Have the system reset idle wakeup handlers branched to in real mode
with the 0xc... kernel address applied. This allows simplifications of
avoiding rfid when switching to virtual mode in the wakeup handler.

msgsnd doorbell exceptions are cleared when the doorbell interrupt is
taken. However if a doorbell exception causes a system reset interrupt
wake from power saving state, the message is not cleared. Processing
the doorbell from the system reset interrupt requires msgclr to avoid
taking the exception again.
Testing this plus the previous wakup direct patch gives:
original wakeup direct msgclr
Different threads, same core: 315k/s 264k/s 345k/s
Different cores: 235k/s 242k/s 242k/s
Net speedup is +10% for same core, and +3% for different core.

When the CPU wakes from low power state, it begins at the system reset
interrupt with the exception that caused the wakeup encoded in SRR1.
Today, powernv idle wakeup ignores the wakeup reason (except a special
case for HMI), and the regular interrupt corresponding to the
exception will fire after the idle wakeup exits.
Change this to replay the interrupt from the idle wakeup before
interrupts are hard-enabled.
Test on POWER8 of context_switch selftests benchmark with polling idle
disabled (e.g., always nap, giving cross-CPU IPIs) gives the following
results:
original wakeup direct
Different threads, same core: 315k/s 264k/s
Different cores: 235k/s 242k/s
There is a slowdown for doorbell IPI (same core) case because system
reset wakeup does not clear the message and the doorbell interrupt
fires again needlessly.

On POWER9, we no longer have the restriction that we had on POWER8
where all threads in a core have to be in the same partition, so
the CPU threads are now independent. However, we still want to be
able to run guests with a virtual SMT topology, if only to allow
migration of guests from POWER8 systems to POWER9.
A guest that has a virtual SMT mode greater than 1 will expect to
be able to use the doorbell facility; it will expect the msgsndp
and msgclrp instructions to work appropriately and to be able to read
sensible values from the TIR (thread identification register) and
DPDES (directed privileged doorbell exception status) special-purpose
registers. However, since each CPU thread is a separate sub-processor
in POWER9, these instructions and registers can only be used within
a single CPU thread.
In order for these instructions to appear to act correctly according
to the guest's virtual SMT mode, we have to trap and emulate them.
We cause them to trap by clearing the HFSCR_MSGP bit in the HFSCR
register. The emulation is triggered by the hypervisor facility
unavailable interrupt that occurs when the guest uses them.
To cause a doorbell interrupt to occur within the guest, we set the
DPDES register to 1. If the guest has interrupts enabled, the CPU
will generate a doorbell interrupt and clear the DPDES register in
hardware. The DPDES hardware register for the guest is saved in the
vcpu->arch.vcore->dpdes field. Since this gets written by the guest
exit code, other VCPUs wishing to cause a doorbell interrupt don't
write that field directly, but instead set a vcpu->arch.doorbell_request
flag. This is consumed and set to 0 by the guest entry code, which
then sets DPDES to 1.
Emulating reads of the DPDES register is somewhat involved, because
it requires reading the doorbell pending interrupt status of all of the
VCPU threads in the virtual core, and if any of those VCPUs are
running, their doorbell status is only up-to-date in the hardware
DPDES registers of the CPUs where they are running. In order to get
a reasonable approximation of the current doorbell status, we send
those CPUs an IPI, causing an exit from the guest which will update
the vcpu->arch.vcore->dpdes field. We then use that value in
constructing the emulated DPDES register value.

This allows userspace to set the desired virtual SMT (simultaneous
multithreading) mode for a VM, that is, the number of VCPUs that
get assigned to each virtual core. Previously, the virtual SMT mode
was fixed to the number of threads per subcore, and if userspace
wanted to have fewer vcpus per vcore, then it would achieve that by
using a sparse CPU numbering. This had the disadvantage that the
vcpu numbers can get quite large, particularly for SMT1 guests on
a POWER8 with 8 threads per core. With this patch, userspace can
set its desired virtual SMT mode and then use contiguous vcpu
numbering.
On POWER8, where the threading mode is "strict", the virtual SMT mode
must be less than or equal to the number of threads per subcore. On
POWER9, which implements a "loose" threading mode, the virtual SMT
mode can be any power of 2 between 1 and 8, even though there is
effectively one thread per subcore, since the threads are independent
and can all be in different partitions.

