[ Upstream commit 0cf72f7f14d12cb065c3d01954cf42fc5638aa69 ]

The hypervisor returns migration failure if all VAS windows are not
closed. During pre-migration stage, vas_migration_handler() sets
migration_in_progress flag and closes all windows from the list.
The allocate VAS window routine checks the migration flag, setup
the window and then add it to the list. So there is possibility of
the migration handler missing the window that is still in the
process of setup.

t1: Allocate and open VAS	t2: Migration event
    window

lock vas_pseries_mutex
If migration_in_progress set
  unlock vas_pseries_mutex
  return
open window HCALL
unlock vas_pseries_mutex
Modify window HCALL		lock vas_pseries_mutex
setup window			migration_in_progress=true
				Closes all windows from the list
				// May miss windows that are
				// not in the list
				unlock vas_pseries_mutex
lock vas_pseries_mutex		return
if nr_closed_windows == 0
  // No DLPAR CPU or migration
  add window to the list
  // Window will be added to the
  // list after the setup is completed
  unlock vas_pseries_mutex
  return
unlock vas_pseries_mutex
Close VAS window
// due to DLPAR CPU or migration
return -EBUSY

This patch resolves the issue with the following steps:
- Set the migration_in_progress flag without holding mutex.
- Introduce nr_open_wins_progress counter in VAS capabilities
  struct
- This counter tracks the number of open windows are still in
  progress
- The allocate setup window thread closes windows if the migration
  is set and decrements nr_open_window_progress counter
- The migration handler waits for no in-progress open windows.

The code flow with the fix is as follows:

t1: Allocate and open VAS       t2: Migration event
    window

lock vas_pseries_mutex
If migration_in_progress set
   unlock vas_pseries_mutex
   return
open window HCALL
nr_open_wins_progress++
// Window opened, but not
// added to the list yet
unlock vas_pseries_mutex
Modify window HCALL		migration_in_progress=true
setup window			lock vas_pseries_mutex
				Closes all windows from the list
				While nr_open_wins_progress {
				    unlock vas_pseries_mutex
lock vas_pseries_mutex		    sleep
if nr_closed_windows == 0	    // Wait if any open window in
or migration is not started	    // progress. The open window
   // No DLPAR CPU or migration	    // thread closes the window without
   add window to the list	    // adding to the list and return if
   nr_open_wins_progress--	    // the migration is in progress.
   unlock vas_pseries_mutex
   return
Close VAS window
nr_open_wins_progress--
unlock vas_pseries_mutex
return -EBUSY			    lock vas_pseries_mutex
				}
				unlock vas_pseries_mutex
				return

<title>kexec: fix KEXEC_FILE dependencies</title>

[ Upstream commit c1ad12ee0efc07244be37f69311e6f7c4ac98e62 ]

The cleanup for the CONFIG_KEXEC Kconfig logic accidentally changed the
'depends on CRYPTO=y' dependency to a plain 'depends on CRYPTO', which
causes a link failure when all the crypto support is in a loadable module
and kexec_file support is built-in:

x86_64-linux-ld: vmlinux.o: in function `__x64_sys_kexec_file_load':
(.text+0x32e30a): undefined reference to `crypto_alloc_shash'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.text+0x32e58e): undefined reference to `crypto_shash_update'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.text+0x32e6ee): undefined reference to `crypto_shash_final'

Both s390 and x86 have this problem, while ppc64 and riscv have the
correct dependency already.  On riscv, the dependency is only used for the
purgatory, not for the kexec_file code itself, which may be a bit
surprising as it means that with CONFIG_CRYPTO=m, it is possible to enable
KEXEC_FILE but then the purgatory code is silently left out.

Move this into the common Kconfig.kexec file in a way that is correct
everywhere, using the dependency on CRYPTO_SHA256=y only when the
purgatory code is available.  This requires reversing the dependency
between ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_PURGATORY and KEXEC_FILE, but the effect
remains the same, other than making riscv behave like the other ones.

On s390, there is an additional dependency on CRYPTO_SHA256_S390, which
should technically not be required but gives better performance.  Remove
this dependency here, noting that it was not present in the initial
Kconfig code but was brought in without an explanation in commit
71406883fd357 ("s390/kexec_file: Add kexec_file_load system call").

Commit 41a506ef71eb ("powerpc/ftrace: Create a dummy stackframe to fix
stack unwind") added use of a new stack frame on ftrace entry to fix
stack unwind. However, the commit missed updating the offset used while
tearing down the ftrace stack when ftrace is disabled. Fix the same.

In addition, the commit missed saving the correct stack pointer in
pt_regs. Update the same.

[ Upstream commit 3bf983e4e93ce8e6d69e9d63f52a66ec0856672e ]

When a device is initialized, the driver invokes dma_supported() twice -
first for streaming mappings followed by coherent mappings. For an
SR-IOV device, default window is deleted and DDW created. With vPMEM
enabled, TCE mappings are dynamically created for both vPMEM and SR-IOV
device.  There are no direct mappings.

First time when dma_supported() is called with 64 bit mask, DDW is created
and marked as dynamic window. The second time dma_supported() is called,
enable_ddw() finds existing window for the device and incorrectly returns
it as "direct mapping".

This only happens when size of DDW is big enough to map max LPAR memory.

