[ Upstream commit 07d8ad6fd8a3d47f50595ca4826f41dbf4f3a0c6 ]

Update _tlbiel_pid() such that we can avoid build errors like below when
using this function in other places.

arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/radix_tlb.c: In function ‘__radix__flush_tlb_range_psize’:
arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/radix_tlb.c:114:2: warning: ‘asm’ operand 3 probably does not match constraints
  114 |  asm volatile(PPC_TLBIEL(%0, %4, %3, %2, %1)
      |  ^~~

make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:271: arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/radix_tlb.o] Error 1
m

With this fix, we can also drop the __always_inline in __radix_flush_tlb_range_psize
which was added by commit e12d6d7d46a6 ("powerpc/mm/radix: mark __radix__flush_tlb_range_psize() as __always_inline")

<title>powerpc/mm: Fix lockup on kernel exec fault</title>

commit cd5d5e602f502895e47e18cd46804d6d7014e65c upstream.

The powerpc kernel is not prepared to handle exec faults from kernel.
Especially, the function is_exec_fault() will return 'false' when an
exec fault is taken by kernel, because the check is based on reading
current-&gt;thread.regs-&gt;trap which contains the trap from user.

For instance, when provoking a LKDTM EXEC_USERSPACE test,
current-&gt;thread.regs-&gt;trap is set to SYSCALL trap (0xc00), and
the fault taken by the kernel is not seen as an exec fault by
set_access_flags_filter().

Commit d7df2443cd5f ("powerpc/mm: Fix spurious segfaults on radix
with autonuma") made it clear and handled it properly. But later on
commit d3ca587404b3 ("powerpc/mm: Fix reporting of kernel execute
faults") removed that handling, introducing test based on error_code.
And here is the problem, because on the 603 all upper bits of SRR1
get cleared when the TLB instruction miss handler bails out to ISI.

Until commit cbd7e6ca0210 ("powerpc/fault: Avoid heavy
search_exception_tables() verification"), an exec fault from kernel
at a userspace address was indirectly caught by the lack of entry for
that address in the exception tables. But after that commit the
kernel mainly relies on KUAP or on core mm handling to catch wrong
user accesses. Here the access is not wrong, so mm handles it.
It is a minor fault because PAGE_EXEC is not set,
set_access_flags_filter() should set PAGE_EXEC and voila.
But as is_exec_fault() returns false as explained in the beginning,
set_access_flags_filter() bails out without setting PAGE_EXEC flag,
which leads to a forever minor exec fault.

As the kernel is not prepared to handle such exec faults, the thing to
do is to fire in bad_kernel_fault() for any exec fault taken by the
kernel, as it was prior to commit d3ca587404b3.

<title>powerpc/mm: Add cond_resched() while removing hpte mappings</title>

[ Upstream commit a5d6a3e73acbd619dd5b7b831762b755f9e2db80 ]

While removing large number of mappings from hash page tables for
large memory systems as soft-lockup is reported because of the time
spent inside htap_remove_mapping() like one below:

 watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#8 stuck for 23s!

Fix this by adding a cond_resched() to the loop in
htap_remove_mapping() that issues hcall to remove hpte mapping. The
call to cond_resched() is issued every HZ jiffies which should prevent
the soft-lockup from being reported.

[ Upstream commit 2c02e656a29d5f64193eb93da92781bcf0517146 ]

In hash__mark_rodata_ro() we pass the raw PP_RXXX value to
hash__change_memory_range(). That has the effect of setting the key to
zero, because PP_RXXX contains no key value.

Fix it by using htab_convert_pte_flags(), which knows how to convert a
pgprot into a pp value, including the key.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit b8b2f37cf632434456182e9002d63cbc4cccc50c ]

When adding a PTE a ptesync is needed to order the update of the PTE
with subsequent accesses otherwise a spurious fault may be raised.

radix__set_pte_at() does not do this for performance gains. For
non-kernel memory this is not an issue as any faults of this kind are
corrected by the page fault handler. For kernel memory these faults
are not handled. The current solution is that there is a ptesync in
flush_cache_vmap() which should be called when mapping from the
vmalloc region.

However, map_kernel_page() does not call flush_cache_vmap(). This is
troublesome in particular for code patching with Strict RWX on radix.
In do_patch_instruction() the page frame that contains the instruction
to be patched is mapped and then immediately patched. With no ordering
or synchronization between setting up the PTE and writing to the page
it is possible for faults.

As the code patching is done using __put_user_asm_goto() the resulting
fault is obscured - but using a normal store instead it can be seen:

  BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on write at 0xc008000008f24a3c

  $ (while true; do echo function &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer ; echo nop &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer ; done) &amp;

Hash faults use the trap vector to decide whether this is an
instruction or data fault. This should use the TRAP accessor
rather than open access regs-&gt;trap.

This won't cause a problem at the moment because 64s only uses
trap flags for system call interrupts (the norestart flag), but
that could change if any other trap flags get used in future.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - A large series adding wrappers for our interrupt handlers, so that
   irq/nmi/user tracking can be isolated in the wrappers rather than
   spread in each handler.

 - Conversion of the 32-bit syscall handling into C.

 - A series from Nick to streamline our TLB flushing when using the
   Radix MMU.

 - Switch to using queued spinlocks by default for 64-bit server CPUs.

 - A rework of our PCI probing so that it happens later in boot, when
   more generic infrastructure is available.

 - Two small fixes to allow 32-bit little-endian processes to run on
   64-bit kernels.

 - Other smaller features, fixes &amp; cleanups.

<title>powerpc/mm: Remove dcache flush from memory remove.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2ac02e5ecec0cc2484d60a73b1bc6394aa2fad28</id>
<content type='text'>
We added dcache flush on memory add/remove in commit
fb5924fddf9e ("powerpc/mm: Flush cache on memory hot(un)plug") to
handle crashes on GPU hotplug. Instead of adding dcache flush in
generic memory add/remove routine which is used even for regular
memory, we should handle these devices specific flush in the device
driver code.

memtrace did handle this in the driver and that was removed by commit
7fd6641de28f ("powerpc/powernv/memtrace: Let the arch hotunplug code
flush cache"). This patch reverts that commit.

The dcache flush in memory add was removed by commit
ea458effa88e ("powerpc: Don't flush caches when adding memory") which
I don't think is correct. The reason why we require dcache flush in
memtrace is to make sure we don't have a dirty cache when we remap a
pfn to cache inhibited. We should do that when the memtrace module
removes the memory and make the pfn available for HTM traces to map it
as cache inhibited.

The other device mentioned in commit fb5924fddf9e ("powerpc/mm: Flush
cache on memory hot(un)plug") is nvlink device with coherent memory.
The support for that was removed in commit
7eb3cf761927 ("powerpc/powernv: remove unused NPU DMA code") and
commit 25b2995a35b6 ("mm: remove MEMORY_DEVICE_PUBLIC support")

This just add a better name for PG_arch_1. No functional change in this patch.
