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>

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.

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. The code to turn it back on in an asynchronous interrupt is now simplified and partially inlined. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

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.

This patch introduces an sysfs interface '/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem' to invalidate the last fadump registration, invalidate '/proc/vmcore', release the reserved memory for general use and re-register for future kernel dump. Once the dump is copied to the disk, unlike phyp dump, the userspace tool can release all the memory reserved for dump with one single operation of echo 1 to '/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem'. Release the reserved memory region excluding the size of the memory required for future kernel dump registration. And therefore, unlike kdump, Fadump doesn't need a 2nd reboot to get back the system to the production configuration.

When registered for firmware assisted dump on powerpc, firmware preserves the registers for the active CPUs during a system crash. This patch reads the cpu register data stored in Firmware-assisted dump format (except for crashing cpu) and converts it into elf notes and updates the PT_NOTE program header accordingly. The exact register state for crashing cpu is saved to fadump crash info structure in scratch area during crash_fadump() and read during second kernel boot.

Build the crash memory range list by traversing through system memory during the first kernel before we register for firmware-assisted dump. After the successful dump registration, initialize the elfcore header and populate PT_LOAD program headers with crash memory ranges. The elfcore header is saved in the scratch area within the reserved memory. The scratch area starts at the end of the memory reserved for saving RMR region contents. The scratch area contains fadump crash info structure that contains magic number for fadump validation and physical address where the eflcore header can be found. This structure will also be used to pass some important crash info data to the second kernel which will help second kernel to populate ELF core header with correct data before it gets exported through /proc/vmcore. Since the firmware preserves the entire partition memory at the time of crash the contents of the scratch area will be preserved till second kernel boot. Since the memory dump exported through /proc/vmcore is in ELF format similar to kdump, it will help us to reuse the kdump infrastructure for dump capture and filtering. Unlike phyp dump, userspace tool does not need to refer any sysfs interface while reading /proc/vmcore. NOTE: The current design implementation does not address a possibility of introducing additional fields (in future) to this structure without affecting compatibility. It's on TODO list to come up with better approach to address this.

Reserve the memory during early boot to preserve CPU state data, HPTE region and RMA (real mode area) region data in case of kernel crash. At the time of crash, powerpc firmware will store CPU state data, HPTE region data and move RMA region data to the reserved memory area. If the firmware-assisted dump fails to reserve the memory, then fallback to existing kexec-based kdump. Most of the code implementation to reserve memory has been adapted from phyp assisted dump implementation written by Linas Vepstas and Manish Ahuja This patch also introduces a config option CONFIG_FA_DUMP for firmware assisted dump feature on Powerpc (ppc64) architecture.

There are two separate flags controlling whether or not the MPIC is reset during initialization, which is completely unnecessary, and only one of them can be specified in the device tree. Also, most platforms in-tree right now do actually want to reset the MPIC during initialization anyways, which means lots of duplicate code passing the MPIC_WANTS_RESET flag. Fix all of the callers which currently do not pass the MPIC_WANTS_RESET flag to pass the MPIC_NO_RESET flag, then remove the MPIC_WANTS_RESET flag and make the code reset the MPIC by default.

The mpic->irq_count variable is only used as a software error-checking limit to determine whether or not an IRQ number is valid. In board code which does not manually specify an IRQ count to mpic_alloc(), i.e. 0, it is automatically detected from the number of ISUs and the ISU size. In practice, all hardware ends up with irq_count == num_sources, so all of the runtime checks on mpic->irq_count should just check the value of mpic->num_sources instead. When platform hardware does not correctly report the number of IRQs, which only happens on the MPC85xx/MPC86xx, the MPIC_BROKEN_FRR_NIRQS flag is used to override the detected value of num_sources with the manual irq_count parameter. Since there's no need to manually specify the number of IRQs except in this case, the extra flag can be eliminated and the test changed to "irq_count != 0".

The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was. Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating success or failure. This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall. The fix is to fix the layering foolishness. We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to determine if the syscall was a success or failure. We also define a generic is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the value is < -MAX_ERRNO. This works for arches like x86 which do not use a separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure. We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines instead of macros. The reason is because the audit function must take a void* for the regs. (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs). Since the audit function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the arch correct structure to dereference it. The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure. THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs. In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old audit code as the return value. But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro regs_return_value() as regs[3]. I have no idea which one is correct, but this patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3]. For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3]. regs->gprs[3] is always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative before calling the audit code when appropriate.

This patch converts PowerPC's architecture-specific 'pcibios_set_master()' routine to a non-inlined function. This will allow follow on patches to create a generic 'pcibios_set_master()' function using the '__weak' attribute which can be used by all architectures as a default which, if necessary, can then be over- ridden by architecture-specific code. Converting 'pci_bios_set_master()' to a non-inlined function will allow PowerPC's 'pcibios_set_master()' implementation to remain architecture-specific after the generic version is introduced and thus, not change current behavior.

