binutils >= 2.26 now warns about misuse of register expressions in
assembler operands that are actually literals, for example:
arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S:535: Warning: invalid register expression
In practice these are almost all uses of r0 that should just be a
literal 0.

Testing the fortified string functions[1] would cause a kernel panic on
boot in test_feature_fixups() due to a buffer overflow in memcmp.
This boils down to things like this:
extern unsigned int ftr_fixup_test1;
extern unsigned int ftr_fixup_test1_orig;
check(memcmp(&ftr_fixup_test1, &ftr_fixup_test1_orig, size) == 0);
We know that these are asm labels so it is safe to read up to 'size'
bytes at those addresses.
However, because we have passed the address of a single unsigned int to
memcmp, the compiler believes the underlying object is in fact a single
unsigned int. So if size > sizeof(unsigned int), there will be a panic
at runtime.
We can fix this by changing the types: instead of calling the asm labels
unsigned ints, call them unsigned int[]s. Therefore the size isn't
incorrectly determined at compile time and we get a regular unsafe
memcmp and no panic.

From POWER4 onwards, mfocrf() only places the specified CR field into
the destination GPR, and the rest of it is set to 0. The PowerPC AS
from version 3.0 now requires this behaviour.
The emulation code currently puts the entire CR into the destination GPR.
Fix it.

The mcrf emulation code was using the CR field number directly as the shift
value, without taking into account that CR fields are numbered from 0-7 starting
at the high bits. That meant it was looking at the CR fields in the reverse

This patch creates the window using text_poke_area, allocated via
get_vm_area(). text_poke_area is per CPU to avoid locking.
text_poke_area for each cpu is setup using late_initcall, prior to
setup of these alternate mapping areas, we continue to use direct
write to change/modify kernel text. With the ability to use alternate
mappings to write to kernel text, it provides us the freedom to then
turn text read-only and implement CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX.
This code is CPU hotplug aware to ensure that the we have mappings for
any new cpus as they come online and tear down mappings for any CPUs
that go offline.

enable_kernel_altivec()
The xor_vmx.c file is used for the RAID5 xor operations. In these functions
altivec is enabled to run the operation and then disabled.
The code uses enable_kernel_altivec() around the core of the algorithm, however
the whole file is built with -maltivec, so the compiler is within its rights to
generate altivec code anywhere. This has been seen at least once in the wild:

This patch splits the non-altivec code into xor_vmx_glue.c which calls the
altivec functions in xor_vmx.c. By compiling xor_vmx_glue.c without
-maltivec we can guarantee that altivec instruction will not be executed
outside of the enable/disable block.

Experiments with the netperf benchmark indicated that the size selecting
VMX-based copies in __copy_tofrom_user_power7() was suboptimal on POWER8.
Measurements showed that parity was in the neighbourhood of 3328 bytes,
rather than greater than 4096. The change gives a 1.5-2.0% improvement in
performance for 4096-byte buffers, reducing the relative time spent in
__copy_tofrom_user_power7() from approximately 7% to approximately 5% in
the TCP_RR benchmark.

Along similar lines as commit 9326638cbee2 ("kprobes, x86: Use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()
instead of __kprobes annotation"), convert __kprobes annotation to either
NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() or nokprobe_inline. The latter forces inlining, in which case
the caller needs to be added to NOKPROBE_SYMBOL().
Also:
- blacklist arch_deref_entry_point(), and
- convert a few regular inlines to nokprobe_inline in lib/sstep.c
A key benefit is the ability to detect such symbols as being
blacklisted. Before this patch:
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/blacklist | grep read_mem
$ perf probe read_mem
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
Error: Failed to add events.
$ dmesg | tail -1
[ 3736.112815] Could not insert probe at _text+10014968: -22
After patch:
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/blacklist | grep read_mem
0xc000000000072b50-0xc000000000072d20 read_mem
$ perf probe read_mem
read_mem is blacklisted function, skip it.
Added new events:
(null):(null) (on read_mem)
probe:read_mem (on read_mem)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:read_mem -aR sleep 1
$ grep " read_mem" /proc/kallsyms

