powerpc: warn on emulation of dcbz instruction in kernel mode

dcbz instruction shouldn't be used on non-cached memory. Using
it on non-cached memory can result in alignment exception and
implies a heavy handling.

Instead of silentely emulating the instruction and resulting in high
performance degradation, warn whenever an alignment exception is
taken in kernel mode due to dcbz, so that the user is made aware that
dcbz instruction has been used unexpectedly by the kernel.

powerpc/align: Don't use __get_user_instr() on kernel addresses

In the old days, when we didn't have kernel userspace access
protection and had set_fs(), it was wise to use __get_user()
and friends to read kernel memory.

Nowadays, get_user() is granting userspace access and is exclusively
for userspace access.

In alignment exception handler, use probe_kernel_read_inst()
instead of __get_user_instr() for reading instructions in kernel.

This will allow to remove the is_kernel_addr() check in
__get/put_user() in a following patch.

powerpc/align: Convert emulate_spe() to user_access_begin

This patch converts emulate_spe() to using user_access_begin
logic.

Since commit 662bbcb2747c ("mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with
pagefault_disable()"), might_fault() doesn't fire when called from
sections where pagefaults are disabled, which must be the case
when using _inatomic variants of __get_user and __put_user. So
the might_fault() in user_access_begin() is not a problem.

There was a verification of user_mode() together with the access_ok(),
but there is a second verification of user_mode() just after, that
leads to immediate return. The access_ok() is now part of the
user_access_begin which is called after that other user_mode()
verification, so no need to check user_mode() again.

powerpc: Use a datatype for instructions

Currently unsigned ints are used to represent instructions on powerpc.
This has worked well as instructions have always been 4 byte words.

However, ISA v3.1 introduces some changes to instructions that mean
this scheme will no longer work as well. This change is Prefixed
Instructions. A prefixed instruction is made up of a word prefix
followed by a word suffix to make an 8 byte double word instruction.
No matter the endianness of the system the prefix always comes first.
Prefixed instructions are only planned for powerpc64.

Introduce a ppc_inst type to represent both prefixed and word
instructions on powerpc64 while keeping it possible to exclusively
have word instructions on powerpc32.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)

- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

This fixes it by ANDing both sides of the comparison with the mask.

powerpc: Fix handling of alignment interrupt on dcbz instruction

This fixes the emulation of the dcbz instruction in the alignment
interrupt handler. The error was that we were comparing just the
instruction type field of op.type rather than the whole thing,
and therefore the comparison "type != CACHEOP + DCBZ" was always
true.

powerpc: Use instruction emulation infrastructure to handle alignment faults

This replaces almost all of the instruction emulation code in
fix_alignment() with calls to analyse_instr(), emulate_loadstore()
and emulate_dcbz(). The only emulation code left is the SPE
emulation code; analyse_instr() etc. do not handle SPE instructions
at present.

One result of this is that we can now handle alignment faults on
all the new VSX load and store instructions that were added in POWER9.
VSX loads/stores will take alignment faults for unaligned accesses
to cache-inhibited memory.

Another effect is that we no longer rely on the DAR and DSISR values
set by the processor.

With this, we now need to include the instruction emulation code
unconditionally.

powerpc: Fix DAR reporting when alignment handler faults

Anton noticed that if we fault part way through emulating an unaligned
instruction, we don't update the DAR to reflect that.

The DAR value is eventually reported back to userspace as the address
in the SEGV signal, and if userspace is using that value to demand
fault then it can be confused by us not setting the value correctly.

This patch is ugly as hell, but is intended to be the minimal fix and
back ports easily.

powerpc: Don't try to fix up misaligned load-with-reservation instructions

In the past, there was only one load-with-reservation instruction,
lwarx, and if a program attempted a lwarx on a misaligned address, it
would take an alignment interrupt and the kernel handler would emulate
it as though it was lwzx, which was not really correct, but benign since
it is loading the right amount of data, and the lwarx should be paired
with a stwcx. to the same address, which would also cause an alignment
interrupt which would result in a SIGBUS being delivered to the process.

We now have 5 different sizes of load-with-reservation instruction. Of
those, lharx and ldarx cause an immediate SIGBUS by luck since their
entries in aligninfo[] overlap instructions which were not fixed up, but
lqarx overlaps with lhz and will be emulated as such. lbarx can never
generate an alignment interrupt since it only operates on 1 byte.

To straighten this out and fix the lqarx case, this adds code to detect
the l[hwdq]arx instructions and return without fixing them up, resulting
in a SIGBUS being delivered to the process.

powerpc/64: Fix naming of cache block vs. cache line

In a number of places we called "cache line size" what is actually
the cache block size, which in the powerpc architecture, means the
effective size to use with cache management instructions (it can
be different from the actual cache line size).

We fix the naming across the board and properly retrieve both
pieces of information when available in the device-tree.
