Merge tag 'v3.13-rc8' into core/locking
Refresh the tree with the latest fixes, before applying new changes.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
A number of situations currently require the heavyweight smp_mb(),
even though there is no need to order prior stores against later
loads. Many architectures have much cheaper ways to handle these
situations, but the Linux kernel currently has no portable way
to make use of them.
This commit therefore supplies smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() to remedy this situation. The new
smp_load_acquire() primitive orders the specified load against
any subsequent reads or writes, while the new smp_store_release()
primitive orders the specifed store against any prior reads or
writes. These primitives allow array-based circular FIFOs to be
implemented without an smp_mb(), and also allow a theoretical
hole in rcu_assign_pointer() to be closed at no additional
expense on most architectures.
In addition, the RCU experience transitioning from explicit
smp_read_barrier_depends() and smp_wmb() to rcu_dereference()
and rcu_assign_pointer(), respectively resulted in substantial
improvements in readability. It therefore seems likely that
replacing other explicit barriers with smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() will provide similar benefits. It appears
that roughly half of the explicit barriers in core kernel code
might be so replaced.

Pull powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"A bit more endian problems found during testing of 3.13 and a few

* 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc:
powerpc: Fix alignment of secondary cpu spin vars
powerpc: Align p_end
powernv/eeh: Add buffer for P7IOC hub error data
powernv/eeh: Fix possible buffer overrun in ioda_eeh_phb_diag()

powerpc/512x: dts: remove misplaced IRQ spec from 'soc' node (5125)
Commit 5c0484e25e ('powerpc: Endian safe trampoline') resulted in
losing proper alignment of the spinlock variables used when booting
secondary CPUs, causing some quite odd issues with failing to boot on
PA Semi-based systems.
This showed itself on ppc64_defconfig, but not on pasemi_defconfig,
so it had gone unnoticed when I initially tested the LE patch set.
Fix is to add explicit alignment instead of relying on good luck. :)

The powerpc 64-bit __copy_tofrom_user() function uses shifts to handle

opposite direction.
This commit relies on the C preprocessor to insert the correct shifts
into the assembly code.

In EXCEPTION_PROLOG_COMMON() we check to see if the stack pointer (r1)
is valid when coming from the kernel. If it's not valid, we die but
with a nice oops message.
Currently we allocate a stack frame (subtract INT_FRAME_SIZE) before we
check to see if the stack pointer is negative. Unfortunately, this
won't detect a bad stack where r1 is less than INT_FRAME_SIZE.
This patch fixes the check to compare the modified r1 with
-INT_FRAME_SIZE. With this, bad kernel stack pointers (including NULL
pointers) are correctly detected again.

Merge tag 'v3.13-rc4' into core/locking
Merge Linux 3.13-rc4, to refresh this rather old tree with the latest fixes.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
The powerpc lock acquisition sequence is as follows:
lwarx; cmpwi; bne; stwcx.; lwsync;
Lock release is as follows:
lwsync; stw;
If CPU 0 does a store (say, x=1) then a lock release, and CPU 1
does a lock acquisition then a load (say, r1=y), then there is
no guarantee of a full memory barrier between the store to 'x'
and the load from 'y'. To see this, suppose that CPUs 0 and 1
are hardware threads in the same core that share a store buffer,
and that CPU 2 is in some other core, and that CPU 2 does the
following:
y = 1; sync; r2 = x;
If 'x' and 'y' are both initially zero, then the lock
acquisition and release sequences above can result in r1 and r2
both being equal to zero, which could not happen if unlock+lock
was a full barrier.
This commit therefore makes powerpc's
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() be a full barrier.

In pte_alloc_one(), pgtable_page_ctor() is passed an address that has
not been converted by page_address() to the newly allocated PTE page.
When the PTE is freed, __pte_free_tlb() calls pgtable_page_dtor()
with an address to the PTE page that has been converted by page_address().
The mismatch in the PTE's page address causes pgtable_page_dtor() to access
invalid memory, so resources for that PTE (such as the page lock) is not
properly cleaned up.
On PPC32, only SMP kernels are affected.
On PPC64, only SMP kernels with 4K page size are affected.
This bug was introduced by commit d614bb0412
"powerpc: Move the pte free routines from common header".
On a preempt-rt kernel, a spinlock is dynamically allocated for each
PTE in pgtable_page_ctor(). When the PTE is freed, calling
pgtable_page_dtor() with a mismatched page address causes a memory leak,
as the pointer to the PTE's spinlock is bogus.
On mainline, there isn't any immediately obvious symptoms, but the
problem still exists here.

So we need to save it away into a non-volatile register instead
that definitely does get preserved across the C call.
This bug usually didn't hit anyone yet since gcc is smart enough
to generate code that doesn't even need r12 which means it stayed
identical throughout the call by sheer luck. But we can't rely on
that.

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.

CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP config option in kernel, this vmemmap address
translation support becomes necessary for dump filtering. For vmemmap adress
translation, few kernel symbols are needed by dump filtering tool. This patch
adds those symbols to vmcoreinfo, which a dump filtering tool can use for
filtering the kernel dump. Tested this changes successfully with makedumpfile
tool that supports vmemmap to physical address translation outside zone normal.

Stephen reported a failure in an allyesconfig build.
CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y gets set but his toolchain is not
new enough to support little endian. We really want to
default to a big endian build; Ben suggested using a choice
which defaults to CPU_BIG_ENDIAN.

Currently if I cross build TAGS or cscope from x86 I get this:
% make ARCH=powerpc TAGS
gcc-4.8.real: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mbig-endian’
GEN TAGS
%
I'm not setting CROSS_COMPILE= as logically I shouldn't need to and I
haven't needed to in the past when building TAGS or cscope. Also, the
above completess correct as the error is not fatal to the build.
This was caused by:
commit d72b080171
Author: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com>
powerpc: Add ability to build little endian kernels
The below fixes this by testing for the -mbig-endian option before
adding it.
I've not done the same thing in the little endian case as if
-mlittle-endian doesn't exist, we probably want to fail quickly as you
probably have an old big endian compiler.

And in flush_hugetlb_page(), don't check whether vma is NULL after
we've already dereferenced it.
This was found by Dan using static analysis as described here:
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2013-November/113161.html
We currently get away with this because the callers that currently pass
NULL for vma seem to be 32-bit-only (e.g. highmem, and
CONFIG_DEBUG_PGALLOC in pgtable_32.c) Hugetlb is currently 64-bit only,
so we never saw a NULL vma here.

These lines were inoperative for four years, which puts some doubt into
their importance, and it's possible the fixed version will regress, but
at the very least they should be removed instead.

Commit beb2dc0a7a breaks the MPC8xx which
seems to not support using mfspr SPRN_TBRx instead of mftb/mftbu
despite what is written in the reference manual.
This patch reverts to the use of mftb/mftbu when CONFIG_8xx is
selected.
