commit 72cd7b44bc99376b3f3c93cedcd052663fcdf705 upstream.

enable_kernel_vsx() function was commented since anything was using
it. However, vmx-crypto driver uses VSX instructions which are
only available if VSX is enable. Otherwise it rises an exception oops.

This patch uncomment enable_kernel_vsx() routine and makes it available.

commit 1c2cb594441d02815d304cccec9742ff5c707495 upstream.

The EPOW interrupt handler uses rtas_get_sensor(), which in turn
uses rtas_busy_delay() to wait for RTAS becoming ready in case it
is necessary. But rtas_busy_delay() is annotated with might_sleep()
and thus may not be used by interrupts handlers like the EPOW handler!
This leads to the following BUG when CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP is
enabled:

 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c:496

Fix this issue by introducing a new rtas_get_sensor_fast() function
that does not use rtas_busy_delay() - and thus can only be used for
sensors that do not cause a BUSY condition - known as "fast" sensors.

The EPOW sensor is defined to be "fast" in sPAPR - mpe.

commit 259800135c654a098d9f0adfdd3d1f20eef1f231 upstream.

The config space of some PCI devices can't be accessed when their
PEs are in frozen state. Otherwise, fenced PHB might be seen.
Those PEs are identified with flag EEH_PE_CFG_RESTRICTED, meaing
EEH_PE_CFG_BLOCKED is set automatically when the PE is put to
frozen state (EEH_PE_ISOLATED). eeh_slot_error_detail() restores
PCI device BARs with eeh_pe_restore_bars(), which then calls
eeh_ops-&gt;restore_config() to reinitialize the PCI device in
(OPAL) firmware. eeh_ops-&gt;restore_config() produces PCI config
access that causes fenced PHB. The problem was reported on below
adapter:

   0001:01:00.0 0200: 14e4:168e (rev 10)
   0001:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation \
                NetXtreme II BCM57810 10 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)

This fixes the issue by skipping eeh_pe_restore_bars() in
eeh_slot_error_detail() when EEH_PE_CFG_BLOCKED is set for the PE.

<title>powerpc/eeh: Probe after unbalanced kref check</title>

commit e642d11bdbfe8eb10116ab3959a2b5d75efda832 upstream.

In the complete hotplug case, EEH PEs are supposed to be released
and set to NULL. Normally, this is done by eeh_remove_device(),
which is called from pcibios_release_device().

However, if something is holding a kref to the device, it will not
be released, and the PE will remain. eeh_add_device_late() has
a check for this which will explictly destroy the PE in this case.

This check in eeh_add_device_late() occurs after a call to
eeh_ops-&gt;probe(). On PowerNV, probe is a pointer to pnv_eeh_probe(),
which will exit without probing if there is an existing PE.

This means that on PowerNV, devices with outstanding krefs will not
be rediscovered by EEH correctly after a complete hotplug. This is
affecting CXL (CAPI) devices in the field.

Put the probe after the kref check so that the PE is destroyed
and affected devices are correctly rediscovered by EEH.

<title>signal: fix information leak in copy_siginfo_from_user32</title>

commit 3c00cb5e68dc719f2fc73a33b1b230aadfcb1309 upstream.

This function can leak kernel stack data when the user siginfo_t has a
positive si_code value.  The top 16 bits of si_code descibe which fields
in the siginfo_t union are active, but they are treated inconsistently
between copy_siginfo_from_user32, copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
copy_siginfo_to_user.

copy_siginfo_from_user32 is called from rt_sigqueueinfo and
rt_tgsigqueueinfo in which the user has full control overthe top 16 bits
of si_code.

This fixes the following information leaks:
x86:   8 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to
       itself. This leak grows to 16 bytes if the process uses x32.
       (si_code = __SI_CHLD)
x86:   100 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to
       a 64-bit process. (si_code = -1)
sparc: 4 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to a
       64-bit process. (si_code = any)

parsic and s390 have similar bugs, but they are not vulnerable because
rt_[tg]sigqueueinfo have checks that prevent sending a positive si_code
to a different process.  These bugs are also fixed for consistency.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Fix race in updating core_idle_state</title>

<content type='text'>
commit b32aadc1a8ed84afbe924cd2ced31cd6a2e67074 upstream.

core_idle_state is maintained for each core. It uses 0-7 bits to track
whether a thread in the core has entered fastsleep or winkle. 8th bit is
used as a lock bit.
The lock bit is set in these 2 scenarios-
 - The thread is first in subcore to wakeup from sleep/winkle.
 - If its the last thread in the core about to enter sleep/winkle

While the lock bit is set, if any other thread in the core wakes up, it
loops until the lock bit is cleared before proceeding in the wakeup
path. This helps prevent race conditions w.r.t fastsleep workaround and
prevents threads from switching to process context before core/subcore
resources are restored.

