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".

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.

Thomas Huth discovered that a guest could cause a hard hang of a host CPU by setting the Instruction Authority Mask Register (IAMR) to a suitable value. It turns out that this is because when the code was added to context-switch the new special-purpose registers (SPRs) that were added in POWER8, we forgot to add code to ensure that they were restored to a sane value on guest exit. This adds code to set those registers where a bad value could compromise the execution of the host kernel to a suitable neutral value on guest exit.

Firstly we add logic to Kconfig to allow a user to choose if they want mprofile-kernel. This has to be user-selectable because only some current toolchains support it. If we enabled it unconditionally we would prevent some users from building the kernel entirely. Arguably it would be nice if we could detect if mprofile-kernel was available, and use it then. However that would violate the principle of least surprise because a user having choosen options such as live patching, would then see them quietly disabled at build time. We also make the user selectable option negative, ie. it disables when selected, so that allyesconfig continues to build on old toolchains. Once we've decided we do want to use mprofile-kernel, we then add a script which checks it actually works. That is because there are versions of gcc that accept the flag but don't generate correct code. Due to the way kconfig works, we can't error out when we detect a non-working toolchain. If we did a user would never be able to modify their config and run oldconfig - because the check would block oldconfig from running. Instead we emit a warning and add a bogus flag to CFLAGS so that the build will fail. Signed-off-by: NTorsten Duwe <duwe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

The gcc switch -mprofile-kernel defines a new ABI for calling _mcount() very early in the function with minimal overhead. Although mprofile-kernel has been available since GCC 3.4, there were bugs which were only fixed recently. Currently it is known to work in GCC 4.9, 5 and 6. Additionally there are two possible code sequences generated by the flag, the first uses mflr/std/bl and the second is optimised to omit the std. Currently only gcc 6 has the optimised sequence. This patch supports both sequences. Initial work started by Vojtech Pavlik, used with permission. Key changes: - rework _mcount() to work for both the old and new ABIs. - implement new versions of ftrace_caller() and ftrace_graph_caller() which deal with the new ABI. - updates to __ftrace_make_nop() to recognise the new mcount calling sequence. - updates to __ftrace_make_call() to recognise the nop'ed sequence. - implement ftrace_modify_call(). - updates to the module loader to surpress the toc save in the module stub when calling mcount with the new ABI.

In order to support the new -mprofile-kernel ABI, we need to be able to call from the module back to ftrace_caller() (in the kernel) without using the module's r2. That is because the function in this module which is calling ftrace_caller() may not have setup r2, if it doesn't otherwise need it (ie. it accesses no globals). To make that work we add a new stub which is used for calling ftrace_caller(), which uses the kernel toc instead of the module toc.

When a module is loaded, calls out to the kernel go via a stub which is generated at runtime. One of these stubs is used to call _mcount(), which is the default target of tracing calls generated by the compiler with -pg. If dynamic ftrace is enabled (which it typically is), another stub is used to call ftrace_caller(), which is the target of tracing calls when ftrace is actually active. ftrace then wants to disable the calls to _mcount() at module startup, and enable/disable the calls to ftrace_caller() when enabling/disabling tracing - all of these it does by patching the code. As part of that code patching, the ftrace code wants to confirm that the branch it is about to modify, is in fact a call to a module stub which calls _mcount() or ftrace_caller(). Currently it does that by inspecting the instructions and confirming they are what it expects. Although that works, the code to do it is pretty intricate because it requires lots of knowledge about the exact format of the stub. We can make that process easier by marking the generated stubs with a magic value, and then looking for that magic value. Altough this is not as rigorous as the current method, I believe it is sufficient in practice.

Currently we generate the module stub for ftrace_caller() at the bottom of apply_relocate_add(). However apply_relocate_add() is potentially called more than once per module, which means we will try to generate the ftrace_caller() stub multiple times. Although the current code deals with that correctly, ie. it only generates a stub the first time, it would be clearer to only try to generate the stub once. Note also on first reading it may appear that we generate a different stub for each section that requires relocation, but that is not the case. The code in stub_for_addr() that searches for an existing stub uses sechdrs[me->arch.stubs_section], ie. the single stub section for this module. A cleaner approach is to only generate the ftrace_caller() stub once, from module_finalize(). Although the original code didn't check to see if the stub was actually generated correctly, it seems prudent to add a check, so do that. And an additional benefit is we can clean the ifdefs up a little. Finally we must propagate the const'ness of some of the pointers passed to module_finalize(), but that is also an improvement.

This patch adds support to real-mode KVM to search for a core running in the host partition and send it an IPI message with VCPU to be woken. This avoids having to switch to the host partition to complete an H_IPI hypercall when the VCPU which is the target of the the H_IPI is not loaded (is not running in the guest). The patch also includes the support in the IPI handler running in the host to do the wakeup by calling kvmppc_xics_ipi_action for the PPC_MSG_RM_HOST_ACTION message. When a guest is being destroyed, we need to ensure that there are no pending IPIs waiting to wake up a VCPU before we free the VCPUs of the guest. This is accomplished by: - Forces a PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNCTION IPI to be completed by all CPUs before freeing any VCPUs in kvm_arch_destroy_vm(). - Any PPC_MSG_RM_HOST_ACTION messages must be executed first before any other PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNCTION messages.

