While it looks like the first WARN() is probably valid, the other one is
triggered by disabling event via perf_event_disable() from atomic context.
The event is disabled here in case we were not able to emulate
the instruction that hit the breakpoint. By disabling the event
we unschedule the event and make sure it's not scheduled back.
But we can't call perf_event_disable() from atomic context, instead
we need to use the event's pending_disable irq_work method to disable it.

This patch does a couple of things. First of all, powernv immediately
explodes when running a relocated kernel, because the system reset
exception for handling sleeps does not do correct relocated branches.
Secondly, the sleep handling code trashes the condition and cfar
registers, which we would like to preserve for debugging purposes (for
non-sleep case exception).
This patch changes the exception to use the standard format that saves
registers before any tests or branches are made. It adds the test for
idle-wakeup as an "extra" to break out of the normal exception path.
Then it branches to a relocated idle handler that calls the various
idle handling functions.
After this patch, POWER8 CPU simulator now boots powernv kernel that is
running at non-zero.

Before this patch, we used tlbiel, if we ever ran only on this core.
That was mostly derived from the nohash usage of the same. But is
incorrect, the ISA 3.0 clarifies tlbiel such that:
"All TLB entries that have all of the following properties are made
invalid on the thread executing the tlbiel instruction"
ie. tlbiel only invalidates TLB entries on the current thread. So if the
mm has been used on any other thread (aka. cpu) then we must broadcast
the invalidate.
This bug could lead to invalid TLB entries if a program runs on multiple
threads of a core.
Hence use tlbiel, if we only ever ran on only the current cpu.

It should be ALTIVEC, not ALIVEC.
Cyril explains: If a thread performs a transaction with altivec and then
gets preempted for whatever reason, this bug may cause the kernel to not
re-enable altivec when that thread runs again. This will result in an
altivec unavailable fault, when that fault happens inside a user
transaction the kernel has no choice but to enable altivec and doom the
transaction.
The result is that transactions using altivec may get aborted more often
than they should.
The difficulty in catching this with a selftest is my deliberate use of
the word may above. Optimisations to avoid FPU/altivec/VSX faults mean
that the kernel will always leave them on for 255 switches. This code
prevents the kernel turning it off if it got to the 256th switch (and
userspace was transactional).

This fixes a race condition where one thread that is entering or
leaving a power-saving state can inadvertently ignore the lock bit
that was set by another thread, and potentially also clear it.
The core_idle_lock_held function is called when the lock bit is
seen to be set. It polls the lock bit until it is clear, then
does a lwarx to load the word containing the lock bit and thread
idle bits so it can be updated. However, it is possible that the
value loaded with the lwarx has the lock bit set, even though an
immediately preceding lwz loaded a value with the lock bit clear.
If this happens then we go ahead and update the word despite the
lock bit being set, and when called from pnv_enter_arch207_idle_mode,
we will subsequently clear the lock bit.
No identifiable misbehaviour has been attributed to this race.
This fixes it by checking the lock bit in the value loaded by the
lwarx. If it is set then we just go back and keep on polling.

Commit 8117ac6a6c ("powerpc/powernv: Switch off MMU before entering
nap/sleep/rvwinkle mode", 2014-12-10) fixed a race condition where one
thread entering a KVM guest could switch the MMU context to the guest
while another thread was still in host kernel context with the MMU on.
That commit moved the point where a thread entering a power-saving
mode set its kvm_hstate.hwthread_state field in its PACA to
KVM_HWTHREAD_IN_IDLE from a point where the MMU was on to after the
MMU had been switched off. That commit also added a comment
explaining that we have to switch to real mode before setting
hwthread_state to avoid this race.
Nevertheless, commit 4eae2c9ae5 ("powerpc/powernv: Make
pnv_powersave_common more generic", 2016-07-08) subsequently moved
the setting of hwthread_state back to a point where the MMU is on,
thus reintroducing the race, despite the comment saying that this
should not be done being included in full in the context lines of
the patch that did it.
This fixes the race again and adds a bigger and shoutier comment
explaining the potential race condition.

