powerpc/sysfs: Disable writing to PURR in guest mode

2014-07-09T17:51:22+00:00

commit d1211af3049f4c9c1d8d4eb8f8098cc4f4f0d0c7 upstream.

arch/powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c exports PURR with write permission.
This may be valid for kernel in phyp mode. But writing to
the file in guest mode causes crash due to a priviledge violation

powerpc/pseries: Duplicate dtl entries sometimes sent to userspace

2014-07-09T17:51:22+00:00

commit 84b073868b9d9e754ae48b828337633d1b386482 upstream.

When reading from the dispatch trace log (dtl) userspace interface, I
sometimes see duplicate entries. One example:

# hexdump -C dtl.out

00000000  07 04 00 0c 00 00 48 44  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000010  00 0c a0 b4 16 83 6d 68  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000020  00 00 00 00 10 00 13 50  80 00 00 00 00 00 d0 32

00000030  07 04 00 0c 00 00 48 44  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000040  00 0c a0 b4 16 83 6d 68  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000050  00 00 00 00 10 00 13 50  80 00 00 00 00 00 d0 32

The problem is in scan_dispatch_log() where we call dtl_consumer()
but bail out before incrementing the index.

To fix this I moved dtl_consumer() after the timebase comparison.

powerpc/pseries/lparcfg: Fix possible overflow are more than 1026

2014-07-09T17:51:21+00:00

commit 5676005acf26ab7e924a8438ea4746e47d405762 upstream.

need set '\0' for 'local_buffer'.

SPLPAR_MAXLENGTH is 1026, RTAS_DATA_BUF_SIZE is 4096. so the contents of
rtas_data_buf may truncated in memcpy.

if contents are really truncated.
  the splpar_strlen is more than 1026. the next while loop checking will
  not find the end of buffer. that will cause memory access violation.

powerpc: Restore registers on error exit from csum_partial_copy_generic()

2014-07-09T17:51:21+00:00

commit 8f21bd0090052e740944f9397e2be5ac7957ded7 upstream.

The csum_partial_copy_generic() function saves the PowerPC non-volatile
r14, r15, and r16 registers for the main checksum-and-copy loop.
Unfortunately, it fails to restore them upon error exit from this loop,
which results in silent corruption of these registers in the presumably
rare event of an access exception within that loop.

This commit therefore restores these register on error exit from the loop.

powerpc: Don't Oops when accessing /proc/powerpc/lparcfg without hypervisor

2014-07-09T17:51:21+00:00

commit f5f6cbb61610b7bf9d9d96db9c3979d62a424bab upstream.

/proc/powerpc/lparcfg is an ancient facility (though still actively used)
which allows access to some informations relative to the partition when
running underneath a PAPR compliant hypervisor.

It makes no sense on non-pseries machines. However, currently, not only
can it be created on these if the kernel has pseries support, but accessing
it on such a machine will crash due to trying to do hypervisor calls.

In fact, it should also not do HV calls on older pseries that didn't have
an hypervisor either.

Finally, it has the plumbing to be a module but is a "bool" Kconfig option.

This fixes the whole lot by turning it into a machine_device_initcall
that is only created on pseries, and adding the necessary hypervisor
check before calling the H_GET_EM_PARMS hypercall

powerpc/smp: Section mismatch from smp_release_cpus to __initdata spinning_secondaries

2014-07-09T17:51:21+00:00

commit 8246aca7058f3f2c2ae503081777965cd8df7b90 upstream.

the smp_release_cpus is a normal funciton and called in normal environments,
  but it calls the __initdata spinning_secondaries.
  need modify spinning_secondaries to match smp_release_cpus.

the related warning:
  (the linker report boot_paca.33377, but it should be spinning_secondaries)

powerpc: Fix emulation of illegal instructions on PowerNV platform

2014-07-09T17:51:21+00:00

commit bf593907f7236e95698a76b7c7a2bbf8b1165327 upstream.

Normally, the kernel emulates a few instructions that are unimplemented
on some processors (e.g. the old dcba instruction), or privileged (e.g.
mfpvr).  The emulation of unimplemented instructions is currently not
working on the PowerNV platform.  The reason is that on these machines,
unimplemented and illegal instructions cause a hypervisor emulation
assist interrupt, rather than a program interrupt as on older CPUs.
Our vector for the emulation assist interrupt just calls
program_check_exception() directly, without setting the bit in SRR1
that indicates an illegal instruction interrupt.  This fixes it by
making the emulation assist interrupt set that bit before calling
program_check_interrupt().  With this, old programs that use no-longer
implemented instructions such as dcba now work again.

KVM: x86: preserve the high 32-bits of the PAT register

2014-07-09T17:51:20+00:00

commit 7cb060a91c0efc5ff94f83c6df3ed705e143cdb9 upstream.

KVM does not really do much with the PAT, so this went unnoticed for a
long time.  It is exposed however if you try to do rdmsr on the PAT
register.

KVM: x86: Increase the number of fixed MTRR regs to 10

commit 682367c494869008eb89ef733f196e99415ae862 upstream.

Recent Intel CPUs have 10 variable range MTRRs. Since operating systems
sometime make assumptions on CPUs while they ignore capability MSRs, it is
better for KVM to be consistent with recent CPUs. Reporting more MTRRs than
actually supported has no functional implications.

ARM: OMAP2+: Fix parser-bug in platform muxing code

2014-07-09T17:51:20+00:00

commit c021f241f4fab2bb4fc4120a38a828a03dd3f970 upstream.

Fix a parser-bug in the omap2 muxing code where muxtable-entries will be
wrongly selected if the requested muxname is a *prefix* of their
m0-entry and they have a matching mN-entry. Fix by additionally checking
that the length of the m0_entry is equal.

For example muxing of "dss_data2.dss_data2" on omap32xx will fail
because the prefix "dss_data2" will match the mux-entries "dss_data2" as
well as "dss_data20", with the suffix "dss_data2" matching m0 (for
dss_data2) and m4 (for dss_data20). Thus both are recognized as signal
path candidates:

Relevant muxentries from mux34xx.c:
        _OMAP3_MUXENTRY(DSS_DATA20, 90,
                "dss_data20", NULL, "mcspi3_somi", "dss_data2",
                "gpio_90", NULL, NULL, "safe_mode"),
        _OMAP3_MUXENTRY(DSS_DATA2, 72,
                "dss_data2", NULL, NULL, NULL,
                "gpio_72", NULL, NULL, "safe_mode"),

This will result in a failure to mux the pin at all:

 _omap_mux_get_by_name: Multiple signal paths (2) for dss_data2.dss_data2

Patch should apply to linus' latest master down to rather old linux-2.6
trees.
