[Note this patch is not upstream. The bug fix was fixed differently in
upstream prior to the bug being identified.]

The SLB miss handler calls slb_allocate_realmode() in order to create an
SLB entry for the faulting address. At the very start of that function
we check that the faulting Effective Address (EA) is less than
PGTABLE_RANGE (ignoring the region), ie. is it an address which could
possibly fit in the virtual address space.

For an EA which fails that test, we branch out of line (to label 8), but
we still go on to create an SLB entry for the address. The SLB entry we
create has a VSID of 0, which means it will never match anything in the
hash table and so can't actually translate to a physical address.

However that SLB entry will be inserted in the SLB, and so needs to be
managed properly like any other SLB entry. In particular we need to
insert the SLB entry in the SLB cache, so that it will be flushed when
the process is descheduled.

And that is where the bugs begin. The first bug is that slb_finish_load()
uses cr7 to decide if it should insert the SLB entry into the SLB cache.
When we come from the invalid EA case we don't set cr7, it just has some
junk value from userspace. So we may or may not insert the SLB entry in
the SLB cache. If we fail to insert it, we may then incorrectly leave it
in the SLB when the process is descheduled.

The second bug is that even if we do happen to add the entry to the SLB
cache, we do not have enough bits in the SLB cache to remember the full
ESID value for very large EAs.

For example if a process branches to 0x788c545a18000000, that results in
a 256MB SLB entry with an ESID of 0x788c545a1. But each entry in the SLB
cache is only 32-bits, meaning we truncate the ESID to 0x88c545a1. This
has the same effect as the first bug, we incorrectly leave the SLB entry
in the SLB when the process is descheduled.

When a process accesses an invalid EA it results in a SEGV signal being
sent to the process, which typically results in the process being
killed. Process death isn't instantaneous however, the process may catch
the SEGV signal and continue somehow, or the kernel may start writing a
core dump for the process, either of which means it's possible for the
process to be preempted while its processing the SEGV but before it's
been killed.

If that happens, when the process is scheduled back onto the CPU we will
allocate a new SLB entry for the NIP, which will insert a second entry
into the SLB for the bad EA. Because we never flushed the original
entry, due to either bug one or two, we now have two SLB entries that
match the same EA.

If another access is made to that EA, either by the process continuing
after catching the SEGV, or by a second process accessing the same bad
EA on the same CPU, we will trigger an SLB multi-hit machine check
exception. This has been observed happening in the wild.

The fix is when we hit the invalid EA case, we mark the SLB cache as
being full. This causes us to not insert the truncated ESID into the SLB
cache, and means when the process is switched out we will flush the
entire SLB. Note that this works both for the original fault and for a
subsequent call to slb_allocate_realmode() from switch_slb().

Because we mark the SLB cache as full, it doesn't really matter what
value is in cr7, but rather than leaving it as something random we set
it to indicate the address was a kernel address. That also skips the
attempt to insert it in the SLB cache which is a nice side effect.

Another way to fix the bug would be to make the entries in the SLB cache
wider, so that we don't truncate the ESID. However this would be a more
intrusive change as it alters the size and layout of the paca.

This bug was fixed in upstream by commit f0f558b131db ("powerpc/mm:
Preserve CFAR value on SLB miss caused by access to bogus address"),
which changed the way we handle a bad EA entirely removing this bug in
the process.

commit a9f8553e935f26cb5447f67e280946b0923cd2dc upstream.

This fixes a crash when function_graph and jprobes are used together.
This is essentially commit 237d28db036e ("ftrace/jprobes/x86: Fix
conflict between jprobes and function graph tracing"), but for powerpc.

Jprobes breaks function_graph tracing since the jprobe hook needs to use
jprobe_return(), which never returns back to the hook, but instead to
the original jprobe'd function. The solution is to momentarily pause
function_graph tracing before invoking the jprobe hook and re-enable it
when returning back to the original jprobe'd function.

commit 46a704f8409f79fd66567ad3f8a7304830a84293 upstream.

