Pull powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt: "Here is a bunch of post-merge window fixes that have been accumulating in patchwork while I was on vacation or buried under other stuff last week. We have the now usual batch of LE fixes from Anton (sadly some new stuff that went into this merge window had endian issues, we'll try to make sure we do better next time) Some fixes and cleanups to the new 24x7 performance monitoring stuff (mostly typos and cleaning up printk's) A series of fixes for an issue with our runlatch bit, which wasn't set properly for offlined threads/cores and under KVM, causing potentially some counters to misbehave along with possible power management issues. A fix for kexec nasty race where the new kernel wouldn't "see" the secondary processors having reached back into firmware in time. And finally a few other misc (and pretty simple) bug fixes" * 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (33 commits) powerpc/4xx: Fix section mismatch in ppc4xx_pci.c ppc/kvm: Clear the runlatch bit of a vcpu before napping ppc/kvm: Set the runlatch bit of a CPU just before starting guest ppc/powernv: Set the runlatch bits correctly for offline cpus powerpc/pseries: Protect remove_memory() with device hotplug lock powerpc: Fix error return in rtas_flash module init powerpc: Bump BOOT_COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 2048 powerpc: Bump COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 2048 powerpc: Rename duplicate COMMAND_LINE_SIZE define powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Catalog version number is be64, not be32 powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Remove [static 4096], sparse chokes on it powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Use (unsigned long) not (u32) values when calling plpar_hcall_norets() powerpc/perf/hv-gpci: Make device attr static powerpc/perf/hv_gpci: Probe failures use pr_debug(), and padding reduced powerpc/perf/hv_24x7: Probe errors changed to pr_debug(), padding fixed powerpc/mm: Fix tlbie to add AVAL fields for 64K pages powerpc/powernv: Fix little endian issues in OPAL dump code powerpc/powernv: Create OPAL sglist helper functions and fix endian issues powerpc/powernv: Fix little endian issues in OPAL error log code powerpc/powernv: Fix little endian issues with opal_do_notifier calls ...

BUG_ON() is a big hammer, and should be used _only_ if there is some major corruption that you cannot possibly recover from, making it imperative that the current process (and possibly the whole machine) be terminated with extreme prejudice. The trivial sanity check in the vmacache code is *not* such a fatal error. Recovering from it is absolutely trivial, and using BUG_ON() just makes it harder to debug for no actual advantage. To make matters worse, the placement of the BUG_ON() (only if the range check matched) actually makes it harder to hit the sanity check to begin with, so _if_ there is a bug (and we just got a report from Srivatsa Bhat that this can indeed trigger), it is harder to debug not just because the machine is possibly dead, but because we don't have better coverage. BUG_ON() must *die*. Maybe we should add a checkpatch warning for it, because it is simply just about the worst thing you can ever do if you hit some "this cannot happen" situation.

This patch fixes this section mismatch: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1efc4): Section mismatch in reference from the function apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw() to the function .init.text:ppc4xx_pciex_wait_on_sdr.isra.9() The function apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw() references the function __init ppc4xx_pciex_wait_on_sdr.isra.9(). This is often because apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of ppc4xx_pciex_wait_on_sdr.isra.9 is wrong. apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw is only referenced by a struct in __initdata, so it should be safe to add __init to apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw.

The secondary threads in the core are kept offline before launching guests in kvm on powerpc: "371fefd6:KVM: PPC: Allow book3s_hv guests to use SMT processor modes." Hence their runlatch bits are cleared. When the secondary threads are called in to start a guest, their runlatch bits need to be set to indicate that they are busy. The primary thread has its runlatch bit set though, but there is no harm in setting this bit once again. Hence set the runlatch bit for all threads before they start guest.

Up until now we have been setting the runlatch bits for a busy CPU and clearing it when a CPU enters idle state. The runlatch bit has thus been consistent with the utilization of a CPU as long as the CPU is online. However when a CPU is hotplugged out the runlatch bit is not cleared. It needs to be cleared to indicate an unused CPU. Hence this patch has the runlatch bit cleared for an offline CPU just before entering an idle state and sets it immediately after it exits the idle state.

