commit ec6347bb43395cb92126788a1a5b25302543f815 upstream.

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.

Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

  &gt; &gt; However now I see that copy_user_generic() works for the wrong reason.
  &gt; &gt; It works because the exception on the source address due to poison
  &gt; &gt; looks no different than a write fault on the user address to the
  &gt; &gt; caller, it's still just a short copy. So it makes copy_to_user() work
  &gt; &gt; for the wrong reason relative to the name.
  &gt;
  &gt; Right.
  &gt;
  &gt; And it won't work that way on other architectures. On x86, we have a
  &gt; generic function that can take faults on either side, and we use it
  &gt; for both cases (and for the "in_user" case too), but that's an
  &gt; artifact of the architecture oddity.
  &gt;
  &gt; In fact, it's probably wrong even on x86 - because it can hide bugs -
  &gt; but writing those things is painful enough that everybody prefers
  &gt; having just one function.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().

Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.

One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

[ Upstream commit 4ff753feab021242144818b9a3ba011238218145 ]

When an UE or memory error exception is encountered the MCE handler
tries to find the pfn using addr_to_pfn() which takes effective
address as an argument, later pfn is used to poison the page where
memory error occurred, recent rework in this area made addr_to_pfn
to run in real mode, which can be fatal as it may try to access
memory outside RMO region.

Have two helper functions to separate things to be done in real mode
and virtual mode without changing any functionality. This also fixes
the following error as the use of addr_to_pfn is now moved to virtual
mode.

Without this change following kernel crash is seen on hitting UE.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 0a43ae3e2beb77e3481d812834d33abe270768ab ]

Every dump reported by OPAL is exported to userspace through a sysfs
interface and notified using kobject_uevent(). The userspace daemon
(opal_errd) then reads the dump and acknowledges that the dump is
saved safely to disk. Once acknowledged the kernel removes the
respective sysfs file entry causing respective resources to be
released including kobject.

However it's possible the userspace daemon may already be scanning
dump entries when a new sysfs dump entry is created by the kernel.
User daemon may read this new entry and ack it even before kernel can
notify userspace about it through kobject_uevent() call. If that
happens then we have a potential race between
dump_ack_store-&gt;kobject_put() and kobject_uevent which can lead to
use-after-free of a kernfs object resulting in a kernel crash.

This patch fixes this race by protecting the sysfs file
creation/notification by holding a reference count on kobject until we
safely send kobject_uevent().

The function create_dump_obj() returns the dump object which if used
by caller function will end up in use-after-free problem again.
However, the return value of create_dump_obj() function isn't being
used today and there is no need as well. Hence change it to return
void to make this fix complete.

[ Upstream commit 0f9866f7e85765bbda86666df56c92f377c3bc10 ]

Commit 9e9f60108423f ("powerpc/perf/{hv-gpci, hv-common}: generate
requests with counters annotated") adds a framework for defining
gpci counters.
In this patch, they adds starting_index value as '0xffffffffffffffff'.
which is wrong as starting_index is of size 32 bits.

Because of this, incase we try to run hv-gpci event we get error.

In power9 machine:

command#: perf stat -e hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/
          -C 0 -I 1000
event syntax error: '..bie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/'
                                  \___ value too big for format, maximum is 4294967295

This patch fix this issue and changes starting_index value to '0xffffffff'

After this patch:

command#: perf stat -e hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/ -C 0 -I 1000
     1.000085786              1,024      hv_gpci/system_tlbie_count_and_time_tlbie_instructions_issued/

PMU counter support functions enforces event constraints for group of
events to check if all events in a group can be monitored. Incase of
event codes using PMC5 and PMC6 ( 500fa and 600f4 respectively ), not
all constraints are applicable, say the threshold or sample bits. But
current code includes pmc5 and pmc6 in some group constraints (like
IC_DC Qualifier bits) which is actually not applicable and hence
results in those events not getting counted when scheduled along with
group of other events. Patch fixes this by excluding PMC5/6 from
constraints which are not relevant for it.

Replayed interrupts get an "artificial" struct pt_regs constructed to
pass to interrupt handler functions. This did not get the softe field
set correctly, it's as though the interrupt has hit while irqs are
disabled. It should be IRQS_ENABLED.

This is possibly harmless, asynchronous handlers should not be testing
if irqs were disabled, but it might be possible for example some code
is shared with synchronous or NMI handlers, and it makes more sense if
debug output looks at this.

a process under certain conditions. One of the assumptions is that
mm_users would not be incremented via a reference outside the process
context with mmget_not_zero() then go on to kthread_use_mm() via that
reference.

That invariant was broken by io_uring code (see previous sparc64 fix),
but I'll point Fixes: to the original powerpc commit because we are
changing that assumption going forward, so this will make backports
match up.

Fix this by no longer relying on that assumption, but by having each CPU
check the mm is not being used, and clearing their own bit from the mask
only if it hasn't been switched-to by the time the IPI is processed.

This relies on commit 38cf307c1f20 ("mm: fix kthread_use_mm() vs TLB
invalidate") and ARCH_WANT_IRQS_OFF_ACTIVATE_MM to disable irqs over mm
switch sequences.

[ Upstream commit 4c42dc5c69a8f24c467a6c997909d2f1d4efdc7f ]

Before the commit identified below, pages tables allocation was
performed after the allocation of final shadow area for linear memory.
But that commit switched the order, leading to page tables being
already allocated at the time 8xx kasan_init_shadow_8M() is called.
Due to this, kasan_init_shadow_8M() doesn't map the needed
shadow entries because there are already page tables.

kasan_init_shadow_8M() installs huge PMD entries instead of page
tables. We could at that time free the page tables, but there is no
point in creating page tables that get freed before being used.

Only book3s/32 hash needs early allocation of page tables. For other
variants, we can keep the initial order and create remaining page
tables after the allocation of final shadow memory for linear mem.

Move back the allocation of shadow page tables for
CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC into kasan_init() after the loop which creates
final shadow memory for linear mem.
