commit 27072b8e18a73ffeffb1c140939023915a35134b upstream.

When the CMMA state needs to be reset, the no-dat bit also needs to be
reset. Failure to do so could cause issues in the guest, since the
guest expects the bit to be cleared after a reset.

<title>x86/CPU/AMD: Check vendor in the AMD microcode callback</title>

commit 9b8493dc43044376716d789d07699f17d538a7c4 upstream.

Commit in Fixes added an AMD-specific microcode callback. However, it
didn't check the CPU vendor the kernel runs on explicitly.

The only reason the Zenbleed check in it didn't run on other x86 vendors
hardware was pure coincidental luck:

  if (!cpu_has_amd_erratum(c, amd_zenbleed))
	  return;

gives true on other vendors because they don't have those families and
models.

However, with the removal of the cpu_has_amd_erratum() in

  05f5f73936fa ("x86/CPU/AMD: Drop now unused CPU erratum checking function")

that coincidental condition is gone, leading to the zenbleed check
getting executed on other vendors too.

Add the explicit vendor check for the whole callback as it should've
been done in the first place.

[ Upstream commit 44d93045247661acbd50b1629e62f415f2747577 ]

If the cmma no-dat feature is available the kernel page tables are walked
to identify and mark all pages which are used for address translation (all
region, segment, and page tables). In a subsequent loop all other pages are
marked as "no-dat" pages with the ESSA instruction.

This information is visible to the hypervisor, so that the hypervisor can
optimize purging of guest TLB entries. The initial loop however is
incorrect: only the first three of the four pages which belong to segment
and region tables will be marked as being used for DAT. The last page is
incorrectly marked as no-dat.

This can result in incorrect guest TLB flushes.

Fix this by simply marking all four pages.

<content type='text'>
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 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.

    ...
    copy_process()
      dup_task_struct()
        arch_dup_task_struct()

            save_all()

                      flush_all_to_thread()
                        save_all()
                          if (tsk-&gt;thread.regs-&gt;msr &amp; MSR_FP)
