Very large kernels may require linker stubs for branches from HEAD text code. The linker may place these stubs before the HEAD text sections, which breaks the assumption that HEAD text is located at 0 (or the .text section being located at 0x7000/0x8000 on Book3S kernels). Provide an option to create a small section just before the .text section with an empty 256 - 4 bytes, and adjust the start of the .text section to match. The linker will tend to put stubs in that section and not break our relative-to-absolute offset assumptions. This causes a small waste of space on common kernels, but allows large kernels to build and boot. For now, it is an EXPERT config option, defaulting to =n, but a reference is provided for it in the build-time check for such breakage. This is good enough for allyesconfig and custom users / hackers. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

For final link, the powerpc64 linker generates fpr save/restore functions on-demand, placing them in the .sfpr section. Starting with binutils 2.25, these can be provided for non-final links with --save-restore-funcs. Use that where possible for module links. This saves about 200 bytes per module (~60kB) on powernv defconfig build. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Prevent a kernel panic caused by unintentionally clearing TCR watchdog bits. At this point in the kernel boot, the watchdog may have already been enabled by u-boot. The original code's attempt to write to the TCR register results in an inadvertent clearing of the watchdog configuration bits, causing the 476 to reset.

The current code in the cpuidle-powernv intialization only allows deep stop states (indicated by OPAL_PM_STOP_INST_DEEP) which lose timebase (indicated by OPAL_PM_TIMEBASE_STOP). This assumption goes back to POWER8 time where deep states used to lose the timebase. However, on POWER9, we do have stop states that are deep (they lose hypervisor state) but retain the timebase. Fix the initialization code in the cpuidle-powernv driver to allow such deep states. Further, there is a bug in cpuidle-powernv driver with CONFIG_TICK_ONESHOT=n where we end up incrementing the nr_idle_states even if a platform idle state which loses time base was not added to the cpuidle table. Fix this by ensuring that the nr_idle_states variable gets incremented only when the platform idle state was added to the cpuidle table. Signed-off-by: Gautham R.

On Power9 DD1 due to a hardware bug the Power-Saving Level Status field (PLS) of the PSSCR for a thread waking up from a deep state can under-report if some other thread in the core is in a shallow stop state. The scenario in which this can manifest is as follows: 1) All the threads of the core are in deep stop. 2) One of the threads is woken up. The PLS for this thread will correctly reflect that it is waking up from deep stop. 3) The thread that has woken up now executes a shallow stop. 4) When some other thread in the core is woken, its PLS will reflect the shallow stop state. Thus, the subsequent thread for which the PLS is under-reporting the wakeup state will not restore the hypervisor resources. Hence, on DD1 systems, use the Requested Level (RL) field as a workaround to restore the contents of the hypervisor resources on the wakeup from the stop state. Signed-off-by: Gautham R.

Some of the SPR values (HID0, MSR, SPRG0) don't change during the run time of a booted kernel, once they have been initialized. The contents of these SPRs are lost when the CPUs enter deep stop states. So instead saving and restoring SPRs from the kernel, use the stop-api provided by the firmware by which the firmware can restore the contents of these SPRs to their initialized values after wakeup from a deep stop state. Apart from these, program the PSSCR value to that of the deepest stop state via the stop-api. This will be used to indicate to the underlying firmware as to what stop state to put the threads that have been woken up by a special-wakeup. And while we are at programming SPRs via stop-api, ensure that HID1, HID4 and HID5 registers which are only available on POWER8 are not requested to be restored by the firware on POWER9.

On wakeup from a deep stop state which is supposed to lose the hypervisor state, we don't restore the LPCR to the old value but set it to a "sane" value via cur_cpu_spec->cpu_restore(). The problem is that the "sane" value doesn't include UPRT and the HR bits which are required to run correctly in Radix mode. Fix this on POWER9 onwards by restoring the LPCR value whatever it was before executing the stop instruction. Signed-off-by: Gautham R.

On POWER8, in case of - nap: both timebase and hypervisor state is retained. - fast-sleep: timebase is lost. But the hypervisor state is retained. - winkle: timebase and hypervisor state is lost. Hence, the current code for handling exit from a idle state assumes that if the timebase value is retained, then so is the hypervisor state. Thus, the current code doesn't restore per-core hypervisor state in such cases. But that is no longer the case on POWER9 where we do have stop states in which timebase value is retained, but the hypervisor state is lost. So we have to ensure that the per-core hypervisor state gets restored in such cases. Fix this by ensuring that even in the case when timebase is retained, we explicitly check if we are waking up from a deep stop that loses per-core hypervisor state (indicated by cr4 being eq or gt), and if this is the case, we restore the per-core hypervisor state.

The lower 8 bits of core_idle_state_ptr tracks the number of non-idle threads in the core. This is supposed to be initialized to bit-map corresponding to the threads_per_core. However, currently it is initialized to PNV_CORE_IDLE_THREAD_BITS (0xFF). This is correct for POWER8 which has 8 threads per core, but not for POWER9 which has 4 threads per core. As a result, on POWER9, core_idle_state_ptr gets initialized to 0xFF. In case when all the threads of the core are idle, the bits corresponding tracking the idle-threads are non-zero. As a result, the idle entry/exit code fails to save/restore per-core hypervisor state since it assumes that there are threads in the cores which are still active. Fix this by correctly initializing the lower bits of the core_idle_state_ptr on the basis of threads_per_core. Signed-off-by: Gautham R.

Experiments with the netperf benchmark indicated that the size selecting VMX-based copies in __copy_tofrom_user_power7() was suboptimal on POWER8. Measurements showed that parity was in the neighbourhood of 3328 bytes, rather than greater than 4096. The change gives a 1.5-2.0% improvement in performance for 4096-byte buffers, reducing the relative time spent in __copy_tofrom_user_power7() from approximately 7% to approximately 5% in the TCP_RR benchmark.

ftrace use module_alloc() to allocate trampoline pages. The mapping of module_alloc() is RWX, which makes sense as the memory is written to right after allocation. But nothing makes these pages RO after writing to them. Add proper set_memory_rw/ro() calls to protect the trampolines after modification.

Add a testcase to test kprobes via ftrace interface with many concurrent kprobe events. This tries to add many kprobe events (up to 256) on kernel functions. To avoid making ftrace-based kprobes (kprobes on fentry), it skips first N bytes (on x86 N=5, on ppc or arm N=4) of function entry. After that, it enables all those events, disable it, and remove it. Since the unoptimization buffer reclaiming will be delayed, after removing events, it will wait enough time.
