We have a number of places where we load the text address of a local function and indirectly branch to it in assembly. Since it is an indirect branch binutils will not know to use the function text address, so that trick wont work. There is no need for these functions to have a function descriptor so we can replace it with a label and remove the dot symbol. Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

Move machine check entry point into Linux. So far we were dependent on firmware to decode MCE error details and handover the high level info to OS. This patch introduces early machine check routine that saves the MCE information (srr1, srr0, dar and dsisr) to the emergency stack. We allocate stack frame on emergency stack and set the r1 accordingly. This allows us to be prepared to take another exception without loosing context. One thing to note here that, if we get another machine check while ME bit is off then we risk a checkstop. Hence we restrict ourselves to save only MCE information and register saved on PACA_EXMC save are before we turn the ME bit on. We use paca->in_mce flag to differentiate between first entry and nested machine check entry which helps proper use of emergency stack. We increment paca->in_mce every time we enter in early machine check handler and decrement it while leaving. When we enter machine check early handler first time (paca->in_mce == 0), we are sure nobody is using MC emergency stack and allocate a stack frame at the start of the emergency stack. During subsequent entry (paca->in_mce > 0), we know that r1 points inside emergency stack and we allocate separate stack frame accordingly. This prevents us from clobbering MCE information during nested machine checks. The early machine check handler changes are placed under CPU_FTR_HVMODE section. This makes sure that the early machine check handler will get executed only in hypervisor kernel. This is the code flow: Machine Check Interrupt | V 0x200 vector ME=0, IR=0, DR=0 | V +-----------------------------------------------+ |machine_check_pSeries_early: | ME=0, IR=0, DR=0 | Alloc frame on emergency stack | | Save srr1, srr0, dar and dsisr on stack | +-----------------------------------------------+ | (ME=1, IR=0, DR=0, RFID) | V machine_check_handle_early ME=1, IR=0, DR=0 | V +-----------------------------------------------+ | machine_check_early (r3=pt_regs) | ME=1, IR=0, DR=0 | Things to do: (in next patches) | | Flush SLB for SLB errors | | Flush TLB for TLB errors | | Decode and save MCE info | +-----------------------------------------------+ | (Fall through existing exception handler routine.) | V machine_check_pSerie ME=1, IR=0, DR=0 | (ME=1, IR=1, DR=1, RFID) | V machine_check_common ME=1, IR=1, DR=1 . . .

The denormalized exception handler (denorm_exception_hv) has a couple of bugs. If the CONFIG_PPC_DENORMALISATION option is not selected, or the HSRR1_DENORM bit is not set in HSRR1, we don't test whether the interrupt occurred within a KVM guest. On the other hand, if the HSRR1_DENORM bit is set and CONFIG_PPC_DENORMALISATION is enabled, we corrupt the CFAR and PPR. To correct these problems, this replaces the open-coded version of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 that is there currently, and that is missing the saving of PPR and CFAR values to the PACA, with an instance of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1. This adds an explicit KVMTEST after testing whether the exception is one we can handle, and adds code to restore the CFAR on exit.

KVMTEST is a macro which checks whether we are taking an exception from guest context, if so we branch out of line and eventually call into the KVM code to handle the switch. When running real guests on bare metal (HV KVM) the hardware ensures that we never take a relocation on exception when transitioning from guest to host. For PR KVM we disable relocation on exceptions ourself in kvmppc_core_init_vm(), as of commit a413f474 "Disable relocation on exceptions whenever PR KVM is active". So convert all the RELON macros to use NOTEST, and drop the remaining KVM_HANDLER() definitions we have for 0xe40 and 0xe80.

Normally, the kernel emulates a few instructions that are unimplemented on some processors (e.g. the old dcba instruction), or privileged (e.g. mfpvr). The emulation of unimplemented instructions is currently not working on the PowerNV platform. The reason is that on these machines, unimplemented and illegal instructions cause a hypervisor emulation assist interrupt, rather than a program interrupt as on older CPUs. Our vector for the emulation assist interrupt just calls program_check_exception() directly, without setting the bit in SRR1 that indicates an illegal instruction interrupt. This fixes it by making the emulation assist interrupt set that bit before calling program_check_interrupt(). With this, old programs that use no-longer implemented instructions such as dcba now work again.

