Commit c46241a3 ("powerpc/pkeys: Check vma before returning key fault error to the user") fixes a bug which causes the kernel to set the wrong pkey in siginfo when a pkey fault occurs after two competing threads that have allocated different pkeys, one fully permissive and the other restrictive, attempt to protect a common page at the same time. This adds a test to detect the bug. Signed-off-by:

Commit 192b6a78 ("powerpc/book3s64/pkeys: Fix pkey_access_permitted() for execute disable pkey") fixed a bug that caused repetitive faults for pkeys with no execute rights alongside some combination of read and write rights. This removes the last two cases of the test, which check the behaviour of pkeys with read, write but no execute rights and all the rights, in favour of checking all the possible combinations of read, write and execute rights to be able to detect bugs like the one mentioned above.

KVM guests have certain restrictions and performance quirks when using doorbells. This patch moves the EPAPR KVM guest test so it can be shared with PSERIES, and uses that in doorbell setup code to apply the KVM guest quirks and improves IPI performance for two cases: - PowerVM guests may now use doorbells even if they are secure. - KVM guests no longer use doorbells if XIVE is available. There is a valid complaint that "KVM guest" is not a very reasonable thing to test for, it's preferable for the hypervisor to advertise particular behaviours to the guest so they could change if the hypervisor implementation or configuration changes. However in this case we were already assuming a KVM guest worst case, so this patch is about containing those quirks. If KVM later advertises fast doorbells, we should test for that and override the quirks. Signed-off-by:

KVM supports msgsndp in guests by trapping and emulating the instruction, so it was decided to always use XIVE for IPIs if it is available. However on PowerVM systems, msgsndp can be used and gives better performance. On large systems, high XIVE interrupt rates can have sub-linear scaling, and using msgsndp can reduce the load on the interrupt controller. So switch to using core local doorbells even if XIVE is available. This reduces performance for KVM guests with an SMT topology by about 50% for ping-pong context switching between SMT vCPUs. An option vector (or dt-cpu-ftrs) could be defined to disable msgsndp to get KVM performance back. Signed-off-by:

In note_page(), the pg_state is updated the same way in two places. Add note_page_update_state() to do it. Also include the display of boundary markers there as it is missing "no level" leg, leading to a mismatch when the first two markers are at the same address and the first displayed area uses that address.

When STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is set, we want to set NX bit on vmalloc segments. But modules require exec. Use a dedicated segment for modules. There is not much space above kernel, and we don't waste vmalloc space to do alignment. Therefore, we take the segment before PAGE_OFFSET for modules. Signed-off-by:

User space stops at TASK_SIZE. At the moment, kernel space starts at PAGE_OFFSET. In order to use space between TASK_SIZE and PAGE_OFFSET for modules, make TASK_SIZE the limit between user and kernel space. Note that fault.c already considers TASK_SIZE as the boundary between user and kernel space. Signed-off-by:

Clang's objdump emits slightly different output from GNU's objdump, causing a list of warnings to be emitted during relocatable builds. E.g., clang's objdump emits this: c000000000000004: 2c 00 00 48 b 0xc000000000000030 ... c000000000005c6c: 10 00 82 40 bf 2, 0xc000000000005c7c while GNU objdump emits: c000000000000004: 2c 00 00 48 b c000000000000030 <__start+0x30> ... c000000000005c6c: 10 00 82 40 bne c000000000005c7c <masked_interrupt+0x3c> Adjust llvm-objdump's output to remove the extraneous '0x' and convert 'bf' and 'bt' to 'bne' and 'beq' resp. to more closely match GNU objdump's output. Note that clang's objdump doesn't yet output the relocation symbols on PPC. Signed-off-by:

Nicholas Piggin authored
This implements the generic paravirt qspinlocks using H_PROD and H_CONFER to kick and wait. This uses an un-directed yield to any CPU rather than the directed yield to a pre-empted lock holder that paravirtualised simple spinlocks use, that requires no kick hcall. This is something that could be investigated and improved in future. Performance results can be found in the commit which added queued spinlocks. Signed-off-by:

These have shown significantly improved performance and fairness when spinlock contention is moderate to high on very large systems. With this series including subsequent patches, on a 16 socket 1536 thread POWER9, a stress test such as same-file open/close from all CPUs gets big speedups, 11620op/s aggregate with simple spinlocks vs 384158op/s (33x faster), where the difference in throughput between the fastest and slowest thread goes from 7x to 1.4x. Thanks to the fast path being identical in terms of atomics and barriers (after a subsequent optimisation patch), single threaded performance is not changed (no measurable difference). On smaller systems, performance and fairness seems to be generally improved. Using dbench on tmpfs as a test (that starts to run into kernel spinlock contention), a 2-socket OpenPOWER POWER9 system was tested with bare metal and KVM guest configurations. Results can be found here: https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/305#issuecomment-663487453 Observations are: - Queued spinlocks are equal when contention is insignificant, as expected and as measured with microbenchmarks. - When there is contention, on bare metal queued spinlocks have better throughput and max latency at all points. - When virtualised, queued spinlocks are slightly worse approaching peak throughput, but significantly better throughput and max latency at all points beyond peak, until queued spinlock maximum latency rises when clients are 2x vCPUs. The regressions haven't been analysed very well yet, there are a lot of things that can be tuned, particularly the paravirtualised locking, but the numbers already look like a good net win even on relatively small systems.

MAX_NUMNODES is a theoretical maximum number of nodes thats is supported by the kernel. Device tree properties exposes the number of possible nodes on the current platform. The kernel would detected this and would use it for most of its resource allocations. If the platform now increases the nodes to over what was already exposed, then it may lead to inconsistencies. Hence limit it to the already exposed nodes. Suggested-by:
