The Kconfig symbol SERIAL_TEXT_DEBUG was removed from arch/powerpc/Kconfig.debug in v2.6.22. (In v2.6.27 it was also removed from arch/ppc/Kconfig.debug.) So the check for its macro has evaluated to false for over five years now. Remove that check and the few lines of code hidden behind it.

Basically, this patch does the following: 1. Move the codes of parsing boot parameters from setup-common.c to driver. In this way, code reader can know directly that there are boot parameters that can change the timeout. 2. Make boot parameter 'booke_wdt_period' effective. currently, when driver is loaded, default timeout is always being used in stead of booke_wdt_period. 3. Wrap up the watchdog timeout in device struct and clean up unnecessary codes.

We have a bug in our hugepage handling which exhibits as an infinite loop of hash faults. If the fault is being taken in the kernel it will typically trigger the softlockup detector, or the RCU stall detector. The bug is as follows: 1. mmap(0xa0000000, ..., MAP_FIXED | MAP_HUGE_TLB | MAP_ANONYMOUS ..) 2. Slice code converts the slice psize to 16M. 3. The code on lines 539-540 of slice.c in slice_get_unmapped_area() synchronises the mm->context with the paca->context. So the paca slice mask is updated to include the 16M slice. 3. Either: * mmap() fails because there are no huge pages available. * mmap() succeeds and the mapping is then munmapped. In both cases the slice psize remains at 16M in both the paca & mm. 4. mmap(0xa0000000, ..., MAP_FIXED | MAP_ANONYMOUS ..) 5. The slice psize is converted back to 64K. Because of the check on line 539 of slice.c we DO NOT update the paca->context. The paca slice mask is now out of sync with the mm slice mask. 6. User/kernel accesses 0xa0000000. 7. The SLB miss handler slb_allocate_realmode() **uses the paca slice mask** to create an SLB entry and inserts it in the SLB. 18. With the 16M SLB entry in place the hardware does a hash lookup, no entry is found so a data access exception is generated. 19. The data access handler calls do_page_fault() -> handle_mm_fault(). 10. __handle_mm_fault() creates a THP mapping with do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page(). 11. The hardware retries the access, there is still nothing in the hash table so once again a data access exception is generated. 12. hash_page() calls into __hash_page_thp() and inserts a mapping in the hash. Although the THP mapping maps 16M the hashing is done using 64K as the segment page size. 13. hash_page() returns immediately after calling __hash_page_thp(), skipping over the code at line 1125. Resulting in the mismatch between the paca->context and mm->context not being detected. 14. The hardware retries the access, the hash it generates using the 16M SLB entry does NOT match the hash we inserted. 15. We take another data access and go into __hash_page_thp(). 16. We see a valid entry in the hpte_slot_array and so we call updatepp() which succeeds. 17. Goto 14. We could fix this in two ways. The first would be to remove or modify the check on line 539 of slice.c. The second option is to cause the check of paca psize in hash_page() on line 1125 to also be done for THP pages. We prefer the latter, because the check & update of the paca psize is not done until we know it's necessary. It's also done only on the current cpu, so we don't need to IPI all other cpus. Without further rearranging the code, the simplest fix is to pull out the code that checks paca psize and call it in two places. Firstly for THP/hugetlb, and secondly for other mappings as before.

We had a mix & match of flags used when creating legacy ports depending on where we found them in the device-tree. Among others we were missing UPF_SKIP_TEST for some kind of ISA ports which is a problem as quite a few UARTs out there don't support the loopback test (such as a lot of BMCs). Let's pick the set of flags used by the SoC code and generalize it which means autoconf, no loopback test, irq maybe shared and fixed port.

When it was introduced, zone_reclaim_mode made sense as NUMA distances punished and workloads were generally partitioned to fit into a NUMA node. NUMA machines are now common but few of the workloads are NUMA-aware and it's routine to see major performance degradation due to zone_reclaim_mode being enabled but relatively few can identify the problem. Those that require zone_reclaim_mode are likely to be able to detect when it needs to be enabled and tune appropriately so lets have a sensible default for the bulk of users. This patch (of 2): zone_reclaim_mode causes processes to prefer reclaiming memory from local node instead of spilling over to other nodes. This made sense initially when NUMA machines were almost exclusively HPC and the workload was partitioned into nodes. The NUMA penalties were sufficiently high to justify reclaiming the memory. On current machines and workloads it is often the case that zone_reclaim_mode destroys performance but not all users know how to detect this. Favour the common case and disable it by default. Users that are sophisticated enough to know they need zone_reclaim_mode will detect it.

_PAGE_NUMA is currently an alias of _PROT_PROTNONE to trap NUMA hinting faults on x86. Care is taken such that _PAGE_NUMA is used only in situations where the VMA flags distinguish between NUMA hinting faults and prot_none faults. This decision was x86-specific and conceptually it is difficult requiring special casing to distinguish between PROTNONE and NUMA ptes based on context. Fundamentally, we only need the _PAGE_NUMA bit to tell the difference between an entry that is really unmapped and a page that is protected for NUMA hinting faults as if the PTE is not present then a fault will be trapped. Swap PTEs on x86-64 use the bits after _PAGE_GLOBAL for the offset. This patch shrinks the maximum possible swap size and uses the bit to uniquely distinguish between NUMA hinting ptes and swap ptes.

Currently hugepage migration is available for all archs which support pmd-level hugepage, but testing is done only for x86_64 and there're bugs for other archs. So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other archs get interested in enabling this feature. Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage migration is supported in vma_migratable().

On LPAR guest systems Linux enables the shadow SLB to indicate to the hypervisor a number of SLB entries that always have to be available. Today we go through this shadow SLB and disable all ESID's valid bits. However, pHyp doesn't like this approach very much and honors us with fancy machine checks. Fortunately the shadow SLB descriptor also has an entry that indicates the number of valid entries following. During the lifetime of a guest we can just swap that value to 0 and don't have to worry about the SLB restoration magic. While we're touching the code, let's also make it more readable (get rid of rldicl), allow it to deal with a dynamic number of bolted SLB entries and only do shadow SLB swizzling on LPAR systems.

This adds workarounds for two hardware bugs in the POWER8 performance monitor unit (PMU), both related to interrupt generation. The effect of these bugs is that PMU interrupts can get lost, leading to tools such as perf reporting fewer counts and samples than they should. The first bug relates to the PMAO (perf. mon. alert occurred) bit in MMCR0; setting it should cause an interrupt, but doesn't. The other bug relates to the PMAE (perf. mon. alert enable) bit in MMCR0. Setting PMAE when a counter is negative and counter negative conditions are enabled to cause alerts should cause an alert, but doesn't. The workaround for the first bug is to create conditions where a counter will overflow, whenever we are about to restore a MMCR0 value that has PMAO set (and PMAO_SYNC clear). The workaround for the second bug is to freeze all counters using MMCR2 before reading MMCR0. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Current, when testing whether a page is dirty (when constructing the bitmap for the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl), we test the C (changed) bit in the HPT entries mapping the page, and if it is 0, we consider the page to be clean. However, the Power ISA doesn't require processors to set the C bit to 1 immediately when writing to a page, and in fact allows them to delay the writeback of the C bit until they receive a TLB invalidation for the page. Thus it is possible that the page could be dirty and we miss it. Now, if there are vcpus running, this is not serious since the collection of the dirty log is racy already - some vcpu could dirty the page just after we check it. But if there are no vcpus running we should return definitive results, in case we are in the final phase of migrating the guest. Also, if the permission bits in the HPTE don't allow writing, then we know that no CPU can set C. If the HPTE was previously writable and the page was modified, any C bit writeback would have been flushed out by the tlbie that we did when changing the HPTE to read-only. Otherwise we need to do a TLB invalidation even if the C bit is 0, and then check the C bit. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

The dirty map that we construct for the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl has one bit per system page (4K/64K). Currently, we only set one bit in the map for each HPT entry with the Change bit set, even if the HPT is for a large page (e.g., 16MB). Userspace then considers only the first system page dirty, though in fact the guest may have modified anywhere in the large page. To fix this, we make kvm_test_clear_dirty() return the actual number of pages that are dirty (and rename it to kvm_test_clear_dirty_npages() to emphasize that that's what it returns). In kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log() we then set that many bits in the dirty map.

Currently, when a huge page is faulted in for a guest, we select the rmap chain to insert the HPTE into based on the guest physical address that the guest tried to access. Since there is an rmap chain for each system page, there are many rmap chains for the area covered by a huge page (e.g. 256 for 16MB pages when PAGE_SIZE = 64kB), and the huge-page HPTE could end up in any one of them. For consistency, and to make the huge-page HPTEs easier to find, we now put huge-page HPTEs in the rmap chain corresponding to the base address of the huge page.

The global_invalidates() function contains a check that is intended to tell whether we are currently executing in the context of a hypercall issued by the guest. The reason is that the optimization of using a local TLB invalidate instruction is only valid in that context. The check was testing local_paca->kvm_hstate.kvm_vcore, which gets set when entering the guest but no longer gets cleared when exiting the guest. To fix this, we use the kvm_vcpu field instead, which does get cleared when exiting the guest, by the kvmppc_release_hwthread() calls inside kvmppc_run_core(). The effect of having the check wrong was that when kvmppc_do_h_remove() got called from htab_write() on the destination machine during a migration, it cleared the current cpu's bit in kvm->arch.need_tlb_flush. This meant that when the guest started running in the destination VM, it may miss out on doing a complete TLB flush, and therefore may end up using stale TLB entries from a previous guest that used the same LPID value. This should make migration more reliable. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

We worked around some nasty KVM magic page hcall breakages: 1) NX bit not honored, so ignore NX when we detect it 2) LE guests swizzle hypercall instruction Without these fixes in place, there's no way it would make sense to expose kvm hypercalls to a guest. Chances are immensely high it would trip over and break. So add a new CAP that gives user space a hint that we have workarounds for the bugs above in place.

However, since commit b18db0b8 we have successfully fixed that and can now leave NX enabled, so tell the hypervisor about this. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Old guests try to use the magic page, but map their trampoline code inside of an NX region. Since we can't fix those old kernels, try to detect whether the guest is sane or not. If not, just disable NX functionality in KVM so that old guests at least work at all. For newer guests, add a bit that we can set to keep NX functionality available.
