Currently, if a process starts a transaction and then takes an exception because the FPU, VMX or VSX unit is unavailable to it, we end up corrupting any FP/VMX/VSX state that was valid before the interrupt. For example, if the process starts a transaction with the FPU available to it but VMX unavailable, and then does a VMX instruction inside the transaction, the FP state gets corrupted. Loading up the desired state generally involves doing a reclaim and a recheckpoint. To avoid corrupting already-valid state, we have to be careful not to reload that state from the thread_struct between the reclaim and the recheckpoint (since the thread_struct values are stale by now), and we have to reload that state from the transact_fp/vr arrays after the recheckpoint to get back the current transactional values saved there by the reclaim.

Currently, when we have a process using the transactional memory facilities on POWER8 (that is, the processor is in transactional or suspended state), and the process enters the kernel and the kernel then uses the floating-point or vector (VMX/Altivec) facility, we end up corrupting the user-visible FP/VMX/VSX state. This happens, for example, if a page fault causes a copy-on-write operation, because the copy_page function will use VMX to do the copy on POWER8. The test program below demonstrates the bug. The bug happens because when FP/VMX state for a transactional process is stored in the thread_struct, we store the checkpointed state in .fp_state/.vr_state and the transactional (current) state in .transact_fp/.transact_vr. However, when the kernel wants to use FP/VMX, it calls enable_kernel_fp() or enable_kernel_altivec(), which saves the current state in .fp_state/.vr_state. Furthermore, when we return to the user process we return with FP/VMX/VSX disabled. The next time the process uses FP/VMX/VSX, we don't know which set of state (the current register values, .fp_state/.vr_state, or .transact_fp/.transact_vr) we should be using, since we have no way to tell if we are still in the same transaction, and if not, whether the previous transaction succeeded or failed. Thus it is necessary to strictly adhere to the rule that if FP has been enabled at any point in a transaction, we must keep FP enabled for the user process with the current transactional state in the FP registers, until we detect that it is no longer in a transaction. Similarly for VMX; once enabled it must stay enabled until the process is no longer transactional. In order to keep this rule, we add a new thread_info flag which we test when returning from the kernel to userspace, called TIF_RESTORE_TM. This flag indicates that there is FP/VMX/VSX state to be restored before entering userspace, and when it is set the .tm_orig_msr field in the thread_struct indicates what state needs to be restored. The restoration is done by restore_tm_state(). The TIF_RESTORE_TM bit is set by new giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional helpers, which are called from enable_kernel_fp/altivec, giveup_vsx, and flush_fp/altivec_to_thread instead of giveup_fpu/altivec. The other thing to be done is to get the transactional FP/VMX/VSX state from .fp_state/.vr_state when doing reclaim, if that state has been saved there by giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional. Having done this, we set the FP/VMX bit in the thread's MSR after reclaim to indicate that that part of the state is now valid (having been reclaimed from the processor's checkpointed state). Finally, in the signal handling code, we move the clearing of the transactional state bits in the thread's MSR a bit earlier, before calling flush_fp_to_thread(), so that we don't unnecessarily set the TIF_RESTORE_TM bit. This is the test program: /* Michael Neuling 4/12/2013 * * See if the altivec state is leaked out of an aborted transaction due to * kernel vmx copy loops. * * gcc -m64 htm_vmxcopy.c -o htm_vmxcopy * */ /* We don't use all of these, but for reference: */ int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { long double vecin = 1.3; long double vecout; unsigned long pgsize = getpagesize(); int i; int fd; int size = pgsize*16; char tmpfile[] = "/tmp/page_faultXXXXXX"; char buf[pgsize]; char *a; uint64_t aborted = 0; fd = mkstemp(tmpfile); assert(fd >= 0); memset(buf, 0, pgsize); for (i = 0; i < size; i += pgsize) assert(write(fd, buf, pgsize) == pgsize); unlink(tmpfile); a = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0); assert(a != MAP_FAILED); asm __volatile__( "lxvd2x 40,0,%[vecinptr] ; " // set 40 to initial value TBEGIN "beq 3f ;" TSUSPEND "xxlxor 40,40,40 ; " // set 40 to 0 "std 5, 0(%[map]) ;" // cause kernel vmx copy page TABORT TRESUME TEND "li %[res], 0 ;" "b 5f ;" "3: ;" // Abort handler "li %[res], 1 ;" "5: ;" "stxvd2x 40,0,%[vecoutptr] ; " : [res]"=r"(aborted) : [vecinptr]"r"(&vecin), [vecoutptr]"r"(&vecout), [map]"r"(a) : "memory", "r0", "r3", "r4", "r5", "r6", "r7"); if (aborted && (vecin != vecout)){ printf("FAILED: vector state leaked on abort %f != %f\n", (double)vecin, (double)vecout); exit(1); } munmap(a, size); close(fd); printf("PASSED!\n"); return 0; } Signed-off-by: -

