[ Upstream commit d262a192d38e527faa5984629aabda2e0d1c4f54 ]

Erhard reported the following KASAN hit while booting his PowerMac G4
with a KASAN-enabled kernel 6.13-rc6:

  The buggy address belongs to the virtual mapping at
   [f1000000, f1002000) created by:
   text_area_cpu_up+0x20/0x190

  The buggy address belongs to the physical page:

  page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected

  Memory state around the buggy address:

   f1000100: f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8 f8
  ==================================================================

f8 corresponds to KASAN_VMALLOC_INVALID which means the area is not
initialised hence not supposed to be used yet.

Powerpc text patching infrastructure allocates a virtual memory area
using get_vm_area() and flags it as VM_ALLOC. But that flag is meant
to be used for vmalloc() and vmalloc() allocated memory is not
supposed to be used before a call to __vmalloc_node_range() which is
never called for that area.

That went undetected until commit e4137f08816b ("mm, kasan, kmsan:
instrument copy_from/to_kernel_nofault")

The area allocated by text_area_cpu_up() is not vmalloc memory, it is
mapped directly on demand when needed by map_kernel_page(). There is
no VM flag corresponding to such usage, so just pass no flag. That way
the area will be unpoisonned and usable immediately.

<title>powerpc: xor_vmx: Add '-mhard-float' to CFLAGS</title>

commit 35f20786c481d5ced9283ff42de5c69b65e5ed13 upstream.

arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o is built with '-msoft-float' (from the main
powerpc Makefile) and '-maltivec' (from its CFLAGS), which causes an
error when building with clang after a recent change in main:

  error: option '-msoft-float' cannot be specified with '-maltivec'
  make[6]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:243: arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o] Error 1

Explicitly add '-mhard-float' before '-maltivec' in xor_vmx.o's CFLAGS
to override the previous inclusion of '-msoft-float' (as the last option
wins), which matches how other areas of the kernel use '-maltivec', such
as AMDGPU.

[ Upstream commit 8f9abaa6d7de0a70fc68acaedce290c1f96e2e59 ]

Some of the fp/vmx code in sstep.c assume a certain maximum size for the
instructions being emulated. The size of those operations however is
determined separately in analyse_instr().

Add a check to validate the assumption on the maximum size of the
operations, so as to prevent any unintended kernel stack corruption.

crtsavres.o is linked to modules. However, as explained in commit
d0e628cd817f ("kbuild: doc: clarify the difference between extra-y
and always-y"), 'make modules' does not build extra-y.

For example, the following command fails:

commit 8219d31effa7be5dbc7ff915d7970672e028c701 upstream.

Building tinyconfig with gcc (Debian 11.2.0-16) and assembler (Debian
2.37.90.20220207) the following build error shows up:

  {standard input}: Assembler messages:
  {standard input}:10576: Error: unrecognized opcode: `stbcx.'
  {standard input}:10680: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lharx'
  {standard input}:10694: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lbarx'

Rework to add assembler directives [1] around the instruction.  The
problem with this might be that we can trick a power6 into
single-stepping through an stbcx. for instance, and it will execute that
in kernel mode.

Looks like there been a copy paste mistake when added the instruction
'stbcx' twice and one was probably meant to be 'sthcx'. Changing to
'sthcx' from 'stbcx'.

[ Upstream commit 23fc539e81295b14b50c6ccc5baeb4f3d59d822d ]

On some architectures, access_ok() does not do any argument type
checking, so replacing the definition with a generic one causes
a few warnings for harmless issues that were never caught before.

Fix the ones that I found either through my own test builds or
that were reported by the 0-day bot.

commit fe663df7825811358531dc2e8a52d9eaa5e3515e upstream.

Building tinyconfig with gcc (Debian 11.2.0-16) and assembler (Debian
2.37.90.20220207) the following build error shows up:

  {standard input}: Assembler messages:
  {standard input}:2088: Error: unrecognized opcode: `ptesync'
  make[3]: *** [/builds/linux/scripts/Makefile.build:287: arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.o] Error 1

Add the 'ifdef CONFIG_PPC64' around the 'ptesync' in function
'emulate_update_regs()' to like it is in 'analyse_instr()'. Since it looks like
it got dropped inadvertently by commit 3cdfcbfd32b9 ("powerpc: Change
analyse_instr so it doesn't modify *regs").

A key detail is that analyse_instr() will never recognise lwsync or
ptesync on 32-bit (because of the existing ifdef), and as a result
emulate_update_regs() should never be called with an op specifying
either of those on 32-bit. So removing them from emulate_update_regs()
should be a nop in terms of runtime behaviour.

commit bba496656a73fc1d1330b49c7f82843836e9feb1 upstream.

Boot fails with GCC latent entropy plugin enabled.

This is due to early boot functions trying to access 'latent_entropy'
global data while the kernel is not relocated at its final
destination yet.

As there is no way to tell GCC to use PTRRELOC() to access it,
disable latent entropy plugin in early_32.o and feature-fixups.o and
code-patching.o

Fixes: 38addce8b600 ("gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy plugin")
