Add a boot option that strictly manages the MSR unavailable bits. This catches kernel uses of FP/Altivec/SPE that would otherwise corrupt user state. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

The enable_kernel_*() functions leave the relevant MSR bits enabled until we exit the kernel sometime later. Create disable versions that wrap the kernel use of FP, Altivec VSX or SPE. While we don't want to disable it normally for performance reasons (MSR writes are slow), it will be used for a debug boot option that does this and catches bad uses in other areas of the kernel.

Move the MSR modification into c. Removing it from the assembly function will allow us to avoid costly MSR writes by batching them up. Check the FP and VMX bits before calling the relevant giveup_*() function. This makes giveup_vsx() and flush_vsx_to_thread() perform more like their sister functions, and allows us to use flush_vsx_to_thread() in the signal code. Move the check_if_tm_restore_required() check in. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

The UP only lazy floating point and vector optimisations were written back when SMP was not common, and neither glibc nor gcc used vector instructions. Now SMP is very common, glibc aggressively uses vector instructions and gcc autovectorises. We want to add new optimisations that apply to both UP and SMP, but in preparation for that remove these UP only optimisations.

Move all our context switch SPR save and restore code into two helpers. We do a few optimisations: - Group all mfsprs and all mtsprs. In many cases an mtspr sets a scoreboarding bit that an mfspr waits on, so the current practise of mfspr A; mtspr A; mfpsr B; mtspr B is the worst scheduling we can do. - SPR writes are slow, so check that the value is changing before writing it.

Writing the MSR is slow, so we want to avoid it whenever possible. A subsequent patch will add a debug option that strictly manages the FP/VMX/VSX unavailable bits.

Currently, if HV KVM is configured but PR KVM isn't, we don't include a test to see whether we were interrupted in KVM guest context for the set of interrupts which get delivered directly to the guest by hardware if they occur in the guest. This includes things like program interrupts. However, the recent bug where userspace could set the MSR for a VCPU to have an illegal value in the TS field, and thus cause a TM Bad Thing type of program interrupt on the hrfid that enters the guest, showed that we can never be completely sure that these interrupts can never occur in the guest entry/exit code. If one of these interrupts does happen and we have HV KVM configured but not PR KVM, then we end up trying to run the handler in the host with the MMU set to the guest MMU context, which generally ends badly. Thus, for robustness it is better to have the test in every interrupt vector, so that if some way is found to trigger some interrupt in the guest entry/exit path, we can handle it without immediately crashing the host. This means that the distinction between KVMTEST and KVMTEST_PR goes away. Thus we delete KVMTEST_PR and associated macros and use KVMTEST everywhere that we previously used either KVMTEST_PR or KVMTEST. It also means that SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 becomes the same as SOFTEN_TEST_PR, so we deleted SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 and use SOFTEN_TEST_PR instead.

It is common practice with powerpc to use 'rN' to refer to register 'N'. However when using the pt_regs_offset table we have to use 'gprN'. So add aliases such that both 'rN' and 'gprN' can be used. For example, we can currently do: $ su - $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing $ echo "p:probe/sys_fchownat sys_fchownat %gpr3:s32 +0(%gpr4):string %gpr5:s32 %gpr6:s32 %gpr7:s32" > kprobe_events $ echo 1 > events/probe/sys_fchownat/enable $ touch /tmp/foo $ chown root /tmp/foo $ echo 0 > events/enable $ cat trace chown-2925 [014] d... 76.160657: sys_fchownat: (SyS_fchownat+0x8/0x1a0) arg1=-100 arg2="/tmp/foo" arg3=0 arg4=-1 arg5=0 Instead we'd like to be able to use: $ echo "p:probe/sys_fchownat sys_fchownat %r3:s32 +0(%r4):string %r5:s32 %r6:s32 %r7:s32" > kprobe_events Signed-off-by: Rashmica Gupta <rashmicy@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Most architectures use NR_syscalls as the #define for the number of syscalls. We use __NR_syscalls, and then define NR_syscalls as __NR_syscalls. __NR_syscalls is not used outside arch code, whereas NR_syscalls is. So as NR_syscalls must be defined and __NR_syscalls does not, replace __NR_syscalls with NR_syscalls.

When writing a value to config space, cxl_pcie_write_config() calls cxl_pcie_config_info() to obtain a mask and shift value, shifts the new value accordingly, then uses the mask to combine the shifted value with the existing value at the address as part of a read-modify-write pattern. Currently, we use a logical OR operator rather than a bitwise OR operator, which means any use of this function results in an incorrect value being written. Replace the logical OR operator with a bitwise OR operator so the value is written correctly.

An idr warning is reported when a context is release after the capi card is unbound from the cxl driver via sysfs. Below are the steps to reproduce: 1. Create multiple afu contexts in an user-space application using libcxl. 2. Unbind capi card from cxl using command of form echo <capi-card-pci-addr> > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/cxl-pci/unbind 3. Exit/kill the application owning afu contexts. After above steps a warning message is usually seen in the kernel logs of the form "idr_remove called for id=<context-id> which is not allocated." This is caused by the function cxl_release_afu which destroys the contexts_idr table. So when a context is release no entry for context pe is found in the contexts_idr table and idr code prints this warning. This patch fixes this issue by increasing & decreasing the ref-count on the afu device when a context is initialized or when its freed respectively. This prevents the afu from being released until all the afu contexts have been released. The patch introduces two new functions namely cxl_afu_get/put that manage the ref-count on the afu device. Also the patch removes code inside cxl_dev_context_init that increases ref on the afu device as its guaranteed to be alive during this function.

Merge slub bulk allocator updates from Andrew Morton: "This missed the merge window because I was waiting for some repairs to come in. Nothing actually uses the bulk allocator yet and the changes to other code paths are pretty small. And the net guys are waiting for this so they can start merging the client code" More comments from Jesper Dangaard Brouer: "The kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() call, in mm/slub.c, were included in previous kernel. The present version contains a bug. Vladimir Davydov noticed it contained a bug, when kernel is compiled with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM (see commit 03ec0ed5: "slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk"). Plus the mem cgroup counterpart in kmem_cache_free_bulk() were missing (see commit 03374518 "slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk"). I don't consider the fix stable-material because there are no in-tree users of the API. But with known bugs (for memcg) I cannot start using the API in the net-tree" * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist slub: support for bulk free with SLUB freelists

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users. Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'. This is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API. A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects. The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc run without local IRQs disabled. With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing" the entire c->freelist or page->freelist. To avoid overshooting we would stop processing at a slab-page boundary. Else we always end up returning some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg. To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated objects with this API change.

Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this. If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough to not add any asm code. Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context. Thus, we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).