If we set irq_work on a processor and immediately afterward, before the irq work has a chance to be processed, we change the decrementer value, we can seriously delay the handling of that irq_work. Fix it by checking in a few places for pending irq work, first before changing the decrementer in decrementer_set_next_event() and after changing it in the same function and in timer_interrupt().

Commit fbd7740f(powerpc: Simplify pSeries idle loop) switched pseries cpu idle handling from complete idle loops to ppc_md.powersave functions. Earlier to this switch, ppc64_runlatch_off() had to be called in each of the idle routines. But after the switch, this call is handled in arch_cpu_idle(),just before the call to ppc_md.powersave, where platform specific idle routines are called. As a consequence, the call to ppc64_runlatch_off() got duplicated in the arch_cpu_idle() routine as well as in the some of the idle routines in pseries and commit fbd7740f missed to get rid of these redundant calls. These calls were carried over subsequent enhancements to the pseries cpuidle routines. Although multiple calls to ppc64_runlatch_off() is harmless, there is still some overhead due to it. Besides that, these calls could also make way for a misunderstanding that it is *necessary* to call ppc64_runlatch_off() multiple times, when that is not the case. Hence this patch takes care of eliminating this redundancy. Signed-off-by:

There have been some weird bugs in the past where the kernel tried to associate threads of the same core to different NUMA nodes, and things went haywire after that point (as expected). But unfortunately, root-causing such issues have been quite challenging, due to the lack of appropriate debug checks in the kernel. These bugs usually lead to some odd soft-lockups in the scheduler's build-sched-domain code in the CPU hotplug path, which makes it very hard to trace it back to the incorrect cpu-to-node mappings. So add appropriate debug checks to catch such invalid cpu-to-node mappings as early as possible. Signed-off-by:

On POWER platforms, the hypervisor can notify the guest kernel about dynamic changes in the cpu-numa associativity (VPHN topology update). Hence the cpu-to-node mappings that we got from the firmware during boot, may no longer be valid after such updates. This is handled using the arch_update_cpu_topology() hook in the scheduler, and the sched-domains are rebuilt according to the new mappings. But unfortunately, at the moment, CPU hotplug ignores these updated mappings and instead queries the firmware for the cpu-to-numa relationships and uses them during CPU online. So the kernel can end up assigning wrong NUMA nodes to CPUs during subsequent CPU hotplug online operations (after booting). Further, a particularly problematic scenario can result from this bug: On POWER platforms, the SMT mode can be switched between 1, 2, 4 (and even 8) threads per core. The switch to Single-Threaded (ST) mode is performed by offlining all except the first CPU thread in each core. Switching back to SMT mode involves onlining those other threads back, in each core. Now consider this scenario: 1. During boot, the kernel gets the cpu-to-node mappings from the firmware and assigns the CPUs to NUMA nodes appropriately, during CPU online. 2. Later on, the hypervisor updates the cpu-to-node mappings dynamically and communicates this update to the kernel. The kernel in turn updates its cpu-to-node associations and rebuilds its sched domains. Everything is fine so far. 3. Now, the user switches the machine from SMT to ST mode (say, by running ppc64_cpu --smt=1). This involves offlining all except 1 thread in each core. 4. The user then tries to switch back from ST to SMT mode (say, by running ppc64_cpu --smt=4), and this involves onlining those threads back. Since CPU hotplug ignores the new mappings, it queries the firmware and tries to associate the newly onlined sibling threads to the old NUMA nodes. This results in sibling threads within the same core getting associated with different NUMA nodes, which is incorrect. The scheduler's build-sched-domains code gets thoroughly confused with this and enters an infinite loop and causes soft-lockups, as explained in detail in commit 3be7db6a (powerpc: VPHN topology change updates all siblings). So to fix this, use the numa_cpu_lookup_table to remember the updated cpu-to-node mappings, and use them during CPU hotplug online operations. Further, we also need to ensure that all threads in a core are assigned to a common NUMA node, irrespective of whether all those threads were online during the topology update. To achieve this, we take care not to use cpu_sibling_mask() since it is not hotplug invariant. Instead, we use cpu_first_sibling_thread() and set up the mappings manually using the 'threads_per_core' value for that particular platform. This helps us ensure that we don't hit this bug with any combination of CPU hotplug and SMT mode switching. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

