Subject[PATCH 4.9 119/223] powerpc/watchpoint: Restore NV GPRs while returning from exception
Date
From: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com>

commit f474c28fbcbe42faca4eb415172c07d76adcb819 upstream.

powerpc hardware triggers watchpoint before executing the instruction.
To make trigger-after-execute behavior, kernel emulates the
instruction. If the instruction is 'load something into non-volatile
register', exception handler should restore emulated register state
while returning back, otherwise there will be register state
corruption. eg, adding a watchpoint on a list can corrput the list:

# cat /proc/kallsyms | grep kthread_create_list
c00000000121c8b8 d kthread_create_list

Add watchpoint on kthread_create_list->prev:

# perf record -e mem:0xc00000000121c8c0

Run some workload such that new kthread gets invoked. eg, I just
logged out from console:

list_add corruption. next->prev should be prev (c000000001214e00), \
but was c00000000121c8b8. (next=c00000000121c8b8).

List corruption happened because it uses 'load into non-volatile
register' instruction:

Watchpoint hit at 0xc000000000136bec.

addis r29,r2,-19
=> r29 = 0xc000000001344e00 + (-19 << 16)
=> r29 = 0xc000000001214e00

ld r29,31424(r29)
=> r29 = *(0xc000000001214e00 + 31424)
=> r29 = *(0xc00000000121c8c0)

0xc00000000121c8c0 is where we placed a watchpoint and thus this
instruction was emulated by emulate_step. But because handle_dabr_fault
did not restore emulated register state, r29 still contains stale
value in above register state.
