Allow kprobes to be placed on ftrace _mcount() call sites. This optimization avoids the use of a trap, by riding on ftrace infrastructure. This depends on HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS which depends on MPROFILE_KERNEL, which is only currently enabled on powerpc64le with newer toolchains. Based on the x86 code by Masami.

Current infrastructure of kprobe uses the unconditional trap instruction to probe a running kernel. Optprobe allows kprobe to replace the trap with a branch instruction to a detour buffer. Detour buffer contains instructions to create an in memory pt_regs. Detour buffer also has a call to optimized_callback() which in turn call the pre_handler(). After the execution of the pre-handler, a call is made for instruction emulation. The NIP is determined in advanced through dummy instruction emulation and a branch instruction is created to the NIP at the end of the trampoline. To address the limitation of branch instruction in POWER architecture, detour buffer slot is allocated from a reserved area. For the time being, 64KB is reserved in memory for this purpose. Instructions which can be emulated using analyse_instr() are the candidates for optimization. Before optimization ensure that the address range between the detour buffer allocated and the instruction being probed is within +/- 32MB.

Unfortunately the stack protector support we merged recently only works on some toolchains. If the toolchain is built without glibc support everything works fine, but if glibc is built then it leads to a panic at boot. The solution is not rc5 material, so revert the support for now.

Patch series "ima: carry the measurement list across kexec", v8. The TPM PCRs are only reset on a hard reboot. In order to validate a TPM's quote after a soft reboot (eg. kexec -e), the IMA measurement list of the running kernel must be saved and then restored on the subsequent boot, possibly of a different architecture. The existing securityfs binary_runtime_measurements file conveniently provides a serialized format of the IMA measurement list. This patch set serializes the measurement list in this format and restores it. Up to now, the binary_runtime_measurements was defined as architecture native format. The assumption being that userspace could and would handle any architecture conversions. With the ability of carrying the measurement list across kexec, possibly from one architecture to a different one, the per boot architecture information is lost and with it the ability of recalculating the template digest hash. To resolve this problem, without breaking the existing ABI, this patch set introduces the boot command line option "ima_canonical_fmt", which is arbitrarily defined as little endian. The need for this boot command line option will be limited to the existing version 1 format of the binary_runtime_measurements. Subsequent formats will be defined as canonical format (eg. TPM 2.0 support for larger digests). A simplified method of Thiago Bauermann's "kexec buffer handover" patch series for carrying the IMA measurement list across kexec is included in this patch set. The simplified method requires all file measurements be taken prior to executing the kexec load, as subsequent measurements will not be carried across the kexec and restored. This patch (of 10): The IMA kexec buffer allows the currently running kernel to pass the measurement list via a kexec segment to the kernel that will be kexec'd. The second kernel can check whether the previous kernel sent the buffer and retrieve it. This is the architecture-specific part which enables IMA to receive the measurement list passed by the previous kernel. It will be used in the next patch. The change in machine_kexec_64.c is to factor out the logic of removing an FDT memory reservation so that it can be used by remove_ima_buffer.

This patch adds the support code needed for implementing kexec_file_load() on powerpc. This consists of functions to load the ELF kernel, either big or little endian, and setup the purgatory enviroment which switches from the first kernel to the second kernel. None of this code is built yet, as it depends on CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE which we have not yet defined. Although we could define CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE in this patch, we'd then have a window in history where the kconfig symbol is present but the syscall is not, which would be awkward.

Commit 2965faa5 ("kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code") introduced CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE so that CONFIG_KEXEC means whether the kexec_load system call should be compiled-in and CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE means whether the kexec_file_load system call should be compiled-in. These options can be set independently from each other. Since until now powerpc only supported kexec_load, CONFIG_KEXEC and CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE were synonyms. That is not the case anymore, so we need to make a distinction. Almost all places where CONFIG_KEXEC was being used should be using CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE instead, since kexec_file_load also needs that code compiled in.

This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering, thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc). At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals. The need for very-early boot entropy tends to be very architecture or system design specific, so this plugin is more suited for those sorts of special cases. The existing kernel RNG already attempts to extract entropy from reliable runtime variation, but this plugin takes the idea to a logical extreme by permuting a global variable based on any variation in code execution (e.g. a different value (and permutation function) is used to permute the global based on loop count, case statement, if/then/else branching, etc). To do this, the plugin starts by inserting a local variable in every marked function. The plugin then adds logic so that the value of this variable is modified by randomly chosen operations (add, xor and rol) and random values (gcc generates separate static values for each location at compile time and also injects the stack pointer at runtime). The resulting value depends on the control flow path (e.g., loops and branches taken). Before the function returns, the plugin mixes this local variable into the latent_entropy global variable. The value of this global variable is added to the kernel entropy pool in do_one_initcall() and _do_fork(), though it does not credit any bytes of entropy to the pool; the contents of the global are just used to mix the pool. Additionally, the plugin can pre-initialize arrays with build-time random contents, so that two different kernel builds running on identical hardware will not have the same starting values.

