[Note this patch is not upstream. The bug fix was fixed differently in
upstream prior to the bug being identified.]

The SLB miss handler calls slb_allocate_realmode() in order to create an
SLB entry for the faulting address. At the very start of that function
we check that the faulting Effective Address (EA) is less than
PGTABLE_RANGE (ignoring the region), ie. is it an address which could
possibly fit in the virtual address space.

For an EA which fails that test, we branch out of line (to label 8), but
we still go on to create an SLB entry for the address. The SLB entry we
create has a VSID of 0, which means it will never match anything in the
hash table and so can't actually translate to a physical address.

However that SLB entry will be inserted in the SLB, and so needs to be
managed properly like any other SLB entry. In particular we need to
insert the SLB entry in the SLB cache, so that it will be flushed when
the process is descheduled.

And that is where the bugs begin. The first bug is that slb_finish_load()
uses cr7 to decide if it should insert the SLB entry into the SLB cache.
When we come from the invalid EA case we don't set cr7, it just has some
junk value from userspace. So we may or may not insert the SLB entry in
the SLB cache. If we fail to insert it, we may then incorrectly leave it
in the SLB when the process is descheduled.

The second bug is that even if we do happen to add the entry to the SLB
cache, we do not have enough bits in the SLB cache to remember the full
ESID value for very large EAs.

For example if a process branches to 0x788c545a18000000, that results in
a 256MB SLB entry with an ESID of 0x788c545a1. But each entry in the SLB
cache is only 32-bits, meaning we truncate the ESID to 0x88c545a1. This
has the same effect as the first bug, we incorrectly leave the SLB entry
in the SLB when the process is descheduled.

When a process accesses an invalid EA it results in a SEGV signal being
sent to the process, which typically results in the process being
killed. Process death isn't instantaneous however, the process may catch
the SEGV signal and continue somehow, or the kernel may start writing a
core dump for the process, either of which means it's possible for the
process to be preempted while its processing the SEGV but before it's
been killed.

If that happens, when the process is scheduled back onto the CPU we will
allocate a new SLB entry for the NIP, which will insert a second entry
into the SLB for the bad EA. Because we never flushed the original
entry, due to either bug one or two, we now have two SLB entries that
match the same EA.

If another access is made to that EA, either by the process continuing
after catching the SEGV, or by a second process accessing the same bad
EA on the same CPU, we will trigger an SLB multi-hit machine check
exception. This has been observed happening in the wild.

The fix is when we hit the invalid EA case, we mark the SLB cache as
being full. This causes us to not insert the truncated ESID into the SLB
cache, and means when the process is switched out we will flush the
entire SLB. Note that this works both for the original fault and for a
subsequent call to slb_allocate_realmode() from switch_slb().

Because we mark the SLB cache as full, it doesn't really matter what
value is in cr7, but rather than leaving it as something random we set
it to indicate the address was a kernel address. That also skips the
attempt to insert it in the SLB cache which is a nice side effect.

Another way to fix the bug would be to make the entries in the SLB cache
wider, so that we don't truncate the ESID. However this would be a more
intrusive change as it alters the size and layout of the paca.

This bug was fixed in upstream by commit f0f558b131db ("powerpc/mm:
Preserve CFAR value on SLB miss caused by access to bogus address"),
which changed the way we handle a bad EA entirely removing this bug in
the process.

<title>mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas</title>

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

commit 88b1bf7268f56887ca88eb09c6fb0f4fc970121a upstream.

Commit 4c6d9acce1f4 ("powerpc/mm: Add hooks for cxl") converted local
TLB invalidates to global if the cxl driver is active. This is necessary
because the CAPP snoops invalidations to forward them to the PSL on the
cxl adapter. However one path was forgotten. native_flush_hash_range()
still does local TLB invalidates, as found out the hard way recently.

This patch fixes it by following the same logic as previously: if the
cxl driver is active, the local TLB invalidates are 'upgraded' to
global.

commit d2cf909cda5f8c5609cb7ed6cda816c3e15528c7 upstream.

If a cxl adapter faults on an invalid address for a kernel context, we
may enter copro_calculate_slb() with a NULL mm pointer (kernel
context) and an effective address which looks like a user
address. Which will cause a crash when dereferencing mm. It is clearly
an AFU bug, but there's no reason to crash either. So return an error,
so that cxl can ack the interrupt with an address error.

commit f077aaf0754bcba0fffdbd925bc12f09cd1e38aa upstream.

