H_ENTER hcall handling in qemu had assumptions that a cache inhibited hpte entry won't have memory conference set. Also older kernel mentioned that some version of pHyp required this (the code removed by the below commit says: /* Make pHyp happy */ if ((rflags & _PAGE_NO_CACHE) && !(rflags & _PAGE_WRITETHRU)) hpte_r &= ~HPTE_R_M; But with older kernel we had some inconsistent memory conherence mapping. We always enabled memory conherence in the page fault path and removed memory conherence is _PAGE_NO_CACHE was set when we mapped the page via htab_bolt_mapping. The commit mentioned below tried to consolidate that by always enabling memory conherence. But as mentioned above that breaks Qemu H_ENTER handling. This patch update this such that we enable memory conherence only if cache inhibited is not set and bring fault handling, lpar and bolt mapping in sync.

With commit e58e87ad "powerpc/mm: Update _PAGE_KERNEL_RO" we now use all the three PPP bits. The top bit is now used to have a PPP value of 0b110 which will be mapped to kernel read only. When updating the hpte entry use right mask such that we update the 63rd bit (top 'P' bit) too. Prior to e58e87ad we didn't support KERNEL_RO at all (it was == KERNEL_RW), so this isn't a regression as such. Fixes: e58e87ad ("powerpc/mm: Update _PAGE_KERNEL_RO") Signed-off-by:

Even though a tlb_flush() does a flush with invalidate all cache, we can end up doing an RCU page table free before calling tlb_flush(). That means we can have page walk cache entries even after we free the page table pages. This can result in us doing wrong page table walk. Avoid this by doing pwc flush on every page table free. We can't batch the pwc flush, because the rcu call back function where we free the page table pages doesn't have information of the mmu gather. Thus we have to do a pwc on every page table page freed. Note: I also removed the dummy tlb_flush_pgtable call functions for hash 32.

Radix invalidate control (RIC) is used to control which cache to flush using tlb instructions. When doing a PID flush, we currently flush everything including page walk cache. For address range flush, we flush only the TLB. In the next patch, we add support for flushing only the page walk cache. Signed-off-by:

In some of the radix TLB flush routines, we use a local to store the mm->context.id, AKA the PID. Currently we use an int, but the PID is unsigned long, so large values of PID will be truncated. In particular MMU_NO_CONTEXT is -1, which means all our comparisons against that value can never be true. This means we'll issue TLB flushes when we shouldn't on radix enabled machines. Fix it by using an unsigned long for the local. Discovered by Coverity. Fixes: 1a472c9d ("powerpc/mm/radix: Add tlbflush routines") Signed-off-by:

The recent commit 7cc85103 ("powerpc/pseries: Add POWER8NVL support to ibm,client-architecture-support call") added a new PVR mask & value to the start of the ibm_architecture_vec[] array. However it missed the fact that further down in the array, we hard code the offset of one of the fields, and then at boot use that value to patch the value in the array. This means every update to the array must also update the #define, ugh. This means that on pseries machines we will misreport to firmware the number of cores we support, by a factor of threads_per_core. Fix it for now by updating the #define.

In commit 8445a87f "powerpc/iommu: Remove the dependency on EEH struct in DDW mechanism", the PE address was replaced with the PCI config address in order to remove dependency on EEH. According to PAPR spec, firmware (pHyp or QEMU) should accept "xxBBSSxx" format PCI config address, not "xxxxBBSS" provided by the patch. Note that "BB" is PCI bus number and "SS" is the combination of slot and function number. This fixes the PCI address passed to DDW RTAS calls.

If we do not provide the PVR for POWER8NVL, a guest on this system currently ends up in PowerISA 2.06 compatibility mode on KVM, since QEMU does not provide a generic PowerISA 2.07 mode yet. So some new instructions from POWER8 (like "mtvsrd") get disabled for the guest, resulting in crashes when using code compiled explicitly for POWER8 (e.g. with the "-mcpu=power8" option of GCC).

