commit 808be31426af57af22268ef0fcb42617beb3d15b upstream.
Back in 7230c5644188 ("powerpc: Rework lazy-interrupt handling") we
added a call out to restore_interrupts() (written in c) before calling
do_notify_resume:
bl restore_interrupts
addi r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD
bl do_notify_resume
Unfortunately do_notify_resume takes two arguments, the second one
being the thread_info flags:
void do_notify_resume(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long thread_info_flags)
We do populate r4 (the second argument) earlier, but
restore_interrupts() is free to muck it up all it wants. My guess is
the gcc compiler gods shone down on us and its register allocator
never used r4. Sometimes, rarely, luck is on our side.
LLVM on the other hand did trample r4.

commit 84b073868b9d9e754ae48b828337633d1b386482 upstream.
When reading from the dispatch trace log (dtl) userspace interface, I
sometimes see duplicate entries. One example:
# hexdump -C dtl.out
00000000 07 04 00 0c 00 00 48 44 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000010 00 0c a0 b4 16 83 6d 68 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000020 00 00 00 00 10 00 13 50 80 00 00 00 00 00 d0 32
00000030 07 04 00 0c 00 00 48 44 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

00000050 00 00 00 00 10 00 13 50 80 00 00 00 00 00 d0 32
The problem is in scan_dispatch_log() where we call dtl_consumer()
but bail out before incrementing the index.
To fix this I moved dtl_consumer() after the timebase comparison.

rtas_data_buf may truncated in memcpy.
if contents are really truncated.
the splpar_strlen is more than 1026. the next while loop checking will

commit f5f6cbb61610b7bf9d9d96db9c3979d62a424bab upstream.
/proc/powerpc/lparcfg is an ancient facility (though still actively used)
which allows access to some informations relative to the partition when
running underneath a PAPR compliant hypervisor.
It makes no sense on non-pseries machines. However, currently, not only
can it be created on these if the kernel has pseries support, but accessing
it on such a machine will crash due to trying to do hypervisor calls.
In fact, it should also not do HV calls on older pseries that didn't have
an hypervisor either.
Finally, it has the plumbing to be a module but is a "bool" Kconfig option.
This fixes the whole lot by turning it into a machine_device_initcall
that is only created on pseries, and adding the necessary hypervisor
check before calling the H_GET_EM_PARMS hypercall

commit bf593907f7236e95698a76b7c7a2bbf8b1165327 upstream.
Normally, the kernel emulates a few instructions that are unimplemented
on some processors (e.g. the old dcba instruction), or privileged (e.g.
mfpvr). The emulation of unimplemented instructions is currently not
working on the PowerNV platform. The reason is that on these machines,
unimplemented and illegal instructions cause a hypervisor emulation
assist interrupt, rather than a program interrupt as on older CPUs.
Our vector for the emulation assist interrupt just calls
program_check_exception() directly, without setting the bit in SRR1
that indicates an illegal instruction interrupt. This fixes it by
making the emulation assist interrupt set that bit before calling
program_check_interrupt(). With this, old programs that use no-longer
implemented instructions such as dcba now work again.

commit f5295bd8ea8a65dc5eac608b151386314cb978f1 upstream.
In copy_oldmem_page, the current check using max_pfn and min_low_pfn to
decide if the page is backed or not, is not valid when the memory layout is
not continuous.
This happens when running as a QEMU/KVM guest, where RTAS is mapped higher
in the memory. In that case max_pfn points to the end of RTAS, and a hole
between the end of the kdump kernel and RTAS is not backed by PTEs. As a
consequence, the kdump kernel is crashing in copy_oldmem_page when accessing
in a direct way the pages in that hole.
This fix relies on the memblock's service memblock_is_region_memory to
check if the read page is part or not of the directly accessible memory.

commit 91b973f90c1220d71923e7efe1e61f5329806380 upstream.
The code in remove_cache_dir() is supposed to remove the "cache"
subdirectory from the sysfs directory for a CPU when that CPU is
being offlined. It tries to do this by calling kobject_put() on
the kobject for the subdirectory. However, the subdirectory only
gets removed once the last reference goes away, and the reference
being put here may well not be the last reference. That means
that the "cache" subdirectory may still exist when the offlining
operation has finished. If the same CPU subsequently gets onlined,
the code tries to add a new "cache" subdirectory. If the old
subdirectory has not yet been removed, we get a WARN_ON in the
sysfs code, with stack trace, and an error message printed on the
console. Further, we ultimately end up with an online cpu with no
"cache" subdirectory.
This fixes it by doing an explicit kobject_del() at the point where
we want the subdirectory to go away. kobject_del() removes the sysfs
directory even though the object still exists in memory. The object
will get freed at some point in the future. A subsequent onlining
operation can create a new sysfs directory, even if the old object
still exists in memory, without causing any problems.

commit ec67ad82814bee92251fd963bf01c7a173856555 upstream.
In a recent patch:
commit c13f20ac48328b05cd3b8c19e31ed6c132b44b42
Author: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org>
powerpc/signals: Mark VSX not saved with small contexts
We fixed an issue but an improved solution was later discussed after the patch
was merged.
Firstly, this patch doesn't handle the 64bit signals case, which could also hit
this issue (but has never been reported).
Secondly, the original patch isn't clear what MSR VSX should be set to. The
new approach below always clears the MSR VSX bit (to indicate no VSX is in the
context) and sets it only in the specific case where VSX is available (ie. when
VSX has been used and the signal context passed has space to provide the
state).
This reverts the original patch and replaces it with the improved solution. It
also adds a 64 bit version.

commit c13f20ac48328b05cd3b8c19e31ed6c132b44b42 upstream.
The VSX MSR bit in the user context indicates if the context contains VSX
state. Currently we set this when the process has touched VSX at any stage.
Unfortunately, if the user has not provided enough space to save the VSX state,
we can't save it but we currently still set the MSR VSX bit.
This patch changes this to clear the MSR VSX bit when the user doesn't provide
enough space. This indicates that there is no valid VSX state in the user
context.
This is needed to support get/set/make/swapcontext for applications that use
VSX but only provide a small context. For example, getcontext in glibc
provides a smaller context since the VSX registers don't need to be saved over
the glibc function call. But since the program calling getcontext may have
used VSX, the kernel currently says the VSX state is valid when it's not. If
the returned context is then used in setcontext (ie. a small context without
VSX but with MSR VSX set), the kernel will refuse the context. This situation
has been reported by the glibc community.
Based on patch from Carlos O'Donell.

commit 1cf389df090194a0976dc867b7fffe99d9d490cb upstream.
Under heavy (DLPAR?) stress, we tripped this panic() in
arch/powerpc/kernel/iommu.c::iommu_init_table():
page = alloc_pages_node(nid, GFP_ATOMIC, get_order(sz));
if (!page)
panic("iommu_init_table: Can't allocate %ld bytes\n", sz);
Before the panic() we got a page allocation failure for an order-2
allocation. There appears to be memory free, but perhaps not in the
ATOMIC context. I looked through all the call-sites of
iommu_init_table() and didn't see any obvious reason to need an ATOMIC
allocation. Most call-sites in fact have an explicit GFP_KERNEL
allocation shortly before the call to iommu_init_table(), indicating we
are not in an atomic context. There is some indirection for some paths,
but I didn't see any locks indicating that GFP_KERNEL is inappropriate.
With this change under the same conditions, we have not been able to
reproduce the panic.

commit 230aef7a6a23b6166bd4003bfff5af23c9bd381f upstream.
Normally when we haven't implemented an alignment handler for
a load or store instruction the process will be terminated.
The alignment handler uses the DSISR (or a pseudo one) to locate
the right handler. Unfortunately ldbrx and stdbrx overlap lfs and
stfs so we incorrectly think ldbrx is an lfs and stdbrx is an
stfs.
This bug is particularly nasty - instead of terminating the
process we apply an incorrect fixup and continue on.
With more and more overlapping instructions we should stop
creating a pseudo DSISR and index using the instruction directly,
but for now add a special case to catch ldbrx/stdbrx.

