This delay was in the very first OPAL console commit 6.5 years ago, and came from the vio hvc driver. The firmware console has hardened sufficiently to remove it. Reviewed-by:

The RAW console does not need writes to be atomic, so relax opal_put_chars to be able to do partial writes, and implement an _atomic variant which does not take a spinlock. This API is used in xmon, so the less locking that is used, the better chance there is that a crash can be debugged. Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by:

OPAL console writes do not have to synchronously flush firmware / hardware buffers unless they are going through the udbg path. Remove the unconditional flushing from opal_put_chars. Flush if there was no space in the buffer as an optimisation (callers loop waiting for success in that case). udbg flushing is moved to udbg_opal_putc. Signed-off-by:

opal_put_chars deals with partial writes because in OPALv1, opal_console_write_buffer_space did not work correctly. That firmware is not supported. This reworks the opal_put_chars code to no longer deal with partial writes by turning them into full writes. Partial write handling is still supported in terms of what gets returned to the caller, but it may not go to the console atomically. A warning message is printed in this case. This allows console flushing to be moved out of the opal_write_lock spinlock. That could cause the lock to be held for long periods if the console is busy (especially if it was being spammed by firmware), which is dangerous because the lock is taken by xmon to debug the system. Flushing outside the lock improves the situation a bit. Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by:

A new console flushing firmware API was introduced to replace event polling loops, and implemented in opal-kmsg with affddff6 ("powerpc/powernv: Add a kmsg_dumper that flushes console output on panic"), to flush the console in the panic path. The OPAL console driver has other situations where interrupts are off and it needs to flush the console synchronously. These still use a polling loop. So move the opal-kmsg flush code to opal_flush_console, and use the new function in opal-kmsg and opal_put_chars. Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Reviewed-by:

Use the more refined and tested event polling loop from opal_put_chars as the fallback console flush in the opal-kmsg path. This loop is used by the console driver today, whereas the opal-kmsg fallback is not likely to have been used for years. Use WARN_ONCE rather than a printk when the fallback is invoked to prepare for moving the console flush into a common function. Reviewed-by:

The OPAL console driver does not delay in case it gets OPAL_BUSY or OPAL_BUSY_EVENT from firmware. It can't yet be made to sleep because it is called under spinlock, but it can be changed to the standard OPAL_BUSY loop form, and a delay added to keep it from hitting the firmware too frequently.

The intention here is to consume and discard the remaining buffer upon error. This works if there has not been a previous partial write. If there has been, then total_len is no longer total number of bytes to copy. total_len is always "bytes left to copy", so it should be added to written bytes. This code may not be exercised any more if partial writes will not be hit, but this is a small bugfix before a larger change. Reviewed-by:

This patch is based on the previous VMX patch on memcmp(). To optimize ppc64 memcmp() with VMX instruction, we need to think about the VMX penalty brought with: If kernel uses VMX instruction, it needs to save/restore current thread's VMX registers. There are 32 x 128 bits VMX registers in PPC, which means 32 x 16 = 512 bytes for load and store. The major concern regarding the memcmp() performance in kernel is KSM, who will use memcmp() frequently to merge identical pages. So it will make sense to take some measures/enhancement on KSM to see whether any improvement can be done here. Cyril Bur indicates that the memcmp() for KSM has a higher possibility to fail (unmatch) early in previous bytes in following mail. https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/817322/#1773629 And I am taking a follow-up on this with this patch. Per some testing, it shows KSM memcmp() will fail early at previous 32 bytes. More specifically: - 76% cases will fail/unmatch before 16 bytes; - 83% cases will fail/unmatch before 32 bytes; - 84% cases will fail/unmatch before 64 bytes; So 32 bytes looks a better choice than other bytes for pre-checking. The early failure is also true for memcmp() for non-KSM case. With a non-typical call load, it shows ~73% cases fail before first 32 bytes. This patch adds a 32 bytes pre-checking firstly before jumping into VMX operations, to avoid the unnecessary VMX penalty. It is not limited to KSM case. And the testing shows ~20% improvement on memcmp() average execution time with this patch. And note the 32B pre-checking is only performed when the compare size is long enough (>=4K currently) to allow VMX operation.

Currently memcmp() 64bytes version in powerpc will fall back to .Lshort (compare per byte mode) if either src or dst address is not 8 bytes aligned. It can be opmitized in 2 situations: 1) if both addresses are with the same offset with 8 bytes boundary: memcmp() can compare the unaligned bytes within 8 bytes boundary firstly and then compare the rest 8-bytes-aligned content with .Llong mode. 2) If src/dst addrs are not with the same offset of 8 bytes boundary: memcmp() can align src addr with 8 bytes, increment dst addr accordingly, then load src with aligned mode and load dst with unaligned mode. This patch optmizes memcmp() behavior in the above 2 situations. Tested with both little/big endian. Performance result below is based on little endian.

With SPARSEMEM config enabled, we make sure that we don't add sections beyond MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS range. This results in not building vmemmap mapping for range beyond max range. But our memblock layer looks the device tree and create mapping for the full memory range. Prevent this by checking against MAX_PHSYSMEM_BITS when doing memblock_add. We don't do similar check for memeblock_reserve_range. If reserve range is beyond MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS we expect that to be configured with 'nomap'. Any other reserved range should come from existing memblock ranges which we already filtered while adding. This avoids crash as below when running on a system with system ram config above MAX_PHSYSMEM_BITS Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xc00a001000000440 Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000001034118 cpu 0x0: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000000124fb30] pc: c000000001034118: __free_pages_bootmem+0xc0/0x1c0 lr: c00000000103b258: free_all_bootmem+0x19c/0x22c sp: c00000000124fdb0 msr: 9000000002001033 dar: c00a001000000440 dsisr: 40000000 current = 0xc00000000120dd00 paca = 0xc000000001f60000^I irqmask: 0x03^I irq_happened: 0x01 pid = 0, comm = swapper [c00000000124fe20] c00000000103b258 free_all_bootmem+0x19c/0x22c [c00000000124fee0] c000000001010a68 mem_init+0x3c/0x5c [c00000000124ff00] c00000000100401c start_kernel+0x298/0x5e4 [c00000000124ff90] c00000000000b57c start_here_common+0x1c/0x520 Signed-off-by: -

Similarly as we just did for 32-bit, add phony targets for generating a little endian and Book3E allmodconfig. These aren't covered by the regular allmodconfig, which is big endian and Book3S due to the way the Kconfig symbols are structured. Signed-off-by: -
Michael Ellerman authored
Because the allmodconfig logic just sets every symbol to M or Y, it has the effect of always generating a 64-bit config, because CONFIG_PPC64 becomes Y. So to make it easier for folks to test 32-bit code, provide a phony defconfig target that generates a 32-bit allmodconfig. The 32-bit port has several mutually exclusive CPU types, we choose the Book3S variants as that's what the help text in Kconfig says is most common. Signed-off-by: -

When I added the spectre_v2 information in sysfs, I included the availability of the ori31 speculation barrier. Although the ori31 barrier can be used to mitigate v2, it's primarily intended as a spectre v1 mitigation. Spectre v2 is mitigated by hardware changes. So rework the sysfs files to show the ori31 information in the spectre_v1 file, rather than v2. Currently we display eg: $ grep . spectre_v* spectre_v1:Mitigation: __user pointer sanitization spectre_v2:Mitigation: Indirect branch cache disabled, ori31 speculation barrier enabled After: $ grep . spectre_v* spectre_v1:Mitigation: __user pointer sanitization, ori31 speculation barrier enabled spectre_v2:Mitigation: Indirect branch cache disabled Fixes: d6fbe1c5 ("powerpc/64s: Wire up cpu_show_spectre_v2()") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.17+ Signed-off-by:

There is an asynchronous aspect to smp_send_nmi_ipi. The caller waits for all CPUs to call in to the handler, but it does not wait for completion of the handler. This is a needless complication, so remove it and always wait synchronously. The synchronous wait allows the caller to easily time out and clear the wait for completion (zero nmi_ipi_busy_count) in the case of badly behaved handlers. This would have prevented the recent smp_send_stop NMI IPI bug from causing the system to hang. Signed-off-by:

When the masked interrupt handler clears MSR[EE] for an interrupt in the PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK set, it does not set PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS. This makes them get out of synch. With that taken into account, it's only low level irq manipulation (and interrupt entry before reconcile) where they can be out of synch. This makes the code less surprising. It also allows the IRQ replay code to rely on the IRQ_HARD_DIS value and not have to mtmsrd again in this case (e.g., for an external interrupt that has been masked). The bigger benefit might just be that there is not such an element of surprise in these two bits of state. Signed-off-by:

Ram Pai authored
Applications need the ability to associate an address-range with some key and latter revert to its initial default key. Pkey-0 comes close to providing this function but falls short, because the current implementation disallows applications to explicitly associate pkey-0 to the address range. Lets make pkey-0 less special and treat it almost like any other key. Thus it can be explicitly associated with any address range, and can be freed. This gives the application more flexibility and power. The ability to free pkey-0 must be used responsibily, since pkey-0 is associated with almost all address-range by default. Even with this change pkey-0 continues to be slightly more special from the following point of view. (a) it is implicitly allocated. (b) it is the default key assigned to any address-range. (c) its permissions cannot be modified by userspace. NOTE: (c) is specific to powerpc only. pkey-0 is associated by default with all pages including kernel pages, and pkeys are also active in kernel mode. If any permission is denied on pkey-0, the kernel running in the context of the application will be unable to operate. Tested on powerpc. Signed-off-by:

execute-only key is allocated dynamically. This is a problem. When a thread implicitly creates an execute-only key, and resets the UAMOR for that key, the UAMOR value does not percolate to all the other threads. Any other thread may ignorantly change the permissions on the key. This can cause the key to be not execute-only for that thread. Preallocate the execute-only key and ensure that no thread can change the permission of the key, by resetting the corresponding bit in UAMOR.

Key allocation and deallocation has the side effect of programming the UAMOR/AMR/IAMR registers. This is wrong, since its the responsibility of the application and not that of the kernel, to modify the permission on the key. Do not modify the pkey registers at key allocation/deallocation. This patch also fixes a bug where a sys_pkey_free() resets the UAMOR bits of the key, thus making its permissions unmodifiable from user space. Later if the same key gets reallocated from a different thread this thread will no longer be able to change the permissions on the key.

Currently in a multithreaded application, a key allocated by one thread is not usable by other threads. By "not usable" we mean that other threads are unable to change the access permissions for that key for themselves. When a new key is allocated in one thread, the corresponding UAMOR bits for that thread get enabled, however the UAMOR bits for that key for all other threads remain disabled. Other threads have no way to set permissions on the key, and the current default permissions are that read/write is enabled for all keys, which means the key has no effect for other threads. Although that may be the desired behaviour in some circumstances, having all threads able to control their permissions for the key is more flexible. The current behaviour also differs from the x86 behaviour, which is problematic for users. To fix this, enable the UAMOR bits for all keys, at process creation (in start_thread(), ie exec time). Since the contents of UAMOR are inherited at fork, all threads are capable of modifying the permissions on any key. This is technically an ABI break on powerpc, but pkey support is fairly new on powerpc and not widely used, and this brings us into line with x86.
