powerpc/Makefile: Fix ld version check with 64-bit LE-only toolchain
powerpc/pseries: Fix of_node_put() underflow during reconfig remove
powerpc/mm/radix: Workaround prefetch issue with KVM
In commit efe0160cfd ("powerpc/64: Linker on-demand sfpr functions
for modules"), we added an ld version check early in the powerpc
top-level Makefile.
Because the Makefile runs before the kernel config is setup, the
checks for CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN etc. all take the default case. So
we end up configuring ld for 32-bit big endian.
That would be OK, except that for historical (or perhaps no) reason,
we use 'override LD' to add the endian flags to the LD variable
itself, rather than the normal approach of adding them to LDFLAGS.
The end result is that when we check the ld version we run it as:
$(CROSS_COMPILE)ld -EB -m elf32ppc --version
This often works, unless you are using a 64-bit only and/or little
endian only, toolchain. In which case you see something like:
$ make defconfig
powerpc64le-linux-ld: unrecognised emulation mode: elf32ppc
Supported emulations: elf64lppc elf32lppc elf32lppclinux elf32lppcsim
/bin/sh: 1: [: -ge: unexpected operator
The proper fix is to stop using 'override LD', but that will require a
fair bit of testing. Instead we can fix it for now just by reordering
the Makefile to do the version check earlier.

As for commit 68baf692c4 ("powerpc/pseries: Fix of_node_put()
underflow during DLPAR remove"), the call to of_node_put() must be
removed from pSeries_reconfig_remove_node().
dlpar_detach_node() and pSeries_reconfig_remove_node() both call
of_detach_node(), and thus the node should not be released in both
cases.

There's a somewhat architectural issue with Radix MMU and KVM.
When coming out of a guest with AIL (Alternate Interrupt Location, ie,
MMU enabled), we start executing hypervisor code with the PID register
still containing whatever the guest has been using.
The problem is that the CPU can (and will) then start prefetching or
speculatively load from whatever host context has that same PID (if
any), thus bringing translations for that context into the TLB, which
Linux doesn't know about.
This can cause stale translations and subsequent crashes.
Fixing this in a way that is neither racy nor a huge performance
impact is difficult. We could just make the host invalidations always
use broadcast forms but that would hurt single threaded programs for
example.
We chose to fix it instead by partitioning the PID space between guest
and host. This is possible because today Linux only use 19 out of the
20 bits of PID space, so existing guests will work if we make the host
use the top half of the 20 bits space.
We additionally add support for a property to indicate to Linux the
size of the PID register which will be useful if we eventually have
processors with a larger PID space available.
There is still an issue with malicious guests purposefully setting the
PID register to a value in the hosts PID range. Hopefully future HW
can prevent that, but in the meantime, we handle it with a pair of
kludges:
- On the way out of a guest, before we clear the current VCPU in the
PACA, we check the PID and if it's outside of the permitted range
we flush the TLB for that PID.
- When context switching, if the mm is "new" on that CPU (the
corresponding bit was set for the first time in the mm cpumask), we
check if any sibling thread is in KVM (has a non-NULL VCPU pointer
in the PACA). If that is the case, we also flush the PID for that
CPU (core).
This second part is needed to handle the case where a process is
migrated (or starts a new pthread) on a sibling thread of the CPU
coming out of KVM, as there's a window where stale translations can
exist before we detect it and flush them out.
A future optimization could be added by keeping track of whether the
PID has ever been used and avoid doing that for completely fresh PIDs.
We could similarily mark PIDs that have been the subject of a global
invalidation as "fresh". But for now this will do.

Commit f98a8bf9ee ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB
ioctl() to change HPT size", 2016-12-20) changed the behaviour of
the KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl so that it now allocates a new HPT
and new revmap array if there was a previously-allocated HPT of a
different size from the size being requested. In this case, we need
to reset the rmap arrays of the memslots, because the rmap arrays
will contain references to HPTEs which are no longer valid. Worse,
these references are also references to slots in the new revmap
array (which parallels the HPT), and the new revmap array contains
random contents, since it doesn't get zeroed on allocation.
The effect of having these stale references to slots in the revmap
array that contain random contents is that subsequent calls to
functions such as kvmppc_add_revmap_chain will crash because they
will interpret the non-zero contents of the revmap array as HPTE
indexes and thus index outside of the revmap array. This leads to
host crashes such as the following.

