      powerpc: Ensure .mem(init|exit).text are within _stext/_etext · 7de3b27b
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      In our linker script we open code the list of text sections, because we
      need to include the __ftr_alt sections, which are arch-specific.
      
      This means we can't use TEXT_TEXT as defined in vmlinux.lds.h, and so we
      don't have the MEM_KEEP() logic for memory hotplug sections.
      
      If we build the kernel with the gold linker, and with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y,
      we see that functions marked __meminit can end up outside of the
      _stext/_etext range, and also outside of _sinittext/_einittext, eg:
      
          c000000000000000 T _stext
          c0000000009e0000 A _etext
          c0000000009e3f18 T hash__vmemmap_create_mapping
          c000000000ca0000 T _sinittext
          c000000000d00844 T _einittext
      
      This causes them to not be recognised as text by is_kernel_text(), and
      prevents them being patched by jump_label (and presumably ftrace/kprobes
      etc.).
      
      Fix it by adding MEM_KEEP() directives, mirroring what TEXT_TEXT does.
      
      This isn't a problem when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n, because we use the
      standard INIT_TEXT_SECTION() and EXIT_TEXT macros from vmlinux.lds.h.

      powerpc: Don't change the section in _GLOBAL() · bea2dccc
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      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.
      
      I verified that the order of all entries in System.map is unchanged
      after this patch. The actual addresses shift around slightly so you
      can't just diff the System.map.

      powerpc/kernel: Use kprobe blacklist for asm functions · 6f698df1
      Nicholas Piggin 提交于
      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.

      powerpc: Use kprobe blacklist for exception handlers · 03465f89
      Nicholas Piggin 提交于
      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.

      powerpc: signals: Discard transaction state from signal frames · 78a3e888
      Cyril Bur 提交于
      Userspace can begin and suspend a transaction within the signal
      handler which means they might enter sys_rt_sigreturn() with the
      processor in suspended state.
      
      sys_rt_sigreturn() wants to restore process context (which may have
      been in a transaction before signal delivery). To do this it must
      restore TM SPRS. To achieve this, any transaction initiated within the
      signal frame must be discarded in order to be able to restore TM SPRs
      as TM SPRs can only be manipulated non-transactionally..

      It isn't clear exactly if there is really a use case for userspace
      returning with a suspended transaction, however, doing so doesn't (on
      its own) constitute a bad frame. As such, this patch simply discards
      the transactional state of the context calling the sigreturn and
      continues.

      powerpc/powernv : Drop reference added by kset_find_obj() · a9cbf0b2
      Mukesh Ojha 提交于
      In a situation, where Linux kernel gets notified about duplicate error log
      from OPAL, it is been observed that kernel fails to remove sysfs entries
      (/sys/firmware/opal/elog/0xXXXXXXXX) of such error logs. This is because,
      we currently search the error log/dump kobject in the kset list via
      'kset_find_obj()' routine. Which eventually increment the reference count
      by one, once it founds the kobject.
      
      So, unless we decrement the reference count by one after it found the kobject,
      we would not be able to release the kobject properly later.
      
      This patch adds the 'kobject_put()' which was missing earlier.
