The Radix linear mapping code (create_physical_mapping()) tries to use the largest page size it can at each step. Currently the only reason it steps down to a smaller page size is if the start addr is unaligned (never happens in practice), or the end of memory is not aligned to a huge page boundary. To support STRICT_RWX we need to break the mapping at __init_begin, so that the text and rodata prior to that can be marked R_X and the regular pages after can be marked RW. Having done that we can now implement mark_rodata_ro() for Radix, knowing that we won't need to split any mappings. Signed-off-by:

With hash we update the bolted pte to mark it read-only. We rely on the MMU_FTR_KERNEL_RO to generate the correct permissions for read-only text. The radix implementation just prints a warning in this implementation Signed-off-by:

For CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX align __init_begin to 16M. We use 16M since its the larger of 2M on radix and 16M on hash for our linear mapping. The plan is to have .text, .rodata and everything upto __init_begin marked as RX. Note we still have executable read only data. We could further align rodata to another 16M boundary. I've used keeping text plus rodata as read-only-executable as a trade-off to doing read-only-executable for text and read-only for rodata. We don't use multi PT_LOAD in PHDRS because we are not sure if all bootloaders support them. This patch keeps PHDRS in vmlinux.lds.S as the same they are with just one PT_LOAD for all of the kernel marked as RWX (7). mpe: What this means is the added alignment bloats the resulting binary on disk, a powernv kernel goes from 17M to 22M.

This patch creates the window using text_poke_area, allocated via get_vm_area(). text_poke_area is per CPU to avoid locking. text_poke_area for each cpu is setup using late_initcall, prior to setup of these alternate mapping areas, we continue to use direct write to change/modify kernel text. With the ability to use alternate mappings to write to kernel text, it provides us the freedom to then turn text read-only and implement CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX. This code is CPU hotplug aware to ensure that the we have mappings for any new cpus as they come online and tear down mappings for any CPUs that go offline. Signed-off-by:

Commit 9abcc981 ("powerpc/mm/radix: Only add X for pages overlapping kernel text") changed the linear mapping on Radix to only mark the kernel text executable. However if the kernel is run relocated, for example as a kdump kernel, then the exception vectors are split from the kernel text, ie. they remain at real address 0. We tend to get away with it, because the kernel itself will usually be below 1G, which means the 1G page at 0-1G is marked executable and everything works OK. However if the kernel is loaded above 1G, or the system has less than 1G in total (meaning we can't use a 1G page), then the exception vectors will not be marked executable and the kernel will fail to boot. Fix it by also checking if the address range overlaps the exception vectors when deciding if we should add PAGE_KERNEL_X.

Once upon a time there were only two PP (page protection) bits. In ISA 2.03 an additional PP bit was added, but because of the layout of the HPTE it could not be made contiguous with the existing PP bits. The result is that we now have three PP bits, named pp0, pp1, pp2, where pp0 occupies bit 63 of dword 1 of the HPTE and pp1 and pp2 occupy bits 1 and 0 respectively. Until recently Linux hasn't used pp0, however with the addition of _PAGE_KERNEL_RO we started using it. The problem arises in the LPAR code, where we need to translate the PP bits into the argument for the H_PROTECT hypercall. Currently the code only passes bits 0-2 of newpp, which covers pp1, pp2 and N (no execute), meaning pp0 is not passed to the hypervisor at all. We can't simply pass it through in bit 63, as that would collide with a different field in the flags argument, as defined in PAPR. Instead we have to shift it down to bit 8 (IBM bit 55).

It is common to get a PMU interrupt right after the mtmsr instruction that enables interrupts. Due to this, the stack trace profile gets needlessly split across system_call_common() and system_call(). Previously, system_call() symbol was at the current place to hide a few earlier symbols which have since been made private or removed entirely. So, let's move system_call() slightly higher up, right after the mtmsr instruction that enables interrupts. Convert existing references to system_call to a local syscall symbol. Suggested-by:

Currently, we assume that the function pointer we receive in ppc_function_entry() points to a function descriptor. However, this is not always the case. In particular, assembly symbols without the right annotation do not have an associated function descriptor. Some of these symbols are added to the kprobe blacklist using _ASM_NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(). When such addresses are subsequently processed through arch_deref_entry_point() in populate_kprobe_blacklist(), we see the below errors during bootup: [ 0.663963] Failed to find blacklist at 7d9b02a648029b6c [ 0.663970] Failed to find blacklist at a14d03d0394a0001 [ 0.663972] Failed to find blacklist at 7d5302a6f94d0388 [ 0.663973] Failed to find blacklist at 48027d11e8610178 [ 0.663974] Failed to find blacklist at f8010070f8410080 [ 0.663976] Failed to find blacklist at 386100704801f89d [ 0.663977] Failed to find blacklist at 7d5302a6f94d00b0 Fix this by checking if the function pointer we receive in ppc_function_entry() already points to kernel text.

