In handling a H_ENTER hypercall, the code in kvmppc_do_h_enter clobbers the high-order two bits of the storage key, which is stored in a split field in the second doubleword of the HPTE. Any storage key number above 7 hence fails to operate correctly. This makes sure we preserve all the bits of the storage key.

The Radix MMU translation tree as defined in ISA v3.0 contains two different types of entry, directories and leaves. Leaves are identified by _PAGE_PTE being set. The formats of the two entries are different, with the directory entries containing no spare bits for use by software. In particular the bit we use for _PAGE_DEVMAP is not reserved for software, and is part of the NLB (Next Level Base) field, essentially the address of the next level in the tree. Note that the Linux pte_t is not == _PAGE_PTE. A huge page pmd entry (or devmap!) is also a leaf and so has _PAGE_PTE set, even though we use a pmd_t for it in Linux. The fix is to ensure that the pmd/pte_devmap() confirm they are looking at a leaf entry (_PAGE_PTE) as well as checking _PAGE_DEVMAP.

There's a somewhat architectural issue with Radix MMU and KVM. When coming out of a guest with AIL (Alternate Interrupt Location, ie, MMU enabled), we start executing hypervisor code with the PID register still containing whatever the guest has been using. The problem is that the CPU can (and will) then start prefetching or speculatively load from whatever host context has that same PID (if any), thus bringing translations for that context into the TLB, which Linux doesn't know about. This can cause stale translations and subsequent crashes. Fixing this in a way that is neither racy nor a huge performance impact is difficult. We could just make the host invalidations always use broadcast forms but that would hurt single threaded programs for example. We chose to fix it instead by partitioning the PID space between guest and host. This is possible because today Linux only use 19 out of the 20 bits of PID space, so existing guests will work if we make the host use the top half of the 20 bits space. We additionally add support for a property to indicate to Linux the size of the PID register which will be useful if we eventually have processors with a larger PID space available. There is still an issue with malicious guests purposefully setting the PID register to a value in the hosts PID range. Hopefully future HW can prevent that, but in the meantime, we handle it with a pair of kludges: - On the way out of a guest, before we clear the current VCPU in the PACA, we check the PID and if it's outside of the permitted range we flush the TLB for that PID. - When context switching, if the mm is "new" on that CPU (the corresponding bit was set for the first time in the mm cpumask), we check if any sibling thread is in KVM (has a non-NULL VCPU pointer in the PACA). If that is the case, we also flush the PID for that CPU (core). This second part is needed to handle the case where a process is migrated (or starts a new pthread) on a sibling thread of the CPU coming out of KVM, as there's a window where stale translations can exist before we detect it and flush them out. A future optimization could be added by keeping track of whether the PID has ever been used and avoid doing that for completely fresh PIDs. We could similarily mark PIDs that have been the subject of a global invalidation as "fresh". But for now this will do.

Mike Galbraith reported a situation where a WARN_ON_ONCE() call in DRM code turned into an oops. As it turns out, WARN_ON_ONCE() seems to be completely broken when called from a module. The bug was introduced with the following commit: 19d43626 ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()") That commit changed WARN_ON_ONCE() to move its 'once' logic into the bug trap handler. It requires a writable bug table so that the BUGFLAG_DONE bit can be written to the flags to indicate the first warning has occurred. The bug table was made writable for vmlinux, which relies on vmlinux.lds.S and vmlinux.lds.h for laying out the sections. However, it wasn't made writable for modules, which rely on the ELF section header flags.

__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to the page allocator. This has been true but only for allocations requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. It has been always ignored for smaller sizes. This is a bit unfortunate because there is no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests. Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example) - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_ attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more aggressive reclaim - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when the request is a performance optimization and there is another fallback for a slow path. - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) - non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh context with an expensive slow path fallback. - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently). - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer is not invoked. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer won't be triggered. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed. This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders. Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL because they already had their semantic. No new users are added. __alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point. This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

Implement an arch-speicfic watchdog rather than use the perf-based hardlockup detector. The new watchdog takes the soft-NMI directly, rather than going through perf. Perf interrupts are to be made maskable in future, so that would prevent the perf detector from working in those regions. Additionally, implement a SMP based detector where all CPUs watch one another by pinging a shared cpumask. This is because powerpc Book3S does not have a true periodic local NMI, but some platforms do implement a true NMI IPI. If a CPU is stuck with interrupts hard disabled, the soft-NMI watchdog does not work, but the SMP watchdog will. Even on platforms without a true NMI IPI to get a good trace from the stuck CPU, other CPUs will notice the lockup sufficiently to report it and panic.

Although it's not documented anywhere, there is an expectation that atomic64_inc_not_zero() returns a result which fits in an int. This is the behaviour implemented on all arches except powerpc. This has caused at least one bug in practice, in the percpu-refcount code, where the long result from our atomic64_inc_not_zero() was truncated to an int leading to lost references and stuck systems. That was worked around in that code in commit 966d2b04 ("percpu-refcount: fix reference leak during percpu-atomic transition"). To the best of my grepping abilities there are no other callers in-tree which truncate the value, but we should fix it anyway. Because the breakage is subtle and potentially very harmful I'm also tagging it for stable. Code generation is largely unaffected because in most cases the callers are just using the result for a test anyway. In particular the case of fget() that was mentioned in commit a6cf7ed5 ("powerpc/atomic: Implement atomic*_inc_not_zero") generates exactly the same code.

