In order to protect against speculation attacks (Spectre
variant 2) on NXP PowerPC platforms, the branch predictor
should be flushed when the privillege level is changed.
This patch is adding the infrastructure to fixup at runtime
the code sections that are performing the branch predictor flush
depending on a boot arg parameter which is added later in a
separate patch.

Functions do_stf_{entry,exit}_barrier_fixups are static but not declared as
such. This was detected by `sparse` tool with the following warning:
arch/powerpc/lib/feature-fixups.c:121:6: warning: symbol 'do_stf_entry_barrier_fixups' was not declared. Should it be static?
arch/powerpc/lib/feature-fixups.c:171:6: warning: symbol 'do_stf_exit_barrier_fixups' was not declared. Should it be static?
This patch declares both functions as static, as they are only called by
do_stf_barrier_fixups(), which is in the same source code file.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Notable changes:
- Support for split PMD page table lock on 64-bit Book3S (Power8/9).
- Add support for HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE, so we properly support
live patching again.
- Add support for patching barrier_nospec in copy_from_user() and
syscall entry.
- A couple of fixes for our data breakpoints on Book3S.
- A series from Nick optimising TLB/mm handling with the Radix MMU.
- Numerous small cleanups to squash sparse/gcc warnings from Mathieu
Malaterre.
- Several series optimising various parts of the 32-bit code from
Christophe Leroy.
- Removal of support for two old machines, "SBC834xE" and "C2K"
("GEFanuc,C2K"), which is why the diffstat has so many deletions.
And many other small improvements & fixes.
There's a few out-of-area changes. Some minor ftrace changes OK'ed by
Steve, and a fix to our powernv cpuidle driver. Then there's a series
touching mm, x86 and fs/proc/task_mmu.c, which cleans up some details
around pkey support. It was ack'ed/reviewed by Ingo & Dave and has
been in next for several weeks.

Based on the RFI patching. This is required to be able to disable the
speculation barrier.
Only one barrier type is supported and it does nothing when the
firmware does not enable it. Also re-patching modules is not supported
So the only meaningful thing that can be done is patching out the
speculation barrier at boot when the user says it is not wanted.

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.

Add a test of the relative branch patching logic in the alternate
section feature fixup code. This tests that if we branch past the last
instruction of the alternate section, the branch is not patched.
That's because the assembler will have created a branch that already
points to the first instruction after the patched section, which is
correct and needs no further patching.

The code patching code has always been a bit confused about whether
it's best to use void *, unsigned int *, char *, etc. to point to
instructions. In fact in the feature fixups tests we use both unsigned
int[] and u8[] in different places.
Unfortunately the tests that use unsigned int[] calculate the size of
the code blocks using subtraction of those unsigned int pointers, and
then pass the result to memcmp(). This means we're only comparing 1/4
of the bytes we need to, because we need to multiply by
sizeof(unsigned int) to get the number of *bytes*.
The result is that the tests do all the patching and then only compare
some of the resulting code, so patching bugs that only effect that
last 3/4 of the code could slip through undetected. It turns out that
hasn't been happening, although one test had a bad expected case (see
previous commit).
Fix it for now by multiplying the size by 4 in the affected functions.

When we patch an alternate feature section, we have to adjust any
relative branches that branch out of the alternate section.
But currently we have a bug if we have a branch that points to past
the last instruction of the alternate section, eg:
FTR_SECTION_ELSE
1: b 2f
or 6,6,6
2:
ALT_FTR_SECTION_END(...)
nop
This will result in a relative branch at 1 with a target that equals
the end of the alternate section.
That branch does not need adjusting when it's moved to the non-else
location. Currently we do adjust it, resulting in a branch that goes
off into the link-time location of the else section, which is junk.
The fix is to not patch branches that have a target == end of the
alternate section.

Currently the rfi-flush messages print 'Using <type> flush' for all
enabled_flush_types, but that is not necessarily true -- as now the
fallback flush is always enabled on pseries, but the fixup function
overwrites its nop/branch slot with other flush types, if available.
So, replace the 'Using <type> flush' messages with '<type> flush is
available'.
Also, print the patched flush types in the fixup function, so users
can know what is (not) being used (e.g., the slower, fallback flush,
or no flush type at all if flush is disabled via the debugfs switch).

Merge our fixes branch from the 4.15 cycle.
Unusually the fixes branch saw some significant features merged,
notably the RFI flush patches, so we want the code in next to be
tested against that, to avoid any surprises when the two are merged.
There's also some other work on the panic handling that was reverted
in fixes and we now want to do properly in next, which would conflict.
And we also fix a few other minor merge conflicts.

feature fixups need to use patch_instruction() early in the boot,
even before the code is relocated to its final address, requiring
patch_instruction() to use PTRRELOC() in order to address data.
But feature fixups applies on code before it is set to read only,
even for modules. Therefore, feature fixups can use
raw_patch_instruction() instead.

