Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
 "Some more powerpc fixes for 4.14.

  This is bigger than I like to send at rc7, but that's at least partly
  because I didn't send any fixes last week. If it wasn't for the IMC
  driver, which is new and getting heavy testing, the diffstat would
  look a bit better. I've also added ftrace on big endian to my test
  suite, so we shouldn't break that again in future.

   - A fix to the handling of misaligned paste instructions (P9 only),
     where a change to a #define has caused the check for the
     instruction to always fail.

   - The preempt handling was unbalanced in the radix THP flush (P9
     only). Though we don't generally use preempt we want to keep it
     working as much as possible.

   - Two fixes for IMC (P9 only), one when booting with restricted
     number of CPUs and one in the error handling when initialisation
     fails due to firmware etc.

   - A revert to fix function_graph on big endian machines, and then a
     rework of the reverted patch to fix kprobes blacklist handling on
     big endian machines.

  Thanks to: Anju T Sudhakar, Guilherme G. Piccoli, Madhavan Srinivasan,
  Naveen N. Rao, Nicholas Piggin, Paul Mackerras"

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

This makes the changes introduced in commit 83e840c770f2c5
("powerpc64/elfv1: Only dereference function descriptor for non-text
symbols") to be specific to the kprobe subsystem.

We previously changed ppc_function_entry() to always check the provided
address to confirm if it needed to be dereferenced. This is actually
only an issue for kprobe blacklisted asm labels (through use of
_ASM_NOKPROBE_SYMBOL) and can cause other issues with ftrace. Also, the
additional checks are not really necessary for our other uses.

As such, move this check to the kprobes subsystem.

matches no instructions.

This fixes it by ANDing both sides of the comparison with the mask.

While running stress test with livepatch module loaded, kernel bug was
triggered.

When an interrupt occurs during the livepatch_handler execution, it's
possible for the livepatch_stack and/or thread_info to be corrupted.
eg:

  Task A                        Interrupt Handler
  =========                     =================
  livepatch_handler:
  mr r0, r1
  ld r1, TI_livepatch_sp(r12)
                                hardware_interrupt_common:
                                  do_IRQ+0x8:
                                    mflr    r0          &lt;- saved stack pointer is overwritten
                                    bl      _mcount
                                    ...
                                    std     r27,-40(r1) &lt;- overwrite of thread_info()

  lis r2, STACK_END_MAGIC@h
  ori r2, r2, STACK_END_MAGIC@l
  ld  r12, -8(r1)

Fix the corruption by using r11 register for livepatch stack
manipulation, instead of shuffling task stack and livepatch stack into
r1 register. Using r11 register also avoids disabling/enabling irq's
while setting up the livepatch stack.

Pull watchddog clean-up and fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The watchdog (hard/softlockup detector) code is pretty much broken in
  its current state. The patch series addresses this by removing all
  duct tape and refactoring it into a workable state.

  The reasons why I ask for inclusion that late in the cycle are:

   1) The code causes lockdep splats vs. hotplug locking which get
      reported over and over. Unfortunately there is no easy fix.

   2) The risk of breakage is minimal because it's already broken

   3) As 4.14 is a long term stable kernel, I prefer to have working
      watchdog code in that and the lockdep issues resolved. I wouldn't
      ask you to pull if 4.14 wouldn't be a LTS kernel or if the
      solution would be easy to backport.

   4) The series was around before the merge window opened, but then got
      delayed due to the UP failure caused by the for_each_cpu()
      surprise which we discussed recently.

  Changes vs. V1:

   - Addressed your review points

   - Addressed the warning in the powerpc code which was discovered late

   - Changed two function names which made sense up to a certain point
     in the series. Now they match what they do in the end.

   - Fixed a 'unused variable' warning, which got not detected by the
     intel robot. I triggered it when trying all possible related config
     combinations manually. Randconfig testing seems not random enough.

  The changes have been tested by and reviewed by Don Zickus and tested
  and acked by Micheal Ellerman for powerpc"

<title>powerpc/tm: Fix illegal TM state in signal handler</title>
<updated>2017-10-06T11:12:55+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=044215d145a7a8a60ffa8fdc859d110a795fa6ea'/>
<id>044215d145a7a8a60ffa8fdc859d110a795fa6ea</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently it's possible that on returning from the signal handler
through the restore_tm_sigcontexts() code path (e.g. from a signal
caught due to a `trap` instruction executed in the middle of an HTM
block, or a deliberately constructed sigframe) an illegal TM state
(like TS=10 TM=0, i.e. "T0") is set in SRR1 and when `rfid` sets
implicitly the MSR register from SRR1 register on return to userspace
it causes a TM Bad Thing exception.

That illegal state can be set (a) by a malicious user that disables
the TM bit by tweaking the bits in uc_mcontext before returning from
the signal handler or (b) by a sufficient number of context switches
occurring such that the load_tm counter overflows and TM is disabled
whilst in the signal handler.

This commit fixes the illegal TM state by ensuring that TM bit is
always enabled before we return from restore_tm_sigcontexts(). A small
comment correction is made as well.
