We recently discovered some of our mitigation patching was not safe
against other CPUs running concurrently.
Add a test which enable/disables all mitigations in a tight loop while
also running some stress load. On an unpatched system this almost always
leads to an oops and panic/reboot, but we also check if the kernel
becomes tainted in case we have a non-fatal oops.

Also based on the RFI and entry flush tests, it counts the L1D misses
by doing a syscall that does user access: uname, in this case.

The rfi_flush and entry_flush selftests work by using the PM_LD_MISS_L1
perf event to count L1D misses. The value of this event has changed
over time:
- Power7 uses 0x400f0
- Power8 and Power9 use both 0x400f0 and 0x3e054
- Power10 uses only 0x3e054
Rather than relying on raw values, configure perf to count L1D read
misses in the most explicit way available.
This fixes the selftests to work on systems without 0x400f0 as
PM_LD_MISS_L1, and should change no behaviour for systems that the tests
already worked on.
The only potential downside is that referring to a specific perf event
requires PMU support implemented in the kernel for that platform.

Add a test modelled on the RFI flush test which counts the number

We are about to add an entry flush. The rfi (exit) flush test measures
the number of L1D flushes over a syscall with the RFI flush enabled and
disabled. But if the entry flush is also enabled, the effect of enabling
and disabling the RFI flush is masked.
If there is a debugfs entry for the entry flush, disable it during the RFI
flush and restore it later.

This version of set_dscr() was added for the RFI flush test, and is

When running under older versions of qemu of under newer versions with
old machine types, some security features will not be reported to the
guest. This will lead the guest OS to consider itself Vulnerable to
spectre_v2.
So, spectre_v2 test fails in such cases when the host is mitigated and
miss predictions cannot be detected as expected by the test.
Make it return the skip code instead, for this particular case. We
don't want to miss the case when the test fails and the system reports
as mitigated or not affected. But it is not a problem to miss failures
when the system reports as Vulnerable.

This test uses the PMU to count branch prediction hits/misses for a
known loop, and compare the result to the reported spectre v2
mitigation.
This gives us a way of sanity checking that the reported mitigation is
actually in effect.

Power9:

When running the rfi_flush test, if the system is loaded, we see two
issues:
1. The L1d misses when rfi_flush is disabled increase significantly due
to other workloads interfering with the cache.
2. The L1d misses when rfi_flush is enabled sometimes goes slightly
below the expected number of misses.
To address these, let's relax the expected number of L1d misses:
1. When rfi_flush is disabled, we allow upto half the expected number of
the misses for when rfi_flush is enabled.
2. When rfi_flush is enabled, we allow ~1% lower number of cache misses.

This adds a test to verify proper functioning of the rfi flush
capability implemented to mitigate meltdown. The test works by
measuring the number of L1d cache misses encountered while loading
data from memory. Across a system call, since the L1d cache is flushed
when rfi_flush is enabled, the number of cache misses is expected to
be relative to the number of cachelines corresponding to the data
being loaded.
The current system setting is reflected via powerpc/rfi_flush under
debugfs (assumed to be /sys/kernel/debug/). This test verifies the
expected result with rfi_flush enabled as well as when it is disabled.
