This was a hack we added to work around the allmodconfig build breaking, see commit fb43e847 ("powerpc: Disable RELOCATABLE for COMPILE_TEST with PPC64"). Since we merged the thin archives support in commit 43c9127d ("powerpc: Add option to use thin archives") this hasn't been necessary, so remove it.

Currently if we take an oops caused by an 0x380 or 0x480 exception, we get a print which assumes SLB problems. With radix, these vectors have different meanings.

Michal Suchánek noticed a comment in book3s/64/mmu-hash.h about the context ids we use for the kernel was inconsistent with the code and other comments in the same file. It should read 1-4 not 1-5. While we're touching it, update "address" to "addresses" which makes more sense as it's referring to more than one address below.

This enables VFIO on pseries host in order to allow VFIO in nested guest under PR KVM or DPDK in a HV guest. This adds support of the VFIO_SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU type. This adds exchange() callback to allow TCE updates by the SPAPR TCE IOMMU driver in VFIO. This initializes DMA32 window parameters in iommu_table_group as as this does not implement VFIO_SPAPR_TCE_v2_IOMMU and VFIO_SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU just reuses the existing DMA32 window.

When the userspace requests a small TCE table (which takes less than the system page size) and more than 1 TCE level, the existing code returns a single page size which is a bug as each additional TCE level requires at least one page and this is what pnv_pci_ioda2_table_alloc_pages() does. And we end up seeing WARN_ON(!ret && ((*ptbl)->it_allocated_size != table_size)) in drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_spapr_tce.c. This replaces incorrect _ALIGN_UP() (which aligns zero up to zero) with max_t() to fix the bug. Besides removing WARN_ON(), there should be no other changes in behaviour.

pnv_pci_table_alloc() ignores possible failure from kzalloc_node(), this adds a check. There are 2 callers of pnv_pci_table_alloc(), one already checks for tbl!=NULL, this adds WARN_ON() to the other path which only happens during boot time in IODA1 and not expected to fail.

Currently powerpc has to introduce a dependency on its default build target zImage in order to run a relocation check pass over the linked vmlinux. This is deficient because the check is not run if the plain vmlinux target is built, or if one of the other boot targets is built. Switch to using the kbuild post-link pass, added in commit fbe6e37d ("kbuild: add arch specific post-link Makefile") in order to run this check. In future powerpc will use this to do more complicated operations, but initially using it for something simple is a good first step.

An externally triggered system reset (e.g., via QEMU nmi command, or pseries reset button) can cause system reset interrupts on all CPUs. In case this causes xmon to be entered, it is undesirable for the primary (first) CPU into xmon to trigger an NMI IPI to others, because this may cause a nested system reset interrupt. So spin for a time waiting for secondaries to join xmon before performing the NMI IPI, similarly to what the crash dump code does.

Add a simple NMI IPI system that handles concurrency and reentrancy. The platform does not have to implement a true non-maskable interrupt, the default is to simply use the debugger break IPI message. This has now been co-opted for a general IPI message, and users (debugger and crash) have been reimplemented on top of the NMI system.

The system reset interrupt is used for crash/debug situations, so it is desirable to have as little impact on the normal state of the system as possible. Currently it uses the current kernel stack to process the exception. This stores into the stack which may be involved with the crash. The stack pointer may be corrupted, or it may have overflowed. Avoid or minimise these problems by creating a dedicated NMI stack for the system reset interrupt to use.

In preparation for using a dedicated stack for system reset interrupts, prevent a nested system reset from recovering, in order to simplify code that is called in crash/debug path. This allows a system reset interrupt to just use the base stack pointer. Keep an in_nmi nesting counter similarly to the in_mce counter. Consider the interrrupt non-recoverable if it is taken inside another system reset. Interrupt nesting could be allowed similarly to MCE, but system reset is a special case that's not for normal operation, so simplicity wins until there is requirement for nested system reset interrupts.