PowerPC's "cmp" instruction has four operands. Normally people write
"cmpw" or "cmpd" for the second cmp operand 0 or 1. But, frequently
people forget, and write "cmp" with just three operands.
With older binutils this is silently accepted as if this was "cmpw",
while often "cmpd" is wanted. With newer binutils GAS will complain
about this for 64-bit code. For 32-bit code it still silently assumes
"cmpw" is what is meant.
In this instance the code comes directly from ISA v2.07, including the
cmp, but cmpd is correct. Backport to stable so that new toolchains can
build old kernels.

Merge the gup_flags cleanups from Lorenzo Stoakes:
"This patch series adjusts functions in the get_user_pages* family such
that desired FOLL_* flags are passed as an argument rather than
implied by flags.
The purpose of this change is to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit
so it is easier to grep for and clearer to callers that this flag is
being used. The use of FOLL_FORCE is an issue as it overrides missing
VM_READ/VM_WRITE flags for the VMA whose pages we are reading
from/writing to, which can result in surprising behaviour.
The patch series came out of the discussion around commit 38e0885465
("mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing"),
which addressed a BUG_ON() being triggered when a page was faulted in
with PROT_NONE set but having been overridden by FOLL_FORCE.
do_numa_page() was run on the assumption the page _must_ be one marked
for NUMA node migration as an actual PROT_NONE page would have been
dealt with prior to this code path, however FOLL_FORCE introduced a
situation where this assumption did not hold.
See
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147585445805166
for the patch proposal"
Additionally, there's a fix for an ancient bug related to FOLL_FORCE and
FOLL_WRITE by me.
[ This branch was rebased recently to add a few more acked-by's and
reviewed-by's ]
* gup_flag-cleanups:
mm: replace access_process_vm() write parameter with gup_flags
mm: replace access_remote_vm() write parameter with gup_flags
mm: replace __access_remote_vm() write parameter with gup_flags
mm: replace get_user_pages_remote() write/force parameters with gup_flags
mm: replace get_user_pages() write/force parameters with gup_flags
mm: replace get_vaddr_frames() write/force parameters with gup_flags
mm: replace get_user_pages_locked() write/force parameters with gup_flags
mm: replace get_user_pages_unlocked() write/force parameters with gup_flags
mm: remove write/force parameters from __get_user_pages_unlocked()
mm: remove write/force parameters from __get_user_pages_locked()
mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages()
This removes the 'write' argument from access_process_vm() and replaces
it with 'gup_flags' as use of this function previously silently implied
FOLL_FORCE, whereas after this patch callers explicitly pass this flag.
We make this explicit as use of FOLL_FORCE can result in surprising
behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

At boot we dump the NUMA memory topology in dump_numa_memory_topology(),
at KERN_DEBUG level, resulting in output like:
Node 0 Memory: 0x0-0x100000000
Node 1 Memory: 0x100000000-0x200000000
Which is nice enough, but immediately after that we iterate over each
node and call setup_node_data(), which also prints out the node ranges,
at KERN_INFO, giving eg:
numa: Initmem setup node 0 [mem 0x00000000-0xffffffff]
numa: Initmem setup node 1 [mem 0x100000000-0x1ffffffff]
Additionally dump_numa_memory_topology() does not use KERN_CONT
correctly, resulting in split output lines on recent kernels.
So drop dump_numa_memory_topology() as superfluous chatter.

This commit broke boot on systems with an uncompressed kernel image,
namely systems using a cuImage. On such systems the compressed boot
image (boot wrapper, uncompressed kernel image, ..) is decompressed
by u-boot already, therefore the boot wrapper code sees an
uncompressed kernel image.
The old decompression code silently assumed an uncompressed kernel
image if it found no valid gzip signature, whilst the new code
bailed out in this case.
Fix this by re-introducing such a fallback if no valid compressed
image is found.

If a cxl adapter faults on an invalid address for a kernel context, we
may enter copro_calculate_slb() with a NULL mm pointer (kernel
context) and an effective address which looks like a user
address. Which will cause a crash when dereferencing mm. It is clearly
an AFU bug, but there's no reason to crash either. So return an error,
so that cxl can ack the interrupt with an address error.

