We need to update the user TM feature bits (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM and
PPC_FEATURE2_HTM) to mirror what we do with the kernel TM feature
bit.

At the moment, if firmware reports TM is not available we turn off
the kernel TM feature bit but leave the userspace ones on. Userspace
thinks it can execute TM instructions and it dies trying.

This (together with a QEMU patch) fixes PR KVM, which doesn't currently
support TM.

scan_features() updates cpu_user_features but not cpu_user_features2.

Amongst other things, cpu_user_features2 contains the user TM feature
bits which we must keep in sync with the kernel TM feature bit.

<title>powerpc: scan_features() updates incorrect bits for REAL_LE</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.kobert.dev/pm24.git/commit/?id=6997e57d693b07289694239e52a10d2f02c3a46f'/>
<id>urn:sha1:6997e57d693b07289694239e52a10d2f02c3a46f</id>
<content type='text'>
The REAL_LE feature entry in the ibm_pa_feature struct is missing an MMU
feature value, meaning all the remaining elements initialise the wrong
values.

This means instead of checking for byte 5, bit 0, we check for byte 0,
bit 0, and then we incorrectly set the CPU feature bit as well as MMU
feature bit 1 and CPU user feature bits 0 and 2 (5).

Checking byte 0 bit 0 (IBM numbering), means we're looking at the
"Memory Management Unit (MMU)" feature - ie. does the CPU have an MMU.
In practice that bit is set on all platforms which have the property.

This means we set CPU_FTR_REAL_LE always. In practice that seems not to
matter because all the modern cpus which have this property also
implement REAL_LE, and we've never needed to disable it.

We're also incorrectly setting MMU feature bit 1, which is:

  #define MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx		0x00000002

Luckily the only place that looks for MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx is in Book3E
code, which can't run on the same cpus as scan_features(). So this also
doesn't matter in practice.

Finally in the CPU user feature mask, we're setting bits 0 and 2. Bit 2
is not currently used, and bit 0 is:

  #define PPC_FEATURE_PPC_LE		0x00000001

Which says the CPU supports the old style "PPC Little Endian" mode.
Again this should be harmless in practice as no 64-bit CPUs implement
that mode.

Fix the code by adding the missing initialisation of the MMU feature.

Also add a comment marking CPU user feature bit 2 (0x4) as reserved. It
would be unsafe to start using it as old kernels incorrectly set it.

<title>powerpc/process: Fix altivec SPR not being saved</title>

In save_sprs() in process.c contains the following test:

	if (cpu_has_feature(cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC)))
		t-&gt;vrsave = mfspr(SPRN_VRSAVE);

CPU feature with the mask 0x1 is CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE so the test
is equivilent to:

	if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC) &amp;&amp;
		cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE))

On CPUs without support for both (i.e G5) this results in vrsave not
being saved between context switches. The vector register save/restore
code doesn't use VRSAVE to determine which registers to save/restore,
but the value of VRSAVE is used to determine if altivec is being used
in several code paths.

<title>arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sections</title>

<content type='text'>
KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.

Move the definition of __irq_entry to &lt;linux/interrupt.h&gt; so that the
users don't need to pull in &lt;linux/ftrace.h&gt;.  Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

This changes several users of manual "on"/"off" parsing to use
strtobool.

Some side-effects:
- these uses will now parse y/n/1/0 meaningfully too
- the early_param uses will now bubble up parse errors

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "One of the largest releases for KVM...  Hardly any generic
  changes, but lots of architecture-specific updates.

  ARM:
   - VHE support so that we can run the kernel at EL2 on ARMv8.1 systems
   - PMU support for guests
   - 32bit world switch rewritten in C
   - various optimizations to the vgic save/restore code.

  PPC:
   - enabled KVM-VFIO integration ("VFIO device")
   - optimizations to speed up IPIs between vcpus
   - in-kernel handling of IOMMU hypercalls
   - support for dynamic DMA windows (DDW).

  s390:
   - provide the floating point registers via sync regs;
   - separated instruction vs.  data accesses
   - dirty log improvements for huge guests
   - bugfixes and documentation improvements.

  x86:
   - Hyper-V VMBus hypercall userspace exit
   - alternative implementation of lowest-priority interrupts using
     vector hashing (for better VT-d posted interrupt support)
   - fixed guest debugging with nested virtualizations
   - improved interrupt tracking in the in-kernel IOAPIC
   - generic infrastructure for tracking writes to guest
     memory - currently its only use is to speedup the legacy shadow
     paging (pre-EPT) case, but in the future it will be used for
     virtual GPUs as well
   - much cleanup (LAPIC, kvmclock, MMU, PIT), including ubsan fixes"

Commit 70fe3d9 "powerpc: Restore FPU/VEC/VSX if previously used" introduces a
call to restore_math() late in the syscall return path, after MSR_RI has been
cleared. The MSR_RI flag is used to indicate whether the kernel can take
another exception or not. A cleared MSR_RI flag indicates that the kernel
cannot.

Unfortunately when a machine is under SLB pressure an SLB miss can occur
in restore_math() which (with MSR_RI cleared) leads to an unrecoverable
exception.

  Unrecoverable exception 4100 at c0000000000088d8
  cpu 0x0: Vector: 4100  at [c0000003fa473b20]
      pc: c0000000000088d8: .load_vr_state+0x70/0x110

  [c0000003fa473e30] c000000000007b6c system_call+0x84/0xfc

The clearing of MSR_RI is actually an optimisation to avoid multiple MSR
writes, what must be disabled are interrupts. See comment in entry_64.S:

  /*
   * For performance reasons we clear RI the same time that we
   * clear EE. We only need to clear RI just before we restore r13
   * below, but batching it with EE saves us one expensive mtmsrd call.
   * We have to be careful to restore RI if we branch anywhere from
   * here (eg syscall_exit_work).
   */

At the point of calling restore_math() r13 has not been restored, as such, the
quick fix of turning MSR_RI back on for the call to restore_math() will
eliminate the occurrence of an unrecoverable exception.

We'd like to do a better fix in future.
