2016-06-24powerpc/pseries: Add POWER8NVL support to ibm,client-architecture-support callThomas Huth1-0/+1
commit 7cc851039d643a2ee7df4d18177150f2c3a484f5 upstream. If we do not provide the PVR for POWER8NVL, a guest on this system currently ends up in PowerISA 2.06 compatibility mode on KVM, since QEMU does not provide a generic PowerISA 2.07 mode yet. So some new instructions from POWER8 (like "mtvsrd") get disabled for the guest, resulting in crashes when using code compiled explicitly for POWER8 (e.g. with the "-mcpu=power8" option of GCC).

2016-06-08powerpc/eeh: Restore initial state in eeh_pe_reset_and_recover()Gavin Shan1-0/+23
commit 5a0cdbfd17b90a89c64a71d8aec9773ecdb20d0d upstream. The function eeh_pe_reset_and_recover() is used to recover EEH error when the passthrou device are transferred to guest and backwards. The content in the device's config space will be lost on PE reset issued in the middle of the recovery. The function saves/restores it before/after the reset. However, config access to some adapters like Broadcom BCM5719 at this point will causes fenced PHB. The config space is always blocked and we save 0xFF's that are restored at late point. The memory BARs are totally corrupted, causing another EEH error upon access to one of the memory BARs. This restores the config space on those adapters like BCM5719 from the content saved to the EEH device when it's populated, to resolve above issue.

2016-06-08Revert "powerpc/eeh: Fix crash in eeh_add_device_early() on Cell"Guilherme G. Piccoli1-1/+1
commit c2078d9ef600bdbe568c89e5ddc2c6f15b7982c8 upstream. This reverts commit 89a51df5ab1d38b257300b8ac940bbac3bb0eb9b. The function eeh_add_device_early() is used to perform EEH initialization in devices added later on the system, like in hotplug/DLPAR scenarios. Since the commit 89a51df5ab1d ("powerpc/eeh: Fix crash in eeh_add_device_early() on Cell") a new check was introduced in this function - Cell has no EEH capabilities which led to kernel oops if hotplug was performed, so checking for eeh_enabled() was introduced to avoid the issue. However, in architectures that EEH is present like pSeries or PowerNV, we might reach a case in which no PCI devices are present on boot time and so EEH is not initialized. Then, if a device is added via DLPAR for example, eeh_add_device_early() fails because eeh_enabled() is false, and EEH end up not being enabled at all. This reverts the aforementioned patch since a new verification was introduced by the commit d91dafc02f42 ("powerpc/eeh: Delay probing EEH device during hotplug") and so the original Cell issue does not happen anymore.

2016-06-08powerpc/eeh: Don't report error in eeh_pe_reset_and_recover()Gavin Shan1-3/+0
commit affeb0f2d3a9af419ad7ef4ac782e1540b2f7b28 upstream. The function eeh_pe_reset_and_recover() is used to recover EEH error when the passthrough device are transferred to guest and backwards, meaning the device's driver is vfio-pci or none. When the driver is vfio-pci that provides error_detected() error handler only, the handler simply stops the guest and it's not expected behaviour. On the other hand, no error handlers will be called if we don't have a bound driver. This ignores the error handler in eeh_pe_reset_and_recover() that reports the error to device driver to avoid the exceptional behaviour.