However the check was incorrectly negated, leading to crashes on

Debugging a data corruption issue with virtio-net/vhost-net led to
the observation that __copy_tofrom_user was occasionally returning
a value 16 larger than it should. Since the return value from
__copy_tofrom_user is the number of bytes not copied, this means
that __copy_tofrom_user can occasionally return a value larger
than the number of bytes it was asked to copy. In turn this can
cause higher-level copy functions such as copy_page_to_iter_iovec
to corrupt memory by copying data into the wrong memory locations.
It turns out that the failing case involves a fault on the store
at label 79, and at that point the first unmodified byte of the
destination is at R3 + 16. Consequently the exception handler
for that store needs to add 16 to R3 before using it to work out
how many bytes were not copied, but in this one case it was not
adding the offset to R3. To fix it, this moves the label 179 to
the point where we add 16 to R3. I have checked manually all the
exception handlers for the loads and stores in this code and the
rest of them are correct (it would be excellent to have an
automated test of all the exception cases).
This bug has been present since this code was initially
committed in May 2002 to Linux version 2.5.20.

power4_fixup_nap is called from the "common" handlers, not the virt/real
handlers, therefore it should itself be a common handler. Placing it
down in the trampoline space caused it to go out of reach of its
callers, requiring a trampoline inserted at the start of the text
section, which breaks the fixed section address calculations.

Most of the time, the bug is surfacing in a caller up in the stack from
__pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate() which is quite confusing.
This bug is pending since v3.11 but was hidden if a caller of the
caller of __pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate() has pushed the corruped
register (r18 in this case) in the stack and is not using it until
restoring it. GCC 6.2.0 seems to raise it more frequently.
This commit also change the definition of the parameter buffer in
pSeries_lpar_flush_hash_range() to rely on the global define
PLPAR_HCALL9_BUFSIZE (no functional change here).

This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to
extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as
possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation
(due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering,
thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).
At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for
how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals.
The need for very-early boot entropy tends to be very architecture or
system design specific, so this plugin is more suited for those sorts
of special cases. The existing kernel RNG already attempts to extract
entropy from reliable runtime variation, but this plugin takes the idea to
a logical extreme by permuting a global variable based on any variation
in code execution (e.g. a different value (and permutation function)
is used to permute the global based on loop count, case statement,
if/then/else branching, etc).
To do this, the plugin starts by inserting a local variable in every
marked function. The plugin then adds logic so that the value of this
variable is modified by randomly chosen operations (add, xor and rol) and
random values (gcc generates separate static values for each location at
compile time and also injects the stack pointer at runtime). The resulting
value depends on the control flow path (e.g., loops and branches taken).
Before the function returns, the plugin mixes this local variable into
the latent_entropy global variable. The value of this global variable
is added to the kernel entropy pool in do_one_initcall() and _do_fork(),
though it does not credit any bytes of entropy to the pool; the contents
of the global are just used to mix the pool.
Additionally, the plugin can pre-initialize arrays with build-time
random contents, so that two different kernel builds running on identical
hardware will not have the same starting values.

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".
We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.
This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

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

Currently significant amount of memory is reserved only in kernel booted
to capture kernel dump using the fa_dump method.
Kernels compiled with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT will initialize
only certain size memory per node. The certain size takes into account
the dentry and inode cache sizes. Currently the cache sizes are
calculated based on the total system memory including the reserved
memory. However such a kernel when booting the same kernel as fadump
kernel will not be able to allocate the required amount of memory to
suffice for the dentry and inode caches. This results in crashes like
Hence only implement arch_reserved_kernel_pages() for CONFIG_FA_DUMP
configurations. The amount reserved will be reduced while calculating
the large caches and will avoid crashes like the below on large systems
such as 32 TB systems.

