The __end_handlers marker was intended to mark down upto code that gets called from exception prologs. But that hasn't kept pace with code changes. Case in point, slb_miss_realmode being called from exception prolog code but isn't below __end_handlers marker. So, __end_handlers marker is as good as a comment but could be misleading at times if it isn't in sync with the code, as is the case now. So, let us avoid this confusion by having a better comment and removing __end_handlers marker altogether.

Some of the interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER server processors are only 32 bytes long (8 instructions), which is not enough for the full first-level interrupt handler. For these we need to branch to an out-of-line (OOL) handler. But when we are running a relocatable kernel, interrupt vectors till __end_interrupts marker are copied down to real address 0x100. So, branching to labels (ie. OOL handlers) outside this section must be handled differently (see LOAD_HANDLER()), considering relocatable kernel, which would need at least 4 instructions. However, branching from interrupt vector means that we corrupt the CFAR (come-from address register) on POWER7 and later processors as mentioned in commit 1707dd16. So, EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 (6 instructions) that contains the part up to the point where the CFAR is saved in the PACA should be part of the short interrupt vectors before we branch out to OOL handlers. But as mentioned already, there are interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER server processors that are only 32 bytes long (like vectors 0x4f00, 0x4f20, etc.), which cannot accomodate the above two cases at the same time owing to space constraint. Currently, in these interrupt vectors, we simply branch out to OOL handlers, without using LOAD_HANDLER(), which leaves us vulnerable when running a relocatable kernel (eg. kdump case). While this has been the case for sometime now and kdump is used widely, we were fortunate not to see any problems so far, for three reasons: 1. In almost all cases, production kernel (relocatable) is used for kdump as well, which would mean that crashed kernel's OOL handler would be at the same place where we end up branching to, from short interrupt vector of kdump kernel. 2. Also, OOL handler was unlikely the reason for crash in almost all the kdump scenarios, which meant we had a sane OOL handler from crashed kernel that we branched to. 3. On most 64-bit POWER server processors, page size is large enough that marking interrupt vector code as executable (see commit 429d2e83) leads to marking OOL handler code from crashed kernel, that sits right below interrupt vector code from kdump kernel, as executable as well. Let us fix this by moving the __end_interrupts marker down past OOL handlers to make sure that we also copy OOL handlers to real address 0x100 when running a relocatable kernel. This fix has been tested successfully in kdump scenario, on an LPAR with 4K page size by using different default/production kernel and kdump kernel. Also tested by manually corrupting the OOL handlers in the first kernel and then kdump'ing, and then causing the OOL handlers to fire - mpe.

Add the kconfig logic & assembly support for handling live patched functions. This depends on DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS, which in turn depends on the new -mprofile-kernel ftrace ABI, which is only supported currently on ppc64le. Live patching is handled by a special ftrace handler. This means it runs from ftrace_caller(). The live patch handler modifies the NIP so as to redirect the return from ftrace_caller() to the new patched function. However there is one particularly tricky case we need to handle. If a function A calls another function B, and it is known at link time that they share the same TOC, then A will not save or restore its TOC, and will call the local entry point of B. When we live patch B, we replace it with a new function C, which may not have the same TOC as A. At live patch time it's too late to modify A to do the TOC save/restore, so the live patching code must interpose itself between A and C, and do the TOC save/restore that A omitted. An additionaly complication is that the livepatch code can not create a stack frame in order to save the TOC. That is because if C takes > 8 arguments, or is varargs, A will have written the arguments for C in A's stack frame. To solve this, we introduce a "livepatch stack" which grows upward from the base of the regular stack, and is used to store the TOC & LR when calling a live patched function. When the patched function returns, we retrieve the real LR & TOC from the livepatch stack, restore them, and pop the livepatch "stack frame".

In order to support live patching we need to maintain an alternate stack of TOC & LR values. We use the base of the stack for this, and store the "live patch stack pointer" in struct thread_info. Unlike the other fields of thread_info, we can not statically initialise that value, so it must be done at run time. This patch just adds the code to support that, it is not enabled until the next patch which actually adds live patch support.

When livepatch tries to patch a function it takes the function address and asks ftrace to install the livepatch handler at that location. ftrace will look for an mcount call site at that exact address. On powerpc the mcount location is not the first instruction of the function, and in fact it's not at a constant offset from the start of the function. To accommodate this add a hook which arch code can override to customise the behaviour.

If CONFIG_HIBERNATION and CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64 are set, code in arch/powerpc/kernel/swsusp_amd64.S which uses the tlbia macro is enabled. tlbia in turn uses tlbie, an instruction which takes more than one operand in newer versions of POWER. As such, the kernel fails to build due to the assembler complaining about missing operands. This can be worked around by assembling the instruction as in POWER4. This fixes the build breakage caused by enabling CONFIG_HIBERNATION. Hibernation is currently only tested on G5 PowerMacs, which should be unaffected by this change. For other platforms it may now build, whether or not it works is a different story. Signed-off-by: Russell Currey <ruscur@russell.cc> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Currently on PPC64 changing kernel pagesize from 4K to 64K leaves FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER set to 13 - which produces a compile error. The error occurs because of the following constraint (from include/linux/mmzone.h) being violated: MAX_ORDER -1 + PAGESHIFT <= SECTION_SIZE_BITS. Expanding this out, we get: FORCE_MAX_ZONEBITS <= 25 - PAGESHIFT, which requires, for a 64K page, FORCE_MAX_ZONEBITS <= 9. Thus set max value of FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER for 64K pages to 9, and 4K pages to 13. Also, check the minimum value: In include/linux/huge_mm.h, we have the constraint HPAGE_PMD_ORDER < MAX_ORDER which expands out to: PTE_INDEX_SIZE < FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER. PTE_INDEX_SIZE is: 9 (4k hash or no hash 4K pgtable) or 8 (64K hash or no hash 64K pgtable). Thus a min value of 8 for 64K pages and 9 for 4K pages is reasonable. So, update the range of FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER from 9-64 to 8-9 for 64K pages and from 13-64 to 9-13 for 4K pages.

The associativity array index specified for a LMB in the device tree, /ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory/ibm,dynamic-memory, needs to be updated prior to DLPAR adding a LMB and after DLPAR removing a LMB. Without doing this step in the DLPAR add process a LMB could be configured with the incorrect affinity. For a LMB that was not present at boot the affinity index is set to 0xffffffff, which defaults to adding the LMB to the first online node since the index is not a valid value. Or, the affinity index could contain a stale value if the LMB was present at boot but later DLPAR removed and is being DLPAR added back to the system. This patch adds a step in the DLPAR add flow to look up the associativity index for a LMB prior to adding a LMB and setting the associativity to 0xffffffff when a LMB is removed. This patch also modifies the DLPAR add/remove flow to no longer do a single update of the device tree property after all of the requested DLPAR operations are complete and now does a property update during the add or remove of each LMB.

This reverts commit 1028b55b. It's broken: it makes ext4 return an error at an invalid point, causing the readdir wrappers to write the the position of the last successful directory entry into the position field, which means that the next readdir will now return that last successful entry _again_. You can only return fatal errors (that terminate the readdir directory walk) from within the filesystem readdir functions, the "normal" errors (that happen when the readdir buffer fills up, for example) happen in the iterorator where we know the position of the actual failing entry. I do have a very different patch that does the "signal_pending()" handling inside the iterator function where it is allowable, but while that one passes all the sanity checks, I screwed up something like four times while emailing it out, so I'm not going to commit it today. So my track record is not good enough, and the stars will have to align better before that one gets committed. And it would be good to get some review too, of course, since celestial alignments are always an iffy debugging model. IOW, let's just revert the commit that caused the problem for now.