If userspace attempts to call the KVM_RUN ioctl when it has hardware
transactional memory (HTM) enabled, the values that it has put in the
HTM-related SPRs TFHAR, TFIAR and TEXASR will get overwritten by
guest values.  To fix this, we detect this condition and save those
SPR values in the thread struct, and disable HTM for the task.  If
userspace goes to access those SPRs or the HTM facility in future,
a TM-unavailable interrupt will occur and the handler will reload
those SPRs and re-enable HTM.

If userspace has started a transaction and suspended it, we would
currently lose the transactional state in the guest entry path and
would almost certainly get a "TM Bad Thing" interrupt, which would
cause the host to crash.  To avoid this, we detect this case and
return from the KVM_RUN ioctl with an EINVAL error, with the KVM
exit reason set to KVM_EXIT_FAIL_ENTRY.

<title>mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas</title>

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

commit 1a73d9310e093fc3adffba4d0a67b9fab2ee3f63 upstream.

The code handling the pop76 opcode (ie. bnezc &amp; jialc instructions) in
__compute_return_epc_for_insn() needs to set the value of $31 in the
jialc case, which is encoded with rs = 0. However its check to
differentiate bnezc (rs != 0) from jialc (rs = 0) was unfortunately
backwards, meaning that if we emulate a bnezc instruction we clobber $31
&amp; if we emulate a jialc instruction it actually behaves like a jic
instruction.

Fix this by inverting the check of rs to match the way the instructions
are actually encoded.

commit 861ce4a3244c21b0af64f880d5bfe5e6e2fb9e4a upstream.

'__vmalloc_start_set' currently only gets set in initmem_init() when
!CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES. This breaks detection of vmalloc address
with virt_addr_valid() with CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y, causing
a kernel crash:

  [mm/usercopy] 517e1fbeb6: kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:78!

Set '__vmalloc_start_set' appropriately for that case as well.

commit b5c3206190f1fddd100b3060eb15f0d775ffeab8 upstream.

My static checker complains that if "lvl" is ULONG_MAX (this is 64 bit)
then some of the strings will overflow.  I don't know if that's possible
but it seems simple enough to make the buffers slightly larger.

commit c0e7bb38c07cbd8269549ee0a0566021a3c729de upstream.

For most cases a protection exception in the host (e.g. copy
on write or dirty tracking) on the sie instruction will indicate
an instruction length of 4. Turns out that there are some corner
cases (e.g. runtime instrumentation) where this is not necessarily
true and the ILC is unpredictable.

Let's replace our 4 byte rewind_pad with 3 byte nops to prepare for
all possible ILCs.

commit e5c86679d5e864947a52fb31e45a425dea3e7fa9 upstream.

Linux IRQ #0 is reserved for error reporting and may not be used.
Increase NR_IRQS for one additional slot and increase
irq_domain_add_legacy parameter first_irq value to 1, so that linux
IRQ #0 is not associated with hardware IRQ #0 in legacy IRQ domains.
Introduce macro XTENSA_PIC_LINUX_IRQ for static translation of xtensa
PIC hardware IRQ # to linux IRQ #. Use this macro in XTFPGA platform
data definitions.

This fixes inability to use hardware IRQ #0 in configurations that don't
use device tree and allows for non-identity mapping between linux IRQ #
and hardware IRQ #.

commit 46350b71a09ccf3573649e03db55d4b61d5da231 upstream.

Table 8 from MX6DL datasheet (IMX6SDLCEC Rev. 5, 06/2015):
http://cache.nxp.com/files/32bit/doc/data_sheet/IMX6SDLCEC.pdf

states the following:

"LDO Output Set Point (VDD_ARM_CAP) = 1.125 V minimum for operation
up to 396 MHz."

So fix the entry by adding the 25mV margin value as done in the other
entries of the table, which results in 1.15V for 396MHz operation.