The system reset interrupt can occur when MSR_EE=0, and it currently uses the PACA_EXGEN save area. Some PACA_EXGEN interrupts have a window where MSR_RI=1 and MSR_EE=0 when the save area is still in use. A system reset interrupt in this window can lead to undetected corruption when the save area gets overwritten. This patch introduces PACA_EXNMI save area for system reset exceptions, which closes this corruption window. It's also helpful to retain the EXGEN state for debugging situations, even if not considering the recoverability aspect. This patch also moves the PACA_EXMC area down to a less frequently used part of the paca with the new save area.

Cell will wake from low power state at the system reset interrupt, with the event encoded in SRR1, rather than waking at the interrupt vector that corresponds to that event. The system reset handler for this platform decodes SRR1 event reason and calls the interrupt handler to process it directly from the system reset handlre. A subsequent change will treat the system reset interrupt as a Linux NMI with its own per-CPU stack, and this will no longer work. Remove the external and decrementer handlers from the system reset handler. - The external exception remains raised and will fire again at the EE interrupt vector when system reset returns. - The decrementer is set to 1 so it will be raised again and fire when the system reset returns. It is possible to branch to an idle handler from the system reset interrupt (like POWER does), then restore a normal stack and restore this optimisation. But simplicity wins for now.

_tlbiel_pid() is called with a ric (Radix Invalidation Control) argument of either RIC_FLUSH_TLB or RIC_FLUSH_ALL. RIC_FLUSH_ALL says to invalidate the entire TLB and the Page Walk Cache (PWC). To flush the whole TLB, we have to iterate over each set (congruence class) of the TLB. Currently we do that and pass RIC_FLUSH_ALL each time. That is not incorrect but it means we flush the PWC 128 times, when once would suffice. Fix it by doing the first flush with the ric value we're passed, and then if it was RIC_FLUSH_ALL, we downgrade it to RIC_FLUSH_TLB, because we know we have just flushed the PWC and don't need to do it again.

Currently we implement flushing of the page walk cache (PWC) by calling _tlbiel_pid() with a RIC (Radix Invalidation Control) value of 1 which says to only flush the PWC. But _tlbiel_pid() loops over each set (congruence class) of the TLB, which is not necessary when we're just flushing the PWC. In fact the set argument is ignored for a PWC flush, so essentially we're just flushing the PWC 127 extra times for no benefit. Fix it by adding tlbiel_pwc() which just does a single flush of the PWC.

Recently we merged the native xive support for Power9, and then separately some reworks for doorbell IPI support. In isolation both series were OK, but the merged result had a bug in one case. On P9 DD1 we use pnv_p9_dd1_cause_ipi() which tries to use doorbells, and then falls back to the interrupt controller. However the fallback is implemented by calling icp_ops->cause_ipi. But now that xive support is merged we might be using xive, in which case icp_ops is not initialised, it's a xics specific structure. This leads to an oops such as: Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000028 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] NIP pnv_p9_dd1_cause_ipi+0x74/0xe0 LR smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass+0x54/0x70 To fix it, rather than using icp_ops which might be NULL, have both xics and xive set smp_ops->cause_ipi, and then in the powernv code we save that as ic_cause_ipi before overriding smp_ops->cause_ipi. For paranoia add a WARN_ON() to check if somehow smp_ops->cause_ipi is NULL. Fixes: b866cc21 ("powerpc: Change the doorbell IPI calling convention") Tested-by: Gautham R.

