IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1 cache
before it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction mechanism. It
is not possible for an attacker to determine the contents of impermissible
memory using this method, since these systems implement a combination of
hardware and software security measures to prevent scenarios where
protected data could be leaked.
However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker induces
the operating system to speculatively execute instructions using data that
the attacker controls. This can be used for example to speculatively bypass
"kernel user access prevention" techniques, as discovered by Anthony
Steinhauser of Google's Safeside Project. This is not an attack by itself,
but there is a possibility it could be used in conjunction with
side-channels or other weaknesses in the privileged code to construct an
attack.
This issue can be mitigated by flushing the L1 cache between privilege
boundaries of concern. This patch flushes the L1 cache after user accesses.
This is part of the fix for CVE-2020-4788.

A recent change to the checksum code removed usage of some extra
arguments, alongside with storage on the stack for those, and the stack
pointer no longer needed to be adjusted in the function prologue.
But a left over subtraction wasn't removed in the function epilogue,
causing the function to return with the stack pointer moved 16 bytes
away from where it should have. This corrupted local state and lead to
weird crashes.
This simply removes the leftover instruction from the epilogue.

relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.
Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().
Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.
One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

... and get rid of the pointless fallback in the wrappers. On error it used
to zero the unwritten area and calculate the csum of the entire thing. Not
wanting to do it in assembler part had been very reasonable; doing that in
the first place, OTOH... In case of an error the caller discards the data
we'd copied, along with whatever checksum it might've had.

All callers of these primitives will
* discard anything we might've copied in case of error
* ignore the csum value in case of error
* always pass 0xffffffff as the initial sum, so the
resulting csum value (in case of success, that is) will never be 0.
That suggest the following calling conventions:
* don't pass err_ptr - just return 0 on error.
* don't bother with zeroing destination, etc. in case of error
* don't pass the initial sum - just use 0xffffffff.
This commit does the minimal conversion in the instances of csum_and_copy_...();
the changes of actual asm code behind them are done later in the series.
Note that this asm code is often shared with csum_partial_copy_nocheck();
the difference is that csum_partial_copy_nocheck() passes 0 for initial
sum while csum_and_copy_..._user() pass 0xffffffff. Fortunately, we are
free to pass 0xffffffff in all cases and subsequent patches will use that
freedom without any special comments.
A part that could be split off: parisc and uml/i386 claimed to have
csum_and_copy_to_user() instances of their own, but those were identical
to the generic one, so we simply drop them. Not sure if it's worth
a separate commit...

These have shown significantly improved performance and fairness when
spinlock contention is moderate to high on very large systems.
With this series including subsequent patches, on a 16 socket 1536
thread POWER9, a stress test such as same-file open/close from all
CPUs gets big speedups, 11620op/s aggregate with simple spinlocks vs
384158op/s (33x faster), where the difference in throughput between
the fastest and slowest thread goes from 7x to 1.4x.
Thanks to the fast path being identical in terms of atomics and
barriers (after a subsequent optimisation patch), single threaded
performance is not changed (no measurable difference).
On smaller systems, performance and fairness seems to be generally
improved. Using dbench on tmpfs as a test (that starts to run into
kernel spinlock contention), a 2-socket OpenPOWER POWER9 system was
tested with bare metal and KVM guest configurations. Results can be
found here:
https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/305#issuecomment-663487453
Observations are:
- Queued spinlocks are equal when contention is insignificant, as
expected and as measured with microbenchmarks.
- When there is contention, on bare metal queued spinlocks have better
throughput and max latency at all points.
- When virtualised, queued spinlocks are slightly worse approaching
peak throughput, but significantly better throughput and max latency
at all points beyond peak, until queued spinlock maximum latency
rises when clients are 2x vCPUs.
The regressions haven't been analysed very well yet, there are a lot
of things that can be tuned, particularly the paravirtualised locking,
but the numbers already look like a good net win even on relatively
small systems.

From Nick's cover letter:
Linux powerpc new system call instruction and ABI
System Call Vectored (scv) ABI
==============================
The scv instruction is introduced with POWER9 / ISA3, it comes with an
rfscv counter-part. The benefit of these instructions is
performance (trading slower SRR0/1 with faster LR/CTR registers, and
entering the kernel with MSR[EE] and MSR[RI] left enabled, which can
reduce MSR updates. The scv instruction has 128 levels (not enough to
cover the Linux system call space).
Assignment and advertisement
----------------------------
The proposal is to assign scv levels conservatively, and advertise
them with HWCAP feature bits as we add support for more.
Linux has not enabled FSCR[SCV] yet, so executing the scv instruction
will cause the kernel to log a "SCV facility unavilable" message, and
deliver a SIGILL with ILL_ILLOPC to the process. Linux has defined a
HWCAP2 bit PPC_FEATURE2_SCV for SCV support, but does not set it.
This change allocates the zero level ('scv 0'), advertised with
PPC_FEATURE2_SCV, which will be used to provide normal Linux system
calls (equivalent to 'sc').
Attempting to execute scv with other levels will cause a SIGILL to be
delivered the same as before, but will not log a "SCV facility
unavailable" message (because the processor facility is enabled).
Calling convention
------------------
The proposal is for scv 0 to provide the standard Linux system call
ABI with the following differences from sc convention[1]:
- LR is to be volatile across scv calls. This is necessary because the
scv instruction clobbers LR. From previous discussion, this should
be possible to deal with in GCC clobbers and CFI.
- cr1 and cr5-cr7 are volatile. This matches the C ABI and would allow
the kernel system call exit to avoid restoring the volatile cr
registers (although we probably still would anyway to avoid
information leaks).
- Error handling: The consensus among kernel, glibc, and musl is to
move to using negative return values in r3 rather than CR0[SO]=1 to
indicate error, which matches most other architectures, and is
closer to a function call.
Notes
-----
- r0,r4-r8 are documented as volatile in the ABI, but the kernel patch
as submitted currently preserves them. This is to leave room for
deciding which way to go with these. Some small benefit was found by
preserving them[1] but I'm not convinced it's worth deviating from
the C function call ABI just for this. Release code should follow
the ABI.

