Move the MSR modification into c. Removing it from the assembly function will allow us to avoid costly MSR writes by batching them up. Check the FP and VMX bits before calling the relevant giveup_*() function. This makes giveup_vsx() and flush_vsx_to_thread() perform more like their sister functions, and allows us to use flush_vsx_to_thread() in the signal code. Move the check_if_tm_restore_required() check in. Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

The UP only lazy floating point and vector optimisations were written back when SMP was not common, and neither glibc nor gcc used vector instructions. Now SMP is very common, glibc aggressively uses vector instructions and gcc autovectorises. We want to add new optimisations that apply to both UP and SMP, but in preparation for that remove these UP only optimisations.

Move all our context switch SPR save and restore code into two helpers. We do a few optimisations: - Group all mfsprs and all mtsprs. In many cases an mtspr sets a scoreboarding bit that an mfspr waits on, so the current practise of mfspr A; mtspr A; mfpsr B; mtspr B is the worst scheduling we can do. - SPR writes are slow, so check that the value is changing before writing it. A context switch microbenchmark using yield(): http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/context_switch2.c ./context_switch2 --test=yield 0 0 shows an improvement of almost 10% on POWER8.

Currently tm_orig_msr is getting used during process context switch only. Then there is ckpt_regs which saves the checkpointed userspace context The MSR slot contained in ckpt_regs structure can be used during process context switch instead of tm_orig_msr, thus allowing us to drop it from thread_struct structure.

Back in 2009 we merged 501cb16d "Randomise PIEs", which added support for randomizing PIE (Position Independent Executable) binaries. That commit added randomize_et_dyn(), which correctly randomized the addresses, but failed to honor PF_RANDOMIZE. That means it was not possible to disable PIE randomization via the personality flag, or /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space. Since then there has been generic support for PIE randomization added to binfmt_elf.c, selectable via ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE. Enabling that allows us to drop randomize_et_dyn(), which means we start honoring PF_RANDOMIZE correctly. It also causes a fairly major change to how we layout PIE binaries. Currently we will place the binary at 512MB-520MB for 32 bit binaries, or 512MB-1.5GB for 64 bit binaries, eg: $ cat /proc/$$/maps 4e550000-4e580000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 129813 /bin/dash 4e580000-4e590000 rw-p 00020000 08:02 129813 /bin/dash 10014110000-10014140000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] 3fffaa3f0000-3fffaa5a0000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 921 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so 3fffaa5a0000-3fffaa5b0000 rw-p 001a0000 08:02 921 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so 3fffaa5c0000-3fffaa5d0000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 3fffaa5d0000-3fffaa5f0000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 3fffaa5f0000-3fffaa620000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 1246 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so 3fffaa620000-3fffaa630000 rw-p 00020000 08:02 1246 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so 3ffffc340000-3ffffc370000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] With this commit applied we don't do any special randomisation for the binary, and instead rely on mmap randomisation.

This still has not been merged and now powerpc is the only arch that does not have this change. Sorry about missing linuxppc-dev before. V2->V2 - Fix up to work against 3.18-rc1 __get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor based on an offset. Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when writing data or on the right side of an assignment. __get_cpu_var() is defined as : __get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on other platforms) to avoid the address calculation. this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu variables. This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers are used when code is generated. At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so the macro is removed too. The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86 arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global register that may be set to the per cpu base.

