commit 844e3be47693f92a108cb1fb3b0606bf25e9c7a6 upstream.

Classic BPF JIT was never ported completely to work on little endian
powerpc. However, it can be enabled and will crash the system when used.
As such, disable use of BPF JIT on ppc64le.

commit a3aa256b7258b3d19f8b44557cc64525a993b941 upstream.

The PE primary bus cannot be got from its child devices when having
full hotplug in error recovery. The PE primary bus is cached, which
is done in commit &lt;05ba75f84864&gt; ("powerpc/eeh: Fix stale cached primary
bus"). In eeh_reset_device(), the flag (EEH_PE_PRI_BUS) is cleared
before the PCI hot remove. eeh_pe_bus_get() then returns NULL as the
PE primary bus in pnv_eeh_reset() and it crashes the kernel eventually.

This fixes the issue by clearing the flag (EEH_PE_PRI_BUS) before the
PCI hot add. With it, the PowerNV EEH reset backend (pnv_eeh_reset())
can get valid PE primary bus through eeh_pe_bus_get().

<title>powerpc/tm: Always reclaim in start_thread() for exec() class syscalls</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5b7ef8eff33ff8b3d87071a5fa463da15ec8a0c0</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8e96a87c5431c256feb65bcfc5aec92d9f7839b6 upstream.

Userspace can quite legitimately perform an exec() syscall with a
suspended transaction. exec() does not return to the old process, rather
it load a new one and starts that, the expectation therefore is that the
new process starts not in a transaction. Currently exec() is not treated
any differently to any other syscall which creates problems.

Firstly it could allow a new process to start with a suspended
transaction for a binary that no longer exists. This means that the
checkpointed state won't be valid and if the suspended transaction were
ever to be resumed and subsequently aborted (a possibility which is
exceedingly likely as exec()ing will likely doom the transaction) the
new process will jump to invalid state.

Secondly the incorrect attempt to keep the transactional state while
still zeroing state for the new process creates at least two TM Bad
Things. The first triggers on the rfid to return to userspace as
start_thread() has given the new process a 'clean' MSR but the suspend
will still be set in the hardware MSR. The second TM Bad Thing triggers
in __switch_to() as the processor is still transactionally suspended but
__switch_to() wants to zero the TM sprs for the new process.

This is an example of the outcome of calling exec() with a suspended
transaction. Note the first 700 is likely the first TM bad thing
decsribed earlier only the kernel can't report it as we've loaded
userspace registers. c000000000009980 is the rfid in
fast_exception_return()

commit 2c2a63e301fd19ccae673e79de59b30a232ff7f9 upstream.

The recent commit 7cc851039d64 ("powerpc/pseries: Add POWER8NVL support
to ibm,client-architecture-support call") added a new PVR mask &amp; value
to the start of the ibm_architecture_vec[] array.

However it missed the fact that further down in the array, we hard code
the offset of one of the fields, and then at boot use that value to
patch the value in the array. This means every update to the array must
also update the #define, ugh.

This means that on pseries machines we will misreport to firmware the
number of cores we support, by a factor of threads_per_core.

Fix it for now by updating the #define.

commit 8a934efe94347eee843aeea65bdec8077a79e259 upstream.

In commit 8445a87f7092 "powerpc/iommu: Remove the dependency on EEH
struct in DDW mechanism", the PE address was replaced with the PCI
config address in order to remove dependency on EEH. According to PAPR
spec, firmware (pHyp or QEMU) should accept "xxBBSSxx" format PCI config
address, not "xxxxBBSS" provided by the patch. Note that "BB" is PCI bus
number and "SS" is the combination of slot and function number.

This fixes the PCI address passed to DDW RTAS calls.

commit 8445a87f7092bc8336ea1305be9306f26b846d93 upstream.

Commit 39baadbf36ce ("powerpc/eeh: Remove eeh information from pci_dn")
changed the pci_dn struct by removing its EEH-related members.
As part of this clean-up, DDW mechanism was modified to read the device
configuration address from eeh_dev struct.

As a consequence, now if we disable EEH mechanism on kernel command-line
for example, the DDW mechanism will fail, generating a kernel oops by
dereferencing a NULL pointer (which turns to be the eeh_dev pointer).

This patch just changes the configuration address calculation on DDW
functions to a manual calculation based on pci_dn members instead of
using eeh_dev-based address.

No functional changes were made. This was tested on pSeries, both
in PHyp and qemu guest.

<content type='text'>
commit dc47c0c1f8099fccb2c1e2f3775855066a9e4484 upstream.

When we converted the asm routines to C functions, we missed updating
HPTE_R_R based on _PAGE_ACCESSED. ASM code used to copy over the lower
bits from pte via.

andi.	r3,r30,0x1fe		/* Get basic set of flags */

We also update the code such that we won't update the Change bit ('C'
bit) always. This was added by commit c5cf0e30bf3d8 ("powerpc: Fix
buglet with MMU hash management").

With hash64, we need to make sure that hardware doesn't do a pte update
directly. This is because we do end up with entries in TLB with no hash
page table entry. This happens because when we find a hash bucket full,
we "evict" a more/less random entry from it. When we do that we don't
invalidate the TLB (hpte_remove) because we assume the old translation
is still technically "valid". For more info look at commit
0608d692463("powerpc/mm: Always invalidate tlb on hpte invalidate and
update").

Thus it's critical that valid hash PTEs always have reference bit set
and writeable ones have change bit set. We do this by hashing a
non-dirty linux PTE as read-only and always setting _PAGE_ACCESSED (and
thus R) when hashing anything else in. Any attempt by Linux at clearing
those bits also removes the corresponding hash entry.

Commit 5cf0e30bf3d8 did that for 'C' bit by enabling 'C' bit always.
We don't really need to do that because we never map a RW pte entry
without setting 'C' bit. On READ fault on a RW pte entry, we still map
it READ only, hence a store update in the page will still cause a hash
pte fault.

This patch reverts the part of commit c5cf0e30bf3d8 ("[PATCH] powerpc:
Fix buglet with MMU hash management") and retain the updatepp part.

- If we hit the updatepp path on native, the old code without that
  commit, would fail to set C bcause native_hpte_updatepp()
  was implemented to filter the same bits as H_PROTECT and not let C
  through thus we would "upgrade" a RO HPTE to RW without setting C
  thus causing the bug. So the real fix in that commit was the change
  to native_hpte_updatepp

If we do not provide the PVR for POWER8NVL, a guest on this system
currently ends up in PowerISA 2.06 compatibility mode on KVM, since QEMU
does not provide a generic PowerISA 2.07 mode yet. So some new
instructions from POWER8 (like "mtvsrd") get disabled for the guest,
resulting in crashes when using code compiled explicitly for
POWER8 (e.g. with the "-mcpu=power8" option of GCC).

commit d23fac2b27d94aeb7b65536a50d32bfdc21fe01e upstream.

The SIAR and SDAR registers are available twice, one time as SPRs
780 / 781 (unprivileged, but read-only), and one time as the SPRs
796 / 797 (privileged, but read and write). The Linux kernel code
currently uses the unprivileged  SPRs - while this is OK for reading,
writing to that register of course does not work.
Since the KVM code tries to write to this register, too (see the mtspr
in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S), the contents of this register sometimes get
lost for the guests, e.g. during migration of a VM.
To fix this issue, simply switch to the privileged SPR numbers instead.