When we converted the asm routines to C functions, we missed updating HPTE_R_R based on _PAGE_ACCESSED. ASM code used to copy over the lower bits from pte via. andi. r3,r30,0x1fe /* Get basic set of flags */ We also update the code such that we won't update the Change bit ('C' bit) always. This was added by commit c5cf0e30 ("powerpc: Fix buglet with MMU hash management"). With hash64, we need to make sure that hardware doesn't do a pte update directly. This is because we do end up with entries in TLB with no hash page table entry. This happens because when we find a hash bucket full, we "evict" a more/less random entry from it. When we do that we don't invalidate the TLB (hpte_remove) because we assume the old translation is still technically "valid". For more info look at commit 0608d692("powerpc/mm: Always invalidate tlb on hpte invalidate and update"). Thus it's critical that valid hash PTEs always have reference bit set and writeable ones have change bit set. We do this by hashing a non-dirty linux PTE as read-only and always setting _PAGE_ACCESSED (and thus R) when hashing anything else in. Any attempt by Linux at clearing those bits also removes the corresponding hash entry. Commit 5cf0e30bf3d8 did that for 'C' bit by enabling 'C' bit always. We don't really need to do that because we never map a RW pte entry without setting 'C' bit. On READ fault on a RW pte entry, we still map it READ only, hence a store update in the page will still cause a hash pte fault. This patch reverts the part of commit c5cf0e30 ("[PATCH] powerpc: Fix buglet with MMU hash management") and retain the updatepp part. - If we hit the updatepp path on native, the old code without that commit, would fail to set C bcause native_hpte_updatepp() was implemented to filter the same bits as H_PROTECT and not let C through thus we would "upgrade" a RO HPTE to RW without setting C thus causing the bug. So the real fix in that commit was the change to native_hpte_updatepp Fixes: 89ff7250 ("powerpc/mm: Convert __hash_page_64K to C") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.5+ Signed-off-by:Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by:

The SIAR and SDAR registers are available twice, one time as SPRs 780 / 781 (unprivileged, but read-only), and one time as the SPRs 796 / 797 (privileged, but read and write). The Linux kernel code currently uses the unprivileged SPRs - while this is OK for reading, writing to that register of course does not work. Since the KVM code tries to write to this register, too (see the mtspr in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S), the contents of this register sometimes get lost for the guests, e.g. during migration of a VM. To fix this issue, simply switch to the privileged SPR numbers instead. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

In the "ibm,configure-pe" and "ibm,configure-bridge" RTAS calls, the spec states that values of 9900-9905 can be returned, indicating that software should delay for 10^x (where x is the last digit, i.e. 990x) milliseconds and attempt the call again. Currently, the kernel doesn't know about this, and respecting it fixes some PCI failures when the hypervisor is busy. The delay is capped at 0.2 seconds.

The HPFS filesystem used generic_show_options to produce string that is displayed in /proc/mounts. However, there is a problem that the options may disappear after remount. If we mount the filesystem with option1 and then remount it with option2, /proc/mounts should show both option1 and option2, however it only shows option2 because the whole option string is replaced with replace_mount_options in hpfs_remount_fs. To fix this bug, implement the hpfs_show_options function that prints options that are currently selected. Signed-off-by:

In this case, kstrdup returns NULL (because it was passed NULL parameter), although no out of memory condition exists. The mount syscall then fails with ENOMEM. This patch fixes the bug. We fail with ENOMEM only if data is non-NULL.

Pull string hash improvements from George Spelvin: "This series does several related things: - Makes the dcache hash (fs/namei.c) useful for general kernel use. (Thanks to Bruce for noticing the zero-length corner case) - Converts the string hashes in <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h> to use the above. - Avoids 64-bit multiplies in hash_64() on 32-bit platforms. Two 32-bit multiplies will do well enough. - Rids the world of the bad hash multipliers in hash_32. This finishes the job started in commit 689de1d6 ("Minimal fix-up of bad hashing behavior of hash_64()") The vast majority of Linux architectures have hardware support for 32x32-bit multiply and so derive no benefit from "simplified" multipliers. The few processors that do not (68000, h8/300 and some models of Microblaze) have arch-specific implementations added. Those patches are last in the series. - Overhauls the dcache hash mixing.

Replaced with a much more careful design that's simultaneously faster and better. (My own invention, as there was noting suitable in the literature I could find. Comments welcome!) - Modify the hash_name() loop to skip the initial HASH_MIX(). This would let us salt the hash if we ever wanted to. - Sort out partial_name_hash(). The hash function is declared as using a long state, even though it's truncated to 32 bits at the end and the extra internal state contributes nothing to the result.

