This patch does a couple of things. First of all, powernv immediately explodes when running a relocated kernel, because the system reset exception for handling sleeps does not do correct relocated branches. Secondly, the sleep handling code trashes the condition and cfar registers, which we would like to preserve for debugging purposes (for non-sleep case exception). This patch changes the exception to use the standard format that saves registers before any tests or branches are made. It adds the test for idle-wakeup as an "extra" to break out of the normal exception path. Then it branches to a relocated idle handler that calls the various idle handling functions. After this patch, POWER8 CPU simulator now boots powernv kernel that is running at non-zero.

Before this patch, we used tlbiel, if we ever ran only on this core. That was mostly derived from the nohash usage of the same. But is incorrect, the ISA 3.0 clarifies tlbiel such that: "All TLB entries that have all of the following properties are made invalid on the thread executing the tlbiel instruction" ie. tlbiel only invalidates TLB entries on the current thread. So if the mm has been used on any other thread (aka. cpu) then we must broadcast the invalidate. This bug could lead to invalid TLB entries if a program runs on multiple threads of a core. Hence use tlbiel, if we only ever ran on only the current cpu.

PowerPC's "cmp" instruction has four operands. Normally people write "cmpw" or "cmpd" for the second cmp operand 0 or 1. But, frequently people forget, and write "cmp" with just three operands. With older binutils this is silently accepted as if this was "cmpw", while often "cmpd" is wanted. With newer binutils GAS will complain about this for 64-bit code. For 32-bit code it still silently assumes "cmpw" is what is meant. In this instance the code comes directly from ISA v2.07, including the cmp, but cmpd is correct. Backport to stable so that new toolchains can build old kernels.

Currently significant amount of memory is reserved only in kernel booted to capture kernel dump using the fa_dump method. Kernels compiled with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT will initialize only certain size memory per node. The certain size takes into account the dentry and inode cache sizes. Currently the cache sizes are calculated based on the total system memory including the reserved memory. However such a kernel when booting the same kernel as fadump kernel will not be able to allocate the required amount of memory to suffice for the dentry and inode caches. This results in crashes like Hence only implement arch_reserved_kernel_pages() for CONFIG_FA_DUMP configurations. The amount reserved will be reduced while calculating the large caches and will avoid crashes like the below on large systems such as 32 TB systems.

Tail calls allow JIT'ed eBPF programs to call into other JIT'ed eBPF programs. This can be achieved either by: (1) retaining the stack setup by the first eBPF program and having all subsequent eBPF programs re-using it, or, (2) by unwinding/tearing down the stack and having each eBPF program deal with its own stack as it sees fit. To ensure that this does not create loops, there is a limit to how many tail calls can be done (currently 32). This requires the JIT'ed code to maintain a count of the number of tail calls done so far. Approach (1) is simple, but requires every eBPF program to have (almost) the same prologue/epilogue, regardless of whether they need it. This is inefficient for small eBPF programs which may not sometimes need a prologue at all. As such, to minimize impact of tail call implementation, we use approach (2) here which needs each eBPF program in the chain to use its own prologue/epilogue. This is not ideal when many tail calls are involved and when all the eBPF programs in the chain have similar prologue/epilogue. However, the impact is restricted to programs that do tail calls. Individual eBPF programs are not affected. We maintain the tail call count in a fixed location on the stack and updated tail call count values are passed in through this. The very first eBPF program in a chain sets this up to 0 (the first 2 instructions). Subsequent tail calls skip the first two eBPF JIT instructions to maintain the count. For programs that don't do tail calls themselves, the first two instructions are NOPs. Signed-off-by: NNaveen N.

Currently the MSR TM bit is always set if the hardware is TM capable. This adds extra overhead as it means the TM SPRS (TFHAR, TEXASR and TFAIR) must be swapped for each process regardless of if they use TM. For processes that don't use TM the TM MSR bit can be turned off allowing the kernel to avoid the expensive swap of the TM registers. A TM unavailable exception will occur if a thread does use TM and the kernel will enable MSR_TM and leave it so for some time afterwards.

