While registering nest imc at init, cpu-hotplug callback
nest_pmu_cpumask_init() makes an OPAL call to stop the engine. And if
the OPAL call fails, imc_common_cpuhp_mem_free() is invoked to cleanup
memory and cpuhotplug setup.
But when cleaning up the attribute group, we are dereferencing the
attribute element array without checking whether the backing element
is not NULL. This causes the kernel panic.
Add a check for the backing element prior to dereferencing the
attribute element, to handle the failing case gracefully.

Nest/core pmu units are enabled only when it is used. A reference count is
maintained for the events which uses the nest/core pmu units. Currently in
*_imc_counters_release function a WARN() is used for notification of any
underflow of ref count.
The case where event ref count hit a negative value is, when perf session is
started, followed by offlining of all cpus in a given core.
i.e. in cpuhotplug offline path ppc_core_imc_cpu_offline() function set the
ref->count to zero, if the current cpu which is about to offline is the last
cpu in a given core and make an OPAL call to disable the engine in that core.
And on perf session termination, perf->destroy (core_imc_counters_release) will
first decrement the ref->count for this core and based on the ref->count value
an opal call is made to disable the core-imc engine.
Now, since cpuhotplug path already clears the ref->count for core and disabled
the engine, perf->destroy() decrementing again at event termination make it
negative which in turn fires the WARN_ON. The same happens for nest units.
Add a check to see if the reference count is alreday zero, before decrementing
the count, so that the ref count will not hit a negative value.

It turns out that not all paths calling arch_update_cpu_topology() hold
cpu_hotplug_lock, but that's OK because those paths can't race with
any concurrent hotplug events.
Warnings were reported with the following trace:
lockdep_assert_cpus_held
arch_update_cpu_topology
sched_init_domains
sched_init_smp
kernel_init_freeable
kernel_init
ret_from_kernel_thread
Which is safe because it's called early in boot when hotplug is not
live yet.
And also this trace:
lockdep_assert_cpus_held
arch_update_cpu_topology
partition_sched_domains
cpuset_update_active_cpus
sched_cpu_deactivate
cpuhp_invoke_callback
cpuhp_down_callbacks
cpuhp_thread_fun
smpboot_thread_fn
kthread
ret_from_kernel_thread
Which is safe because it's called as part of CPU hotplug, so although
we don't hold the CPU hotplug lock, there is another thread driving
the CPU hotplug operation which does hold the lock, and there is no
race.
Thanks to tglx for deciphering it for us.

According to the GCC documentation, the behaviour of __builtin_clz()
and __builtin_clzl() is undefined if the value of the input argument
is zero. Without handling this special case, these builtins have been
used for emulating the following instructions:
* Count Leading Zeros Word (cntlzw[.])
* Count Leading Zeros Doubleword (cntlzd[.])
This fixes the emulated behaviour of these instructions by adding an
additional check for this special case.

SP (965747962342e09) is in userspace
When an interrupt occurs during the livepatch_handler execution, it's
possible for the livepatch_stack and/or thread_info to be corrupted.
eg:
Task A Interrupt Handler
========= =================
livepatch_handler:
mr r0, r1
ld r1, TI_livepatch_sp(r12)
hardware_interrupt_common:
do_IRQ+0x8:
mflr r0 <- saved stack pointer is overwritten
bl _mcount
...
std r27,-40(r1) <- overwrite of thread_info()
lis r2, STACK_END_MAGIC@h
ori r2, r2, STACK_END_MAGIC@l
ld r12, -8(r1)
Fix the corruption by using r11 register for livepatch stack
manipulation, instead of shuffling task stack and livepatch stack into
r1 register. Using r11 register also avoids disabling/enabling irq's
while setting up the livepatch stack.

Pull watchddog clean-up and fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"The watchdog (hard/softlockup detector) code is pretty much broken in
its current state. The patch series addresses this by removing all
duct tape and refactoring it into a workable state.
The reasons why I ask for inclusion that late in the cycle are:
1) The code causes lockdep splats vs. hotplug locking which get
reported over and over. Unfortunately there is no easy fix.
2) The risk of breakage is minimal because it's already broken
3) As 4.14 is a long term stable kernel, I prefer to have working
watchdog code in that and the lockdep issues resolved. I wouldn't
ask you to pull if 4.14 wouldn't be a LTS kernel or if the
solution would be easy to backport.
4) The series was around before the merge window opened, but then got
delayed due to the UP failure caused by the for_each_cpu()
surprise which we discussed recently.
Changes vs. V1:
- Addressed your review points
- Addressed the warning in the powerpc code which was discovered late
- Changed two function names which made sense up to a certain point
in the series. Now they match what they do in the end.
- Fixed a 'unused variable' warning, which got not detected by the
intel robot. I triggered it when trying all possible related config
combinations manually. Randconfig testing seems not random enough.
The changes have been tested by and reviewed by Don Zickus and tested
and acked by Micheal Ellerman for powerpc"

Currently it's possible that on returning from the signal handler
through the restore_tm_sigcontexts() code path (e.g. from a signal
caught due to a `trap` instruction executed in the middle of an HTM
block, or a deliberately constructed sigframe) an illegal TM state
(like TS=10 TM=0, i.e. "T0") is set in SRR1 and when `rfid` sets
implicitly the MSR register from SRR1 register on return to userspace
it causes a TM Bad Thing exception.
That illegal state can be set (a) by a malicious user that disables
the TM bit by tweaking the bits in uc_mcontext before returning from
the signal handler or (b) by a sufficient number of context switches
occurring such that the load_tm counter overflows and TM is disabled
whilst in the signal handler.
This commit fixes the illegal TM state by ensuring that TM bit is
always enabled before we return from restore_tm_sigcontexts(). A small
comment correction is made as well.

When using transactional memory (TM), the CPU can be in one of six
states as far as TM is concerned, encoded in the Machine State
Register (MSR). Certain state transitions are illegal and if attempted
trigger a "TM Bad Thing" type program check exception.
If we ever hit one of these exceptions it's treated as a bug, ie. we
oops, and kill the process and/or panic, depending on configuration.
One case where we can trigger a TM Bad Thing, is when returning to
userspace after a system call or interrupt, using RFID. When this
happens the CPU first restores the user register state, in particular
r1 (the stack pointer) and then attempts to update the MSR. However
the MSR update is not allowed and so we take the program check with
the user register state, but the kernel MSR.
This tricks the exception entry code into thinking we have a bad
kernel stack pointer, because the MSR says we're coming from the
kernel, but r1 is pointing to userspace.
To avoid this we instead always switch to the emergency stack if we
take a TM Bad Thing from the kernel. That way none of the user
register values are used, other than for printing in the oops message.
This is the fix for CVE-2017-1000255.

Memory hot unplug on PowerNV radix hosts is broken. Our memory block
size is 256MB but since we map the linear region with very large
pages, each pte we tear down maps 1GB.
A hot unplug of one 256MB memory block results in 768MB of memory
getting unintentionally unmapped. At this point we are likely to oops.
Fix this by increasing our memory block size to 1GB on PowerNV radix
hosts.

Commit eac1e731b59e ("powerpc/xive: guest exploitation of the XIVE
interrupt controller") introduced support for the XIVE exploitation
mode of the P9 interrupt controller on the pseries platform.
At that time, support for CPU removal was not complete on PowerVM and
CPU hot unplug remained untested. It appears that some cleanups of the
XIVE internal structures are required before releasing the CPU,
without which the kernel crashes in a RTAS call doing the CPU
isolation.
These changes fix the crash by deconfiguring the IPI interrupt source
and clearing the event queues of the CPU when it is removed.

The rework of the core hotplug code triggers the WARN_ON in start_wd_cpu()

watchdog_nmi_reconfigure+0x124/0x170
softlockup_reconfigure_threads+0x110/0x130

kernel_init_freeable+0x18c/0x37c
kernel_init+0x2c/0x160

And then again via the CPU hotplug registration:

This can be avoided by setting up the cpu hotplug state with nocalls and
move the initialization to the watchdog_nmi_probe() function. That
initializes the hotplug callbacks without invoking the callback and the
following core initialization function then configures the watchdog for the
online CPUs (in this case CPU0) via softlockup_reconfigure_threads().

