Commit ab1a517d ("powerpc/syscall: Rename syscall_64.c into interrupt.c") missed to update these three lines: GCOV_PROFILE_syscall_64.o := n KCOV_INSTRUMENT_syscall_64.o := n UBSAN_SANITIZE_syscall_64.o := n To restore the original behavior, we could replace them with: GCOV_PROFILE_interrupt.o := n KCOV_INSTRUMENT_interrupt.o := n UBSAN_SANITIZE_interrupt.o := n However, nobody has noticed the functional change in the past three years, so they were unneeded.

There is code that builds with calls to IO accessors even when CONFIG_PCI=n, but the actual calls are guarded by runtime checks. If not those calls would be faulting, because the page at virtual address zero is (usually) not mapped into the kernel. As Arnd pointed out, it is possible a large port value could cause the address to be above mmap_min_addr which would then access userspace, which would be a bug. To avoid any such issues, set _IO_BASE to POISON_POINTER_DELTA. That is a value chosen to point into unmapped space between the kernel and userspace, so any access will always fault. Note that on 32-bit POISON_POINTER_DELTA is 0, so the patch only has an effect on 64-bit. Signed-off-by:

With -Wextra clang warns about pointer arithmetic using a null pointer. When building with CONFIG_PCI=n, that triggers a warning in the IO accessors, eg: In file included from linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h:672: linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io-defs.h:23:1: warning: performing pointer arithmetic on a null pointer has undefined behavior [-Wnull-pointer-arithmetic] 23 | DEF_PCI_AC_RET(inb, u8, (unsigned long port), (port), pio, port) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ... linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h:591:53: note: expanded from macro '__do_inb' 591 | #define __do_inb(port) readb((PCI_IO_ADDR)_IO_BASE + port); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ That is because when CONFIG_PCI=n, _IO_BASE is defined as 0. Although _IO_BASE is defined as plain 0, the cast (PCI_IO_ADDR) converts it to void * before the addition with port happens. Instead the addition can be done first, and then the cast. The resulting value will be the same, but avoids the warning, and also avoids void pointer arithmetic which is apparently non-standard.

Currently, bpf jit code on powerpc assumes all the bpf functions and helpers to be part of core kernel text. This is false for kfunc case, as function addresses may not be part of core kernel text area. So, add support for addresses that are not within core kernel text area too, to enable kfunc support. Emit instructions based on whether the function address is within core kernel text address or not, to retain optimized instruction sequence where possible. In case of PCREL, as a bpf function that is not within core kernel text area is likely to go out of range with relative addressing on kernel base, use PC relative addressing. If that goes out of range, load the full address with PPC_LI64(). With addresses that are not within core kernel text area supported, override bpf_jit_supports_kfunc_call() to enable kfunc support. Also, override bpf_jit_supports_far_kfunc_call() to enable 64-bit pointers, as an address offset can be more than 32-bit long on PPC64. Signed-off-by:

With PCREL addressing, there is no kernel TOC. So, it is not setup in prologue when PCREL addressing is used. But the number of instructions to skip on a tail call was not adjusted accordingly. That resulted in not so obvious failures while using tailcalls. 'tailcalls' selftest crashed the system with the below call trace: bpf_test_run+0xe8/0x3cc (unreliable) bpf_prog_test_run_skb+0x348/0x778 __sys_bpf+0xb04/0x2b00 sys_bpf+0x28/0x38 system_call_exception+0x168/0x340 system_call_vectored_common+0x15c/0x2ec Also, as bpf programs are always module addresses and a bpf helper in general is a core kernel text address, using PC relative addressing often fails with "out of range of pcrel address" error. Switch to using kernel base for relative addressing to handle this better.

Now that we track a DEXCR on a per-task basis, individual tasks are free to configure it as they like. The interface is a pair of getter/setter prctl's that work on a single aspect at a time (multiple aspects at once is more difficult if there are different rules applied for each aspect, now or in future). The getter shows the current state of the process config, and the setter allows setting/clearing the aspect. Signed-off-by:

Inheriting the DEXCR across exec can have security and usability concerns. If a program is compiled with hash instructions it generally expects to run with NPHIE enabled. But if the parent process disables NPHIE then if it's not careful it will be disabled for any children too and the protection offered by hash checks is basically worthless. This patch introduces a per-process reset value that new execs in a particular process tree are initialized with. This enables fine grained control over what DEXCR value child processes run with by default. For example, containers running legacy binaries that expect hash instructions to act as NOPs could configure the reset value of the container root to control the default reset value for all members of the container.