Commit 2578bfae ("[POWERPC] Create and use CONFIG_WORD_SIZE") added CONFIG_WORD_SIZE, and suggests that other arches were going to do likewise. But that never happened, powerpc is the only architecture which uses it. So switch to using a simple make variable, BITS, like x86, sh, sparc and tile. It is also easier to spell and simpler, avoiding any confusion about whether it's defined due to ordering of make vs kconfig. Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

When a guest is assigned to a core it converts the host Timebase (TB) into guest TB by adding guest timebase offset before entering into guest. During guest exit it restores the guest TB to host TB. This means under certain conditions (Guest migration) host TB and guest TB can differ. When we get an HMI for TB related issues the opal HMI handler would try fixing errors and restore the correct host TB value. With no guest running, we don't have any issues. But with guest running on the core we run into TB corruption issues. If we get an HMI while in the guest, the current HMI handler invokes opal hmi handler before forcing guest to exit. The guest exit path subtracts the guest TB offset from the current TB value which may have already been restored with host value by opal hmi handler. This leads to incorrect host and guest TB values. With split-core, things become more complex. With split-core, TB also gets split and each subcore gets its own TB register. When a hmi handler fixes a TB error and restores the TB value, it affects all the TB values of sibling subcores on the same core. On TB errors all the thread in the core gets HMI. With existing code, the individual threads call opal hmi handle independently which can easily throw TB out of sync if we have guest running on subcores. Hence we will need to co-ordinate with all the threads before making opal hmi handler call followed by TB resync. This patch introduces a sibling subcore state structure (shared by all threads in the core) in paca which holds information about whether sibling subcores are in Guest mode or host mode. An array in_guest[] of size MAX_SUBCORE_PER_CORE=4 is used to maintain the state of each subcore. The subcore id is used as index into in_guest[] array. Only primary thread entering/exiting the guest is responsible to set/unset its designated array element. On TB error, we get HMI interrupt on every thread on the core. Upon HMI, this patch will now force guest to vacate the core/subcore. Primary thread from each subcore will then turn off its respective bit from the above bitmap during the guest exit path just after the guest->host partition switch is complete. All other threads that have just exited the guest OR were already in host will wait until all other subcores clears their respective bit. Once all the subcores turn off their respective bit, all threads will will make call to opal hmi handler. It is not necessary that opal hmi handler would resync the TB value for every HMI interrupts. It would do so only for the HMI caused due to TB errors. For rest, it would not touch TB value. Hence to make things simpler, primary thread would call TB resync explicitly once for each core immediately after opal hmi handler instead of subtracting guest offset from TB. TB resync call will restore the TB with host value. Thus we can be sure about the TB state. One of the primary threads exiting the guest will take up the responsibility of calling TB resync. It will use one of the top bits (bit 63) from subcore state flags bitmap to make the decision. The first primary thread (among the subcores) that is able to set the bit will have to call the TB resync. Rest all other threads will wait until TB resync is complete. Once TB resync is complete all threads will then proceed. Signed-off-by: NMahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

the setup before the change was - arch/powerpc/Kconfig had the PPC_CLOCK option, off by default - depending on the PPC_CLOCK option the arch/powerpc/kernel/clock.c file was built, which implements the clk.h API but always returns -ENOSYS unless a platform registers specific callbacks - the MPC52xx platform selected PPC_CLOCK but did not register any callbacks, thus all clk.h API calls keep resulting in -ENOSYS errors (which is OK, all peripheral drivers deal with the situation) - the MPC512x platform selected PPC_CLOCK and registered specific callbacks implemented in arch/powerpc/platforms/512x/clock.c, thus provided real support for the clock API - no other powerpc platform did select PPC_CLOCK the situation after the change is - the MPC512x platform implements the COMMON_CLK interface, and thus the PPC_CLOCK approach in arch/powerpc/platforms/512x/clock.c has become obsolete - the MPC52xx platform still lacks genuine support for the clk.h API while this is not a change against the previous situation (the error code returned from COMMON_CLK stubs differs but every call still results in an error) - with all references gone, the arch/powerpc/kernel/clock.c wrapper and the PPC_CLOCK option have become obsolete, as did the clk_interface.h header file the switch from PPC_CLOCK to COMMON_CLK is done for all platforms within the same commit such that multiplatform kernels (the combination of 512x and 52xx within one executable) keep working Cc: Mike Turquette <mturquette@linaro.org> Cc: Anatolij Gustschin <agust@denx.de> Cc: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Signed-off-by: NGerhard Sittig <gsi@denx.de> Signed-off-by: NAnatolij Gustschin <agust@denx.de>

