158f19698b powerpc: Fix check for copy/paste instructions in alignment handler
Commit 07d2a628bc ("powerpc/64s: Avoid cpabort in context switch
when possible", 2017-06-09) changed the definition of PPC_INST_COPY
and in so doing inadvertently broke the check for copy/paste
instructions in the alignment fault handler. The check currently
matches no instructions.

This fixes it by ANDing both sides of the comparison with the mask.

1bc944cee6 powerpc: Fix handling of alignment interrupt on dcbz instruction
This fixes the emulation of the dcbz instruction in the alignment
interrupt handler.  The error was that we were comparing just the
instruction type field of op.type rather than the whole thing,
and therefore the comparison "type != CACHEOP + DCBZ" was always
true.

31bfdb036f powerpc: Use instruction emulation infrastructure to handle alignment faults
This replaces almost all of the instruction emulation code in
fix_alignment() with calls to analyse_instr(), emulate_loadstore()
and emulate_dcbz().  The only emulation code left is the SPE
emulation code; analyse_instr() etc. do not handle SPE instructions
at present.

One result of this is that we can now handle alignment faults on
all the new VSX load and store instructions that were added in POWER9.
VSX loads/stores will take alignment faults for unaligned accesses
to cache-inhibited memory.

Another effect is that we no longer rely on the DAR and DSISR values
set by the processor.

With this, we now need to include the instruction emulation code
unconditionally.

f9effe9250 powerpc: Fix DAR reporting when alignment handler faults
Anton noticed that if we fault part way through emulating an unaligned
instruction, we don't update the DAR to reflect that.

The DAR value is eventually reported back to userspace as the address
in the SEGV signal, and if userspace is using that value to demand
fault then it can be confused by us not setting the value correctly.

This patch is ugly as hell, but is intended to be the minimal fix and
back ports easily.

48fe9e9488 powerpc: Don't try to fix up misaligned load-with-reservation instructions
In the past, there was only one load-with-reservation instruction,
lwarx, and if a program attempted a lwarx on a misaligned address, it
would take an alignment interrupt and the kernel handler would emulate
it as though it was lwzx, which was not really correct, but benign since
it is loading the right amount of data, and the lwarx should be paired
with a stwcx. to the same address, which would also cause an alignment
interrupt which would result in a SIGBUS being delivered to the process.

We now have 5 different sizes of load-with-reservation instruction. Of
those, lharx and ldarx cause an immediate SIGBUS by luck since their
entries in aligninfo[] overlap instructions which were not fixed up, but
lqarx overlaps with lhz and will be emulated as such. lbarx can never
generate an alignment interrupt since it only operates on 1 byte.

To straighten this out and fix the lqarx case, this adds code to detect
the l[hwdq]arx instructions and return without fixing them up, resulting
in a SIGBUS being delivered to the process.

b92a226e52 powerpc: Move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file
We plan to use jump label for cpu_has_feature(). In order to implement
this we need to include the linux/jump_label.h in asm/cputable.h.

Unfortunately if we do that it leads to an include loop. The root of the
problem seems to be that reg.h needs cputable.h (for CPU_FTRs), and then
cputable.h via jump_label.h eventually pulls in hw_irq.h which needs
reg.h (for MSR_EE).

So move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file on its own.

ae26b36f80 powerpc: Send SIGBUS on unaligned copy and paste
Calling ISA 3.0 instructions copy, copy_first, paste and paste_last
generates an alignment fault when copying or pasting unaligned
data (128 byte). We catch this and send SIGBUS to the userspace
process that caused it.

We do not emulate these because paste may contain additional metadata
when pasting to a co-processor and paste_last is the synchronisation
point for preceding copy/paste sequences.

a9650e9bc5 powerpc/align: Use #ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN__ #else for REG_BYTE
Sparse complains that it doesn't know what REG_BYTE is:

  arch/powerpc/kernel/align.c:313:29: error: undefined identifier 'REG_BYTE'

REG_BYTE is defined differently based on whether we're compiling for
LE, BE32 or BE64. Sparse apparently doesn't provide __BIG_ENDIAN__ or
__LITTLE_ENDIAN__, which means we get no definition.

