We currently have a "special" syscall for switching endianness. This is
syscall number 0x1ebe, which is handled explicitly in the 64-bit syscall
exception entry.
That has a few problems, firstly the syscall number is outside of the
usual range, which confuses various tools. For example strace doesn't
recognise the syscall at all.
Secondly it's handled explicitly as a special case in the syscall
exception entry, which is complicated enough without it.
As a first step toward removing the special syscall, we need to add a
regular syscall that implements the same functionality.
The logic is simple, it simply toggles the MSR_LE bit in the userspace
MSR. This is the same as the special syscall, with the caveat that the
special syscall clobbers fewer registers.
This version clobbers r9-r12, XER, CTR, and CR0-1,5-7.

During suspend/migration operation we must wait for the VASI state reported
by the hypervisor to become Suspending prior to making the ibm,suspend-me
RTAS call. Calling routines to rtas_ibm_supend_me() pass a vasi_state variable
that exposes the VASI state to the caller. This is unnecessary as the caller
only really cares about the following three conditions; if there is an error
we should bailout, success indicating we have suspended and woken back up so
proceed to device tree update, or we are not suspendable yet so try calling
rtas_ibm_suspend_me again shortly.
This patch removes the extraneous vasi_state variable and simply uses the
return code to communicate how to proceed. We either succeed, fail, or get
-EAGAIN in which case we sleep for a second before trying to call
rtas_ibm_suspend_me again. The behaviour of ppc_rtas() remains the same,
but migrate_store() now returns the propogated error code on failure.
Previously -1 was returned from migrate_store() in the failure case which
equates to -EPERM and was clearly wrong.

The flush_tlb hook in cpu_spec was introduced as a generic function hook
to invalidate TLBs. But the current implementation of flush_tlb hook
takes IS (invalidation selector) as an argument which is architecture
dependent. Hence, It is not right to have a generic routine where caller
has to pass non-generic argument.
This patch fixes this and makes flush_tlb hook as high level API.

fsl_mpic_get_version() for SMP configurations. While the latter is
called explicitly for handling PIC initialization and setting up error
interrupt vector depending on PIC hardware version, the former isn't
used for anything.
+ As for mpic_set_clk_ratio() and mpic_set_serial_int(), they both are

This removes definitions in opal-api.h that are completely unused in
Linux.
For each of these I see three possibilities, 1) we *should* be using
them in Linux and patches will arrive to do that, 2) they are not used
but should stay in the header to document the API for some important
reason, 3) they are not used and needn't be part of the API.

This commit gets opal-api.h to mostly match the version in Skiboot as of
commit ea7d806ab0ba.
The exceptions are things which are not (currently) used in Linux.
Most of this is just whitespace and a few things moving around. I think
the diff is readable.
Also OpalMessageType became opal_msg_type, requiring a change in the
Linux code.
Finally Skiboot and Linux disagree on CAPI vs CXL, because CAPI means
something else in Linux. To handle that we just point the Linux wrapper,
which is named "cxl" to the OPAL token OPAL_PCI_SET_PHB_CAPI_MODE.

Implement arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() for powerpc
Commit 9b01f5bf3 introduced a dependency on "IRQ work self-IPIs" for
full dynamic ticks to be enabled, by expecting architectures to
implement a suitable arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() routine.
Several arches have implemented this routine, including x86 (3010279f)
and arm (09f6edd4), but powerpc was omitted.
This patch implements this routine for powerpc.
The symptom, at boot (on powerpc systems) with "nohz_full=<CPU list>"
is displayed:
NO_HZ: Can't run full dynticks because arch doesn't support irq work self-IPIs
after this patch:
NO_HZ: Full dynticks CPUs: <CPU list>.
Tested against 3.19.
powerpc implements "IRQ work self-IPIs" by setting the decrementer to 1 in
arch_irq_work_raise(), which causes a decrementer exception on the next
timebase tick. We then handle the work in __timer_interrupt().

