Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
- Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks.
- Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
Power9 or later.
- Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.
- A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
architectures.
- Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.
- Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.
- A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.
- Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
usual.

Pull close_range() implementation from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the close_range() syscall. It allows to efficiently close a
range of file descriptors up to all file descriptors of a calling
task.
This is coordinated with the FreeBSD folks which have copied our
version of this syscall and in the meantime have already merged it in
April 2019:
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D21627
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=359836
The syscall originally came up in a discussion around the new mount
API and making new file descriptor types cloexec by default. During
this discussion, Al suggested the close_range() syscall.
First, it helps to close all file descriptors of an exec()ing task.
This can be done safely via (quoting Al's example from [1] verbatim):
/* that exec is sensitive */
unshare(CLONE_FILES);
/* we don't want anything past stderr here */
close_range(3, ~0U);
execve(....);
The code snippet above is one way of working around the problem that
file descriptors are not cloexec by default. This is aggravated by the
fact that we can't just switch them over without massively regressing
userspace. For a whole class of programs having an in-kernel method of
closing all file descriptors is very helpful (e.g. demons, service
managers, programming language standard libraries, container managers
etc.).
Second, it allows userspace to avoid implementing closing all file
descriptors by parsing through /proc/<pid>/fd/* and calling close() on
each file descriptor and other hacks. From looking at various
large(ish) userspace code bases this or similar patterns are very
common in service managers, container runtimes, and programming
language runtimes/standard libraries such as Python or Rust.
In addition, the syscall will also work for tasks that do not have
procfs mounted and on kernels that do not have procfs support compiled
in. In such situations the only way to make sure that all file
descriptors are closed is to call close() on each file descriptor up
to UINT_MAX or RLIMIT_NOFILE, OPEN_MAX trickery.
Based on Linus' suggestion close_range() also comes with a new flag
CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE to more elegantly handle file descriptor dropping
right before exec. This would usually be expressed in the sequence:
unshare(CLONE_FILES);
close_range(3, ~0U);
as pointed out by Linus it might be desirable to have this be a part
of close_range() itself under a new flag CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE which
gets especially handy when we're closing all file descriptors above a
certain threshold.
Test-suite as always included"

Pull fork cleanups from Christian Brauner:
"This is cleanup series from when we reworked a chunk of the process
creation paths in the kernel and switched to struct
{kernel_}clone_args.
High-level this does two main things:
- Remove the double export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() where
do_fork() used the incosistent legacy clone calling convention.
Now we only export _do_fork() which is based on struct
kernel_clone_args.
- Remove the copy_thread_tls()/copy_thread() split making the
architecture specific HAVE_COYP_THREAD_TLS config option obsolete.
This switches all remaining architectures to select
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and thus to the copy_thread_tls() calling
convention. The current split makes the process creation codepaths
more convoluted than they need to be. Each architecture has their own
copy_thread() function unless it selects HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS then it
has a copy_thread_tls() function.
The split is not needed anymore nowadays, all architectures support
CLONE_SETTLS but quite a few of them never bothered to select
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and instead simply continued to use copy_thread()
and use the old calling convention. Removing this split cleans up the
process creation codepaths and paves the way for implementing clone3()
on such architectures since it requires the copy_thread_tls() calling
convention.
After having made each architectures support copy_thread_tls() this
series simply renames that function back to copy_thread(). It also
switches all architectures that call do_fork() directly over to
_do_fork() and the struct kernel_clone_args calling convention. This
is a corollary of switching the architectures that did not yet support
it over to copy_thread_tls() since do_fork() is conditional on not
supporting copy_thread_tls() (Mostly because it lacks a separate
argument for tls which is trivial to fix but there's no need for this
function to exist.).
The do_fork() removal is in itself already useful as it allows to to
remove the export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() we currently have
in favor of only _do_fork(). This has already been discussed back when
we added clone3(). The legacy clone() calling convention is - as is
probably well-known - somewhat odd:
#
# ABI hall of shame
#
config CLONE_BACKWARDS
config CLONE_BACKWARDS2
config CLONE_BACKWARDS3
that is aggravated by the fact that some architectures such as sparc
follow the CLONE_BACKWARDSx calling convention but don't really select
the corresponding config option since they call do_fork() directly.
So do_fork() enforces a somewhat arbitrary calling convention in the
first place that doesn't really help the individual architectures that
deviate from it. They can thus simply be switched to _do_fork()
enforcing a single calling convention. (I really hope that any new
architectures will __not__ try to implement their own calling
conventions...)
Most architectures already have made a similar switch (m68k comes to
mind).
Overall this removes more code than it adds even with a good portion
of added comments. It simplifies a chunk of arch specific assembly
either by moving the code into C or by simply rewriting the assembly.
Architectures that have been touched in non-trivial ways have all been
actually boot and stress tested: sparc and ia64 have been tested with
Debian 9 images. They are the two architectures which have been
touched the most. All non-trivial changes to architectures have seen
acks from the relevant maintainers. nios2 with a custom built
buildroot image. h8300 I couldn't get something bootable to test on
but the changes have been fairly automatic and I'm sure we'll hear
people yell if I broke something there.
All other architectures that have been touched in trivial ways have
been compile tested for each single patch of the series via git rebase
-x "make ..." v5.8-rc2. arm{64} and x86{_64} have been boot tested
even though they have just been trivially touched (removal of the
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS macro from their Kconfig) because well they are
basically "core architectures" and since it is trivial to get your
hands on a useable image"