There are quite a few places where instructions are printed, this is
done using a '%x' format specifier. With the introduction of prefixed
instructions, this does not work well. Currently in these places,
ppc_inst_val() is used for the value for %x so only the first word of
prefixed instructions are printed.
When the instructions are word instructions, only a single word should
be printed. For prefixed instructions both the prefix and suffix should
be printed. To accommodate both of these situations, instead of a '%x'
specifier use '%s' and introduce a helper, __ppc_inst_as_str() which
returns a char *. The char * __ppc_inst_as_str() returns is buffer that
is passed to it by the caller.
It is cumbersome to require every caller of __ppc_inst_as_str() to now
declare a buffer. To make it more convenient to use __ppc_inst_as_str(),
wrap it in a macro that uses a compound statement to allocate a buffer
on the caller's stack before calling it.

Use the existing support for testing compute type instructions to test
Prefixed Add Immediate (paddi). The R bit of the paddi instruction
controls whether current instruction address is used. Add test cases
for when R=1 and for R=0. paddi has a 34 bit immediate field formed by
concatenating si0 and si1. Add tests for the extreme values of this
field.
Skip the paddi tests if ISA v3.1 is unsupported.
Some of these test cases were added by Balamuruhan S.

The tests for emulation of compute instructions execute and
emulate an instruction and then compare the results to verify the
emulation. In ISA v3.1 there are instructions that operate relative to
the NIP. Therefore set the NIP in the regs used for the emulated
instruction to the location of the executed instruction so they will
give the same result.
This is a rework of a patch by Balamuruhan S.

Add support for the scv instruction on POWER9 and later CPUs.
For now this implements the zeroth scv vector 'scv 0', as identical to
'sc' system calls, with the exception that LR is not preserved, nor
are volatile CR registers, and error is not indicated with CR0[SO],
but by returning a negative errno.
rfscv is implemented to return from scv type system calls. It can not
be used to return from sc system calls because those are defined to
preserve LR.
getpid syscall throughput on POWER9 is improved by 26% (428 to 318
cycles), largely due to reducing mtmsr and mtspr.

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.
The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.
Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.
static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}
static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}
These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.
For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.
These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.
This patch (of 12):
The linux/mm.h header includes <asm/pgtable.h> to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include <asm/pgtable.h>
in the files that include <linux/mm.h>.
The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:
for f in $(git grep -l "include <linux/mm.h>") ; do
sed -i -e '/include <asm\/pgtable.h>/ d' $f
done

The code patching code wants to get the value of a struct ppc_inst as
a u64 when the instruction is prefixed, so we can pass the u64 down to
__put_user_asm() and write it with a single store.
The optprobes code wants to load a struct ppc_inst as an immediate
into a register so it is useful to have it as a u64 to use the
existing helper function.
Currently this is a bit awkward because the value differs based on the
CPU endianness, so add a helper to do the conversion.
This fixes the usage in arch_prepare_optimized_kprobe() which was
previously incorrect on big endian.

In a few places we want to calculate the address of the next
instruction. Previously that was simple, we just added 4 bytes, or if
using a u32 * we incremented that pointer by 1.
But prefixed instructions make it more complicated, we need to advance
by either 4 or 8 bytes depending on the actual instruction. We also
can't do pointer arithmetic using struct ppc_inst, because it is
always 8 bytes in size on 64-bit, even though we might only need to
advance by 4 bytes.
So add a ppc_inst_next() helper which calculates the location of the
next instruction, if the given instruction was located at the given
address. Note the instruction doesn't need to actually be at the
address in memory.
Although it would seem natural for the value to be passed by value,
that makes it too easy to write a loop that will read off the end of a
page, eg:
for (; src < end; src = ppc_inst_next(src, *src),
dest = ppc_inst_next(dest, *dest))
As noticed by Christophe and Jordan, if end is the exact end of a
page, and the next page is not mapped, this will fault, because *dest
will read 8 bytes, 4 bytes into the next page.
So value is passed by reference, so the helper can be careful to use
ppc_inst_read() on it.