There is currently an inconsistency as to how the entire CPU register state is saved and restored when a thread uses transactional memory (TM). Using transactional memory results in the CPU having duplicated (almost) all of its register state. This duplication results in a set of registers which can be considered 'live', those being currently modified by the instructions being executed and another set that is frozen at a point in time. On context switch, both sets of state have to be saved and (later) restored. These two states are often called a variety of different things. Common terms for the state which only exists after the CPU has entered a transaction (performed a TBEGIN instruction) in hardware are 'transactional' or 'speculative'. Between a TBEGIN and a TEND or TABORT (or an event that causes the hardware to abort), regardless of the use of TSUSPEND the transactional state can be referred to as the live state. The second state is often to referred to as the 'checkpointed' state and is a duplication of the live state when the TBEGIN instruction is executed. This state is kept in the hardware and will be rolled back to on transaction failure. Currently all the registers stored in pt_regs are ALWAYS the live registers, that is, when a thread has transactional registers their values are stored in pt_regs and the checkpointed state is in ckpt_regs. A strange opposite is true for fp_state/vr_state. When a thread is non transactional fp_state/vr_state holds the live registers. When a thread has initiated a transaction fp_state/vr_state holds the checkpointed state and transact_fp/transact_vr become the structure which holds the live state (at this point it is a transactional state). This method creates confusion as to where the live state is, in some circumstances it requires extra work to determine where to put the live state and prevents the use of common functions designed (probably before TM) to save the live state. With this patch pt_regs, fp_state and vr_state all represent the same thing and the other structures [pending rename] are for checkpointed state.

Much of the signal code takes a pt_regs on which it operates. Over time the signal code has needed to know more about the thread than what pt_regs can supply, this information is obtained as needed by using 'current'. This approach is not strictly incorrect however it does mean that there is now a hard requirement that the pt_regs being passed around does belong to current, this is never checked. A safer approach is for the majority of the signal functions to take a task_struct from which they can obtain pt_regs and any other information they need. The caveat that the task_struct they are passed must be current doesn't go away but can more easily be checked for. Functions called from outside powerpc signal code are passed a pt_regs and they can confirm that the pt_regs is that of current and pass current to other functions, furthurmore, powerpc signal functions can check that the task_struct they are passed is the same as current avoiding possible corruption of current (or the task they are passed) if this assertion ever fails.

Use assembler sections of fixed size and location to arrange the 64-bit Book3S exception vector code (64-bit Book3E also uses it in head_64.S for 0x0..0x100). This allows better flexibility in arranging exception code and hiding unimportant details behind macros. Gas sections can be a bit painful to use this way, mainly because the assembler does not know where they will be finally linked. Taking absolute addresses requires a bit of trickery for example, but it can be hidden behind macros for the most part. Generated code is mostly the same except locations, offsets, alignments. The "+ 0x2" is only required for the trap number / kvm exit number, which gets loaded as a constant into a register. Previously, code also used + 0x2 for label names, but we changed to using "H" to distinguish HV case for that. Remove the last vestiges of that. __after_prom_start is taking absolute address of a label in another fixed section. Newer toolchains seemed to compile this okay, but older ones do not. FIXED_SYMBOL_ABS_ADDR is more foolproof, it just takes an additional line to define. Signed-off-by: NNicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Create arch/powerpc/include/asm/head-64.h with macros that specify an exception vector (name, type, location), which will be used to label and lay out exceptions into the object file. Naming is moved out of exception-64s.h, which is used to specify the implementation of exception handlers. objdump of generated code in exception vectors is unchanged except for names. Alignment directives scattered around are annoying, but done this way so that disassembly can verify identical instruction generation before and after patch. These get cleaned up in future patch. We change the way KVMTEST works, explicitly passing EXC_HV or EXC_STD rather than overloading the trap number. This removes the need to have SOFTEN values for the overloaded trap numbers, eg. 0x502.

When PCI Device pass-through is enabled via VFIO, KVM-PPC will pin pages using get_user_pages_fast(). One of the downsides of the pinning is that the page could be in CMA region. The CMA region is used for other allocations like the hash page table. Ideally we want the pinned pages to be from non CMA region. This patch (currently only for KVM PPC with VFIO) forcefully migrates the pages out (huge pages are omitted for the moment). There are more efficient ways of doing this, but that might be elaborate and might impact a larger audience beyond just the kvm ppc implementation. The magic is in new_iommu_non_cma_page() which allocates the new page from a non CMA region. I've tested the patches lightly at my end. The full solution requires migration of THP pages in the CMA region. That work will be done incrementally on top of this.

One event is allocated and queued to the PCI slot for workqueue to pick it up and process in serialized fashion. The code flow for surprise hotplug is same to that for managed hotplug except: the affected PEs are put into frozen state to avoid unexpected EEH error reporting in surprise hot remove path.