Li Zhong points out an issue with our current __get_SP() implementation. If ftrace function tracing is enabled (ie -pg profiling using _mcount) we spill a stack frame on 64bit all the time. If a function calls __get_SP() and later calls a function that is tail call optimised, we will pop the stack frame and the value returned by __get_SP() is no longer valid. An example from Li can be found in save_stack_trace -> save_context_stack: c0000000000432c0 <.save_stack_trace>: c0000000000432c0: mflr r0 c0000000000432c4: std r0,16(r1) c0000000000432c8: stdu r1,-128(r1) <-- stack frame for _mcount c0000000000432cc: std r3,112(r1) c0000000000432d0: bl <._mcount> c0000000000432d4: nop c0000000000432d8: mr r4,r1 <-- __get_SP() c0000000000432dc: ld r5,632(r13) c0000000000432e0: ld r3,112(r1) c0000000000432e4: li r6,1 c0000000000432e8: addi r1,r1,128 <-- pop stack frame c0000000000432ec: ld r0,16(r1) c0000000000432f0: mtlr r0 c0000000000432f4: b <.save_context_stack> <-- tail call optimized save_context_stack ends up with a stack pointer below the current one, and it is likely to be scribbled over. Fix this by making __get_SP() a function which returns the callers stack frame. Also replace inline assembly which grabs the stack pointer in save_stack_trace and show_stack with __get_SP(). This also fixes an issue with perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs(). It currently unwinds the stack once, which will skip a valid stack frame on a leaf function. With the __get_SP() fixes in this patch, we never need to unwind the stack frame to get to the first interesting frame. We have to export __get_SP() because perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() (which is used in modules) calls it from a header file.

Correct the DSCR SPR becoming temporarily corrupted if a task is context switched during a transaction. The problem occurs while suspending the task and is caused by saving the DSCR to thread.dscr after it has already been set to the CPU's default value: __switch_to() calls __switch_to_tm() which calls tm_reclaim_task() which calls tm_reclaim_thread() which calls tm_reclaim() where the DSCR is set to the CPU's default __switch_to() calls _switch() where thread.dscr is set to the DSCR When the task is resumed, it's transaction will be doomed (as usual) and the DSCR SPR will be corrupted, although the checkpointed value will be correct. Therefore the DSCR will be immediately corrected by the transaction aborting, unless it has been suspended. In that case the incorrect value can be seen by the task until it resumes the transaction. The fix is to treat the DSCR similarly to the TAR and save it early in __switch_to(). A program exposing the problem is added to the kernel self tests as: tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/tm/tm-resched-dscr.

We've hit this when running some IBM Java stress tests in the lab resulting in the following dump: cpu 0x3f: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c000000007eb3d40] pc: c000000000050074: restore_gprs+0xc0/0x148 lr: 00000000b52a8184 sp: ac57d360 msr: 8000000100201030 current = 0xc00000002c500000 paca = 0xc000000007dbfc00 softe: 0 irq_happened: 0x00 pid = 34535, comm = Pooled Thread # R00 = 00000000b52a8184 R16 = 00000000b3e48fda R01 = 00000000ac57d360 R17 = 00000000ade79bd8 R02 = 00000000ac586930 R18 = 000000000fac9bcc R03 = 00000000ade60000 R19 = 00000000ac57f930 R04 = 00000000f6624918 R20 = 00000000ade79be8 R05 = 00000000f663f238 R21 = 00000000ac218a54 R06 = 0000000000000002 R22 = 000000000f956280 R07 = 0000000000000008 R23 = 000000000000007e R08 = 000000000000000a R24 = 000000000000000c R09 = 00000000b6e69160 R25 = 00000000b424cf00 R10 = 0000000000000181 R26 = 00000000f66256d4 R11 = 000000000f365ec0 R27 = 00000000b6fdcdd0 R12 = 00000000f66400f0 R28 = 0000000000000001 R13 = 00000000ada71900 R29 = 00000000ade5a300 R14 = 00000000ac2185a8 R30 = 00000000f663f238 R15 = 0000000000000004 R31 = 00000000f6624918 pc = c000000000050074 restore_gprs+0xc0/0x148 cfar= c00000000004fe28 dont_restore_vec+0x1c/0x1a4 lr = 00000000b52a8184 msr = 8000000100201030 cr = 24804888 ctr = 0000000000000000 xer = 0000000000000000 trap = 700 This moves tm_recheckpoint to a C function and moves the tm_restore_sprs into that function. It then adds IRQ disabling over the trechkpt critical section. It also sets the TEXASR FS in the signals code to ensure this is never set now that we explictly write the TM sprs in tm_recheckpoint.