We find the runtime address of _stext and relocate ourselves based on the following calculation. virtual_base = ALIGN(KERNELBASE,KERNEL_TLB_PIN_SIZE) + MODULO(_stext.run,KERNEL_TLB_PIN_SIZE) relocate() is called with the Effective Virtual Base Address (as shown below) | Phys.

Base Addr | | | | | | | | | |reloc_offset| | | | | | | | | | |______v_____|<-(KERNELBASE)%TLB_SIZE | | | | | | | | | Page |-----------|------------| Boundary | | | On BookE, we need __va() & __pa() early in the boot process to access the device tree. Currently this has been defined as : #define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) - PHYSICAL_START + KERNELBASE) where: PHYSICAL_START is kernstart_addr - a variable updated at runtime. KERNELBASE is the compile time Virtual base address of kernel. This won't work for us, as kernstart_addr is dynamic and will yield different results for __va()/__pa() for same mapping. e.g., Let the kernel be loaded at 64MB and KERNELBASE be 0xc0000000 (same as PAGE_OFFSET). In this case, we would be mapping 0 to 0xc0000000, and kernstart_addr = 64M Now __va(1MB) = (0x100000) - (0x4000000) + 0xc0000000 = 0xbc100000 , which is wrong. it should be : 0xc0000000 + 0x100000 = 0xc0100000 On platforms which support AMP, like PPC_47x (based on 44x), the kernel could be loaded at highmem. Hence we cannot always depend on the compile time constants for mapping. Here are the possible solutions: 1) Update kernstart_addr(PHSYICAL_START) to match the Physical address of compile time KERNELBASE value, instead of the actual Physical_Address(_stext). The disadvantage is that we may break other users of PHYSICAL_START. They could be replaced with __pa(_stext). 2) Redefine __va() & __pa() with relocation offset #ifdef CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_PPC32 #define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) - PHYSICAL_START + (KERNELBASE + RELOC_OFFSET))) #define __pa(x) ((unsigned long)(x) + PHYSICAL_START - (KERNELBASE + RELOC_OFFSET)) #endif where, RELOC_OFFSET could be a) A variable, say relocation_offset (like kernstart_addr), updated at boot time. This impacts performance, as we have to load an additional variable from memory. OR b) #define RELOC_OFFSET ((PHYSICAL_START & PPC_PIN_SIZE_OFFSET_MASK) - \ (KERNELBASE & PPC_PIN_SIZE_OFFSET_MASK)) This introduces more calculations for doing the translation. 3) Redefine __va() & __pa() with a new variable i.e, #define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) + VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET)) where VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET : #ifdef CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_PPC32 #define VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET virt_phys_offset #else #define VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET (KERNELBASE - PHYSICAL_START) #endif /* CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_PPC32 */ where virt_phy_offset is updated at runtime to : Effective KERNELBASE - kernstart_addr. Taking our example, above: virt_phys_offset = effective_kernelstart_vaddr - kernstart_addr = 0xc0400000 - 0x400000 = 0xc0000000 and __va(0x100000) = 0xc0000000 + 0x100000 = 0xc0100000 which is what we want. I have implemented (3) in the following patch which has same cost of operation as the existing one. I have tested the patches on 440x platforms only. However this should work fine for PPC_47x also, as we only depend on the runtime address and the current TLB XLAT entry for the startup code, which is available in r25. I don't have access to a 47x board yet. So, it would be great if somebody could test this on 47x. Signed-off-by: NSuzuki K.

The current implementation of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE in BookE is based on mapping the page aligned kernel load address to KERNELBASE. This approach however is not enough for platforms, where the TLB page size is large (e.g, 256M on 44x). So we are renaming the RELOCATABLE used currently in BookE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART to reflect the actual method. The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for PPC32(BookE) based on processing of the dynamic relocations will be introduced in the later in the patch series. This change would allow the use of the old method of RELOCATABLE for platforms which can afford to enforce the page alignment (platforms with smaller TLB size).

