[ Upstream commit 9dbd5927408c4a0707de73ae9dd9306b184e8fee ]

The FPU &amp; VMX preemption tests do not check for errors returned by the
low-level asm routines, preempt_fpu() / preempt_vsx() respectively.
That means any register corruption detected by the asm routines does not
result in a test failure.

Fix it by returning the return value of the asm routines from the
pthread child routines.

[ Upstream commit a8968521cfdc3e339fe69473d6632e0aa8d7202a ]

We have a general signal fuzzer, sigfuz, which can modify the MSR &amp; NIP
before sigreturn. But the chance of it hitting a kernel address and also
clearing MSR_PR is fairly slim.

So add a specific test of sigreturn to a kernel address, both with and
without attempting to clear MSR_PR (which the kernel must block).

[ Upstream commit 3c42e9542050d49610077e083c7c3f5fd5e26820 ]

A mis-match between reported and actual mitigation is not restricted to the
Vulnerable case. The guest might also report the mitigation as "Software
count cache flush" and the host will still mitigate with branch cache
disabled.

So, instead of skipping depending on the detected mitigation, simply skip
whenever the detected miss_percent is the expected one for a fully
mitigated system, that is, above 95%.

The basic TM vs syscall test code hard codes an sc instruction for the
system call, which fails to cover scv even when the userspace libc has
support for it.

Duplicate the tests with hard coded scv variants so both are tested
when possible.

<title>selftests: Skip TM tests on synthetic TM implementations</title>

Transactional Memory was removed from the architecture in ISA v3.1. For
threads running in P8/P9 compatibility mode on P10 a synthetic TM
implementation is provided. In this implementation, tbegin. always sets
cr0 eq meaning the abort handler is always called. This is not an issue
as users of TM are expected to have a fallback non transactional way to
make forward progress in the abort handler.  The TEXASR indicates if a
transaction failure is due to a synthetic implementation.

Some of the TM self tests need a non-degenerate TM implementation for
their testing to be meaningful so check for a synthetic implementation
and skip the test if so.

ISA v3.1 removes TM but includes a synthetic implementation for
backwards compatibility.  With this implementation,  the tests
ptrace-tm-spd-gpr and ptrace-tm-gpr should never be able to make any
forward progress and eventually should be killed by the timeout.
Instead on a P10 running in P9 mode, ptrace_tm_gpr fails like so:

test: ptrace_tm_gpr
tags: git_version:unknown
Starting the child
...
...
GPR[27]: 1 Expected: 2
GPR[28]: 1 Expected: 2
GPR[29]: 1 Expected: 2
GPR[30]: 1 Expected: 2
GPR[31]: 1 Expected: 2
[FAIL] Test FAILED on line 98
failure: ptrace_tm_gpr
selftests:  ptrace-tm-gpr [FAIL]

The problem is in the inline assembly of the child. r0 is loaded with a
value in the child's transaction abort handler but this register is not
included in the clobbers list.  This means it is possible that this
statement:
	cptr[1] = 0;
which is meant to signal the parent to wait may actually use the value
placed into r0 by the inline assembly incorrectly signal the parent to
continue.

By inspection the same problem is present in ptrace-tm-spd-gpr.

Adding r0 to the clobbbers list makes the test fail correctly via a
timeout on a P10 running in P8/P9 compatibility mode.

<title>powerpc/bug: Provide better flexibility to WARN_ON/__WARN_FLAGS() with asm goto</title>

<id>1e688dd2a3d6759d416616ff07afc4bb836c4213</id>
<content type='text'>
Using asm goto in __WARN_FLAGS() and WARN_ON() allows more
flexibility to GCC.

For that add an entry to the exception table so that
program_check_exception() knowns where to resume execution
after a WARNING.

Here are two exemples. The first one is done on PPC32 (which
benefits from the previous patch), the second is on PPC64.

	unsigned long test(struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		int ret;

		WARN_ON(regs-&gt;msr &amp; MSR_PR);

		return regs-&gt;gpr[3];
	}

	unsigned long test9w(unsigned long a, unsigned long b)
	{
		if (WARN_ON(!b))
			return 0;
		return a / b;
	}

Before the patch:

	000003a8 &lt;test&gt;:

In the first exemple, we see GCC doesn't need to duplicate what
happens after the trap.

In the second exemple, we see that GCC doesn't need to emit a test
and a branch in the likely path in addition to the trap.

We've got some WARN_ON() in .softirqentry.text section so it needs
to be added in the OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in modpost.c

Using asm goto in __WARN_FLAGS() and WARN_ON() allows more
flexibility to GCC.

For that add an entry to the exception table so that
program_check_exception() knowns where to resume execution
after a WARNING.

Here are two exemples. The first one is done on PPC32 (which
benefits from the previous patch), the second is on PPC64.

	unsigned long test(struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		int ret;

		WARN_ON(regs-&gt;msr &amp; MSR_PR);

		return regs-&gt;gpr[3];
	}

	unsigned long test9w(unsigned long a, unsigned long b)
	{
		if (WARN_ON(!b))
			return 0;
		return a / b;
	}

Before the patch:

	000003a8 &lt;test&gt;:
	 3a8:	81 23 00 84 	lwz     r9,132(r3)
	 3ac:	71 29 40 00 	andi.   r9,r9,16384

	 3b4:	80 63 00 0c 	lwz     r3,12(r3)
	 3b8:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

	 3bc:	0f e0 00 00 	twui    r0,0

	 c0c:	38 60 00 00 	li      r3,0
	 c10:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

After the patch:

	000003a8 &lt;test&gt;:
	 3a8:	81 23 00 84 	lwz     r9,132(r3)
	 3ac:	71 29 40 00 	andi.   r9,r9,16384

	 3b8:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

	 3bc:	0f e0 00 00 	twui    r0,0

	0000000000000c50 &lt;.test9w&gt;:

On PowerVM, the hypervisor defines the maximum buffer length for
each NX request and the kernel exported this value via sysfs.

This patch reads this value if the sysfs entry is available and
is used to limit the request length.