While testing memory hot-remove, I found following dead lock: Process #1141 is drmgr, trying to remove some memory, i.e. memory499. It holds the memory_hotplug_mutex, and blocks when trying to remove file "online" under dir memory499, in kernfs_drain(), at wait_event(root->deactivate_waitq, atomic_read(&kn->active) == KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS); Process #1120 is trying to online memory499 by echo 1 > memory499/online In .kernfs_fop_write, it uses kernfs_get_active() to increase &kn->active, thus blocking process #1141. While itself is blocked later when trying to acquire memory_hotplug_mutex, which is held by process The backtrace of both processes are shown below: [<c000000001b18600>] 0xc000000001b18600 [<c000000000015044>] .__switch_to+0x144/0x200 [<c000000000263ca4>] .online_pages+0x74/0x7b0 [<c00000000055b40c>] .memory_subsys_online+0x9c/0x150 [<c00000000053cbe8>] .device_online+0xb8/0x120 [<c00000000053cd04>] .online_store+0xb4/0xc0 [<c000000000538ce4>] .dev_attr_store+0x64/0xa0 [<c00000000030f4ec>] .sysfs_kf_write+0x7c/0xb0 [<c00000000030e574>] .kernfs_fop_write+0x154/0x1e0 [<c000000000268450>] .vfs_write+0xe0/0x260 [<c000000000269144>] .SyS_write+0x64/0x110 [<c000000000009ffc>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x7c [<c000000001b18600>] 0xc000000001b18600 [<c000000000015044>] .__switch_to+0x144/0x200 [<c00000000030be14>] .__kernfs_remove+0x204/0x300 [<c00000000030d428>] .kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x68/0xf0 [<c00000000030fb38>] .sysfs_remove_file_ns+0x38/0x60 [<c000000000539354>] .device_remove_attrs+0x54/0xc0 [<c000000000539fd8>] .device_del+0x158/0x250 [<c00000000053a104>] .device_unregister+0x34/0xa0 [<c00000000055bc14>] .unregister_memory_section+0x164/0x170 [<c00000000024ee18>] .__remove_pages+0x108/0x4c0 [<c00000000004b590>] .arch_remove_memory+0x60/0xc0 [<c00000000026446c>] .remove_memory+0x8c/0xe0 [<c00000000007f9f4>] .pseries_remove_memblock+0xd4/0x160 [<c00000000007fcfc>] .pseries_memory_notifier+0x27c/0x290 [<c0000000008ae6cc>] .notifier_call_chain+0x8c/0x100 [<c0000000000d858c>] .__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x6c/0xe0 [<c00000000071ddec>] .of_property_notify+0x7c/0xc0 [<c00000000071ed3c>] .of_update_property+0x3c/0x1b0 [<c0000000000756cc>] .ofdt_write+0x3dc/0x740 [<c0000000002f60fc>] .proc_reg_write+0xac/0x110 [<c000000000268450>] .vfs_write+0xe0/0x260 [<c000000000269144>] .SyS_write+0x64/0x110 [<c000000000009ffc>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x7c This patch uses lock_device_hotplug() to protect remove_memory() called in pseries_remove_memblock(), which is also stated before function remove_memory(): * NOTE: The caller must call lock_device_hotplug() to serialize hotplug * and online/offline operations before this call, as required by * try_offline_node(). */ void __ref remove_memory(int nid, u64 start, u64 size) With this lock held, the other process(#1120 above) trying to online the memory block will retry the system call when calling lock_device_hotplug_sysfs(), and finally find No such device error.

We have two definitions of COMMAND_LINE_SIZE, one for the kernel and one for the boot wrapper. I assume this is so the boot wrapper can be self sufficient and not rely on kernel headers. Having two defines with the same name is confusing, I just updated the wrong one when trying to bump it. Make the boot wrapper define unique by calling it BOOT_COMMAND_LINE_SIZE.

We have two copies of code that creates an OPAL sg list. Consolidate these into a common set of helpers and fix the endian issues. The flash interface embedded a version number in the num_entries field, whereas the dump interface did did not. Since versioning wasn't added to the flash interface and it is impossible to add this in a backwards compatible way, just remove it.

