commit 63be1a81e40733ecd175713b6a7558dc43f00851 upstream.

This reverts commit 83e840c770f2c5 ("powerpc64/elfv1: Only dereference
function descriptor for non-text symbols").

Chandan reported that on newer kernels, trying to enable function_graph
tracer on ppc64 (BE) locks up the system with the following trace:

This is because ftrace is using ppc_function_entry() for obtaining the
address of return_to_handler() in prepare_ftrace_return(). The call to
kernel_text_address() itself gets traced and we end up in a recursive
loop.

There is no guarantee that the various isync's involved with
the context switch will order the update of the CPU mask with
the first TLB entry for the new context being loaded by the HW.

Be safe here and add a memory barrier to order any subsequent
load/store which may bring entries into the TLB.

The corresponding barrier on the other side already exists as
pte updates use pte_xchg() which uses __cmpxchg_u64 which has
a sync after the atomic operation.

The fixes branch is based off a random pre-rc1 commit, because we had
some fixes that needed to go in before rc1 was released.

However we now need to fix some code that went in after that point, but
before rc1, so merge rc1 to get that code into fixes so we can fix it!

The Radix MMU translation tree as defined in ISA v3.0 contains two
different types of entry, directories and leaves. Leaves are
identified by _PAGE_PTE being set.

The formats of the two entries are different, with the directory
entries containing no spare bits for use by software. In particular
the bit we use for _PAGE_DEVMAP is not reserved for software, and is
part of the NLB (Next Level Base) field, essentially the address of
the next level in the tree.

Note that the Linux pte_t is not == _PAGE_PTE. A huge page pmd
entry (or devmap!) is also a leaf and so has _PAGE_PTE set, even
though we use a pmd_t for it in Linux.

The fix is to ensure that the pmd/pte_devmap() confirm they are
looking at a leaf entry (_PAGE_PTE) as well as checking _PAGE_DEVMAP.

<id>urn:sha1:a25bd72badfa793ab5aeafd50dbd9db39f8c9179</id>
<content type='text'>
There's a somewhat architectural issue with Radix MMU and KVM.

When coming out of a guest with AIL (Alternate Interrupt Location, ie,
MMU enabled), we start executing hypervisor code with the PID register
still containing whatever the guest has been using.

The problem is that the CPU can (and will) then start prefetching or
speculatively load from whatever host context has that same PID (if
any), thus bringing translations for that context into the TLB, which
Linux doesn't know about.

This can cause stale translations and subsequent crashes.

Fixing this in a way that is neither racy nor a huge performance
impact is difficult. We could just make the host invalidations always
use broadcast forms but that would hurt single threaded programs for
example.

We chose to fix it instead by partitioning the PID space between guest
and host. This is possible because today Linux only use 19 out of the
20 bits of PID space, so existing guests will work if we make the host
use the top half of the 20 bits space.

We additionally add support for a property to indicate to Linux the
size of the PID register which will be useful if we eventually have
processors with a larger PID space available.

There is still an issue with malicious guests purposefully setting the
PID register to a value in the hosts PID range. Hopefully future HW
can prevent that, but in the meantime, we handle it with a pair of
kludges:

 - On the way out of a guest, before we clear the current VCPU in the
   PACA, we check the PID and if it's outside of the permitted range
   we flush the TLB for that PID.

 - When context switching, if the mm is "new" on that CPU (the
   corresponding bit was set for the first time in the mm cpumask), we
   check if any sibling thread is in KVM (has a non-NULL VCPU pointer
   in the PACA). If that is the case, we also flush the PID for that
   CPU (core).

This second part is needed to handle the case where a process is
migrated (or starts a new pthread) on a sibling thread of the CPU
coming out of KVM, as there's a window where stale translations can
exist before we detect it and flush them out.

A future optimization could be added by keeping track of whether the
PID has ever been used and avoid doing that for completely fresh PIDs.
We could similarily mark PIDs that have been the subject of a global
invalidation as "fresh". But for now this will do.
