We store 2 multilevel tables in iommu_table - one for the hardware and one with the corresponding userspace addresses. Before allocating the tables, the iommu_table_group_ops::get_table_size() hook returns the combined size of the two and VFIO SPAPR TCE IOMMU driver adjusts the locked_vm counter correctly. When the table is actually allocated, the amount of allocated memory is stored in iommu_table::it_allocated_size and used to decrement the locked_vm counter when we release the memory used by the table; .get_table_size() and .create_table() calculate it independently but the result is expected to be the same. However the allocator does not add the userspace table size to .it_allocated_size so when we destroy the table because of VFIO PCI unplug (i.e. VFIO container is gone but the userspace keeps running), we decrement locked_vm by just a half of size of memory we are releasing. To make things worse, since we enabled on-demand allocation of indirect levels, it_allocated_size contains only the amount of memory actually allocated at the table creation time which can just be a fraction. It is not a problem with incrementing locked_vm (as get_table_size() value is used) but it is with decrementing. As the result, we leak locked_vm and may not be able to allocate more IOMMU tables after few iterations of hotplug/unplug. This sets it_allocated_size in the pnv_pci_ioda2_ops::create_table() hook to what pnv_pci_ioda2_get_table_size() returns so from now on we have a single place which calculates the maximum memory a table can occupy. The original meaning of it_allocated_size is somewhat lost now though. We do not ditch it_allocated_size whatsoever here and we do not call get_table_size() from vfio_iommu_spapr_tce.c when decrementing locked_vm as we may have multiple IOMMU groups per container and even though they all are supposed to have the same get_table_size() implementation, there is a small chance for failure or confusion.

The OPAL call wrapper gets interrupt disabling wrong. It disables interrupts just by clearing MSR[EE], which has two problems: - It doesn't call into the IRQ tracing subsystem, which means tracing across OPAL calls does not always notice IRQs have been disabled. - It doesn't go through the IRQ soft-mask code, which causes a minor bug. MSR[EE] can not be restored by saving the MSR then clearing MSR[EE], because a racing interrupt while soft-masked could clear MSR[EE] between the two steps. This can cause MSR[EE] to be incorrectly enabled when the OPAL call returns. Fortunately that should only result in another masked interrupt being taken to disable MSR[EE] again, but it's a bit sloppy. The existing code also saves MSR to PACA, which is not re-entrant if there is a nested OPAL call from different MSR contexts, which can happen these days with SRESET interrupts on bare metal. To fix these issues, move the tracing and IRQ handling code to C, and call into asm just for the low level call when everything is ready to go. Save the MSR on stack rather than PACA. Performance cost is kept to a minimum with a few optimisations: - The endian switch upon return is combined with the MSR restore, which avoids an expensive context synchronizing operation for LE kernels. This makes up for the additional mtmsrd to enable interrupts with local_irq_enable(). - blr is now used to return from the opal_* functions that are called as C functions, to avoid link stack corruption. This requires a skiboot fix as well to keep the call stack balanced. A NULL call is more costly after this, (410ns->430ns on POWER9), but OPAL calls are generally not performance critical at this scale.

Handlers for interrupts that set DAR / DSISR, set MSR[RI] before those SPRs are read. If a d-side machine check hits in this window, DAR / DSISR will be clobbered silently, leading to random corruption. Fix this by having handlers save those registers before setting MSR[RI].

HV interrupts that use HSRR registers do not enter with MSR[RI] clear, but their entry code is not recoverable vs NMI, due to shared use of HSPRG1 as a scratch register to save r13. This means that a system reset or machine check that hits in HSRR interrupt entry can cause r13 to be silently corrupted. Fix this by marking NMIs non-recoverable if they land in HV interrupt ranges.

After we ALIGN up the address we need to make sure we didn't overflow and resulted in zero address. In that case, we need to make sure that the returned address is greater than mmap_min_addr. This fixes selftest va_128TBswitch --run-hugetlb reporting failures when run as non root user for mmap(-1, MAP_HUGETLB) The bug is that a non-root user requesting address -1 will be given address 0 which will then fail, whereas they should have been given something else that would have succeeded. We also avoid the first mmap(-1, MAP_HUGETLB) returning NULL address as mmap address with this change. So we think this is not a security issue, because it only affects whether we choose an address below mmap_min_addr, not whether we actually allow that address to be mapped. ie. there are existing capability checks to prevent a user mapping below mmap_min_addr and those will still be honoured even without this fix.

Now that thread_info is similar to task_struct, its address is in r2 so CURRENT_THREAD_INFO() macro is useless. This patch removes it. This patch also moves the 'tovirt(r2, r2)' down just before the reactivation of MMU translation, so that we keep the physical address of 'current' in r2 until then. It avoids a few calls to tophys(). At the same time, as the 'cpu' field is not anymore in thread_info, TI_CPU is renamed TASK_CPU by this patch. It also allows to get rid of a couple of '#ifdef CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE' as ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY() and ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_EXIT() are empty when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE is not defined.

When doing this, an explicit test for NULL stack pointer is needed in validate_sp() as it is not anymore implicitely covered by the sizeof(thread_info) gap.

This patch activates CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK which moves the thread_info into task_struct. Moving thread_info into task_struct has the following advantages: - It protects thread_info from corruption in the case of stack overflows. - Its address is harder to determine if stack addresses are leaked, making a number of attacks more difficult. This has the following consequences: - thread_info is now located at the beginning of task_struct. - The 'cpu' field is now in task_struct, and only exists when CONFIG_SMP is active. - thread_info doesn't have anymore the 'task' field. This patch: - Removes all recopy of thread_info struct when the stack changes. - Changes the CURRENT_THREAD_INFO() macro to point to current. - Selects CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK. - Modifies raw_smp_processor_id() to get ->cpu from current without including linux/sched.h to avoid circular inclusion and without including asm/asm-offsets.h to avoid symbol names duplication between ASM constants and C constants. - Modifies klp_init_thread_info() to take a task_struct pointer argument.

[text copied from commit 9bbd4c56 ("arm64: prep stack walkers for THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK")] When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is selected, task stacks may be freed before a task is destroyed. To account for this, the stacks are refcounted, and when manipulating the stack of another task, it is necessary to get/put the stack to ensure it isn't freed and/or re-used while we do so. This patch reworks the powerpc stack walking code to account for this. When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is not selected these perform no refcounting, and this should only be a structural change that does not affect behaviour.

In __secondary_start() we load the thread_info of the idle task of the secondary CPU from current_set[cpu], and then convert it into a stack pointer before storing that back to paca->kstack. As pointed out in commit f761622e ("powerpc: Initialise paca->kstack before early_setup_secondary") it's important that we initialise paca->kstack before calling the MMU setup code, in particular slb_initialize(), because it will bolt the SLB entry for the kstack into the SLB. However we have already setup paca->kstack in cpu_idle_thread_init(), since commit 3b575064 ("[POWERPC] Bolt in SLB entry for kernel stack on secondary cpus") (May 2008). It's also in cpu_idle_thread_init() that we initialise current_set[cpu] with the thread_info pointer, so there is no issue of the timing being different between the two. Therefore the initialisation of paca->kstack in __setup_secondary() is completely redundant, so remove it. This has the added benefit of removing code that runs in real mode, and is therefore restricted by the RMO, and so opens the way for us to enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK.