Patch 0fed3ac8 improved the hash mixing, but the function is slower than necessary; there's a 7-instruction dependency chain (10 on x86) each loop iteration. Word-at-a-time access is a very tight loop (which is good, because link_path_walk() is one of the hottest code paths in the entire kernel), and the hash mixing function must not have a longer latency to avoid slowing it down. There do not appear to be any published fast hash functions that: 1) Operate on the input a word at a time, and 2) Don't need to know the length of the input beforehand, and 3) Have a single iterated mixing function, not needing conditional branches or unrolling to distinguish different loop iterations. One of the algorithms which comes closest is Yann Collet's xxHash, but that's two dependent multiplies per word, which is too much. The key insights in this design are: 1) Barring expensive ops like multiplies, to diffuse one input bit across 64 bits of hash state takes at least log2(64) = 6 sequentially dependent instructions. That is more cycles than we'd like. 2) An operation like "hash ^= hash << 13" requires a second temporary register anyway, and on a 2-operand machine like x86, it's three instructions. 3) A better use of a second register is to hold a two-word hash state. With careful design, no temporaries are needed at all, so it doesn't increase register pressure. And this gets rid of register copying on 2-operand machines, so the code is smaller and faster. 4) Using two words of state weakens the requirement for one-round mixing; we now have two rounds of mixing before cancellation is possible. 5) A two-word hash state also allows operations on both halves to be done in parallel, so on a superscalar processor we get more mixing in fewer cycles. I ended up using a mixing function inspired by the ChaCha and Speck round functions. It is 6 simple instructions and 3 cycles per iteration (assuming multiply by 9 can be done by an "lea" instruction): x ^= *input++; y ^= x; x = ROL(x, K1); x += y; y = ROL(y, K2); y *= 9; Not only is this reversible, two consecutive rounds are reversible: if you are given the initial and final states, but not the intermediate state, it is possible to compute both input words. This means that at least 3 words of input are required to create a collision. (It also has the property, used by hash_name() to avoid a branch, that it hashes all-zero to all-zero.) The rotate constants K1 and K2 were found by experiment. The search took a sample of random initial states (I used 1023) and considered the effect of flipping each of the 64 input bits on each of the 128 output bits two rounds later. Each of the 8192 pairs can be considered a biased coin, and adding up the Shannon entropy of all of them produces a score. The best-scoring shifts also did well in other tests (flipping bits in y, trying 3 or 4 rounds of mixing, flipping all 64*63/2 pairs of input bits), so the choice was made with the additional constraint that the sum of the shifts is odd and not too close to the word size. The final state is then folded into a 32-bit hash value by a less carefully optimized multiply-based scheme. This also has to be fast, as pathname components tend to be short (the most common case is one iteration!), but there's some room for latency, as there is a fair bit of intervening logic before the hash value is used for anything. (Performance verified with "bonnie++ -s 0 -n 1536:-2" on tmpfs. I need a better benchmark; the numbers seem to show a slight dip in performance between 4.6.0 and this patch, but they're too noisy to quote.)

The "simplified" prime multipliers made very bad hash functions, so get rid of them. This completes the work of 689de1d6. To avoid the inefficiency which was the motivation for the "simplified" multipliers, hash_64() on 32-bit systems is changed to use a different algorithm. It makes two calls to hash_32() instead. drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/af9015.c uses the old GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME_32 for some horrible reason, so it inherits a copy of the old definition. Signed-off-by:

That's all that's ever asked for, and it makes the return type of hash_long() consistent. It also allows (upcoming patch) an optimized implementation of hash_64 on 32-bit machines. I tried adding a BUILD_BUG_ON to ensure the number of bits requested was never more than 32 (most callers use a compile-time constant), but adding <linux/bug.h> to <linux/hash.h> breaks the tools/perf compiler unless tools/perf/MANIFEST is updated, and understanding that code base well enough to update it is too much trouble. I did the rest of an allyesconfig build with such a check, and nothing tripped. Signed-off-by: -

Finally, the first use of previous two patches: eliminate the separate ad-hoc string hash functions in the sunrpc code. Now hash_str() is a wrapper around hash_string(), and hash_mem() is likewise a wrapper around full_name_hash(). Note that sunrpc code *does* call hash_mem() with a zero length, which is why the previous patch needed to handle that in full_name_hash(). (Thanks, Bruce, for finding that!) This also eliminates the only caller of hash_long which asks for more than 32 bits of output. The comment about the quality of hashlen_string() and full_name_hash() is jumping the gun by a few patches; they aren't very impressive now, but will be improved greatly later in the series.

(The name is to emphasize that it returns both hash and length.) It's actually useful in the dcache itself, specifically d_alloc_name(). Other uses in the next patch. full_name_hash() is also tweaked to make it more generally useful: 1) Take a "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" argument, to be consistent with hash_name(). 2) Handle zero-length inputs. If we want more callers, we don't want to make them worry about corner cases. Signed-off-by: -

Pull i2c fix from Wolfram Sang: "A fix for a regression introduced yesterday. The regression didn't show up here locally because I did not have PAGE_POISONING enabled. And buildbots discovered this only after it hit your tree. Thanks to Dan for the quick response" * 'i2c/for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux: i2c: dev: use after free in detach
