We were using CR0.EQ after EXCEPTION_COMMON, hoping it still contained whether we came from userspace or kernel space. However, under some circumstances, EXCEPTION_COMMON will call C code and clobber non-volatile registers, so we really need to re-load the previous MSR from the stackframe and re-test. While there, invert the condition to make the fast path more obvious and remove the BUG_OPCODE which was a debugging leftover and call .ret_from_except as we should.

When running under a hypervisor that supports stolen time accounting, we may call C code from the macro EXCEPTION_PROLOG_COMMON in the exception entry path, which clobbers CR0. However, the FPU and vector traps rely on CR0 indicating whether we are coming from userspace or kernel to decide what to do. So we need to restore that value after the C call Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Other architectures such as x86 and ARM have been growing new support for features like retrying page faults after dropping the mm semaphore to break contention, or being able to return from a stuck page fault when a SIGKILL is pending. This refactors our implementation of do_page_fault() to move the error handling out of line in a way similar to x86 and adds support for those two features.

If we get a floating point, altivec or vsx unavaible interrupt in kernel, we trigger a kernel error. There is no point preserving the interrupt state, in fact, that can even make debugging harder as the processor state might change (we may even preempt) between taking the exception and landing in a debugger. So just make those 3 disable interrupts unconditionally. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> --- v2: On BookE only disable when hitting the kernel unavailable path, otherwise it will fail to restore softe as fast_exception_return doesn't do it.

We currently turn interrupts back to their previous state before calling do_page_fault(). This can be annoying when debugging as a bad fault will potentially have lost some processor state before getting into the debugger. We also end up calling some generic code with interrupts enabled such as notify_page_fault() with interrupts enabled, which could be unexpected. This changes our code to behave more like other architectures, and make the assembly entry code call into do_page_faults() with interrupts disabled. They are conditionally re-enabled from within do_page_fault() in the same spot x86 does it. While there, add the might_sleep() test in the case of a successful trylock of the mmap semaphore, again like x86. Also fix a bug in the existing assembly where r12 (_MSR) could get clobbered by C calls (the DTL accounting in the exception common macro and DISABLE_INTS) in some cases.

Some exceptions would unconditionally disable interrupts on entry, which is fine, but calling lockdep every time not only adds more overhead than strictly needed, but also means we get quite a few "redudant" disable logged, which makes it hard to spot the really bad ones. So instead, split the macro used by the exception code into a normal one and a separate one used when CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is enabled, and make the later skip th tracing if interrupts were already disabled.

We unconditionally hard enable interrupts. This is unnecessary as syscalls are expected to always be called with interrupts enabled. While at it, we add a WARN_ON if that is not the case and CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is enabled (we don't want to add overhead to the fast path when this is not set though). Thus let's remove the enabling (and associated irq tracing) from the syscall entry path. Also on Book3S, replace a few mfmsr instructions with loads of PACAMSR from the PACA, which should be faster & schedule better. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This moves the inlines into system.h and changes the runlatch code to use the thread local flags (non-atomic) rather than the TIF flags (atomic) to keep track of the latch state.

由 Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
The perfmon interrupt is the sole user of a special variant of the interrupt prolog which differs from the one used by external and timer interrupts in that it saves the non-volatile GPRs and doesn't turn the runlatch on. The former is unnecessary and the later is arguably incorrect, so let's clean that up by using the same prolog. While at it we rename that prolog to use the _ASYNC prefix.

All IRQs on powerpc are managed via irq_domain anyway, there isn't really any advantage to turning SPARSE_IRQ off, and it's the direction we want to take the kernel design anyway. This patch makes powerpc always use SPARSE_IRQ. On pseries_defconfig, SPARSE_IRQ adds only about 0x300 bytes to the .text sections, and removes about 0x20000 from the data section for the static irq_desc table.

As described in e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block is pending in the shared queue. Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0 ("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked") which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate code across architectures. In the past some architectures got this code wrong, so using this helper function should stop that from happening again.

There is a race where a thread causes a coprocessor type to be valid in its own ACOP _and_ in the current context, but it does not propagate to the ACOP register of other threads in time for them to use it. The original code tries to solve this by sending an IPI to all threads on the system, which is heavy handed, but unfortunately still provides a window where the icswx is issued by other threads and the ACOP is not up to date. This patch detects that the ACOP DSI fault was a "false positive" and syncs the ACOP and causes the icswx to be replayed.

When the system is under heavy load, we occasionally saw a problem where the system would get a legitimate interrupt when they should be disabled. This was caused by the data_dma_cb() DMA callback unconditionally re-enabling FPGA interrupts even when data dumping is disabled. When data dumping was re-enabled, the irq handler would fire while a DMA was in progress. The "BUG_ON(priv->inflight != NULL);" during the second invocation of the DMA callback caused the system to crash. To fix the issue, the priv->enabled boolean is moved under the protection of the priv->lock spinlock. The DMA callback checks the boolean to know whether to re-enable FPGA interrupts before it returns. Now that it is fixed, the driver keeps FPGA interrupts disabled when it expects that they are disabled, fixing the bug. Signed-off-by: NIra W.

In particular, if you add 255 VFs to a network device, parts of GLIBC stop working. To fix this, we add an attribute that is used to turn on these extended portions of the network device dump. Sophisticaed applications like 'ip' that want to see this stuff will be changed to set the attribute, whereas things like GLIBC that don't care about VFs simply will not, and therefore won't be busted by the mere presence of VFs on a network device.

Instead of adding random #ifdef'fery in autofs, let's just make the compat helpers earlier to use: without CONFIG_COMPAT, is_compat_task() just hardcodes to zero.

When the autofs protocol version 5 packet type was added in commit 5c0a32fc ("autofs4: add new packet type for v5 communications"), it obvously tried quite hard to be word-size agnostic, and uses explicitly sized fields that are all correctly aligned. However, with the final "char name[NAME_MAX+1]" array at the end, the actual size of the structure ends up being not very well defined: because the struct isn't marked 'packed', doing a "sizeof()" on it will align the size of the struct up to the biggest alignment of the members it has. And despite all the members being the same, the alignment of them is different: a "__u64" has 4-byte alignment on x86-32, but native 8-byte alignment on x86-64. And while 'NAME_MAX+1' ends up being a nice round number (256), the name[] array starts out a 4-byte aligned. End result: the "packed" size of the structure is 300 bytes: 4-byte, but not 8-byte aligned. As a result, despite all the fields being in the same place on all architectures, sizeof() will round up that size to 304 bytes on architectures that have 8-byte alignment for u64. Note that this is *not* a problem for 32-bit compat mode on POWER, since there __u64 is 8-byte aligned even in 32-bit mode. But on x86, 32-bit and 64-bit alignment is different for 64-bit entities, and as a result the structure that has exactly the same layout has different sizes. So on x86-64, but no other architecture, we will just subtract 4 from the size of the structure when running in a compat task. That way we will write the properly sized packet that user mode expects. Not pretty. Sadly, this very subtle, and unnecessary, size difference has been encoded in user space that wants to read packets of *exactly* the right size, and will refuse to touch anything else.
