Upcoming POWER8 chips support a concept called split core. This is where the core can be split into subcores that although not full cores, are able to appear as full cores to a guest. The splitting & unsplitting procedure is mildly complicated, and explained at length in the comments within the patch. One notable detail is that when splitting or unsplitting we need to pull offline cpus out of their offline state to do work as part of the procedure. The interface for changing the split mode is via a sysfs file, eg: $ echo 2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/subcores_per_core Currently supported values are '1', '2' and '4'. And indicate respectively that the core should be unsplit, split in half, and split in quarters. These modes correspond to threads_per_subcore of 8, 4 and 2. We do not allow changing the split mode while KVM VMs are active. This is to prevent the value changing while userspace is configuring the VM, and also to prevent the mode being changed in such a way that existing guests are unable to be run. CPU hotplug fixes by Srivatsa. max_cpus fixes by Mahesh. cpuset fixes by benh. Fix for irq race by paulus. The rest by mikey and mpe.

To support split core on POWER8 we need to modify various parts of the KVM code to use threads_per_subcore instead of threads_per_core. On systems that do not support split core threads_per_subcore == threads_per_core and these changes are a nop. We use threads_per_subcore as the value reported by KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT. This communicates to userspace that guests can only be created with a value of threads_per_core that is less than or equal to the current threads_per_subcore. This ensures that guests can only be created with a thread configuration that we are able to run given the current split core mode. Although threads_per_subcore can change during the life of the system, the commit that enables that will ensure that threads_per_subcore does not change during the life of a KVM VM.

To support split core we need to change the check in __cpu_up() that determines if a cpu is allowed to come online. Currently we refuse to online cpus which are not the primary thread within their core. On POWER8 with split core support this check needs to instead refuse to online cpus which are not the primary thread within their *sub* core. On POWER7 and other systems that do not support split core, threads_per_subcore == threads_per_core and so the check is equivalent.

On POWER8 we have a new concept of a subcore. This is what happens when you take a regular core and split it. A subcore is a grouping of two or four SMT threads, as well as a handfull of SPRs which allows the subcore to appear as if it were a core from the point of view of a guest. Unlike threads_per_core which is fixed at boot, threads_per_subcore can change while the system is running. Most code will not want to use threads_per_subcore.

To support split core we need to be able to force all secondaries into nap, so the core can detect they are idle and do an unsplit. Currently power7_nap() will return without napping if there is an irq pending. We want to ignore the pending irq and nap anyway, we will deal with the interrupt later.

As part of the support for split core on POWER8, we want to be able to block splitting of the core while KVM VMs are active. The logic to do that would be exactly the same as the code we currently have for inhibiting onlining of secondaries. Instead of adding an identical mechanism to block split core, rework the secondary inhibit code to be a "HV KVM is active" check. We can then use that in both the cpu hotplug code and the upcoming split core code.

If we try to perform a kexec when the machine is in ST (Single-Threaded) mode (ppc64_cpu --smt=off), the kexec operation doesn't succeed properly, and we get the following messages during boot: [ 0.089866] POWER8 performance monitor hardware support registered [ 0.089985] power8-pmu: PMAO restore workaround active. [ 5.095419] Processor 1 is stuck. [ 10.097933] Processor 2 is stuck. [ 15.100480] Processor 3 is stuck. [ 20.102982] Processor 4 is stuck. [ 25.105489] Processor 5 is stuck.

Note that only the sibling threads are stuck, while the primary threads (0, 8, 16 etc) boot just fine. Looking closer at the previous step of kexec, we observe that kexec tries to wakeup (bring online) the sibling threads of all the cores, before performing kexec: [ 9464.131231] Starting new kernel [ 9464.148507] kexec: Waking offline cpu 1. [ 9464.148552] kexec: Waking offline cpu 2. [ 9464.148600] kexec: Waking offline cpu 3. [ 9464.148636] kexec: Waking offline cpu 4. [ 9464.148671] kexec: Waking offline cpu 5. [ 9464.148708] kexec: Waking offline cpu 6. [ 9464.148743] kexec: Waking offline cpu 7. [ 9464.148779] kexec: Waking offline cpu 9. [ 9464.148815] kexec: Waking offline cpu 10.

[ 9464.148994] kexec: Waking offline cpu 15. [ 9464.149030] kexec: Waking offline cpu 17. Instrumenting this piece of code revealed that the cpu_up() operation actually fails with -EBUSY. Thus, only the primary threads of all the cores are online during kexec, and hence this is a sure-shot receipe for disaster, as explained in commit e8e5c215 (powerpc/kexec: Fix orphaned offline CPUs across kexec), as well as in the comment above wake_offline_cpus(). It turns out that cpu_up() was returning -EBUSY because the variable 'cpu_hotplug_disabled' was set to 1; and this disabling of CPU hotplug was done by migrate_to_reboot_cpu() inside kernel_kexec(). Now, migrate_to_reboot_cpu() was originally written with the assumption that any further code will not need to perform CPU hotplug, since we are anyway in the reboot path. However, kexec is clearly not such a case, since we depend on onlining CPUs, atleast on powerpc. So re-enable cpu-hotplug after returning from migrate_to_reboot_cpu() in the kexec path, to fix this regression in kexec on powerpc. Also, wrap the cpu_up() in powerpc kexec code within a WARN_ON(), so that we can catch such issues more easily in the future.

With binutils 2.24, various 64 bit builds fail with relocation errors such as arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `exc_debug_crit_book3e': (.text+0x165ee): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI against symbol `interrupt_base_book3e' defined in .text section in arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `exc_debug_crit_book3e': (.text+0x16602): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI against symbol `interrupt_end_book3e' defined in .text section in arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o The assembler maintainer says: I changed the ABI, something that had to be done but unfortunately happens to break the booke kernel code. When building up a 64-bit value with lis, ori, shl, oris, ori or similar sequences, you now should use @high and @higha in place of @h and @ha. @h and @ha (and their associated relocs R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI and R_PPC64_ADDR16_HA) now report overflow if the value is out of 32-bit signed range. ie. @h and @ha assume you're building a 32-bit value. This is needed to report out-of-range -mcmodel=medium toc pointer offsets in @toc@h and @toc@ha expressions, and for consistency I did the same for all other @h and @ha relocs. Replacing @h with @high in one strategic location fixes the relocation errors. This has to be done conditionally since the assembler either supports @h or @high but not both.

We get an array of instructions from the hypervisor via device tree that we write into a buffer that gets executed whenever we want to make an ePAPR compliant hypercall. However, the hypervisor passes us these instructions in BE order which we have to manually convert to LE when we want to run them in LE mode.

This patch introduces the support for Keymile's kmcoge4 board which is the internal reference design for boards based on Freescale's P2040/P2041 SoCs. This internal reference design is named kmp204x. The peripherals used on this board are: - SPI NOR Flash as bootloader medium - NAND Flash with a ubi partition - 2 PCIe busses (hosts 1 and 3) - 3 FMAN Ethernet devices (FMAN1 DTSEC1/2/5) - 4 Local Bus windows, with one dedicated to the QRIO reset/power mgmt CPLD - 2 I2C busses - last but not least, the mandatory serial port The patch also adds a defconfig file for this reference design that is necessary because of the lowmem option that must be set higher due to the number of PCIe devices with big ioremapped mem ranges on the boad.

A simple patch which was supposed to swap r12 and r11 also inexplicably changed the offset by two bytes. This instruction (to load r2) isn't used in LE, so it wasn't noticed. Fixes: b1ce369e ("powerpc: modules: use r12 for stub jump address.)

There is otherwise a risk of a possible null pointer dereference. Was largely found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck. Signed-off-by: Rickard Strandqvist <rickard_strandqvist@spectrumdigital.se> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

powerpc: Clear ELF personality flag if ELFv2 is not requested. The POWER kernel uses a personality flag to determine whether it should be setting up function descriptors or not (per the updated ABI). This flag wasn't being cleared on a new process but instead was being inherited. The visible effect was that an ELFv2 binary could not execve to an ELFv1 binary.

Currently, on 8641D, which doesn't set CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT we get the following splat: BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: login/1382 caller is set_breakpoint+0x1c/0xa0 CPU: 0 PID: 1382 Comm: login Not tainted 3.15.0-rc3-00041-g2aafe1a4 #1 Call Trace: [decd5d80] [c0008dc4] show_stack+0x50/0x158 (unreliable) [decd5dc0] [c03c6fa0] dump_stack+0x7c/0xdc [decd5de0] [c01f8818] check_preemption_disabled+0xf4/0x104 [decd5e00] [c00086b8] set_breakpoint+0x1c/0xa0 [decd5e10] [c00d4530] flush_old_exec+0x2bc/0x588 [decd5e40] [c011c468] load_elf_binary+0x2ac/0x1164 [decd5ec0] [c00d35f8] search_binary_handler+0xc4/0x1f8 [decd5ef0] [c00d4ee8] do_execve+0x3d8/0x4b8 [decd5f40] [c001185c] ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x38 --- Exception: c01 at 0xfeee554 LR = 0xfeee7d4 The call path in this case is: flush_thread --> set_debug_reg_defaults --> set_breakpoint --> __get_cpu_var Since preemption is enabled in the cleanup of flush thread, and there is no need to disable it, introduce the distinction between set_breakpoint and __set_breakpoint, leaving only the flush_thread instance as the current user of set_breakpoint.

The arch/powerpc/include/asm/linkage.h is being unintentionally exported in the kernel headers since commit e1b5bb6d (consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations) when arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/linkage.h was deleted but the header-y not removed from the Kbuild file. This happens because Makefile.headersinst still checks the old asm/ directory if the specified header doesn't exist in the uapi directory. The asm/linkage.h shouldn't ever have been exported anyway. No other arch does and it doesn't contain anything useful to userland, so remove the header-y line from the Kbuild file which triggers the export.