When EEH error comes to one specific PCI device before its driver is loaded, we will apply hotplug to recover the error. During the plug time, the PCI device will be probed and its driver is loaded. Then we wrongly calls to the error handlers if the driver supports EEH explicitly. The patch intends to fix by introducing flag EEH_DEV_NO_HANDLER and set it before we remove the PCI device. In turn, we can avoid wrongly calls the error handlers of the PCI device after its driver loaded. Signed-off-by:

After reverting 25ebc45b ("powerpc/pseries/iommu: remove default window before attempting DDW manipulation"), we no longer remove the base window in enable_ddw. Therefore, we no longer need to reset the DMA window state in find_existing_ddw_windows(). We can instead go back to what was done before, which simply reuses the previous configuration, if any. Further, this removes the final caller of the reset-pe-dma-windows call, so remove those functions. This fixes an EEH on kdump with the ipr driver. The EEH occurs, because the initcall removes the DDW configuration (64-bit DMA window), but doesn't ensure the ops are via the IOMMU -- a DMA operation occurs during probe (still investigating this) and we EEH. This reverts commit 14b6f00f. Signed-off-by:

Ben rightfully pointed out that there is a race in the "newer" DDW code. Presuming we are running on recent enough firmware that supports the "reset" DDW manipulation call, we currently always remove the base 32-bit DMA window in order to maximize the resources for Phyp when creating the 64-bit window. However, this can be problematic for the case where multiple functions are in the same PE (partitionable endpoint), where some funtions might be 32-bit DMA only. All of a sudden, the only functional DMA window for such functions is gone. We will have serious errors in such situations. The best solution is simply to revert the extension to the DDW code where we ever remove the base DMA window. This reverts commit 25ebc45b. Signed-off-by:

Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next.

DMA controller 3 channel 0 internal interrupt 240 is at offset 0x3a00, and thus the corresponding interrupt number is: 0x3a00 >> 5 = 464, it's similar for other 7 interrupt numbers of DMA 3 channels.

On Freescale e6500 cores EPCR[DGTMI] controls whether guest supervisor state can execute TLB management instructions. If EPCR[DGTMI]=0 tlbwe and tlbilx are allowed to execute normally in the guest state. A hypervisor may choose to virtualize TLB1 and for this purpose it may use IPROT to protect the entries for being invalidated by the guest. However, because tlbwe and tlbilx execution in the guest state are sharing the same bit, it is not possible to have a scenario where tlbwe is allowed to be executed in guest state and tlbilx traps. When guest TLB management instructions are allowed to be executed in guest state the guest cannot use tlbilx to invalidate TLB1 guest entries. Linux is using tlbilx in the boot code to invalidate the temporary entries it creates when initializing the MMU. The patch is replacing the usage of tlbilx in initialization code with tlbwe with VALID bit cleared. Linux is also using tlbilx in other contexts (like huge pages or indirect entries) but removing the tlbilx from the initialization code offers the possibility to have scenarios under hypervisor which are not using huge pages or indirect entries.

