In eeh_rmv_device() also refactor a little so that only two calls to
eeh_pcid_put() are needed, rather than three and the reference isn't

commit 722cde76d68e8cc4f3de42e71c82fd40dea4f7b9 upstream.

Unregister fadump on kexec down path otherwise the fadump registration
in new kexec-ed kernel complains that fadump is already registered.
This makes new kernel to continue using fadump registered by previous
kernel which may lead to invalid vmcore generation. Hence this patch
fixes this issue by un-registering fadump in fadump_cleanup() which is
called during kexec path so that new kernel can register fadump with
new valid values.

commit cd6ef7eebf171bfcba7dc2df719c2a4958775040 upstream.

Back when we first introduced the DAWR, in commit 4ae7ebe9522a
("powerpc: Change hardware breakpoint to allow longer ranges"), we
screwed up the constraint making it a 1024 byte boundary rather than a
512. This makes the check overly permissive. Fortunately GDB is the
only real user and it always did they right thing, so we never
noticed.

This fixes the constraint to 512 bytes.

commit 4f7c06e26ec9cf7fe9f0c54dc90079b6a4f4b2c3 upstream.

In commit e2a800beaca1 ("powerpc/hw_brk: Fix off by one error when
validating DAWR region end") we fixed setting the DAWR end point to
its max value via PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG. Unfortunately we broke
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG when setting a 512 byte aligned breakpoint.

PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG currently sets the length of the breakpoint to
zero (memset() in hw_breakpoint_init()). This worked with
arch_validate_hwbkpt_settings() before the above patch was applied but
is now broken if the breakpoint is 512byte aligned.

This sets the length of the breakpoint to 8 bytes when using
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG.

<title>powerpc/mm/hash: Add missing isync prior to kernel stack SLB switch</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 91d06971881f71d945910de128658038513d1b24 upstream.

Currently we do not have an isync, or any other context synchronizing
instruction prior to the slbie/slbmte in _switch() that updates the
SLB entry for the kernel stack.

However that is not correct as outlined in the ISA.

From Power ISA Version 3.0B, Book III, Chapter 11, page 1133:

  "Changing the contents of ... the contents of SLB entries ... can
   have the side effect of altering the context in which data
   addresses and instruction addresses are interpreted, and in which
   instructions are executed and data accesses are performed.
   ...
   These side effects need not occur in program order, and therefore
   may require explicit synchronization by software.
   ...
   The synchronizing instruction before the context-altering
   instruction ensures that all instructions up to and including that
   synchronizing instruction are fetched and executed in the context
   that existed before the alteration."

And page 1136:

  "For data accesses, the context synchronizing instruction before the
   slbie, slbieg, slbia, slbmte, tlbie, or tlbiel instruction ensures
   that all preceding instructions that access data storage have
   completed to a point at which they have reported all exceptions
   they will cause."

We're not aware of any bugs caused by this, but it should be fixed
regardless.

Add the missing isync when updating kernel stack SLB entry.

<title>powerpc/64s: Add support for a store forwarding barrier at kernel entry/exit</title>

commit a048a07d7f4535baa4cbad6bc024f175317ab938 upstream.

On some CPUs we can prevent a vulnerability related to store-to-load
forwarding by preventing store forwarding between privilege domains,
by inserting a barrier in kernel entry and exit paths.

This is known to be the case on at least Power7, Power8 and Power9
powerpc CPUs.

Barriers must be inserted generally before the first load after moving
to a higher privilege, and after the last store before moving to a
lower privilege, HV and PR privilege transitions must be protected.

Barriers are added as patch sections, with all kernel/hypervisor entry
points patched, and the exit points to lower privilge levels patched
similarly to the RFI flush patching.

Firmware advertisement is not implemented yet, so CPU flush types
are hard coded.

Thanks to Michal Suchánek for bug fixes and review.

<title>powerpc/64s: Fix section mismatch warnings from setup_rfi_flush()</title>

<id>2149936d12894357af9f50cb3effb99f3b41b4ce</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 501a78cbc17c329fabf8e9750a1e9ab810c88a0e upstream.

The recent LPM changes to setup_rfi_flush() are causing some section
mismatch warnings because we removed the __init annotation on
setup_rfi_flush():

  The function setup_rfi_flush() references
  the function __init ppc64_bolted_size().
  the function __init memblock_alloc_base().

The references are actually in init_fallback_flush(), but that is
inlined into setup_rfi_flush().

These references are safe because:
 - only pseries calls setup_rfi_flush() at runtime
 - pseries always passes L1D_FLUSH_FALLBACK at boot
 - so the fallback flush area will always be allocated
 - so the check in init_fallback_flush() will always return early:
   /* Only allocate the fallback flush area once (at boot time). */
   if (l1d_flush_fallback_area)
   	return;

 - and therefore we won't actually call the freed init routines.

We should rework the code to make it safer by default rather than
relying on the above, but for now as a quick-fix just add a __ref
annotation to squash the warning.

commit 501a78cbc17c329fabf8e9750a1e9ab810c88a0e upstream.

The recent LPM changes to setup_rfi_flush() are causing some section
mismatch warnings because we removed the __init annotation on
setup_rfi_flush():

  The function setup_rfi_flush() references
  the function __init ppc64_bolted_size().
  the function __init memblock_alloc_base().

The references are actually in init_fallback_flush(), but that is
inlined into setup_rfi_flush().

These references are safe because:
 - only pseries calls setup_rfi_flush() at runtime
 - pseries always passes L1D_FLUSH_FALLBACK at boot
 - so the fallback flush area will always be allocated
 - so the check in init_fallback_flush() will always return early:
   /* Only allocate the fallback flush area once (at boot time). */
   if (l1d_flush_fallback_area)
   	return;

 - and therefore we won't actually call the freed init routines.

We should rework the code to make it safer by default rather than
relying on the above, but for now as a quick-fix just add a __ref
annotation to squash the warning.

commit e7347a86830f38dc3e40c8f7e28c04412b12a2e7 upstream.

This moves the definition of the default security feature flags
(i.e., enabled by default) closer to the security feature flags.

This can be used to restore current flags to the default flags.
