commit 8dcd71b45df34d9b903450fab147ee8c1e6c16b5 upstream.

LLVM revision r374662 gives LLVM the ability to convert certain loops
into a reference to bcmp as an optimization; this breaks
prom_init_check.sh:

    CALL    arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check.sh
  Error: External symbol 'bcmp' referenced from prom_init.c
  make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile:196: prom_init_check] Error 1

bcmp is defined in lib/string.c as a wrapper for memcmp so this could
be added to the whitelist. However, commit
450e7dd4001f ("powerpc/prom_init: don't use string functions from
lib/") copied memcmp as prom_memcmp to avoid KASAN instrumentation so
having bcmp be resolved to regular memcmp would break that assumption.
Furthermore, because the compiler is the one that inserted bcmp, we
cannot provide something like prom_bcmp.

To prevent LLVM from being clever with optimizations like this, use
-ffreestanding to tell LLVM we are not hosted so it is not free to
make transformations like this.

<title>powerpc/32: Fix boot failure with GCC latent entropy plugin</title>

commit bba496656a73fc1d1330b49c7f82843836e9feb1 upstream.

Boot fails with GCC latent entropy plugin enabled.

This is due to early boot functions trying to access 'latent_entropy'
global data while the kernel is not relocated at its final
destination yet.

As there is no way to tell GCC to use PTRRELOC() to access it,
disable latent entropy plugin in early_32.o and feature-fixups.o and
code-patching.o

[ Upstream commit a7223f5bfcaeade4a86d35263493bcda6c940891 ]

Commit 7053f80d9696 ("powerpc/64: Prevent stack protection in early
boot") introduced a couple of uses of __attribute__((optimize)) with
function scope, to disable the stack protector in some early boot
code.

Unfortunately, and this is documented in the GCC man pages [0],
overriding function attributes for optimization is broken, and is only
supported for debug scenarios, not for production: the problem appears
to be that setting GCC -f flags using this method will cause it to
forget about some or all other optimization settings that have been
applied.

So the only safe way to disable the stack protector is to disable it
for the entire source file.

commit c17eb4dca5a353a9dbbb8ad6934fe57af7165e91 upstream.

Declaring setjmp()/longjmp() as taking longs makes the signature
non-standard, and makes clang complain. In the past, this has been
worked around by adding -ffreestanding to the compile flags.

The implementation looks like it only ever propagates the value
(in longjmp) or sets it to 1 (in setjmp), and we only call longjmp
with integer parameters.

This allows removing -ffreestanding from the compilation flags.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "This is a bit late, partly due to me travelling, and partly due to a
  power outage knocking out some of my test systems *while* I was
  travelling.

   - Initial support for running on a system with an Ultravisor, which
     is software that runs below the hypervisor and protects guests
     against some attacks by the hypervisor.

   - Support for building the kernel to run as a "Secure Virtual
     Machine", ie. as a guest capable of running on a system with an
     Ultravisor.

   - Some changes to our DMA code on bare metal, to allow devices with
     medium sized DMA masks (&gt; 32 &amp;&amp; &lt; 59 bits) to use more than 2GB of
     DMA space.

   - Support for firmware assisted crash dumps on bare metal (powernv).

   - Two series fixing bugs in and refactoring our PCI EEH code.

   - A large series refactoring our exception entry code to use gas
     macros, both to make it more readable and also enable some future
     optimisations.

  As well as many cleanups and other minor features &amp; fixups.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "This is a bit late, partly due to me travelling, and partly due to a
  power outage knocking out some of my test systems *while* I was
  travelling.

   - Initial support for running on a system with an Ultravisor, which
     is software that runs below the hypervisor and protects guests
     against some attacks by the hypervisor.

   - Support for building the kernel to run as a "Secure Virtual
     Machine", ie. as a guest capable of running on a system with an
     Ultravisor.

   - Some changes to our DMA code on bare metal, to allow devices with
     medium sized DMA masks (&gt; 32 &amp;&amp; &lt; 59 bits) to use more than 2GB of
     DMA space.

   - Support for firmware assisted crash dumps on bare metal (powernv).

   - Two series fixing bugs in and refactoring our PCI EEH code.

   - A large series refactoring our exception entry code to use gas
     macros, both to make it more readable and also enable some future
     optimisations.

  As well as many cleanups and other minor features &amp; fixups.

<title>powerpc/fadump: add support to preserve crash data on FADUMP disabled kernel</title>

<id>bec53196adf4791d466adf0e339b61186c7b5283</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new kernel config option, CONFIG_PRESERVE_FA_DUMP that ensures
that crash data, from previously crash'ed kernel, is preserved. This
helps in cases where FADump is not enabled but the subsequent memory
preserving kernel boot is likely to process this crash data. One
typical usecase for this config option is petitboot kernel.

As OPAL allows registering address with it in the first kernel and
retrieving it after MPIPL, use it to store the top of boot memory.
A kernel that intends to preserve crash data retrieves it and avoids
using memory beyond this address.

Move arch_reserved_kernel_pages() function as it is needed for both
FA_DUMP and PRESERVE_FA_DUMP configurations.

<title>powerpc: improve prom_init_check rule</title>

This slightly improves the prom_init_check rule.

[1] Avoid needless check

Currently, prom_init_check.sh is invoked every time you run 'make'
even if you have changed nothing in prom_init.c. With this commit,
the script is re-run only when prom_init.o is recompiled.

[2] Beautify the build log

Currently, the O= build shows the absolute path to the script:

  CALL    /abs/path/to/source/of/linux/arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check.sh

With this commit, it is always a relative path to the timestamp file:

  PROMCHK arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check
