With CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG=n the build fails with:

  arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:1442:5: error: no previous prototype for ‘is_valid_bugaddr’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
  1442 | int is_valid_bugaddr(unsigned long addr)
       |     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The prototype is only defined, and the function is only needed, when
CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG=y, so move the implementation under that.

Sparse reports several function implementations annotated with extern.
This is clearly incorrect, likely just copied from an actual extern
declaration in another file.

Fix the sparse warnings by removing extern.

To determine if a trap was caused by a HASHCHK instruction, we inspect
the user instruction that triggered the trap. However this may sleep
if the page needs to be faulted in (get_user_instr() reaches
__get_user(), which calls might_fault() and triggers the bug message).

Move the HASHCHK handler logic to after we allow IRQs, which is fine
because we are only interested in HASHCHK if it's a user space trap.

<title>powerpc/kuap: Simplify KUAP lock/unlock on BOOK3S/32</title>

<id>5222a1d5142ec4f9ec063b274b80e20639584dbc</id>
<content type='text'>
On book3s/32 KUAP is performed at segment level. At the moment,
when enabling userspace access, only current segment is modified.
Then if a write is performed on another user segment, a fault is
taken and all other user segments get enabled for userspace
access. This then require special attention when disabling
userspace access.

Having a userspace write access crossing a segment boundary is
unlikely. Having a userspace write access crossing a segment boundary
back and forth is even more unlikely. So, instead of enabling
userspace access on all segments when a write fault occurs, just
change which segment has userspace access enabled in order to
eliminate the case when more than one segment has userspace access
enabled. That simplifies userspace access deactivation.

There is however a corner case which is even more unlikely but has
to be handled anyway: an unaligned access which is crossing a
segment boundary. That would definitely require at least having
userspace access enabled on the two segments. To avoid complicating
the likely case for a so unlikely happening, handle such situation
like an alignment exception and emulate the store.

<title>Revert "powerpc/bug: Provide better flexibility to WARN_ON/__WARN_FLAGS() with asm goto"</title>
<updated>2023-07-17T00:35:28+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=b49e578b9314db051da0ad72bba24094193f9bd0'/>
<id>b49e578b9314db051da0ad72bba24094193f9bd0</id>
<content type='text'>
This partly reverts commit 1e688dd2a3d6759d416616ff07afc4bb836c4213.

That commit aimed at optimising the code around generation of
WARN_ON/BUG_ON but this leads to a lot of dead code erroneously
generated by GCC.

That dead code becomes a problem when we start using objtool validation
because objtool will abort validation with a warning as soon as it
detects unreachable code. This is because unreachable code might
be the indication that objtool doesn't properly decode object text.

     text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  9551585	3627834	 224376	13403795	 cc8693	vmlinux.before
  9535281	3628358	 224376	13388015	 cc48ef	vmlinux.after

Once this change is reverted, in a standard configuration (pmac32 +
function tracer) the text is reduced by 16k which is around 1.7%

We already had problem with it when starting to use objtool on powerpc
as a replacement for recordmcount, see commit 93e3f45a2631 ("powerpc:
Fix __WARN_FLAGS() for use with Objtool")

There is also a problem with at least GCC 12, on ppc64_defconfig +
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y + CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y :

    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
  powerpc64-linux-ld: net/ipv4/tcp_input.o:(__ex_table+0xc4): undefined reference to `.L2136'
  make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:36: vmlinux] Error 1
  make[1]: *** [/home/chleroy/linux-powerpc/Makefile:1238: vmlinux] Error 2

Taking into account that other problems are encountered with that
'asm goto' in WARN_ON(), including build failures, keeping that
change is not worth it allthough it is primarily a compiler bug.

Revert it for now.

mpe: Retain EMIT_WARN_ENTRY as a synonym for EMIT_BUG_ENTRY to reduce
churn, as there are now nearly as many uses of EMIT_WARN_ENTRY as
EMIT_BUG_ENTRY.

This partly reverts commit 1e688dd2a3d6759d416616ff07afc4bb836c4213.

That commit aimed at optimising the code around generation of
WARN_ON/BUG_ON but this leads to a lot of dead code erroneously
generated by GCC.

That dead code becomes a problem when we start using objtool validation
because objtool will abort validation with a warning as soon as it
detects unreachable code. This is because unreachable code might
be the indication that objtool doesn't properly decode object text.

     text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  9551585	3627834	 224376	13403795	 cc8693	vmlinux.before
  9535281	3628358	 224376	13388015	 cc48ef	vmlinux.after

Once this change is reverted, in a standard configuration (pmac32 +
function tracer) the text is reduced by 16k which is around 1.7%

We already had problem with it when starting to use objtool on powerpc
as a replacement for recordmcount, see commit 93e3f45a2631 ("powerpc:
Fix __WARN_FLAGS() for use with Objtool")

There is also a problem with at least GCC 12, on ppc64_defconfig +
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y + CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y :

    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
  powerpc64-linux-ld: net/ipv4/tcp_input.o:(__ex_table+0xc4): undefined reference to `.L2136'
  make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:36: vmlinux] Error 1
  make[1]: *** [/home/chleroy/linux-powerpc/Makefile:1238: vmlinux] Error 2

Taking into account that other problems are encountered with that
'asm goto' in WARN_ON(), including build failures, keeping that
change is not worth it allthough it is primarily a compiler bug.

Revert it for now.

mpe: Retain EMIT_WARN_ENTRY as a synonym for EMIT_BUG_ENTRY to reduce
churn, as there are now nearly as many uses of EMIT_WARN_ENTRY as
EMIT_BUG_ENTRY.

<title>powerpc/dexcr: Handle hashchk exception</title>

Recognise and pass the appropriate signal to the user program when a
hashchk instruction triggers. This is independent of allowing
configuration of DEXCR[NPHIE], as a hypervisor can enforce this aspect
regardless of the kernel.

The signal mirrors how ARM reports their similar check failure. For
example, their FPAC handler in arch/arm64/kernel/traps.c do_el0_fpac()
does this. When we fail to read the instruction that caused the fault
we send a segfault, similar to how emulate_math() does it.

<title>powerpc/64s: early boot machine check handler</title>

Use the early boot interrupt fixup in the machine check handler to allow
the machine check handler to run before interrupt endian is set up.
Branch to an early boot handler that just does a basic crash, which
allows it to run before ppc_md is set up. MSR[ME] is enabled on the boot
CPU earlier, and the machine check stack is temporarily set to the
middle of the init task stack.

This allows machine checks (e.g., due to invalid data access in real
mode) to print something useful earlier in boot (as soon as udbg is set
up, if CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG=y).
