commit 6d98ce0be541d4a3cfbb52cd75072c0339ebb500 upstream.

We concluded there may be a window where the idle wakeup code could get
to pnv_wakeup_tb_loss() (which clobbers non-volatile GPRs), but the
hardware may set SRR1[46:47] to 01b (no state loss) which would result
in the wakeup code failing to restore non-volatile GPRs.

I was not able to trigger this condition with trivial tests on real
hardware or simulator, but the ISA (at least 2.07) seems to allow for
it, and Gautham says that it can happen if there is an exception pending
when the sleep/winkle instruction is executed.

<title>powerpc/64: Fix race condition in setting lock bit in idle/wakeup code</title>

<content type='text'>
This fixes a race condition where one thread that is entering or
leaving a power-saving state can inadvertently ignore the lock bit
that was set by another thread, and potentially also clear it.
The core_idle_lock_held function is called when the lock bit is
seen to be set.  It polls the lock bit until it is clear, then
does a lwarx to load the word containing the lock bit and thread
idle bits so it can be updated.  However, it is possible that the
value loaded with the lwarx has the lock bit set, even though an
immediately preceding lwz loaded a value with the lock bit clear.
If this happens then we go ahead and update the word despite the
lock bit being set, and when called from pnv_enter_arch207_idle_mode,
we will subsequently clear the lock bit.

No identifiable misbehaviour has been attributed to this race.

This fixes it by checking the lock bit in the value loaded by the
lwarx.  If it is set then we just go back and keep on polling.

<title>powerpc/64: Re-fix race condition between going idle and entering guest</title>

Commit 8117ac6a6c2f ("powerpc/powernv: Switch off MMU before entering
nap/sleep/rvwinkle mode", 2014-12-10) fixed a race condition where one
thread entering a KVM guest could switch the MMU context to the guest
while another thread was still in host kernel context with the MMU on.
That commit moved the point where a thread entering a power-saving
mode set its kvm_hstate.hwthread_state field in its PACA to
KVM_HWTHREAD_IN_IDLE from a point where the MMU was on to after the
MMU had been switched off.  That commit also added a comment
explaining that we have to switch to real mode before setting
hwthread_state to avoid this race.

Nevertheless, commit 4eae2c9ae54a ("powerpc/powernv: Make
pnv_powersave_common more generic", 2016-07-08) subsequently moved
the setting of hwthread_state back to a point where the MMU is on,
thus reintroducing the race, despite the comment saying that this
should not be done being included in full in the context lines of
the patch that did it.

This fixes the race again and adds a bigger and shoutier comment
explaining the potential race condition.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Fix restore of SPRs upon wake up from hypervisor state loss</title>

<id>bd00a240dc52e28706fbbe3aceda63e6c291b433</id>
<content type='text'>
pnv_wakeup_tb_loss() currently expects cr4 to be "eq" if the CPU is
waking up from a complete hypervisor state loss. Hence, it currently
restores the SPR contents only if cr4 is "eq".

However, after commit bcef83a00dc4 ("powerpc/powernv: Add platform
support for stop instruction"), on ISA v3.0 CPUs, the function
pnv_restore_hyp_resource() sets cr4 to contain the result of the
comparison between the state the CPU has woken up from and the first
deep stop state before calling pnv_wakeup_tb_loss().

Thus if the CPU woke up from a state that is deeper than the first
deep stop state, cr4 will have "gt" set and hence, pnv_wakeup_tb_loss()
will fail to restore the SPRs on waking up from such a state.

Fix the code in pnv_wakeup_tb_loss() to restore the SPR states when cr4
is "eq" or "gt".

<title>powerpc/powernv: Load correct TOC pointer while waking up from winkle.</title>

<id>e325d76f8bd2d222a1f577aba00dfb43cece4cbc</id>

The function pnv_restore_hyp_resource() loads the TOC into r2 from
the invalid PACA pointer before fixing r13 value. This do not affect
POWER ISA 3.0 but it does have an impact on POWER ISA 2.07 or less
leading CPU to get stuck forever.

	login: [  471.830433] Processor 120 is stuck.

This can be easily reproducible using following steps:
- Turn off SMT
	$ ppc64_cpu --smt=off
- offline/online any online cpu (Thread 0 of any core which is online)
	$ echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu&lt;num&gt;/online
	$ echo 1 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu&lt;num&gt;/online

For POWER ISA 2.07 or less, the last bit of HSPRG0 is set indicating
that thread is waking up from winkle. Hence, the last bit of HSPRG0(r13)
needs to be clear before accessing it as PACA to avoid loading invalid
values from invalid PACA pointer.

Fix this by loading TOC after r13 register is corrected.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:

 - ARM: GICv3 ITS emulation and various fixes.  Removal of the
   old VGIC implementation.

 - s390: support for trapping software breakpoints, nested
   virtualization (vSIE), the STHYI opcode, initial extensions
   for CPU model support.

 - MIPS: support for MIPS64 hosts (32-bit guests only) and lots
   of cleanups, preliminary to this and the upcoming support for
   hardware virtualization extensions.

 - x86: support for execute-only mappings in nested EPT; reduced
   vmexit latency for TSC deadline timer (by about 30%) on Intel
   hosts; support for more than 255 vCPUs.

 - PPC: bugfixes.

<title>powerpc/mm: Make MMU_FTR_RADIX a MMU family feature</title>

MMU feature bits are defined such that we use the lower half to
present MMU family features. Remove the strict split of half and
also move Radix to a mmu family feature. Radix introduce a new MMU
model and strictly speaking it is a new MMU family. This also free
up bits which can be used for individual features later.

Replace the old generic opal_call_realmode() with proper per-call
wrappers similar to the normal ones and convert callers.
