When probe_kernel_read_inst() was created, there was no good place to
put it, so a file called lib/inst.c was dedicated for it.
Since then, probe_kernel_read_inst() has been renamed
copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault(). And mm/maccess.h didn't exist at that
time. Today, mm/maccess.h is related to copy_from_kernel_nofault().
Move copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault() into mm/maccess.c

We have two independant versions of probe_kernel_read_inst(), one for
PPC32 and one for PPC64.
The PPC32 is identical to the first part of the PPC64 version.
The remaining part of PPC64 version is not relevant for PPC32, but
not contradictory, so we can easily have a common function with
the PPC64 part opted out via a IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC64).
The only need is to add a version of ppc_inst_prefix() for PPC32.

Its name comes from former probe_user_read() function.
That function is now called copy_from_user_nofault().
probe_user_read_inst() uses copy_from_user_nofault() to read only
a few bytes. It is suboptimal.
It does the same as get_user_inst() but in addition disables
page faults.
But on the other hand, it is not used for the time being. So remove it
for now. If one day it is really needed, we can give it a new name
more in line with today's naming, and implement it using get_user_inst()

ksp_limit is there to help detect stack overflows.
That is specific to ppc32 as it was removed from ppc64 in
commit cbc9565ee8 ("powerpc: Remove ksp_limit on ppc64").
There are other means for detecting stack overflows.
As ppc64 has proven to not need it, ppc32 should be able to do
without it too.

Commit af99da7433 ("powerpc/sstep: Support VSX vector paired storage
access instructions") added loading and storing 32 word long data into
adjacent VSRs. However the calculation used to determine if two VSRs
needed to be loaded/stored inadvertently prevented the load/storing
taking place for instructions with a data length less than 16 words.
This causes the emulation to not function correctly, which can be seen
by the alignment_handler selftest:

Commit ccbef1674a ("Kbuild, lto: add ld-version and ld-ifversion
macros") introduced scripts/ld-version.sh for GCC LTO.
At that time, this script handled 5 version fields because GCC LTO
needed the downstream binutils. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272)
The code snippet from the submitted patch was as follows:
# We need HJ Lu's Linux binutils because mainline binutils does not
# support mixing assembler and LTO code in the same ld -r object.
# XXX check if the gcc plugin ld is the expected one too
# XXX some Fedora binutils should also support it. How to check for that?
ifeq ($(call ld-ifversion,-ge,22710001,y),y)
...
However, GCC LTO was not merged into the mainline after all.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272)
So, the 4th and 5th fields were never used, and finally removed by
commit 0d61ed17dd ("ld-version: Drop the 4th and 5th version
components").
Since then, the last 4-digits returned by this script is always zeros.
Remove the meaningless last 4-digits. This makes the version format
consistent with GCC_VERSION, CLANG_VERSION, LLD_VERSION.