This patch exports a in-kernel 'library' API which can be called by other drivers to help interacting with an IBM XSL on a POWER9 system. The XSL (Translation Service Layer) is a stripped down version of the PSL (Power Service Layer) used in some cards such as the Mellanox CX5. Like the PSL, it implements the CAIA architecture, but has a number of differences, mostly in it's implementation dependent registers. The XSL also uses a special DMA cxl mode, which uses a slightly different init sequence for the CAPP and PHB. Signed-off-by:

The H_GET_24X7_CATALOG_PAGE hcall can return a signed error code, so fix this in the code. The H_GET_24X7_DATA hcall can return a signed error code, so fix this in the code. Also, don't truncate it to 32 bit to use as return value for make_24x7_request. In case of error h_24x7_event_commit_txn passes that return value to generic code, so it should be a proper errno. The other caller of make_24x7_request is single_24x7_request, whose callers don't actually care which error code is returned so they are not affected by this change. Finally, h_24x7_get_value doesn't use the error code from single_24x7_request, so there's no need to store it. Reviewed-by:

make_24x7_request already calls log_24x7_hcall if it fails, so callers don't have to do it again. In fact, since the latter is now only called from the former, there's no need for a separate log_24x7_hcall anymore so remove it. Reviewed-by:

hv-24x7.h has a comment mentioning that result_buffer->results can't be indexed as a normal array because it may contain results of variable sizes, so fix the loop in h_24x7_event_commit_txn to take the variation into account when iterating through results. Another problem in that loop is that it sets h24x7hw->events[i] to NULL. This assumes that only the i'th result maps to the i'th request, but that is not guaranteed to be true. We need to leave the event in the array so that we don't dereference a NULL pointer in case more than one result maps to one request. We still assume that each result has only one result element, so warn if that assumption is violated. Reviewed-by:

H_GET_24X7_CATALOG_PAGE needs to be passed the version number obtained from the first catalog page obtained previously. This is a 64 bit number, but create_events_from_catalog truncates it to 32-bit. This worked on POWER8, but POWER9 actually uses the upper bits so the call fails with H_P3 because the hypervisor doesn't recognize the version. This patch also adds the hcall return code to the error message, which is helpful when debugging the problem.

Current busy-wait loops are implemented by repeatedly calling cpu_relax() to give an arch option for a low-latency option to improve power and/or SMT resource contention. This poses some difficulties for powerpc, which has SMT priority setting instructions (priorities determine how ifetch cycles are apportioned). powerpc's cpu_relax() is implemented by setting a low priority then setting normal priority. This has several problems: - Changing thread priority can have some execution cost and potential impact to other threads in the core. It's inefficient to execute them every time around a busy-wait loop. - Depending on implementation details, a `low ; medium` sequence may not have much if any affect. Some software with similar pattern actually inserts a lot of nops between, in order to cause a few fetch cycles with the low priority. - The busy-wait loop runs with regular priority. This might only be a few fetch cycles, but if there are several threads running such loops, they could cause a noticable impact on a non-idle thread. Implement spin_begin, spin_end primitives that can be used around busy wait loops, which default to no-ops. And spin_cpu_relax which defaults to cpu_relax. This will allow architectures to hook the entry and exit of busy-wait loops, and will allow powerpc to set low SMT priority at entry, and normal priority at exit. Suggested-by:

pnv_wakeup_noloss() expects r12 to contain SRR1 value to determine if the wakeup reason is an HMI in CHECK_HMI_INTERRUPT. When we wakeup with ESL=0, SRR1 will not contain the wakeup reason, so there is no point setting r12 to SRR1. However, we don't set r12 at all so r12 contains garbage (likely a kernel pointer), and is still used to check HMI assuming that it contained SRR1. This causes the OPAL msglog to be filled with the following print: HMI: Received HMI interrupt: HMER = 0x0040000000000000 This patch clears r12 after waking up from stop with ESL=EC=0, so that we don't accidentally enter the HMI handler in pnv_wakeup_noloss() if the value of r12[42:45] corresponds to HMI as wakeup reason. Prior to commit 9d292501 ("powerpc/64s/idle: Avoid SRR usage in idle sleep/wake paths") this bug existed, in that we would incorrectly look at SRR1 to check for a HMI when SRR1 didn't contain a wakeup reason. However the SRR1 value would just happen to never have bits 42:45 set. Fixes: 9d292501 ("powerpc/64s/idle: Avoid SRR usage in idle sleep/wake paths") Signed-off-by:
