<title>powerpc: xor_vmx: Add '-mhard-float' to CFLAGS</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 35f20786c481d5ced9283ff42de5c69b65e5ed13 upstream.

arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o is built with '-msoft-float' (from the main
powerpc Makefile) and '-maltivec' (from its CFLAGS), which causes an
error when building with clang after a recent change in main:

  error: option '-msoft-float' cannot be specified with '-maltivec'
  make[6]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:243: arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o] Error 1

Explicitly add '-mhard-float' before '-maltivec' in xor_vmx.o's CFLAGS
to override the previous inclusion of '-msoft-float' (as the last option
wins), which matches how other areas of the kernel use '-maltivec', such
as AMDGPU.

[ Upstream commit 8f9abaa6d7de0a70fc68acaedce290c1f96e2e59 ]

Some of the fp/vmx code in sstep.c assume a certain maximum size for the
instructions being emulated. The size of those operations however is
determined separately in analyse_instr().

Add a check to validate the assumption on the maximum size of the
operations, so as to prevent any unintended kernel stack corruption.

<title>powerpc: Use always instead of always-y in for crtsavres.o</title>

This commit is for linux-4.19.y only, it has no direct upstream
equivalent.

Prior to commit 5f2fb52fac15 ("kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to
hostprogs/always-y"), always-y did not exist, making the backport of
mainline commit 1b1e38002648 ("powerpc: add crtsavres.o to always-y
instead of extra-y") to linux-4.19.y as commit b7b85ec5ec15 ("powerpc:
add crtsavres.o to always-y instead of extra-y") incorrect, breaking the
build with linkers that need crtsavres.o:

  ld.lld: error: cannot open arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o: No such file or directory

Backporting the aforementioned kbuild commit is not suitable for stable
due to its size and number of conflicts, so transform the always-y usage
to an equivalent form using always, which resolves the build issues.

[ Upstream commit 1b1e38002648819c04773647d5242990e2824264 ]

crtsavres.o is linked to modules. However, as explained in commit
d0e628cd817f ("kbuild: doc: clarify the difference between extra-y
and always-y"), 'make modules' does not build extra-y.

For example, the following command fails:

  $ make ARCH=powerpc LLVM=1 KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN=1 mrproper ps3_defconfig modules
    [snip]
    LD [M]  arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/spufs.ko

commit 8219d31effa7be5dbc7ff915d7970672e028c701 upstream.

Building tinyconfig with gcc (Debian 11.2.0-16) and assembler (Debian
2.37.90.20220207) the following build error shows up:

  {standard input}: Assembler messages:
  {standard input}:10576: Error: unrecognized opcode: `stbcx.'
  {standard input}:10680: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lharx'
  {standard input}:10694: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lbarx'

Rework to add assembler directives [1] around the instruction.  The
problem with this might be that we can trick a power6 into
single-stepping through an stbcx. for instance, and it will execute that
in kernel mode.

commit a633cb1edddaa643fadc70abc88f89a408fa834a upstream.

Looks like there been a copy paste mistake when added the instruction
'stbcx' twice and one was probably meant to be 'sthcx'. Changing to
'sthcx' from 'stbcx'.

commit fe663df7825811358531dc2e8a52d9eaa5e3515e upstream.

Building tinyconfig with gcc (Debian 11.2.0-16) and assembler (Debian
2.37.90.20220207) the following build error shows up:

  {standard input}: Assembler messages:
  {standard input}:2088: Error: unrecognized opcode: `ptesync'
  make[3]: *** [/builds/linux/scripts/Makefile.build:287: arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.o] Error 1

Add the 'ifdef CONFIG_PPC64' around the 'ptesync' in function
'emulate_update_regs()' to like it is in 'analyse_instr()'. Since it looks like
it got dropped inadvertently by commit 3cdfcbfd32b9 ("powerpc: Change
analyse_instr so it doesn't modify *regs").

A key detail is that analyse_instr() will never recognise lwsync or
ptesync on 32-bit (because of the existing ifdef), and as a result
emulate_update_regs() should never be called with an op specifying
either of those on 32-bit. So removing them from emulate_update_regs()
should be a nop in terms of runtime behaviour.

<content type='text'>
commit bba496656a73fc1d1330b49c7f82843836e9feb1 upstream.

Boot fails with GCC latent entropy plugin enabled.

This is due to early boot functions trying to access 'latent_entropy'
global data while the kernel is not relocated at its final
destination yet.

As there is no way to tell GCC to use PTRRELOC() to access it,
disable latent entropy plugin in early_32.o and feature-fixups.o and
code-patching.o
