      powerpc/mm: Ensure IRQs are off in switch_mm() · 9765ad13
      David Gibson authored
      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

          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().

      powerpc/sysfs: Fix reference leak of cpu device_nodes present at boot · e76ca277
      Tyrel Datwyler authored
      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.

      powerpc/pseries: Fix of_node_put() underflow during DLPAR remove · 68baf692
      Tyrel Datwyler authored
      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.
      
      Messages like the following are no longer seen in the kernel log with this
      patch following DLPAR remove operations of cpus and pci devices.

      Merge branch 'topic/kprobes' into next · 9fc84914
      Michael Ellerman authored
      Although most of these kprobes patches are powerpc specific, there's a couple
      that touch generic code (with Acks). At the moment there's one conflict with
      acme's tree, but it's not too bad. Still just in case some other conflicts show
      up, we've put these in a topic branch so another tree could merge some or all of
      it if necessary.

      powerpc/kprobes: Prefer ftrace when probing function entry · 24bd909e
      Naveen N. Rao authored
      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.
      
      With:
        # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
        # echo 'p _do_fork' > kprobe_events
      
      before patch:
        # cat ../kprobes/list
        c0000000000daf08  k  _do_fork+0x8    [DISABLED]
        c000000000044fc0  k  kretprobe_trampoline+0x0    [OPTIMIZED]
      
      and after patch:
        # cat ../kprobes/list
        c0000000000d074c  k  _do_fork+0xc    [DISABLED][FTRACE]

      powerpc/kprobes: Add support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE · ead514d5
      Naveen N. Rao authored
      Allow kprobes to be placed on ftrace _mcount() call sites. This optimization
      avoids the use of a trap, by riding on ftrace infrastructure.
      
      This depends on HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS which depends on MPROFILE_KERNEL,
      which is only currently enabled on powerpc64le with newer toolchains.
      
      Based on the x86 code by Masami.

      powerpc/ftrace: Restore LR from pt_regs · 2f59be5b
      Naveen N. Rao authored
      Pass the real LR to the ftrace handler. This is needed for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE for
      the pre handlers.
      
      Also, with KPROBES_ON_FTRACE, the link register may be updated by the pre
      handlers or by a registed kretprobe. Honor updated LR by restoring it from
      pt_regs, rather than from the stack save area.
      
      Live patch and function graph continue to work fine with this change.

      powerpc/mm: Add support for runtime configuration of ASLR limits · 9fea59bd
      Michael Ellerman authored
      Add powerpc support for mmap_rnd_bits and mmap_rnd_compat_bits, which are two
      sysctls that allow a user to configure the number of bits of randomness used for
      ASLR.
      
      Because of the way the Kconfig for ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS is defined, we have to
      construct at least the MIN value in Kconfig, vs in a header which would be more
      natural. Given that we just go ahead and do it all in Kconfig.
      
      At least according to the code (the documentation makes no mention of it), the
      value is defined as the number of bits of randomisation *of the page*, not the
      address. This makes some sense, with larger page sizes more of the low bits are
      forced to zero, which would reduce the randomisation if we didn't take the
      PAGE_SIZE into account. However it does mean the min/max values have to change
      depending on the PAGE_SIZE in order to actually limit the amount of address
      space consumed by the randomisation.
      
      The result of that is that we have to define the default values based on both
      32-bit vs 64-bit, but also the configured PAGE_SIZE. Furthermore now that we
      have 128TB address space support on Book3S, we also have to take that into
      account.
      
      Finally we can wire up the value in arch_mmap_rnd().