The Power ISA says that the fixed-point load and update instructions
must neither use R0 for the base address (RA) nor have the
destination (RT) and the base address (RA) as the same register.
Similarly, for fixed-point stores and floating-point loads and stores,
the instruction is invalid when R0 is used as the base address (RA).
This is applicable to the following instructions.
* Load Byte and Zero with Update (lbzu)
* Load Byte and Zero with Update Indexed (lbzux)
* Load Halfword and Zero with Update (lhzu)
* Load Halfword and Zero with Update Indexed (lhzux)
* Load Halfword Algebraic with Update (lhau)
* Load Halfword Algebraic with Update Indexed (lhaux)
* Load Word and Zero with Update (lwzu)
* Load Word and Zero with Update Indexed (lwzux)
* Load Word Algebraic with Update Indexed (lwaux)
* Load Doubleword with Update (ldu)
* Load Doubleword with Update Indexed (ldux)
* Load Floating Single with Update (lfsu)
* Load Floating Single with Update Indexed (lfsux)
* Load Floating Double with Update (lfdu)
* Load Floating Double with Update Indexed (lfdux)
* Store Byte with Update (stbu)
* Store Byte with Update Indexed (stbux)
* Store Halfword with Update (sthu)
* Store Halfword with Update Indexed (sthux)
* Store Word with Update (stwu)
* Store Word with Update Indexed (stwux)
* Store Doubleword with Update (stdu)
* Store Doubleword with Update Indexed (stdux)
* Store Floating Single with Update (stfsu)
* Store Floating Single with Update Indexed (stfsux)
* Store Floating Double with Update (stfdu)
* Store Floating Double with Update Indexed (stfdux)
E.g. the following behaviour is observed for an invalid load and
update instruction having RA = RT.
While a userspace program having an instruction word like 0xe9ce0001,
i.e. ldu r14, 0(r14), runs without getting receiving a SIGILL on a
Power system (observed on P8 and P9), the outcome of executing that
instruction word varies and its behaviour can be considered to be
undefined.
Attaching an uprobe at that instruction's address results in emulation
which currently performs the load as well as writes the effective
address back to the base register. This might not match the outcome
from hardware.
To remove any inconsistencies, this adds additional checks for the
aforementioned instructions to make sure that the emulation
infrastructure treats them as unknown. The kernel can then fallback to
executing such instructions on hardware.

yet the scv entry flush runs with MSR[EE]=1. This can result in a

IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1 cache
before it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction mechanism. It
is not possible for an attacker to determine the contents of impermissible
memory using this method, since these systems implement a combination of
hardware and software security measures to prevent scenarios where
protected data could be leaked.
However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker induces
the operating system to speculatively execute instructions using data that
the attacker controls. This can be used for example to speculatively bypass
"kernel user access prevention" techniques, as discovered by Anthony
Steinhauser of Google's Safeside Project. This is not an attack by itself,
but there is a possibility it could be used in conjunction with
side-channels or other weaknesses in the privileged code to construct an

IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1 cache
before it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction mechanism. It
is not possible for an attacker to determine the contents of impermissible
memory using this method, since these systems implement a combination of
hardware and software security measures to prevent scenarios where
protected data could be leaked.
However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker induces
the operating system to speculatively execute instructions using data that
the attacker controls. This can be used for example to speculatively bypass
"kernel user access prevention" techniques, as discovered by Anthony
Steinhauser of Google's Safeside Project. This is not an attack by itself,
but there is a possibility it could be used in conjunction with
side-channels or other weaknesses in the privileged code to construct an
attack.
This issue can be mitigated by flushing the L1 cache between privilege
boundaries of concern. This patch flushes the L1 cache on kernel entry.
This is part of the fix for CVE-2020-4788.

A recent change to the checksum code removed usage of some extra
arguments, alongside with storage on the stack for those, and the stack
pointer no longer needed to be adjusted in the function prologue.
But a left over subtraction wasn't removed in the function epilogue,
causing the function to return with the stack pointer moved 16 bytes
away from where it should have. This corrupted local state and lead to
weird crashes.
This simply removes the leftover instruction from the epilogue.

relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.
Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().
Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.
One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

... and get rid of the pointless fallback in the wrappers. On error it used
to zero the unwritten area and calculate the csum of the entire thing. Not
wanting to do it in assembler part had been very reasonable; doing that in
the first place, OTOH... In case of an error the caller discards the data
we'd copied, along with whatever checksum it might've had.

All callers of these primitives will
* discard anything we might've copied in case of error
* ignore the csum value in case of error
* always pass 0xffffffff as the initial sum, so the
resulting csum value (in case of success, that is) will never be 0.
That suggest the following calling conventions:
* don't pass err_ptr - just return 0 on error.
* don't bother with zeroing destination, etc. in case of error
* don't pass the initial sum - just use 0xffffffff.
This commit does the minimal conversion in the instances of csum_and_copy_...();
the changes of actual asm code behind them are done later in the series.
Note that this asm code is often shared with csum_partial_copy_nocheck();
the difference is that csum_partial_copy_nocheck() passes 0 for initial
sum while csum_and_copy_..._user() pass 0xffffffff. Fortunately, we are
free to pass 0xffffffff in all cases and subsequent patches will use that
freedom without any special comments.
A part that could be split off: parisc and uml/i386 claimed to have
csum_and_copy_to_user() instances of their own, but those were identical
to the generic one, so we simply drop them. Not sure if it's worth
a separate commit...

