The /proc/powerpc/ofdt interface allows the root user to freely alter the in-kernel device tree, enabling arbitrary physical address writes via drivers that could bind to malicious device nodes, thus making it possible to disable lockdown. Historically this interface has been used on the pseries platform to facilitate the runtime addition and removal of processor, memory, and device resources (aka Dynamic Logical Partitioning or DLPAR). Years ago, the processor and memory use cases were migrated to designs that happen to be lockdown-friendly: device tree updates are communicated directly to the kernel from firmware without passing through untrusted user space. I/O device DLPAR via the "drmgr" command in powerpc-utils remains the sole legitimate user of /proc/powerpc/ofdt, but it is already broken in lockdown since it uses /dev/mem to allocate argument buffers for the rtas syscall. So only illegitimate uses of the interface should see a behavior change when running on a locked down kernel. Signed-off-by:

There are still some board device tree files without Power ISA properties which have Freescale e500v1 cores, namely those which are based on Freescale mpc8540, mpc8541, mpc8555 and mpc8560 processors. So include newly introduced e500v1_power_isa.dtsi file in devices tree files with those processors. Signed-off-by:

Commit 2eb28006 ("powerpc/e500v2: Add Power ISA properties to comply with ePAPR 1.1") introduced new include file e500v2_power_isa.dtsi and should have used it for all e500v2 platforms. But apparently it was used also for e500v1 platforms mpc8540, mpc8541, mpc8555 and mpc8560. e500v1 cores compared to e500v2 do not support double precision floating point SPE instructions. Hence power-isa-sp.fd should not be set on e500v1 platforms, which is in e500v2_power_isa.dtsi include file. Fix this issue by introducing a new e500v1_power_isa.dtsi include file and use it in all e500v1 device tree files.

For PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK sample type, different branch_sample_type, ie branch filters are supported. The testcase "bhrb_filter_map_test" tests the valid and invalid filter maps in different powerpc platforms. Update this testcase to include scenario to cover multiple branch filters at sametime. Since powerpc doesn't support multiple filters at sametime, expect failure during perf_event_open. Reported-by:

For PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK sample type, different branch_sample_type ie branch filters are supported. The branch filters are requested via event attribute "branch_sample_type". Multiple branch filters can be passed in event attribute. eg: $ perf record -b -o- -B --branch-filter any,ind_call true None of the Power PMUs support having multiple branch filters at the same time. Branch filters for branch stack sampling is set via MMCRA IFM bits [32:33]. But currently when requesting for multiple filter types, the "perf record" command does not report any error. eg: $ perf record -b -o- -B --branch-filter any,save_type true $ perf record -b -o- -B --branch-filter any,ind_call true The "bhrb_filter_map" function in PMU driver code does the validity check for supported branch filters. But this check is done for single filter. Hence "perf record" will proceed here without reporting any error. Fix power_pmu_event_init() to return EOPNOTSUPP when multiple branch filters are requested in the event attr. After the fix: $ perf record --branch-filter any,ind_call -- ls Error: cycles: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat' Reported-by:

Ensure r13 is zero from very early in boot until it gets set to the boot paca pointer. This allows early program and mce handlers to halt if there is no valid paca, rather than potentially run off into the weeds. This preserves register and memory contents for low level debugging tools. Nothing could be printed to console at this point in any case because even udbg is only set up after the boot paca is set, so this shouldn't be missed. Signed-off-by:

The idea is to get to the point where if r13 is non-zero, then it should contain a reasonable paca. This can be used in early boot program check and machine check handlers to avoid running off into the weeds if they hit before r13 has a paca. Signed-off-by:

relocate() uses r13 in early boot before it is used for the paca. Use a different register for this so r13 is kept unchanged until it is set to the paca pointer. Avoid r14 as well while we're here, there's no reason not to use the volatile registers which is a bit less surprising, and r14 could be used as another fixed reg one day. Signed-off-by:

Use the early boot interrupt fixup in the machine check handler to allow the machine check handler to run before interrupt endian is set up. Branch to an early boot handler that just does a basic crash, which allows it to run before ppc_md is set up. MSR[ME] is enabled on the boot CPU earlier, and the machine check stack is temporarily set to the middle of the init task stack. This allows machine checks (e.g., due to invalid data access in real mode) to print something useful earlier in boot (as soon as udbg is set up, if CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG=y). Signed-off-by:

The interrupt entry code carefully saves a minimal number of registers, so in some places the TOC is required, it is loaded into a different register, so provide a macro that can supply an alternate TOC register. This continues to use got addressing because TOC-relative results in "got/toc optimization is not supported" messages by the linker. Having r2 be one of the saved registers and using that for TOC addressing may be the best way to avoid that and switch this to TOC addressing. Signed-off-by:

Using a 32-bit constant for this marker allows it to be loaded with two ALU instructions, like 32-bit. This avoids a TOC entry and a TOC load that depends on the r2 value that has just been loaded from the PACA. This changes the value for 32-bit as well, so both have the same value in the low 4 bytes and 64-bit has 0 in the top bytes. Signed-off-by:

When the migration is initiated, the hypervisor changes VAS mappings as part of pre-migration event. Then the OS gets the migration event which closes all VAS windows before the migration starts. NX generates continuous faults until windows are closed and the user space can not differentiate these NX faults coming from the actual migration. So to reduce this time window, close VAS windows first in pseries_migrate_partition(). Signed-off-by:

irq replay is quite complicated because of softirq processing which itself enables and disables irqs. Several considerations need to be accounted for due to this, and they are not clearly documented. Refactor the irq replay code a bit to tidy and deduplicate some common functions. Add comments, debug checks. This has a minor functional change that irq tracing enable/disable is done after each interrupt replayed, rather than after a batch. It also re-sets state to IRQS_ALL_DISABLED after an interrupt, which doesn't matter much because interrupts are hard disabled at this point, but it is more consistent with how interrupt handlers are called.

BUG/WARN are handled with a program interrupt which can turn into an infinite recursion when there are bugs in interrupt handler entry (which can be irritated by bugs in other parts of the code). There is one feeble attempt to avoid this recursion, but it misses several cases. Make a tidier macro for this and switch most bugs in the interrupt entry wrapper over to use it. Signed-off-by:

Prior changes eliminated cases of masked PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK interrupts that re-fire due to MSR[EE] being enabled while they are pending. Add a debug check in the masked interrupt handler to catch if this occurs. Signed-off-by:
-
Nicholas Piggin authored
When irqs are soft-disabled, MSR[EE] is volatile and can change from 1 to 0 asynchronously (if a PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK interrupt hits). So it can not be used to check hard IRQ enabled status, except to confirm it is disabled. ppc64_runlatch_on/off functions use MSR this way to decide whether to re-enable MSR[EE] after disabling it, which leads to MSR[EE] being enabled when it shouldn't be (when a PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK had disabled it between reading the MSR and clearing EE). This has been tolerated in the kernel previously, and it doesn't seem to cause a problem, but it is unexpected and may trip warnings or cause other problems as we tighten up this state management. Fix this by only re-enabling if PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS is clear. Signed-off-by:

If a synchronous interrupt (e.g., hash fault) is taken inside an irqs-disabled region which has MSR[EE]=1, then an asynchronous interrupt that is PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK (e.g., PMI) is taken inside the synchronous interrupt handler, then the synchronous interrupt will return with MSR[EE]=1 and the asynchronous interrupt fires again. If the asynchronous interrupt is a PMI and the original context does not have PMIs disabled (only Linux IRQs), the asynchronous interrupt will fire despite having the PMI marked soft pending. This can confuse the perf code and cause warnings. This patch changes the interrupt return so that irqs-disabled MSR[EE]=1 contexts will be returned to with MSR[EE]=0 if a PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK interrupt has become pending in the meantime. The longer explanation for what happens: 1. local_irq_disable() 2. Hash fault interrupt fires, do_hash_fault handler runs 3. interrupt_enter_prepare() sets IRQS_ALL_DISABLED 4. interrupt_enter_prepare() sets MSR[EE]=1 5. PMU interrupt fires, masked handler runs 6. Masked handler marks PMI pending 7. Masked handler returns with PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS set, MSR[EE]=0 8. do_hash_fault interrupt return handler runs 9. interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() clears PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS 10. interrupt returns with MSR[EE]=1 11. PMU interrupt fires, perf handler runs Fixes: 4423eb5a ("powerpc/64/interrupt: make normal synchronous interrupts enable MSR[EE] if possible") Signed-off-by:

KFENCE support was added for ppc32 in commit 90cbac0e ("powerpc: Enable KFENCE for PPC32"). Enable KFENCE on ppc64 architecture with hash and radix MMUs. It uses the same mechanism as debug pagealloc to protect/unprotect pages. All KFENCE kunit tests pass on both MMUs. KFENCE memory is initially allocated using memblock but is later marked as SLAB allocated. This necessitates the change to __pud_free to ensure that the KFENCE pages are freed appropriately.

Update the 64s GENERIC_CPU option. POWER4 support has been dropped, so make that clear in the option name. The POWER5_CPU option is dropped because it's uncommon, and GENERIC_CPU covers it. -mtune= before power8 is dropped because the minimum gcc version supports power8, and tuning is made consistent between big and little endian. A 970 option is added for PowerPC 970 / G5 because they still have a user base, and -mtune=power8 does not generate good code for the 970.

