      powerpc: Fix emulation of illegal instructions on PowerNV platform · bf593907
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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.

      powerpc: Fix stack overflow crash in resume_kernel when ftracing · 0e37739b
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      It's possible for us to crash when running with ftrace enabled, eg:
      
        Bad kernel stack pointer bffffd12 at c00000000000a454
        cpu 0x3: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000000ffe3d40]
            pc: c00000000000a454: resume_kernel+0x34/0x60
            lr: c00000000000335c: performance_monitor_common+0x15c/0x180
            sp: bffffd12
           msr: 8000000000001032
           dar: bffffd12
         dsisr: 42000000
      
      If we look at current's stack (paca->__current->stack) we see it is
      equal to c0000002ecab0000. Our stack is 16K, and comparing to
      paca->kstack (c0000002ecab3e30) we can see that we have overflowed our
      kernel stack. This leads to us writing over our struct thread_info, and
      in this case we have corrupted thread_info->flags and set
      _TIF_EMULATE_STACK_STORE.
      
      Dumping the stack we see:

        ... and so on
      
      __ppc64_runlatch_on() is called from RUNLATCH_ON in the exception entry
      path. At that point the irq state is not consistent, ie. interrupts are
      hard disabled (by the exception entry), but the paca soft-enabled flag
      may be out of sync.
      
      This leads to the local_irq_restore() in trace_graph_entry() actually
      enabling interrupts, which we do not want. Because we have not yet
      reprogrammed the decrementer we immediately take another decrementer
      exception, and recurse.
      
      The fix is twofold. Firstly make sure we call DISABLE_INTS before
      calling RUNLATCH_ON. The badly named DISABLE_INTS actually reconciles
      the irq state in the paca with the hardware, making it safe again to
      call local_irq_save/restore().
      
      Although that should be sufficient to fix the bug, we also mark the
      runlatch routines as notrace. They are called very early in the
      exception entry and we are asking for trouble tracing them. They are
      also fairly uninteresting and tracing them just adds unnecessary
      overhead.
      
      [ This regression was introduced by fe1952fc
        "powerpc: Rework runlatch code" by myself --BenH