When we fork/clone we currently don't copy any of the TM state to the new thread. This results in a TM bad thing (program check) when the new process is switched in as the kernel does a tmrechkpt with TEXASR FS not set. Also, since R1 is from userspace, we trigger the bad kernel stack pointer detection. So we end up with something like this: Bad kernel stack pointer 0 at c0000000000404fc cpu 0x2: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c00000003ffefd40] pc: c0000000000404fc: restore_gprs+0xc0/0x148 lr: 0000000000000000 sp: 0 msr: 9000000100201030 current = 0xc000001dd1417c30 paca = 0xc00000000fe00800 softe: 0 irq_happened: 0x01 pid = 0, comm = swapper/2 WARNING: exception is not recoverable, can't continue The below fixes this by flushing the TM state before we copy the task_struct to the clone. To do this we go through the tmreclaim patch, which removes the checkpointed registers from the CPU and transitions the CPU out of TM suspend mode. Hence we need to call tmrechkpt after to restore the checkpointed state and the TM mode for the current task. To make this fail from userspace is simply: tbegin li r0, 2 sc <boom> Kudos to Adhemerval Zanella Neto for finding this.

Currently, when we have a process using the transactional memory facilities on POWER8 (that is, the processor is in transactional or suspended state), and the process enters the kernel and the kernel then uses the floating-point or vector (VMX/Altivec) facility, we end up corrupting the user-visible FP/VMX/VSX state. This happens, for example, if a page fault causes a copy-on-write operation, because the copy_page function will use VMX to do the copy on POWER8. The test program below demonstrates the bug. The bug happens because when FP/VMX state for a transactional process is stored in the thread_struct, we store the checkpointed state in .fp_state/.vr_state and the transactional (current) state in .transact_fp/.transact_vr. However, when the kernel wants to use FP/VMX, it calls enable_kernel_fp() or enable_kernel_altivec(), which saves the current state in .fp_state/.vr_state. Furthermore, when we return to the user process we return with FP/VMX/VSX disabled. The next time the process uses FP/VMX/VSX, we don't know which set of state (the current register values, .fp_state/.vr_state, or .transact_fp/.transact_vr) we should be using, since we have no way to tell if we are still in the same transaction, and if not, whether the previous transaction succeeded or failed. Thus it is necessary to strictly adhere to the rule that if FP has been enabled at any point in a transaction, we must keep FP enabled for the user process with the current transactional state in the FP registers, until we detect that it is no longer in a transaction. Similarly for VMX; once enabled it must stay enabled until the process is no longer transactional. In order to keep this rule, we add a new thread_info flag which we test when returning from the kernel to userspace, called TIF_RESTORE_TM. This flag indicates that there is FP/VMX/VSX state to be restored before entering userspace, and when it is set the .tm_orig_msr field in the thread_struct indicates what state needs to be restored. The restoration is done by restore_tm_state(). The TIF_RESTORE_TM bit is set by new giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional helpers, which are called from enable_kernel_fp/altivec, giveup_vsx, and flush_fp/altivec_to_thread instead of giveup_fpu/altivec. The other thing to be done is to get the transactional FP/VMX/VSX state from .fp_state/.vr_state when doing reclaim, if that state has been saved there by giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional. Having done this, we set the FP/VMX bit in the thread's MSR after reclaim to indicate that that part of the state is now valid (having been reclaimed from the processor's checkpointed state). Finally, in the signal handling code, we move the clearing of the transactional state bits in the thread's MSR a bit earlier, before calling flush_fp_to_thread(), so that we don't unnecessarily set the TIF_RESTORE_TM bit. This is the test program: /* Michael Neuling 4/12/2013 * * See if the altivec state is leaked out of an aborted transaction due to * kernel vmx copy loops. * * gcc -m64 htm_vmxcopy.c -o htm_vmxcopy * */ /* We don't use all of these, but for reference: */ int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { long double vecin = 1.3; long double vecout; unsigned long pgsize = getpagesize(); int i; int fd; int size = pgsize*16; char tmpfile[] = "/tmp/page_faultXXXXXX"; char buf[pgsize]; char *a; uint64_t aborted = 0; fd = mkstemp(tmpfile); assert(fd >= 0); memset(buf, 0, pgsize); for (i = 0; i < size; i += pgsize) assert(write(fd, buf, pgsize) == pgsize); unlink(tmpfile); a = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0); assert(a != MAP_FAILED); asm __volatile__( "lxvd2x 40,0,%[vecinptr] ; " // set 40 to initial value TBEGIN "beq 3f ;" TSUSPEND "xxlxor 40,40,40 ; " // set 40 to 0 "std 5, 0(%[map]) ;" // cause kernel vmx copy page TABORT TRESUME TEND "li %[res], 0 ;" "b 5f ;" "3: ;" // Abort handler "li %[res], 1 ;" "5: ;" "stxvd2x 40,0,%[vecoutptr] ; " : [res]"=r"(aborted) : [vecinptr]"r"(&vecin), [vecoutptr]"r"(&vecout), [map]"r"(a) : "memory", "r0", "r3", "r4", "r5", "r6", "r7"); if (aborted && (vecin != vecout)){ printf("FAILED: vector state leaked on abort %f != %f\n", (double)vecin, (double)vecout); exit(1); } munmap(a, size); close(fd); printf("PASSED!\n"); return 0; } Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>. Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next. The one instance where we add an include for init.h covers off a case where that file was implicitly getting it from another header which itself didn't need it.

