Subject: [PATCH 4.9 44/61] powerpc/pseries: Restore default security feature flags on setup
Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2018 19:02:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180605170120.487069044@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180605170117.643936916@linuxfoundation.org>
4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <mauricfo@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
commit 6232774f1599028a15418179d17f7df47ede770a upstream.
After migration the security feature flags might have changed (e.g.,
destination system with unpatched firmware), but some flags are not
set/clear again in init_cpu_char_feature_flags() because it assumes
the security flags to be the defaults.
Additionally, if the H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS hypercall fails then
init_cpu_char_feature_flags() does not run again, which potentially
might leave the system in an insecure or sub-optimal configuration.
So, just restore the security feature flags to the defaults assumed
by init_cpu_char_feature_flags() so it can set/clear them correctly,
and to ensure safe settings are in place in case the hypercall fail.
Fixes: f636c14790ea ("powerpc/pseries: Set or clear security feature flags")
Depends-on: 19887d6a28e2 ("powerpc: Move default security feature flags")