The recent cleanup of the watchdog code split watchdog_nmi_reconfigure()
into two stages. One to stop the NMI and one to restart it after
reconfiguration. That was done by adding a boolean 'run' argument to the
code, which is functionally correct but not necessarily a piece of art.
Replace it by two explicit functions: watchdog_nmi_stop() and
watchdog_nmi_start().

Locking of config and doorbell operations should be done only if the
underlying hardware requires it.
This patch removes the global spinlocks from the rapidio subsystem and
moves them to the mport drivers (fsl_rio and tsi721), only to the
necessary places. For example, local config space read and write
operations (lcread/lcwrite) are atomic in all existing drivers, so there
should be no need for locking, while the cread/cwrite operations which
generate maintenance transactions need to be synchronized with a lock.
Later, each driver could chose to use a per-port lock instead of a
global one, or even more granular locking.

In KVM's XICS-on-XIVE emulation, kvmppc_xive_get_xive() returns the
value of state->guest_server as "server". However, this value is not
set by it's counterpart kvmppc_xive_set_xive(). When the guest uses
this interface to migrate interrupts away from a CPU that is going
offline, it sees all interrupts as belonging to CPU 0, so they are
left assigned to (now) offline CPUs.
This patch removes the guest_server field from the state, and returns
act_server in it's place (that is, the CPU actually handling the
interrupt, which may differ from the one requested).

The mmu context on the 40x, 44x does not define pte_frag entry. This
causes gcc abort the compilation due to:
setup-common.c: In function ‘setup_arch’:
setup-common.c:908: error: ‘mm_context_t’ has no ‘pte_frag’
This patch fixes the issue by removing the pte_frag initialization in
setup-common.c.
This is possible, because the compiler will do the initialization,
since the mm_context is a sub struct of init_mm. init_mm is declared
in mm_types.h as external linkage.
According to C99 6.2.4.3:
An object whose identifier is declared with external linkage
[...] has static storage duration.
C99 defines in 6.7.8.10 that:
If an object that has static storage duration is not
initialized explicitly, then:
- if it has pointer type, it is initialized to a null pointer

Commit 41d0c2ecde19 ("powerpc/powernv: Fix local TLB flush for boot
and MCE on POWER9") introduced calls to __flush_tlb_power[89] from the
cpufeatures code, specifying the number of sets to flush.
However, these functions take an action argument, not a number of
sets. This means we hit the BUG() in __flush_tlb_{206,300} when using
cpufeatures-style configuration.
This change passes TLB_INVAL_SCOPE_GLOBAL instead.

On POWER9 DD2.1 and below, it's possible for a paste instruction to
cause a Machine Check Exception (MCE) where only DSISR bit 30 (IBM 33)
is set. This will result in the MCE handler seeing an unknown event,
which triggers linux to crash.
We change this by detecting unknown events caused by load/stores in
the MCE handler and marking them as handled so that we no longer
crash.
An MCE that occurs like this is spurious, so we don't need to do
anything in terms of servicing it. If there is something that needs to
be serviced, the CPU will raise the MCE again with the correct DSISR
so that it can be serviced properly.

On POWER9 DD2.1 and below, sometimes on a Hypervisor Data Storage
Interrupt (HDSI) the HDSISR is not be updated at all.
To work around this we put a canary value into the HDSISR before
returning to a guest and then check for this canary when we take a
HDSI. If we find the canary on a HDSI, we know the hardware didn't
update the HDSISR. In this case we return to the guest to retake the
HDSI which should correctly update the HDSISR the second time HDSI
entry.
After talking to Paulus we've applied this workaround to all POWER9
CPUs. The workaround of returning to the guest shouldn't ever be
triggered on well behaving CPU. The extra instructions should have
negligible performance impact.

