mtmsrd with L=1 only affects MSR_EE and MSR_RI bits, and we always know what state those bits are, so the kernel MSR does not need to be loaded when modifying them. mtmsrd is often in the critical execution path, so avoiding dependency on even L1 load is noticable. On a POWER8 this saves about 3 cycles from the syscall path, and possibly a few from other exception returns (not measured).

The mflr r10 instruction was left over from when the code used LR to branch to system_call_entry from the exception handler. That was changed by commit 6a404806 ("powerpc: Avoid link stack corruption in MMU on syscall entry path") to use the count register. The value is never used now, so mflr can be removed, and r10 can be used for storage rather than spilling to the SPR scratch register. The scratch register spill causes a long pipeline stall due to the SPR read after write. This change brings getppid syscall cost from 406 to 376 cycles on POWER8. getppid for non-relocatable case is 371 cycles.

For hugetlb to work with 4K page size, we need MAX_ORDER to be 13 or more. When switching from a 64K page size to 4K linux page size using make oldconfig, we end up with a CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER value of 9. This results in a 16M hugepage beiing considered as a gigantic huge page which in turn results in failure to setup hugepages if gigantic hugepage support is not enabled. This also results in kernel crash with 4K radix configuration. We hit the below BUG_ON on radix: kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:364!

Add some documentation for the 64-bit syscall ABI, which doesn't seem to be documented elsewhere. This attempts to document existing practice. The only small discrepancy is glibc clobbers not quite matching the kernel (e.g., xer, some vsyscalls trash cr1 whereas glibc only clobbers cr0). These will be resolved after this document is merged.

In our linker script we open code the list of text sections, because we need to include the __ftr_alt sections, which are arch-specific. This means we can't use TEXT_TEXT as defined in vmlinux.lds.h, and so we don't have the MEM_KEEP() logic for memory hotplug sections. If we build the kernel with the gold linker, and with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y, we see that functions marked __meminit can end up outside of the _stext/_etext range, and also outside of _sinittext/_einittext, eg: c000000000000000 T _stext c0000000009e0000 A _etext c0000000009e3f18 T hash__vmemmap_create_mapping c000000000ca0000 T _sinittext c000000000d00844 T _einittext This causes them to not be recognised as text by is_kernel_text(), and prevents them being patched by jump_label (and presumably ftrace/kprobes etc.). Fix it by adding MEM_KEEP() directives, mirroring what TEXT_TEXT does. This isn't a problem when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n, because we use the standard INIT_TEXT_SECTION() and EXIT_TEXT macros from vmlinux.lds.h.

Currently the _GLOBAL() macro unilaterally sets the assembler section to ".text" at the start of the macro. This is rude as the caller may be using a different section. So let the caller decide which section to emit the code into. On big endian we do need to switch to the ".opd" section to emit the OPD, but do that with pushsection/popsection, thereby leaving the original section intact. I verified that the order of all entries in System.map is unchanged after this patch. The actual addresses shift around slightly so you can't just diff the System.map.

Rather than forcing the whole function into the ".kprobes.text" section, just add the symbol's address to the kprobe blacklist. This also lets us drop the three versions of the_KPROBE macro, in exchange for just one version of _ASM_NOKPROBE_SYMBOL - which is a good cleanup.

Currently we mark the C implementations of some exception handlers as __kprobes. This has the effect of putting them in the ".kprobes.text" section, which separates them from the rest of the text. Instead we can use the blacklist macros to add the symbols to a blacklist which kprobes will check. This allows the linker to move exception handler functions close to callers and avoids trampolines in larger kernels.

Normally, when MSR[VSX/VR/SPE] bits == 1, the used_vsr/used_vr/used_spe bit have already been set. However when loading a signal frame from user space we need to explicitly set used_vsr/used_vr/used_spe to make them consistent with the MSR bits from the signal frame. For example, CRIU application, who utilizes sigreturn to restore checkpointed process, will lead to the case where MSR[VSX] bit is active in signal frame, but used_vsr bit is not set in the kernel. (the same applies to VR/SPE). This patch fixes this by always setting used_* bit when MSR related bits are active in signal frame and we are doing sigreturn. Based on a proposal by Benh.

Commit 2578bfae ("[POWERPC] Create and use CONFIG_WORD_SIZE") added CONFIG_WORD_SIZE, and suggests that other arches were going to do likewise. But that never happened, powerpc is the only architecture which uses it. So switch to using a simple make variable, BITS, like x86, sh, sparc and tile.

Currently, if userspace or the kernel accesses a completely bogus address, for example with any of bits 46-59 set, we first take an SLB miss interrupt, install a corresponding SLB entry with VSID 0, retry the instruction, then take a DSI/ISI interrupt because there is no HPT entry mapping the address. However, by the time of the second interrupt, the Come-From Address Register (CFAR) has been overwritten by the rfid instruction at the end of the SLB miss interrupt handler. Since bogus accesses can often be caused by a function return after the stack has been overwritten, the CFAR value would be very useful as it could indicate which function it was whose return had led to the bogus address. This patch adds code to create a full exception frame in the SLB miss handler in the case of a bogus address, rather than inserting an SLB entry with a zero VSID field. Then we call a new slb_miss_bad_addr() function in C code, which delivers a signal for a user access or creates an oops for a kernel access. In the latter case the oops message will show the CFAR value at the time of the access. In the case of the radix MMU, a segment miss interrupt indicates an access outside the ranges mapped by the page tables. Previously this was handled by the code for an unrecoverable SLB miss (one with MSR[RI] = 0), which is not really correct. With this patch, we now handle these interrupts with slb_miss_bad_addr(), which is much more consistent.

Firmware Assisted Dump is a facility to dump kernel core with assistance from firmware. As part of this process the kernel ELF ABI version is stored in the core file. Currently fadump.h defines this to 0 if it is not already defined. This clashes with a define in elf.h which sets it based on the current task - not based on the kernel's ELF ABI version. Use the compiler-provided #define _CALL_ELF which tells us the ELF ABI version of the kernel to set e_flags, this matches what binutils does. Remove the definition in fadump.h, which becomes unused.