Note that to trigger this, it is necessary to use a recent upstream
QEMU (or other userspace that resizes the HPT at CAS time), specify
a maximum memory size substantially larger than the current memory
size, and boot a guest kernel that does not support HPT resizing.
This fixes the problem by resetting the rmap arrays when the old HPT
is freed.

Mike Galbraith reported a situation where a WARN_ON_ONCE() call in DRM
code turned into an oops. As it turns out, WARN_ON_ONCE() seems to be
completely broken when called from a module.
The bug was introduced with the following commit:
19d436268d ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()")
That commit changed WARN_ON_ONCE() to move its 'once' logic into the bug
trap handler. It requires a writable bug table so that the BUGFLAG_DONE
bit can be written to the flags to indicate the first warning has
occurred.
The bug table was made writable for vmlinux, which relies on
vmlinux.lds.S and vmlinux.lds.h for laying out the sections. However,
it wasn't made writable for modules, which rely on the ELF section
header flags.

executable after init, which is bad.
Add a hook to mark it NX (no-execute) before we free it, and implement
it for radix and hash.
Note that we use __init_end as the end address, not _einittext,
because overlaps_kernel_text() uses __init_end, because there are
additional executable sections other than .init.text between

Move the core logic into a helper, so we can use it for changing other
permissions.
We also change the logic to align start down, and end up. This means
calling the function with a range will expand that range to be at
least 1 mmu_linear_psize page in size. We need that so we can use it
on __init_begin ... __init_end which is not a full page in size.
This should always work for _stext/__init_begin, because we align

CPUs at boot.
These flags only work on Power9 firmwares, and worse can cause boot
failures on Power8 machines, so we check for CPU_FTR_ARCH_300 (aka POWER9)
before adding the extra flags.
Unfortunately we forgot that opal_configure_cores() is called before
the CPU feature checks are dynamically patched, meaning the check
always returns true.
We definitely need to do something to make the CPU feature checks less
prone to bugs like this, but for now the minimal fix is to use
early_cpu_has_feature().

__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to
the page allocator. This has been true but only for allocations
requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. It has been always
ignored for smaller sizes. This is a bit unfortunate because there is
no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are
considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the
page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests.
Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled
usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can
give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful
semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user
that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a
success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the
default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of
guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example)
- GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_
attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even
doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because
it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more
aggressive reclaim
- GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic
allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current
context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below
the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when
the request is a performance optimization and there is another
fallback for a slow path.
- (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) -
non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access
some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh
context with an expensive slow path fallback.
- GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the
_default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly
allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of
that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers
(e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently).
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior
and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive
reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer
is not invoked.
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator
behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request
will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer
won't be triggered.
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior
and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed.
This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders.
Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
because they already had their semantic. No new users are added.
__alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if
there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point.
This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except
the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback
behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

This adds support for compiling with a rough equivalent to the glibc
_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 feature, providing compile-time and runtime buffer
overflow checks for string.h functions when the compiler determines the
size of the source or destination buffer at compile-time. Unlike glibc,
it covers buffer reads in addition to writes.
GNU C __builtin_*_chk intrinsics are avoided because they would force a
much more complex implementation. They aren't designed to detect read
overflows and offer no real benefit when using an implementation based
on inline checks. Inline checks don't add up to much code size and
allow full use of the regular string intrinsics while avoiding the need
for a bunch of _chk functions and per-arch assembly to avoid wrapper
overhead.
This detects various overflows at compile-time in various drivers and
some non-x86 core kernel code. There will likely be issues caught in
regular use at runtime too.
Future improvements left out of initial implementation for simplicity,
as it's all quite optional and can be done incrementally:
* Some of the fortified string functions (strncpy, strcat), don't yet
place a limit on reads from the source based on __builtin_object_size of
the source buffer.
* Extending coverage to more string functions like strlcat.
* It should be possible to optionally use __builtin_object_size(x, 1) for
some functions (C strings) to detect intra-object overflows (like
glibc's _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2), but for now this takes the conservative
approach to avoid likely compatibility issues.
* The compile-time checks should be made available via a separate config
option which can be enabled by default (or always enabled) once enough
time has passed to get the issues it catches fixed.
Kees said:
"This is great to have. While it was out-of-tree code, it would have
blocked at least CVE-2016-3858 from being exploitable (improper size
argument to strlcpy()). I've sent a number of fixes for
out-of-bounds-reads that this detected upstream already"

