Currently, if HV KVM is configured but PR KVM isn't, we don't include a test to see whether we were interrupted in KVM guest context for the set of interrupts which get delivered directly to the guest by hardware if they occur in the guest. This includes things like program interrupts. However, the recent bug where userspace could set the MSR for a VCPU to have an illegal value in the TS field, and thus cause a TM Bad Thing type of program interrupt on the hrfid that enters the guest, showed that we can never be completely sure that these interrupts can never occur in the guest entry/exit code. If one of these interrupts does happen and we have HV KVM configured but not PR KVM, then we end up trying to run the handler in the host with the MMU set to the guest MMU context, which generally ends badly. Thus, for robustness it is better to have the test in every interrupt vector, so that if some way is found to trigger some interrupt in the guest entry/exit path, we can handle it without immediately crashing the host. This means that the distinction between KVMTEST and KVMTEST_PR goes away. Thus we delete KVMTEST_PR and associated macros and use KVMTEST everywhere that we previously used either KVMTEST_PR or KVMTEST. It also means that SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 becomes the same as SOFTEN_TEST_PR, so we deleted SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 and use SOFTEN_TEST_PR instead.

It is common practice with powerpc to use 'rN' to refer to register 'N'. However when using the pt_regs_offset table we have to use 'gprN'. So add aliases such that both 'rN' and 'gprN' can be used. For example, we can currently do: $ su - $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing $ echo "p:probe/sys_fchownat sys_fchownat %gpr3:s32 +0(%gpr4):string %gpr5:s32 %gpr6:s32 %gpr7:s32" > kprobe_events $ echo 1 > events/probe/sys_fchownat/enable $ touch /tmp/foo $ chown root /tmp/foo $ echo 0 > events/enable $ cat trace chown-2925 [014] d... 76.160657: sys_fchownat: (SyS_fchownat+0x8/0x1a0) arg1=-100 arg2="/tmp/foo" arg3=0 arg4=-1 arg5=0 Instead we'd like to be able to use: $ echo "p:probe/sys_fchownat sys_fchownat %r3:s32 +0(%r4):string %r5:s32 %r6:s32 %r7:s32" > kprobe_events Signed-off-by: NRashmica Gupta <rashmicy@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Most architectures use NR_syscalls as the #define for the number of syscalls. We use __NR_syscalls, and then define NR_syscalls as __NR_syscalls. __NR_syscalls is not used outside arch code, whereas NR_syscalls is. So as NR_syscalls must be defined and __NR_syscalls does not, replace __NR_syscalls with NR_syscalls.

When writing a value to config space, cxl_pcie_write_config() calls cxl_pcie_config_info() to obtain a mask and shift value, shifts the new value accordingly, then uses the mask to combine the shifted value with the existing value at the address as part of a read-modify-write pattern. Currently, we use a logical OR operator rather than a bitwise OR operator, which means any use of this function results in an incorrect value being written. Replace the logical OR operator with a bitwise OR operator so the value is written correctly.

An idr warning is reported when a context is release after the capi card is unbound from the cxl driver via sysfs. Below are the steps to reproduce: 1. Create multiple afu contexts in an user-space application using libcxl. 2. Unbind capi card from cxl using command of form echo <capi-card-pci-addr> > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/cxl-pci/unbind 3. Exit/kill the application owning afu contexts. After above steps a warning message is usually seen in the kernel logs of the form "idr_remove called for id=<context-id> which is not allocated." This is caused by the function cxl_release_afu which destroys the contexts_idr table. So when a context is release no entry for context pe is found in the contexts_idr table and idr code prints this warning. This patch fixes this issue by increasing & decreasing the ref-count on the afu device when a context is initialized or when its freed respectively. This prevents the afu from being released until all the afu contexts have been released. The patch introduces two new functions namely cxl_afu_get/put that manage the ref-count on the afu device. Also the patch removes code inside cxl_dev_context_init that increases ref on the afu device as its guaranteed to be alive during this function.

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users. Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'. This is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API. A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects. The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc run without local IRQs disabled. With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing" the entire c->freelist or page->freelist. To avoid overshooting we would stop processing at a slab-page boundary. Else we always end up returning some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg. To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated objects with this API change.

Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this. If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough to not add any asm code. Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context. Thus, we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to memcg_kmem_get_cache(). This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache. As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able to handle an array of objects. A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have same type (size_t) as size argument. This helps the compiler to easier realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop evaluates to nothing. Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access object directly.

This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk. The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of the (locked) cmpxchg_double. To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties: 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed, thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free. 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page each with a separate head pointer. 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization. Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist head pointer is not visible to other CPUs. All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page. Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility. Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free(). Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter (cnt). Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object. This allow compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single object free. This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in __slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free(). Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these freelists. When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if objects don't belong to the same slab-page. These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached freelists it introduces and constructs. Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change, when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels. A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on huge pages. The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default. Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to emulate standard 2MB huge pages. Signed-off-by: NHelge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

Use the 22bit instead of the 17bit branch instruction on a 64bit kernel to reach the do_syscall_trace_exit function from the gateway page. A huge page enabled kernel may need the additional branch distance bits. Signed-off-by: NHelge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

For the 64bit kernel the initially 16 MB kernel memory might become too small if you build a kernel with many modules built-in and with kernel text and data areas mapped on huge pages. This patch increases the initial mapping to 32MB for 64bit kernels and keeps 16MB for 32bit kernels. Signed-off-by: NHelge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

A fault vector on parisc needs to be 2K aligned. Furthermore the checksum of the fault vector needs to sum up to 0 which is being calculated and written at runtime. Up to now we aligned both PA20 and PA11 fault vectors on the same 4K page in order to easily write the checksum after having mapped the kernel read-only (by mapping this page only as read-write). But when we want to map the kernel text and data on huge pages this makes things harder. So, simplify it by aligning both fault vectors on 2K boundries and write the checksum before we map the page read-only. Signed-off-by: NHelge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

Huge pages on parisc will have the same size as one pmd table, which is on a 64bit kernel 2MB on a kernel with 4K kernel page sizes, and on a 32bit kernel 4MB when used with 4K kernel pages. Since parisc does not physically supports 2MB huge page sizes, emulate it with two consecutive 1MB page sizes instead. Keeping the same huge page size as one pmd will allow us to add transparent huge page support later on. Bit 21 in the pte flags was unused and will now be used to mark a page as huge page (_PAGE_HPAGE_BIT). Signed-off-by: NHelge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