The MVME5100 is a 6U form factor VME64 computer with: - A single MPC7410 or MPC750 CPU - A HAWK Processor Host Bridge (CPU to PCI) and MultiProcessor Interrupt Controller (MPIC) - Up to 500Mb of onboard memory - A M48T37 Real Time Clock (RTC) and Non-Volatile Memory chip - Two 16550 compatible UARTS - Two Intel E100 Fast Ethernets - Two PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) Slots - PPCBug Firmware The HAWK PHB/MPIC is compatible with the MPC10x devices. There is no onboard disk support. This is usually provided by installing a PMC in first PMC slot. This patch revives the board support, it was present in early 2.6 series kernels. The board support in those days was by Matt Porter of MontaVista Software. CSC Australia has around 31 of these boards in service. The kernel in use for the boards is based on 2.6.31.

There are a few things that make the existing hw tablewalk handlers unsuitable for e6500: - Indirect entries go in TLB1 (though the resulting direct entries go in TLB0). - It has threads, but no "tlbsrx." -- so we need a spinlock and a normal "tlbsx". Because we need this lock, hardware tablewalk is mandatory on e6500 unless we want to add spinlock+tlbsx to the normal bolted TLB miss handler. - TLB1 has no HES (nor next-victim hint) so we need software round robin (TODO: integrate this round robin data with hugetlb/KVM) - The existing tablewalk handlers map half of a page table at a time, because IBM hardware has a fixed 1MiB indirect page size. e6500 has variable size indirect entries, with a minimum of 2MiB. So we can't do the half-page indirect mapping, and even if we could it would be less efficient than mapping the full page. - Like on e5500, the linear mapping is bolted, so we don't need the overhead of supporting nested tlb misses. Note that hardware tablewalk does not work in rev1 of e6500. We do not expect to support e6500 rev1 in mainline Linux. Signed-off-by: -

There is no barrier between something like ioremap() writing to a PTE, and returning the value to a caller that may then store the pointer in a place that is visible to other CPUs. Such callers generally don't perform barriers of their own. Even if callers of ioremap() and similar things did use barriers, the most logical choise would be smp_wmb(), which is not architecturally sufficient when BookE hardware tablewalk is used. A full sync is specified by the architecture. For userspace mappings, OTOH, we generally already have an lwsync due to locking, and if we occasionally take a spurious fault due to not having a full sync with hardware tablewalk, it will not be fatal because we will retry rather than oops.

When booting above the 64M for a secondary cpu, we also face the same issue as the boot cpu that the PAGE_OFFSET map two different physical address for the init tlb and the final map. So we have to use switch_to_as1/restore_to_as0 between the conversion of these two maps. When restoring to as0 for a secondary cpu, we only need to return to the caller. So add a new parameter for function restore_to_as0 for this purpose. Use LOAD_REG_ADDR_PIC to get the address of variables which may be used before we set the final map in cams for the secondary cpu. Move the setting of cams a bit earlier in order to avoid the unnecessary using of LOAD_REG_ADDR_PIC. Signed-off-by:

This is always true for a non-relocatable kernel. Otherwise the kernel would get stuck. But for a relocatable kernel, it seems a little complicated. When booting a relocatable kernel, we just align the kernel start addr to 64M and map the PAGE_OFFSET from there. The relocation will base on this virtual address. But if this address is not the same as the memstart_addr, we will have to change the map of PAGE_OFFSET to the real memstart_addr and do another relocation again. Signed-off-by:

For a relocatable kernel since it can be loaded at any place, there is no any relation between the kernel start addr and the memstart_addr. So we can't calculate the memstart_addr from kernel start addr. And also we can't wait to do the relocation after we get the real memstart_addr from device tree because it is so late. So introduce a new function we can use to get the first memblock address and size in a very early stage (before machine_init). Signed-off-by:

We use the tlb1 entries to map low mem to the kernel space. In the current code, it assumes that the first tlb entry would cover the kernel image. But this is not true for some special cases, such as when we run a relocatable kernel above the 64M or set CONFIG_KERNEL_START above 64M. So we choose to switch to address space 1 before setting these tlb entries. Signed-off-by:

This is based on the codes in the head_44x.S. The difference is that the init tlb size we used is 64M. With this patch we can only load the kernel at address between memstart_addr ~ memstart_addr + 64M. We will fix this restriction in the following patches. Signed-off-by:
