[ Upstream commit 419ac821766cbdb9fd85872bb3f1a589df05c94c ]

Commit 91c960b0056672 ("bpf: Rename BPF_XADD and prepare to encode other
atomics in .imm") converted BPF_XADD to BPF_ATOMIC and added a way to
distinguish instructions based on the immediate field. Existing JIT
implementations were updated to check for the immediate field and to
reject programs utilizing anything more than BPF_ADD (such as BPF_FETCH)
in the immediate field.

However, the check added to powerpc64 JIT did not look at the correct
BPF instruction. Due to this, such programs would be accepted and
incorrectly JIT'ed resulting in soft lockups, as seen with the atomic
bounds test. Fix this by looking at the correct immediate value.

Fixes: 91c960b0056672 ("bpf: Rename BPF_XADD and prepare to encode other atomics in .imm")

[ 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

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")

commit 91cdbb955aa94ee0841af4685be40937345d29b8 upstream.

The kernel handles the NX fault by updating CSB or sending
signal to process. In multithread applications, children can
open VAS windows and can exit without closing them. But the
parent can continue to send NX requests with these windows. To
prevent pid reuse, reference will be taken on pid and tgid
when the window is opened and release them during window close.

The current code is not releasing the tgid reference which can
cause pid leak and this patch fixes the issue.

commit 015d98149b326e0f1f02e44413112ca8b4330543 upstream.

A change in clang 13 results in the __lwsync macro being defined as
__builtin_ppc_lwsync, which emits 'lwsync' or 'msync' depending on what
the target supports. This breaks the build because of -Werror in
arch/powerpc, along with thousands of warnings:

Undefine this macro so that the runtime patching introduced by
commit 2d1b2027626d ("powerpc: Fixup lwsync at runtime") continues to
work properly with clang and the build no longer breaks.

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

<id>urn:sha1:500f81cec9f1bfa5210aa9dd5ba9a06e22f62a35</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

commit 2c669ef6979c370f98d4b876e54f19613c81e075 upstream.

Powerpc currently resets a CPU's idle task preempt_count to 0 before
said task starts executing the secondary startup routine (and becomes an
idle task proper).

This conflicts with commit f1a0a376ca0c ("sched/core: Initialize the
idle task with preemption disabled").

which initializes all of the idle tasks' preempt_count to
PREEMPT_DISABLED during smp_init(). Note that this was superfluous
before said commit, as back then the hotplug machinery would invoke
init_idle() via idle_thread_get(), which would have already reset the
CPU's idle task's preempt_count to PREEMPT_ENABLED.

Get rid of this preempt_count write.

at the moment, but it is less surprising and it's unhelpful when

[ Upstream commit 95839225639ba7c3d8d7231b542728dcf222bf2d ]

Commit a21d1becaa3f ("powerpc: Reintroduce is_kvm_guest() as a fast-path
check") added is_kvm_guest() and changed kvm_para_available() to use it.

is_kvm_guest() checks a static key, kvm_guest, and that static key is
set in check_kvm_guest().

The problem is check_kvm_guest() is only called on pseries, and even
then only in some configurations. That means is_kvm_guest() always
returns false on all non-pseries and some pseries depending on
configuration. That's a bug.

For PR KVM guests this is noticable because they no longer do live
patching of themselves, which can be detected by the omission of a
message in dmesg such as:

  KVM: Live patching for a fast VM worked

To fix it make check_kvm_guest() an initcall, to ensure it's always
called at boot. It needs to be core so that it runs before
kvm_guest_init() which is postcore. To be an initcall it needs to return
int, where 0 means success, so update that.

We still call it manually in pSeries_smp_probe(), because that runs
before init calls are run.
