When we fork/clone we currently don't copy any of the TM state to the new thread. This results in a TM bad thing (program check) when the new process is switched in as the kernel does a tmrechkpt with TEXASR FS not set. Also, since R1 is from userspace, we trigger the bad kernel stack pointer detection. So we end up with something like this: Bad kernel stack pointer 0 at c0000000000404fc cpu 0x2: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c00000003ffefd40] pc: c0000000000404fc: restore_gprs+0xc0/0x148 lr: 0000000000000000 sp: 0 msr: 9000000100201030 current = 0xc000001dd1417c30 paca = 0xc00000000fe00800 softe: 0 irq_happened: 0x01 pid = 0, comm = swapper/2 WARNING: exception is not recoverable, can't continue The below fixes this by flushing the TM state before we copy the task_struct to the clone. To do this we go through the tmreclaim patch, which removes the checkpointed registers from the CPU and transitions the CPU out of TM suspend mode. Hence we need to call tmrechkpt after to restore the checkpointed state and the TM mode for the current task. To make this fail from userspace is simply: tbegin li r0, 2 sc <boom> Kudos to Adhemerval Zanella Neto for finding this.

As Ben suggested, the patch prints PHB diag-data with multiple fields in one line and omits the line if the fields of that line are all zero.

The PHB diag-data is important to help locating the root cause for EEH errors such as frozen PE or fenced PHB. However, the EEH core enables IO path by clearing part of HW registers before collecting this data causing it to be corrupted. This patch fixes this by dumping the PHB diag-data immediately when frozen/fenced state on PE or PHB is detected for the first time in eeh_ops::get_state() or next_error() backend. Signed-off-by:

The new ELFv2 little-endian ABI increases the stack redzone -- the area below the stack pointer that can be used for storing data -- from 288 bytes to 512 bytes. This means that we need to allow more space on the user stack when delivering a signal to a 64-bit process. To make the code a bit clearer, we define new USER_REDZONE_SIZE and KERNEL_REDZONE_SIZE symbols in ptrace.h. For now, we leave the kernel redzone size at 288 bytes, since increasing it to 512 bytes would increase the size of interrupt stack frames correspondingly. Gcc currently only makes use of 288 bytes of redzone even when compiling for the new little-endian ABI, and the kernel cannot currently be compiled with the new ABI anyway. In the future, hopefully gcc will provide an option to control the amount of redzone used, and then we could reduce it even more. This also changes the code in arch_compat_alloc_user_space() to preserve the expanded redzone. It is not clear why this function would ever be used on a 64-bit process, though. Signed-off-by:

In copy_oldmem_page, the current check using max_pfn and min_low_pfn to decide if the page is backed or not, is not valid when the memory layout is not continuous. This happens when running as a QEMU/KVM guest, where RTAS is mapped higher in the memory. In that case max_pfn points to the end of RTAS, and a hole between the end of the kdump kernel and RTAS is not backed by PTEs. As a consequence, the kdump kernel is crashing in copy_oldmem_page when accessing in a direct way the pages in that hole. This fix relies on the memblock's service memblock_is_region_memory to check if the read page is part or not of the directly accessible memory. Signed-off-by:

Currently we're storing a host endian RTAS token in rtas_stop_self_args.token. We then pass that directly to rtas. This is fine on big endian however on little endian the token is not what we expect. This will typically result in hitting: panic("Alas, I survived.\n"); To fix this we always use the stop-self token in host order and always convert it to be32 before passing this to rtas.

We possiblly detect EEH errors during reboot, particularly in kexec path, but it's impossible for device drivers and EEH core to handle or recover them properly. The patch registers one reboot notifier for EEH and disable EEH subsystem during reboot. That means the EEH errors is going to be cleared by hardware reset or second kernel during early stage of PCI probe. Signed-off-by:

When doing reset in order to recover the affected PE, we issue hot reset on PE primary bus if it's not root bus. Otherwise, we issue hot or fundamental reset on root port or PHB accordingly. For the later case, we didn't cover the situation where PE only includes root port and it potentially causes kernel crash upon EEH error to the PE. The patch reworks the logic of EEH reset to improve the code readability and also avoid the kernel crash. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by:

perf is failing to resolve symbols in the VDSO.

Even though this is uncommon, Alan points out that it is valid and we should probably fix perf userspace. Regardless, I can't see a reason why we are doing this. The code is all position independent and we never rely on the VDSO ending up at 1M (and we never place it there on 64bit tasks). Changing our link address to 0x0 fixes perf VDSO symbol resolution: 73.18% [vdso] [.] 0x000000000000060c 12.39% [vdso] [.] __kernel_gettimeofday 3.58% test [.] 00000037.plt_call.gettimeofday@@GLIBC_2.18 2.94% [vdso] [.] __kernel_datapage_offset 2.90% test [.] main We still have some local symbol resolution issues that will be fixed in a subsequent patch.