The e500 SPE floating-point emulation code clears existing exceptions (__FPU_FPSCR &= ~FP_EX_MASK;) before ORing in the exceptions from the emulated operation. However, these exception bits are the "sticky", cumulative exception bits, and should only be cleared by the user program setting SPEFSCR, not implicitly by any floating-point instruction (whether executed purely by the hardware or emulated). The spurious clearing of these bits shows up as missing exceptions in glibc testing. Fixing this, however, is not as simple as just not clearing the bits, because while the bits may be from previous floating-point operations (in which case they should not be cleared), the processor can also set the sticky bits itself before the interrupt for an exception occurs, and this can happen in cases when IEEE 754 semantics are that the sticky bit should not be set. Specifically, the "invalid" sticky bit is set in various cases with non-finite operands, where IEEE 754 semantics do not involve raising such an exception, and the "underflow" sticky bit is set in cases of exact underflow, whereas IEEE 754 semantics are that this flag is set only for inexact underflow. Thus, for correct emulation the kernel needs to know the setting of these two sticky bits before the instruction being emulated. When a floating-point operation raises an exception, the kernel can note the state of the sticky bits immediately afterwards. Some <fenv.h> functions that affect the state of these bits, such as fesetenv and feholdexcept, need to use prctl with PR_GET_FPEXC and PR_SET_FPEXC anyway, and so it is natural to record the state of those bits during that call into the kernel and so avoid any need for a separate call into the kernel to inform it of a change to those bits. Thus, the interface I chose to use (in this patch and the glibc port) is that one of those prctl calls must be made after any userspace change to those sticky bits, other than through a floating-point operation that traps into the kernel anyway. feclearexcept and fesetexceptflag duly make those calls, which would not be required were it not for this issue. The previous EGLIBC port, and the uClibc code copied from it, is fundamentally broken as regards any use of prctl for floating-point exceptions because it didn't use the PR_FP_EXC_SW_ENABLE bit in its prctl calls (and did various worse things, such as passing a pointer when prctl expected an integer). If you avoid anything where prctl is used, the clearing of sticky bits still means it will never give anything approximating correct exception semantics with existing kernels. I don't believe the patch makes things any worse for existing code that doesn't try to inform the kernel of changes to sticky bits - such code may get incorrect exceptions in some cases, but it would have done so anyway in other cases.

Commit ce11e48b ("KVM: PPC: E500: Add userspace debug stub support") added "struct thread_struct" to the stack of kvmppc_vcpu_run(). thread_struct is 1152 bytes on my build, compared to 48 bytes for the recently-introduced "struct debug_reg". Use the latter instead. This fixes the following error: cc1: warnings being treated as errors arch/powerpc/kvm/booke.c: In function 'kvmppc_vcpu_run': arch/powerpc/kvm/booke.c:760:1: error: the frame size of 1424 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kvm/booke.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kvm] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