Now that we handle machine check in linux, the MCE decoding should also take place in linux host. This info is crucial to log before we go down in case we can not handle the machine check errors. This patch decodes and populates a machine check event which contain high level meaning full MCE information. We do this in real mode C code with ME bit on. The MCE information is still available on emergency stack (in pt_regs structure format). Even if we take another exception at this point the MCE early handler will allocate a new stack frame on top of current one. So when we return back here we still have our MCE information safe on current stack. We use per cpu buffer to save high level MCE information. Each per cpu buffer is an array of machine check event structure indexed by per cpu counter mce_nest_count. The mce_nest_count is incremented every time we enter machine check early handler in real mode to get the current free slot (index = mce_nest_count - 1). The mce_nest_count is decremented once the MCE info is consumed by virtual mode machine exception handler. This patch provides save_mce_event(), get_mce_event() and release_mce_event() generic routines that can be used by machine check handlers to populate and retrieve the event. The routine release_mce_event() will free the event slot so that it can be reused. Caller can invoke get_mce_event() with a release flag either to release the event slot immediately OR keep it so that it can be fetched again. The event slot can be also released anytime by invoking release_mce_event(). This patch also updates kvm code to invoke get_mce_event to retrieve generic mce event rather than paca->opal_mce_evt. The KVM code always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false so that event is available for linus host machine If machine check occurs while we are in guest, KVM tries to handle the error. If KVM is able to handle MC error successfully, it enters the guest and delivers the machine check to guest. If KVM is not able to handle MC error, it exists the guest and passes the control to linux host machine check handler which then logs MC event and decides how to handle it in linux host. In failure case, KVM needs to make sure that the MC event is available for linux host to consume. Hence KVM always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false and later it invokes release_mce_event() only if it succeeds to handle error.

The patch moves the common part of EEH core into arch/powerpc/kernel directory so that we needn't PPC_PSERIES while compiling POWERNV platform: * Move the EEH common part into arch/powerpc/kernel * Move the functions for PCI hotplug from pSeries platform to arch/powerpc/kernel/pci-hotplug.c * Move CONFIG_EEH from arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/Kconfig to arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig * Adjust makefile accordingly Signed-off-by: NGavin Shan <shangw@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Here we add the helper functions to be used when context switching. These allow us to fully reclaim and recheckpoint a transaction. We introduce a new paca field called tm_scratch to help us store away register values when doing the low level tm reclaim register save.

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium. Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data: # -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from # the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the # percpu data area are created by this method. # # The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the # original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base # kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full # 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large. On older kernels we fall back to the two level TOC (-mminimal-toc) Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The ppc64 kernel can get loaded at any address which means our very early init code in prom_init.c must be relocatable. We do this with a pretty nasty RELOC() macro that we wrap accesses of variables with. It is very fragile and sometimes we forget to add a RELOC() to an uncommon path or sometimes a compiler change breaks it. 32bit has a much more elegant solution where we build prom_init.c with -mrelocatable and then process the relocations manually. Unfortunately we can't do the equivalent on 64bit and we would have to build the entire kernel relocatable (-pie), resulting in a large increase in kernel footprint (megabytes of relocation data). The relocation data will be marked __initdata but it still creates more pressure on our already tight memory layout at boot. Alan Modra pointed out that the 64bit ABI is relocatable even if we don't build with -pie, we just need to relocate the TOC. This patch implements that idea and relocates the TOC entries of prom_init.c. An added bonus is there are very few relocations to process which helps keep boot times on simulators down. gcc does not put 64bit integer constants into the TOC but to be safe we may want a build time script which passes through the prom_init.c TOC entries to make sure everything looks reasonable.

Move the rule to build doorbell support out of the Makefile and into a new Kconfig boolean that platforms can select. We will add doorbell support to pseries as well in the next patch.
