KVM: PPC: Book3s PR: Allow access to unprivileged MMCR2 register

2016-10-16T15:50:37+00:00

commit fa73c3b25bd8d0d393dc6109a1dba3c2aef0451e upstream. The MMCR2 register is available twice, one time with number 785 (privileged access), and one time with number 769 (unprivileged, but it can be disabled completely). In former times, the Linux kernel was using the unprivileged register 769 only, but since commit 8dd75ccb571f3c92c ("powerpc: Use privileged SPR number for MMCR2"), it uses the privileged register 785 instead. The KVM-PR code then of course also switched to use the SPR 785, but this is causing older guest kernels to crash, since these kernels still access 769 instead. So to support older kernels with KVM-PR again, we have to support register 769 in KVM-PR, too.

powerpc/pseries: use pci_host_bridge.release_fn() to kfree(phb)

2016-10-16T15:50:36+00:00

commit 2dd9c11b9d4dfbd6c070eab7b81197f65e82f1a0 upstream. This patch leverages 'struct pci_host_bridge' from the PCI subsystem in order to free the pci_controller only after the last reference to its devices is dropped (avoiding an oops in pcibios_release_device() if the last reference is dropped after pcibios_free_controller()). The patch relies on pci_host_bridge.release_fn() (and .release_data), which is called automatically by the PCI subsystem when the root bus is released (i.e., the last reference is dropped). Those fields are set via pci_set_host_bridge_release() (e.g. in the platform-specific implementation of pcibios_root_bridge_prepare()). It introduces the 'pcibios_free_controller_deferred()' .release_fn() and it expects .release_data to hold a pointer to the pci_controller. The function implictly calls 'pcibios_free_controller()', so an user must *NOT* explicitly call it if using the new _deferred() callback. The functionality is enabled for pseries (although it isn't platform specific, and may be used by cxl). Details on not-so-elegant design choices: - Use 'pci_host_bridge.release_data' field as pointer to associated 'struct pci_controller' so *not* to 'pci_bus_to_host(bridge->bus)' in pcibios_free_controller_deferred(). That's because pci_remove_root_bus() sets 'host_bridge->bus = NULL' (so, if the last reference is released after pci_remove_root_bus() runs, which eventually reaches pcibios_free_controller_deferred(), that would hit a null pointer dereference). The cxl/vphb.c code calls pci_remove_root_bus(), and the cxl folks are interested in this fix.

powerpc: Initialise pci_io_base as early as possible

2016-06-30T06:52:29+00:00

Commit d6a9996e84ac ("powerpc/mm: vmalloc abstraction in preparation for radix") turned kernel memory and IO addresses from #defined constants to variables initialised at runtime. On PA6T (pasemi) systems the setup_arch() machine call initialises the onboard PCI-e root-ports, and uses pci_io_base to do this, which is now before its value has been set, resulting in a panic early in boot before console IO is initialised. Move the pci_io_base initialisation to the same place as vmalloc ranges are set (hash__early_init_mmu()/radix__early_init_mmu()) - this is the earliest possible place we can initialise it.

powerpc: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT

2016-06-25T00:23:52+00:00

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. {pud,pmd}_alloc_one are allocating from {PGT,PUD}_CACHE initialized in pgtable_cache_init which doesn't have larger than sizeof(void *) << 12 size and that fits into !costly allocation request size. PGALLOC_GFP is used only in radix__pgd_alloc which uses either order-0 or order-4 requests. The first one doesn't need the flag while the second does. Drop __GFP_REPEAT from PGALLOC_GFP and add it for the order-4 one. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

tree wide: get rid of __GFP_REPEAT for order-0 allocations part I

2016-06-25T00:23:52+00:00

This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window hopefully. Motivation: While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of __GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another. I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is documented as * __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt * _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation. while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop for ever. This is not implemented right now though. I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic for it. $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l 111 $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l 36 So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later after all the simple ones are sorted out. I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from arch maintainers. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461849846-27209-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org This patch (of 19): __GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0 allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail). Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.

powerpc/mm/hash: Use the correct PPP mask when updating HPTE

2016-06-14T03:54:51+00:00

With commit e58e87adc8bf9 "powerpc/mm: Update _PAGE_KERNEL_RO" we now use all the three PPP bits. The top bit is now used to have a PPP value of 0b110 which will be mapped to kernel read only. When updating the hpte entry use right mask such that we update the 63rd bit (top 'P' bit) too. Prior to e58e87adc8bf we didn't support KERNEL_RO at all (it was == KERNEL_RW), so this isn't a regression as such.