Often all is needed is these small helpers, instead of compiler.h or a
full kprobes.h. This is important for asm helpers, in fact even some
asm/kprobes.h make use of these helpers... instead just keep a generic
asm file with helpers useful for asm code with the least amount of
clutter as possible.
Likewise we need now to also address what to do about this file for both
when architectures have CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES, and when they do not. Then
for when architectures have CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES but have disabled
CONFIG_KPROBES.
Right now most asm/kprobes.h do not have guards against CONFIG_KPROBES,
this means most architecture code cannot include asm/kprobes.h safely.
Correct this and add guards for architectures missing them.
Additionally provide architectures that not have kprobes support with
the default asm-generic solution. This lets us force asm/kprobes.h on
the header include/linux/kprobes.h always, but most importantly we can
now safely include just asm/kprobes.h on architecture code without
bringing the full kitchen sink of header files.
Two architectures already provided a guard against CONFIG_KPROBES on its
kprobes.h: sh, arch. The rest of the architectures needed gaurds added.
We avoid including any not-needed headers on asm/kprobes.h unless
kprobes have been enabled.
In a subsequent atomic change we can try now to remove compiler.h from
include/linux/kprobes.h.
During this sweep I've also identified a few architectures defining a
common macro needed for both kprobes and ftrace, that of the definition
of the breakput instruction up. Some refer to this as
BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION. This must be kept outside of the #ifdef
CONFIG_KPROBES guard.

Current infrastructure of kprobe uses the unconditional trap instruction
to probe a running kernel. Optprobe allows kprobe to replace the trap
with a branch instruction to a detour buffer. Detour buffer contains
instructions to create an in memory pt_regs. Detour buffer also has a
call to optimized_callback() which in turn call the pre_handler(). After
the execution of the pre-handler, a call is made for instruction
emulation. The NIP is determined in advanced through dummy instruction
emulation and a branch instruction is created to the NIP at the end of
the trampoline.
To address the limitation of branch instruction in POWER architecture,
detour buffer slot is allocated from a reserved area. For the time
being, 64KB is reserved in memory for this purpose.
Instructions which can be emulated using analyse_instr() are the
candidates for optimization. Before optimization ensure that the address
range between the detour buffer allocated and the instruction being
probed is within +/- 32MB.

To permit the use of relative branch instruction in powerpc, the target
address has to be relatively nearby, since the address is specified in an

nearby refers to 32MB on either side of the current instruction.
This patch verifies whether the target address is within +/- 32MB

Debugging a data corruption issue with virtio-net/vhost-net led to
the observation that __copy_tofrom_user was occasionally returning
a value 16 larger than it should. Since the return value from
__copy_tofrom_user is the number of bytes not copied, this means
that __copy_tofrom_user can occasionally return a value larger
than the number of bytes it was asked to copy. In turn this can
cause higher-level copy functions such as copy_page_to_iter_iovec
to corrupt memory by copying data into the wrong memory locations.
It turns out that the failing case involves a fault on the store
at label 79, and at that point the first unmodified byte of the
destination is at R3 + 16. Consequently the exception handler
for that store needs to add 16 to R3 before using it to work out
how many bytes were not copied, but in this one case it was not
adding the offset to R3. To fix it, this moves the label 179 to
the point where we add 16 to R3. I have checked manually all the
exception handlers for the loads and stores in this code and the
rest of them are correct (it would be excellent to have an
automated test of all the exception cases).
This bug has been present since this code was initially
committed in May 2002 to Linux version 2.5.20.

Commit 2578bfae84a7 ("[POWERPC] Create and use CONFIG_WORD_SIZE") added
CONFIG_WORD_SIZE, and suggests that other arches were going to do
likewise.
But that never happened, powerpc is the only architecture which uses it.
So switch to using a simple make variable, BITS, like x86, sh, sparc and
tile. It is also easier to spell and simpler, avoiding any confusion
about whether it's defined due to ordering of make vs kconfig.