Now that explicitly executed loaders are loaded in the mmap region, we have more freedom to decide where we position PIE binaries in the address space to avoid possible collisions with mmap or stack regions. For 64-bit, align to 4GB to allow runtimes to use the entire 32-bit address space for 32-bit pointers. On 32-bit use 4MB, which is the traditional x86 minimum load location, likely to avoid historically requiring a 4MB page table entry when only a portion of the first 4MB would be used (since the NULL address is avoided).

Currently, we assume that the function pointer we receive in ppc_function_entry() points to a function descriptor. However, this is not always the case.

Since commit b009031f ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Take out virtual core piggybacking code", 2016-09-15), we only have at most one vcore per subcore. Previously, the fact that there might be more than one vcore per subcore meant that we had the notion of a "master vcore", which was the vcore that controlled thread 0 of the subcore. We also needed a list per subcore in the core_info struct to record which vcores belonged to each subcore. Now that there can only be one vcore in the subcore, we can replace the list with a simple pointer and get rid of the notion of the master vcore (and in fact treat every vcore as a master vcore). We can also get rid of the subcore_vm[] field in the core_info struct since it is never read.

Example output: qemu-system-ppc-5371 [016] 1412.369519: tlbie: tlbie with lpid 0, local 1, rb=67bd8900174c11c1, rs=0, ric=0 prs=0 r=0 Signed-off-by: NBalbir Singh <bsingharora@gmail.com> [mpe: Add some missing trace_tlbie()s, reword change log] Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Calling arch_update_cpu_topology from a CPU hotplug state machine callback hits a deadlock because the function tries to get a read lock on cpu_hotplug_lock while the state machine still holds a write lock on it. Since all callers of arch_update_cpu_topology except rtasd already hold cpu_hotplug_lock, this patch changes the function to use stop_machine_cpuslocked and creates a separate function for rtasd which still tries to obtain the lock. Michael Bringmann investigated the bug and provided a detailed analysis of the deadlock on this previous RFC for an alternate solution: Signed-off-by: NThiago Jung Bauermann <bauerman@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Cc: John Allen <jallen@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Bringmann <mwb@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Nathan Fontenot <nfont@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1497996510-4032-1-git-send-email-bauerman@linux.vnet.ibm.com Link: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/771293/

Enhance KVM to cause a guest exit with KVM_EXIT_NMI exit reason upon a machine check exception (MCE) in the guest address space if the KVM_CAP_PPC_FWNMI capability is enabled (instead of delivering a 0x200 interrupt to guest). This enables QEMU to build error log and deliver machine check exception to guest via guest registered machine check handler. This approach simplifies the delivery of machine check exception to guest OS compared to the earlier approach of KVM directly invoking 0x200 guest interrupt vector. This design/approach is based on the feedback for the QEMU patches to handle machine check exception. Details of earlier approach of handling machine check exception in QEMU and related discussions can be found at: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-11/msg00813.html Note: This patch now directly invokes machine_check_print_event_info() from kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() to print the event to host console at the time of guest exit before the exception is passed on to the guest. Hence, the host-side handling which was performed earlier via machine_check_fwnmi is removed. The reasons for this approach is (i) it is not possible to distinguish whether the exception occurred in the guest or the host from the pt_regs passed on the machine_check_exception(). Hence machine_check_exception() calls panic, instead of passing on the exception to the guest, if the machine check exception is not recoverable. (ii) the approach introduced in this patch gives opportunity to the host kernel to perform actions in virtual mode before passing on the exception to the guest. This approach does not require complex tweaks to machine_check_fwnmi and friends.

This introduces a new KVM capability to control how KVM behaves on machine check exception (MCE) in HV KVM guests. If this capability has not been enabled, KVM redirects machine check exceptions to guest's 0x200 vector, if the address in error belongs to the guest. With this capability enabled, KVM will cause a guest exit with the exit reason indicating an NMI. The new capability is required to avoid problems if a new kernel/KVM is used with an old QEMU, running a guest that doesn't issue "ibm,nmi-register". As old QEMU does not understand the NMI exit type, it treats it as a fatal error. However, the guest could have handled the machine check error if the exception was delivered to guest's 0x200 interrupt vector instead of NMI exit in case of old QEMU.

msgsnd doorbell exceptions are cleared when the doorbell interrupt is taken. However if a doorbell exception causes a system reset interrupt wake from power saving state, the message is not cleared. Processing the doorbell from the system reset interrupt requires msgclr to avoid taking the exception again. Testing this plus the previous wakup direct patch gives: original wakeup direct msgclr Different threads, same core: 315k/s 264k/s 345k/s Different cores: 235k/s 242k/s 242k/s Net speedup is +10% for same core, and +3% for different core.

When the CPU wakes from low power state, it begins at the system reset interrupt with the exception that caused the wakeup encoded in SRR1. Today, powernv idle wakeup ignores the wakeup reason (except a special case for HMI), and the regular interrupt corresponding to the exception will fire after the idle wakeup exits. Change this to replay the interrupt from the idle wakeup before interrupts are hard-enabled. Test on POWER8 of context_switch selftests benchmark with polling idle disabled (e.g., always nap, giving cross-CPU IPIs) gives the following results: original wakeup direct Different threads, same core: 315k/s 264k/s Different cores: 235k/s 242k/s There is a slowdown for doorbell IPI (same core) case because system reset wakeup does not clear the message and the doorbell interrupt fires again needlessly.