The assembler says:
arch/powerpc/kernel/head_40x.S:623: Warning: invalid register expression
It's objecting to the use of r0 as the RA argument. That's because
when RA = 0 the literal value 0 is used, rather than the content of
r0, making the use of r0 in the source potentially confusing.
Fix it to use a literal 0, the generated code is identical.

Currently, numa & prom are the only users of drmem LMB walk code.
Loading kdump with kexec_file also needs to walk the drmem LMBs to
setup the usable memory ranges for kdump kernel. But there are couple
of issues in using the code as is. One, walk_drmem_lmb() code is built
into the .init section currently, while kexec_file needs it later.
Two, there is no scope to pass data to the callback function for
processing and/or erroring out on certain conditions.
Fix that by, moving drmem LMB walk code out of .init section, adding
scope to pass data to the callback function and bailing out when an
error is encountered in the callback function.

With the proposed change in percpu bootmem allocator to use page
mapping [1], the percpu first chunk memory area can come from vmalloc
ranges. This makes the HMI (Hypervisor Maintenance Interrupt) handler
crash the kernel whenever percpu variable is accessed in real mode.
This patch fixes this issue by moving the HMI IRQ stat inside paca for
safe access in realmode.

This adds a kernel command line option that can be used to disable GTSE support.
Disabling GTSE implies kernel will make hcalls to invalidate TLB entries.
This was done so that we can do VM migration between configs that enable/disable
GTSE support via hypervisor. To migrate a VM from a system that supports
GTSE to a system that doesn't, we can boot the guest with
radix_hcall_invalidate=on, thereby forcing the guest to use hcalls for TLB
invalidates.
The check for hcall availability is done in pSeries_setup_arch so that
the panic message appears on the console. This should only happen on
a hypervisor that doesn't force the guest to hash translation even
though it can't handle the radix GTSE=0 request via CAS. With
radix_hcall_invalidate=on if the hypervisor doesn't support hcall_rpt_invalidate
hcall it should force the LPAR to hash translation.

All 32 and 64-bit builds that don't have CONFIG_TAU_INT enabled (all
of them), get a definition of TAUException() in traps.c.
On 64-bit it's completely useless, and just wastes ~120 bytes of text.
On 32-bit it allows the kernel to link because head_32.S calls it
unconditionally.
Instead follow the example of altivec_assist_exception(), and if
CONFIG_TAU_INT is not enabled just point it at unknown_exception using
the preprocessor.

KVM guests have certain restrictions and performance quirks when using
doorbells. This patch moves the EPAPR KVM guest test so it can be shared
with PSERIES, and uses that in doorbell setup code to apply the KVM
guest quirks and improves IPI performance for two cases:
- PowerVM guests may now use doorbells even if they are secure.
- KVM guests no longer use doorbells if XIVE is available.
There is a valid complaint that "KVM guest" is not a very reasonable
thing to test for, it's preferable for the hypervisor to advertise
particular behaviours to the guest so they could change if the
hypervisor implementation or configuration changes. However in this case
we were already assuming a KVM guest worst case, so this patch is about
containing those quirks. If KVM later advertises fast doorbells, we
should test for that and override the quirks.

Commit 2f92447f9f96 ("powerpc/book3s64/hash: Use the pte_t address from the
caller") removed the local_irq_disable from hash_preload, but it was
required for more than just the page table walk: the hash pte busy bit is
effectively a lock which may be taken in interrupt context, and the local
update flag test must not be preempted before it's used.
This solves apparent lockups with perf interrupting __hash_page_64K. If
get_perf_callchain then also takes a hash fault on the same page while it
is already locked, it will loop forever taking hash faults, which looks like
this:

The EEH core has a concept of a "PE tree" to support PowerNV. The PE tree
follows the PCI bus structures because a reset asserted on an upstream
bridge will be propagated to the downstream bridges. On pseries there's a
1-1 correspondence between what the guest sees are a PHB and a PE so the
"tree" is really just a single node.
Current the EEH core is reponsible for setting up this PE tree which it
does by traversing the pci_dn tree. The structure of the pci_dn tree
matches the bus tree on PowerNV which leads to the PE tree being "correct"
this setup method doesn't make a whole lot of sense and it's actively
confusing for the pseries case where it doesn't really do anything.
We want to remove the dependence on pci_dn anyway so this patch move
choosing where to insert a new PE into the platform code rather than
being part of the generic EEH code. For PowerNV this simplifies the
tree building logic and removes the use of pci_dn. For pseries we
keep the existing logic. I'm not really convinced it does anything
due to the 1-1 PE-to-PHB correspondence so every device under that
PHB should be in the same PE, but I'd rather not remove it entirely
until we've had a chance to look at it more deeply.

This is mostly just to make the subsequent diffs less noisy. No functional
changes.
One thing that needs calling out is the removal of the "config_addr"
variable and replacing it with edev->bdfn. The contents of edev->bdfn are
the same, however it's worth pointing out that what RTAS calls a
"config_addr" isn't the same as the bdfn. The config_addr is supposed to
be: <bus><devfn><reg> with each field being an 8 bit number. Various parts
of the EEH code use BDFN and "config_addr" as interchangeable quantities
even though they aren't really.

The naming of eeh_{add_to|remove_from}_parent_pe() doesn't really reflect
what they actually do. If the PE referred to be edev->pe_config_addr
already exists under that PHB then the edev is added to that PE. However,
if the PE doesn't exist the a new one is created for the edev.
The bulk of the implementation of eeh_add_to_parent_pe() covers that
second case. Similarly, most of eeh_remove_from_parent_pe() is
determining when it's safe to delete a PE.

There's a bunch of strange things about this code. First up is that none of
the fields being written to are functional for a VF. The SR-IOV
specification lists then as "Reserved, but OS should preserve" so writing
new values to them doesn't do anything and is clearly wrong from a
correctness perspective.
However, since VFs are designed to be managed by the OS there is an
argument to be made that we should be saving and restoring some parts of
config space. We already sort of do that by saving the first 64 bytes of
config space in the eeh_dev (see eeh_dev->config_space[]). This is
inadequate since it doesn't even consider saving and restoring the PCI
capability structures. However, this is a problem with EEH in general and
that needs to be fixed for non-VF devices too.
There's no real reason to keep around this around so delete it.

Drivers that do not support the PCI error handling callbacks are handled by
tearing down the device and re-probing them. If the device being removed is
a virtual function then we need to know the VF index so it can be removed
using the pci_iov_{add|remove}_virtfn() API.
Currently this is handled by looking up the pci_dn, and using the vf_index
that was stashed there when the pci_dn for the VF was created in
pcibios_sriov_enable(). We would like to eliminate the use of pci_dn
outside of pseries though so we need to provide the generic EEH code with
some other way to find the vf_index.
The easiest thing to do here is move the vf_index field out of pci_dn and
into eeh_dev. Currently pci_dn and eeh_dev are allocated and initialized
together so this is a fairly minimal change in preparation for splitting
pci_dn and eeh_dev in the future.

Pedro Miraglia Franco de Carvalho noticed that on p8/p9, DAR value is
inconsistent with different type of load/store. Like for byte,word
etc. load/stores, DAR is set to the address of the first byte of
overlap between watch range and real access. But for quadword load/
store it's sometime set to the address of the first byte of real
access whereas sometime set to the address of the first byte of
overlap. This issue has been fixed in p10. In p10(ISA 3.1), DAR is
always set to the address of the first byte of overlap. Commit 27985b2a640e
("powerpc/watchpoint: Don't ignore extraneous exceptions blindly")
wrongly assumes that DAR is set to the address of the first byte of
overlap for all load/stores on p8/p9 as well. Fix that. With the fix,
we now rely on 'ea' provided by analyse_instr(). If analyse_instr()
fails, generate event unconditionally on p8/p9, and on p10 generate
event only if DAR is within a DAWR range.
Note: 8xx is not affected.

Milton Miller reported that we are aligning start and end address to
wrong size SZ_512M. It should be SZ_512. Fix that.
While doing this change I also found a case where ALIGN() comparison
fails. Within a given aligned range, ALIGN() of two addresses does not
match when start address is pointing to the first byte and end address
is pointing to any other byte except the first one. But that's not true
for ALIGN_DOWN(). ALIGN_DOWN() of any two addresses within that range
will always point to the first byte. So use ALIGN_DOWN() instead of
ALIGN().

The UDP reuseport conflict was a little bit tricky.
The net-next code, via bpf-next, extracted the reuseport handling
into a helper so that the BPF sk lookup code could invoke it.
At the same time, the logic for reuseport handling of unconnected
sockets changed via commit efc6b6f6c3113e8b203b9debfb72d81e0f3dcace
which changed the logic to carry on the reuseport result into the
rest of the lookup loop if we do not return immediately.
This requires moving the reuseport_has_conns() logic into the callers.
While we are here, get rid of inline directives as they do not belong
in foo.c files.
The other changes were cases of more straightforward overlapping
modifications.

reduce MSR updates. The scv instruction has 128 levels (not enough to
cover the Linux system call space).
Assignment and advertisement
----------------------------
The proposal is to assign scv levels conservatively, and advertise
them with HWCAP feature bits as we add support for more.
Linux has not enabled FSCR[SCV] yet, so executing the scv instruction
will cause the kernel to log a "SCV facility unavilable" message, and
deliver a SIGILL with ILL_ILLOPC to the process. Linux has defined a
HWCAP2 bit PPC_FEATURE2_SCV for SCV support, but does not set it.
This change allocates the zero level ('scv 0'), advertised with
PPC_FEATURE2_SCV, which will be used to provide normal Linux system
calls (equivalent to 'sc').
Attempting to execute scv with other levels will cause a SIGILL to be
delivered the same as before, but will not log a "SCV facility
unavailable" message (because the processor facility is enabled).
Calling convention
------------------
The proposal is for scv 0 to provide the standard Linux system call
ABI with the following differences from sc convention[1]:
- LR is to be volatile across scv calls. This is necessary because the
scv instruction clobbers LR. From previous discussion, this should
be possible to deal with in GCC clobbers and CFI.
- cr1 and cr5-cr7 are volatile. This matches the C ABI and would allow
the kernel system call exit to avoid restoring the volatile cr
registers (although we probably still would anyway to avoid
information leaks).
- Error handling: The consensus among kernel, glibc, and musl is to
move to using negative return values in r3 rather than CR0[SO]=1 to
indicate error, which matches most other architectures, and is
closer to a function call.
Notes
-----
- r0,r4-r8 are documented as volatile in the ABI, but the kernel patch
as submitted currently preserves them. This is to leave room for
deciding which way to go with these. Some small benefit was found by
preserving them[1] but I'm not convinced it's worth deviating from
the C function call ABI just for this. Release code should follow
the ABI.