This adds code to allow us to use a different value for the HFSCR
(Hypervisor Facilities Status and Control Register) when running the
guest from that which applies in the host. The reason for doing this
is to allow us to trap the msgsndp instruction and related operations
in future so that they can be virtualized. We also save the value of
HFSCR when a hypervisor facility unavailable interrupt occurs, because
the high byte of HFSCR indicates which facility the guest attempted to
access.
We save and restore the host value on guest entry/exit because some
bits of it affect host userspace execution.
We only do all this on POWER9, not on POWER8, because we are not
intending to virtualize any of the facilities controlled by HFSCR on
POWER8. In particular, the HFSCR bit that controls execution of
msgsndp and related operations does not exist on POWER8. The HFSCR
doesn't exist at all on POWER7.

This allows userspace (e.g. QEMU) to enable large decrementer mode for
the guest when running on a POWER9 host, by setting the LPCR_LD bit in
the guest LPCR value. With this, the guest exit code saves 64 bits of
the guest DEC value on exit. Other places that use the guest DEC
value check the LPCR_LD bit in the guest LPCR value, and if it is set,
omit the 32-bit sign extension that would otherwise be done.
This doesn't change the DEC emulation used by PR KVM because PR KVM
is not supported on POWER9 yet.
This is partly based on an earlier patch by Oliver O'Halloran.

ftrace_caller() depends on a modified regs->nip to detect if a certain
function has been livepatched. However, with KPROBES_ON_FTRACE, it is
possible for regs->nip to have been modified by the kprobes pre_handler
(jprobes, for instance). In this case, we do not want to invoke the
livepatch_handler so as not to consume the livepatch stack.
To distinguish between the two (kprobes and livepatch), we check if
there is an active kprobe on the current function. If there is, then we
know for sure that it must have modified the NIP as we don't support
livepatching a kprobe'd function. In this case, we simply skip the
livepatch_handler and branch to the new NIP. Otherwise, the
livepatch_handler is invoked.

When trapped on WARN_ON(), report_bug() is expected to return
BUG_TRAP_TYPE_WARN so the caller will increment NIP by 4 and continue.
The __builtin_constant_p() path of the PPC's WARN_ON()
calls (indirectly) __WARN_FLAGS() which has BUGFLAG_WARNING set,
however the other branch does not which makes report_bug() report a

Architecturally we should apply a 0x400 offset for these. Not doing
it will break future HW implementations.
The offset of 0 is supposed to remain for "triggers" though not all
sources support both trigger and store EOI, and in P9 specifically,
some sources will treat 0 as a store EOI. But future chips will not.
So this makes us use the properly architected offset which should work
always.

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 IBM vNIC protocol provides support for the user to initiate
a failover from the client LPAR in case the current backing infrastructure
is deemed inadequate or in an error state.
Support for two H_VIOCTL sub-commands for vNIC devices are required
to implement this function. These commands are H_GET_SESSION_TOKEN
and H_SESSION_ERR_DETECTED.
"[H_GET_SESSION_TOKEN] is used to obtain a session token from a VNIC client
adapter. This token is opaque to the caller and is intended to be used in
tandem with the SESSION_ERROR_DETECTED vioctl subfunction."
"[H_SESSION_ERR_DETECTED] is used to report that the currently active
backing device for a VNIC client adapter is behaving poorly, and that
the hypervisor should attempt to fail over to a different backing device,
if one is available."
To provide tools access to this functionality the vNIC driver creates a
sysfs file that, when written to, will send a request to pHyp to failover
to a different backing device.

When opening the slave end of a PTY, it is not possible for userspace to
safely ensure that /dev/pts/$num is actually a slave (in cases where the
mount namespace in which devpts was mounted is controlled by an
untrusted process). In addition, there are several unresolvable
race conditions if userspace were to attempt to detect attacks through
stat(2) and other similar methods [in addition it is not clear how
userspace could detect attacks involving FUSE].
Resolve this by providing an interface for userpace to safely open the
"peer" end of a PTY file descriptor by using the dentry cached by
devpts. Since it is not possible to have an open master PTY without
having its slave exposed in /dev/pts this interface is safe. This
interface currently does not provide a way to get the master pty (since
it is not clear whether such an interface is safe or even useful).

In commit 8c272261194d ("powerpc/numa: Enable USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID"), we
switched to the generic implementation of cpu_to_node(), which uses a percpu
variable to hold the NUMA node for each CPU.
Unfortunately we neglected to notice that we use cpu_to_node() in the allocation
of our percpu areas, leading to a chicken and egg problem. In practice what
happens is when we are setting up the percpu areas, cpu_to_node() reports that
all CPUs are on node 0, so we allocate all percpu areas on node 0.
This is visible in the dmesg output, as all pcpu allocs being in group 0:
pcpu-alloc: [0] 00 01 02 03 [0] 04 05 06 07
pcpu-alloc: [0] 08 09 10 11 [0] 12 13 14 15
pcpu-alloc: [0] 16 17 18 19 [0] 20 21 22 23
pcpu-alloc: [0] 24 25 26 27 [0] 28 29 30 31
pcpu-alloc: [0] 32 33 34 35 [0] 36 37 38 39
pcpu-alloc: [0] 40 41 42 43 [0] 44 45 46 47
To fix it we need an early_cpu_to_node() which can run prior to percpu being
setup. We already have the numa_cpu_lookup_table we can use, so just plumb it
in. With the patch dmesg output shows two groups, 0 and 1:
pcpu-alloc: [0] 00 01 02 03 [0] 04 05 06 07
pcpu-alloc: [0] 08 09 10 11 [0] 12 13 14 15
pcpu-alloc: [0] 16 17 18 19 [0] 20 21 22 23
pcpu-alloc: [1] 24 25 26 27 [1] 28 29 30 31
pcpu-alloc: [1] 32 33 34 35 [1] 36 37 38 39
pcpu-alloc: [1] 40 41 42 43 [1] 44 45 46 47
We can also check the data_offset in the paca of various CPUs, with the fix we
see:
CPU 0: data_offset = 0x0ffe8b0000
CPU 24: data_offset = 0x1ffe5b0000
And we can see from dmesg that CPU 24 has an allocation on node 1:
node 0: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000fffffffff]
node 1: [mem 0x0000001000000000-0x0000001fffffffff]

The i-side 0111b machine check, which is "Instruction Fetch to foreign
address space", was missed by 7b9f71f974 ("powerpc/64s: POWER9 machine

The POWER9 processor core considers host real addresses with a
nonzero value in RA(8:12) as foreign address space, accessible only
by the copy and paste instructions. The copy and paste instruction
pair can be used to invoke the Nest accelerators via the Virtual
Accelerator Switchboard (VAS).
It is an error for any regular load/store or ifetch to go to a foreign

relocation is off, a machine check exception. It is possible to trigger
this machine check by branching to a foreign address with MSR[IR]=0.

Introduce a helper pgtable_gfp_flags() which
just returns the current gfp flags and adds
__GFP_ACCOUNT to account for page table allocation.
The generic helper is added to include/asm/pgalloc.h
and has two variants - WARNING ugly bits ahead
1. If the header is included from a module, no check
for mm == &init_mm is done, since init_mm is not
exported
2. For kernel includes, the check is done and required
see (3e79ec7 arch: x86: charge page tables to kmemcg)
The fundamental assumption is that no module should be
doing pgd/pud/pmd and pte alloc's on behalf of init_mm
directly.
NOTE: This adds an overhead to pmd/pud/pgd allocations
similar to x86. The other alternative was to implement
pmd_alloc_kernel/pud_alloc_kernel and pgd_alloc_kernel
with their offset variants.
For 4k page size, pte_alloc_one no longer calls
pte_alloc_one_kernel.

