commit b00ff6d8c1c3898b0f768cbb38ef722d25bd2f39 upstream.

In order to properly display information regardless of the page size,
it is necessary to take into account real page size.

[ Upstream commit a101950fcb78b0ba20cd487be6627dea58d55c2b ]

Commit 1ca3dec2b2df ("powerpc/xive: Prevent page fault issues in the
machine crash handler") fixed an issue in the FW assisted dump of
machines using hash MMU and the XIVE interrupt mode under the POWER
hypervisor. It forced the mapping of the ESB page of interrupts being
mapped in the Linux IRQ number space to make sure the 'crash kexec'
sequence worked during such an event. But it didn't handle the
un-mapping.

This mapping is now blocking the removal of a passthrough IO adapter
under the POWER hypervisor because it expects the guest OS to have
cleared all page table entries related to the adapter. If some are
still present, the RTAS call which isolates the PCI slot returns error
9001 "valid outstanding translations".

Remove these mapping in the IRQ data cleanup routine.

Under KVM, this cleanup is not required because the ESB pages for the
adapter interrupts are un-mapped from the guest by the hypervisor in
the KVM XIVE native device. This is now redundant but it's harmless.

<id>urn:sha1:18c311e14325f745a0eacfe798d8d8352491378a</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 90ceddcb495008ac8ba7a3dce297841efcd7d584 upstream.

Simplify gen_btf logic to make it work with llvm-objcopy. The existing
'file format' and 'architecture' parsing logic is brittle and does not
work with llvm-objcopy/llvm-objdump.

'file format' output of llvm-objdump&gt;=11 will match GNU objdump, but
'architecture' (bfdarch) may not.

.BTF in .tmp_vmlinux.btf is non-SHF_ALLOC. Add the SHF_ALLOC flag
because it is part of vmlinux image used for introspection. C code
can reference the section via linker script defined __start_BTF and
__stop_BTF. This fixes a small problem that previous .BTF had the
SHF_WRITE flag (objcopy -I binary -O elf* synthesized .data).

Additionally, `objcopy -I binary` synthesized symbols
_binary__btf_vmlinux_bin_start and _binary__btf_vmlinux_bin_stop (not
used elsewhere) are replaced with more commonplace __start_BTF and
__stop_BTF.

Add 2&gt;/dev/null because GNU objcopy (but not llvm-objcopy) warns
"empty loadable segment detected at vaddr=0xffffffff81000000, is this intentional?"

We use a dd command to change the e_type field in the ELF header from
ET_EXEC to ET_REL so that lld will accept .btf.vmlinux.bin.o.  Accepting
ET_EXEC as an input file is an extremely rare GNU ld feature that lld
does not intend to support, because this is error-prone.

The output section description .BTF in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h
avoids potential subtle orphan section placement issues and suppresses
--orphan-handling=warn warnings.

Fixes: cb0cc635c7a9 ("powerpc: Include .BTF section")

commit d195b1d1d1196681ac4775e0361e9cca70f740c2 upstream.

The commit 0ebeea8ca8a4d1d453a ("bpf: Restrict bpf_probe_read{, str}() only
to archs where they work") caused that bpf_probe_read{, str}() functions
were not longer available on architectures where the same logical address
might have different content in kernel and user memory mapping. These
architectures should use probe_read_{user,kernel}_str helpers.

For backward compatibility, the problematic functions are still available
on architectures where the user and kernel address spaces are not
overlapping. This is defined CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NON_OVERLAPPING_ADDRESS_SPACE.

At the moment, these backward compatible functions are enabled only on x86_64,
arm, and arm64. Let's do it also on powerpc that has the non overlapping
address space as well.

<content type='text'>
commit 8659a0e0efdd975c73355dbc033f79ba3b31e82c upstream.

Several strange crashes have been eventually traced back to
STRICT_KERNEL_RWX and its interaction with code patching.

Various paths in our ftrace, kprobes and other patching code need to
be hardened against patching failures, otherwise we can end up running
with partially/incorrectly patched ftrace paths, kprobes or jump
labels, which can then cause strange crashes.

Although fixes for those are in development, they're not -rc material.

There also seem to be problems with the underlying strict RWX logic,
which needs further debugging.

So for now disable STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on 64-bit to prevent people from
enabling the option and tripping over the bugs.

commit fa4f3f56ccd28ac031ab275e673ed4098855fed4 upstream.

To prevent verifying the kernel module appended signature
twice (finit_module), once by the module_sig_check() and again by IMA,
powerpc secure boot rules define an IMA architecture specific policy
rule only if CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE is not enabled. This,
unfortunately, does not take into account the ability of enabling
"sig_enforce" on the boot command line (module.sig_enforce=1).

Including the IMA module appraise rule results in failing the
finit_module syscall, unless the module signing public key is loaded
onto the IMA keyring.

This patch fixes secure boot policy rules to be based on
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG instead.

<content type='text'>
commit d02f6b7dab8228487268298ea1f21081c0b4b3eb upstream.

get/put_user() can be called with nontrivial arguments. fs/proc/page.c
has a good example:

    if (put_user(stable_page_flags(ppage), out)) {

stable_page_flags() is quite a lot of code, including spin locks in
the page allocator.

Ensure these arguments are evaluated before user access is allowed.

This improves security by reducing code with access to userspace, but
it also fixes a PREEMPT bug with KUAP on powerpc/64s:
stable_page_flags() is currently called with AMR set to allow writes,
it ends up calling spin_unlock(), which can call preempt_schedule. But
the task switch code can not be called with AMR set (it relies on
interrupts saving the register), so this blows up.

It's fine if the code inside allow_user_access() is preemptible,
because a timer or IPI will save the AMR, but it's not okay to
explicitly cause a reschedule.
