Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
 "Hopefully the last two powerpc fixes for 4.12.

  The CXL one is larger than I'd usually send at rc7, but it fixes new
  code this cycle, so better to have it working for the release. It was
  actually sent a few weeks back but got blocked in testing behind
  another fix that was causing issues.

  We are still tracking one crash in v4.12-rc7, but only one person has
  reproduced it and the commit identified by bisect doesn't touch any of
  the relevant code, so I think it's 50/50 whether that commit is
  actually the problem or it's some code layout / toolchain issue.

  Two fixes for code we merged this cycle:

   - cxl: Fixes for Coherent Accelerator Interface Architecture 2.0

   - Avoid miscompilation w/GCC 4.6.3 on 32-bit - don't inline
     copy_to/from_user()

  Thanks to Al Viro, Larry Finger, Christophe Lombard"

The only user of thread_saved_pc() in non-arch-specific code was removed
in commit 8243d5597793 ("sched/core: Remove pointless printout in
sched_show_task()").  Remove the implementations as well.

Some architectures use thread_saved_pc() in their arch-specific code.
Leave their thread_saved_pc() intact.

Larry Finger reported that his Powerbook G4 was no longer booting with v4.12-rc,
userspace was up but giving weird errors such as:

  udevd[64]: starting version 175
  udevd[64]: Unable to receive ctrl message: Bad address.
  modprobe: chdir(4.12-rc1): No such file or directory

He bisected the problem to commit 3448890c32c3 ("powerpc: get rid of zeroing,
switch to RAW_COPY_USER").

Al identified that the problem is actually a miscompilation by GCC 4.6.3, which
is exposed by the above commit.

Al also pointed out that inlining copy_to/from_user() is probably of little or
no benefit, which is correct. Using Anton's copy_to_user benchmark, with a
pathological single byte copy, we see a small increase in performance
by *removing* inlining:

  Before (inlined):
  # time ./copy_to_user -w -l 1 -i 10000000	( x 3 )
  real	0m22.063s
  real	0m22.059s
  real	0m22.076s

  After:
  # time ./copy_to_user -w -l 1 -i 10000000	( x 3 )
  real	0m21.325s
  real	0m21.299s
  real	0m21.364s

So as a small performance improvement and to avoid the miscompilation, drop
inlining copy_to/from_user() on 32-bit.

Emergency stacks have their thread_info mostly uninitialised, which in
particular means garbage preempt_count values.

Emergency stack code runs with interrupts disabled entirely, and is
used very rarely, so this has been unnoticed so far. It was found by a
proposed new powerpc watchdog that takes a soft-NMI directly from the
masked_interrupt handler and using the emergency stack. That crashed
at BUG_ON(in_nmi()) in nmi_enter(). preempt_count()s were found to be
garbage.

To fix this, zero the entire THREAD_SIZE allocation, and initialize
the thread_info.

NPU2 requires an extra explicit flush to an active GPU PID when
sending address translation shoot downs (ATSDs) to reliably flush the
GPU TLB. This patch adds just such a flush at the end of each sequence
of ATSDs.

We can safely use PID 0 which is always reserved and active on the
GPU. PID 0 is only used for init_mm which will never be a user mm on
the GPU. To enforce this we add a check in pnv_npu2_init_context()
just in case someone tries to use PID 0 on the GPU.

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

<id>1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
 "Three small fixes for recently merged code:

   - remove a spurious WARN_ON when a PCI device has no of_node, it's
     allowed in some circumstances for there to be no of_node.

   - fix the offset for store EOI MMIOs in the XIVE interrupt
     controller.

   - fix non-const WARN_ONs which were becoming BUGs due to them losing
     BUGFLAG_WARNING in a recent cleanup patch.

  Thanks to: Alexey Kardashevskiy, Alistair Popple, Benjamin
  Herrenschmidt"

When a kthread calls call_usermodehelper() the steps are:
  1. allocate current-&gt;mm
  2. load_elf_binary()
  3. populate current-&gt;thread.regs

While doing this, interrupts are not disabled. If there is a perf
interrupt in the middle of this process (i.e. step 1 has completed
but not yet reached to step 3) and if perf tries to read userspace
regs, kernel oops with following log:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000000da0fc
  ...
  Call Trace:

  call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x170/0x210
  ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x7c

Fix it by setting abi to PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_NONE when userspace
pt_regs are not set.
