commit a214720cbf50cd8c3f76bbb9c3f5c283910e9d33 upstream.

Octeon has an boot-time option to disable pcie.

Since MSI depends on PCI-E, we should also disable MSI also with
this option is on in order to avoid inadvertently accessing PCIe
registers.

<title>arm64: kaslr: ensure randomized quantities are clean to the PoC</title>

commit 1598ecda7b239e9232dda032bfddeed9d89fab6c upstream.

kaslr_early_init() is called with the kernel mapped at its
link time offset, and if it returns with a non-zero offset,
the kernel is unmapped and remapped again at the randomized
offset.

During its execution, kaslr_early_init() also randomizes the
base of the module region and of the linear mapping of DRAM,
and sets two variables accordingly. However, since these
variables are assigned with the caches on, they may get lost
during the cache maintenance that occurs when unmapping and
remapping the kernel, so ensure that these values are cleaned
to the PoC.

commit 2b4dba55b04b212a7fd1f0395b41d79ee3a9801b upstream.

This makes SMP on the vrx200 work again, by removing all the MIPS CPU
interrupt specific code and making it fully use the generic MIPS CPU
interrupt controller.

The mti,cpu-interrupt-controller from irq-mips-cpu.c now handles the CPU
interrupts and also the IPI interrupts which are used to communication
between the CPUs in a SMP system. The generic interrupt code was
already used before but the interrupt vectors were overwritten again
when we called set_vi_handler() in the lantiq interrupt driver and we
also provided our own plat_irq_dispatch() function which overwrote the
weak generic implementation. Now the code uses the generic handler for
the MIPS CPU interrupts including the IPI interrupts and registers a
handler for the CPU interrupts which are handled by the lantiq ICU with
irq_set_chained_handler() which was already called before.

Calling the set_c0_status() function is also not needed any more because
the generic MIPS CPU interrupt already activates the needed bits.

commit 5a9372f751b5350e0ce3d2ee91832f1feae2c2e5 upstream.

While reading through the sysvipc implementation, I noticed that the n32
semctl/shmctl/msgctl system calls behave differently based on whether
o32 support is enabled or not: Without o32, the IPC_64 flag passed by
user space is rejected but calls without that flag get IPC_64 behavior.

As far as I can tell, this was inadvertently changed by a cleanup patch
but never noticed by anyone, possibly nobody has tried using sysvipc
on n32 after linux-3.19.

Change it back to the old behavior now.

<title>arm64: Don't trap host pointer auth use to EL2</title>

[ Backport of upstream commit b3669b1e1c09890d61109a1a8ece2c5b66804714 ]

To allow EL0 (and/or EL1) to use pointer authentication functionality,
we must ensure that pointer authentication instructions and accesses to
pointer authentication keys are not trapped to EL2.

This patch ensures that HCR_EL2 is configured appropriately when the
kernel is booted at EL2. For non-VHE kernels we set HCR_EL2.{API,APK},
ensuring that EL1 can access keys and permit EL0 use of instructions.
For VHE kernels host EL0 (TGE &amp;&amp; E2H) is unaffected by these settings,
and it doesn't matter how we configure HCR_EL2.{API,APK}, so we don't
bother setting them.

This does not enable support for KVM guests, since KVM manages HCR_EL2
itself when running VMs.

[ Backport of upstream commit 4eaed6aa2c628101246bcabc91b203bfac1193f8 ]

In KVM we define the configuration of HCR_EL2 for a VHE HOST in
HCR_HOST_VHE_FLAGS, but we don't have a similar definition for the
non-VHE host flags, and open-code HCR_RW. Further, in head.S we
open-code the flags for VHE and non-VHE configurations.

In future, we're going to want to configure more flags for the host, so
lets add a HCR_HOST_NVHE_FLAGS defintion, and consistently use both
HCR_HOST_VHE_FLAGS and HCR_HOST_NVHE_FLAGS in the kvm code and head.S.

We now use mov_q to generate the HCR_EL2 value, as we use when
configuring other registers in head.S.

commit f775b13eedee2f7f3c6fdd4e90fb79090ce5d339 upstream.

Currently, every time a VCPU is scheduled out, the host kernel will
first save the guest FPU/xstate context, then load the qemu userspace
FPU context, only to then immediately save the qemu userspace FPU
context back to memory. When scheduling in a VCPU, the same extraneous
FPU loads and saves are done.

