commit 1e2a516e89fc412a754327522ab271b42f99c6b4 upstream.

This patch fixes a crash seen while doing a kexec from radix mode to
hash mode. Key 0 is special in hash and used in the RPN by default, we
set the key values to 0 today. In radix mode key 0 is used to control
supervisor&lt;-&gt;user access. In hash key 0 is used by default, so the
first instruction after the switch causes a crash on kexec.

Commit 3b10d0095a1e ("powerpc/mm/radix: Prevent kernel execution of
user space") introduced the setting of IAMR and AMOR values to prevent
execution of user mode instructions from supervisor mode. We need to
clean up these SPR's on kexec.

commit 47ebb09d54856500c5a5e14824781902b3bb738e upstream.

Now that explicitly executed loaders are loaded in the mmap region, we
have more freedom to decide where we position PIE binaries in the
address space to avoid possible collisions with mmap or stack regions.

For 64-bit, align to 4GB to allow runtimes to use the entire 32-bit
address space for 32-bit pointers.  On 32-bit use 4MB, which is the
traditional x86 minimum load location, likely to avoid historically
requiring a 4MB page table entry when only a portion of the first 4MB
would be used (since the NULL address is avoided).

commit d89ba5353f301971dd7d2f9fdf25c4432728f38e upstream.

On Power9, trying to use data breakpoints throws the splat shown
below. This is because the check for a data breakpoint in DSISR is in
do_hash_page(), which is not called when in Radix mode.

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xc000000000e19218
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000001155e8
  cpu 0x0: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c0000000ef1e7b20]

  msr: 9000000000009033
  dar: c000000000e19218
  dsisr: 400000

Move the check to handle_page_fault() so as to catch data breakpoints
in both Hash and Radix MMU modes.

We have to change the check in do_hash_page() against 0xa410 to use
0xa450, so as to include the value of (DSISR_DABRMATCH &lt;&lt; 16).

There are two sites that call handle_page_fault() when in Radix, both
already pass DSISR in r4.

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 7ceaa6dcd8c6f59588428cec37f3c8093dd1011f upstream.

At present, HV KVM on POWER8 and POWER9 machines loses any instruction
or data breakpoint set in the host whenever a guest is run.
Instruction breakpoints are currently only used by xmon, but ptrace
and the perf_event subsystem can set data breakpoints as well as xmon.

To fix this, we save the host values of the debug registers (CIABR,
DAWR and DAWRX) before entering the guest and restore them on exit.
To provide space to save them in the stack frame, we expand the stack
frame allocated by kvmppc_hv_entry() from 112 to 144 bytes.

<content type='text'>
commit 4c3bb4ccd074e1a0552078c0bf94c662367a1658 upstream.

This restores several special-purpose registers (SPRs) to sane values
on guest exit that were missed before.

TAR and VRSAVE are readable and writable by userspace, and we need to
save and restore them to prevent the guest from potentially affecting
userspace execution (not that TAR or VRSAVE are used by any known
program that run uses the KVM_RUN ioctl).  We save/restore these
in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv() rather than on every guest entry/exit.

FSCR affects userspace execution in that it can prohibit access to
certain facilities by userspace.  We restore it to the normal value
for the task on exit from the KVM_RUN ioctl.

IAMR is normally 0, and is restored to 0 on guest exit.  However,
with a radix host on POWER9, it is set to a value that prevents the
kernel from executing user-accessible memory.  On POWER9, we save
IAMR on guest entry and restore it on guest exit to the saved value
rather than 0.  On POWER8 we continue to set it to 0 on guest exit.

PSPB is normally 0.  We restore it to 0 on guest exit to prevent
userspace taking advantage of the guest having set it non-zero
(which would allow userspace to set its SMT priority to high).

UAMOR is normally 0.  We restore it to 0 on guest exit to prevent
the AMR from being used as a covert channel between userspace
processes, since the AMR is not context-switched at present.

<content type='text'>
commit ca8efa1df1d15a1795a2da57f9f6aada6ed6b946 upstream.

This adds code to save the values of three SPRs (special-purpose
registers) used by userspace to control event-based branches (EBBs),
which are essentially interrupts that get delivered directly to
userspace.  These registers are loaded up with guest values when
entering the guest, and their values are saved when exiting the
guest, but we were not saving the host values and restoring them
before going back to userspace.

On POWER8 this would only affect userspace programs which explicitly
request the use of EBBs and also use the KVM_RUN ioctl, since the
only source of EBBs on POWER8 is the PMU, and there is an explicit
enable bit in the PMU registers (and those PMU registers do get
properly context-switched between host and guest).  On POWER9 there
is provision for externally-generated EBBs, and these are not subject
to the control in the PMU registers.

Since these registers only affect userspace, we can save them when
we first come in from userspace and restore them before returning to
userspace, rather than saving/restoring the host values on every
guest entry/exit.  Similarly, we don't need to worry about their
values on offline secondary threads since they execute in the context
of the idle task, which never executes in userspace.

<content type='text'>
commit 3d3efb68c19e539f0535c93a5258c1299270215f upstream.

POWER9 DD1 has an erratum where writing to the TBU40 register, which
is used to apply an offset to the timebase, can cause the timebase to
lose counts.  This results in the timebase on some CPUs getting out of
sync with other CPUs, which then results in misbehaviour of the
timekeeping code.

To work around the problem, we make KVM ignore the timebase offset for
all guests on POWER9 DD1 machines.  This means that live migration
cannot be supported on POWER9 DD1 machines.

<content type='text'>
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.

<id>urn:sha1:1e0d799688df53ceaecb1f09716466d0368b4a2a</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2f2724630f7a8d582470f03ee56b96746767d270 upstream.

POWER9 introduces a new mode for the decrementer register, called
large decrementer mode, in which the decrementer counter is 56 bits
wide rather than 32, and reads are sign-extended rather than
zero-extended.  For the decrementer, this new mode is optional and
controlled by a bit in the LPCR.  The hypervisor decrementer (HDEC)
is 56 bits wide on POWER9 and has no mode control.

Since KVM code reads and writes the decrementer and hypervisor
decrementer registers in a few places, it needs to be aware of the
need to treat the decrementer value as a 64-bit quantity, and only do
a 32-bit sign extension when large decrementer mode is not in effect.
Similarly, the HDEC should always be treated as a 64-bit quantity on
POWER9.  We define a new EXTEND_HDEC macro to encapsulate the feature
test for POWER9 and the sign extension.

To enable the sign extension to be removed in large decrementer mode,
we test the LPCR_LD bit in the host LPCR image stored in the struct
kvm for the guest.  If is set then large decrementer mode is enabled
and the sign extension should be skipped.

This is partly based on an earlier patch by Oliver O'Halloran.