Archs like ppc64 doesn't do tlb flush in set_pte/pmd functions when using a hash table MMU for various reasons (the flush is handled as part of the PTE modification when necessary). ppc64 thus doesn't implement flush_tlb_range for hash based MMUs. Additionally ppc64 require the tlb flushing to be batched within ptl locks. The reason to do that is to ensure that the hash page table is in sync with linux page table. We track the hpte index in linux pte and if we clear them without flushing hash and drop the ptl lock, we can have another cpu update the pte and can end up with duplicate entry in the hash table, which is fatal. We also want to keep set_pte_at simpler by not requiring them to do hash flush for performance reason. We do that by assuming that set_pte_at() is never *ever* called on a PTE that is already valid. This was the case until the NUMA code went in which broke that assumption. Fix that by introducing a new pair of helpers to set _PAGE_NUMA in a way similar to ptep/pmdp_set_wrprotect(), with a generic implementation using set_pte_at() and a powerpc specific one using the appropriate mechanism needed to keep the hash table in sync.

pte_update() is a powerpc-ism used to change the bits of a PTE when the access permission is being restricted (a flush is potentially needed). It uses atomic operations on when needed and handles the hash synchronization on hash based processors. It is currently only used to clear PTE bits and so the current implementation doesn't provide a way to also set PTE bits. The new _PAGE_NUMA bit, when set, is actually restricting access so it must use that function too, so this change adds the ability for pte_update() to also set bits. We will use this later to set the _PAGE_NUMA bit. Acked-by:

Rev3 of the PCI Express Base Specification defines a Supported Link Speeds Vector where the bit definitions within this field are: Bit 0 - 2.5 GT/s Bit 1 - 5.0 GT/s Bit 2 - 8.0 GT/s This vector definition is used by the platform firmware to export the maximum and current link speeds of the PCI bus via the "ibm,pcie-link-speed-stats" device-tree property.

Commit 5091f0c9 (powerpc/pseries: Fix PCIE link speed endian issue) introduced a regression on the PCI link speed detection using the device-tree property. The ibm,pcie-link-speed-stats property is composed of two 32-bit integers, the first one being the maxinum link speed and the second the current link speed. The changes introduced by the aforementioned commit are considering just the first integer. Fix this issue by changing how the property is accessed, using the helper functions to properly access the array of values. The explicit byte swapping is not needed anymore here, since it's done by the helper functions. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds the support for to create a direct iommu "bypass" window on IODA2 bridges (such as Power8) allowing to bypass iommu page translation completely for 64-bit DMA capable devices, thus significantly improving DMA performances. Additionally, this adds a hook to the struct iommu_table so that the IOMMU API / VFIO can disable the bypass when external ownership is requested, since in that case, the device will be used by an environment such as userspace or a KVM guest which must not be allowed to bypass translations.

We would allocate one specific exception stack for each kind of non-base exceptions for every CPU. For ppc32 the CPU hard ID is used as the subscript to get the specific exception stack for one CPU. But for an UP kernel, there is only one element in the each kind of exception stack array. We would get stuck if the CPU hard ID is not equal to '0'. So in this case we should use the subscript '0' no matter what the CPU hard ID is. Signed-off-by:

Currently we set our cpu's bit in cpus_in_xmon, and then we take the output lock and print the exception information. This can race with the master cpu entering the command loop and printing the backtrace. The result is that the backtrace gets garbled with another cpu's exception print out. Fix it by delaying the set of cpus_in_xmon until we are finished printing. Signed-off-by:

If we enter with xmon_speaker != 0 we skip the first cmpxchg(), we also skip the while loop because xmon_speaker != last_speaker (0) - meaning we skip the second cmpxchg() also. Following that code path the compiler sees no memory barriers and so is within its rights to never reload xmon_speaker. The end result is we loop forever. This manifests as all cpus being in xmon ('c' command), but they refuse to take control when you switch to them ('c x' for cpu # x). I have seen this deadlock in practice and also checked the generated code to confirm this is what's happening. The simplest fix is just to always try the cmpxchg().

Right now the config_bhrb() PMU specific call happens after write_mmcr0(), which actually enables the PMU for event counting and interrupts. So there is a small window of time where the PMU and BHRB runs without the required HW branch filter (if any) enabled in BHRB. This can cause some of the branch samples to be collected through BHRB without any filter applied and hence affects the correctness of the results. This patch moves the BHRB config function call before enabling interrupts. Here are some data points captured via trace prints which depicts how we could get PMU interrupts with BHRB filter NOT enabled with a standard perf record command line (asking for branch record information as well). $ perf record -j any_call ls Before the patch:- ls-1962 [003] d... 2065.299590: .perf_event_interrupt: MMCRA: 40000000000 ls-1962 [003] d... 2065.299603: .perf_event_interrupt: MMCRA: 40000000000 ...

Relocation's code is not working in little endian mode because the r_info field, which is a 64 bits value, should be read from the right offset. The current code is optimized to read the r_info field as a 32 bits value starting at the middle of the double word (offset 12). When running in LE mode, the read value is not correct since only the MSB is read. This patch removes this optimization which consist to deal with a 32 bits value instead of a 64 bits one. This way it works in big and little endian mode. Signed-off-by:

On p8 systems, with relocation on exception feature enabled we are seeing kdump kernel hang at interrupt vector 0xc*4400. The reason is, with this feature enabled, exception are raised with MMU (IR=DR=1) ON with the default offset of 0xc*4000. Since exception is raised in virtual mode it requires the vector region to be executable without which it fails to fetch and execute instruction at 0xc*4xxx. For default kernel since kernel is loaded at real 0, the htab mappings sets the entire kernel text region executable. But for relocatable kernel (e.g. kdump case) we only copy interrupt vectors down to real 0 and never marked that region as executable because in p7 and below we always get exception in real mode. This patch fixes this issue by marking htab mapping range as executable that overlaps with the interrupt vector region for relocatable kernel. Thanks to Ben who helped me to debug this issue and find the root cause. Signed-off-by:
