The following patch adds vdso_getcpu_init(), which stores the NUMA node for a cpu in SPRG3: Commit 18ad51dd ("powerpc: Add VDSO version of getcpu") adds vdso_getcpu_init(), which stores the NUMA node for a cpu in SPRG3. This patch ensures that this information is also updated when the NUMA affinity of a cpu changes.

The new PRRN firmware feature allows CPU and memory resources to be transparently reassigned across NUMA boundaries. When this happens, the kernel must update the node maps to reflect the new affinity information. Although the NUMA maps can be protected by locking primitives during the update itself, this is insufficient to prevent concurrent accesses to these structures. Since cpumask_of_node() hands out a pointer to these structures, they can still be modified outside of the lock. Furthermore, tracking down each usage of these pointers and adding locks would be quite invasive and difficult to maintain. The approach used is to make a list of affected cpus and call stop_machine to have the update routine run on each of the affected cpus allowing them to update themselves. Each cpu finds itself in the list of cpus and makes the appropriate updates. We need to have each cpu do this for themselves to handle calls to vdso_getcpu_init() added in a subsequent patch. Situations like these are best handled using stop_machine(). Since the NUMA affinity updates are exceptionally rare events, this approach has the benefit of not adding any overhead while accessing the NUMA maps during normal operation.

Platform events such as partition migration or the new PRRN firmware feature can cause the NUMA characteristics of a CPU to change, and these changes will be reflected in the device tree nodes for the affected CPUs. This patch registers a handler for Open Firmware device tree updates and reconfigures the CPU and node maps whenever the associativity changes. Currently, this is accomplished by marking the affected CPUs in the cpu_associativity_changes_mask and allowing arch_update_cpu_topology() to retrieve the new associativity information using hcall_vphn(). Protecting the NUMA cpu maps from concurrent access during an update operation will be addressed in a subsequent patch in this series.

The firmware_has_feature() function makes it easy to check for supported features of the hypervisor. This patch extends the capability of firmware_has_feature() to include checking for specified bits in vector 5 of the architecture vector as reported in the device tree. As part of this the #defines used for the architecture vector are re-defined such that each option has the index into vector 5 and the feature bit encoded into it. This makes checking for architecture bits when initiating data for firmware_has_feature much easier.

When iterating over the entries in firmware_features_table we only need to go over the actual number of entries in the array instead of declaring it to be bigger and checking to make sure there is a valid entry in every slot. This patch removes the FIRMWARE_MAX_FEATURES #define and replaces the array looping with the use of ARRAY_SIZE().

As part of handling of PRRN events we need to check vector 5 of the architecture vector bits reported in the device tree to ensure PRRN event handling is enabled. To do this firmware_has_feature() is updated (in a subsequent patch) to make this check vector 5 bits. To avoid having to re-define bits in the architecture vector the bit definitions are moved to prom.h.

A PRRN event is signaled via the RTAS event-scan mechanism, which returns a Hot Plug Event message "fixed part" indicating "Platform Resource Reassignment". In response to the Hot Plug Event message, we must call ibm,update-nodes to determine which resources were reassigned and then ibm,update-properties to obtain the new affinity information about those resources. The PRRN event-scan RTAS message contains only the "fixed part" with the "Type" field set to the value 160 and no Extended Event Log. The four-byte Extended Event Log Length field is re-purposed (since no Extended Event Log message is included) to pass the "scope" parameter that causes the ibm,update-nodes to return the nodes affected by the specific resource reassignment. This patch adds a handler for RTAS events. The function pseries_devicetree_update() (from mobility.c) is used to make the ibm,update-nodes/ibm,update-properties RTAS calls. Updating the NUMA maps (handled by a subsequent patch) will require significant processing, so pseries_devicetree_update() is called from an asynchronous workqueue to allow event processing to continue. PRRN RTAS events on pseries systems are rare events that have to be initiated from the HMC console for the system by an IBM tech. This allows us to assume that these events are widely spaced. Additionally, all work on the queue is flushed before handling any new work to ensure we only have one event in flight being handled at a time.

Newer firmware on Power systems can transparently reassign platform resources (CPU and Memory) in use. For instance, if a processor or memory unit is predicted to fail, the platform may transparently move the processing to an equivalent unused processor or the memory state to an equivalent unused memory unit. However, reassigning resources across NUMA boundaries may alter the performance of the partition. When such reassignment is necessary, the Platform Resource Reassignment Notification (PRRN) option provides a mechanism to inform the Linux kernel of changes to the NUMA affinity of its platform resources. When rtasd receives a PRRN event, it needs to make a series of RTAS calls (ibm,update-nodes and ibm,update-properties) to retrieve the updated device tree information. These calls are already handled in the pseries_devicetree_update() routine used in partition migration. This patch exposes pseries_devicetree_update() to make it accessible to other pseries routines, this patch also updates pseries_devicetree_update() to take a 32-bit scope parameter. The scope value, which was previously hard coded to 1 for partition migration, is used for the RTAS calls ibm,update-nodes/properties to update the device tree.

POWER8 allows us to take interrupts with the MMU on. This gives us a second set of vectors offset at 0x4000. Unfortunately when coping these vectors we missed checking for MSR HV for hardware interrupts (0x500). This results in us trying to use HSRR0/1 when HV=0, rather than SRR0/1 on HW IRQs The below fixes this to check CPU_FTR_HVMODE when patching the code at 0x4500. Also we remove the check for CPU_FTR_ARCH_206 since relocation on IRQs are only available in arch 2.07 and beyond. Thanks to benh for helping find this.

In __after_prom_start we copy the kernel down to zero in two calls to copy_and_flush. After the first call (copy from 0 to copy_to_here:) we jump to the newly copied code soon after. Unfortunately there's no isync between the copy of this code and the jump to it. Hence it's possible that stale instructions could still be in the icache or pipeline before we branch to it. We've seen this on real machines and it's results in no console output after: calling quiesce... returning from prom_init The below adds an isync to ensure that the copy and flushing has completed before any branching to the new instructions occurs.

Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin: "The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support for loading over 4 GiB that was introduced in this merge cycle. This is partly due to a number of design problems inherent in the way the various pieces of kdump fit together (it is pretty horrifically manual in many places.) After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon, but of course it is now very late in the cycle. However, because it changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken interfaces."

Commit 257b5358 ("scm: Capture the full credentials of the scm sender") changed the credentials passing code to pass in the effective uid/gid instead of the real uid/gid. Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong uid/gid ends up being used. This just undoes that (presumably unintentional) part of the commit. Reported-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: Serge E.

For each CPU vendor that implements CPU microcode patching, there will be a minimum family for which this is implemented. Verify this minimum level of support. This can be done in the dispatch function or early in the application functions. Doing the latter turned out to be somewhat awkward because of the ineviable split between the BSP and the AP paths, and rather than pushing deep into the application functions, do this in the dispatch function.

Since we know that this resource is very short, using an "unsigned long" instead of "resource_size_t" is entirely sufficient, and avoids this link-time error.