The MMCR2 register is available twice, one time with number 785 (privileged access), and one time with number 769 (unprivileged, but it can be disabled completely). In former times, the Linux kernel was using the unprivileged register 769 only, but since commit 8dd75ccb ("powerpc: Use privileged SPR number for MMCR2"), it uses the privileged register 785 instead. The KVM-PR code then of course also switched to use the SPR 785, but this is causing older guest kernels to crash, since these kernels still access 769 instead. So to support older kernels with KVM-PR again, we have to support register 769 in KVM-PR, too.

POWER8 has one virtual timebase (VTB) register per subcore, not one per CPU thread. The HV KVM code currently treats VTB as a per-thread register, which can lead to spurious soft lockup messages from guests which use the VTB as the time source for the soft lockup detector. (CPUs before POWER8 did not have the VTB register.) For HV KVM, this fixes the problem by making only the primary thread in each virtual core save and restore the VTB value. With this, the VTB state becomes part of the kvmppc_vcore structure. This also means that "piggybacking" of multiple virtual cores onto one subcore is not possible on POWER8, because then the virtual cores would share a single VTB register. PR KVM emulates a VTB register, which is per-vcpu because PR KVM has no notion of CPU threads or SMT. For PR KVM we move the VTB state into the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct.

So we write r0 into the register, regardless of r0 value.

When we originally added the ability to split the exception vectors from the kernel (commit 1f6a93e4 ("powerpc: Make it possible to move the interrupt handlers away from the kernel" 2008-09-15)), the LOAD_HANDLER() macro used an addi instruction to compute the offset of the common handler from the kernel base address. Using addi meant the handler had to be within 32K of the kernel base address, due to the addi instruction taking a signed immediate value. That necessitated creating a trampoline for the system call handler, because system_call_common (in entry64.S) is not linked within 32K of the kernel base address. Later in commit 61e2390e ("powerpc: Make load_hander handle upto 64k offset" 2012-11-15) we changed LOAD_HANDLER to take a 64K offset, by changing it to use ori. Although system_call_common is not in head_64.S or exceptions-64s.S, it is included in head-y, which causes it to be linked early in the kernel text, so in practice it ends up below 64K. Additionally if it can't be placed below 64K the linker will fail to build with a "relocation truncated to fit" error. So remove the trampoline. Newer toolchains are able to work out that the ori in LOAD_HANDLER only takes a 16 bit offset, and so they generate a 16 bit relocation. Older toolchains (binutils 2.22 at least) are not so smart, so we have to add the @l annotation to tell the assembler to generate a 16 bit relocation.

NO_IRQ has been == 0 on powerpc for just over ten years (since commit 0ebfff14 ("[POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use it")). It's also 0 on most other arches. Although it's fairly harmless, every now and then it causes confusion when a driver is built on powerpc and another arch which doesn't define NO_IRQ. There's at least 6 definitions of NO_IRQ in drivers/, at least some of which are to work around that problem. So we'd like to remove it. This is fairly trivial in the arch code, we just convert: if (irq == NO_IRQ) to if (!irq) if (irq != NO_IRQ) to if (irq) irq = NO_IRQ; to irq = 0; return NO_IRQ; to return 0; And a few other odd cases as well. At least for now we keep the #define NO_IRQ, because there is driver code that uses NO_IRQ and the fixes to remove those will go via other trees. Note we also change some occurrences in PPC sound drivers, drivers/ps3, and drivers/macintosh. Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Currently the _GLOBAL() macro unilaterally sets the assembler section to ".text" at the start of the macro. This is rude as the caller may be using a different section. So let the caller decide which section to emit the code into. On big endian we do need to switch to the ".opd" section to emit the OPD, but do that with pushsection/popsection, thereby leaving the original section intact.

Rather than forcing the whole function into the ".kprobes.text" section, just add the symbol's address to the kprobe blacklist. This also lets us drop the three versions of the_KPROBE macro, in exchange for just one version of _ASM_NOKPROBE_SYMBOL - which is a good cleanup.

Currently we mark the C implementations of some exception handlers as __kprobes. This has the effect of putting them in the ".kprobes.text" section, which separates them from the rest of the text. Instead we can use the blacklist macros to add the symbols to a blacklist which kprobes will check. This allows the linker to move exception handler functions close to callers and avoids trampolines in larger kernels.
