This series addresses a few bug fixes across KVM PPC Book3S HV
locking/synchronization and paired-single instruction decoding:
Patches 1 & 2 fix synchronization and preemption issues introduced in
commit 6165d5dd99db ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: add virtual mode handlers for
HPT hcalls and page faults"):
- Patch 1 adds SRCU read lock protection when walking memslots during
virtual-mode HPT hcalls to prevent use-after-free races with concurrent
memslot updates.
- Patch 2 adds preempt_disable() around virtual-mode HPTE bit-lock holders
and raw spinlock usage to prevent CPU stalls and deadlocks on preemption.
Patch 3 fixes paired-single D-form instruction emulation:
- Patch 3 fixes get_d_signext() to correctly extract the full 12-bit D
displacement field and perform proper two's-complement sign extension.
Testing:
========
All test kernel builds were compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y.
The following scenarios were verified:
1. Power9 PowerNV (L0) in Radix mode:
- Booted L0 host with kernel containing all 3 patches.
- Booted KVM guests in both Radix and Hash modes.
- Ran kernel build workload inside guests — no errors observed.
- Booted L1 guest with the same kernel — booted and ran cleanly.
2. Power9 PowerNV (L0) in Hash mode:
- Booted L0 host with kernel containing all 3 patches.
- Booted KVM guest in Hash mode.
- Ran kernel build workload inside guest — no errors observed.
- Booted L1 nested guest with the same kernel — booted and ran cleanly.
3. Power10 LPAR (L1):
- Booted Power10 LPAR with the patched kernel.
- Booted KVM guest and ran workloads — no errors observed.

The virtual-mode HPT hcall handlers (H_ENTER, H_REMOVE, H_BULK_REMOVE,
H_CLEAR_REF, H_CLEAR_MOD) call into book3s_hv_rm_mmu.c, which accesses
memslots via kvm_memslots_raw(). kvm_memslots_raw() uses
rcu_dereference_raw_check() to bypass SRCU lockdep annotation checking.
This is safe in real mode because the entire guest entry/exit is wrapped
in srcu_read_lock/unlock inside kvmppc_run_core() and
kvmhv_run_single_vcpu().
However, since commit 6165d5dd99db ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: add virtual
mode handlers for HPT hcalls and page faults"), these same handlers are
also executed in virtual mode via kvmppc_pseries_do_hcall(), which runs
after SRCU has already been released on guest exit.
A concurrent KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION deletion or move can therefore
call synchronize_srcu_expedited() — which does not wait for this thread —
and then kfree(slot) and vfree(slot->arch.rmap) while the hcall handler
still holds a raw pointer to the memslot. lock_rmap() then writes to
freed vmalloc memory, leading to use-after-free and memory corruption.
Because kvm_memslots_raw() suppresses lockdep checks, this race is
entirely silent.
Fix this by factoring out the 7 HPT hcall handlers (H_REMOVE, H_ENTER,
H_READ, H_CLEAR_MOD, H_CLEAR_REF, H_PROTECT, H_BULK_REMOVE) into a
helper function, kvmppc_pseries_do_hpt_hcall(), and wrapping its call
site in srcu_read_lock(&kvm->srcu) / srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu, idx).
Targeting only the HPT hcalls avoids wrapping non-HPT hcalls that sleep
(such as H_CONFER, H_REGISTER_VPA, H_PAGE_INIT) or handlers that already
acquire SRCU internally (such as H_RTAS).

kvmppc_hv_find_lock_hpte() requires virtual-mode callers to run with
preemption disabled, because it can return with HPTE_V_HVLOCK still held
until the caller later unlocks the HPTE. Existing virtual-mode callers
in book3s_64_mmu_hv.c already follow that rule.
Two virtual-mode call paths do not:
1. kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() calls kvmppc_hpte_hv_fault() for hash-mode
data-side and instruction-side faults after guest exit, with
preemption already enabled. kvmppc_hpte_hv_fault() calls
kvmppc_hv_find_lock_hpte() directly.
2. kvmppc_pseries_do_hcall() executes virtual-mode handlers for HPT
hcalls via kvmppc_pseries_do_hpt_hcall() with preemption enabled.
The handlers for H_ENTER, H_REMOVE, H_READ, H_CLEAR_MOD, H_CLEAR_REF,
H_PROTECT, and H_BULK_REMOVE spin on try_lock_hpte() or lock_rmap(),
and H_ENTER also reaches kvmppc_do_h_enter(), which uses
arch_spin_lock() on kvm->mmu_lock. That raw lock choice is
intentional because kvmppc_do_h_enter() is also used by real-mode
callers, so the correct fix is to establish the proper preemption
context at the virtual-mode caller boundary.
If a vCPU thread is preempted while holding HPTE_V_HVLOCK, any other
thread on the same CPU trying to acquire the same bit-lock can spin
indefinitely. The same applies to lock_rmap() users and to the H_ENTER
path while holding the raw mmu_lock.
Fix this by adding preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pairs around the
two kvmppc_hpte_hv_fault() call sites in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), and
around the kvmppc_pseries_do_hpt_hcall() invocation in
kvmppc_pseries_do_hcall(). Targeting only the HPT hcall helper avoids
wrapping non-HPT hcalls (such as H_RTAS, H_CONFER, H_REGISTER_VPA) that
perform page faults, blocking memory allocations, or context switches.

get_d_signext() has two compounding bugs since its introduction in 2010:
1. The extraction mask 0x8FF silently drops bits 8-10 of the 12-bit D
field (PPC ISA bits 21-23), corrupting any displacement that has any
of those bits set.
2. The sign-magnitude idiom "-(d & 0x7ff)" is wrong for two's-complement:
for D=0xFFC (encoding of -4) it returns -252 instead of -4.
Together these errors produce a wrong effective address for psq_l, psq_lu,
psq_st, and psq_stu whenever the displacement is negative or is a positive
value >= 0x100 with bits 8-10 set — essentially any real-world paired-
single stack-relative access.
The D field occupies the bottom 12 bits of the instruction word (confirmed
by the adjacent W and I extractions via inst_get_field(inst,16,16) and
inst_get_field(inst,17,19)). Replace the open-coded logic with the standard
sign_extend32(inst & 0xfff, 11), which correctly performs two's-complement
sign extension from 12 bits to 32 bits.