Rather than check for __BIG_ENDIAN__ and then separately for
__LITTLE_ENDIAN__, just switch the #ifdef to check for __BIG_ENDIAN__
and then #else we define the little endian version. Technically that's
dicey because PDP_ENDIAN is also a possibility, but we already do it in
a lot of places so one more hardly matters.

de79f7b9f6 powerpc: Put FP/VSX and VR state into structures
This creates new 'thread_fp_state' and 'thread_vr_state' structures
to store FP/VSX state (including FPSCR) and Altivec/VSX state
(including VSCR), and uses them in the thread_struct.  In the
thread_fp_state, the FPRs and VSRs are represented as u64 rather
than double, since we rarely perform floating-point computations
on the values, and this will enable the structures to be used
in KVM code as well.  Similarly FPSCR is now a u64 rather than
a structure of two 32-bit values.

This takes the offsets out of the macros such as SAVE_32FPRS,
REST_32FPRS, etc.  This enables the same macros to be used for normal
and transactional state, enabling us to delete the transactional
versions of the macros.   This also removes the unused do_load_up_fpu
and do_load_up_altivec, which were in fact buggy since they didn't
create large enough stack frames to account for the fact that
load_up_fpu and load_up_altivec are not designed to be called from C
and assume that their caller's stack frame is an interrupt frame.

5c2e08231b powerpc: Never handle VSX alignment exceptions from kernel
The VSX alignment handler needs to write out the existing VSX
state to memory before operating on it (flush_vsx_to_thread()).
If we take a VSX alignment exception in the kernel bad things
will happen. It looks like we could write the kernel state out
to the user process, or we could handle the kernel exception
using data from the user process (depending if MSR_VSX is set
or not).

Worse still, if the code to read or write the VSX state causes an
alignment exception, we will recurse forever. I ended up with
hundreds of megabytes of kernel stack to look through as a result.

Floating point and SPE code have similar issues but already include
a user check. Add the same check to emulate_vsx().

With this patch any unaligned VSX loads and stores in the kernel
will show up as a clear oops rather than silent corruption of
kernel or userspace VSX state, or worse, corruption of a potentially
unlimited amount of kernel memory.

230aef7a6a powerpc: Handle unaligned ldbrx/stdbrx
Normally when we haven't implemented an alignment handler for
a load or store instruction the process will be terminated.

The alignment handler uses the DSISR (or a pseudo one) to locate
the right handler. Unfortunately ldbrx and stdbrx overlap lfs and
stfs so we incorrectly think ldbrx is an lfs and stdbrx is an
stfs.

This bug is particularly nasty - instead of terminating the
process we apply an incorrect fixup and continue on.

With more and more overlapping instructions we should stop
creating a pseudo DSISR and index using the instruction directly,
but for now add a special case to catch ldbrx/stdbrx.

even/odd FP register pair.  In little-endian mode each 8-byte value is
byte-reversed separately (i.e. not as a 16-byte unit).  lfiwax/stfiwx
load or store the lower 4 bytes of a floating-point register from/to
memory; lfiwax sets the upper 4 bytes of the FP register to the sign
extension of the value loaded.

e4ee3891db [POWERPC] Alignment exception uses __get/put_user_inatomic
Make the alignment exception handler use the new _inatomic variants
of __get/put_user. This fixes erroneous warnings in the very rare
cases where we manage to have copy_tofrom_user_inatomic() trigger
an alignment exception.

fab5db97e4 [PATCH] powerpc: Implement support for setting little-endian mode via prctl
This adds the PowerPC part of the code to allow processes to change
their endian mode via prctl.

This also extends the alignment exception handler to be able to fix up
alignment exceptions that occur in little-endian mode, both for
"PowerPC" little-endian and true little-endian.

We always enter signal handlers in big-endian mode -- the support for
little-endian mode does not amount to the creation of a little-endian
user/kernel ABI.  If the signal handler returns, the endian mode is
restored to what it was when the signal was delivered.

We have two new kernel CPU feature bits, one for PPC little-endian and
one for true little-endian.  Most of the classic 32-bit processors
support PPC little-endian, and this is reflected in the CPU feature
table.  There are two corresponding feature bits reported to userland
in the AT_HWCAP aux vector entry.

This is based on an earlier patch by Anton Blanchard.

5daf9071b5 [PATCH] powerpc: merge align.c
This patch merges align.c, the result isn't quite what was in ppc64 nor
what was in ppc32 :) It should implement all the functionalities of both
though. Kumar, since you played with that in the past, I suppose you
have some test cases for verifying that it works properly before I dig
out the 601 machine ? :)

Since it's likely that I won't be able to test all scenario, code
inspection is much welcome.
