pnv_eeh_reset() has special handling for PEs whose primary bus is the root bus or the bus immediately underneath the root port. The cxl bi-modal card support added in b0b5e591 ("cxl: Add cxl_check_and_switch_mode() API to switch bi-modal cards") relies on this behaviour when hot-resetting the CAPI adapter following a mode switch. Document this in pnv_eeh_reset() so we don't accidentally break it.

Remove unnecessary tags in eeh_handle_normal_event(), and add function comments for eeh_handle_normal_event() and eeh_handle_special_event(). The only functional difference is that in the case of a PE reaching the maximum number of failures, rather than one message telling you of this and suggesting you reseat the device, there are two separate messages.

eeh_handle_special_event() is called when an EEH event is detected but can't be narrowed down to a specific PE. This function looks through every PE to find one in an erroneous state, then calls the regular event handler eeh_handle_normal_event() once it knows which PE has an error. However, if eeh_handle_normal_event() found that the PE cannot possibly be recovered, it will free it, rendering the passed PE stale. This leads to a use after free in eeh_handle_special_event() as it attempts to clear the "recovering" state on the PE after eeh_handle_normal_event() returns. Thus, make sure the PE is valid when attempting to clear state in eeh_handle_special_event().

In some situations, a faulty AFU slice may create an interrupt storm of slice errors, rendering the machine unusable. Since these interrupts are informational only, present the interrupt once, then mask it off to prevent it from being retriggered until the AFU is reset.

Fix a boundary condition where in some cases an eeh event that results in card reset isn't passed on to a driver attached to the virtual PCI device associated with a slice. This will happen in case when a slice attached device driver returns a value other than PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET from the eeh error_detected() callback. This would result in an early return from cxl_pci_error_detected() and other drivers attached to other AFUs on the card wont be notified. The patch fixes this by making sure that all slice attached device-drivers are notified and the return values from error_detected() callback are aggregated in a scheme where request for 'disconnect' trumps all and 'none' trumps 'need_reset'.

During an eeh event when the cxl card is fenced and card sysfs attr perst_reloads_same_image is set following warning message is seen in the kernel logs: Adapter context unlocked with 0 active contexts ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 12 PID: 627 at ../drivers/misc/cxl/main.c:325 cxl_adapter_context_unlock+0x60/0x80 [cxl] Even though this warning is harmless, it clutters the kernel log during an eeh event. This warning is triggered as the EEH callback cxl_pci_error_detected doesn't obtain a context-lock before forcibly detaching all active context and when context-lock is released during call to cxl_configure_adapter from cxl_pci_slot_reset, a warning in cxl_adapter_context_unlock is triggered. To fix this warning, we acquire the adapter context-lock via cxl_adapter_context_lock() in the eeh callback cxl_pci_error_detected() once all the virtual AFU PHBs are notified and their contexts detached. The context-lock is released in cxl_pci_slot_reset() after the adapter is successfully reconfigured and before the we call the slot_reset callback on slice attached device-drivers.

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.

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.

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.

_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.

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().