2016-06-08powerpc/book3s64: Fix branching to OOL handlers in relocatable kernelHari Bathini1-5/+11
commit 8ed8ab40047a570fdd8043a40c104a57248dd3fd upstream. Some of the interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER server processors are only 32 bytes long (8 instructions), which is not enough for the full first-level interrupt handler. For these we need to branch to an out-of-line (OOL) handler. But when we are running a relocatable kernel, interrupt vectors till __end_interrupts marker are copied down to real address 0x100. So, branching to labels (ie. OOL handlers) outside this section must be handled differently (see LOAD_HANDLER()), considering relocatable kernel, which would need at least 4 instructions. However, branching from interrupt vector means that we corrupt the CFAR (come-from address register) on POWER7 and later processors as mentioned in commit 1707dd16. So, EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 (6 instructions) that contains the part up to the point where the CFAR is saved in the PACA should be part of the short interrupt vectors before we branch out to OOL handlers. But as mentioned already, there are interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER server processors that are only 32 bytes long (like vectors 0x4f00, 0x4f20, etc.), which cannot accomodate the above two cases at the same time owing to space constraint. Currently, in these interrupt vectors, we simply branch out to OOL handlers, without using LOAD_HANDLER(), which leaves us vulnerable when running a relocatable kernel (eg. kdump case). While this has been the case for sometime now and kdump is used widely, we were fortunate not to see any problems so far, for three reasons: 1. In almost all cases, production kernel (relocatable) is used for kdump as well, which would mean that crashed kernel's OOL handler would be at the same place where we end up branching to, from short interrupt vector of kdump kernel. 2. Also, OOL handler was unlikely the reason for crash in almost all the kdump scenarios, which meant we had a sane OOL handler from crashed kernel that we branched to. 3. On most 64-bit POWER server processors, page size is large enough that marking interrupt vector code as executable (see commit 429d2e83) leads to marking OOL handler code from crashed kernel, that sits right below interrupt vector code from kdump kernel, as executable as well. Let us fix this by moving the __end_interrupts marker down past OOL handlers to make sure that we also copy OOL handlers to real address 0x100 when running a relocatable kernel. This fix has been tested successfully in kdump scenario, on an LPAR with 4K page size by using different default/production kernel and kdump kernel. Also tested by manually corrupting the OOL handlers in the first kernel and then kdump'ing, and then causing the OOL handlers to fire - mpe.

2016-04-18powerpc: Update TM user feature bits in scan_features()Anton Blanchard1-4/+5
We need to update the user TM feature bits (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM and PPC_FEATURE2_HTM) to mirror what we do with the kernel TM feature bit. At the moment, if firmware reports TM is not available we turn off the kernel TM feature bit but leave the userspace ones on. Userspace thinks it can execute TM instructions and it dies trying. This (together with a QEMU patch) fixes PR KVM, which doesn't currently support TM.

2016-04-18powerpc: scan_features() updates incorrect bits for REAL_LEAnton Blanchard1-1/+1
The REAL_LE feature entry in the ibm_pa_feature struct is missing an MMU feature value, meaning all the remaining elements initialise the wrong values. This means instead of checking for byte 5, bit 0, we check for byte 0, bit 0, and then we incorrectly set the CPU feature bit as well as MMU feature bit 1 and CPU user feature bits 0 and 2 (5). Checking byte 0 bit 0 (IBM numbering), means we're looking at the "Memory Management Unit (MMU)" feature - ie. does the CPU have an MMU. In practice that bit is set on all platforms which have the property. This means we set CPU_FTR_REAL_LE always. In practice that seems not to matter because all the modern cpus which have this property also implement REAL_LE, and we've never needed to disable it. We're also incorrectly setting MMU feature bit 1, which is: #define MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx 0x00000002 Luckily the only place that looks for MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx is in Book3E code, which can't run on the same cpus as scan_features(). So this also doesn't matter in practice. Finally in the CPU user feature mask, we're setting bits 0 and 2. Bit 2 is not currently used, and bit 0 is: #define PPC_FEATURE_PPC_LE 0x00000001 Which says the CPU supports the old style "PPC Little Endian" mode. Again this should be harmless in practice as no 64-bit CPUs implement that mode. Fix the code by adding the missing initialisation of the MMU feature. Also add a comment marking CPU user feature bit 2 (0x4) as reserved. It would be unsafe to start using it as old kernels incorrectly set it.

