      powerpc/powernv: Return to cpu offline loop when finished in KVM guest · 56548fc0
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      When a secondary hardware thread has finished running a KVM guest, we
      currently put that thread into nap mode using a nap instruction in
      the KVM code.  This changes the code so that instead of doing a nap
      instruction directly, we instead cause the call to power7_nap() that
      put the thread into nap mode to return.  The reason for doing this is
      to avoid having the KVM code having to know what low-power mode to
      put the thread into.
      
      In the case of a secondary thread used to run a KVM guest, the thread
      will be offline from the point of view of the host kernel, and the
      relevant power7_nap() call is the one in pnv_smp_cpu_disable().
      In this case we don't want to clear pending IPIs in the offline loop
      in that function, since that might cause us to miss the wakeup for
      the next time the thread needs to run a guest.  To tell whether or
      not to clear the interrupt, we use the SRR1 value returned from
      power7_nap(), and check if it indicates an external interrupt.  We
      arrange that the return from power7_nap() when we have finished running
      a guest returns 0, so pending interrupts don't get flushed in that
      case.
      
      Note that it is important a secondary thread that has finished
      executing in the guest, or that didn't have a guest to run, should
      not return to power7_nap's caller while the kvm_hstate.hwthread_req
      flag in the PACA is non-zero, because the return from power7_nap
      will reenable the MMU, and the MMU might still be in guest context.
      In this situation we spin at low priority in real mode waiting for
      hwthread_req to become zero.

      powerpc/book3s: Fix partial invalidation of TLBs in MCE code. · 682e77c8
      Mahesh Salgaonkar 提交于
      The existing MCE code calls flush_tlb hook with IS=0 (single page) resulting
      in partial invalidation of TLBs which is not right. This patch fixes
      that by passing IS=0xc00 to invalidate whole TLB for successful recovery
      from TLB and ERAT errors.

      powerpc/mm: don't do tlbie for updatepp request with NO HPTE fault · aefa5688
      Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于
      upatepp can get called for a nohpte fault when we find from the linux
      page table that the translation was hashed before. In that case
      we are sure that there is no existing translation, hence we could
      avoid doing tlbie.
      
      We could possibly race with a parallel fault filling the TLB. But
      that should be ok because updatepp is only ever relaxing permissions.
      We also look at linux pte permission bits when filling hash pte
      permission bits. We also hold the linux pte busy bits while
      inserting/updating a hashpte entry, hence a paralle update of
      linux pte is not possible. On the other hand mprotect involves
      ptep_modify_prot_start which cause a hpte invalidate and not updatepp.

      powerpc: Remove more traces of bootmem · e39f223f
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      Although we are now selecting NO_BOOTMEM, we still have some traces of
      bootmem lying around. That is because even with NO_BOOTMEM there is
      still a shim that converts bootmem calls into memblock calls, but
      ultimately we want to remove all traces of bootmem.
      
      Most of the patch is conversions from alloc_bootmem() to
      memblock_virt_alloc(). In general a call such as:
      
        p = (struct foo *)alloc_bootmem(x);
      
      Becomes:
      
        p = memblock_virt_alloc(x, 0);
      
      We don't need the cast because memblock_virt_alloc() returns a void *.
      The alignment value of zero tells memblock to use the default alignment,
      which is SMP_CACHE_BYTES, the same value alloc_bootmem() uses.
      
      We remove a number of NULL checks on the result of
      memblock_virt_alloc(). That is because memblock_virt_alloc() will panic
      if it can't allocate, in exactly the same way as alloc_bootmem(), so the
      NULL checks are and always have been redundant.
      
      The memory returned by memblock_virt_alloc() is already zeroed, so we
      remove several memsets of the result of memblock_virt_alloc().
      
      Finally we convert a few uses of __alloc_bootmem(x, y, MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)
      to just plain memblock_virt_alloc(). We don't use memblock_alloc_base()
      because MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is ~0ul on powerpc, so limiting the allocation
      to that is pointless, 16XB ought to be enough for anyone.

      powerpc/pseries: Initialise nvram_pstore_info's buf_lock · a49ab6ee
      Li Zhong 提交于
      nvram_pstore_info's buf_lock is not initialized before registering,
      which is clearly incorrect.
      
      It causes some strange behavior when trying to obtain the lock during
      kdump process.
      
      On a UP configuration, the console stopped for a couple of seconds, then
      "lockup suspected" warning printed out, but then it continued to run.
      
      So try lock fails, and lockup reported, but then arch_spin_lock()
      passes.

      rtc/tpo: Driver to support rtc and wakeup on PowerNV platform · 16b1d26e
      Neelesh Gupta 提交于
      The patch implements the OPAL rtc driver that binds with the rtc
      driver subsystem. The driver uses the platform device infrastructure
      to probe the rtc device and register it to rtc class framework. The
      'wakeup' is supported depending upon the property 'has-tpo' present
      in the OF node. It provides a way to load the generic rtc driver in
      in the absence of an OPAL driver.
      
      The patch also moves the existing OPAL rtc get/set time interfaces to the
      new driver and exposes the necessary OPAL calls using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

      powerpc: Use generic PIE randomization · 59994fb0
      Vineeth Vijayan 提交于
      Back in 2009 we merged 501cb16d "Randomise PIEs", which added support for
      randomizing PIE (Position Independent Executable) binaries.
      
      That commit added randomize_et_dyn(), which correctly randomized the addresses,
      but failed to honor PF_RANDOMIZE. That means it was not possible to disable PIE
      randomization via the personality flag, or /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space.
      
      Since then there has been generic support for PIE randomization added to
      binfmt_elf.c, selectable via ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE.
      
      Enabling that allows us to drop randomize_et_dyn(), which means we start
      honoring PF_RANDOMIZE correctly.
      
      It also causes a fairly major change to how we layout PIE binaries.
      
      Currently we will place the binary at 512MB-520MB for 32 bit binaries, or
      512MB-1.5GB for 64 bit binaries, eg:
      
          $ cat /proc/$$/maps

      With this commit applied we don't do any special randomisation for the binary,
      and instead rely on mmap randomisation. This means the binary ends up at high
      addresses, eg:
      
          $ cat /proc/$$/maps
          3fff99820000-3fff999d0000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 921    /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so

          3fff99a00000-3fff99a20000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0      [vdso]

          3fff99a60000-3fff99a90000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 129813 /bin/dash
          3fff99a90000-3fff99aa0000 rw-p 00020000 08:02 129813 /bin/dash

          3fffc55e0000-3fffc5610000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0      [heap]
      
      Although this should be OK, it's possible it might break badly written
      binaries that make assumptions about the address space layout.
