commit e297c939b745e420ef0b9dc989cb87bda617b399 upstream.

This fixes a race which can result in the same virtual IRQ number
being assigned to two different MSI interrupts.  The most visible
consequence of that is usually a warning and stack trace from the
sysfs code about an attempt to create a duplicate entry in sysfs.

The race happens when one CPU (say CPU 0) is disposing of an MSI
while another CPU (say CPU 1) is setting up an MSI.  CPU 0 calls
(for example) pnv_teardown_msi_irqs(), which calls
msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() to indicate that the MSI (i.e. its
hardware IRQ number) is no longer in use.  Then, before CPU 0 gets
to calling irq_dispose_mapping() to free up the virtal IRQ number,
CPU 1 comes in and calls msi_bitmap_alloc_hwirqs() to allocate an
MSI, and gets the same hardware IRQ number that CPU 0 just freed.
CPU 1 then calls irq_create_mapping() to get a virtual IRQ number,
which sees that there is currently a mapping for that hardware IRQ
number and returns the corresponding virtual IRQ number (which is
the same virtual IRQ number that CPU 0 was using).  CPU 0 then
calls irq_dispose_mapping() and frees that virtual IRQ number.
Now, if another CPU comes along and calls irq_create_mapping(), it
is likely to get the virtual IRQ number that was just freed,
resulting in the same virtual IRQ number apparently being used for
two different hardware interrupts.

To fix this race, we just move the call to msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs()
to after the call to irq_dispose_mapping().  Since virq_to_hw()
doesn't work for the virtual IRQ number after irq_dispose_mapping()
has been called, we need to call it before irq_dispose_mapping() and
remember the result for the msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() call.

The pattern of calling msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() before
irq_dispose_mapping() appears in 5 places under arch/powerpc, and
appears to have originated in commit 05af7bd2d75e ("[POWERPC] MPIC
U3/U4 MSI backend") from 2007.

commit 1c2cb594441d02815d304cccec9742ff5c707495 upstream.

The EPOW interrupt handler uses rtas_get_sensor(), which in turn
uses rtas_busy_delay() to wait for RTAS becoming ready in case it
is necessary. But rtas_busy_delay() is annotated with might_sleep()
and thus may not be used by interrupts handlers like the EPOW handler!
This leads to the following BUG when CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP is
enabled:

 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c:496

Fix this issue by introducing a new rtas_get_sensor_fast() function
that does not use rtas_busy_delay() - and thus can only be used for
sensors that do not cause a BUSY condition - known as "fast" sensors.

The EPOW sensor is defined to be "fast" in sPAPR - mpe.

<title>powerpc/mm: Fix pte_pagesize_index() crash on 4K w/64K hash</title>

commit 74b5037baa2011a2799e2c43adde7d171b072f9e upstream.

The powerpc kernel can be built to have either a 4K PAGE_SIZE or a 64K
PAGE_SIZE.

However when built with a 4K PAGE_SIZE there is an additional config
option which can be enabled, PPC_HAS_HASH_64K, which means the kernel
also knows how to hash a 64K page even though the base PAGE_SIZE is 4K.

This is used in one obscure configuration, to support 64K pages for SPU
local store on the Cell processor when the rest of the kernel is using
4K pages.

In this configuration, pte_pagesize_index() is defined to just pass
through its arguments to get_slice_psize(). However pte_pagesize_index()
is called for both user and kernel addresses, whereas get_slice_psize()
only knows how to handle user addresses.

This has been broken forever, however until recently it happened to
work. That was because in get_slice_psize() the large kernel address
would cause the right shift of the slice mask to return zero.

However in commit 7aa0727f3302 ("powerpc/mm: Increase the slice range to
64TB"), the get_slice_psize() code was changed so that instead of a
right shift we do an array lookup based on the address. When passed a
kernel address this means we index way off the end of the slice array
and return random junk.

That is only fatal if we happen to hit something non-zero, but when we
do return a non-zero value we confuse the MMU code and eventually cause
a check stop.

This fix is ugly, but simple. When we're called for a kernel address we
return 4K, which is always correct in this configuration, otherwise we
use the slice mask.

<title>signal: fix information leak in copy_siginfo_from_user32</title>

commit 3c00cb5e68dc719f2fc73a33b1b230aadfcb1309 upstream.

This function can leak kernel stack data when the user siginfo_t has a
positive si_code value.  The top 16 bits of si_code descibe which fields
in the siginfo_t union are active, but they are treated inconsistently
between copy_siginfo_from_user32, copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
copy_siginfo_to_user.

copy_siginfo_from_user32 is called from rt_sigqueueinfo and
rt_tgsigqueueinfo in which the user has full control overthe top 16 bits
of si_code.

This fixes the following information leaks:
x86:   8 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to
       itself. This leak grows to 16 bytes if the process uses x32.
       (si_code = __SI_CHLD)
x86:   100 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to
       a 64-bit process. (si_code = -1)
sparc: 4 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to a
       64-bit process. (si_code = any)

parsic and s390 have similar bugs, but they are not vulnerable because
rt_[tg]sigqueueinfo have checks that prevent sending a positive si_code
to a different process.  These bugs are also fixed for consistency.

commit 72e349f1124a114435e599479c9b8d14bfd1ebcd upstream.

When we take a PMU exception or a software event we call
perf_read_regs(). This overloads regs-&gt;result with a boolean that
describes if we should use the sampled instruction address register
(SIAR) or the regs.

If the exception is in kernel, we start with the kernel regs and
backtrace through the kernel stack. At this point we switch to the
userspace regs and backtrace the user stack with perf_callchain_user().

Unfortunately these regs have not got the perf_read_regs() treatment,
so regs-&gt;result could be anything. If it is non zero,
perf_instruction_pointer() decides to use the SIAR, and we get issues
like this:

0.11%  qemu-system-ppc  [kernel.kallsyms]        [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
       |
       ---_raw_spin_lock_irqsave

commit 72e349f1124a114435e599479c9b8d14bfd1ebcd upstream.

When we take a PMU exception or a software event we call
perf_read_regs(). This overloads regs-&gt;result with a boolean that
describes if we should use the sampled instruction address register
(SIAR) or the regs.

If the exception is in kernel, we start with the kernel regs and
backtrace through the kernel stack. At this point we switch to the
userspace regs and backtrace the user stack with perf_callchain_user().

Unfortunately these regs have not got the perf_read_regs() treatment,
so regs-&gt;result could be anything. If it is non zero,
perf_instruction_pointer() decides to use the SIAR, and we get issues
like this:

commit 5e95235ccd5442d4a4fe11ec4eb99ba1b7959368 upstream.

Recent toolchains force the TOC to be 256 byte aligned. We need
to enforce this alignment in our linker script, otherwise pointers
to our TOC variables (__toc_start, __prom_init_toc_start) could
be incorrect.

If they are bad, we die a few hundred instructions into boot.

<title>vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support</title>

commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.