In save_sprs() in process.c contains the following test: if (cpu_has_feature(cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC))) t->vrsave = mfspr(SPRN_VRSAVE); CPU feature with the mask 0x1 is CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE so the test is equivilent to: if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC) && cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE)) On CPUs without support for both (i.e G5) this results in vrsave not being saved between context switches. The vector register save/restore code doesn't use VRSAVE to determine which registers to save/restore, but the value of VRSAVE is used to determine if altivec is being used in several code paths.

2016-03-26arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sectionsAlexander Potapenko1-0/+1
KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler. This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the number of unique stack traces needed to be stored. Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the users don't need to pull in <linux/ftrace.h>. Also introduce the __softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

2016-03-16powerpc: Fix unrecoverable SLB miss during restore_math()Cyril Bur1-0/+9
Commit 70fe3d9 "powerpc: Restore FPU/VEC/VSX if previously used" introduces a call to restore_math() late in the syscall return path, after MSR_RI has been cleared. The MSR_RI flag is used to indicate whether the kernel can take another exception or not. A cleared MSR_RI flag indicates that the kernel cannot. Unfortunately when a machine is under SLB pressure an SLB miss can occur in restore_math() which (with MSR_RI cleared) leads to an unrecoverable exception. Unrecoverable exception 4100 at c0000000000088d8 cpu 0x0: Vector: 4100 at [c0000003fa473b20] pc: c0000000000088d8: .load_vr_state+0x70/0x110 lr: c00000000000f710: .restore_math+0x130/0x188 sp: c0000003fa473da0 msr: 9000000002003030 current = 0xc0000007f876f180 paca = 0xc00000000fff0000 softe: 0 irq_happened: 0x01 pid = 1944, comm = K08umountfs [link register ] c00000000000f710 .restore_math+0x130/0x188 [c0000003fa473da0] c0000003fa473e30 (unreliable) [c0000003fa473e30] c000000000007b6c system_call+0x84/0xfc The clearing of MSR_RI is actually an optimisation to avoid multiple MSR writes, what must be disabled are interrupts.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner: "This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework: - Initial implementation of the state machine - Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and not on some random processor - Replaces busy loop waiting with completions - Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed" More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email: "What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure? - Asymmetry The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and teardown. This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism. - Largely undocumented dependencies While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities, we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to express dependencies without any documentation why. - Control processor driven Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control processor. While it is understandable, that preperatory steps, like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot, there is no reason why everything else must run on a control processor. Before this patch series, bringup looks like this: Control CPU Booting CPU do preparatory steps kick cpu into life do low level init sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu bring the rest up - All or nothing approach There is no way to do partial bringups. That's something which is really desired because we waste e.g. at boot substantial amount of time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life. That's stupid as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level synchronization with the freshly booted cpu. - Minimal debuggability Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test the correctness. So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested. - Notifier [un]registering is tedious To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at every callsite. There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to do it itself. That also includes error rollback. What's the new design? The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well defined set of states. Each state is symmetric in the end, except for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be stopped and reversed at almost all states. So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future: Control CPU Booting CPU do preparatory steps kick cpu into life do low level init sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu bring itself up The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait. That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some other mechanism. The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans up and brings itself down. Cleanups which need to be done after the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well. There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a cpu is available. Today we set the cpu online right after it comes out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct. The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so general workloads can be scheduled on it. The reverse happens on teardown. First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it off completely. This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the core level. This includes the following: - Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so ordering and prioritization can be expressed. - Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in the state machine array. For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an explicit hotplug state. If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the previous state. - Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step. This is only partially functional today. Full functionality and therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme. - Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying processor: Control CPU Booting CPU do preparatory steps kick cpu into life do low level init sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu wait for boot bring itself up Signal completion to control cpu In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme. The balance is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code. This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a different approach. Instead of mechanically converting everything over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme. I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is completely buggered anyway. So there is no point to do a mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and testable behaviour" * 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) cpu/hotplug: Document states better cpu/hotplug: Fix smpboot thread ordering cpu/hotplug: Remove redundant state check cpu/hotplug: Plug death reporting race rcu: Make CPU_DYING_IDLE an explicit call cpu/hotplug: Make wait for dead cpu completion based cpu/hotplug: Let upcoming cpu bring itself fully up arch/hotplug: Call into idle with a proper state cpu/hotplug: Move online calls to hotplugged cpu cpu/hotplug: Create hotplug threads cpu/hotplug: Split out the state walk into functions cpu/hotplug: Unpark smpboot threads from the state machine cpu/hotplug: Move scheduler cpu_online notifier to hotplug core cpu/hotplug: Implement setup/removal interface cpu/hotplug: Make target state writeable cpu/hotplug: Add sysfs state interface cpu/hotplug: Hand in target state to _cpu_up/down cpu/hotplug: Convert the hotplugged cpu work to a state machine cpu/hotplug: Convert to a state machine for the control processor cpu/hotplug: Add tracepoints ...