But, in the path to sleep/winkle entry, we currently don't check for
lock-bit. This exposes us to following race when running with subcore
on-

First thread in the subcorea		Another thread in the same
waking up		   		core entering sleep/winkle

Here, after the thread entering sleep clears its thread bit in
core_idle_state, the value is overwritten by the thread waking up.
In such cases when the core enters fastsleep, code mistakes an idle
thread as running. Because of this, the first thread waking up from
fastsleep which is supposed to resync timebase skips it. So we can
end up having a core with stale timebase value.

This patch fixes the above race by looping on the lock bit even while
entering the idle states.

commit b32aadc1a8ed84afbe924cd2ced31cd6a2e67074 upstream.

core_idle_state is maintained for each core. It uses 0-7 bits to track
whether a thread in the core has entered fastsleep or winkle. 8th bit is
used as a lock bit.
The lock bit is set in these 2 scenarios-
 - The thread is first in subcore to wakeup from sleep/winkle.
 - If its the last thread in the core about to enter sleep/winkle

While the lock bit is set, if any other thread in the core wakes up, it
loops until the lock bit is cleared before proceeding in the wakeup
path. This helps prevent race conditions w.r.t fastsleep workaround and
prevents threads from switching to process context before core/subcore
resources are restored.

But, in the path to sleep/winkle entry, we currently don't check for
lock-bit. This exposes us to following race when running with subcore
on-

First thread in the subcorea		Another thread in the same
waking up		   		core entering sleep/winkle

Recent toolchains force the TOC to be 256 byte aligned. We need
to enforce this alignment in our linker script, otherwise pointers
to our TOC variables (__toc_start, __prom_init_toc_start) could
be incorrect.

If they are bad, we die a few hundred instructions into boot.

<title>powerpc/mce: fix off by one errors in mce event handling</title>

Before 69111bac42f5 ("powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses"), in
save_mce_event, index got the value of mce_nest_count, and
mce_nest_count was incremented *after* index was set.

However, that patch changed the behaviour so that mce_nest count was
incremented *before* setting index.

This causes an off-by-one error, as get_mce_event sets index as
mce_nest_count - 1 before reading mce_event.  Thus get_mce_event reads
bogus data, causing warnings like
"Machine Check Exception, Unknown event version 0 !"
and breaking MCEs handling.

Restore the old behaviour and unbreak MCE handling by subtracting one
from the newly incremented value.

The same broken change occured in machine_check_queue_event (which set
a queue read by machine_check_process_queued_event).  Fix that too,
unbreaking printing of MCE information.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Restore non-volatile CRs after nap</title>

Patches 7cba160ad "powernv/cpuidle: Redesign idle states management"
and 77b54e9f2 "powernv/powerpc: Add winkle support for offline cpus"
use non-volatile condition registers (cr2, cr3 and cr4) early in the system
reset interrupt handler (system_reset_pSeries()) before it has been determined
if state loss has occurred. If state loss has not occurred, control returns via
the power7_wakeup_noloss() path which does not restore those condition
registers, leaving them corrupted.

Fix this by restoring the condition registers in the power7_wakeup_noloss()
case.

This is apparent when running a KVM guest on hardware that does not
support winkle or sleep and the guest makes use of secondary threads. In
practice this means Power7 machines, though some early unreleased Power8
machines may also be susceptible.

The secondary CPUs are taken off line before the guest is started and
they call pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self(). This checks support for sleep
states (in this case there is no support) and power7_nap() is called.

When the CPU is woken, power7_nap() returns and because the CPU is
still off line, the main while loop executes again. The sleep states
support test is executed again, but because the tested values cannot
have changed, the compiler has optimized the test away and instead we
rely on the result of the first test, which has been left in cr3
and/or cr4. With the result overwritten, the wrong branch is taken and
power7_winkle() is called on a CPU that does not support it, leading
to it stalling.

Commit 1c509148b ("powerpc/eeh: Do probe on pci_dn") probes EEH
devices in early stage, which is reasonable to pSeries platform.
However, it's wrong for PowerNV platform because the PE# isn't
determined until the resources (IO and MMIO) are assigned to
PE in hotplug case. So we have to delay probing EEH devices
for PowerNV platform until the PE# is assigned.