During the EEH hotplug event, iommu_add_device() will be invoked three times and two of them will trigger warning or error. The three times to invoke the iommu_add_device() are: pci_device_add ... set_iommu_table_base_and_group <- 1st time, fail device_add ... tce_iommu_bus_notifier <- 2nd time, succees pcibios_add_pci_devices ... pcibios_setup_bus_devices <- 3rd time, re-attach The first time fails, since the dev->kobj->sd is not initialized. The dev->kobj->sd is initialized in device_add(). The third time's warning is triggered by the re-attach of the iommu_group.

We have a subtle race when sending CPUs back to OPAL on kexec. We mark them as "in real mode" right before we send them down. Once we've booted the new kernel, it might try to call opal_reinit_cpus() to change endianness, and that requires all CPUs to be spinning inside OPAL. However there is no synchronization here and we've observed cases where the returning CPUs hadn't established their new state inside OPAL before opal_reinit_cpus() is called, causing it to fail. The proper fix is to actually wait for them to go down all the way from the kexec'ing kernel. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The size of the sysparam sysfs files is determined from the device tree at boot. However the buffer is hard coded to 64 bytes. If we encounter a parameter that is larger than 64, or miss-parse the device tree, the buffer will overflow when reading or writing to the parameter. Check it at discovery time, and if the parameter is too large, do not create a sysfs entry for it.

When a sysparam query in OPAL returned a negative value (error code), sysfs would spew out a decent chunk of memory; almost 64K more than expected. This was traced to a sign/unsigned mix up in the OPAL sysparam sysfs code at sys_param_show. The return value of sys_param_show is a ssize_t, calculated using return ret ? ret : attr->param_size; Alan Modra explains: "attr->param_size" is an unsigned int, "ret" an int, so the overall expression has type unsigned int. Result is that ret is cast to unsigned int before being cast to ssize_t. Instead of using the ternary operator, set ret to the param_size if an error is not detected. The same bug exists in the sysfs write callback; this patch fixes it in the same way. A note on debugging this next time: on my system gcc will warn about this if compiled with -Wsign-compare, which is not enabled by -Wall, only -Wextra.

commit 41dd03a9 may cause Oops in rtas_stop_self(). The reason is that the rtas_args was moved into stack space. For a box with more that 4GB RAM, the stack could easily be outside 32bit range, but RTAS is 32bit. So the patch moves rtas_args away from stack by adding static before it.

Commit aac416fc (lkdtm: flush icache and report actions) calls flush_icache_range from a module. It's exported on most architectures that implement it, but not on powerpc. This patch exports it to fix the module link failure. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The asm-generic, big-endian version of zero_bytemask creates a mask of bytes preceding the first zero-byte by left shifting ~0ul based on the position of the first zero byte. Unfortunately, if the first (top) byte is zero, the output of prep_zero_mask has only the top bit set, resulting in undefined C behaviour as we shift left by an amount equal to the width of the type. As it happens, GCC doesn't manage to spot this through the call to fls(), but the issue remains if architectures choose to implement their shift instructions differently. An example would be arch/arm/ (AArch32), where LSL Rd, Rn, #32 results in Rd == 0x0, whilst on arch/arm64 (AArch64) LSL Xd, Xn, #64 results in Xd == Xn. Rather than check explicitly for the problematic shift, this patch adds an extra shift by 1, replacing fls with __fls. Since zero_bytemask is never called with a zero argument (has_zero() is used to check the data first), we don't need to worry about calling __fls(0), which is undefined.

This merges the patch to fix possible loss of dirty bit on munmap() or madvice(DONTNEED). If there are concurrent writers on other CPU's that have the unmapped/unneeded page in their TLBs, their writes to the page could possibly get lost if a third CPU raced with the TLB flush and did a page_mkclean() before the page was fully written. Admittedly, if you unmap() or madvice(DONTNEED) an area _while_ another thread is still busy writing to it, you deserve all the lost writes you could get. But we kernel people hold ourselves to higher quality standards than "crazy people deserve to lose", because, well, we've seen people do all kinds of crazy things. So let's get it right, just because we can, and we don't have to worry about it. * safe-dirty-tlb-flush: mm: split 'tlb_flush_mmu()' into tlb flushing and memory freeing parts