Add capability to make the DEXCR act as a per-process SPR. We do not yet have an interface for changing the values per task. We also expect the kernel to use a single DEXCR value across all tasks while in privileged state, so there is no need to synchronize after changing it (the userspace aspects will synchronize upon returning to userspace).

The hashchk tests want to verify that the hash key is changed over exec. It does so by calculating hashes at the same address across an exec. This is made simpler by disabling PIE functionality, so we can re-execute ourselves and be using the same addresses in the child. While -fno-pie is already added, -no-pie is also required.

The sources for the powerpc selftests are arranged into sub-directories. However when the tests are built and installed, the sub-directories are squashed, losing the structure. For example, with the current code the result of installing the selftests is: $ tree tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install ├── kselftest │ ├── ktap_helpers.sh │ ├── module.sh │ ├── prefix.pl │ └── runner.sh ├── kselftest-list.txt ├── powerpc │ ├── alignment_handler │ ├── attr_test │ ├── back_to_back_ebbs_test │ ├── bad_accesses │ ├── bhrb_filter_map_test │ ├── bhrb_no_crash_wo_pmu_test │ ├── blacklisted_events_test │ ├── cache_shape │ ├── close_clears_pmcc_test │ ├── context_switch │ ├── copy_first_unaligned ... │ ├── settings ... │ └── wild_bctr └── run_kselftest.sh All the powerpc tests are squashed into the single powerpc directory. In particular, note that there is a single `settings` file, even though there are multiple settings files in the powerpc selftest sources. One of the settings files ends up installed, depending on install order, even if they have different contents. Similarly if there were two tests with the same name in different sub-directories they would clobber each other. Fix it by replicating the directory structure of the source tree into the install directory. The result being for example: $ tree tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install ├── kselftest │ ├── ktap_helpers.sh │ ├── module.sh │ ├── prefix.pl │ └── runner.sh ├── kselftest-list.txt ├── powerpc │ ├── alignment │ │ ├── alignment_handler │ │ └── copy_first_unaligned │ ├── benchmarks │ │ ├── context_switch │ │ ├── exec_target │ │ ├── fork │ │ ├── futex_bench │ │ ├── gettimeofday │ │ ├── mmap_bench │ │ ├── null_syscall │ │ └── settings ... │ ├── eeh │ │ ├── eeh-basic.sh │ │ ├── eeh-functions.sh │ │ └── settings ... │ └── vphn │ └── test-vphn └── run_kselftest.sh Note multiple settings files in different sub-directories. This change also has the effect of changing the names of the tests from the point of view of the kselftest runner. Before the tests are named eg: powerpc:copy_first_unaligned powerpc:cache_shape powerpc:reg_access_test After, the test collection names include the sub-directory: powerpc/alignment:copy_first_unaligned powerpc/cache_shape:cache_shape powerpc/pmu/ebb:reg_access_test That means whereas previously all powerpc tests could be run with: $ ./run_kselftest.sh -c powerpc After the change it's necessary to pass a regex that matches all powerpc entries, eg: $ ./run_kselftest.sh -c "powerpc.*" The latter form also works before and after the change.

plpar_hcall(), plpar_hcall9(), and related functions expect callers to provide valid result buffers of certain minimum size. Currently this is communicated only through comments in the code and the compiler has no idea. For example, if I write a bug like this: long retbuf[PLPAR_HCALL_BUFSIZE]; // should be PLPAR_HCALL9_BUFSIZE plpar_hcall9(H_ALLOCATE_VAS_WINDOW, retbuf, ...); This compiles with no diagnostics emitted, but likely results in stack corruption at runtime when plpar_hcall9() stores results past the end of the array. (To be clear this is a contrived example and I have not found a real instance yet.) To make this class of error less likely, we can use explicitly-sized array parameters instead of pointers in the declarations for the hcall APIs. When compiled with -Warray-bounds[1], the code above now provokes a diagnostic like this: error: array argument is too small; is of size 32, callee requires at least 72 [-Werror,-Warray-bounds] 60 | plpar_hcall9(H_ALLOCATE_VAS_WINDOW, retbuf, | ^ ~~~~~~ [1] Enabled for LLVM builds but not GCC for now.

Because pmac_probe() is called before mem_topology_setup(), the min/ max PFN variables are still zero. That causes kmemleak_alloc_phys() to ignore the allocation, because the checks against the PFN fail. Then kmemleak_no_scan() can't find the allocation and prints warning.

When a device is hot removed on powernv, the hotplug driver clears the device's state. However, on pseries, if a device is removed by phyp after reaching the error threshold, the kernel remains unaware, leading to the device not being torn down. This prevents necessary remediation actions like failover. Permanently disable the device if the presence check fails. Also, in eeh_dev_check_failure in we may consider the error as false positive if the device is hotpluged out as the get_state call returns EEH_STATE_NOT_SUPPORT and we may end up not clearing the device state, so log the event if the state is not moved to permanent failure state.

The patch titled ("powerpc: make fadump resilient with memory add/remove events") has made significant changes to the implementation of fadump, particularly on elfcorehdr creation and fadump crash info header structure. Therefore, updating the fadump implementation documentation to reflect those changes. Following updates are done to firmware assisted dump documentation: 1. The elfcorehdr is no longer stored after fadump HDR in the reserved dump area. Instead, the second kernel dynamically allocates memory for the elfcorehdr within the address range from 0 to the boot memory size. Therefore, update figures 1 and 2 of Memory Reservation during the first and second kernels to reflect this change. 2. A version field has been added to the fadump header to manage the future changes to fadump crash info header structure without changing the fadump header magic number in the future. Therefore, remove the corresponding TODO from the document. Signed-off-by:Sourabh Jain <sourabhjain@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

The elfcorehdr describes the CPUs and memory of the crashed kernel to the kernel that captures the dump, known as the second or fadump kernel. The elfcorehdr needs to be updated if the system's memory changes due to memory hotplug or online/offline events. Currently, memory hotplug events are monitored in userspace by udev rules, and fadump is re-registered, which recreates the elfcorehdr with the latest available memory in the system. However, the previous patch ("powerpc: make fadump resilient with memory add/remove events") moved the creation of elfcorehdr to the second or fadump kernel. This eliminates the need to regenerate the elfcorehdr during memory hotplug or online/offline events. Create a sysfs entry at /sys/kernel/fadump/hotplug_ready to let userspace know that fadump re-registration is not required for memory add/remove events. Signed-off-by: -
Sourabh Jain authored
Due to changes in memory resources caused by either memory hotplug or online/offline events, the elfcorehdr, which describes the CPUs and memory of the crashed kernel to the kernel that collects the dump (known as second/fadump kernel), becomes outdated. Consequently, attempting dump collection with an outdated elfcorehdr can lead to failed or inaccurate dump collection. Memory hotplug or online/offline events is referred as memory add/remove events in reset of the commit message. The current solution to address the aforementioned issue is as follows: Monitor memory add/remove events in userspace using udev rules, and re-register fadump whenever there are changes in memory resources. This leads to the creation of a new elfcorehdr with updated system memory information. There are several notable issues associated with re-registering fadump for every memory add/remove events. 1. Bulk memory add/remove events with udev-based fadump re-registration can lead to race conditions and, more importantly, it creates a wide window during which fadump is inactive until all memory add/remove events are settled. 2. Re-registering fadump for every memory add/remove event is inefficient. 3. The memory for elfcorehdr is allocated based on the memblock regions available during early boot and remains fixed thereafter. However, if elfcorehdr is later recreated with additional memblock regions, its size will increase, potentially leading to memory corruption. Address the aforementioned challenges by shifting the creation of elfcorehdr from the first kernel (also referred as the crashed kernel), where it was created and frequently recreated for every memory add/remove event, to the fadump kernel. As a result, the elfcorehdr only needs to be created once, thus eliminating the necessity to re-register fadump during memory add/remove events. At present, the first kernel prepares fadump header and stores it in the fadump reserved area. The fadump header includes the start address of the elfcorehdr, crashing CPU details, and other relevant information. In the event of a crash in the first kernel, the second/fadump boots and accesses the fadump header prepared by the first kernel. It then performs the following steps in a platform-specific function [rtas|opal]_fadump_process: 1. Sanity check for fadump header 2. Update CPU notes in elfcorehdr Along with the above, update the setup_fadump()/fadump.c to create elfcorehdr and set its address to the global variable elfcorehdr_addr for the vmcore module to process it in the second/fadump kernel. Section below outlines the information required to create the elfcorehdr and the changes made to make it available to the fadump kernel if it's not already. To create elfcorehdr, the following crashed kernel information is required: CPU notes, vmcoreinfo, and memory ranges. At present, the CPU notes are already prepared in the fadump kernel, so no changes are needed in that regard. The fadump kernel has access to all crashed kernel memory regions, including boot memory regions that are relocated by firmware to fadump reserved areas, so no changes for that either. However, it is necessary to add new members to the fadump header, i.e., the 'fadump_crash_info_header' structure, in order to pass the crashed kernel's vmcoreinfo address and its size to fadump kernel. In addition to the vmcoreinfo address and size, there are a few other attributes also added to the fadump_crash_info_header structure. 1. version: It stores the fadump header version, which is currently set to 1. This provides flexibility to update the fadump crash info header in the future without changing the magic number. For each change in the fadump header, the version will be increased. This will help the updated kernel determine how to handle kernel dumps from older kernels. The magic number remains relevant for checking fadump header corruption. 2. pt_regs_sz/cpu_mask_sz: Store size of pt_regs and cpu_mask structure of first kernel. These attributes are used to prevent dump processing if the sizes of pt_regs or cpu_mask structure differ between the first and fadump kernels. Note: if either first/crashed kernel or second/fadump kernel do not have the changes introduced here then kernel fail to collect the dump and prints relevant error message on the console.

