<id>df89b1753eb1b45c5dc2163b83815ab3f91209a6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 66b2ca086210732954a7790d63d35542936fc664 upstream.

It was reported that soft dirty tracking doesn't work when using the
Radix MMU.

The tracking is supposed to work by clearing the soft dirty bit for a
mapping and then write protecting the PTE. If/when the page is written
to, a page fault occurs and the soft dirty bit is added back via
pte_mkdirty(). For example in wp_page_reuse():

	entry = maybe_mkwrite(pte_mkdirty(entry), vma);
	if (ptep_set_access_flags(vma, vmf-&gt;address, vmf-&gt;pte, entry, 1))
		update_mmu_cache(vma, vmf-&gt;address, vmf-&gt;pte);

Unfortunately on radix _PAGE_SOFTDIRTY is being dropped by
radix__ptep_set_access_flags(), called from ptep_set_access_flags(),
meaning the soft dirty bit is not set even though the page has been
written to.

Fix it by adding _PAGE_SOFTDIRTY to the set of bits that are able to be
changed in radix__ptep_set_access_flags().

<title>powerpc/ptdump: Fix display of RW pages on FSL_BOOK3E</title>

commit dd8de84b57b02ba9c1fe530a6d916c0853f136bd upstream.

On FSL_BOOK3E, _PAGE_RW is defined with two bits, one for user and one
for supervisor. As soon as one of the two bits is set, the page has
to be display as RW. But the way it is implemented today requires both
bits to be set in order to display it as RW.

Instead of display RW when _PAGE_RW bits are set and R otherwise,
reverse the logic and display R when _PAGE_RW bits are all 0 and
RW otherwise.

This change has no impact on other platforms as _PAGE_RW is a single
bit on all of them.

commit d51f86cfd8e378d4907958db77da3074f6dce3ba upstream.

The dssall ("Data Stream Stop All") instruction is obsolete altogether
with other Data Cache Instructions since ISA 2.03 (year 2006).

LLVM IAS does not support it but PPC970 seems to be using it.
This switches dssall to .long as there is no much point in fixing LLVM.

commit dd75080aa8409ce10d50fb58981c6b59bf8707d3 upstream.

The shadow's page table is not updated when PTE_RPN_SHIFT is 24
and PAGE_SHIFT is 12. It not only causes false positives but
also false negative as shown the following text.

Fix it by bringing the logic of kasan_early_shadow_page_entry here.

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.

<title>powerpc/64s: Fix pte update for kernel memory on radix</title>

[ Upstream commit b8b2f37cf632434456182e9002d63cbc4cccc50c ]

When adding a PTE a ptesync is needed to order the update of the PTE
with subsequent accesses otherwise a spurious fault may be raised.

radix__set_pte_at() does not do this for performance gains. For
non-kernel memory this is not an issue as any faults of this kind are
corrected by the page fault handler. For kernel memory these faults
are not handled. The current solution is that there is a ptesync in
flush_cache_vmap() which should be called when mapping from the
vmalloc region.

However, map_kernel_page() does not call flush_cache_vmap(). This is
troublesome in particular for code patching with Strict RWX on radix.
In do_patch_instruction() the page frame that contains the instruction
to be patched is mapped and then immediately patched. With no ordering
or synchronization between setting up the PTE and writing to the page
it is possible for faults.

As the code patching is done using __put_user_asm_goto() the resulting
fault is obscured - but using a normal store instead it can be seen:

  BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on write at 0xc008000008f24a3c

  $ (while true; do echo function &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer ; echo nop &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer ; done) &amp;

Turning ftrace on and off does a large amount of code patching which
in usually less then 5min will crash giving a trace like:

[ Upstream commit 7ceb40027e19567a0a066e3b380cc034cdd9a124 ]

The verification and message introduced by commit 374f3f5979f9
("powerpc/mm/hash: Handle user access of kernel address gracefully")
applies to all platforms, it should not be limited to BOOK3S.

Make the BOOK3S version of sanity_check_fault() the one for all,
and bail out earlier if not BOOK3S.