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.
Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.
It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

This patch removes the NUMA PTE bits and associated helpers. As a
side-effect it increases the maximum possible swap space on x86-64.
One potential source of problems is races between the marking of PTEs
PROT_NONE, NUMA hinting faults and migration. It must be guaranteed that
a PTE being protected is not faulted in parallel, seen as a pte_none and
corrupting memory. The base case is safe but transhuge has problems in
the past due to an different migration mechanism and a dependance on page
lock to serialise migrations and warrants a closer look.
task_work hinting update parallel fault
------------------------ --------------
change_pmd_range
change_huge_pmd
__pmd_trans_huge_lock
pmdp_get_and_clear
__handle_mm_fault
pmd_none
do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page
read? pmd_lock blocks until hinting complete, fail !pmd_none test
write? __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page acquires pmd_lock, checks pmd_none
pmd_modify
set_pmd_at
task_work hinting update parallel migration
------------------------ ------------------
change_pmd_range
change_huge_pmd
__pmd_trans_huge_lock
pmdp_get_and_clear
__handle_mm_fault
do_huge_pmd_numa_page
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page
pmd_lock waits for updates to complete, recheck pmd_same
pmd_modify
set_pmd_at
Both of those are safe and the case where a transhuge page is inserted
during a protection update is unchanged. The case where two processes try
migrating at the same time is unchanged by this series so should still be
ok. I could not find a case where we are accidentally depending on the
PTE not being cleared and flushed. If one is missed, it'll manifest as
corruption problems that start triggering shortly after this series is
merged and only happen when NUMA balancing is enabled.

The code:

In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0. round_up() has

I think the best way to fix it is to define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as unsigned
long. On every arch for consistency.

This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.
This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.
With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.
Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.
The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.
While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.
The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.

RTAS events require arguments be passed in big endian while hypercalls
have their arguments passed in registers and the values should therefore
be in CPU endian.
The "ibm,suspend_me" 'RTAS' call makes a sequence of hypercalls to setup
one true RTAS call. This means that "ibm,suspend_me" is handled
specially in the ppc_rtas() syscall.
The ppc_rtas() syscall has its arguments in big endian and can therefore
pass these arguments directly to the RTAS call. "ibm,suspend_me" is
handled specially from within ppc_rtas() (by calling rtas_ibm_suspend_me())
which has left an endian bug on little endian systems due to the
requirement of hypercalls. The return value from rtas_ibm_suspend_me()
gets returned in cpu endian, and is left unconverted, also a bug on
little endian systems.
rtas_ibm_suspend_me() does not actually make use of the rtas_args that
it is passed. This patch removes the convoluted use of the rtas_args
struct to pass params to rtas_ibm_suspend_me() in favour of passing what
it needs as actual arguments. This patch also ensures the two callers of
rtas_ibm_suspend_me() pass function parameters in cpu endian and in the
case of ppc_rtas(), converts the return value.
migrate_store() (the other caller of rtas_ibm_suspend_me()) is from a
sysfs file which deals with everything in cpu endian so this function
only underwent cleanup.
This patch has been tested with KVM both LE and BE and on PowerVM both
LE and BE. Under QEMU/KVM the migration happens without touching these
code pathes.
For PowerVM there is no obvious regression on BE and the LE code path
now provides the correct parameters to the hypervisor.

The conditions that one specific PE's frozen count exceeds the maximal

we do in subsequent patch.
Flag EEH_PE_REMOVED is expected to be marked for the PE whose frozen

Currently, all non-dot symbols are being treated as function descriptors
in ABIv1. This is incorrect and is resulting in perf probe not working:
# perf probe do_fork
Added new event:
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
Error: Failed to add events.
# dmesg | tail -1
[192268.073063] Could not insert probe at _text+768432: -22
perf probe bases all kernel probes on _text and writes,
for example, "p:probe/do_fork _text+768432" to
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events. In-kernel, _text is being
considered to be a function descriptor and is resulting in the above
error.
Fix this by changing how we lookup symbol addresses on ppc64. We first
check for the dot variant of a symbol and look at the non-dot variant
only if that fails. In this manner, we avoid having to look at the
function descriptor.
While at it, also separate out how this works on ABIv2 where
we don't have dot symbols, but need to use the local entry point.

In commit a3e5b356b3 "powerpc: Don't use local named register variable
in current_thread_info" Anton changed the way we did current_thread_info()
to accommodate LLVM, and it was not meant to have any effect elsewhere.
Unfortunately it has exposed a gcc bug, where r1 gets copied into
another register and then gcc uses that register to restore the toc
after a function call, even when that register is volatile and has been
clobbered by the function call.
We could revert Anton's patch, but it's not clear the original code is
safe either, we may just have been lucky.
The cleanest solution is to just use the existing CURRENT_THREAD_INFO()
asm macro, and call it using inline asm.
Segher points out we don't need volatile on the asm, if the result of
the shift is unused it's fine for the compiler to elide it.
