Shrikanth HegdeandMadhavan Srinivasan 6a21d3c5b3 powerpc: rtas: use lock guard for mutex
use guard(mutex) for scope based resource management of mutex.
This would make the code simpler and easier to maintain.

Nathan LynchandMichael Ellerman 08273c9f61 powerpc/rtas: arch-wide function token lookup conversions
With the tokens for all implemented RTAS functions now available via
rtas_function_token(), which is optimal and safe for arbitrary
contexts, there is no need to use rtas_token() or cache its result.

Most conversions are trivial, but a few are worth describing in more
detail:

* Error injection token comparisons for lockdown purposes are
  consolidated into a simple predicate: token_is_restricted_errinjct().

* A couple of special cases in block_rtas_call() do not use
  rtas_token() but perform string comparisons against names in the
  function table. These are converted to compare against token values
  instead, which is logically equivalent but less expensive.

* The lookup for the ibm,os-term token can be deferred until needed,
  instead of caching it at boot to avoid device tree traversal during
  panic.

* Since rtas_function_token() accesses a read-only data structure
  without taking any locks, xmon's lookup of set-indicator can be
  performed as needed instead of cached at startup.

Linus Torvalds 96d4f267e4 Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Russell CurreyandMichael Ellerman 57ad583f20 powerpc: Use octal numbers for file permissions
Symbolic macros are unintuitive and hard to read, whereas octal constants
are much easier to interpret.  Replace macros for the basic permission
flags (user/group/other read/write/execute) with numeric constants
instead, across the whole powerpc tree.

Introducing a significant number of changes across the tree for no runtime
benefit isn't exactly desirable, but so long as these macros are still
used in the tree people will keep sending patches that add them.  Not only
are they hard to parse at a glance, there are multiple ways of coming to
the same value (as you can see with 0444 and 0644 in this patch) which
hurts readability.

The function rtas_flash_firmware passes the address of a data structure,
flash_block_list, when making the update-flash-64-and-reboot rtas call.
While the endianness of the address is handled correctly, the endianness
of the data is not.  This patch ensures that the data in flash_block_list
is big endian when passed to rtas on little endian hosts.

ibm,validate-flash-image RTAS call output buffer contains 150 - 200
bytes of data on latest system. Presently we have output
buffer size as 64 bytes and we use sprintf to copy data from
RTAS buffer to local buffer. This causes kernel oops (see below
call trace).

This patch increases local buffer size to 256 and also uses
snprintf instead of sprintf to copy data from RTAS buffer.

David HowellsandAl Viro e8eeded3c5 ppc: Clean up rtas_flash driver somewhat
Clean up some of the problems with the rtas_flash driver:

 (1) It shouldn't fiddle with the internals of the procfs filesystem (altering
     pde->count).

 (2) If pid namespaces are in effect, then you can get multiple inodes
     connected to a single pde, thereby rendering the pde->count > 2 test
     useless.

 (3) The pde->count fudging doesn't work for forked, dup'd or cloned file
     descriptors, so add static mutexes and use them to wrap access to the
     driver through read, write and release methods.

 (4) The driver can only handle one device, so allocate most of the data
     previously attached to the pde->data as static variables instead (though
     allocate the validation data buffer with kmalloc).

 (5) We don't need to save the pde pointers as long as we have the filenames
     available for removal.

 (6) Don't try to multiplex what the update file read method does based on the
     filename.  Instead provide separate file ops and split the function.

Whilst we're at it, tabulate the procfile information and loop through it when
creating or destroying them rather than manually coding each one.

Vasant HegdeandBenjamin Herrenschmidt fb4696c395 powerpc/rtas_flash: Fix bad memory access
We use kmem_cache_alloc() to allocate memory to hold the new firmware
which will be flashed. kmem_cache_alloc() calls rtas_block_ctor() to
set memory to NULL. But these constructor is called only for newly
allocated slabs.

If we run below command multiple time without rebooting, allocator may
allocate memory from the area which was free'd by kmem_cache_free and
it will not call constructor. In this situation we may hit kernel oops.

This patch uses kmem_cache_zalloc() instead of kmem_cache_alloc() to
allocate memory, which makes sure memory is set to 0 before using.
Also removes rtas_block_ctor(), which is no longer required.

Julia LawallandBenjamin Herrenschmidt bc26957c6c powerpc/rtas_flash: Eliminate possible double free
The function initialize_flash_pde_data is only called four times.  All four
calls are in the function rtas_flash_init, and on the failure of any of the
calls, remove_flash_pde is called on the third argument of each of the
calls.  There is thus no need for initialize_flash_pde_data to call
remove_flash_pde on the same argument.  remove_flash_pde kfrees the data
field of its argument, and does not clear that field, so this amounts ot a
possible double free.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

Ravi K. NittalaandBenjamin Herrenschmidt df17f56d8a powerpc/pseries: Cancel RTAS event scan before firmware flash
The RTAS firmware flash update is conducted using an RTAS call that is
serialized by lock_rtas() which uses spin_lock. While the flash is in
progress, rtasd performs scan for any RTAS events that are generated by
the system. rtasd keeps scanning for the RTAS events generated on the
machine. This is performed via workqueue mechanism. The rtas_event_scan()
also uses an RTAS call to scan the events, eventually trying to acquire
the spin_lock before issuing the request.

The flash update takes a while to complete and during this time, any other
RTAS call has to wait. In this case, rtas_event_scan() waits for a long time
on the spin_lock resulting in a soft lockup.

Fix: Just before the flash update is performed, the queued rtas_event_scan()
work item is cancelled from the work queue so that there is no other RTAS
call issued while the flash is in progress. After the flash completes, the
system reboots and the rtas_event_scan() is rescheduled.
