This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled powerpc/sstep: Fix load-store and update emulation to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: powerpc-sstep-fix-load-store-and-update-emulation.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit aab9a3f3d3b5c67d6c66ad5beca52bb951f23886 Author: Sandipan Das <sandipan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Feb 4 13:37:43 2021 +0530 powerpc/sstep: Fix load-store and update emulation [ Upstream commit bbda4b6c7d7c7f79da71f95c92a5d76be22c3efd ] 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.