This patch defines the data structures to support the setting up of host side operations while running in real mode in the guest, and also the functions to allocate and free it. The operations are for now limited to virtual XICS operations. Currently, we have only defined one operation in the data structure: - Wake up a VCPU sleeping in the host when it receives a virtual interrupt The operations are assigned at the core level because PowerKVM requires that the host run in SMT off mode. For each core, we will need to manage its state atomically - where the state is defined by: 1. Is the core running in the host? 2. Is there a Real Mode (RM) operation pending on the host? Currently, core state is only managed at the whole-core level even when the system is in split-core mode. This just limits the number of free or "available" cores in the host to perform any host-side operations. The kvmppc_host_rm_core.rm_data allows any data to be passed by KVM in real mode to the host core along with the operation to be performed. The kvmppc_host_rm_ops structure is allocated the very first time a guest VM is started. Initial core state is also set - all online cores are in the host. This structure is never deleted, not even when there are no active guests. However, it needs to be freed when the module is unloaded because the kvmppc_host_rm_ops_hv can contain function pointers to kvm-hv.ko functions for the different supported host operations.

This patch creates a separate function smp_muxed_ipi_set_message just to set the IPI message without the cause_ipi routine.

The problem: On -rt, an emulated LAPIC timer instances has the following path: 1) hard interrupt 2) ksoftirqd is scheduled 3) ksoftirqd wakes up vcpu thread 4) vcpu thread is scheduled This extra context switch introduces unnecessary latency in the LAPIC path for a KVM guest. The solution: Allow waking up vcpu thread from hardirq context, thus avoiding the need for ksoftirqd to be scheduled. Normal waitqueues make use of spinlocks, which on -RT are sleepable locks. Therefore, waking up a waitqueue waiter involves locking a sleeping lock, which is not allowed from hard interrupt context. cyclictest command line: This patch reduces the average latency in my tests from 14us to 11us.

We can get a hash pte fault with 4k base page size and find the pte already inserted with 64K base page size. In that case we need to clear the existing slot information from the old pte. Fix this correctly With THP, we also clear the slot information with respect to all the 64K hash pte mapping that 16MB page. They are all invalid now. This make sure we don't find the slot valid when we fault with 4k base page size. Finding the slot valid should not result in any wrong behavior because we do check again in hash page table for the validity. But we can avoid that check completely.

During error recovery, the device could be removed as part of the partial hotplug. The criterion used to come with partial hotplug is: if the device driver provides error_detected(), slot_reset() and resume() callbacks, it's immune from hotplug. Otherwise, it's going to experience partial hotplug during EEH recovery. But the criterion isn't correct enough: mlx4_core driver for Mellanox adapters provides error_detected(), slot_reset() callbacks, but resume() isn't there. Those Mellanox adapters won't be to involved in the partial hotplug. This fixes the criterion to a practical one: adpater with driver that provides error_detected(), slot_reset() will be immune from partial hotplug. resume() isn't mandatory.

Quite often drivers set only "write" permission assuming that this includes "read" permission as well and this works on plenty of platforms. However IODA2 is strict about this and produces an EEH when "read" permission is not set and reading happens. This adds a workaround in the IODA code to always add the "read" bit when the "write" bit is set.

The patch centralizes the XTS key check logic into the service function xts_check_key which is invoked from the different XTS implementations. With this, the XTS implementations in ARM, ARM64, PPC and S390 have now a sanity check for the XTS keys similar to the other arches. In addition, this service function received a check to ensure that the key != the tweak key which is mandated by FIPS 140-2 IG A.9. As the check is not present in the standards defining XTS, it is only enforced in FIPS mode of the kernel.

This adds real and virtual mode handlers for the H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE hypercalls for user space emulated devices such as IBMVIO devices or emulated PCI. These calls allow adding multiple entries (up to 512) into the TCE table in one call which saves time on transition between kernel and user space. The current implementation of kvmppc_h_stuff_tce() allows it to be executed in both real and virtual modes so there is one helper. The kvmppc_rm_h_put_tce_indirect() needs to translate the guest address to the host address and since the translation is different, there are 2 helpers - one for each mode. This implements the KVM_CAP_PPC_MULTITCE capability. When present, the kernel will try handling H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE if these are enabled by the userspace via KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL. If they can not be handled by the kernel, they are passed on to the user space. The user space still has to have an implementation for these. Both HV and PR-syle KVM are supported.

Upcoming multi-tce support (H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT/H_STUFF_TCE hypercalls) will validate TCE (not to have unexpected bits) and IO address (to be within the DMA window boundaries). This introduces helpers to validate TCE and IO address. The helpers are exported as they compile into vmlinux (to work in realmode) and will be used later by KVM kernel module in virtual mode.
