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.

Correct parsing of the buffer returned from ibm,update-properties.

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 __restore_cpu_power8 we determine if we are HV and if not, we return before setting HV only resources. Unfortunately we forgot to restore the link register from r11 before returning. This will happen on boot and with secondary CPUs not coming online. This adds the missing link register restore.

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.

In commit 85fe4025 (fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode), the initialisation of i_ino was removed from new_inode() and pushed down into the callers. However spufs_new_inode() was not updated. This exhibits as no files appearing in /spu, because all our dirents have a zero inode, which readdir() seems to dislike.

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.

Bjørn Mork says: ==================== This series adds workarounds for 3 different firmware bugs, each preventing the affected devices from working at all. I therefore humbly request that these fixes go to stable-3.8 (if still maintained) and 3.9 (either via net if still possible, or via stable if not). All 3 workarounds are applied to all devices supported by the driver. Adding quirks for specific devices was considered as an alternative, but was rejected because we have too little information about the exact distribution of the buggy firmwares. All we know is that the same bug shows up in devices from at least 3 different, and presumably independent, vendors. The workarounds have instead been designed to automatically apply when necessary, and to have as little impact as possible on unaffected devices. The series has been tested on a number of devices both with and without these bugs. The series should apply cleanly to net/master, net-next/master and stable/linux-3.8.y ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

We normally trust and use the CDC functional descriptors provided by a number of devices. But some of these will erroneously list the address reserved for the device end of the link. Attempting to use this on both the device and host side will naturally not work. Work around this bug by ignoring the functional descriptor and assign a random address instead in this case.

Received packets are sometimes addressed to 00:a0:c6:00:00:00 instead of the address the device firmware should have learned from the host: 321.224126 77.16.85.204 -> 148.122.171.134 ICMP 98 Echo (ping) request id=0x4025, seq=64/16384, ttl=64 0000 82 c0 82 c9 f1 67 82 c0 82 c9 f1 67 08 00 45 00 .....g.....g..E. 0010 00 54 00 00 40 00 40 01 57 cc 4d 10 55 cc 94 7a .T..@.@.W.M.U..z 0020 ab 86 08 00 62 fc 40 25 00 40 b2 bc 6e 51 00 00 ....b.@%.@..nQ.. 0030 00 00 6b bd 09 00 00 00 00 00 10 11 12 13 14 15 ..k............. 0040 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f 20 21 22 23 24 25 .......... !"#$% 0050 26 27 28 29 2a 2b 2c 2d 2e 2f 30 31 32 33 34 35 &'()*+,-./012345 0060 36 37 67 321.240607 148.122.171.134 -> 77.16.85.204 ICMP 98 Echo (ping) reply id=0x4025, seq=64/16384, ttl=55 0000 00 a0 c6 00 00 00 02 50 f3 00 00 00 08 00 45 00 .......P......E. 0010 00 54 00 56 00 00 37 01 a0 76 94 7a ab 86 4d 10 .T.V..7..v.z..M. 0020 55 cc 00 00 6a fc 40 25 00 40 b2 bc 6e 51 00 00 U...j.@%.@..nQ.. 0030 00 00 6b bd 09 00 00 00 00 00 10 11 12 13 14 15 ..k............. 0040 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f 20 21 22 23 24 25 .......... !"#$% 0050 26 27 28 29 2a 2b 2c 2d 2e 2f 30 31 32 33 34 35 &'()*+,-./012345 0060 36 37 67 The bogus address is always the same, and matches the address suggested by many devices as a default address. It is likely a hardcoded firmware default. The circumstances where this bug has been observed indicates that the trigger is related to timing or some other factor the host cannot control. Repeating the exact same configuration sequence that caused it to trigger once, will not necessarily cause it to trigger the next time. Reproducing the bug is therefore difficult. This opens up a possibility that the bug is more common than we can confirm, because affected devices often will work properly again after a reset. A procedure most users are likely to try out before reporting a bug. Unconditionally rewriting the destination address if the first digit of the received packet is 0, is considered an acceptable compromise since we already have to inspect this digit. The simplification will cause unnecessary rewrites if the real address starts with 0, but this is still better than adding additional tests for this particular case.
