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.

powerpc: xor_vmx: Add '-mhard-float' to CFLAGS

powerpc/lib: Validate size for vector operations

2024-02-05T20:12:47+00:00

[ 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. Signed-off-by: Naveen N Rao Reviewed-by: Gustavo A. R.

powerpc: add crtsavres.o to always-y instead of extra-y

powerpc: Fix reschedule bug in KUAP-unlocked user copy

2022-10-18T11:46:19+00:00

schedule must not be explicitly called while KUAP is unlocked, because the AMR register will not be saved across the context switch on 64s (preemption is allowed because that is driven by interrupts which do save the AMR). exit_vmx_usercopy() runs inside an unlocked user access region, and it calls preempt_enable() which will call schedule() if need_resched() was set while non-preemptible. This can cause tasks to run unprotected when the should not, and can cause the user copy to be improperly blocked when scheduling back to it. Fix this by avoiding the explicit resched for preempt kernels by generating an interrupt to reschedule the context if need_resched() got set.

powerpc/code-patching: Speed up page mapping/unmapping

2022-09-01T03:56:01+00:00

Since commit 591b4b268435 ("powerpc/code-patching: Pre-map patch area") the patch area is premapped so intermediate page tables are already allocated. Use __set_pte_at() directly instead of the heavy map_kernel_page(), at for unmapping just do a pte_clear() followed by a flush. __set_pte_at() can be used directly without the filters in set_pte_at() because we are mapping a normal page non executable. Make sure gcc knows text_poke_area is page aligned in order to optimise the flush. This change reduces by 66% the time needed to activate ftrace on an 8xx (588000 tb ticks instead of 1744000).
