In __copy_tofrom_user, if we encounter an exception on a store, we
stop copying and return the number of bytes not copied. However,
if the store is wider than one byte and is to an unaligned address,
it is possible that the store operand overlaps a page boundary
and the exception occurred on the latter part of the store operand,
meaning that it would be possible to copy a few more bytes. Since
copy_to_user is generally expected to copy as much as possible,
it would be better to copy those extra few bytes. This adds code
to do that. Since this edge case is not performance-critical,
the code has been written to be compact rather than as fast as
possible.

The hand-coded assembler 64-bit copy routines include feature sections
that select one code path or another depending on which CPU we are
executing on. The self-tests for these copy routines end up testing
just one path. This adds a mechanism for selecting any desired code
path at compile time, and makes 2 or 3 versions of each test, each
using a different code path, so as to cover all the possible paths.

This aims to make the generation of exception table entries for the
loads and stores in __copy_tofrom_user_base clearer and easier to
verify. Instead of having a series of local labels on the loads and
stores, with a series of corresponding labels later for the exception
handlers, we now use macros to generate exception table entries at the
point of each load and store that could potentially trap. We do this
with the macros lex (load exception) and stex (store exception).
These macros are used right before the load or store to which they
apply.
Some complexity is introduced by the fact that we have some more work
to do after hitting an exception, because we need to calculate and
return the number of bytes not copied. The code uses r3 as the
current pointer into the destination buffer, that is, the address of
the first byte of the destination that has not been modified.
However, at various points in the copy loops, r3 can be 4, 8, 16 or 24
bytes behind that point.
To express this offset in an understandable way, we define a symbol
r3_offset which is updated at various points so that it equal to the
difference between the address of the first unmodified byte of the
destination and the value in r3. (In fact it only needs to be
accurate at the point of each lex or stex macro invocation.)
The rules for updating r3_offset are as follows:
* It starts out at 0
* An addi r3,r3,N instruction decreases r3_offset by N
* A store instruction (stb, sth, stw, std) to N(r3)
increases r3_offset by the width of the store (1, 2, 4, 8)
* A store with update instruction (stbu, sthu, stwu, stdu) to N(r3)
sets r3_offset to the width of the store.
There is some trickiness to the way that the lex and stex macros and
the associated exception handlers work. I would have liked to use
the current value of r3_offset in the name of the symbol used as
the exception handler, as in ".Lld_exc_$(r3_offset)" and then
have symbols .Lld_exc_0, .Lld_exc_8, .Lld_exc_16 etc. corresponding
to the offsets that needed to be added to r3. However, I couldn't
see a way to do that with gas.
Instead, the exception handler address is .Lld_exc - r3_offset or
.Lst_exc - r3_offset, that is, the distance ahead of .Lld_exc/.Lst_exc
that we start executing is equal to the amount that we need to add to
r3. This works because r3_offset is always a small multiple of 4,
and our instructions are 4 bytes long. This means that before
.Lld_exc and .Lst_exc, we have a sequence of instructions that
increments r3 by 4, 8, 16 or 24 depending on where we start. The
sequence increments r3 by 4 per instruction (on average).
We also replace the exception table for the 4k copy loop by a
macro per load or store. These loads and stores all use exactly
the same exception handler, which simply resets the argument registers
r3, r4 and r5 to there original values and re-does the whole copy
using the slower loop.

Add a macro and some helper C functions for patching single asm
instructions.
The gas macro means we can do something like:
1: nop
patch_site 1b, patch__foo
Which is less visually distracting than defining a GLOBAL symbol at 1,
and also doesn't pollute the symbol table which can confuse eg. perf.
These are obviously similar to our existing feature sections, but are
not automatically patched based on CPU/MMU features, rather they are
designed to be manually patched by C code at some arbitrary point.

The generic implementation of strlen() reads strings byte per byte.
This patch implements strlen() in assembly based on a read of entire
words, in the same spirit as what some other arches and glibc do.
On a 8xx the time spent in strlen is reduced by 3/4 for long strings.
strlen() selftest on an 8xx provides the following values:
Before the patch (ie with the generic strlen() in lib/string.c):
len 256 : time = 1.195055
len 016 : time = 0.083745
len 008 : time = 0.046828
len 004 : time = 0.028390
After the patch:
len 256 : time = 0.272185 ==> 78% improvment
len 016 : time = 0.040632 ==> 51% improvment
len 008 : time = 0.033060 ==> 29% improvment
len 004 : time = 0.029149 ==> 2% degradation
On a 832x:
Before the patch:
len 256 : time = 0.236125
len 016 : time = 0.018136
len 008 : time = 0.011000
len 004 : time = 0.007229
After the patch:
len 256 : time = 0.094950 ==> 60% improvment
len 016 : time = 0.013357 ==> 26% improvment
len 008 : time = 0.010586 ==> 4% improvment

