[ Upstream commit 6c0a8f6b5a45ac892a763b6299bd3c5324fc5e02 ]

The build is failing with CONFIG_NUMA=n and some compiler versions:

  arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-cpu.o: In function `dlpar_online_cpu':
  hotplug-cpu.c:(.text+0x12c): undefined reference to `timed_topology_update'
  arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-cpu.o: In function `dlpar_cpu_remove':
  hotplug-cpu.c:(.text+0x400): undefined reference to `timed_topology_update'

Fix it by moving the empty version of timed_topology_update() into the
existing #ifdef block, which has the right guard of SPLPAR &amp;&amp; NUMA.

<title>powerpc/mm/slice: Fix hugepage allocation at hint address on 8xx</title>

[ Upstream commit aa0ab02ba992eb956934b21373e0138211486ddd ]

On the 8xx, the page size is set in the PMD entry and applies to
all pages of the page table pointed by the said PMD entry.

When an app has some regular pages allocated (e.g. see below) and tries
to mmap() a huge page at a hint address covered by the same PMD entry,
the kernel accepts the hint allthough the 8xx cannot handle different
page sizes in the same PMD entry.

10000000-10001000 r-xp 00000000 00:0f 2597 /root/malloc
10010000-10011000 rwxp 00000000 00:0f 2597 /root/malloc

mmap(0x10080000, 524288, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
     MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS|0x40000, -1, 0) = 0x10080000

This results the app remaining forever in do_page_fault()/hugetlb_fault()
and when interrupting that app, we get the following warning:

[162985.363322] BUG: non-zero nr_ptes on freeing mm: -1

In order to fix this, this patch uses the address space "slices"
implemented for BOOK3S/64 and enhanced to support PPC32 by the
preceding patch.

This patch modifies the context.id on the 8xx to be in the range
[1:16] instead of [0:15] in order to identify context.id == 0 as
not initialised contexts as done on BOOK3S

This patch activates CONFIG_PPC_MM_SLICES when CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is
selected for the 8xx

Alltough we could in theory have as many slices as PMD entries, the
current slices implementation limits the number of low slices to 16.
This limitation is not preventing us to fix the initial issue allthough
it is suboptimal. It will be cured in a subsequent patch.

commit db3a528db41caaa6dfd4c64e9f5efb1c81a80467 upstream.

In preparation for the following patch which will fix an issue on
the 8xx by re-using the 'slices', this patch enhances the
'slices' implementation to support 32 bits CPUs.

On PPC32, the address space is limited to 4Gbytes, hence only the low
slices will be used.

The high slices use bitmaps. As bitmap functions are not prepared to
handle bitmaps of size 0, this patch ensures that bitmap functions
are called only when SLICE_NUM_HIGH is not nul.

<title>powerpc/64s: Add support for a store forwarding barrier at kernel entry/exit</title>

<id>urn:sha1:18cdd9bc7889ca87b9746dd5eebbce230744769b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a048a07d7f4535baa4cbad6bc024f175317ab938 upstream.

On some CPUs we can prevent a vulnerability related to store-to-load
forwarding by preventing store forwarding between privilege domains,
by inserting a barrier in kernel entry and exit paths.

This is known to be the case on at least Power7, Power8 and Power9
powerpc CPUs.

Barriers must be inserted generally before the first load after moving
to a higher privilege, and after the last store before moving to a
lower privilege, HV and PR privilege transitions must be protected.

Barriers are added as patch sections, with all kernel/hypervisor entry
points patched, and the exit points to lower privilge levels patched
similarly to the RFI flush patching.

Firmware advertisement is not implemented yet, so CPU flush types
are hard coded.

Thanks to Michal Suchánek for bug fixes and review.

This moves the definition of the default security feature flags

This can be used to restore current flags to the default flags.

<content type='text'>
commit 9a868f634349e62922c226834aa23e3d1329ae7f upstream.

This commit adds security feature flags to reflect the settings we
receive from firmware regarding Spectre/Meltdown mitigations.

The feature names reflect the names we are given by firmware on bare
metal machines. See the hostboot source for details.

Arguably these could be firmware features, but that then requires them
to be read early in boot so they're available prior to asm feature
patching, but we don't actually want to use them for patching. We may
also want to dynamically update them in future, which would be
incompatible with the way firmware features work (at the moment at
least). So for now just make them separate flags.
