      powerpc: Fix 64bit __copy_tofrom_user() regression · f72b728b
      Mark Nelson authored
      This fixes a regression introduced by commit
      a4e22f02 ("powerpc: Update 64bit
      __copy_tofrom_user() using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD").
      
      The same bug that existed in the 64bit memcpy() also exists here so fix
      it here too. The fix is the same as that applied to memcpy() with the
      addition of fixes for the exception handling code required for
      __copy_tofrom_user().
      
      This stops us reading beyond the end of the source region we were told
      to copy.

      powerpc: Fix 64bit memcpy() regression · e423b9ec
      Mark Nelson authored
      This fixes a regression introduced by commit
      25d6e2d7 ("powerpc: Update 64bit memcpy()
      using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD").
      
      This commit allowed CPUs that have the CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD CPU
      feature bit present to do the memcpy() with unaligned load doubles. But,
      along with this came a bug where our final load double would read bytes
      beyond a page boundary and into the next (unmapped) page. This was caught
      by enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
      
      The fix was to read only the number of bytes that we need to store rather
      than reading a full 8-byte doubleword and storing only a portion of that.
      
      In order to minimise the amount of existing code touched we use the
      original do_tail for the src_unaligned case.
      
      Below is an example of the regression, as reported by Sachin Sant:

      powerpc: Fix load/store float double alignment handler · 49f297f8
      Michael Neuling authored
      When we introduced VSX, we changed the way FPRs are stored in the
      thread_struct.  Unfortunately we missed the load/store float double
      alignment handler code when updating how we access FPRs in the
      thread_struct.
      
      Below fixes this and merges the little/big endian case.