Building a 64-bit powerpc kernel with PR KVM enabled currently gives this error: AS arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S: Assembler messages: arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:258: Error: attempt to move .org backwards make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o] Error 1 This happens because the MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_PSERIES macro turns into 33 instructions, but we only have space for 32 at the decrementer interrupt vector (from 0x900 to 0x980). In the code generated by the MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_PSERIES macro, we currently have two instances of the HMT_MEDIUM macro, which has the effect of setting the SMT thread priority to medium. One is the first instruction, and is overwritten by a no-op on processors where we save the PPR (processor priority register), that is, POWER7 or later. The other is after we have saved the PPR. In order to reduce the code at 0x900 by one instruction, we omit the first HMT_MEDIUM. On processors without SMT this will have no effect since HMT_MEDIUM is a no-op there. On POWER5 and RS64 machines this will mean that the first few instructions take a little longer in the case where a decrementer interrupt occurs when the hardware thread is running at low SMT priority. On POWER6 and later machines, the hardware automatically boosts the thread priority when a decrementer interrupt is taken if the thread priority was below medium, so this change won't make any difference. The alternative would be to branch out of line after saving the CFAR. However, that would incur an extra overhead on all processors, whereas the approach adopted here only adds overhead on older threaded processors.

POWER8 allows us to take interrupts with the MMU on. This gives us a second set of vectors offset at 0x4000. Unfortunately when coping these vectors we missed checking for MSR HV for hardware interrupts (0x500).

This is much better at predicting in this scenario and doesn't trash link stack causing a bunch of additional branch mispredicts later.

Some of the interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER server processors are only 32 bytes long, which is not enough for the full first-level interrupt handler. For these we currently just have a branch to an out-of-line handler. However, this means that we corrupt the CFAR (come-from address register) on POWER7 and later processors. To fix this, we split the EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 macro into two pieces: EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 contains the part up to the point where the CFAR is saved in the PACA, and EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 contains the rest. We then put EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 in the short interrupt vectors before we branch to the out-of-line handler, which contains the rest of the first-level interrupt handler. To facilitate this, we define new _OOL (out of line) variants of STD_EXCEPTION_PSERIES, etc. In order to get EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 to be short enough, i.e., no more than 6 instructions, it was necessary to move the stores that move the PPR and CFAR values into the PACA into __EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 and to get rid of one of the two HMT_MEDIUM instructions. Previously there was a HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD before the prolog, which was nop'd out on processors with the PPR (POWER7 and later), and then another HMT_MEDIUM inside the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_SAVE macro call inside __EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1, which was nop'd out on processors without PPR. Now the HMT_MEDIUM inside EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 is there unconditionally and the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD is not strictly necessary, although this leaves it in for the interrupt vectors where there is room for it. Previously we had a handler for hypervisor maintenance interrupts at 0xe50, which doesn't leave enough room for the vector for hypervisor emulation assist interrupts at 0xe40, since we need 8 instructions. The 0xe50 vector was only used on POWER6, as the HMI vector was moved to 0xe60 on POWER7. Since we don't support running in hypervisor mode on POWER6, we just remove the handler at 0xe50. This also changes denorm_exception_hv to use EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 instead of open-coding it, and removes the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD from the relocation-on vectors (since any CPU that supports relocation-on interrupts also has the PPR).

This is a rewrite so that we don't assume we are using the DABR throughout the code. We now use the arch_hw_breakpoint to store the breakpoint in a generic manner in the thread_struct, rather than storing the raw DABR value. The ptrace GET/SET_DEBUGREG interface currently passes the raw DABR in from userspace. We keep this functionality, so that future changes (like the POWER8 DAWR), will still fake the DABR to userspace.

[PATCH 6/6] powerpc: Implement PPR save/restore When the task enters in to kernel space, the user defined priority (PPR) will be saved in to PACA at the beginning of first level exception vector and then copy from PACA to thread_info in second level vector. PPR will be restored from thread_info before exits the kernel space. P7/P8 temporarily raises the thread priority to higher level during exception until the program executes HMT_* calls. But it will not modify PPR register. So we save PPR value whenever some register is available to use and then calls HMT_MEDIUM to increase the priority. This feature supports on P7 or later processors. We save/ restore PPR for all exception vectors except system call entry. GLIBC will be saving / restore for system calls. So the default PPR value (3) will be set for the system call exit when the task returned to the user space.
