When calling RTAS, the stack pointer is stored in SPRN_SPRG2
in order to be able to restore it in case of machine check in RTAS.
As machine check is not a perfomance critical path, this patch
frees SPRN_SPRG2 by using a field in thread struct instead.

In cpufeatures_process_feature(), if a provided CPU feature is unknown and
enable_unknown is false, we erroneously print that the feature is being
enabled and return true, even though no feature has been enabled, and
may also set feature bits based on the last entry in the match table.
Fix this so that we only set feature bits from the match table if we have
actually enabled a feature from that table, and when failing to enable an
unknown feature, always print the "not enabling" message and return false.
Coincidentally, some older gccs (<GCC 7), when invoked with
-fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc, cause a spurious uninitialised variable
warning in this function:
arch/powerpc/kernel/dt_cpu_ftrs.c: In function ‘cpufeatures_process_feature’:
arch/powerpc/kernel/dt_cpu_ftrs.c:686:7: warning: ‘m’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
if (m->cpu_ftr_bit_mask)
An upcoming patch will enable support for kcov, which requires this option.
This patch avoids the warning.

The xmon debugger IPI handler waits in the callback function while
xmon is still active. This means they don't complete the IPI, and the
initiator always times out waiting for them.
Things manage to work after the timeout because there is some fallback
logic to keep NMI IPI state sane in case of the timeout, but this is a
bit ugly.
This patch changes NMI IPI back to half-asynchronous (i.e., wait for
everyone to call in, do not wait for IPI function to complete), but
the complexity is avoided by going one step further and allowing new
IPIs to be issued before the IPI functions to all complete.
If synchronization against that is required, it is left up to the
caller, but current callers don't require that. In fact with the
timeout handling, callers must be able to cope with this already.

Commit 8792468da5e1 "powerpc: Add the ability to save FPU without
giving it up" unexpectedly removed the MSR_FE0 and MSR_FE1 bits from
the bitmask used to update the MSR of the previous thread in
__giveup_fpu() causing a KVM-PR MacOS guest to lockup and panic the
host kernel.
Leaving FE0/1 enabled means unrelated processes might receive FPEs
when they're not expecting them and crash. In particular if this
happens to init the host will then panic.
eg (transcribed):
qemu-system-ppc[837]: unhandled signal 8 at 12cc9ce4 nip 12cc9ce4 lr 12cc9ca4 code 0
systemd[1]: unhandled signal 8 at 202f02e0 nip 202f02e0 lr 001003d4 code 0
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b
Reinstate these bits to the MSR bitmask to enable MacOS guests to run
under 32-bit KVM-PR once again without issue.

This patch adds a debugfs interface to force scheduling a recovery event.
This can be used to recover a specific PE or schedule a "special" recovery
even that checks for errors at the PHB level.
To force a recovery of a normal PE, use:
echo '<#pe>:<#phb>' > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/eeh_force_recover
To force a scan for broken PHBs:
echo 'hwcheck' > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/eeh_force_recover

To use this function at all #define DEBUG needs to be set in eeh_cache.c.

Adds a debugfs file that can be read to view the contents of the EEH
address cache. This is pretty similar to the existing
eeh_addr_cache_print() function, but that function is intended to debug

The EEH address cache is used to map a physical MMIO address back to a PCI
device. It's useful to know when it's being manipulated, but currently this
requires recompiling with #define DEBUG set. This is pointless since we
have dynamic_debug nowdays, so remove the #ifdef guard and add a pr_debug()
for the remove case too.

GCC 8 warns about the logic in vr_get/set(), which with -Werror breaks
the build:
In function ‘user_regset_copyin’,
inlined from ‘vr_set’ at arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:628:9:
include/linux/regset.h:295:4: error: ‘memcpy’ offset [-527, -529] is
out of the bounds [0, 16] of object ‘vrsave’ with type ‘union
<anonymous>’ [-Werror=array-bounds]
arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c: In function ‘vr_set’:
arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:623:5: note: ‘vrsave’ declared here
} vrsave;
This has been identified as a regression in GCC, see GCC bug 88273.
However we can avoid the warning and also simplify the logic and make
it more robust.
Currently we pass -1 as end_pos to user_regset_copyout(). This says
"copy up to the end of the regset".
The definition of the regset is:
[REGSET_VMX] = {
.core_note_type = NT_PPC_VMX, .n = 34,
.size = sizeof(vector128), .align = sizeof(vector128),
.active = vr_active, .get = vr_get, .set = vr_set
},
The end is calculated as (n * size), ie. 34 * sizeof(vector128).
In vr_get/set() we pass start_pos as 33 * sizeof(vector128), meaning
we can copy up to sizeof(vector128) into/out-of vrsave.
The on-stack vrsave is defined as:
union {
elf_vrreg_t reg;
u32 word;
} vrsave;
And elf_vrreg_t is:
typedef __vector128 elf_vrreg_t;
So there is no bug, but we rely on all those sizes lining up,
otherwise we would have a kernel stack exposure/overwrite on our
hands.
Rather than relying on that we can pass an explict end_pos based on
the sizeof(vrsave). The result should be exactly the same but it's
more obviously not over-reading/writing the stack and it avoids the
compiler warning.

