULL,
 smp_85xx_ops.take_timebase is NULL,
As a result, the timebase is not synchronized.

Timebase  synchronization does not depend on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

<title>powerpc/pseries/mobility: ignore ibm, platform-facilities updates</title>

commit 319fa1a52e438a6e028329187783a25ad498c4e6 upstream.

On VMs with NX encryption, compression, and/or RNG offload, these
capabilities are described by nodes in the ibm,platform-facilities device
tree hierarchy:

  $ tree -d /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,platform-facilities/
  /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,platform-facilities/
  ├── ibm,compression-v1
  ├── ibm,random-v1
  └── ibm,sym-encryption-v1

  3 directories

The acceleration functions that these nodes describe are not disrupted by
live migration, not even temporarily.

But the post-migration ibm,update-nodes sequence firmware always sends
"delete" messages for this hierarchy, followed by an "add" directive to
reconstruct it via ibm,configure-connector (log with debugging statements
enabled in mobility.c):

  mobility: removing node /ibm,platform-facilities/ibm,random-v1:4294967285
  mobility: removing node /ibm,platform-facilities/ibm,compression-v1:4294967284
  mobility: removing node /ibm,platform-facilities/ibm,sym-encryption-v1:4294967283
  mobility: removing node /ibm,platform-facilities:4294967286
  ...
  mobility: added node /ibm,platform-facilities:4294967286

Note we receive a single "add" message for the entire hierarchy, and what
we receive from the ibm,configure-connector sequence is the top-level
platform-facilities node along with its three children. The debug message
simply reports the parent node and not the whole subtree.

Also, significantly, the nodes added are almost completely equivalent to
the ones removed; even phandles are unchanged. ibm,shared-interrupt-pool in
the leaf nodes is the only property I've observed to differ, and Linux does
not use that. So in practice, the sum of update messages Linux receives for
this hierarchy is equivalent to minor property updates.

We succeed in removing the original hierarchy from the device tree. But the
vio bus code is ignorant of this, and does not unbind or relinquish its
references. The leaf nodes, still reachable through sysfs, of course still
refer to the now-freed ibm,platform-facilities parent node, which makes
use-after-free possible:

  refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
  WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1706 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0x164/0x1f0

  kernfs_fop_read_iter+0x254/0x2e0
  new_sync_read+0x120/0x190
  vfs_read+0x1d0/0x240

Moreover, the "new" replacement subtree is not correctly added to the
device tree, resulting in ibm,platform-facilities parent node without the
appropriate leaf nodes, and broken symlinks in the sysfs device hierarchy:

  $ tree -d /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,platform-facilities/
  /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,platform-facilities/

  0 directories

  $ cd /sys/devices/vio ; find . -xtype l -exec file {} +
  ./ibm,sym-encryption-v1/of_node: broken symbolic link to
    ../../../firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,platform-facilities/ibm,sym-encryption-v1
  ./ibm,random-v1/of_node:         broken symbolic link to
    ../../../firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,platform-facilities/ibm,random-v1
  ./ibm,compression-v1/of_node:    broken symbolic link to
    ../../../firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,platform-facilities/ibm,compression-v1

This is because add_dt_node() -&gt; dlpar_attach_node() attaches only the
parent node returned from configure-connector, ignoring any children. This
should be corrected for the general case, but fixing that won't help with
the stale OF node references, which is the more urgent problem.

One way to address that would be to make the drivers respond to node
removal notifications, so that node references can be dropped
appropriately. But this would likely force the drivers to disrupt active
clients for no useful purpose: equivalent nodes are immediately re-added.
And recall that the acceleration capabilities described by the nodes remain
available throughout the whole process.

The solution I believe to be robust for this situation is to convert
remove+add of a node with an unchanged phandle to an update of the node's
properties in the Linux device tree structure. That would involve changing
and adding a fair amount of code, and may take several iterations to land.

Until that can be realized we have a confirmed use-after-free and the
possibility of memory corruption. So add a limited workaround that
discriminates on the node type, ignoring adds and removes. This should be
amenable to backporting in the meantime.