2016-03-12powerpc/8xx: Map linear kernel RAM with 8M pagesChristophe Leroy1-2/+33
On a live running system (VoIP gateway for Air Trafic Control), over a 10 minutes period (with 277s idle), we get 87 millions DTLB misses and approximatly 35 secondes are spent in DTLB handler. This represents 5.8% of the overall time and even 10.8% of the non-idle time. Among those 87 millions DTLB misses, 15% are on user addresses and 85% are on kernel addresses. And within the kernel addresses, 93% are on addresses from the linear address space and only 7% are on addresses from the virtual address space. MPC8xx has no BATs but it has 8Mb page size. This patch implements mapping of kernel RAM using 8Mb pages, on the same model as what is done on the 40x. In 4k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 4Mb area: we map every two entries to the same 8Mb physical page. In each second entry, we add 4Mb to the page physical address to ease life of the FixupDAR routine. This is just ignored by HW. In 16k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 64Mb area: each PGD entry will point to the first page of the area. The DTLB handler adds the 3 bits from EPN to map the correct page. With this patch applied, we now get only 13 millions TLB misses during the 10 minutes period. The idle time has increased to 313s and the overall time spent in DTLB miss handler is 6.3s, which represents 1% of the overall time and 2.2% of non-idle time.

2016-03-09powerpc/eeh: eeh_pci_enable(): fix checking of post-request stateAndrew Donnellan1-1/+1
In eeh_pci_enable(), after making the request to set the new options, we call eeh_ops->wait_state() to check that the request finished successfully. At the moment, if eeh_ops->wait_state() returns 0, we return 0 without checking that it reflects the expected outcome. This can lead to callers further up the chain incorrectly assuming the slot has been successfully unfrozen and continuing to attempt recovery. On powernv, this will occur if pnv_eeh_get_pe_state() or pnv_eeh_get_phb_state() return 0, which in turn occurs if the relevant OPAL call returns OPAL_EEH_STOPPED_MMIO_DMA_FREEZE or OPAL_EEH_PHB_ERROR respectively. On pseries, this will occur if pseries_eeh_get_state() returns 0, which in turn occurs if RTAS reports that the PE is in the MMIO Stopped and DMA Stopped states. Obviously, none of these cases represent a successful completion of a request to thaw MMIO or DMA. Fix the check so that a wait_state() return value of 0 won't be considered successful for the EEH_OPT_THAW_MMIO or EEH_OPT_THAW_DMA cases.

When passing through SRIOV VFs to guest, we possibly encounter EEH error on PF. In this case, the VF PEs are put into frozen state. The error could be reported to guest before it's captured by the host. That means the guest could attempt to recover errors on VFs before host gets chance to recover errors on PFs. The VFs won't be recovered successfully. This enforces the recovery order for above case: the recovery on child PE in guest is hold until the recovery on parent PE in host is completed.

