[ Upstream commit b8b928030332a0ca16d42433eb2c3085600d8704 ]

lscpu() uses core_siblings to list the number of sockets in the
system. core_siblings is set using topology_core_cpumask.

While optimizing the powerpc bootup path, Commit 4ca234a9cbd7
("powerpc/smp: Stop updating cpu_core_mask").  it was found that
updating cpu_core_mask() ended up taking a lot of time. It was thought
that on Powerpc, cpu_core_mask() would always be same as
cpu_cpu_mask() i.e number of sockets will always be equal to number of
nodes. As an optimization, cpu_core_mask() was made a snapshot of
cpu_cpu_mask().

However that was found to be false with PowerPc KVM guests, where each
node could have more than one socket. So with Commit c47f892d7aa6
("powerpc/smp: Reintroduce cpu_core_mask"), cpu_core_mask was updated
based on chip_id but in an optimized way using some mask manipulations
and chip_id caching.

However on non-PowerNV and non-pseries KVM guests (i.e not
implementing cpu_to_chip_id(), continued to use a copy of
cpu_cpu_mask().

There are two issues that were noticed on such systems
1. lscpu would report one extra socket.
On a IBM,9009-42A (aka zz system) which has only 2 chips/ sockets/
nodes, lscpu would report
Architecture:        ppc64le
Byte Order:          Little Endian
CPU(s):              160
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-159
Thread(s) per core:  8
Core(s) per socket:  6
Socket(s):           3                &lt;--------------
NUMA node(s):        2
Model:               2.2 (pvr 004e 0202)
Model name:          POWER9 (architected), altivec supported
Hypervisor vendor:   pHyp
Virtualization type: para
L1d cache:           32K
L1i cache:           32K
L2 cache:            512K
L3 cache:            10240K
NUMA node0 CPU(s):   0-79
NUMA node1 CPU(s):   80-159

2. Currently cpu_cpu_mask is updated when a core is
added/removed. However its not updated when smt mode switching or on
CPUs are explicitly offlined. However all other percpu masks are
updated to ensure only active/online CPUs are in the masks.
This results in build_sched_domain traces since there will be CPUs in
cpu_cpu_mask() but those CPUs are not present in SMT / CACHE / MC /
NUMA domains. A loop of threads running smt mode switching and core
add/remove will soon show this trace.
Hence cpu_cpu_mask has to be update at smt mode switch.

This will have impact on cpu_core_mask(). cpu_core_mask() is a
snapshot of cpu_cpu_mask. Different CPUs within the same socket will
end up having different cpu_core_masks since they are snapshots at
different points of time. This means when lscpu will start reporting
many more sockets than the actual number of sockets/ nodes / chips.

Different ways to handle this problem:
A. Update the snapshot aka cpu_core_mask for all CPUs whenever
   cpu_cpu_mask is updated. This would a non-optimal solution.
B. Instead of a cpumask_var_t, make cpu_core_map a cpumask pointer
   pointing to cpu_cpu_mask. However percpu cpumask pointer is frowned
   upon and we need a clean way to handle PowerPc KVM guest which is
   not a snapshot.
C. Update cpu_core_masks all PowerPc systems like in PowerPc KVM
guests using mask manipulations. This approach is relatively simple
and unifies with the existing code.
D. On top of 3, we could also resurrect get_physical_package_id which
   could return a nid for the said CPU. However this is not needed at this
   time.

Option C is the preferred approach for now.

While this is somewhat a revert of Commit 4ca234a9cbd7 ("powerpc/smp:
Stop updating cpu_core_mask").

1. Plain revert has some conflicts
2. For chip_id == -1, the cpu_core_mask is made identical to
cpu_cpu_mask, unlike previously where cpu_core_mask was set to a core
if chip_id doesn't exist.

This goes by the principle that if chip_id is not exposed, then
sockets / chip / node share the same set of CPUs.

With the fix, lscpu o/p would be
Architecture:        ppc64le

[ Upstream commit f35d2f249ef05b9671e7898f09ad89aa78f99122 ]

copy-paste contains implicit "copy buffer" state that can contain
arbitrary user data (if the user process executes a copy instruction).
This could be snooped by another process if a context switch hits while
the state is live. So cp_abort is executed on context switch to clear
out possible sensitive data and prevent the leak.

cp_abort is done after the low level _switch(), which means it is never
reached by newly created tasks, so they could snoop on this buffer
between their first and second context switch.