In that case the resulting csum value doesn't have to be rotated one

Those definitions are obsolete since commit 312b1485fb50 ("Introduce new

them treewide.

#define __init_refok __ref
#define __initdata_refok __refdata

We do binary patching of asm code using CPU features, which is a
one-time operation, done during early boot. However checks of CPU
features in C code are currently done at run time, even though the set
of CPU features can never change after boot.
We can optimise this by using jump labels to implement cpu_has_feature(),
meaning checks in C code are binary patched into a single nop or branch.
For a C sequence along the lines of:
if (cpu_has_feature(FOO))
return 2;
The generated code before is roughly:
ld r9,-27640(r2)
ld r9,0(r9)
lwz r9,32(r9)
cmpwi cr7,r9,0
bge cr7, 1f
li r3,2
blr
1: ...
After (true):
nop
li r3,2
blr
After (false):
b 1f
li r3,2
blr
1: ...
mpe: Rename MAX_CPU_FEATURES as we already have a #define with that
name, and define it simply as a constant, rather than doing tricks with
sizeof and NULL pointers. Rename the array to cpu_feature_keys. Use the
kconfig we added to guard it. Add BUILD_BUG_ON() if the feature is not a
compile time constant. Rewrite the change log.

Early in boot we binary patch some sections of code based on the CPU and
MMU feature bits. But it is a one-time patching, there is no facility
for repatching the code later if the set of features change.
It is a major bug if the set of features changes after we've done the
code patching - so add a check for it.

There is an ordering issue with spin_unlock_wait() on powerpc, because
the spin_lock primitive is an ACQUIRE and an ACQUIRE is only ordering
the load part of the operation with memory operations following it.
Therefore the following event sequence can happen:
CPU 1 CPU 2 CPU 3
================== ==================== ==============
spin_unlock(&lock);
spin_lock(&lock):
r1 = *lock; // r1 == 0;
o = object; o = READ_ONCE(object); // reordered here
object = NULL;
smp_mb();
spin_unlock_wait(&lock);
*lock = 1;
smp_mb();
o->dead = true; < o = READ_ONCE(object); > // reordered upwards
if (o) // true
BUG_ON(o->dead); // true!!
To fix this, we add a "nop" ll/sc loop in arch_spin_unlock_wait() on
ppc, the "nop" ll/sc loop reads the lock
value and writes it back atomically, in this way it will synchronize the
view of the lock on CPU1 with that on CPU2. Therefore in the scenario
above, either CPU2 will fail to get the lock at first or CPU1 will see
the lock acquired by CPU2, both cases will eliminate this bug. This is a
similar idea as what Will Deacon did for ARM64 in:
d86b8da04dfa ("arm64: spinlock: serialise spin_unlock_wait against concurrent lockers")
Furthermore, if the "nop" ll/sc figures out the lock is locked, we
actually don't need to do the "nop" ll/sc trick again, we can just do a
normal load+check loop for the lock to be released, because in that
case, spin_unlock_wait() is called when someone is holding the lock, and
the store part of the "nop" ll/sc happens before the lock release of the
current lock holder:
"nop" ll/sc -> spin_unlock()
and the lock release happens before the next lock acquisition:
spin_unlock() -> spin_lock() <next holder>
which means the "nop" ll/sc happens before the next lock acquisition:
"nop" ll/sc -> spin_unlock() -> spin_lock() <next holder>
With a smp_mb() preceding spin_unlock_wait(), the store of object is
guaranteed to be observed by the next lock holder:
STORE -> smp_mb() -> "nop" ll/sc
-> spin_unlock() -> spin_lock() <next holder>
This patch therefore fixes the issue and also cleans the
arch_spin_unlock_wait() a little bit by removing superfluous memory
barriers in loops and consolidating the implementations for PPC32 and
PPC64 into one.