2016-03-09powerpc/eeh: powerpc/eeh: Support error recovery for VF PEWei Yang4-26/+124
PFs are enumerated on PCI bus, while VFs are created by PF's driver. In EEH recovery, it has two cases: 1. Device and driver is EEH aware, error handlers are called. 2. Device and driver is not EEH aware, un-plug the device and plug it again by enumerating it. The special thing happens on the second case. For a PF, we could use the original pci core to enumerate the bus, while for VF we need to record the VFs which aer un-plugged then plug it again. Also The patch caches the VF index in pci_dn, which can be used to calculate VF's bus, device and function number. Those information helps to locate the VF's PCI device instance when doing hotplug during EEH recovery if necessary.

2016-03-07powerpc/ftrace: Add support for -mprofile-kernel ftrace ABITorsten Duwe3-20/+298
The gcc switch -mprofile-kernel defines a new ABI for calling _mcount() very early in the function with minimal overhead. Although mprofile-kernel has been available since GCC 3.4, there were bugs which were only fixed recently. Currently it is known to work in GCC 4.9, 5 and 6. Additionally there are two possible code sequences generated by the flag, the first uses mflr/std/bl and the second is optimised to omit the std. Currently only gcc 6 has the optimised sequence. This patch supports both sequences. Initial work started by Vojtech Pavlik, used with permission. Key changes: - rework _mcount() to work for both the old and new ABIs. - implement new versions of ftrace_caller() and ftrace_graph_caller() which deal with the new ABI. - updates to __ftrace_make_nop() to recognise the new mcount calling sequence. - updates to __ftrace_make_call() to recognise the nop'ed sequence. - implement ftrace_modify_call(). - updates to the module loader to surpress the toc save in the module stub when calling mcount with the new ABI.

In order to support the new -mprofile-kernel ABI, we need to be able to call from the module back to ftrace_caller() (in the kernel) without using the module's r2. That is because the function in this module which is calling ftrace_caller() may not have setup r2, if it doesn't otherwise need it (ie. it accesses no globals). To make that work we add a new stub which is used for calling ftrace_caller(), which uses the kernel toc instead of the module toc.

2016-03-07powerpc/module: Mark module stubs with a magic valueMichael Ellerman2-62/+30
When a module is loaded, calls out to the kernel go via a stub which is generated at runtime. One of these stubs is used to call _mcount(), which is the default target of tracing calls generated by the compiler with -pg. If dynamic ftrace is enabled (which it typically is), another stub is used to call ftrace_caller(), which is the target of tracing calls when ftrace is actually active. ftrace then wants to disable the calls to _mcount() at module startup, and enable/disable the calls to ftrace_caller() when enabling/disabling tracing - all of these it does by patching the code. As part of that code patching, the ftrace code wants to confirm that the branch it is about to modify, is in fact a call to a module stub which calls _mcount() or ftrace_caller(). Currently it does that by inspecting the instructions and confirming they are what it expects. Although that works, the code to do it is pretty intricate because it requires lots of knowledge about the exact format of the stub. We can make that process easier by marking the generated stubs with a magic value, and then looking for that magic value. Altough this is not as rigorous as the current method, I believe it is sufficient in practice.

2016-03-07powerpc/module: Only try to generate the ftrace_caller() stub onceMichael Ellerman3-14/+33
Currently we generate the module stub for ftrace_caller() at the bottom of apply_relocate_add(). However apply_relocate_add() is potentially called more than once per module, which means we will try to generate the ftrace_caller() stub multiple times. Although the current code deals with that correctly, ie. it only generates a stub the first time, it would be clearer to only try to generate the stub once. Note also on first reading it may appear that we generate a different stub for each section that requires relocation, but that is not the case. The code in stub_for_addr() that searches for an existing stub uses sechdrs[me->arch.stubs_section], ie. the single stub section for this module. A cleaner approach is to only generate the ftrace_caller() stub once, from module_finalize(). Although the original code didn't check to see if the stub was actually generated correctly, it seems prudent to add a check, so do that. And an additional benefit is we can clean the ifdefs up a little. Finally we must propagate the const'ness of some of the pointers passed to module_finalize(), but that is also an improvement.