commit 0e0ed6406e61434d3f38fb58aa8464ec4722b77e upstream.
Module CRCs are implemented as absolute symbols that get resolved by
a linker script. We build an intermediate .o that contains an
unresolved symbol for each CRC. genksysms parses this .o, calculates
the CRCs and writes a linker script that "resolves" the symbols to
the calculated CRC.
Unfortunately the ppc64 relocatable kernel sees these CRCs as symbols
that need relocating and relocates them at boot. Commit d4703aef
(module: handle ppc64 relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y)
added a hook to reverse the bogus relocations. Part of this patch
created a symbol at 0x0:
# head -2 /proc/kallsyms
0000000000000000 T reloc_start
c000000000000000 T .__start
This reloc_start symbol is causing lots of confusion to perf. It
thinks reloc_start is a massive function that stretches from 0x0 to
0xc000000000000000 and we get various cryptic errors out of perf,
including:
problem incrementing symbol count, skipping event
This patch removes the reloc_start linker script label and instead
defines it as PHYSICAL_START. We also need to wrap it with
CONFIG_PPC64 because the ppc32 kernel can set a non zero
PHYSICAL_START at compile time and we wouldn't want to subtract
it from the CRCs in that case.

commit 230b3034793247f61e6a0b08c44cf415f6d92981 upstream.
When replaying interrupts (as a result of the interrupt occurring
while soft-disabled), in the case of the decrementer, we are exclusively
testing for a pending timer target. However we also use decrementer
interrupts to trigger the new "irq_work", which in this case would
be missed.
This change the logic to force a replay in both cases of a timer
boundary reached and a decrementer interrupt having actually occurred
while disabled. The former test is still useful to catch cases where
a CPU having been hard-disabled for a long time completely misses the
interrupt due to a decrementer rollover.

... and so on
__ppc64_runlatch_on() is called from RUNLATCH_ON in the exception entry
path. At that point the irq state is not consistent, ie. interrupts are
hard disabled (by the exception entry), but the paca soft-enabled flag
may be out of sync.
This leads to the local_irq_restore() in trace_graph_entry() actually
enabling interrupts, which we do not want. Because we have not yet
reprogrammed the decrementer we immediately take another decrementer
exception, and recurse.
The fix is twofold. Firstly make sure we call DISABLE_INTS before
calling RUNLATCH_ON. The badly named DISABLE_INTS actually reconciles
the irq state in the paca with the hardware, making it safe again to
call local_irq_save/restore().
Although that should be sufficient to fix the bug, we also mark the
runlatch routines as notrace. They are called very early in the
exception entry and we are asking for trouble tracing them. They are
also fairly uninteresting and tracing them just adds unnecessary
overhead.

commit 120496ac2d2d60aee68d3123a68169502a85f4b5 upstream.
This patch brings online all threads which are present but not online
prior to migration/hibernation. After migration/hibernation those
threads are taken back offline.
During migration/hibernation all online CPUs must call H_JOIN, this is
required by the hypervisor. Without this patch, threads that are offline
(H_CEDE'd) will not be woken to make the H_JOIN call and the OS will be
deadlocked (all threads either JOIN'd or CEDE'd).

commit 73d2fb758e678c93bc76d40876c2359f0729b0ef upstream.
POWER8 allows read and write of the DSCR in userspace. We added
kernel emulation so applications could always use the instructions
regardless of the CPU type.
Unfortunately there are two SPRs for the DSCR and we only added
emulation for the privileged one. Add code to match the non
privileged one.
A simple test was created to verify the fix:

Without the patch we get a SIGILL and it passes with the patch.

commit 29ce3c5073057991217916abc25628e906911757 upstream.
In __after_prom_start we copy the kernel down to zero in two calls to
copy_and_flush. After the first call (copy from 0 to copy_to_here:)
we jump to the newly copied code soon after.
Unfortunately there's no isync between the copy of this code and the
jump to it. Hence it's possible that stale instructions could still be
in the icache or pipeline before we branch to it.
We've seen this on real machines and it's results in no console output
after:
calling quiesce...
returning from prom_init
The below adds an isync to ensure that the copy and flushing has
completed before any branching to the new instructions occurs.

commit ce73ec6db47af84d1466402781ae0872a9e7873c upstream.
The locking in update_vsyscall_tz() is not only unnecessary because the vdso
code copies the data unproteced in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also
introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall()
and update_vsyscall_tz(), which causes user space process to loop
forever in vdso code.
The following patch removes the locking from update_vsyscall_tz().
Locking is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data
unprotected in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also erroneous because updating
the tb_update_count is not atomic and introduces a hard to reproduce race
condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which further
causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code.
The below scenario describes the race condition,
x==0 Boot CPU other CPU
proc_P: x==0
timer interrupt
update_vsyscall
x==1 x++;sync settimeofday
update_vsyscall_tz
x==2 x++;sync
x==3 sync;x++
sync;x++
proc_P: x==3 (loops until x becomes even)
Because the ++ operator would be implemented as three instructions and not
atomic on powerpc.
A similar change was made for x86 in commit 6c260d58634
("x86: vdso: Remove bogus locking in update_vsyscall_tz")

commit 9fb1b36ca1234e64a5d1cc573175303395e3354d upstream.
We have been observing hangs, both of KVM guest vcpu tasks and more
generally, where a process that is woken doesn't properly wake up and
continue to run, but instead sticks in TASK_WAKING state. This
happens because the update of rq->wake_list in ttwu_queue_remote()
is not ordered with the update of ipi_message in
smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass(), and the reading of rq->wake_list in
scheduler_ipi() is not ordered with the reading of ipi_message in
smp_ipi_demux(). Thus it is possible for the IPI receiver not to see
the updated rq->wake_list and therefore conclude that there is nothing
for it to do.
In order to make sure that anything done before smp_send_reschedule()
is ordered before anything done in the resulting call to scheduler_ipi(),
this adds barriers in smp_muxed_message_pass() and smp_ipi_demux().
The barrier in smp_muxed_message_pass() is a full barrier to ensure that
there is a full ordering between the smp_send_reschedule() caller and
scheduler_ipi(). In smp_ipi_demux(), we use xchg() rather than
xchg_local() because xchg() includes release and acquire barriers.
Using xchg() rather than xchg_local() makes sense given that
ipi_message is not just accessed locally.
This moves the barrier between setting the message and calling the
cause_ipi() function into the individual cause_ipi implementations.
Most of them -- those that used outb, out_8 or similar -- already had
a full barrier because out_8 etc. include a sync before the MMIO
store. This adds an explicit barrier in the two remaining cases.
These changes made no measurable difference to the speed of IPIs as
measured using a simple ping-pong latency test across two CPUs on
different cores of a POWER7 machine.
The analysis of the reason why processes were not waking up properly
is due to Milton Miller.

commit 714332858bfd40dcf8f741498336d93875c23aa7 upstream.
During a context switch we always restore the per thread DSCR value.
If we aren't doing explicit DSCR management
(ie thread.dscr_inherit == 0) and the default DSCR changed while
the process has been sleeping we end up with the wrong value.
Check thread.dscr_inherit and select the default DSCR or per thread
DSCR as required.
This was found with the following test case, when running with
more threads than CPUs (ie forcing context switching):

test cases successfully at the same time:

If the default DSCR is non zero we set thread.dscr_inherit in
copy_thread() meaning the new thread and all its children will ignore
future updates to the default DSCR. This is not intended and is
a change in behaviour that a number of our users have hit.
We just need to inherit thread.dscr and thread.dscr_inherit from
the parent which ends up being much simpler.

When we update the DSCR either via emulation of mtspr(DSCR) or via
a change to dscr_default in sysfs we don't update thread.dscr.
We will eventually update it at context switch time but there is
a period where thread.dscr is incorrect.
If we fork at this point we will copy the old value of thread.dscr
into the child. To avoid this, always keep thread.dscr in sync with
reality.

commit be2cf20a5ad31ebb13562c1c866ecc626fbd721e upstream.
Looks like we still have issues with pSeries and Cell idle code
vs. the lazy irq state. In fact, the reset fixes that went upstream
are exposing the problem more by causing BUG_ON() to trigger (which
this patch turns into a WARN_ON instead).
We need to be careful when using a variant of low power state that
has the side effect of turning interrupts back on, to properly set
all the SW & lazy state to look as if everything is enabled before
we enter the low power state with MSR:EE off as we will return with
MSR:EE on. If not, we have a discrepancy of state which can cause
things to go very wrong later on.
This patch moves the logic into a helper and uses it from the
pseries and cell idle code. The power4/970 idle code already got
things right (in assembly even !) so I'm not touching it. The power7
"bare metal" idle code is subtly different and correct. Remains PA6T
and some hypervisor based Cell platforms which have questionable
code in there, but they are mostly dead platforms so I'll fix them
when I manage to get final answers from the respective maintainers
about how the low power state actually works on them.