The recent patch to add runtime configuration of the ASLR limits added a bug in arch_mmap_rnd() where we may shift an integer (32-bits) by up to 33 bits, leading to undefined behaviour. In practice it exhibits as every process seg faulting instantly, presumably because the rnd value hasn't been restricited by the modulus at all. We didn't notice because it only happens under certain kernel configurations and if the number of bits is actually set to a large value. Fix it by switching to unsigned long.

powerpc expects IRQs to already be (soft) disabled when switch_mm() is called, as made clear in the commit message of 9c1e1052 ("powerpc: Allow perf_counters to access user memory at interrupt time"). Aside from any race conditions that might exist between switch_mm() and an IRQ, there is also an unconditional hard_irq_disable() in switch_slb(). If that isn't followed at some point by an IRQ enable then interrupts will remain disabled until we return to userspace. It is true that when switch_mm() is called from the scheduler IRQs are off, but not when it's called by use_mm(). Looking closer we see that last year in commit f98db601 ("sched/core: Add switch_mm_irqs_off() and use it in the scheduler") this was made more explicit by the addition of switch_mm_irqs_off() which is now called by the scheduler, vs switch_mm() which is used by use_mm(). Arguably it is a bug in use_mm() to call switch_mm() in a different context than it expects, but fixing that will take time. This was discovered recently when vhost started throwing warnings such as: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:578 in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 10768, name: vhost-10760 no locks held by vhost-10760/10768. irq event stamp: 10 hardirqs last enabled at (9): _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x40/0x80 hardirqs last disabled at (10): switch_slb+0x2e4/0x490 softirqs last enabled at (0): copy_process+0x5e8/0x1260 softirqs last disabled at (0): (null) Call Trace: show_stack+0x88/0x390 (unreliable) dump_stack+0x30/0x44 __might_sleep+0x1c4/0x2d0 mutex_lock_nested+0x74/0x5c0 cgroup_attach_task_all+0x5c/0x180 vhost_attach_cgroups_work+0x58/0x80 [vhost] vhost_worker+0x24c/0x3d0 [vhost] kthread+0xec/0x100 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xd4 Prior to commit 04b96e55 ("vhost: lockless enqueuing") (Aug 2016) the vhost_worker() would do a spin_unlock_irq() not long after calling use_mm(), which had the effect of reenabling IRQs. Since that commit removed the locking in vhost_worker() the body of the vhost_worker() loop now runs with interrupts off causing the warnings. This patch addresses the problem by making the powerpc code mirror the x86 code, ie. we disable interrupts in switch_mm(), and optimise the scheduler case by defining switch_mm_irqs_off().

For CPUs present at boot each logical CPU acquires a reference to the associated device node of the core. This happens in register_cpu() which is called by topology_init(). The result of this is that we end up with a reference held by each thread of the core. However, these references are never freed if the CPU core is DLPAR removed. This patch fixes the reference leaks by acquiring and releasing the references in the CPU hotplug callbacks un/register_cpu_online(). With this patch symmetric reference counting is observed with both CPUs present at boot, and those DLPAR added after boot.

Historically struct device_node references were tracked using a kref embedded as a struct field. Commit 75b57ecf ("of: Make device nodes kobjects so they show up in sysfs") (Mar 2014) refactored device_nodes to be kobjects such that the device tree could by more simply exposed to userspace using sysfs. Commit 0829f6d1 ("of: device_node kobject lifecycle fixes") (Mar 2014) followed up these changes to better control the kobject lifecycle and in particular the referecne counting via of_node_get(), of_node_put(), and of_node_init(). A result of this second commit was that it introduced an of_node_put() call when a dynamic node is detached, in of_node_remove(), that removes the initial kobj reference created by of_node_init(). Traditionally as the original dynamic device node user the pseries code had assumed responsibilty for releasing this final reference in its platform specific DLPAR detach code. This patch fixes a refcount underflow introduced by commit 0829f6d1, and recently exposed by the upstreaming of the recount API.

KPROBES_ON_FTRACE avoids much of the overhead of regular kprobes as it eliminates the need for a trap, as well as the need to emulate or single-step instructions. Though OPTPROBES provides us with similar performance, we have limited optprobes trampoline slots. As such, when asked to probe at a function entry, default to using the ftrace infrastructure.
