Michael Ellerman 478036c4cd powerpc: Fix initrd corruption with relative jump labels 
Commit b0b3b2c78e ("powerpc: Switch to relative jump labels") switched
us to using relative jump labels. That involves changing the code,
target and key members in struct jump_entry to be relative to the
address of the jump_entry, rather than absolute addresses.

We have two static inlines that create a struct jump_entry,
arch_static_branch() and arch_static_branch_jump(), as well as an asm
macro ARCH_STATIC_BRANCH, which is used by the pseries-only hypervisor
tracing code.

Unfortunately we missed updating the key to be a relative reference in
ARCH_STATIC_BRANCH.

That causes a pseries kernel to have a handful of jump_entry structs
with bad key values. Instead of being a relative reference they instead
hold the full address of the key.

However the code doesn't expect that, it still adds the key value to the
address of the jump_entry (see jump_entry_key()) expecting to get a
pointer to a key somewhere in kernel data.

The table of jump_entry structs sits in rodata, which comes after the
kernel text. In a typical build this will be somewhere around 15MB. The
address of the key will be somewhere in data, typically around 20MB.
Adding the two values together gets us a pointer somewhere around 45MB.

We then call static_key_set_entries() with that bad pointer and modify
some members of the struct static_key we think we are pointing at.

A pseries kernel is typically ~30MB in size, so writing to ~45MB won't
corrupt the kernel itself. However if we're booting with an initrd,
depending on the size and exact location of the initrd, we can corrupt
the initrd. Depending on how exactly we corrupt the initrd it can either
cause the system to not boot, or just corrupt one of the files in the
initrd.

The fix is simply to make the key value relative to the jump_entry
struct in the ARCH_STATIC_BRANCH macro.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
