For fadump case, passing additional parameters to dump capture kernel helps in minimizing the memory footprint for it and also provides the flexibility to disable components/modules, like hugepages, that are hindering the boot process of the special dump capture environment. Set up a dedicated parameter area to be passed to the capture kernel. This area type is defined as RTAS_FADUMP_PARAM_AREA. Sysfs attribute '/sys/kernel/fadump/bootargs_append' is exported to the userspace to specify the additional parameters to be passed to the capture kernel Signed-off-by: Hari Bathini <hbathini@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://msgid.link/20240509115755.519982-3-hbathini@linux.ibm.com

Currently, fadump on pseries assumes a single boot memory region even though f/w supports more than one boot memory region. Add support for more boot memory regions to make the implementation flexible for any enhancements that introduce other region types. For this, rtas memory structure for fadump is updated to have multiple boot memory regions instead of just one. Additionally, methods responsible for creating the fadump memory structure during both the first and second kernel boot have been modified to take these multiple boot memory regions into account. Also, a new callback has been added to the fadump_ops structure to get the maximum boot memory regions supported by the platform.

All these commands end up peeking into the PACA using the user originated cpu id as an index. Check the cpu id is valid in order to prevent xmon to crash. Instead of printing an error, this follows the same behavior as the "lp s #" command : ignore the buggy cpu id parameter and fall back to the #-less version of the command.

The patching page set up as a writable alias may be in quadrant 0 (userspace) if the temporary mm path is used. This causes sanitiser failures if so. Sanitiser failures also occur on the non-mm path because the plain memset family is instrumented, and KASAN treats the patching window as poisoned. Introduce locally defined patch_* variants of memset that perform an uninstrumented lower level set, as well as detecting write errors like the original single patch variant does. copy_to_user() is not correct here, as the PTE makes it a proper kernel page (the EAA is privileged access only, RW). It just happens to be in quadrant 0 because that's the hardware's mechanism for using the current PID vs PID 0 in translations. Importantly, it's incorrect to allow user page accesses. Now that the patching memsets are used, we also propagate a failure up to the caller as the single patch variant does.

The kasan_init_phys_region() function maps shadow pages necessary for the ranges of the linear map backed by physical pages. Currently kasan_init_phys_region() is being passed physical addresses, but kasan_mem_to_shadow() expects virtual addresses. It works right now because the lower bits (12:64) of the kasan_mem_to_shadow() calculation are the same for the real and virtual addresses, so the actual PTE value is the same in the end. But virtual addresses are the intended input, so fix it.

There is code that builds with calls to IO accessors even when CONFIG_PCI=n, but the actual calls are guarded by runtime checks. If not those calls would be faulting, because the page at virtual address zero is (usually) not mapped into the kernel. As Arnd pointed out, it is possible a large port value could cause the address to be above mmap_min_addr which would then access userspace, which would be a bug. To avoid any such issues, set _IO_BASE to POISON_POINTER_DELTA. That is a value chosen to point into unmapped space between the kernel and userspace, so any access will always fault. Note that on 32-bit POISON_POINTER_DELTA is 0, so the patch only has an effect on 64-bit.

With -Wextra clang warns about pointer arithmetic using a null pointer. When building with CONFIG_PCI=n, that triggers a warning in the IO accessors, eg: In file included from linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h:672: linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io-defs.h:23:1: warning: performing pointer arithmetic on a null pointer has undefined behavior [-Wnull-pointer-arithmetic] 23 | DEF_PCI_AC_RET(inb, u8, (unsigned long port), (port), pio, port) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ... linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h:591:53: note: expanded from macro '__do_inb' 591 | #define __do_inb(port) readb((PCI_IO_ADDR)_IO_BASE + port); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ That is because when CONFIG_PCI=n, _IO_BASE is defined as 0. Although _IO_BASE is defined as plain 0, the cast (PCI_IO_ADDR) converts it to void * before the addition with port happens. Instead the addition can be done first, and then the cast. The resulting value will be the same, but avoids the warning, and also avoids void pointer arithmetic which is apparently non-standard.

Currently, bpf jit code on powerpc assumes all the bpf functions and helpers to be part of core kernel text. This is false for kfunc case, as function addresses may not be part of core kernel text area. So, add support for addresses that are not within core kernel text area too, to enable kfunc support. Emit instructions based on whether the function address is within core kernel text address or not, to retain optimized instruction sequence where possible. In case of PCREL, as a bpf function that is not within core kernel text area is likely to go out of range with relative addressing on kernel base, use PC relative addressing. If that goes out of range, load the full address with PPC_LI64(). With addresses that are not within core kernel text area supported, override bpf_jit_supports_kfunc_call() to enable kfunc support. Also, override bpf_jit_supports_far_kfunc_call() to enable 64-bit pointers, as an address offset can be more than 32-bit long on PPC64.

With PCREL addressing, there is no kernel TOC. So, it is not setup in prologue when PCREL addressing is used. But the number of instructions to skip on a tail call was not adjusted accordingly. That resulted in not so obvious failures while using tailcalls. 'tailcalls' selftest crashed the system with the below call trace: bpf_test_run+0xe8/0x3cc (unreliable) bpf_prog_test_run_skb+0x348/0x778 __sys_bpf+0xb04/0x2b00 sys_bpf+0x28/0x38 system_call_exception+0x168/0x340 system_call_vectored_common+0x15c/0x2ec Also, as bpf programs are always module addresses and a bpf helper in general is a core kernel text address, using PC relative addressing often fails with "out of range of pcrel address" error. Switch to using kernel base for relative addressing to handle this better.

Now that we track a DEXCR on a per-task basis, individual tasks are free to configure it as they like. The interface is a pair of getter/setter prctl's that work on a single aspect at a time (multiple aspects at once is more difficult if there are different rules applied for each aspect, now or in future). The getter shows the current state of the process config, and the setter allows setting/clearing the aspect.

Inheriting the DEXCR across exec can have security and usability concerns. If a program is compiled with hash instructions it generally expects to run with NPHIE enabled. But if the parent process disables NPHIE then if it's not careful it will be disabled for any children too and the protection offered by hash checks is basically worthless. This patch introduces a per-process reset value that new execs in a particular process tree are initialized with. This enables fine grained control over what DEXCR value child processes run with by default. For example, containers running legacy binaries that expect hash instructions to act as NOPs could configure the reset value of the container root to control the default reset value for all members of the container.

Add capability to make the DEXCR act as a per-process SPR. We do not yet have an interface for changing the values per task. We also expect the kernel to use a single DEXCR value across all tasks while in privileged state, so there is no need to synchronize after changing it (the userspace aspects will synchronize upon returning to userspace).

The hashchk tests want to verify that the hash key is changed over exec. It does so by calculating hashes at the same address across an exec. This is made simpler by disabling PIE functionality, so we can re-execute ourselves and be using the same addresses in the child. While -fno-pie is already added, -no-pie is also required.

The last function to reference module_bug_list went in 2008's commit b9754568 ("powerpc: Remove dead module_find_bug code") but I don't think that was called since 2006's commit 73c9ceab ("[POWERPC] Generic BUG for powerpc") Now that the list has gone, I think we can also clean up the bug entries in mod_arch_specific. Lightly boot tested. Signed-off-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <linux@treblig.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://msgid.link/20240503002317.183500-1-linux@treblig.org