Pull y2038 - time64 system calls from Arnd Bergmann:
This series finally gets us to the point of having system calls with 64-bit
time_t on all architectures, after a long time of incremental preparation
patches.
There was actually one conversion that I missed during the summer,
i.e. Deepa's timex series, which I now updated based the 5.0-rc1 changes
and review comments.
The following system calls are now added on all 32-bit architectures using
the same system call numbers:
403 clock_gettime64
404 clock_settime64
405 clock_adjtime64
406 clock_getres_time64
407 clock_nanosleep_time64
408 timer_gettime64
409 timer_settime64
410 timerfd_gettime64
411 timerfd_settime64
412 utimensat_time64
413 pselect6_time64
414 ppoll_time64
416 io_pgetevents_time64
417 recvmmsg_time64
418 mq_timedsend_time64
419 mq_timedreceiv_time64
420 semtimedop_time64
421 rt_sigtimedwait_time64
422 futex_time64
423 sched_rr_get_interval_time64
Each one of these corresponds directly to an existing system call that
includes a 'struct timespec' argument, or a structure containing a timespec
or (in case of clock_adjtime) timeval. Not included here are new versions
of getitimer/setitimer and getrusage/waitid, which are planned for the
future but only needed to make a consistent API rather than for correct
operation beyond y2038. These four system calls are based on 'timeval', and
it has not been finally decided what the replacement kernel interface will
use instead.
So far, I have done a lot of build testing across most architectures, which
has found a number of bugs. Runtime testing so far included testing LTP on
32-bit ARM with the existing system calls, to ensure we do not regress for
existing binaries, and a test with a 32-bit x86 build of LTP against a
modified version of the musl C library that has been adapted to the new
system call interface [3]. This library can be used for testing on all
architectures supported by musl-1.1.21, but it is not how the support is
getting integrated into the official musl release. Official musl support is
planned but will require more invasive changes to the library.

- Add system calls that have not yet been integrated into all architectures
but that we definitely want there. This includes {,f}statfs64() and
get{eg,eu,g,p,u,pp}id() on alpha, which have been missing traditionally.
- The s390 compat syscall handling is cleaned up to be more like what we
do on other architectures, while keeping the 31-bit pointer
extension. This was merged as a shared branch by the s390 maintainers
and is included here in order to base the other patches on top.
- Add the separate ipc syscalls on all architectures that traditionally
only had sys_ipc(). This version is done without support for IPC_OLD
that is we have in sys_ipc. The new semtimedop_time64 syscall will only
be added here, not in sys_ipc
- Add syscall numbers for a couple of syscalls that we probably don't need
everywhere, in particular pkey_* and rseq, for the purpose of symmetry:
if it's in asm-generic/unistd.h, it makes sense to have it everywhere. I
expect that any future system calls will get assigned on all platforms
together, even when they appear to be specific to a single architecture.
- Prepare for having the same system call numbers for any future calls. In
combination with the generated tables, this hopefully makes it easier to
add new calls across all architectures together.
All of the above are technically separate from the y2038 work, but are done
as preparation before we add the new 64-bit time_t system calls everywhere,
providing a common baseline set of system calls.
I expect that glibc and other libraries that want to use 64-bit time_t will
require linux-5.1 kernel headers for building in the future, and at a much
later point may also require linux-5.1 or a later version as the minimum
kernel at runtime. Having a common baseline then allows the removal of many
architecture or kernel version specific workarounds.

This adds 21 new system calls on each ABI that has 32-bit time_t
today. All of these have the exact same semantics as their existing
counterparts, and the new ones all have macro names that end in 'time64'
for clarification.
This gets us to the point of being able to safely use a C library
that has 64-bit time_t in user space. There are still a couple of
loose ends to tie up in various areas of the code, but this is the
big one, and should be entirely uncontroversial at this point.
In particular, there are four system calls (getitimer, setitimer,
waitid, and getrusage) that don't have a 64-bit counterpart yet,
but these can all be safely implemented in the C library by wrapping
around the existing system calls because the 32-bit time_t they
pass only counts elapsed time, not time since the epoch. They
will be dealt with later.