On some CPUs we can prevent the Meltdown vulnerability by flushing the
L1-D cache on exit from kernel to user mode, and from hypervisor to
guest.
This is known to be the case on at least Power7, Power8 and Power9. At
this time we do not know the status of the vulnerability on other CPUs
such as the 970 (Apple G5), pasemi CPUs (AmigaOne X1000) or Freescale
CPUs. As more information comes to light we can enable this, or other
mechanisms on those CPUs.
The vulnerability occurs when the load of an architecturally
inaccessible memory region (eg. userspace load of kernel memory) is
speculatively executed to the point where its result can influence the
address of a subsequent speculatively executed load.
In order for that to happen, the first load must hit in the L1,
because before the load is sent to the L2 the permission check is
performed. Therefore if no kernel addresses hit in the L1 the
vulnerability can not occur. We can ensure that is the case by
flushing the L1 whenever we return to userspace. Similarly for
hypervisor vs guest.
In order to flush the L1-D cache on exit, we add a section of nops at
each (h)rfi location that returns to a lower privileged context, and
patch that with some sequence. Newer firmwares are able to advertise
to us that there is a special nop instruction that flushes the L1-D.
If we do not see that advertised, we fall back to doing a displacement
flush in software.
For guest kernels we support migration between some CPU versions, and
different CPUs may use different flush instructions. So that we are
prepared to migrate to a machine with a different flush instruction
activated, we may have to patch more than one flush instruction at
boot if the hypervisor tells us to.
In the end this patch is mostly the work of Nicholas Piggin and
Michael Ellerman. However a cast of thousands contributed to analysis
of the issue, earlier versions of the patch, back ports testing etc.
Many thanks to all of them.

Testing the fortified string functions[1] would cause a kernel panic on
boot in test_feature_fixups() due to a buffer overflow in memcmp.
This boils down to things like this:
extern unsigned int ftr_fixup_test1;
extern unsigned int ftr_fixup_test1_orig;
check(memcmp(&ftr_fixup_test1, &ftr_fixup_test1_orig, size) == 0);
We know that these are asm labels so it is safe to read up to 'size'
bytes at those addresses.
However, because we have passed the address of a single unsigned int to
memcmp, the compiler believes the underlying object is in fact a single
unsigned int. So if size > sizeof(unsigned int), there will be a panic
at runtime.
We can fix this by changing the types: instead of calling the asm labels
unsigned ints, call them unsigned int[]s. Therefore the size isn't
incorrectly determined at compile time and we get a regular unsafe
memcmp and no panic.

We cannot do those initializations from apply_feature_fixups() as
this function runs in a very restricted environment on 32-bit where
the kernel isn't running at its linked address and the PTRRELOC()

Instead, split them into a separtate steup_feature_keys() function
which is called in a more suitable spot on ppc32.

We do binary patching of asm code using CPU features, which is a
one-time operation, done during early boot. However checks of CPU
features in C code are currently done at run time, even though the set
of CPU features can never change after boot.
We can optimise this by using jump labels to implement cpu_has_feature(),
meaning checks in C code are binary patched into a single nop or branch.
For a C sequence along the lines of:
if (cpu_has_feature(FOO))
return 2;
The generated code before is roughly:
ld r9,-27640(r2)
ld r9,0(r9)
lwz r9,32(r9)
cmpwi cr7,r9,0
bge cr7, 1f
li r3,2
blr
1: ...
After (true):
nop
li r3,2
blr
After (false):
b 1f
li r3,2
blr
1: ...

name, and define it simply as a constant, rather than doing tricks with

Anton's commit enabling the use of the lwsync fixup mechanism on 64-bit
breaks modules. The lwsync fixup section uses .long instead of the
FTR_ENTRY_OFFSET macro used by other fixups sections, and thus will
generate 32-bit relocations that our module loader cannot resolve.
This changes it to use the same type as other feature sections.
Note however that we might want to consider using 32-bit for all the
feature fixup offsets and add support for R_PPC_REL32 to module_64.c
instead as that would reduce the size of the kernel image. I'll leave
that as an exercise for the reader for now...

To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync
at runtime. On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up
the code. We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu
is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'.
We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is
needed. This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it
for the normal CPU_FTR purpose.
Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it
as small as possible rather than using a full fixup_entry.

the patching routines to check their behaviour, and others use the

Because we have two sets of macros with different names, we use a macro

The current feature section logic only supports nop'ing out code, this means
if you want to choose at runtime between instruction sequences, one or both
cases will have to execute the nop'ed out contents of the other section, eg:
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
or 1,1,1
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(FOO)
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
or 2,2,2
END_FTR_SECTION_IFCLR(FOO)
and the resulting code will be either,
or 1,1,1
nop
or,
nop
or 2,2,2
For small code segments this is fine, but for larger code blocks and in
performance criticial code segments, it would be nice to avoid the nops.
This commit starts to implement logic to allow the following:
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
or 1,1,1
FTR_SECTION_ELSE
or 2,2,2
ALT_FTR_SECTION_END_IFSET(FOO)
and the resulting code will be:
or 1,1,1
or,
or 2,2,2
We achieve this by extending the existing FTR macros. The current feature
section semantic just becomes a special case, ie. if the else case is empty
we nop out the default case.
The key limitation is that the size of the else case must be less than or
equal to the size of the default case. If the else case is smaller the
remainder of the section is nop'ed.
We let the linker put the else case code in with the rest of the text,
so that relative branches from the else case are more likley to link,
this has the disadvantage that we can't free the unused else cases.
This commit introduces the required macro and linker script changes, but
does not enable the patching of the alternative sections.
We also need to update two hand-made section entries in reg.h and timex.h

The logic to patch CPU feature sections lives in cputable.c, but these days
it's used for CPU features as well as firmware features. Move it into
it's own file for neatness and as preparation for some additions.
While we're moving the code, we pull the loop body logic into a separate
routine, and remove a comment which doesn't apply anymore.