By default, 5% of system RAM is reserved for preserving boot memory.
Alternatively, a user can specify the amount of memory to reserve.
See Documentation/powerpc/firmware-assisted-dump.txt for details. In
addition to the memory reserved for preserving boot memory, some more
memory is reserved, to save HPTE region, CPU state data and ELF core
headers.
Memory Reservation during first kernel looks like below:
Low memory Top of memory
0 boot memory size |
| | |<--Reserved dump area -->|
V V | Permanent Reservation V
+-----------+----------/ /----------+---+----+-----------+----+
| | |CPU|HPTE| DUMP |ELF |
+-----------+----------/ /----------+---+----+-----------+----+
| ^
| |
\ /
-------------------------------------------
Boot memory content gets transferred to
reserved area by firmware at the time of
crash
This implicitly means that the sum of the sizes of boot memory, CPU
state data, HPTE region, DUMP preserving area and ELF core headers
can't be greater than the total memory size. But currently, a user is
allowed to specify any value as boot memory size. So, the above rule
is violated when a boot memory size around 50% of the total available
memory is specified. As the kernel is not handling this currently, it
may lead to undefined behavior. Fix it by setting an upper limit for
boot memory size to 25% of the total available memory. Also, instead
of using memblock_end_of_DRAM(), which doesn't take the holes, if any,
in the memory layout into account, use memblock_phys_mem_size() to
calculate the percentage of total available memory.

With the fls() functions as defined in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bitops.h
GCC will not optimise the code in case of constant parameter.
This patch replaces __fls() by the builtin function, and modifies
fls() and fls64() to use builtins instead of inline assembly
For non constant calls, the generated code is doing the same:
int testfls(unsigned int x)
{
return fls(x);
}
unsigned long test__fls(unsigned long x)
{
return __fls(x);
}
int testfls64(__u64 x)

With the ffs() function as defined in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bitops.h
GCC will not optimise the code in case of constant parameter, as shown
by the small exemple below.
int ffs_test(void)
{
return 4 << ffs(31);
}
c0012334 <ffs_test>:
c0012334: 39 20 00 01 li r9,1

c0012348: 4e 80 00 20 blr
With this patch, the same function will compile as follows:
c0012334 <ffs_test>:
c0012334: 38 60 00 08 li r3,8
c0012338: 4e 80 00 20 blr
The same happens with __ffs()
For non constant calls, the generated code is doing the same,
allthought it is slightly different on 64 bits for ffs():
unsigned long test__ffs(unsigned long x)
{
return __ffs(x);
}
int testffs(int x)
{
return ffs(x);
}

(ffs() operates on an int so cntlzw is equivalent to cntlzd)
In addition, when reading the generated vmlinux, we can observe
that with the builtin functions, GCC sometimes efficiently spreads
the instructions within the generated functions while the inline
assembly force them to remain grouped together.

We are running low on CPU feature bits, so we only want to use them when
it's really necessary.
CPU_FTR_SUBCORE is only used in one place, and only in C, so we don't
need it in order to make asm patching work. It can only be set on
"Power8" CPUs, which in practice means POWER8, POWER8E and POWER8NVL.
There are no plans to implement it on future CPUs, but if there ever
were we could retrofit it then.
Although KVM uses subcores, it never looks at the CPU feature, it either
looks at the ISA level or the threads_per_subcore value.
So drop the CPU feature and do a PVR check instead. Drop the device tree
"subcore" feature as we no longer support doing anything with it, and we
will drop it from skiboot too.

being neater.

Very large kernels may require linker stubs for branches from HEAD
text code. The linker may place these stubs before the HEAD text
sections, which breaks the assumption that HEAD text is located at 0
(or the .text section being located at 0x7000/0x8000 on Book3S
kernels).
Provide an option to create a small section just before the .text
section with an empty 256 - 4 bytes, and adjust the start of the .text
section to match. The linker will tend to put stubs in that section
and not break our relative-to-absolute offset assumptions.
This causes a small waste of space on common kernels, but allows large
kernels to build and boot. For now, it is an EXPERT config option,
defaulting to =n, but a reference is provided for it in the build-time
check for such breakage. This is good enough for allyesconfig and
custom users / hackers.

On Power9 DD1 due to a hardware bug the Power-Saving Level Status
field (PLS) of the PSSCR for a thread waking up from a deep state can
under-report if some other thread in the core is in a shallow stop
state. The scenario in which this can manifest is as follows:
1) All the threads of the core are in deep stop.
2) One of the threads is woken up. The PLS for this thread will
correctly reflect that it is waking up from deep stop.
3) The thread that has woken up now executes a shallow stop.
4) When some other thread in the core is woken, its PLS will reflect
the shallow stop state.
Thus, the subsequent thread for which the PLS is under-reporting the
wakeup state will not restore the hypervisor resources.
Hence, on DD1 systems, use the Requested Level (RL) field as a
workaround to restore the contents of the hypervisor resources on the
wakeup from the stop state.

virt_addr_valid() is supposed to tell you if it's OK to call virt_to_page() on
an address. What this means in practice is that it should only return true for
addresses in the linear mapping which are backed by a valid PFN.
We are failing to properly check that the address is in the linear mapping,
because virt_to_pfn() will return a valid looking PFN for more or less any
address. That bug is actually caused by __pa(), used in virt_to_pfn().
eg: __pa(0xc000000000010000) = 0x10000 # Good
__pa(0xd000000000010000) = 0x10000 # Bad!
__pa(0x0000000000010000) = 0x10000 # Bad!
This started happening after commit bdbc29c19b26 ("powerpc: Work around gcc
miscompilation of __pa() on 64-bit") (Aug 2013), where we changed the definition
of __pa() to work around a GCC bug. Prior to that we subtracted PAGE_OFFSET from
the value passed to __pa(), meaning __pa() of a 0xd or 0x0 address would give
you something bogus back.
Until we can verify if that GCC bug is no longer an issue, or come up with
another solution, this commit does the minimal fix to make virt_addr_valid()
work, by explicitly checking that the address is in the linear mapping region.

On powerpc we can build the kernel with two different ABIs for mcount(), which
is used by ftrace. Kernels built with one ABI do not know how to load modules
built with the other ABI. The new style ABI is called "mprofile-kernel", for
want of a better name.
Currently if we build a module using the old style ABI, and the kernel with
mprofile-kernel, when we load the module we'll oops something like:
# insmod autofs4-no-mprofile-kernel.ko

not. His work fixes this inconsistency.
All (and only) headers under uapi directories are now exported. The
asm-generic wrappers are still exceptions, but this is a big step
forward"
* tag 'kbuild-uapi-v4.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild:
arch/include: remove empty Kbuild files
uapi: export all arch specifics directories
uapi: export all headers under uapi directories
smc_diag.h: fix include from userland
btrfs_tree.h: fix include from userland
uapi: includes linux/types.h before exporting files
Makefile.headersinst: remove destination-y option
Makefile.headersinst: cleanup input files
x86: stop exporting msr-index.h to userland
nios2: put setup.h in uapi
h8300: put bitsperlong.h in uapi

Regularly, when a new header is created in include/uapi/, the developer
forgets to add it in the corresponding Kbuild file. This error is usually
detected after the release is out.
In fact, all headers under uapi directories should be exported, thus it's
useless to have an exhaustive list.
After this patch, the following files, which were not exported, are now
exported (with make headers_install_all):
asm-arc/kvm_para.h
asm-arc/ucontext.h
asm-blackfin/shmparam.h
asm-blackfin/ucontext.h

Note that I have removed from this list the files which are generated in every
exported directories (like .install or .install.cmd).
Thanks to Julien Floret <julien.floret@6wind.com> for the tip to get all
subdirs with a pure makefile command.
For the record, note that exported files for asm directories are a mix of
files listed by:
- include/uapi/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm;
- arch/<arch>/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild;
- arch/<arch>/include/asm/Kbuild.

The ibm,powerpc-cpu-features device tree binding describes CPU features with
ASCII names and extensible compatibility, privilege, and enablement metadata
that allows improved flexibility and compatibility with new hardware.
The interface is described in detail in ibm,powerpc-cpu-features.txt in this
patch.
Currently this code is not enabled by default, and there are no released
firmwares that provide the binding.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc into HEAD
The main thing here is a new implementation of the in-kernel
XICS interrupt controller emulation for POWER9 machines, from Ben
Herrenschmidt.
POWER9 has a new interrupt controller called XIVE (eXternal Interrupt
Virtualization Engine) which is able to deliver interrupts directly
to guest virtual CPUs in hardware without hypervisor intervention.
With this new code, the guest still sees the old XICS interface but
performance is better because the XICS emulation in the host uses the
XIVE directly rather than going through a XICS emulation in firmware.
Conflicts:
arch/powerpc/kernel/cpu_setup_power.S [cherry-picked fix]
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_xive.c [include asm/debugfs.h]