Commit 215ee763f8cb ("powerpc: pseries: remove dlpar_attach_node
dependency on full path") reworked dlpar_attach_node() to no longer
look up the parent node "/cpus", but instead to have the parent node
passed by the caller in the function parameter list.
As a result dlpar_attach_node() is no longer responsible for freeing
the reference to the parent node. However, commit 215ee763f8cb failed
to remove the of_node_put(parent) call in dlpar_attach_node(), or to
take into account that the reference to the parent in the caller
dlpar_cpu_add() needs to be held until after dlpar_attach_node()
returns.
As a result doing repeated cpu add/remove dlpar operations will
eventually result in the following error:

Optprobes depended on an updated regs->nip from analyse_instr() to
identify the location to branch back from the optprobes trampoline.
However, since commit 3cdfcbfd32b9d ("powerpc: Change analyse_instr so
it doesn't modify *regs"), analyse_instr() doesn't update the registers
anymore. Due to this, we end up branching back from the optprobes
trampoline to the same branch into the trampoline resulting in a loop.
Fix this by calling out to emulate_update_regs() before using the nip.
Additionally, explicitly compare the return value from analyse_instr()
to 1, rather than just checking for !0 so as to guard against any
future changes to analyse_instr() that may result in -1 being returned
in more scenarios.

Commit 24be85a23d1f ("powerpc/powernv: Clear PECE1 in LPCR via
stop-api only on Hotplug") clears the PECE1 bit of the LPCR via
stop-api during CPU-Hotplug to prevent wakeup due to a decrementer on
an offlined CPU which is in a deep stop state.
In the case where the stop-api support is found to be lacking, the
commit 785a12afdb4a ("powerpc/powernv/idle: Disable LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT
states when stop-api fails") disables deep states that lose hypervisor
context. Thus in this case, the offlined CPU will be put to some
shallow idle state.
However, we currently unconditionally clear the PECE1 in LPCR via
stop-api during CPU-Hotplug even when deep states are disabled due to
stop-api failure.
Fix this by clearing PECE1 of LPCR via stop-api during CPU-Hotplug
*only* when the offlined CPU will be put to a deep state that loses
hypervisor context.

Commit cd63f3c ("powerpc/tm: Fix saving of TM SPRs in core dump")
added code to access TM SPRs in flush_tmregs_to_thread(). However
flush_tmregs_to_thread() does not check if TM feature is available on
CPU before trying to access TM SPRs in order to copy live state to
thread structures. flush_tmregs_to_thread() is indeed guarded by
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM but it might be the case that kernel
was compiled with CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM enabled and ran on
a CPU without TM feature available, thus rendering the execution
of TM instructions that are treated by the CPU as illegal instructions.
The fix is just to add proper checking in flush_tmregs_to_thread()
if CPU has the TM feature before accessing any TM-specific resource,
returning immediately if TM is no available on the CPU. Adding
that checking in flush_tmregs_to_thread() instead of in places
where it is called, like in vsr_get() and vsr_set(), is better because
avoids the same problem cropping up elsewhere.

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

It turns out that what has happened is that the SLB entry for the
vmmemap region hasn't been reloaded on exit from a guest, and it has
the wrong page size. Then, when the host next accesses the vmemmap
region, it gets a page fault.
Commit a25bd72badfa ("powerpc/mm/radix: Workaround prefetch issue with
KVM", 2017-07-24) modified the guest exit code so that it now only clears
out the SLB for hash guest. The code tests the radix flag and puts the
result in a non-volatile CR field, CR2, and later branches based on CR2.
Unfortunately, the kvmppc_save_tm function, which gets called between
those two points, modifies all the user-visible registers in the case
where the guest was in transactional or suspended state, except for a
few which it restores (namely r1, r2, r9 and r13). Thus the hash/radix indication in CR2 gets corrupted.
This fixes the problem by re-doing the comparison just before the
result is needed. For good measure, this also adds comments next to
the call sites of kvmppc_save_tm and kvmppc_restore_tm pointing out
that non-volatile register state will be lost.