commit 2d773aa4810d4a612d1c879faacc38594cc3f841 upstream.
As I was adding code that affects all archs, I started testing function
tracer against PPC64 and found that it currently locks up with 3.4
kernel. I figured it was due to tracing a function that shouldn't be, so
I went through the following process to bisect to find the culprit:
cat /debug/tracing/available_filter_functions > t
num=`wc -l t`
sed -ne "1,${num}p" t > t1
let num=num+1
sed -ne "${num},$p" t > t2
cat t1 > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
echo function /debug/tracing/current_tracer
<failed? bisect t1, if not bisect t2>
It finally came down to this function: restore_interrupts()
I'm not sure why this locks up the system. It just seems to prevent
scheduling from occurring. Interrupts seem to still work, as I can ping
the box. But all user processes freeze.
When restore_interrupts() is not traced, function tracing works fine.

commit 3c75296562f43e6fbc6cddd3de948a7b3e4e9bcf upstream.
This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading
a kernel module.
According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned
the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame.
In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call()
(in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used
to generate trampoline code.
This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler
chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the
module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the
.text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for
functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper.
Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame
using r11 can cause an oops.
The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the
trampoline code. According to the statements from Freescale, this is
safe from an EABI perspective.
I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

commit 860aed25a1f0936d4852ab936252b47cd1e630f1 upstream.
This reverts 68568add2c ("powerpc/time: Remove unnecessary sanity check
of decrementer expiration"). We do need to check whether we have reached
the expiration time of the next event, because we sometimes get an early
decrementer interrupt, most notably when we set the decrementer to 1 in
arch_irq_work_raise(). The effect of not having the sanity check is that
if timer_interrupt() gets called early, we leave the decrementer set to
its maximum value, which means we then don't get any more decrementer
interrupts for about 4 seconds (or longer, depending on timebase
frequency). I saw these pauses as a consequence of getting a stray
hypervisor decrementer interrupt left over from exiting a KVM guest.
This isn't quite a straight revert because of changes to the surrounding
code, but it restores the same algorithm as was previously used.

commit 9cd75e13de2dcf32ecc21c7f277cff3c0ced059e upstream.
commit 771dae818 (powerpc/cpuidle: Add cpu_idle_wait() to allow
switching of idle routines) implemented cpu_idle_wait() for powerpc.
The changelog says:
"The equivalent routine for x86 is in arch/x86/kernel/process.c
but the powerpc implementation is different.":
Unfortunately the changelog is completely useless as it does not tell
_WHY_ it is different.
Aside of being different the implementation is patently wrong.
The rescheduling IPI is async. That means that there is no guarantee,
that the other cores have executed the IPI when cpu_idle_wait()
returns. But that's the whole purpose of this function: to guarantee
that no CPU uses the old idle handler anymore.
Use the smp_functional_call() based implementation, which fulfils the
requirements.

So we have another case of paca->irq_happened getting out of
sync with the HW irq state. This can happen when a perfmon
interrupt occurs while soft disabled, as it will return to a
soft disabled but hard enabled context while leaving a stale
PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS flag set.
This patch fixes it, and also adds a test for the condition
of those flags being out of sync in arch_local_irq_restore()
when CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is enabled.
This helps catching those gremlins faster (and so far I
can't seem see any anymore, so that's good news).

We had a case where we could turn on hard interrupts while
leaving the PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS bit set in the PACA. This can
in turn cause a BUG_ON() to hit in __check_irq_replay() due
to interrupt state getting out of sync.
The assembly code was also way too convoluted. Instead, we
now leave it to the C code to do the right thing which ends
up being smaller and more readable.

The switch from using irq_map to irq_alloc_desc*() for managing irq
number allocations introduced new bugs in some of the powerpc
interrupt code. Several functions rely on the value of NR_IRQS to
determine the maximum irq number that could get allocated. However,
with sparse_irq and using irq_alloc_desc*() the maximum possible irq
number is now specified with 'nr_irqs' which may be a number larger
than NR_IRQS. This has caused breakage on powermac when
CONFIG_NR_IRQS is set to 32.
This patch removes most of the direct references to NR_IRQS in the
powerpc code and replaces them with either a nr_irqs reference or by
using the common for_each_irq_desc() macro. The powerpc-specific
for_each_irq() macro is removed at the same time.
Also, the Cell axon_msi driver is refactored to remove the global
build assumption on the size of NR_IRQS and instead add a limit to the
maximum irq number when calling irq_domain_add_nomap().
