Merge our fixes branch from the 4.15 cycle.
Unusually the fixes branch saw some significant features merged,
notably the RFI flush patches, so we want the code in next to be
tested against that, to avoid any surprises when the two are merged.
There's also some other work on the panic handling that was reverted
in fixes and we now want to do properly in next, which would conflict.
And we also fix a few other minor merge conflicts.

New Kconfig is added "CONFIG_PPC_IRQ_SOFT_MASK_DEBUG" to add WARN_ON
to alert the invalid transitions. Also moved the code under the
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS in arch_local_irq_restore() to new Kconfig.

Two new bit mask field "IRQ_DISABLE_MASK_PMU" is introduced to support
the masking of PMI and "IRQ_DISABLE_MASK_ALL" to aid interrupt masking
checking.
Couple of new irq #defs "PACA_IRQ_PMI" and "SOFTEN_VALUE_0xf0*" added
to use in the exception code to check for PMI interrupts.
In the masked_interrupt handler, for PMIs we reset the MSR[EE] and
return. In the __check_irq_replay(), replay the PMI interrupt by
calling performance_monitor_common handler.

Rename the paca->soft_enabled to paca->irq_soft_mask as it is no

"paca->soft_enabled" is used as a flag to mask some of interrupts.
Currently supported flags values and their details:
soft_enabled MSR[EE]
0 0 Disabled (PMI and HMI not masked)
1 1 Enabled
"paca->soft_enabled" is initialized to 1 to make the interripts as
enabled. arch_local_irq_disable() will toggle the value when
interrupts needs to disbled. At this point, the interrupts are not
actually disabled, instead, interrupt vector has code to check for the
flag and mask it when it occurs. By "mask it", it update interrupt
paca->irq_happened and return. arch_local_irq_restore() is called to
re-enable interrupts, which checks and replays interrupts if any
occured.
Now, as mentioned, current logic doesnot mask "performance monitoring
interrupts" and PMIs are implemented as NMI. But this patchset depends
on local_irq_* for a successful local_* update. Meaning, mask all
possible interrupts during local_* update and replay them after the
update.
So the idea here is to reserve the "paca->soft_enabled" logic. New
values and details:
soft_enabled MSR[EE]
1 0 Disabled (PMI and HMI not masked)
0 1 Enabled
Reason for the this change is to create foundation for a third mask
value "0x2" for "soft_enabled" to add support to mask PMIs. When
->soft_enabled is set to a value "3", PMI interrupts are mask and when
set to a value of "1", PMI are not mask. With this patch also extends
soft_enabled as interrupt disable mask.
Current flags are renamed from IRQ_[EN?DIS}ABLED to
IRQS_ENABLED and IRQS_DISABLED.
Patch also fixes the ptrace call to force the user to see the softe
value to be alway 1. Reason being, even though userspace has no
business knowing about softe, it is part of pt_regs. Like-wise in
signal context.

Commit 177ba7c647f3 ("powerpc/mm/radix: Limit paca allocation in radix")
limited the paca allocation address to 1G on pSeries because RTAS return
accesses the paca in 32-bit mode:
On return from RTAS we access the paca variables and we have 64 bit
disabled. This requires us to limit paca in 32 bit range.
Fix this by setting ppc64_rma_size to first_memblock_size/1G range.
Avoid this limit by switching to 64-bit mode before accessing any memory.

When an interrupt is returning to a soft-disabled context (which can
happen for non-maskable interrupts or synchronous interrupts), it goes
through the motions of soft-disabling again, including calling
TRACE_DISABLE_INTS (i.e., trace_hardirqs_off()).
This is not necessary, because we must already be soft-disabled in the
interrupt context, it also may be causing crashes in the irq tracing
code to re-enter as an nmi. Replace it with a warning to ensure that
soft-interrupts are still disabled.

CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 indicates support for the "standard" powerpc MMU
on 64-bit CPUs. The "standard" MMU refers to the hash page table MMU
found in "server" processors, from IBM mainly.
Currently CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 is == CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64. While it's
annoying to have two symbols that always have the same value, it's not
quite annoying enough to bother removing one.
However with the arrival of Power9, we now have the situation where
CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 is enabled, but the kernel is running using the
Radix MMU - *not* the "standard" MMU. So it is now actively confusing
to use it, because it implies that code is disabled or inactive when
the Radix MMU is in use, however that is not necessarily true.
So s/CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64/CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64/, and do some minor
formatting updates of some of the affected lines.
This will be a pain for backports, but c'est la vie.

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.

The ISA v3.0B copy-paste facility only requires cpabort when switching
to a process that has foreign real addresses mapped (direct access to
accelerators), to clear a potential copy buffer filled by a previous
thread. There is no accelerator driver implemented yet, so cpabort can
be removed. It can be be re-added when a driver is implemented.
POWER9 DD1 requires the copy buffer to always be cleared on context
switch, but if accelerators are not in use, then an unpaired copy from
a dummy region is sufficient to clear data out of the copy buffer.
This increases context switch performance by about 5% on POWER9.

The sync (aka. hwsync, aka. heavyweight sync) in the context switch
code to prevent MMIO access being reordered from the point of view of
a single process if it gets migrated to a different CPU is not
required because there is an hwsync performed earlier in the context
switch path.
Comment this so it's clear enough if anything changes on the scheduler
or the powerpc sides. Remove the hwsync from _switch.
This improves context switch performance by 2-3% on POWER8.

The syscall exit code that branches to restore_math is quite heavy on
Book3S, consisting of 2 mtmsr instructions. Threads that don't use both
FP and vector can get caught here if the kernel ever uses FP or vector.
Lazy-FP/vec context switching also trips this case.
So check for lazy FP and vector before switching RI for restore_math.
Move most of this case out of line.
For threads that do want to restore math registers, the MSR switches are
still suboptimal. Future direction may be to use a soft-RI bit to avoid
MSR switches in kernel (similar to soft-EE), but for now at least the
no-restore
POWER9 context switch rate increases by about 5% due to sched_yield(2)
return performance. I haven't constructed a test to measure the syscall
cost.

not emulate actual store in emulate_step() because it may corrupt the exception
frame. So the kernel does the actual store operation in exception return code
i.e. resume_kernel().
resume_kernel() loads the saved stack pointer from memory using lwz, which only
loads the low 32-bits of the address, causing the kernel crash.
Fix this by loading the 64-bit value instead.

mtmsrd with L=1 only affects MSR_EE and MSR_RI bits, and we always
know what state those bits are, so the kernel MSR does not need to be
loaded when modifying them.
mtmsrd is often in the critical execution path, so avoiding dependency
on even L1 load is noticable. On a POWER8 this saves about 3 cycles
from the syscall path, and possibly a few from other exception returns
(not measured).

check will load the paca into r13 and overwrite what we loaded
it with, because exceptions returning to privileged mode do not
restore r13.

MMU feature bits are defined such that we use the lower half to
present MMU family features. Remove the strict split of half and
also move Radix to a mmu family feature. Radix introduce a new MMU
model and strictly speaking it is a new MMU family. This also free
up bits which can be used for individual features later.

This patch provides VIRT_CPU_ACCOUTING to PPC32 architecture.
PPC32 doesn't have the PACA structure, so we use the task_info
structure to store the accounting data.
In order to reuse on PPC32 the PPC64 functions, all u64 data has
been replaced by 'unsigned long' so that it is u32 on PPC32 and
u64 on PPC64

We're approaching 20 locations where we need to check for ELF ABI v2.
That's fine, except the logic is a bit awkward, because we have to check
that _CALL_ELF is defined and then what its value is.
So check it once in asm/types.h and define PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2 when ELF ABI
v2 is detected.
We also have a few places where what we're really trying to check is
that we are using the 64-bit v1 ABI, ie. function descriptors. So also
add a #define for that, which simplifies several checks.

The copy paste facility introduced in POWER9 provides an optimised
mechanism for a userspace application to copy a cacheline. This is
provided by a pair of instructions, copy and paste, while a third,
cp_abort (copy paste abort), provides a clean up of the state in case of
a failure.
The copy instruction will read a 128 byte cacheline and store it in an
internal buffer. The subsequent paste instruction will store this
internal buffer to memory and set a CR field if the paste succeeds.
Since the state of the copy paste buffer is internal (and not
architecturally visible), in the unlikely event of a context switch, the
state cannot be stored and the paste should therefore fail.
The cp_abort instruction exists to fail and clean up any such
interrupted copy paste sequence and is to be called by the kernel as
part of the context switch. Doing so prevents data from a preceding copy
in one process leaking into the paste of another.
This code enables use of the cp_abort instruction if a supported
processor is detected.
NOTE: this is for userspace only, not in kernel, and does not deal
with KVM guests.

Merge the support for live patching on ppc64le using mprofile-kernel.
This branch has also been merged into the livepatching tree for v4.7.
|

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".

Commit 70fe3d9 "powerpc: Restore FPU/VEC/VSX if previously used" introduces a
call to restore_math() late in the syscall return path, after MSR_RI has been
cleared. The MSR_RI flag is used to indicate whether the kernel can take
another exception or not. A cleared MSR_RI flag indicates that the kernel
cannot.
Unfortunately when a machine is under SLB pressure an SLB miss can occur
in restore_math() which (with MSR_RI cleared) leads to an unrecoverable
exception.
Unrecoverable exception 4100 at c0000000000088d8

The clearing of MSR_RI is actually an optimisation to avoid multiple MSR
writes, what must be disabled are interrupts. See comment in entry_64.S:
/*
* For performance reasons we clear RI the same time that we
* clear EE. We only need to clear RI just before we restore r13
* below, but batching it with EE saves us one expensive mtmsrd call.
* We have to be careful to restore RI if we branch anywhere from
* here (eg syscall_exit_work).
*/
At the point of calling restore_math() r13 has not been restored, as such, the
quick fix of turning MSR_RI back on for the call to restore_math() will
eliminate the occurrence of an unrecoverable exception.
We'd like to do a better fix in future.

Merge the ftrace changes to support -mprofile-kernel on ppc64le. This is
a prerequisite for live patching, the support for which will be merged
via the livepatch tree based on this topic branch.

The gcc switch -mprofile-kernel defines a new ABI for calling _mcount()
very early in the function with minimal overhead.
Although mprofile-kernel has been available since GCC 3.4, there were
bugs which were only fixed recently. Currently it is known to work in
GCC 4.9, 5 and 6.
Additionally there are two possible code sequences generated by the
flag, the first uses mflr/std/bl and the second is optimised to omit the
std. Currently only gcc 6 has the optimised sequence. This patch
supports both sequences.
Initial work started by Vojtech Pavlik, used with permission.
Key changes:
- rework _mcount() to work for both the old and new ABIs.
- implement new versions of ftrace_caller() and ftrace_graph_caller()
which deal with the new ABI.
- updates to __ftrace_make_nop() to recognise the new mcount calling
sequence.
- updates to __ftrace_make_call() to recognise the nop'ed sequence.
- implement ftrace_modify_call().
- updates to the module loader to surpress the toc save in the module
stub when calling mcount with the new ABI.

Currently the FPU, VEC and VSX facilities are lazily loaded. This is not
a problem unless a process is using these facilities.
Modern versions of GCC are very good at automatically vectorising code,
new and modernised workloads make use of floating point and vector
facilities, even the kernel makes use of vectorised memcpy.
All this combined greatly increases the cost of a syscall since the
kernel uses the facilities sometimes even in syscall fast-path making it
increasingly common for a thread to take an *_unavailable exception soon
after a syscall, not to mention potentially taking all three.
The obvious overcompensation to this problem is to simply always load
all the facilities on every exit to userspace. Loading up all FPU, VEC
and VSX registers every time can be expensive and if a workload does
avoid using them, it should not be forced to incur this penalty.
An 8bit counter is used to detect if the registers have been used in the
past and the registers are always loaded until the value wraps to back
to zero.
Several versions of the assembly in entry_64.S were tested:
1. Always calling C.
2. Performing a common case check and then calling C.
3. A complex check in asm.
After some benchmarking it was determined that avoiding C in the common
case is a performance benefit (option 2). The full check in asm (option
3) greatly complicated that codepath for a negligible performance gain
and the trade-off was deemed not worth it.
