commit 66443efa83dc73775100b7442962ce2cb0d4472e upstream.

When booting from an OpenFirmware which supports it, we use the
"ibm,client-architecture-support" firmware call to communicate
our capabilities to firmware.

The format of the structure we pass to firmware is specified in
PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements), or the public version
LoPAPR (Linux on Power Architecture Platform Reference).

Referring to table 244 in LoPAPR v1.1, option vector 5 contains a 4 byte
field at bytes 17-20 for the "Platform Facilities Enable". This is
followed by a 1 byte field at byte 21 for "Sub-Processor Represenation
Level".

Comparing to the code, there we have the Platform Facilities
options (OV5_PFO_*) at byte 17, but we fail to pad that field out to its
full width of 4 bytes. This means the OV5_SUB_PROCESSORS option is
incorrectly placed at byte 18.

Fix it by adding zero bytes for bytes 18, 19, 20, and comment the bytes
to hopefully make it clearer in future.

As far as I'm aware nothing actually consumes this value at this time,
so the effect of this bug is nil in practice.

It does mean we've been incorrectly setting bit 15 of the "Platform
Facilities Enable" option for the past ~3 1/2 years, so we should avoid
allocating that bit to anything else in future.

<title>powerpc/mm: Don't alias user region to other regions below PAGE_OFFSET</title>

commit f077aaf0754bcba0fffdbd925bc12f09cd1e38aa upstream.

In commit c60ac5693c47 ("powerpc: Update kernel VSID range", 2013-03-13)
we lost a check on the region number (the top four bits of the effective
address) for addresses below PAGE_OFFSET.  That commit replaced a check
that the top 18 bits were all zero with a check that bits 46 - 59 were
zero (performed for all addresses, not just user addresses).

This means that userspace can access an address like 0x1000_0xxx_xxxx_xxxx
and we will insert a valid SLB entry for it.  The VSID used will be the
same as if the top 4 bits were 0, but the page size will be some random
value obtained by indexing beyond the end of the mm_ctx_high_slices_psize
array in the paca.  If that page size is the same as would be used for
region 0, then userspace just has an alias of the region 0 space.  If the
page size is different, then no HPTE will be found for the access, and
the process will get a SIGSEGV (since hash_page_mm() will refuse to create
a HPTE for the bogus address).

The access beyond the end of the mm_ctx_high_slices_psize can be at most
5.5MB past the array, and so will be in RAM somewhere.  Since the access
is a load performed in real mode, it won't fault or crash the kernel.
At most this bug could perhaps leak a little bit of information about
blocks of 32 bytes of memory located at offsets of i * 512kB past the
paca-&gt;mm_ctx_high_slices_psize array, for 1 &lt;= i &lt;= 11.

commit a9cbf0b2195b695cbeeeecaa4e2770948c212e9a upstream.

In a situation, where Linux kernel gets notified about duplicate error log
from OPAL, it is been observed that kernel fails to remove sysfs entries
(/sys/firmware/opal/elog/0xXXXXXXXX) of such error logs. This is because,
we currently search the error log/dump kobject in the kset list via
'kset_find_obj()' routine. Which eventually increment the reference count
by one, once it founds the kobject.

So, unless we decrement the reference count by one after it found the kobject,
we would not be able to release the kobject properly later.

This patch adds the 'kobject_put()' which was missing earlier.

tabort_syscall runs with RI=1, so a nested recoverable machine
check will load the paca into r13 and overwrite what we loaded
it with, because exceptions returning to privileged mode do not
restore r13.

<title>powerpc/tm: Avoid SLB faults in treclaim/trecheckpoint when RI=0</title>

commit 190ce8693c23eae09ba5f303a83bf2fbeb6478b1 upstream.

Currently we have 2 segments that are bolted for the kernel linear
mapping (ie 0xc000... addresses). This is 0 to 1TB and also the kernel
stacks. Anything accessed outside of these regions may need to be
faulted in. (In practice machines with TM always have 1T segments)

If a machine has &lt; 2TB of memory we never fault on the kernel linear
mapping as these two segments cover all physical memory. If a machine
has &gt; 2TB of memory, there may be structures outside of these two
segments that need to be faulted in. This faulting can occur when
running as a guest as the hypervisor may remove any SLB that's not
bolted.