APP(Available Processor Pool) is an indicator of how many cores in the shared pool are free to use in Shared Processor LPAR(SPLPAR). APP is derived using pool_idle_time which is obtained using H_PIC call. The interval based reports show correct APP value while since boot report shows very high APP values. This happens because in that case APP is obtained by dividing pool idle time by LPAR uptime. Since pool idle time is reported by the PowerVM hypervisor since its boot, it need not align with LPAR boot. To fix that export boot pool idle time in lparcfg and powerpc-utils will use this info to derive APP as below for since boot reports. APP = (pool idle time - boot pool idle time) / (uptime * timebase) Results:: Observe APP values. ====================== Shared LPAR ================================ lparstat System Configuration type=Shared mode=Uncapped smt=8 lcpu=12 mem=15573440 kB cpus=37 ent=12.00 reboot stress-ng --cpu=$(nproc) -t 600 sleep 600 So in this case app is expected to close to 37-6=31. ====== 6.9-rc1 and lparstat 1.3.10 ============= %user %sys %wait %idle physc %entc lbusy app vcsw phint ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- 47.48 0.01 0.00 52.51 0.00 0.00 47.49 69099.72 541547 21 === With this patch and powerpc-utils patch to do the above equation === %user %sys %wait %idle physc %entc lbusy app vcsw phint ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- 47.48 0.01 0.00 52.51 5.73 47.75 47.49 31.21 541753 21 ===================================================================== Note: physc, purr/idle purr being inaccurate is being handled in a separate patch in powerpc-utils tree.

memory limit value specified by the user are further updated such that the value is 16MB aligned. This is because hash translation mode use 16MB as direct mapping page size. Make sure we update the global variable 'memory_limit' with the 16MB aligned value such that all kernel components will see the new aligned value of the memory limit. Signed-off-by:

If the user specifies the memory limit, the kernel should honor it such that all allocation and reservations are made within the memory limit specified. fadump was breaking that rule. Remove the code which updates the memory limit such that fadump reservations are done within the limit specified. Signed-off-by:

The value specified for the memory limit is used to set a restriction on memory usage. It is important to ensure that this restriction is within the linear map kernel address space range. The hash page table translation uses a 16MB page size to map the kernel linear map address space. htab_bolt_mapping() function aligns down the size of the range while mapping kernel linear address space. Since the memblock limit is enforced very early during boot, before we can detect the type of memory translation (radix vs hash), we align the memory limit value specified as a kernel parameter to 16MB. This alignment value will work for both hash and radix translations. Signed-off-by:

Currently walk_vmemmap() skips the first vmemmap entry pointed to by vmemmap_list pointer itself. Fix that. With the fix applied the vmemmap entry at 0xc00c000000000000 for hash is displayed: $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_hash_pagetable ... 0xc00c000000010000: AVPN:cd7bd4e0000 ssize: 1T ... 0xc00c000000000000: AVPN:cd7bd4e0000 ssize: 1T ...

nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() touches per cpu variables which can lead to kernel crash when invoked during real mode interrupt handling (e.g. early HMI/MCE interrupt handler) if percpu allocation comes from vmalloc area. Early HMI/MCE handlers are called through DEFINE_INTERRUPT_HANDLER_NMI() wrapper which invokes nmi_enter/nmi_exit calls. We don't see any issue when percpu allocation is from the embedded first chunk. However with CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK enabled there are chances where percpu allocation can come from the vmalloc area. With kernel command line "percpu_alloc=page" we can force percpu allocation to come from vmalloc area and can see kernel crash in machine_check_early: [ 1.215714] NIP [c000000000e49eb4] rcu_nmi_enter+0x24/0x110 [ 1.215717] LR [c0000000000461a0] machine_check_early+0xf0/0x2c0 [ 1.215719] --- interrupt: 200 [ 1.215720] [c000000fffd73180] [0000000000000000] 0x0 (unreliable) [ 1.215722] [c000000fffd731b0] [0000000000000000] 0x0 [ 1.215724] [c000000fffd73210] [c000000000008364] machine_check_early_common+0x134/0x1f8 Fix this by avoiding use of nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() in real mode if percpu first chunk is not embedded.