This patch is based on the previous VMX patch on memcmp().
To optimize ppc64 memcmp() with VMX instruction, we need to think about
the VMX penalty brought with: If kernel uses VMX instruction, it needs
to save/restore current thread's VMX registers. There are 32 x 128 bits
VMX registers in PPC, which means 32 x 16 = 512 bytes for load and store.
The major concern regarding the memcmp() performance in kernel is KSM,
who will use memcmp() frequently to merge identical pages. So it will
make sense to take some measures/enhancement on KSM to see whether any
improvement can be done here. Cyril Bur indicates that the memcmp() for
KSM has a higher possibility to fail (unmatch) early in previous bytes
in following mail.
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/817322/#1773629
And I am taking a follow-up on this with this patch.
Per some testing, it shows KSM memcmp() will fail early at previous 32
bytes. More specifically:
- 76% cases will fail/unmatch before 16 bytes;
- 83% cases will fail/unmatch before 32 bytes;
- 84% cases will fail/unmatch before 64 bytes;
So 32 bytes looks a better choice than other bytes for pre-checking.
The early failure is also true for memcmp() for non-KSM case. With a
non-typical call load, it shows ~73% cases fail before first 32 bytes.
This patch adds a 32 bytes pre-checking firstly before jumping into VMX
operations, to avoid the unnecessary VMX penalty. It is not limited to
KSM case. And the testing shows ~20% improvement on memcmp() average
execution time with this patch.
And note the 32B pre-checking is only performed when the compare size
is long enough (>=4K currently) to allow VMX operation.

Currently memcmp() 64bytes version in powerpc will fall back to .Lshort
(compare per byte mode) if either src or dst address is not 8 bytes aligned.
It can be opmitized in 2 situations:
1) if both addresses are with the same offset with 8 bytes boundary:
memcmp() can compare the unaligned bytes within 8 bytes boundary firstly
and then compare the rest 8-bytes-aligned content with .Llong mode.
2) If src/dst addrs are not with the same offset of 8 bytes boundary:
memcmp() can align src addr with 8 bytes, increment dst addr accordingly,
then load src with aligned mode and load dst with unaligned mode.
This patch optmizes memcmp() behavior in the above 2 situations.
Tested with both little/big endian. Performance result below is based on
little endian.

speculation barrier.
Only one barrier type is supported and it does nothing when the
firmware does not enable it. Also re-patching modules is not supported
So the only meaningful thing that can be done is patching out the

On some CPUs we can prevent a vulnerability related to store-to-load
forwarding by preventing store forwarding between privilege domains,
by inserting a barrier in kernel entry and exit paths.
This is known to be the case on at least Power7, Power8 and Power9
powerpc CPUs.
Barriers must be inserted generally before the first load after moving
to a higher privilege, and after the last store before moving to a
lower privilege, HV and PR privilege transitions must be protected.
Barriers are added as patch sections, with all kernel/hypervisor entry
points patched, and the exit points to lower privilge levels patched
similarly to the RFI flush patching.
Firmware advertisement is not implemented yet, so CPU flush types
are hard coded.

Add a test of the relative branch patching logic in the alternate
section feature fixup code. This tests that if we branch past the last
instruction of the alternate section, the branch is not patched.
That's because the assembler will have created a branch that already
points to the first instruction after the patched section, which is
correct and needs no further patching.

The code patching code has always been a bit confused about whether
it's best to use void *, unsigned int *, char *, etc. to point to
instructions. In fact in the feature fixups tests we use both unsigned
int[] and u8[] in different places.
Unfortunately the tests that use unsigned int[] calculate the size of
the code blocks using subtraction of those unsigned int pointers, and
then pass the result to memcmp(). This means we're only comparing 1/4
of the bytes we need to, because we need to multiply by
sizeof(unsigned int) to get the number of *bytes*.
The result is that the tests do all the patching and then only compare
some of the resulting code, so patching bugs that only effect that
last 3/4 of the code could slip through undetected. It turns out that
hasn't been happening, although one test had a bad expected case (see
previous commit).
Fix it for now by multiplying the size by 4 in the affected functions.

The expected case for this test was wrong, the source of the alternate
code sequence is:
FTR_SECTION_ELSE
2: or 2,2,2
PPC_LCMPI r3,1
beq 3f
blt 2b
b 3f
b 1b
ALT_FTR_SECTION_END(0, 1)
3: or 1,1,1
or 2,2,2
4: or 3,3,3
So when it's patched the '3' label should still be on the 'or 1,1,1',
and the 4 label is irrelevant and can be removed.

