[PATCH 1/2] Revert "powerpc: Remove unused FW_FEATURE_NATIVE references"

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Date: 2022-08-23 12:00:41

This reverts commit 79b74a68486765a4fe685ac4069bc71366c538f5.

It broke booting on IBM Cell machines when the kernel is also built with
CONFIG_PPC_PS3=y.

That's because FW_FEATURE_NATIVE_ALWAYS = 0 does have an important
effect, which is to clear the PS3 ALWAYS features from
FW_FEATURE_ALWAYS.

Note that CONFIG_PPC_NATIVE has since been renamed
CONFIG_PPC_HASH_MMU_NATIVE.

[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/rtas: Fix RTAS MSR[HV] handling for Cell

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Date: 2022-08-23 12:01:13

The semi-recent changes to MSR handling when entering RTAS (firmware)
cause crashes on IBM Cell machines. An example trace:

  kernel tried to execute user page (2fff01a8) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
  BUG: Unable to handle kernel instruction fetch

Unlike PAPR platforms where RTAS is only used in guests, on the IBM Cell
machines Linux runs with MSR[HV] set but also uses RTAS, provided by
SLOF.

Fix it by copying the MSR[HV] bit from the MSR value we've just read
using mfmsr into the value used for RTAS.

It seems like we could also fix it using an #ifdef CELL to set MSR[HV],
but that doesn't work because it's possible to build a single kernel
image that runs on both Cell native and pseries.

Some folks are very comfortable with rldicl and probably prefer the
former, but I'm not sure there's many of those people around anymore :)

I think the extrdi is a bit more readable.

You could use MSR_TS_T_LG to avoid the - 1? All those uses have a
comment about it being 2 bits already.
