commit d2032678e57fc508d7878307badde8f89b632ba3 upstream.

Currently memory is allocated for core-imc based on cpu_present_mask,
which has bit 'cpu' set iff cpu is populated. We use (cpu number / threads
per core) as the array index to access the memory.

Under some circumstances firmware marks a CPU as GUARDed CPU and boot the
system, until cleared of errors, these CPU's are unavailable for all
subsequent boots. GUARDed CPUs are possible but not present from linux
view, so it blows a hole when we assume the max length of our allocation
is driven by our max present cpus, where as one of the cpus might be online
and be beyond the max present cpus, due to the hole.
So (cpu number / threads per core) value bounds the array index and leads
to memory overflow.

Allocating memory for core-imc based on cpu_possible_mask, which has
bit 'cpu' set iff cpu is populatable, will fix this issue.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Support for 4PB user address space on 64-bit, opt-in via mmap().

   - Removal of POWER4 support, which was accidentally broken in 2016
     and no one noticed, and blocked use of some modern instructions.

   - Workarounds so that the hypervisor can enable Transactional Memory
     on Power9.

   - A series to disable the DAWR (Data Address Watchpoint Register) on
     Power9.

   - More information displayed in the meltdown/spectre_v1/v2 sysfs
     files.

   - A vpermxor (Power8 Altivec) implementation for the raid6 Q
     Syndrome.

   - A big series to make the allocation of our pacas (per cpu area),
     kernel page tables, and per-cpu stacks NUMA aware when using the
     Radix MMU on Power9.

  And as usual many fixes, reworks and cleanups.

POWER4 has been broken since at least the change 49d09bf2a6
("powerpc/64s: Optimise MSR handling in exception handling"), which
requires mtmsrd L=1 support. This was introduced in ISA v2.01, and
POWER4 supports ISA v2.00.

<content type='text'>
Introduce code to support addition of blacklisted events for a
processor version. Blacklisted events are events that are known to not
count correctly on that CPU revision, and so should be prevented from
being counted so as to avoid user confusion.

A 'pointer' and 'int' variable to hold the number of events are added
to 'struct power_pmu', along with a generic function to loop through
the list to validate the given event. Generic function
'is_event_blacklisted' is called in power_pmu_event_init() to detect
and reject early.

Sampled Data Address Register (SDAR) is a 64-bit register that
contains the effective address of the storage operand of an
instruction that was being executed, possibly out-of-order, at or
around the time that the Performance Monitor alert occurred.

In certain scenario SDAR happen to contain the kernel address even for
userspace only sampling. Add checks to prevent it.

The current Branch History Rolling Buffer (BHRB) code does not check
for any privilege levels before updating the data from BHRB. This
could leak kernel addresses to userspace even when profiling only with
userspace privileges. Add proper checks to prevent it.

Current code in power_pmu_disable() does not clear the sampling
registers like Sampling Instruction Address Register (SIAR) and
Sampling Data Address Register (SDAR) after disabling the PMU. Since
these are userspace readable and could contain kernel addresses, add
code to explicitly clear the content of these registers.

Also add a "context synchronizing instruction" to enforce no further
updates to these registers as suggested by Power ISA v3.0B. From
section 9.4, on page 1108:

  "If an mtspr instruction is executed that changes the value of a
  Performance Monitor register other than SIAR, SDAR, and SIER, the
  change is not guaranteed to have taken effect until after a
  subsequent context synchronizing instruction has been executed (see
  Chapter 11. "Synchronization Requirements for Context Alterations"
  on page 1133)."

<content type='text'>
Mark noticed that the change to sibling_list changed some iteration
semantics; because previously we used group_list as list entry,
sibling events would always have an empty sibling_list.

But because we now use sibling_list for both list head and list entry,
siblings will report as having siblings.

Fix this with a custom for_each_sibling_event() iterator.
