CVE-2024-26745 powerpc/pseries/iommu: IOMMU table is not initialized for kdump over SR-IOV
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

powerpc/pseries/iommu: IOMMU table is not initialized for kdump over SR-IOV

When kdump kernel tries to copy dump data over SR-IOV, LPAR panics due
to NULL pointer exception:

  Kernel attempted to read user page (0) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)

At the time of LPAR dump, before kexec hands over control to kdump
kernel, DDWs (Dynamic DMA Windows) are scanned and added to the FDT.
For the SR-IOV case, default DMA window "ibm,dma-window" is removed from
the FDT and DDW added, for the device.

Now, kexec hands over control to the kdump kernel.

When the kdump kernel initializes, PCI busses are scanned and IOMMU
group/tables created, in pci_dma_bus_setup_pSeriesLP(). For the SR-IOV
case, there is no "ibm,dma-window". The original commit: b1fc44eaa9ba,
fixes the path where memory is pre-mapped (direct mapped) to the DDW.
When TCEs are direct mapped, there is no need to initialize IOMMU
tables.

iommu_table_setparms_lpar() only considers "ibm,dma-window" property
when initiallizing IOMMU table. In the scenario where TCEs are
dynamically allocated for SR-IOV, newly created IOMMU table is not
initialized. Later, when the device driver tries to enter TCEs for the
SR-IOV device, NULL pointer execption is thrown from iommu_area_alloc().

The fix is to initialize the IOMMU table with DDW property stored in the
FDT. There are 2 points to remember:

	1. For the dedicated adapter, kdump kernel would encounter both
	   default and DDW in FDT. In this case, DDW property is used to
	   initialize the IOMMU table.

	2. A DDW could be direct or dynamic mapped. kdump kernel would
	   initialize IOMMU table and mark the existing DDW as
	   "dynamic". This works fine since, at the time of table
	   initialization, iommu_table_clear() makes some space in the
	   DDW, for some predefined number of TCEs which are needed for
	   kdump to succeed.