These have shown significantly improved performance and fairness when
spinlock contention is moderate to high on very large systems.
With this series including subsequent patches, on a 16 socket 1536
thread POWER9, a stress test such as same-file open/close from all
CPUs gets big speedups, 11620op/s aggregate with simple spinlocks vs
384158op/s (33x faster), where the difference in throughput between
the fastest and slowest thread goes from 7x to 1.4x.
Thanks to the fast path being identical in terms of atomics and
barriers (after a subsequent optimisation patch), single threaded
performance is not changed (no measurable difference).
On smaller systems, performance and fairness seems to be generally
improved. Using dbench on tmpfs as a test (that starts to run into
kernel spinlock contention), a 2-socket OpenPOWER POWER9 system was
tested with bare metal and KVM guest configurations. Results can be
found here:
https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/305#issuecomment-663487453
Observations are:
- Queued spinlocks are equal when contention is insignificant, as
expected and as measured with microbenchmarks.
- When there is contention, on bare metal queued spinlocks have better
throughput and max latency at all points.
- When virtualised, queued spinlocks are slightly worse approaching
peak throughput, but significantly better throughput and max latency
at all points beyond peak, until queued spinlock maximum latency
rises when clients are 2x vCPUs.
The regressions haven't been analysed very well yet, there are a lot
of things that can be tuned, particularly the paravirtualised locking,
but the numbers already look like a good net win even on relatively
small systems.

From Nick's cover letter:
Linux powerpc new system call instruction and ABI
System Call Vectored (scv) ABI
==============================
The scv instruction is introduced with POWER9 / ISA3, it comes with an
rfscv counter-part. The benefit of these instructions is
performance (trading slower SRR0/1 with faster LR/CTR registers, and
entering the kernel with MSR[EE] and MSR[RI] left enabled, which can
reduce MSR updates. The scv instruction has 128 levels (not enough to
cover the Linux system call space).
Assignment and advertisement
----------------------------
The proposal is to assign scv levels conservatively, and advertise
them with HWCAP feature bits as we add support for more.
Linux has not enabled FSCR[SCV] yet, so executing the scv instruction
will cause the kernel to log a "SCV facility unavilable" message, and
deliver a SIGILL with ILL_ILLOPC to the process. Linux has defined a
HWCAP2 bit PPC_FEATURE2_SCV for SCV support, but does not set it.
This change allocates the zero level ('scv 0'), advertised with
PPC_FEATURE2_SCV, which will be used to provide normal Linux system
calls (equivalent to 'sc').
Attempting to execute scv with other levels will cause a SIGILL to be
delivered the same as before, but will not log a "SCV facility
unavailable" message (because the processor facility is enabled).
Calling convention
------------------
The proposal is for scv 0 to provide the standard Linux system call
ABI with the following differences from sc convention[1]:
- LR is to be volatile across scv calls. This is necessary because the
scv instruction clobbers LR. From previous discussion, this should
be possible to deal with in GCC clobbers and CFI.
- cr1 and cr5-cr7 are volatile. This matches the C ABI and would allow
the kernel system call exit to avoid restoring the volatile cr
registers (although we probably still would anyway to avoid
information leaks).
- Error handling: The consensus among kernel, glibc, and musl is to
move to using negative return values in r3 rather than CR0[SO]=1 to
indicate error, which matches most other architectures, and is
closer to a function call.
Notes
-----
- r0,r4-r8 are documented as volatile in the ABI, but the kernel patch
as submitted currently preserves them. This is to leave room for
deciding which way to go with these. Some small benefit was found by
preserving them[1] but I'm not convinced it's worth deviating from
the C function call ABI just for this. Release code should follow
the ABI.