This could be avoided by moving from a model where the guest FPU is
loaded and stored with preemption disabled, to a model where the
qemu userspace FPU is swapped out for the guest FPU context for
the duration of the KVM_RUN ioctl.

This is done under the VCPU mutex, which is also taken when other
tasks inspect the VCPU FPU context, so the code should already be
safe for this change. That should come as no surprise, given that
s390 already has this optimization.

This can fix a bug where KVM calls get_user_pages while owning the
FPU, and the file system ends up requesting the FPU again:

<title>powerpc/tm: Set MSR[TS] just prior to recheckpoint</title>

commit e1c3743e1a20647c53b719dbf28b48f45d23f2cd upstream.

On a signal handler return, the user could set a context with MSR[TS] bits
set, and these bits would be copied to task regs-&gt;msr.

At restore_tm_sigcontexts(), after current task regs-&gt;msr[TS] bits are set,
several __get_user() are called and then a recheckpoint is executed.

This is a problem since a page fault (in kernel space) could happen when
calling __get_user(). If it happens, the process MSR[TS] bits were
already set, but recheckpoint was not executed, and SPRs are still invalid.

The page fault can cause the current process to be de-scheduled, with
MSR[TS] active and without tm_recheckpoint() being called.  More
importantly, without TEXASR[FS] bit set also.

Since TEXASR might not have the FS bit set, and when the process is
scheduled back, it will try to reclaim, which will be aborted because of
the CPU is not in the suspended state, and, then, recheckpoint. This
recheckpoint will restore thread-&gt;texasr into TEXASR SPR, which might be
zero, hitting a BUG_ON().

This patch simply delays the MSR[TS] set, so, if there is any page fault in
the __get_user() section, it does not have regs-&gt;msr[TS] set, since the TM
structures are still invalid, thus avoiding doing TM operations for
in-kernel exceptions and possible process reschedule.

With this patch, the MSR[TS] will only be set just before recheckpointing
and setting TEXASR[FS] = 1, thus avoiding an interrupt with TM registers in
invalid state.

Other than that, if CONFIG_PREEMPT is set, there might be a preemption just
after setting MSR[TS] and before tm_recheckpoint(), thus, this block must
be atomic from a preemption perspective, thus, calling
preempt_disable/enable() on this code.

It is not possible to move tm_recheckpoint to happen earlier, because it is
required to get the checkpointed registers from userspace, with
__get_user(), thus, the only way to avoid this undesired behavior is
delaying the MSR[TS] set.

The 32-bits signal handler seems to be safe this current issue, but, it
might be exposed to the preemption issue, thus, disabling preemption in
this chunk of code.

Changes from v2:
 * Run the critical section with preempt_disable.

  readelf: Warning: [21]: Link field (0) should index a symtab section.
  readelf: Warning: [21]: Info field (0) should index a relocatable section.

Also, it seems that our use of '-pie -shared' is contradictory, and
thus ambiguous. In general, the way KASLR is wired up at the moment
is highly tailored to how ld.bfd happens to implement (and conflate)
PIE executables and shared libraries, so given the current effort to
support other toolchains, let's fix some of these issues as well.

- Drop the -pie linker argument and just leave -shared. In ld.bfd,
  the differences between them are unclear (except for the ELF type
  of the produced image [0]) but lld chokes on seeing both at the
  same time.

- Rename the .rela output section to .rela.dyn, as is customary for
  shared libraries and PIE executables, so that it is not misidentified
  by readelf as a static relocation section (producing the warnings
  above).

- Pass the -z notext and -z norelro options to explicitly instruct the
  linker to permit text relocations, and to omit the RELRO program
  header (which requires a certain section layout that we don't adhere
  to in the kernel). These are the defaults for current versions of
  ld.bfd.

- Discard .eh_frame and .gnu.hash sections to avoid them from being
  emitted between .head.text and .text, screwing up the section layout.

These changes only affect the ELF image, and produce the same binary
image.

commit 3bbd3db86470c701091fb1d67f1fab6621debf50 upstream.

readelf complains about the section layout of vmlinux when building
with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y (for KASLR):

  readelf: Warning: [21]: Link field (0) should index a symtab section.
  readelf: Warning: [21]: Info field (0) should index a relocatable section.
