commit 85101af13bb854a6572fa540df7c7201958624b9 upstream.

ABIv2 kernels are failing to backtrace through the kernel. An example:

39.30%  readseek2_proce  [kernel.kallsyms]    [k] find_get_entry
            |
            --- find_get_entry
               __GI___libc_read

The problem is in valid_next_sp() where we check that the new stack
pointer is at least STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD below the previous one.

ABIv1 has a minimum stack frame size of 112 bytes consisting of 48 bytes
and 64 bytes of parameter save area. ABIv2 changes that to 32 bytes
with no paramter save area.

STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD is in theory the minimum stack frame size,
but we over 240 uses of it, some of which assume that it includes
space for the parameter area.

We need to work through all our stack defines and rationalise them
but let's fix perf now by creating STACK_FRAME_MIN_SIZE and using
in valid_next_sp(). This fixes the issue:

30.64%  readseek2_proce  [kernel.kallsyms]    [k] find_get_entry
            |
            --- find_get_entry
               pagecache_get_page
               generic_file_read_iter
               new_sync_read
               vfs_read
               sys_read
               syscall_exit
               __GI___libc_read

commit f1b3929c232784580e5d8ee324b6bc634e709575 upstream.

While running command "drmgr -c phb -r -s 'PHB 528'", following
backtrace jumped out because the target device node isn't marked
with OF_DETACHED by of_detach_node(), which caused by error
returned from memory hotplug related reconfig notifier when
disabling CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. The patch fixes it.

commit 85c1fafd7262e68ad821ee1808686b1392b1167d upstream.

On ppc64 we support 4K hash pte with 64K page size. That requires
us to track the hash pte slot information on a per 4k basis. We do that
by storing the slot details in the second half of pte page. The pte bit
_PAGE_COMBO is used to indicate whether the second half need to be
looked while building real_pte. We need to use read memory barrier while
doing that so that load of hidx is not reordered w.r.t _PAGE_COMBO
check. On the store side we already do a lwsync in __hash_page_4K

commit 4badad352a6bb202ec68afa7a574c0bb961e5ebc upstream.

The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice;
this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32,
metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon.

There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to
trigger, so blacklist this.

Opt in for known good archs.

<title>powerpc/perf: Clear MMCR2 when enabling PMU</title>

<id>271668a92d00b641e886c897f8ca06df59a4c158</id>
<content type='text'>
commit b50a6c584bb47b370f84bfd746770c0bbe7129b7 upstream.

On POWER8 when switching to a KVM guest we set bits in MMCR2 to freeze
the PMU counters. Aside from on boot they are then never reset,
resulting in stuck perf counters for any user in the guest or host.

We now set MMCR2 to 0 whenever enabling the PMU, which provides a sane
state for perf to use the PMU counters under either the guest or the
host.

This was manifesting as a bug with ppc64_cpu --frequency:

    $ sudo ppc64_cpu --frequency
    WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 0
    WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 8
      ...
    WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 144
    WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 152
    min:    18446744073.710 GHz (cpu -1)
    max:    0.000 GHz (cpu -1)
    avg:    0.000 GHz

The command uses a perf counter to measure CPU cycles over a fixed
amount of time, in order to approximate the frequency of the machine.
The counters were returning zero once a guest was started, regardless of
weather it was still running or had been shut down.

By dumping the value of MMCR2, it was observed that once a guest is
running MMCR2 is set to 1s - which stops counters from running:

    $ sudo sh -c 'echo p &gt; /proc/sysrq-trigger'
    CPU: 0 PMU registers, ppmu = POWER8 n_counters = 6

it.

commit b50a6c584bb47b370f84bfd746770c0bbe7129b7 upstream.

On POWER8 when switching to a KVM guest we set bits in MMCR2 to freeze
the PMU counters. Aside from on boot they are then never reset,
resulting in stuck perf counters for any user in the guest or host.

We now set MMCR2 to 0 whenever enabling the PMU, which provides a sane
state for perf to use the PMU counters under either the guest or the
host.

This was manifesting as a bug with ppc64_cpu --frequency:

    $ sudo ppc64_cpu --frequency
    WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 0
    WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 8
      ...
    WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 144
    WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 152
    min:    18446744073.710 GHz (cpu -1)
    max:    0.000 GHz (cpu -1)
    avg:    0.000 GHz

The command uses a perf counter to measure CPU cycles over a fixed
amount of time, in order to approximate the frequency of the machine.
The counters were returning zero once a guest was started, regardless of
weather it was still running or had been shut down.

By dumping the value of MMCR2, it was observed that once a guest is
running MMCR2 is set to 1s - which stops counters from running:

    $ sudo sh -c 'echo p &gt; /proc/sysrq-trigger'
    CPU: 0 PMU registers, ppmu = POWER8 n_counters = 6
    PMC1:  5b635e38 PMC2: 00000000 PMC3: 00000000 PMC4: 00000000

commit 4d9690dd56b0d18f2af8a9d4a279cb205aae3345 upstream.

Instead of separate bits for every POWER8 PMU feature, have a single one
for v2.07 of the architecture.

This saves us adding a MMCR2 define for a future patch.

commit f56029410a13cae3652d1f34788045c40a13ffc7 upstream.

We are seeing a lot of PMU warnings on POWER8:

    Can't find PMC that caused IRQ

Looking closer, the active PMC is 0 at this point and we took a PMU
exception on the transition from negative to 0. Some versions of POWER8
have an issue where they edge detect and not level detect PMC overflows.

A number of places program the PMC with (0x80000000 - period_left),
where period_left can be negative. We can either fix all of these or
just ensure that period_left is always &gt;= 1.

This patch takes the second option.

commit dd58a092c4202f2bd490adab7285b3ff77f8e467 upstream.

The Vector Crypto category instructions are supported by current POWER8
chips, advertise them to userspace using a specific bit to properly
differentiate with chips of the same architecture level that might not
have them.
