cxl_pci_window_alignment() is referenced only via the struct pci_controller_ops.window_alignment function pointer, and only in the powerpc implementation of pcibios_window_alignment(). pcibios_window_alignment() defaults to returning 1 if the function pointer is NULL, which is the same was what cxl_pci_window_alignment() does. cxl_pci_window_alignment() is unnecessary, so remove it. No functional change intended.

Once init section is freed, attempting to patch init code ends up in the weed. Commit 51c3c62b ("powerpc: Avoid code patching freed init sections") protected patch_instruction() against that, but it is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that the patched memory is valid. All callers have now been verified and fixed so the check can be removed. This improves ftrace activation by about 2% on 8xx.

In v5.7 the powerpc syscall entry/exit logic was rewritten in C, on PPC64_ELF_ABI_V1 this resulted in the symbols in the syscall table changing from their dot prefixed variant to the non-prefixed ones. Since ftrace prefixes a dot to the syscall names when matching them to build its syscall event list, this resulted in no syscall events being available. Remove the PPC64_ELF_ABI_V1 specific version of arch_syscall_match_sym_name to have the same behavior across all powerpc variants.

Zero GPRS r14-r31 on entry into the kernel for interrupt sources to limit influence of user-space values in potential speculation gadgets. Prior to this commit, all other GPRS are reassigned during the common prologue to interrupt handlers and so need not be zeroised explicitly. This may be done safely, without loss of register state prior to the interrupt, as the common prologue saves the initial values of non-volatiles, which are unconditionally restored in interrupt_64.S. Mitigation defaults to enabled by INTERRUPT_SANITIZE_REGISTERS.

Zeroise user state in gprs (assign to zero) to reduce the influence of user registers on speculation within kernel syscall handlers. Clears occur at the very beginning of the sc and scv 0 interrupt handlers, with restores occurring following the execution of the syscall handler. Zeroise GPRS r0, r2-r11, r14-r31, on entry into the kernel for all other interrupt sources. The remaining gprs are overwritten by entry macros to interrupt handlers, irrespective of whether or not a given handler consumes these register values. If an interrupt does not select the IMSR_R12 IOption, zeroise r12. Prior to this commit, r14-r31 are restored on a per-interrupt basis at exit, but now they are always restored on 64bit Book3S. Remove explicit REST_NVGPRS invocations on 64-bit Book3S. 32-bit systems do not clear user registers on interrupt, and continue to depend on the return value of interrupt_exit_user_prepare to determine whether or not to restore non-volatiles. The mmap_bench benchmark in selftests should rapidly invoke pagefaults. See ~0.8% performance regression with this mitigation, but this indicates the worst-case performance due to heavier-weight interrupt handlers. This mitigation is able to be enabled/disabled through CONFIG_INTERRUPT_SANITIZE_REGISTERS.

Interrupt handlers in asm/exceptions-64s.S contain a great deal of common code produced by the GEN_COMMON macros. Currently, at the exit point of the macro, r12 will contain the contents of the MSR. A future patch will cause these macros to zeroise architected registers to avoid potential speculation influence of user data. Provide an IOption that signals that r12 must be retained, as the interrupt handler assumes it to hold the contents of the MSR.

Include in asm/ppc_asm.h macros to be used in multiple successive patches to implement zeroising architected registers in interrupt handlers. Registers will be sanitised in this fashion in future patches to reduce the speculation influence of user-controlled register values. These mitigations will be configurable through the CONFIG_INTERRUPT_SANITIZE_REGISTERS Kconfig option. Included are macros for conditionally zeroising registers and restoring as required with the mitigation enabled. With the mitigation disabled, non-volatiles must be restored on demand at separate locations to those required by the mitigation.

Add Kconfig option for enabling clearing of registers on arrival in an interrupt handler. This reduces the speculation influence of registers on kernel internals. The option will be consumed by 64-bit systems that feature speculation and wish to implement this mitigation. This patch only introduces the Kconfig option, no actual mitigations. The primary overhead of this mitigation lies in an increased number of registers that must be saved and restored by interrupt handlers on Book3S systems. Enable by default on Book3E systems, which prior to this patch eagerly save and restore register state, meaning that the mitigation when implemented will have minimal overhead.

Merge Nick's powerpc qspinlock implementation. From his cover letter: This replaces the generic queued spinlock code (like s390 does) with our own implementation. Generic PV qspinlock code is causing latency / starvation regressions on large systems that are resulting in hard lockups reported (mostly in pathoogical cases). The generic qspinlock code has a number of issues important for powerpc hardware and hypervisors that aren't easily solved without changing code that would impact other architectures. Follow s390's lead and implement our own for now. Issues for powerpc using generic qspinlocks: - The previous lock value should not be loaded with simple loads, and need not be passed around from previous loads or cmpxchg results, because powerpc uses ll/sc-style atomics which can perform more complex operations that do not require this. powerpc implementations tend to prefer loads use larx for improved coherency performance. - The queueing process should absolutely minimise the number of stores to the lock word to reduce exclusive coherency probes, important for large system scalability. The pending logic is counter productive here. - Non-atomic unlock for paravirt locks is important (atomic instructions tend to still be more expensive than x86 CPUs). - Yielding to the lock owner is important in the oversubscribed paravirt case, which requires storing the owner CPU in the lock word. - More control of lock stealing for the paravirt case is important to keep latency down on large systems. - The lock acquisition operation should always be made with a special variant of atomic instructions with the lock hint bit set, including (especially) in the queueing paths. This is more a matter of adding more arch lock helpers so not an insurmountable problem for generic code.

This option increases the number of hash misses by limiting the number of kernel HPT entries, by keeping a per-CPU record of the last kernel HPTEs installed, and removing that from the hash table on the next hash insertion. A timer round-robins CPUs removing remaining kernel HPTEs and clearing the TLB (in the case of bare metal) to increase and slightly randomise kernel fault activity.

Adjust the ELFv2 interrupt and switch frames to the minimum C ABI size, plus pt_regs, plus 16 bytes for the aligned regs marker for the int frame (and the switch frame needs to match that because it uses the same regs offset as the int frame).

Stack unwinders need LR and the back chain as a minimum. The switch stack uses regs->nip for its return pointer rather than lrsave, so that was not set in the fork frame, and neither was the back chain. This change sets those fields in the stack.

The interrupt frame detection and loads from the hypothetical pt_regs are not bounds-checked. The next-frame validation only bounds-checks STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD, which does not include the pt_regs. Add another test for this. The user could set r1 to be equal to the address matching the first interrupt frame - STACK_INT_FRAME_SIZE, which is in the previous page due to the kernel redzone, and induce the kernel to load the marker from there. Possibly this could cause a crash at least. If the user could induce the previous page to contain a valid marker, then it might be able to direct perf to read specific memory addresses in a way that could be transmitted back to the user in the perf data.

Provide an option to build big-endian kernels using the ELFv2 ABI. This works on GCC only for now. Clang is rumored to support this, but core build files need updating first, at least. This gives big-endian kernels useful advantages of the ELFv2 ABI, e.g., less stack usage, -mprofile-kernel support, better compatibility with eBPF tools. BE+ELFv2 is not officially supported by the GNU toolchain, but it works fine in testing and has been used by some userspace for some time (e.g., Void Linux).