Tail calls allow JIT'ed eBPF programs to call into other JIT'ed eBPF
programs. This can be achieved either by:
(1) retaining the stack setup by the first eBPF program and having all
subsequent eBPF programs re-using it, or,
(2) by unwinding/tearing down the stack and having each eBPF program
deal with its own stack as it sees fit.
To ensure that this does not create loops, there is a limit to how many
tail calls can be done (currently 32). This requires the JIT'ed code to
maintain a count of the number of tail calls done so far.
Approach (1) is simple, but requires every eBPF program to have (almost)
the same prologue/epilogue, regardless of whether they need it. This is
inefficient for small eBPF programs which may not sometimes need a
prologue at all. As such, to minimize impact of tail call
implementation, we use approach (2) here which needs each eBPF program
in the chain to use its own prologue/epilogue. This is not ideal when
many tail calls are involved and when all the eBPF programs in the chain
have similar prologue/epilogue. However, the impact is restricted to
programs that do tail calls. Individual eBPF programs are not affected.
We maintain the tail call count in a fixed location on the stack and
updated tail call count values are passed in through this. The very
first eBPF program in a chain sets this up to 0 (the first 2
instructions). Subsequent tail calls skip the first two eBPF JIT
instructions to maintain the count. For programs that don't do tail
calls themselves, the first two instructions are NOPs.

Currently the MSR TM bit is always set if the hardware is TM capable.
This adds extra overhead as it means the TM SPRS (TFHAR, TEXASR and
TFAIR) must be swapped for each process regardless of if they use TM.
For processes that don't use TM the TM MSR bit can be turned off
allowing the kernel to avoid the expensive swap of the TM registers.
A TM unavailable exception will occur if a thread does use TM and the
kernel will enable MSR_TM and leave it so for some time afterwards.

If the kernel disables transactional memory (TM) and userspace still
tries TM related actions (TM instructions or TM SPR accesses) TM aware
hardware will cause the kernel to take a facility unavailable
exception.
Add checks for the exception being caused by illegal TM access in

Make the structures being used for checkpointed state named
consistently with the pt_regs/ckpt_regs.
Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur <cyrilbur@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
There is currently an inconsistency as to how the entire CPU register
state is saved and restored when a thread uses transactional memory
(TM).
Using transactional memory results in the CPU having duplicated
(almost) all of its register state. This duplication results in a set
of registers which can be considered 'live', those being currently
modified by the instructions being executed and another set that is
frozen at a point in time.
On context switch, both sets of state have to be saved and (later)
restored. These two states are often called a variety of different
things. Common terms for the state which only exists after the CPU has
entered a transaction (performed a TBEGIN instruction) in hardware are
'transactional' or 'speculative'.
Between a TBEGIN and a TEND or TABORT (or an event that causes the
hardware to abort), regardless of the use of TSUSPEND the
transactional state can be referred to as the live state.
The second state is often to referred to as the 'checkpointed' state
and is a duplication of the live state when the TBEGIN instruction is
executed. This state is kept in the hardware and will be rolled back
to on transaction failure.
Currently all the registers stored in pt_regs are ALWAYS the live
registers, that is, when a thread has transactional registers their
values are stored in pt_regs and the checkpointed state is in
ckpt_regs. A strange opposite is true for fp_state/vr_state. When a
thread is non transactional fp_state/vr_state holds the live
registers. When a thread has initiated a transaction fp_state/vr_state
holds the checkpointed state and transact_fp/transact_vr become the
structure which holds the live state (at this point it is a
transactional state).
This method creates confusion as to where the live state is, in some
circumstances it requires extra work to determine where to put the
live state and prevents the use of common functions designed (probably
before TM) to save the live state.
With this patch pt_regs, fp_state and vr_state all represent the
same thing and the other structures [pending rename] are for
checkpointed state.

Much of the signal code takes a pt_regs on which it operates. Over
time the signal code has needed to know more about the thread than
what pt_regs can supply, this information is obtained as needed by
using 'current'.
This approach is not strictly incorrect however it does mean that
there is now a hard requirement that the pt_regs being passed around
does belong to current, this is never checked. A safer approach is for
the majority of the signal functions to take a task_struct from which
they can obtain pt_regs and any other information they need. The
caveat that the task_struct they are passed must be current doesn't go
away but can more easily be checked for.
Functions called from outside powerpc signal code are passed a pt_regs
and they can confirm that the pt_regs is that of current and pass
current to other functions, furthurmore, powerpc signal functions can
check that the task_struct they are passed is the same as current
avoiding possible corruption of current (or the task they are passed)
if this assertion ever fails.