On POWER7 unaligned stores rarely slow down - they only flush when a store crosses a 4KB page boundary. Furthermore this flush is handled completely in hardware and should be 20-30 cycles. Unaligned loads on the other hand flush much more often - whenever crossing a 128 byte cache line, or a 32 byte sector if either sector is an L1 miss. Considering this information we really want to get the loads aligned and not worry about the alignment of the stores. Microbenchmarks confirm that this approach is much faster than the current unaligned copy loop that uses shifts and rotates to ensure both loads and stores are aligned. We also want to try and do the stores in cacheline aligned, cacheline sized chunks. If the store queue is unable to merge an entire cacheline of stores then the L2 cache will have to do a read/modify/write. Even worse, we will serialise this with the stores in the next iteration of the copy loop since both iterations hit the same cacheline. Based on this, the new loop does the following things: 1 - 127 bytes Get the source 8 byte aligned and use 8 byte loads and stores. Pretty boring and similar to how the current loop works. 128 - 4095 bytes Get the source 8 byte aligned and use 8 byte loads and stores, 1 cacheline at a time. We aren't doing the stores in cacheline aligned chunks so we will potentially serialise once per cacheline. Even so it is much better than the loop we have today. 4096 - bytes If both source and destination have the same alignment get them both 16 byte aligned, then get the destination cacheline aligned. Do cacheline sized loads and stores using VMX. If source and destination do not have the same alignment, we get the destination cacheline aligned, and use permute to do aligned loads. In both cases the VMX loop should be optimal - we always do aligned loads and stores and are always doing stores in cacheline aligned, cacheline sized chunks. To be able to use VMX we must be careful about interrupts and sleeping. We don't use the VMX loop when in an interrupt (which should be rare anyway) and we wrap the VMX loop in disable/enable_pagefault and fall back to the existing copy_tofrom_user loop if we do need to sleep. The VMX breakpoint of 4096 bytes was chosen using this microbenchmark: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/copy_to_user.c Since we are using VMX and there is a cost to saving and restoring the user VMX state there are two broad cases we need to benchmark: - Best case - userspace never uses VMX - Worst case - userspace always uses VMX In reality a userspace process will sit somewhere between these two extremes. Since we need to test both aligned and unaligned copies we end up with 4 combinations. The point at which the VMX loop begins to win is: 0% VMX aligned 2048 bytes unaligned 2048 bytes 100% VMX aligned 16384 bytes unaligned 8192 bytes Considering this is a microbenchmark, the data is hot in cache and the VMX loop has better store queue merging properties we set the breakpoint to 4096 bytes, a little below the unaligned breakpoints. Some future optimisations we can look at: - Looking at the perf data, a significant part of the cost when a task is always using VMX is the extra exception we take to restore the VMX state. As such we should do something similar to the x86 optimisation that restores FPU state for heavy users. ie: /* * If the task has used fpu the last 5 timeslices, just do a full * restore of the math state immediately to avoid the trap; the * chances of needing FPU soon are obviously high now */ preload_fpu = tsk_used_math(next_p) && next_p->fpu_counter > 5; and /* * fpu_counter contains the number of consecutive context switches * that the FPU is used. If this is over a threshold, the lazy fpu * saving becomes unlazy to save the trap. This is an unsigned char * so that after 256 times the counter wraps and the behavior turns * lazy again; this to deal with bursty apps that only use FPU for * a short time */ - We could create a paca bit to mirror the VMX enabled MSR bit and check that first, avoiding multiple calls to calling enable_kernel_altivec. That should help with iovec based system calls like readv. - We could have two VMX breakpoints, one for when we know the user VMX state is loaded into the registers and one when it isn't. This could be a second bit in the paca so we can calculate the break points quickly. - One suggestion from Ben was to save and restore the VSX registers we use inline instead of using enable_kernel_altivec.

24aa0788 (memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_reserve/free_range() with generic ones) removed arch/x86/include/asm/memblock.h and dropped its inclusion from include/linux/memblock.h which breaks other architectures which depended on the generic memblock.h pulling in the arch specific one. However, the proper fix isn't adding back the asm inclusion. memblock doesn't have any arch dependent part and doesn't need arch specific header file and asm/memblock.h files are either practically empty or contain mostly unrelated arch specific stuff. * In microblaze, sh, powerpc, sparc and openrisc, asm/memblock.h is either empty or just contains unused MEMBLOCK_DBG() macro. Remove them. * In arm and unicore32, asm/memblock.h contains arch specific stuff. Include it directly from its users. It might be a good idea to rename the header file to avoid confusion.

This fixes a problem where a CPU thread coming out of nap mode can think it has valid values in the nonvolatile GPRs (r14 - r31) as saved away in power7_idle, but in fact the values have been trashed because the thread was used for KVM in the mean time. The result is that the thread crashes because code that called power7_idle (e.g., pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self()) goes to use values in registers that have been trashed. The bit field in SRR1 that tells whether state was lost only reflects the most recent nap, which may not have been the nap instruction in power7_idle. So we need an extra PACA field to indicate that state has been lost even if SRR1 indicates that the most recent nap didn't lose state. We clear this field when saving the state in power7_idle, we set it to a non-zero value when we use the thread for KVM, and we test it in power7_wakeup_noloss.

With CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y, user space cannot read any part of /dev/mem. Since this breaks librtas, punch a hole in /dev/mem to allow access to the rmo_buffer that librtas needs. Anton Blanchard reported the problem and helped with the fix.