Testing the fortified string functions[1] would cause a kernel panic on
boot in test_feature_fixups() due to a buffer overflow in memcmp.
This boils down to things like this:
extern unsigned int ftr_fixup_test1;
extern unsigned int ftr_fixup_test1_orig;
check(memcmp(&ftr_fixup_test1, &ftr_fixup_test1_orig, size) == 0);
We know that these are asm labels so it is safe to read up to 'size'
bytes at those addresses.
However, because we have passed the address of a single unsigned int to
memcmp, the compiler believes the underlying object is in fact a single
unsigned int. So if size > sizeof(unsigned int), there will be a panic
at runtime.
We can fix this by changing the types: instead of calling the asm labels
unsigned ints, call them unsigned int[]s. Therefore the size isn't
incorrectly determined at compile time and we get a regular unsafe
memcmp and no panic.

Implement an arch-speicfic watchdog rather than use the perf-based
hardlockup detector.
The new watchdog takes the soft-NMI directly, rather than going through
perf. Perf interrupts are to be made maskable in future, so that would
prevent the perf detector from working in those regions.
Additionally, implement a SMP based detector where all CPUs watch one
another by pinging a shared cpumask. This is because powerpc Book3S
does not have a true periodic local NMI, but some platforms do implement
a true NMI IPI.
If a CPU is stuck with interrupts hard disabled, the soft-NMI watchdog
does not work, but the SMP watchdog will. Even on platforms without a
true NMI IPI to get a good trace from the stuck CPU, other CPUs will
notice the lockup sufficiently to report it and panic.

Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split
HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR.
LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming
interfaces for the lockup detectors.
An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.
Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the
minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and
does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces.
sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the
interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

Although it's not documented anywhere, there is an expectation that
atomic64_inc_not_zero() returns a result which fits in an int. This is
the behaviour implemented on all arches except powerpc.
This has caused at least one bug in practice, in the percpu-refcount
code, where the long result from our atomic64_inc_not_zero() was
truncated to an int leading to lost references and stuck systems. That
was worked around in that code in commit 966d2b04e0 ("percpu-refcount:
fix reference leak during percpu-atomic transition").
To the best of my grepping abilities there are no other callers
in-tree which truncate the value, but we should fix it anyway. Because
the breakage is subtle and potentially very harmful I'm also tagging
it for stable.
Code generation is largely unaffected because in most cases the
callers are just using the result for a test anyway. In particular the
case of fget() that was mentioned in commit a6cf7ed511
("powerpc/atomic: Implement atomic*_inc_not_zero") generates exactly
the same code.

There are two cases outside the normal address space management
where a CPU's local TLB is to be flushed:
1. Host boot; in case something has left stale entries in the
TLB (e.g., kexec).
2. Machine check; to clean corrupted TLB entries.
CPU state restore from deep idle states also flushes the TLB.
However this seems to be a side effect of reusing the boot code to set
CPU state, rather than a requirement itself.
The current flushing has a number of problems with ISA v3.0B:
- The current radix mode of the MMU is not taken into account. tlbiel
is undefined if the R field does not match the current radix mode.
- ISA v3.0B hash must flush the partition and process table caches.
- ISA v3.0B radix must flush partition and process scoped translations,
partition and process table caches, and also the page walk cache.
Add POWER9 cases to handle these, with radix vs hash determined by the
host MMU mode.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"libnvdimm updates for the latest ACPI and UEFI specifications. This
pull request also includes new 'struct dax_operations' enabling to
undo the abuse of copy_user_nocache() for copy operations to pmem.
The dax work originally missed 4.12 to address concerns raised by Al.
Summary:
- Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use
them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The
_flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed
for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy
operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush).
- Extend dax_operations with ->copy_from_iter() and ->flush()
operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow
all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into
libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific
sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example:
/sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache
- Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms
introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2
namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub
command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT
(block-translation-table) layout. These updates support inter-OS
and pre-OS compatibility.
- Fix a longstanding memory corruption bug in nfit_test.
- Make the pmem and nvdimm-region 'badblocks' sysfs files poll(2)
capable.
- Miscellaneous fixes and small updates across libnvdimm and the nfit
driver.
