Backported from commit de78a9c42a79 ("powerpc: Add a framework
for Kernel Userspace Access Protection"). Here we don't try to
add the KUAP framework, we just want the helper functions
because we want to put uaccess flush helpers in them.

In terms of fixes, we don't need commit 1d8f739b07bd ("powerpc/kuap:
Fix set direction in allow/prevent_user_access()") as we don't have
real KUAP. Likewise as all our allows are noops and all our prevents
are just flushes, we don't need commit 9dc086f1e9ef ("powerpc/futex:
Fix incorrect user access blocking") The other 2 fixes we do need.

The original description is:

This patch implements a framework for Kernel Userspace Access
Protection.

Then subarches will have the possibility to provide their own
implementation by providing setup_kuap() and
allow/prevent_user_access().

Some platforms will need to know the area accessed and whether it is
accessed from read, write or both. Therefore source, destination and
size and handed over to the two functions.

mpe: Rename to allow/prevent rather than unlock/lock, and add
read/write wrappers. Drop the 32-bit code for now until we have an
implementation for it. Add kuap to pt_regs for 64-bit as well as
32-bit. Don't split strings, use pr_crit_ratelimited().

<title>powerpc/futex: Fix warning: 'oldval' may be used uninitialized in this function</title>

[ Upstream commit 38a0d0cdb46d3f91534e5b9839ec2d67be14c59d ]

We see warnings such as:
  kernel/futex.c: In function 'do_futex':
  kernel/futex.c:1676:17: warning: 'oldval' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
     return oldval == cmparg;
                   ^
  kernel/futex.c:1651:6: note: 'oldval' was declared here
    int oldval, ret;
        ^

This is because arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser() only sets *oval if ret
is 0 and GCC doesn't see that it will only use it when ret is 0.

Anyway, the non-zero ret path is an error path that won't suffer from
setting *oval, and as *oval is a local var in futex_atomic_op_inuser()
it will have no impact.

<title>futex: Remove duplicated code and fix undefined behaviour</title>

<id>urn:sha1:177a981885cf9588ca5cbcaf2ce65ab0d4b4abb3</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 30d6e0a4190d37740e9447e4e4815f06992dd8c3 upstream.

There is code duplicated over all architecture's headers for
futex_atomic_op_inuser. Namely op decoding, access_ok check for uaddr,
and comparison of the result.

Remove this duplication and leave up to the arches only the needed
assembly which is now in arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser.

This effectively distributes the Will Deacon's arm64 fix for undefined
behaviour reported by UBSAN to all architectures. The fix was done in
commit 5f16a046f8e1 (arm64: futex: Fix undefined behaviour with
FUTEX_OP_OPARG_SHIFT usage). Look there for an example dump.

And as suggested by Thomas, check for negative oparg too, because it was
also reported to cause undefined behaviour report.

Note that s390 removed access_ok check in d12a29703 ("s390/uaccess:
remove pointless access_ok() checks") as access_ok there returns true.
We introduce it back to the helper for the sake of simplicity (it gets
optimized away anyway).

<title>powerpc: Fix atomic_xxx_return barrier semantics</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b97021f85517552ea8a0d2c1680c1ee4beab6d14</id>
<content type='text'>
The Documentation/memory-barriers.txt document requires that atomic
operations that return a value act as a memory barrier both before
and after the actual atomic operation.

Our current implementation doesn't guarantee this. More specifically,
while a load following the isync can not be issued before stwcx. has
completed, that completion doesn't architecturally means that the
result of stwcx. is visible to other processors (or any previous stores
for that matter) (typically, the other processors L1 caches can still
hold the old value).

This has caused an actual crash in RCU torture testing on Power 7

This fixes it by changing those atomic ops to use new macros instead
of RELEASE/ACQUIRE barriers, called ATOMIC_ENTRY and ATMOIC_EXIT barriers,
which are then defined respectively to lwsync and sync.

I haven't had a chance to measure the performance impact (or rather
what I measured with kernel compiles is in the noise, I yet have to
find a more precise benchmark)

Change futex_atomic_op_inuser and futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic
prototypes to use u32 types for the futex as this is the data type the
futex core code uses all over the place.

<title>futex: Sanitize cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API</title>

<id>urn:sha1:37a9d912b24f96a0591773e6e6c3642991ae5a70</id>
<content type='text'>
The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either
the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT.
This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places
that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue
by running fault_in_user_writeable().
    
This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the
get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the
original value through a reference argument.

to better explain what the barriers are doing.

<content type='text'>
Richard Henderson pointed out that the powerpc __futex_atomic_op has a
bug: it will write the wrong value if the stwcx. fails and it has to
retry the lwarx/stwcx. loop, since 'oparg' will have been overwritten
by the result from the first time around the loop.  This happens
because it uses the same register for 'oparg' (an input) as it uses
for the result.

This fixes it by using separate registers for 'oparg' and 'ret'.
