Microwatt is a FPGA-based implementation of the Power ISA. It currently only implements little-endian 64-bit mode, and does not (yet) support SMP, VMX, VSX or transactional memory. It has an optional FPU, and an optional MMU (required for running Linux, obviously) which implements a configurable radix tree but not hypervisor mode or nested radix translation. This adds a new machine type to support FPGA-based SoCs with a Microwatt core. CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION can be selected for Microwatt SOCs which don't have the FPU.

Use set_memory_attr() instead of the PPC32 specific change_page_attr() change_page_attr() was checking that the address was not mapped by blocks and was handling highmem, but that's unneeded because the affected pages can't be in highmem and block mapping verification is already done by the callers.

In addition to the set_memory_xx() functions which allows to change the memory attributes of not (yet) used memory regions, implement a set_memory_attr() function to: - set the final memory protection after init on currently used kernel regions. - enable/disable kernel memory regions in the scope of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. Unlike the set_memory_xx() which can act in three step as the regions are unused, this function must modify 'on the fly' as the kernel is executing from them. At the moment only PPC32 will use it and changing page attributes on the fly is not an issue.

To enable strict module RWX on powerpc, set: CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=y You should also have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX=y set to have any real security benefit. ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set to require ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX. This is due to a quirk in arch/Kconfig and arch/powerpc/Kconfig that makes STRICT_MODULE_RWX *on by default* in configurations where STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is *unavailable*. Since this doesn't make much sense, and module RWX without kernel RWX doesn't make much sense, having the same dependencies as kernel RWX works around this problem. Book3s/32 603 and 604 core processors are not able to write protect kernel pages so do not set ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX for Book3s/32.

Commit 74451e66 ("bpf: make jited programs visible in traces") added a default bpf_jit_free() implementation. Powerpc did not use the default bpf_jit_free() as powerpc did not set the images read-only. The default bpf_jit_free() called bpf_jit_binary_unlock_ro() is why it could not be used for powerpc. Commit d53d2f78 ("bpf: Use vmalloc special flag") moved keeping track of read-only memory to vmalloc. This included removing bpf_jit_binary_unlock_ro(). Therefore there is no reason powerpc needs its own bpf_jit_free(). Remove it.

setup_text_poke_area() is a late init call so it runs before mark_rodata_ro() and after the init calls. This lets all the init code patching simply write to their locations. In the future, kprobes is going to allocate its instruction pages RO which means they will need setup_text__poke_area() to have been already called for their code patching. However, init_kprobes() (which allocates and patches some instruction pages) is an early init call so it happens before setup_text__poke_area(). start_kernel() calls poking_init() before any of the init calls. On powerpc, poking_init() is currently a nop. setup_text_poke_area() relies on kernel virtual memory, cpu hotplug and per_cpu_areas being setup. setup_per_cpu_areas(), boot_cpu_hotplug_init() and mm_init() are called before poking_init(). Turn setup_text_poke_area() into poking_init().

The set_memory_{ro/rw/nx/x}() functions are required for STRICT_MODULE_RWX, and are generally useful primitives to have. This implementation is designed to be generic across powerpc's many MMUs. It's possible that this could be optimised to be faster for specific MMUs. This implementation does not handle cases where the caller is attempting to change the mapping of the page it is executing from, or if another CPU is concurrently using the page being altered. These cases likely shouldn't happen, but a more complex implementation with MMU-specific code could safely handle them. On hash, the linear mapping is not kept in the linux pagetable, so this will not change the protection if used on that range. Currently these functions are not used on the linear map so just WARN for now. apply_to_existing_page_range() does not work on huge pages so for now disallow changing the protection of huge pages.

PowerVM introduces two different type of credits: Default and Quality of service (QoS). The total number of default credits available on each LPAR depends on CPU resources configured. But these credits can be shared or over-committed across LPARs in shared mode which can result in paste command failure (RMA_busy). To avoid NX HW contention, the hypervisor ntroduces QoS credit type which makes sure guaranteed access to NX esources. The system admins can assign QoS credits or each LPAR via HMC. Default credit type is used to allocate a VAS window by default as on PowerVM implementation. But the process can pass VAS_TX_WIN_FLAG_QOS_CREDIT flag with VAS_TX_WIN_OPEN ioctl to open QoS type window.

The kernel handles the NX fault by updating CSB or sending signal to process. In multithread applications, children can open VAS windows and can exit without closing them. But the parent can continue to send NX requests with these windows. To prevent pid reuse, reference will be taken on pid and tgid when the window is opened and release them during window close. The current code is not releasing the tgid reference which can cause pid leak and this patch fixes the issue.

Update _tlbiel_pid() such that we can avoid build errors like below when using this function in other places. arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/radix_tlb.c: In function ‘__radix__flush_tlb_range_psize’: arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/radix_tlb.c:114:2: warning: ‘asm’ operand 3 probably does not match constraints 114 | asm volatile(PPC_TLBIEL(%0, %4, %3, %2, %1) | ^~~ arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/radix_tlb.c:114:2: error: impossible constraint in ‘asm’ make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:271: arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/radix_tlb.o] Error 1 m With this fix, we can also drop the __always_inline in __radix_flush_tlb_range_psize which was added by commit e12d6d7d ("powerpc/mm/radix: mark __radix__flush_tlb_range_psize() as __always_inline") Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Acked-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210610083639.387365-1-aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com

When delivering a signal to a sigaction style handler (SA_SIGINFO), we pass pointers to the siginfo and ucontext via r4 and r5. Currently we populate the values in those registers by reading the pointers out of the sigframe in user memory, even though the values in user memory were written by the kernel just prior: unsafe_put_user(&frame->info, &frame->pinfo, badframe_block); unsafe_put_user(&frame->uc, &frame->puc, badframe_block); ... if (ksig->ka.sa.sa_flags & SA_SIGINFO) { err |= get_user(regs->gpr[4], (unsigned long __user *)&frame->pinfo); err |= get_user(regs->gpr[5], (unsigned long __user *)&frame->puc); ie. we write &frame->info into frame->pinfo, and then read frame->pinfo back into r4, and similarly for &frame->uc. The code has always been like this, since linux-fullhistory commit d4f2d95eca2c ("Forward port of 2.4 ppc64 signal changes."). There's no reason for us to read the values back from user memory, rather than just setting the value in the gpr[4/5] directly. In fact reading the value back from user memory opens up the possibility of another user thread changing the values before we read them back. Although any process doing that would be racing against the kernel delivering the signal, and would risk corrupting the stack, so that would be a userspace bug. Note that this is 64-bit only code, so there's no subtlety with the size of pointers differing between kernel and user. Also the frame variable is not modified to point elsewhere during the function. In the past reading the values back from user memory was not costly, but now that we have KUAP on some CPUs it is, so we'd rather avoid it for that reason too. So change the code to just set the values directly, using the same values we have written to the sigframe previously in the function. Note also that this matches what our 32-bit signal code does. Using a version of will-it-scale's signal1_threads that sets SA_SIGINFO, this results in a ~4% increase in signals per second on a Power9, from 229,777 to 239,766.
