Ravi Bangoria 344717a14c powerpc/sstep: Fix array out of bound warning
Compiling kernel with -Warray-bounds throws below warning:

  In function 'emulate_vsx_store':
  warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds]
  buf.d[2] = byterev_8(reg->d[1]);
  ~~~~~^~~
  buf.d[3] = byterev_8(reg->d[0]);
  ~~~~~^~~

Fix it by using temporary array variable 'union vsx_reg buf32[]' in
that code block. Also, with element_size = 32, 'union vsx_reg *reg'
is an array of size 2. So, use 'reg' as an array instead of pointer
in the same code block.

Nicholas Piggin 08685be776 powerpc/64s: fix scv entry fallback flush vs interrupt
The L1D flush fallback functions are not recoverable vs interrupts,
yet the scv entry flush runs with MSR[EE]=1. This can result in a
timer (soft-NMI) or MCE or SRESET interrupt hitting here and overwriting
the EXRFI save area, which ends up corrupting userspace registers for
scv return.

Fix this by disabling RI and EE for the scv entry fallback flush.

Nicholas Piggin 9a32a7e78b powerpc/64s: flush L1D after user accesses
IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1 cache
before it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction mechanism. It
is not possible for an attacker to determine the contents of impermissible
memory using this method, since these systems implement a combination of
hardware and software security measures to prevent scenarios where
protected data could be leaked.

However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker induces
the operating system to speculatively execute instructions using data that
the attacker controls. This can be used for example to speculatively bypass
"kernel user access prevention" techniques, as discovered by Anthony
Steinhauser of Google's Safeside Project. This is not an attack by itself,
but there is a possibility it could be used in conjunction with
side-channels or other weaknesses in the privileged code to construct an
attack.

This issue can be mitigated by flushing the L1 cache between privilege
boundaries of concern. This patch flushes the L1 cache after user accesses.

This is part of the fix for CVE-2020-4788.

Jason A. Donenfeld e6037a753e powerpc32: don't adjust unmoved stack pointer in csum_partial_copy_generic() epilogue
A recent change to the checksum code removed usage of some extra
arguments, alongside with storage on the stack for those, and the stack
pointer no longer needed to be adjusted in the function prologue.

But a left over subtraction wasn't removed in the function epilogue,
causing the function to return with the stack pointer moved 16 bytes
away from where it should have.  This corrupted local state and lead to
weird crashes.

This simply removes the leftover instruction from the epilogue.

Dan Williams ec6347bb43 x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}()
In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.

Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().

Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.

One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

Al Viro c693cc4676 saner calling conventions for csum_and_copy_..._user()
All callers of these primitives will
	* discard anything we might've copied in case of error
	* ignore the csum value in case of error
	* always pass 0xffffffff as the initial sum, so the
resulting csum value (in case of success, that is) will never be 0.

That suggest the following calling conventions:
	* don't pass err_ptr - just return 0 on error.
	* don't bother with zeroing destination, etc. in case of error
	* don't pass the initial sum - just use 0xffffffff.

This commit does the minimal conversion in the instances of csum_and_copy_...();
the changes of actual asm code behind them are done later in the series.
Note that this asm code is often shared with csum_partial_copy_nocheck();
the difference is that csum_partial_copy_nocheck() passes 0 for initial
sum while csum_and_copy_..._user() pass 0xffffffff.  Fortunately, we are
free to pass 0xffffffff in all cases and subsequent patches will use that
freedom without any special comments.

A part that could be split off: parisc and uml/i386 claimed to have
csum_and_copy_to_user() instances of their own, but those were identical
to the generic one, so we simply drop them.  Not sure if it's worth
a separate commit...

Nicholas Piggin aa65ff6b18 powerpc/64s: Implement queued spinlocks and rwlocks
These have shown significantly improved performance and fairness when
spinlock contention is moderate to high on very large systems.

With this series including subsequent patches, on a 16 socket 1536
thread POWER9, a stress test such as same-file open/close from all
CPUs gets big speedups, 11620op/s aggregate with simple spinlocks vs
384158op/s (33x faster), where the difference in throughput between
the fastest and slowest thread goes from 7x to 1.4x.

Thanks to the fast path being identical in terms of atomics and
barriers (after a subsequent optimisation patch), single threaded
performance is not changed (no measurable difference).

On smaller systems, performance and fairness seems to be generally
improved. Using dbench on tmpfs as a test (that starts to run into
kernel spinlock contention), a 2-socket OpenPOWER POWER9 system was
tested with bare metal and KVM guest configurations. Results can be
found here:

https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/305#issuecomment-663487453

Observations are:

- Queued spinlocks are equal when contention is insignificant, as
  expected and as measured with microbenchmarks.

- When there is contention, on bare metal queued spinlocks have better
  throughput and max latency at all points.

- When virtualised, queued spinlocks are slightly worse approaching
  peak throughput, but significantly better throughput and max latency
  at all points beyond peak, until queued spinlock maximum latency
  rises when clients are 2x vCPUs.

The regressions haven't been analysed very well yet, there are a lot
of things that can be tuned, particularly the paravirtualised locking,
but the numbers already look like a good net win even on relatively
small systems.

Nicholas Piggin 20d444d06f powerpc/pseries: Move some PAPR paravirt functions to their own file
These functions will be used by the queued spinlock implementation,
and may be useful elsewhere too, so move them out of spinlock.h.