We want to move away from using SMT priority updates for cpu_relax, and use a 'wait' instruction which is similar to x86. As well as being a much better fit for what everybody else uses and tests with, priority nops are stateful which is nasty (interrupts have to consider they might be taken at a different priority), and they're expensive to execute, similar to a mtSPR which can effect other threads in the pipe. This has shown to give results that are less affected by code alignment on benchmarks that cause a lot of spin waiting (e.g., rwsem contention on unixbench filesystem benchmarks) on POWER10. QEMU TCG only supports this instruction correctly since v7.1, versions without the fix may cause hangs whne running POWER10 CPUs. Reviewed-by:

Setting DEC to maximum at the start of the timer interrupt is not necessary and can be avoided for performance when MSR[EE] is not enabled during the handler as explained in commit 0faf20a1 ("powerpc/64s/interrupt: Don't enable MSR[EE] in irq handlers unless perf is in use"), where this change was first attempted. The idea is that the timer interrupt runs with MSR[EE]=0, and at the end of the interrupt DEC is programmed to the next timer interval, so there is no need to clear the decrementer exception before then. When the above commit was merged, that was not quite true. The low res timer subsystem had some cases in the oneshot timer code where if the tick was to be stopped and no timers active, the clock device would not get the ->set_state_oneshot_stopped() call, so DEC would not get reprogrammed, and this would hang taking continual timer interrupts. So this was reverted in commit d2b9be1f ("powerpc/time: Always set decrementer in timer_interrupt()"), which was a partial revert of the above commit. Commit 62c1256d ("timers/nohz: Switch to ONESHOT_STOPPED in the low-res handler when the tick is stopped") was later merged to fix this missing case in the timer subsystem, so now the behaviour can be restored.

Currently powerpc early debugging contains lot of platform specific options, but does not support standard UART / serial 16550 console. Later legacy_serial.c code supports registering UART as early debug console from device tree but it is not early during booting, but rather later after machine description code finishes. So for real early debugging via UART is current code unsuitable. Add support for new early debugging option CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_16550 which enable Serial 16550 console on address defined by new option CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_16550_PHYSADDR and by stride by option CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_16550_STRIDE. With this change it is possible to debug powerpc machine descriptor code. For example this early debugging code can print on serial console also "No suitable machine description found" error which is done before legacy_serial.c code. Signed-off-by:

Since commit e641eb03 ("powerpc: Fix up the kdump base cap to 128M") memory for kdump kernel has been reserved at an offset of 128MB. This held up well for a long time before running into boot failure on LPARs having a lot of cores. Commit 7c5ed82b ("powerpc: Set crashkernel offset to mid of RMA region") fixed this boot failure by moving the offset to mid of RMA region. This change meant the offset is either 256MB or 512MB on LPARs as ppc64_rma_size was 512MB or 1024MB owing to commit 103a8542 ("powerpc/book3s64/ radix: Fix boot failure with large amount of guest memory"). But ppc64_rma_size can be larger as well with newer f/w. So, limit crashkernel reservation offset to 512MB to avoid running into boot failures during kdump kernel boot, due to RTAS or other allocation restrictions. Also, while here, use SZ_128M instead of opening coding it. Signed-off-by:

Implement syscall wrapper as per s390, x86, arm64. When enabled cause handlers to accept parameters from a stack frame rather than from user scratch register state. This allows for user registers to be safely cleared in order to reduce caller influence on speculation within syscall routine. The wrapper is a macro that emits syscall handler symbols that call into the target handler, obtaining its parameters from a struct pt_regs on the stack. As registers are already saved to the stack prior to calling system_call_exception, it appears that this function is executed more efficiently with the new stack-pointer convention than with parameters passed by registers, avoiding the allocation of a stack frame for this method. On a 32-bit system, we see >20% performance increases on the null_syscall microbenchmark, and on a Power 8 the performance gains amortise the cost of clearing and restoring registers which is implemented at the end of this series, seeing final result of ~5.6% performance improvement on null_syscall. Syscalls are wrapped in this fashion on all platforms except for the Cell processor as this commit does not provide SPU support. This can be quickly fixed in a successive patch, but requires spu_sys_callback to allocate a pt_regs structure to satisfy the wrapped calling convention. Co-developed-by:

Cause syscall handlers to be typed as follows when called indirectly throughout the kernel. This is to allow for better type checking. typedef long (*syscall_fn)(unsigned long, unsigned long, unsigned long, unsigned long, unsigned long, unsigned long); Since both 32 and 64-bit abis allow for at least the first six machine-word length parameters to a function to be passed by registers, even handlers which admit fewer than six parameters may be viewed as having the above type. Coercing syscalls to syscall_fn requires a cast to void* to avoid -Wcast-function-type. Fixup comparisons in VDSO to avoid pointer-integer comparison. Introduce explicit cast on systems with SPUs.
