powerpc/64s: Wire up cpu_show_meltdown()

2018-02-13T11:35:55+00:00

commit fd6e440f20b1a4304553775fc55938848ff617c9 upstream.

The recent commit 87590ce6e373 ("sysfs/cpu: Add vulnerability folder")
added a generic folder and set of files for reporting information on
CPU vulnerabilities. One of those was for meltdown:

  /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown

This commit wires up that file for 64-bit Book3S powerpc.

For now we default to "Vulnerable" unless the RFI flush is enabled.
That may not actually be true on all hardware, further patches will
refine the reporting based on the CPU/platform etc. But for now we
default to being pessimists.

security/keys: add CONFIG_KEYS_COMPAT to Kconfig

2017-11-18T10:22:24+00:00

commit 47b2c3fff4932e6fc17ce13d51a43c6969714e20 upstream.

CONFIG_KEYS_COMPAT is defined in arch-specific Kconfigs and is missing for
several 64-bit architectures : mips, parisc, tile.

At the moment and for those architectures, calling in 32-bit userspace the
keyctl syscall would return an ENOSYS error.

This patch moves the CONFIG_KEYS_COMPAT option to security/keys/Kconfig, to
make sure the compatibility wrapper is registered by default for any 64-bit
architecture as long as it is configured with CONFIG_COMPAT.

[DH: Modified to remove arm64 compat enablement also as requested by Eric
 Biggers]

powerpc/ftrace: Fix confusing help text for DISABLE_MPROFILE_KERNEL

2017-05-14T12:00:14+00:00

commit 496e9cb5b2aa2ba303d2bbd08518f9be2219ab4b upstream.

The final paragraph of the help text is reversed. We want to enable
this option by default, and disable it if the toolchain has a working
-mprofile-kernel.

atomic64: no need for CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

This came to light when implementing native 64-bit atomics for ARCv2.

The atomic64 self-test code uses CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE
to check whether atomic64_dec_if_positive() is available.  It seems it
was needed when not every arch defined it.  However as of current code
the Kconfig option seems needless

 - for CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 it is auto-enabled in lib/Kconfig and a
   generic definition of API is present lib/atomic64.c
 - arches with native 64-bit atomics select it in arch/*/Kconfig and
   define the API in their headers

So I see no point in keeping the Kconfig option

Compile tested for:
 - blackfin (CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64)
 - x86 (!CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64)
 - ia64

powerpc: Only disable HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS on POWER7 little endian

2016-10-04T05:15:00+00:00

POWER8 handles unaligned accesses in little endian mode, but commit
0b5e6661ac69 ("powerpc: Don't set HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS on
little endian builds") disabled it for all.

The issue with unaligned little endian accesses is specific to POWER7,
so update the Kconfig check to match. Using the stat() testcase from
commit a75c380c7129 ("powerpc: Enable DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS on ppc64le"),
performance improves 15% on POWER8.

powerpc/boot: Use CONFIG_KERNEL_GZIP

2016-09-28T04:25:55+00:00

Most architectures allow the compression algorithm used to produced the
vmlinuz image to be selected as a kernel config option. In preperation
for supporting algorithms other than gzip in the powerpc boot wrapper
the makefile needs to be modified to use these config options.

powerpc/mm: Update FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER range to allow hugetlb w/4K

2016-09-20T04:40:41+00:00

For hugetlb to work with 4K page size, we need MAX_ORDER to be 13 or
more. When switching from a 64K page size to 4K linux page size using
make oldconfig, we end up with a CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER value of 9.
This results in a 16M hugepage beiing considered as a gigantic huge page
which in turn results in failure to setup hugepages if gigantic hugepage
support is not enabled.

This also results in kernel crash with 4K radix configuration. We
hit the below BUG_ON on radix:

powerpc/Makefile: Drop CONFIG_WORD_SIZE for BITS

2016-09-13T07:37:06+00:00

Commit 2578bfae84a7 ("[POWERPC] Create and use CONFIG_WORD_SIZE") added
CONFIG_WORD_SIZE, and suggests that other arches were going to do
likewise.

But that never happened, powerpc is the only architecture which uses it.

So switch to using a simple make variable, BITS, like x86, sh, sparc and
tile. It is also easier to spell and simpler, avoiding any confusion
about whether it's defined due to ordering of make vs kconfig.
