      powerpc/book3s64: Remove __end_handlers marker · 057b6d7e
      Hari Bathini 提交于
      The __end_handlers marker was intended to mark down upto code that gets
      called from exception prologs. But that hasn't kept pace with code
      changes. Case in point, slb_miss_realmode being called from exception
      prolog code but isn't below __end_handlers marker. So, __end_handlers
      marker is as good as a comment but could be misleading at times if it
      isn't in sync with the code, as is the case now. So, let us avoid this
      confusion by having a better comment and removing __end_handlers marker
      altogether.

      powerpc/book3s64: Fix branching to OOL handlers in relocatable kernel · 8ed8ab40
      Hari Bathini 提交于
      Some of the interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER server processors are only
      32 bytes long (8 instructions), which is not enough for the full
      first-level interrupt handler. For these we need to branch to an
      out-of-line (OOL) handler. But when we are running a relocatable kernel,
      interrupt vectors till __end_interrupts marker are copied down to real
      address 0x100. So, branching to labels (ie. OOL handlers) outside this
      section must be handled differently (see LOAD_HANDLER()), considering
      relocatable kernel, which would need at least 4 instructions.
      
      However, branching from interrupt vector means that we corrupt the
      CFAR (come-from address register) on POWER7 and later processors as
      mentioned in commit 1707dd16. So, EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 (6 instructions)
      that contains the part up to the point where the CFAR is saved in the
      PACA should be part of the short interrupt vectors before we branch out
      to OOL handlers.
      
      But as mentioned already, there are interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER
      server processors that are only 32 bytes long (like vectors 0x4f00,
      0x4f20, etc.), which cannot accomodate the above two cases at the same
      time owing to space constraint. Currently, in these interrupt vectors,
      we simply branch out to OOL handlers, without using LOAD_HANDLER(),
      which leaves us vulnerable when running a relocatable kernel (eg. kdump
      case). While this has been the case for sometime now and kdump is used
      widely, we were fortunate not to see any problems so far, for three
      reasons:
      
        1. In almost all cases, production kernel (relocatable) is used for
           kdump as well, which would mean that crashed kernel's OOL handler
           would be at the same place where we end up branching to, from short
           interrupt vector of kdump kernel.
        2. Also, OOL handler was unlikely the reason for crash in almost all
           the kdump scenarios, which meant we had a sane OOL handler from
           crashed kernel that we branched to.
        3. On most 64-bit POWER server processors, page size is large enough
           that marking interrupt vector code as executable (see commit
           429d2e83) leads to marking OOL handler code from crashed kernel,
           that sits right below interrupt vector code from kdump kernel, as
           executable as well.
      
      Let us fix this by moving the __end_interrupts marker down past OOL
      handlers to make sure that we also copy OOL handlers to real address
      0x100 when running a relocatable kernel.
      
      This fix has been tested successfully in kdump scenario, on an LPAR with
      4K page size by using different default/production kernel and kdump
      kernel.
      
      Also tested by manually corrupting the OOL handlers in the first kernel
      and then kdump'ing, and then causing the OOL handlers to fire - mpe.

      powerpc/livepatch: Add live patching support on ppc64le · 85baa095
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      Add the kconfig logic & assembly support for handling live patched
      functions. This depends on DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS, which in turn
      depends on the new -mprofile-kernel ftrace ABI, which is only supported
      currently on ppc64le.
      
      Live patching is handled by a special ftrace handler. This means it runs
      from ftrace_caller(). The live patch handler modifies the NIP so as to
      redirect the return from ftrace_caller() to the new patched function.
      
      However there is one particularly tricky case we need to handle.
      
      If a function A calls another function B, and it is known at link time
      that they share the same TOC, then A will not save or restore its TOC,
      and will call the local entry point of B.
      
      When we live patch B, we replace it with a new function C, which may
      not have the same TOC as A. At live patch time it's too late to modify A
      to do the TOC save/restore, so the live patching code must interpose
      itself between A and C, and do the TOC save/restore that A omitted.
      
      An additionaly complication is that the livepatch code can not create a
      stack frame in order to save the TOC. That is because if C takes > 8
      arguments, or is varargs, A will have written the arguments for C in
      A's stack frame.
      
      To solve this, we introduce a "livepatch stack" which grows upward from
      the base of the regular stack, and is used to store the TOC & LR when
      calling a live patched function.
      
      When the patched function returns, we retrieve the real LR & TOC from
      the livepatch stack, restore them, and pop the livepatch "stack frame".

      powerpc/livepatch: Add livepatch stack to struct thread_info · 5d31a96e
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      In order to support live patching we need to maintain an alternate
      stack of TOC & LR values. We use the base of the stack for this, and
      store the "live patch stack pointer" in struct thread_info.
      
      Unlike the other fields of thread_info, we can not statically initialise
      that value, so it must be done at run time.
      
      This patch just adds the code to support that, it is not enabled until
      the next patch which actually adds live patch support.

      livepatch: Allow architectures to specify an alternate ftrace location · 28e7cbd3
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      When livepatch tries to patch a function it takes the function address
      and asks ftrace to install the livepatch handler at that location.
      ftrace will look for an mcount call site at that exact address.
      
      On powerpc the mcount location is not the first instruction of the
      function, and in fact it's not at a constant offset from the start of
      the function. To accommodate this add a hook which arch code can
      override to customise the behaviour.

       "Here is a set of four GPIO fixes.  The two fixes to the core are

        Core fixes:
      
         - Defer GPIO device setup until after gpiolib is initialized.
      
           It turns out that a few very tightly integrated GPIO platform
           drivers initialize so early (befor core_initcall()) so that the
           gpiolib isn't even initialized itself.  That limits what the
           library can do, and we cannot reference uninitialized fields until
           later.
      
           Defer some of the initialization until right after the gpiolib is
           initialized in these (rare) cases.
      
         - As a consequence: do not use devm_* resources when allocating the
           states in the initial set-up of the gpiochip.
      
        Driver fixes:
      
         - In ACPI retrieveal: ignore GpioInt when looking for output GPIOs.
