<id>urn:sha1:5a0fcb0ef5584caf7da3f31896e08650c532e4c1</id>
<content type='text'>
Remove the cxl driver that provides support for the IBM Coherent
Accelerator Processor Interface. Revert or clean up associated code in
arch/powerpc that is no longer necessary.

cxl has received minimal maintenance for several years, and is not
supported on the Power10 processor. We aren't aware of any users who are
likely to be using recent kernels.

Thanks to Mikey Neuling, Ian Munsie, Daniel Axtens, Frederic Barrat,
Christophe Lombard, Philippe Bergheaud, Vaibhav Jain and Alastair
D'Silva for their work on this driver over the years.

The sysfs core now allows instances of 'struct bin_attribute' to be
moved into read-only memory. Make use of that to protect them against
accidental or malicious modifications.

<content type='text'>
This 'struct kobj_type' is not modified. It is only used in
kobject_init_and_add() which takes a 'const struct kobj_type *ktype'
parameter.

Constifying this structure and moving it to a read-only section,
and can increase over all security.

<content type='text'>
There are currently 2 ways to create a set of sysfs files for a
kobj_type, through the default_attrs field, and the default_groups
field.  Move the cxl code to use default_groups field which has been the
preferred way since aa30f47cf666 ("kobject: Add support for default
attribute groups to kobj_type") so that we can soon get rid of the
obsolete default_attrs field.

<content type='text'>
Currently the error return path from kobject_init_and_add() is not
followed by a call to kobject_put() - which means we are leaking
the kobject.

Fix it by adding a call to kobject_put() in the error path of
kobject_init_and_add().

<title>cxl: Disable prefault_mode in Radix mode</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b6c84ba22ff3a198eb8d5552cf9b8fda1d792e54</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we see a kernel-oops reported on Power-9 while attaching a
context to an AFU, with radix-mode and sysfs attr 'prefault_mode' set
to anything other than 'none'. The backtrace of the oops is of this
form:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000080
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc00800000bcf3b20
  cpu 0x1: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000037f003800]

      pid   = 3529, comm = afp_no_int
  &lt;snip&gt;

  do_vfs_ioctl+0xdc/0x890
  ksys_ioctl+0x68/0xf0
  sys_ioctl+0x40/0xa0
  system_call+0x58/0x6c

The issue is caused as on Power-8 the AFU attr 'prefault_mode' was
used to improve initial storage fault performance by prefaulting
process segments. However on Power-9 with radix mode we don't have
Storage-Segments that we can prefault. Also prefaulting process Pages
will be too costly and fine-grained.

Hence, since the prefaulting mechanism doesn't makes sense of
radix-mode, this patch updates prefault_mode_store() to not allow any
other value apart from CXL_PREFAULT_NONE when radix mode is enabled.