Fix this by doing the cp_abort before calling _switch. Add some
comments which should make the issue harder to miss.

printk_safe_flush_on_panic() has special lock breaking code for the case
where we panic()ed with the console lock held. It relies on panic IPI
causing other CPUs to mark themselves offline.

Do as most other architectures do.

This effectively reverts commit de6e5d38417e ("powerpc: smp_send_stop do
not offline stopped CPUs"), unfortunately it may result in some false
positive warnings, but the alternative is more situations where we can
crash without getting messages out.

[ Upstream commit 3729e0ec59a20825bd4c8c70996b2df63915e1dd ]

POWER9 and POWER10 asynchronous machine checks due to stores have their
cause reported in SRR1 but SRR1[42] is set, which in other cases
indicates DSISR cause.

Check for these cases and clear SRR1[42], so the cause matching uses
the i-side (SRR1) table.

<title>sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled</title>

[ Upstream commit f1a0a376ca0c4ef1fc3d24e3e502acbb5b795674 ]

As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -&gt; idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().

Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle:

  @begone@
  @@

  -preempt_disable();
  ...
  cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE);

<title>powerpc/stacktrace: Fix spurious "stale" traces in raise_backtrace_ipi()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:75395690e5e6f17c6cf583c5d5e8cc686d4120c5</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 7c6986ade69e3c81bac831645bc72109cd798a80 upstream.

In raise_backtrace_ipi() we iterate through the cpumask of CPUs, sending
each an IPI asking them to do a backtrace, but we don't wait for the
backtrace to happen.

We then iterate through the CPU mask again, and if any CPU hasn't done
the backtrace and cleared itself from the mask, we print a trace on its
behalf, noting that the trace may be "stale".

This works well enough when a CPU is not responding, because in that
case it doesn't receive the IPI and the sending CPU is left to print the
trace. But when all CPUs are responding we are left with a race between
the sending and receiving CPUs, if the sending CPU wins the race then it
will erroneously print a trace.

This leads to spurious "stale" traces from the sending CPU, which can
then be interleaved messily with the receiving CPU, note the CPU
numbers, eg:

  [ 1658.929157][    C7] rcu: Stack dump where RCU GP kthread last ran:
  [ 1658.929223][    C7] Sending NMI from CPU 7 to CPUs 1:
  [ 1658.929303][    C1] NMI backtrace for cpu 1
  [ 1658.929303][    C7] CPU 1 didn't respond to backtrace IPI, inspecting paca.
  [ 1658.929362][    C1] CPU: 1 PID: 325 Comm: kworker/1:1H Tainted: G        W   E     5.13.0-rc2+ #46
  [ 1658.929405][    C7] irq_soft_mask: 0x01 in_mce: 0 in_nmi: 0 current: 325 (kworker/1:1H)
  [ 1658.929465][    C1] Workqueue: events_highpri test_work_fn [test_lockup]
  [ 1658.929549][    C7] Back trace of paca-&gt;saved_r1 (0xc0000000057fb400) (possibly stale):
  [ 1658.929592][    C1] NIP:  c00000000002cf50 LR: c008000000820178 CTR: c00000000002cfa0

To fix it, change the logic so that the sending CPU waits 5s for the
receiving CPU to print its trace. If the receiving CPU prints its trace
successfully then the sending CPU just continues, avoiding any spurious
"stale" trace.

This has the added benefit of allowing all CPUs to print their traces in
order and avoids any interleaving of their output.

<title>powerpc/kprobes: Fix validation of prefixed instructions across page boundary</title>

commit 82123a3d1d5a306fdf50c968a474cc60fe43a80f upstream.

When checking if the probed instruction is the suffix of a prefixed
instruction, we access the instruction at the previous word. If the
probed instruction is the very first word of a module, we can end up
trying to access an invalid page.

Fix this by skipping the check for all instructions at the beginning of
a page. Prefixed instructions cannot cross a 64-byte boundary and as
such, we don't expect to encounter a suffix as the very first word in a
page for kernel text. Even if there are prefixed instructions crossing
a page boundary (from a module, for instance), the instruction will be
illegal, so preventing probing on the suffix of such prefix instructions
isn't worthwhile.
