<title>powerpc/kasan: Don't instrument non-maskable or raw interrupts</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5352090a999570c6e8a701bcb755fd91e8c5a2cd</id>
<content type='text'>
Disable address sanitization for raw and non-maskable interrupt
handlers, because they can run in real mode, where we cannot access
the shadow memory.  (Note that kasan_arch_is_ready() doesn't test for
real mode, since it is a static branch for speed, and in any case not
all the entry points to the generic KASAN code are protected by
kasan_arch_is_ready guards.)

The changes to interrupt_nmi_enter/exit_prepare() look larger than
they actually are.  The changes are equivalent to adding
!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KASAN) to the conditions for calling nmi_enter() or
nmi_exit() in real mode.  That is, the code is equivalent to using the
following condition for calling nmi_enter/exit:

	if (((!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64) ||
			!firmware_has_feature(FW_FEATURE_LPAR) ||
			radix_enabled()) &amp;&amp;
		    !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KASAN) ||
		(mfmsr() &amp; MSR_DR))

That unwieldy condition has been split into several statements with
comments, for easier reading.

The nmi_ipi_lock functions that call atomic functions (i.e.,
nmi_ipi_lock_start(), nmi_ipi_lock() and nmi_ipi_unlock()), besides
being marked noinstr, now call arch_atomic_* functions instead of
atomic_* functions because with KASAN enabled, the atomic_* functions
are wrappers which explicitly do address sanitization on their
arguments.  Since we are trying to avoid address sanitization, we have
to use the lower-level arch_atomic_* versions.

In hv_nmi_check_nonrecoverable(), the regs_set_unrecoverable() call
has been open-coded so as to avoid having to either trust the inlining
or mark regs_set_unrecoverable() as noinstr.

<title>exit: Add and use make_task_dead.</title>

<content type='text'>
There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

<title>powerpc/64s: Fix unrecoverable MCE calling async handler from NMI</title>
<updated>2021-10-07T08:54:55Z</updated>

<name>Nicholas Piggin</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/linux-dev/commit/?id=f08fb25bc66986b0952724530a640d9970fa52c1'/>
<id>urn:sha1:f08fb25bc66986b0952724530a640d9970fa52c1</id>
<content type='text'>
The machine check handler is not considered NMI on 64s. The early
handler is the true NMI handler, and then it schedules the
machine_check_exception handler to run when interrupts are enabled.

This works fine except the case of an unrecoverable MCE, where the true
NMI is taken when MSR[RI] is clear, it can not recover, so it calls
machine_check_exception directly so something might be done about it.

Calling an async handler from NMI context can result in irq state and
other things getting corrupted. This can also trigger the BUG at
  arch/powerpc/include/asm/interrupt.h:168
  BUG_ON(!arch_irq_disabled_regs(regs) &amp;&amp; !(regs-&gt;msr &amp; MSR_EE));

Fix this by making an _async version of the handler which is called
in the normal case, and a NMI version that is called for unrecoverable
interrupts.

<title>powerpc/traps: do not enable irqs in _exception</title>

<content type='text'>
_exception can be called by machine check handlers when the MCE hits
user code (e.g., pseries and powernv). This will enable local irqs
because, which is a dicey thing to do in NMI or hard irq context.

This seemed to worked out okay because a userspace MCE can basically be
treated like a synchronous interrupt (after async / imprecise MCEs are
filtered out). Since NMI and hard irq handlers have started growing
nmi_enter / irq_enter, and more irq state sanity checks, this has
started to cause problems (or at least trigger warnings).

The Fixes tag to the commit which introduced this rather than try to
work out exactly which commit was the first that could possibly cause a
problem because that may be difficult to prove.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Convert pseries &amp; powernv to use MSI IRQ domains.

 - Rework the pseries CPU numbering so that CPUs that are removed, and
   later re-added, are given a CPU number on the same node as
   previously, when possible.

 - Add support for a new more flexible device-tree format for specifying
   NUMA distances.

 - Convert powerpc to GENERIC_PTDUMP.

 - Retire sbc8548 and sbc8641d board support.

 - Various other small features and fixes.

That lets us resolve a conflict in arch/powerpc/sysdev/xive/common.c.

Between cbc06f051c52 ("powerpc/xive: Do not skip CPU-less nodes when
creating the IPIs"), which moved request_irq() out of xive_init_ipis(),
and 17df41fec5b8 ("powerpc: use IRQF_NO_DEBUG for IPIs") which added
IRQF_NO_DEBUG to that request_irq() call, which has now moved.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Optionally, provide an index of possible printk messages via
   &lt;debugfs&gt;/printk/index/. It can be used when monitoring important
   kernel messages on a farm of various hosts. The monitor has to be
   updated when some messages has changed or are not longer available by
   a newly deployed kernel.

 - Add printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter. It allows to
   generate crash dump even with slow consoles in a reasonable time
   frame.

 - Remove printk_safe buffers. The messages are always stored directly
   to the main logbuffer, even in NMI or recursive context. Also it
   allows to serialize syslog operations by a mutex instead of a spin
   lock.

 - Misc clean up and build fixes.