This results in streaming TCEs to not get dynamically mapped, since code
incorrently assumes these are already pre-mapped. The adapter initially
comes up but goes down due to EEH.

commit 5e1d824f9a283cbf90f25241b66d1f69adb3835b upstream.

During floating point and vector save to thread data f0/vs0 are
clobbered by the FPSCR/VSCR store routine. This has been obvserved to
lead to userspace register corruption and application data corruption
with io-uring.

Fix it by restoring f0/vs0 after FPSCR/VSCR store has completed for
all the FP, altivec, VMX register save paths.

Tested under QEMU in kvm mode, running on a Talos II workstation with
dual POWER9 DD2.2 CPUs.

Additional detail (mpe):

Typically save_fpu() is called from __giveup_fpu() which saves the FP
regs and also *turns off FP* in the tasks MSR, meaning the kernel will
reload the FP regs from the thread struct before letting the task use FP
again. So in that case save_fpu() is free to clobber f0 because the FP
regs no longer hold live values for the task.

There is another case though, which is the path via:
  sys_clone()
    ...
    copy_process()
      dup_task_struct()
        arch_dup_task_struct()
          flush_all_to_thread()
            save_all()

That path saves the FP regs but leaves them live. That's meant as an
optimisation for a process that's using FP/VSX and then calls fork(),
leaving the regs live means the parent process doesn't have to take a
fault after the fork to get its FP regs back. The optimisation was added
in commit 8792468da5e1 ("powerpc: Add the ability to save FPU without
giving it up").

That path does clobber f0, but f0 is volatile across function calls,
and typically programs reach copy_process() from userspace via a syscall
wrapper function. So in normal usage f0 being clobbered across a
syscall doesn't cause visible data corruption.

But there is now a new path, because io-uring can call copy_process()
via create_io_thread() from the signal handling path. That's OK if the
signal is handled as part of syscall return, but it's not OK if the
signal is handled due to some other interrupt.

That path is:

interrupt_return_srr_user()
  interrupt_exit_user_prepare()
    interrupt_exit_user_prepare_main()
      do_notify_resume()
        get_signal()
          task_work_run()
            create_worker_cb()
              create_io_worker()
                copy_process()
                  dup_task_struct()
                    arch_dup_task_struct()
                      flush_all_to_thread()
                        save_all()
                          if (tsk-&gt;thread.regs-&gt;msr &amp; MSR_FP)
                            save_fpu()
                            # f0 is clobbered and potentially live in userspace

Note the above discussion applies equally to save_altivec().

commit dc158d23b33df9033bcc8e7117e8591dd2f9d125 upstream.

Before running a guest, the host process (e.g., QEMU) FP/VEC registers
are saved if they were being used, similarly to when the kernel uses FP
registers. The guest values are then loaded into regs, and the host
process registers will be restored lazily when it uses FP/VEC.

KVM HV has a bug here: the host process registers do get saved, but the
user MSR bits remain enabled, which indicates the registers are valid
for the process. After they are clobbered by running the guest, this
valid indication causes the host process to take on the FP/VEC register
values of the guest.

commit ea142e590aec55ba40c5affb4d49e68c713c63dc upstream.

When the PMU is disabled, MMCRA is not updated to disable BHRB and
instruction sampling. This can lead to those features remaining enabled,
which can slow down a real or emulated CPU.

<title>powerpc/vmcore: Add MMU information to vmcoreinfo</title>

[ Upstream commit 36e826b568e412f61d68fedc02a67b4d8b7583cc ]

Since below commit, address mapping for vmemmap has changed for Radix
MMU, where address mapping is stored in kernel page table itself,
instead of earlier used 'vmemmap_list'.

    commit 368a0590d954 ("powerpc/book3s64/vmemmap: switch radix to use
    a different vmemmap handling function")

Hence with upstream kernel, in case of Radix MMU, makedumpfile fails
to do address translation for vmemmap addresses, as it depended on
vmemmap_list, which can now be empty.

While fixing the address translation in makedumpfile, it was identified
that currently makedumpfile cannot distinguish between Hash MMU and
Radix MMU, unless VMLINUX is passed with -x flag to makedumpfile. And
hence fails to assign offsets and shifts correctly (such as in L4 to
PGDIR offset calculation in makedumpfile).

For getting the MMU, makedumpfile uses `cur_cpu_spec.mmu_features`.

Add `cur_cpu_spec` symbol and offset of `mmu_features` in the `cpu_spec`
struct, to VMCOREINFO, so that makedumpfile can assign the offsets
correctly, without needing a VMLINUX.

Also, even along with `cur_cpu_spec-&gt;mmu_features` makedumpfile has to
depend on the 'MMU_FTR_TYPE_RADIX' flag in mmu_features, implying kernel
developers need to be cautious of changes to 'MMU_FTR_*' defines.

A more stable approach was suggested in the below thread by contributors:
 https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20230920105706.853626-1-adityag@linux.ibm.com/

The suggestion was to add whether 'RADIX_MMU' is enabled in vmcoreinfo

This patch also implements the suggestion, by adding 'RADIX_MMU' in
vmcoreinfo, which makedumpfile can use to get whether the crashed system
had RADIX MMU (in which case 'NUMBER(RADIX_MMU)=1') or not (in which
case 'NUMBER(RADIX_MMU)=0')