In commit c60ac5693c47 ("powerpc: Update kernel VSID range", 2013-03-13)
we lost a check on the region number (the top four bits of the effective
address) for addresses below PAGE_OFFSET.  That commit replaced a check
that the top 18 bits were all zero with a check that bits 46 - 59 were
zero (performed for all addresses, not just user addresses).

This means that userspace can access an address like 0x1000_0xxx_xxxx_xxxx
and we will insert a valid SLB entry for it.  The VSID used will be the
same as if the top 4 bits were 0, but the page size will be some random
value obtained by indexing beyond the end of the mm_ctx_high_slices_psize
array in the paca.  If that page size is the same as would be used for
region 0, then userspace just has an alias of the region 0 space.  If the
page size is different, then no HPTE will be found for the access, and
the process will get a SIGSEGV (since hash_page_mm() will refuse to create
a HPTE for the bogus address).

The access beyond the end of the mm_ctx_high_slices_psize can be at most
5.5MB past the array, and so will be in RAM somewhere.  Since the access
is a load performed in real mode, it won't fault or crash the kernel.
At most this bug could perhaps leak a little bit of information about
blocks of 32 bytes of memory located at offsets of i * 512kB past the
paca-&gt;mm_ctx_high_slices_psize array, for 1 &lt;= i &lt;= 11.

commit 08a5bb2921e490939f78f38fd0d02858bb709942 upstream.

hugepd_free() used __get_cpu_var() once. Nothing ensured that the code
accessing the variable did not migrate from one CPU to another and soon
this was noticed by Tiejun Chen in 94b09d755462 ("powerpc/hugetlb:
Replace __get_cpu_var with get_cpu_var"). So we had it fixed.

Christoph Lameter was doing his __get_cpu_var() replaces and forgot
PowerPC. Then he noticed this and sent his fixed up batch again which
got applied as 69111bac42f5 ("powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses").

The careful reader will noticed one little detail: get_cpu_var() got
replaced with this_cpu_ptr(). So now we have a put_cpu_var() which does
a preempt_enable() and nothing that does preempt_disable() so we
underflow the preempt counter.

<title>arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c: do not allocate bootmem memory for non existing nodes</title>

<id>c118baf802562688d46e6002f2b5fe66b947da21</id>
<content type='text'>
With the setup_nr_nodes(), we have already initialized
node_possible_map.  So it is safe to use for_each_node here.

There are many places in the kernel that use hardcoded 'for' loop with
nr_node_ids, because all other architectures have numa nodes populated
serially.  That should be reason we had maintained the same for
powerpc.

But, since sparse numa node ids possible on powerpc, we unnecessarily
allocate memory for non existent numa nodes.

For e.g., on a system with 0,1,16,17 as numa nodes nr_node_ids=18 and
we allocate memory for nodes 2-14.  This patch we allocate memory for
only existing numa nodes.

The patch is boot tested on a 4 node tuleta, confirming with printks
that it works as expected.

<title>powerpc/e6500: hw tablewalk: make sure we invalidate and write to the same tlb entry</title>

In order to workaround Erratum A-008139, we have to invalidate the
tlb entry with tlbilx before overwriting. Due to the performance
consideration, we don't add any memory barrier when acquire/release
the tcd lock. This means the two load instructions for esel_next do
have the possibility to return different value. This is definitely
not acceptable due to the Erratum A-008139. We have two options to
fix this issue:
  a) Add memory barrier when acquire/release tcd lock to order the
     load/store to esel_next.
  b) Just make sure to invalidate and write to the same tlb entry and
     tolerate the race that we may get the wrong value and overwrite
     the tlb entry just updated by the other thread.

We observe better performance using option b. So reserve an additional
register to save the value of the esel_next.

This is required for kdump to work when loaded at at an address that
does not fall within the first TLB entry -- which can easily happen
because while the lower limit is enforced via reserved memory, which
doesn't affect how much is mapped, the upper limit is enforced via a
different mechanism that does.  Thus, more TLB entries are needed than
would normally be used, as the total memory to be mapped might not be a
power of two.
