powerpc: Drop zalloc_maybe_bootmem()

The only callers of zalloc_maybe_bootmem() are PCI setup routines. These
used to be called early during boot before slab setup, and also during
runtime due to hotplug.

But commit 5537fcb319d0 ("powerpc/pci: Add ppc_md.discover_phbs()")
moved the boot-time calls later, after slab setup, meaning there's no
longer any need for zalloc_maybe_bootmem(), kzalloc() can be used in all
cases.

powerpc: Move C prototypes out of asm-prototypes.h

We originally added asm-prototypes.h in commit 42f5b4cacd78 ("powerpc:
Introduce asm-prototypes.h"). It's purpose was for prototypes of C
functions that are only called from asm, in order to fix sparse
warnings about missing prototypes.

A few months later Nick added a different use case in
commit 4efca4ed05cb ("kbuild: modversions for EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm")
for C prototypes for exported asm functions. This is basically the
inverse of our original usage.

Since then we've added various prototypes to asm-prototypes.h for both
reasons, meaning we now need to unstitch it all.

Dispatch prototypes of C functions into relevant headers and keep
only the prototypes for functions defined in assembly.

For the time being, leave prom_init() there because moving it
into asm/prom.h or asm/setup.h conflicts with
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/bios/shadowrom.o
This will be fixed later by untaggling asm/pci.h and asm/prom.h
or by renaming the function in shadowrom.c

powerpc/64s: flush L1D after user accesses

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 after user accesses.

This is part of the fix for CVE-2020-4788.

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.

powerpc/64s: system call support for scv/rfscv instructions

Add support for the scv instruction on POWER9 and later CPUs.

For now this implements the zeroth scv vector 'scv 0', as identical to
'sc' system calls, with the exception that LR is not preserved, nor
are volatile CR registers, and error is not indicated with CR0[SO],
but by returning a negative errno.

rfscv is implemented to return from scv type system calls. It can not
be used to return from sc system calls because those are defined to
preserve LR.

getpid syscall throughput on POWER9 is improved by 26% (428 to 318
cycles), largely due to reducing mtmsr and mtspr.

powerpc/fsl: Add infrastructure to fixup branch predictor flush

In order to protect against speculation attacks (Spectre
variant 2) on NXP PowerPC platforms, the branch predictor
should be flushed when the privillege level is changed.
This patch is adding the infrastructure to fixup at runtime
the code sections that are performing the branch predictor flush
depending on a boot arg parameter which is added later in a
separate patch.

powerpc: Avoid code patching freed init sections

This stops us from doing code patching in init sections after they've
been freed.

In this chain:
kvm_guest_init() ->
kvm_use_magic_page() ->
fault_in_pages_readable() ->
__get_user() ->
__get_user_nocheck() ->
barrier_nospec();

We have a code patching location at barrier_nospec() and
kvm_guest_init() is an init function. This whole chain gets inlined,
so when we free the init section (hence kvm_guest_init()), this code
goes away and hence should no longer be patched.

We seen this as userspace memory corruption when using a memory
checker while doing partition migration testing on powervm (this
starts the code patching post migration via
/sys/kernel/mobility/migration). In theory, it could also happen when
using /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/barrier_nospec.