When we patch an alternate feature section, we have to adjust any
relative branches that branch out of the alternate section.
But currently we have a bug if we have a branch that points to past
the last instruction of the alternate section, eg:
FTR_SECTION_ELSE
1: b 2f
or 6,6,6
2:
ALT_FTR_SECTION_END(...)
nop
This will result in a relative branch at 1 with a target that equals
the end of the alternate section.
That branch does not need adjusting when it's moved to the non-else
location. Currently we do adjust it, resulting in a branch that goes
off into the link-time location of the else section, which is junk.
The fix is to not patch branches that have a target == end of the
alternate section.

Currently the rfi-flush messages print 'Using <type> flush' for all
enabled_flush_types, but that is not necessarily true -- as now the
fallback flush is always enabled on pseries, but the fixup function
overwrites its nop/branch slot with other flush types, if available.
So, replace the 'Using <type> flush' messages with '<type> flush is
available'.
Also, print the patched flush types in the fixup function, so users
can know what is (not) being used (e.g., the slower, fallback flush,
or no flush type at all if flush is disabled via the debugfs switch).

Merge our fixes branch from the 4.15 cycle.
Unusually the fixes branch saw some significant features merged,
notably the RFI flush patches, so we want the code in next to be
tested against that, to avoid any surprises when the two are merged.
There's also some other work on the panic handling that was reverted
in fixes and we now want to do properly in next, which would conflict.
And we also fix a few other minor merge conflicts.
feature fixups need to use patch_instruction() early in the boot,
even before the code is relocated to its final address, requiring
patch_instruction() to use PTRRELOC() in order to address data.
But feature fixups applies on code before it is set to read only,
even for modules. Therefore, feature fixups can use
raw_patch_instruction() instead.

On some CPUs we can prevent the Meltdown vulnerability by flushing the
L1-D cache on exit from kernel to user mode, and from hypervisor to
guest.
This is known to be the case on at least Power7, Power8 and Power9. At
this time we do not know the status of the vulnerability on other CPUs
such as the 970 (Apple G5), pasemi CPUs (AmigaOne X1000) or Freescale
CPUs. As more information comes to light we can enable this, or other
mechanisms on those CPUs.
The vulnerability occurs when the load of an architecturally
inaccessible memory region (eg. userspace load of kernel memory) is
speculatively executed to the point where its result can influence the
address of a subsequent speculatively executed load.
In order for that to happen, the first load must hit in the L1,
because before the load is sent to the L2 the permission check is
performed. Therefore if no kernel addresses hit in the L1 the
vulnerability can not occur. We can ensure that is the case by
flushing the L1 whenever we return to userspace. Similarly for
hypervisor vs guest.
In order to flush the L1-D cache on exit, we add a section of nops at
each (h)rfi location that returns to a lower privileged context, and
patch that with some sequence. Newer firmwares are able to advertise
to us that there is a special nop instruction that flushes the L1-D.
If we do not see that advertised, we fall back to doing a displacement
flush in software.
For guest kernels we support migration between some CPU versions, and
different CPUs may use different flush instructions. So that we are
prepared to migrate to a machine with a different flush instruction
activated, we may have to patch more than one flush instruction at
boot if the hypervisor tells us to.
In the end this patch is mostly the work of Nicholas Piggin and
Michael Ellerman. However a cast of thousands contributed to analysis
of the issue, earlier versions of the patch, back ports testing etc.
Many thanks to all of them.

There's one more fix for the >128T handling on hash. Once a process had

Implement the architecture specific portitions of the UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE
API. This provides functions for the copy_user_flushcache iterator that
ensure that when the copy is finished the destination buffer contains
a copy of the original and that the destination buffer is clean in the
processor caches.

Implement the architecture specific cache maintence functions that make
up the "PMEM API". Currently the writeback and invalidate functions
are the same since the function of the DCBST (data cache block store)
instruction is typically interpreted as "writeback to the point of
coherency" rather than to memory. As a result implementing the API
requires a full cache flush rather than just a cache write back. This
will probably change in the not-too-distant future.

Commit 3cdfcbfd32 ("powerpc: Change analyse_instr so it doesn't
modify *regs") introduced emulate_update_regs() to perform part of what
emulate_step() was doing earlier. However, this function was not added
to the kprobes blacklist. Add it so as to prevent it from being probed.

We have some dependencies & conflicts between patches in fixes and
things to go in next, both in the radix TLB flush code and the IMC PMU
driver. So merge fixes into next.