When we treclaim and trecheckpoint we have a window where we need to
run with the userspace GPRs. This means that we no longer have a valid
stack pointer in r1. For this window we therefore clear MSR RI to
indicate that any exceptions taken at this point won't be able to be
handled. This means that we can't take segment misses in this RI=0
window.

In this RI=0 region, we currently access the thread_struct for the
process being context switched to or from. This thread_struct access
may cause a segment fault since it's not guaranteed to be covered by
the two bolted segment entries described above.

We've seen this with a crash when running as a guest with &gt; 2TB of
memory on PowerVM:

This fixes this by copying the required data from the thread_struct to
the stack before we clear MSR RI. Then once we clear RI, we only access
the stack, guaranteeing there's no segment miss.

We also tighten the region over which we set RI=0 on the treclaim()
path. This may have a slight performance impact since we're adding an
mtmsr instruction.

This fixes this by copying the required data from the thread_struct to
the stack before we clear MSR RI. Then once we clear RI, we only access
the stack, guaranteeing there's no segment miss.

We also tighten the region over which we set RI=0 on the treclaim()
path. This may have a slight performance impact since we're adding an
mtmsr instruction.

<title>powerpc/eeh: eeh_pci_enable(): fix checking of post-request state</title>

commit 949e9b827eb4736d96df520c67d07a54c64e99b8 upstream.

In eeh_pci_enable(), after making the request to set the new options, we
call eeh_ops-&gt;wait_state() to check that the request finished successfully.

At the moment, if eeh_ops-&gt;wait_state() returns 0, we return 0 without
checking that it reflects the expected outcome. This can lead to callers
further up the chain incorrectly assuming the slot has been successfully
unfrozen and continuing to attempt recovery.

On powernv, this will occur if pnv_eeh_get_pe_state() or
pnv_eeh_get_phb_state() return 0, which in turn occurs if the relevant OPAL
call returns OPAL_EEH_STOPPED_MMIO_DMA_FREEZE or
OPAL_EEH_PHB_ERROR respectively.

On pseries, this will occur if pseries_eeh_get_state() returns 0, which in
turn occurs if RTAS reports that the PE is in the MMIO Stopped and DMA
Stopped states.

Obviously, none of these cases represent a successful completion of a
request to thaw MMIO or DMA.

Fix the check so that a wait_state() return value of 0 won't be considered
successful for the EEH_OPT_THAW_MMIO or EEH_OPT_THAW_DMA cases.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save/restore TM state in H_CEDE</title>

commit 93d17397e4e2182fdaad503e2f9da46202c0f1c3 upstream.

It turns out that if the guest does a H_CEDE while the CPU is in
a transactional state, and the H_CEDE does a nap, and the nap
loses the architected state of the CPU (which is is allowed to do),
then we lose the checkpointed state of the virtual CPU.  In addition,
the transactional-memory state recorded in the MSR gets reset back
to non-transactional, and when we try to return to the guest, we take
a TM bad thing type of program interrupt because we are trying to
transition from non-transactional to transactional with a hrfid
instruction, which is not permitted.

The result of the program interrupt occurring at that point is that
the host CPU will hang in an infinite loop with interrupts disabled.
Thus this is a denial of service vulnerability in the host which can
be triggered by any guest (and depending on the guest kernel, it can
potentially triggered by unprivileged userspace in the guest).

This vulnerability has been assigned the ID CVE-2016-5412.

To fix this, we save the TM state before napping and restore it
on exit from the nap, when handling a H_CEDE in real mode.  The
case where H_CEDE exits to host virtual mode is already OK (as are
other hcalls which exit to host virtual mode) because the exit
path saves the TM state.

commit f024ee098476a3e620232e4a78cfac505f121245 upstream.

This moves the transactional memory state save and restore sequences
out of the guest entry/exit paths into separate procedures.  This is
so that these sequences can be used in going into and out of nap
in a subsequent patch.

The only code changes here are (a) saving and restore LR on the
stack, since these new procedures get called with a bl instruction,
(b) explicitly saving r1 into the PACA instead of assuming that
HSTATE_HOST_R1(r13) is already set, and (c) removing an unnecessary
and redundant setting of MSR[TM] that should have been removed by
commit 9d4d0bdd9e0a ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add transactional memory
support", 2013-09-24) but wasn't.
