Michael Neuling 415043c3ec powerpc: Fix undetected data corruption with P9N DD2.1 VSX CI load emulation
commit 1da4a0272c5469169f78cd76cf175ff984f52f06 upstream.

__get_user_atomic_128_aligned() stores to kaddr using stvx which is a
VMX store instruction, hence kaddr must be 16 byte aligned otherwise
the store won't occur as expected.

Unfortunately when we call __get_user_atomic_128_aligned() in
p9_hmi_special_emu(), the buffer we pass as kaddr (ie. vbuf) isn't
guaranteed to be 16B aligned. This means that the write to vbuf in
__get_user_atomic_128_aligned() has the bottom bits of the address
truncated. This results in other local variables being
overwritten. Also vbuf will not contain the correct data which results
in the userspace emulation being wrong and hence undetected user data
corruption.

In the past we've been mostly lucky as vbuf has ended up aligned but
this is fragile and isn't always true. CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR in
particular can change the stack arrangement enough that our luck runs
out.

This issue only occurs on POWER9 Nimbus <= DD2.1 bare metal.

The fix is to align vbuf to a 16 byte boundary.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
