Hypervisor maintenance interrupts (HMIs) are generated by various causes, signalled by bits in the hypervisor maintenance exception register (HMER). In most cases calling OPAL to handle the interrupt is the correct thing to do, but the "debug trigger" HMIs signalled by PPC bit 17 (bit 46) of HMER are used to invoke software workarounds for hardware bugs, and OPAL does not have any code to handle this cause. The debug trigger HMI is used in POWER9 DD2.0 and DD2.1 chips to work around a hardware bug in executing vector load instructions to cache inhibited memory. In POWER9 DD2.2 chips, it is generated when conditions are detected relating to threads being in TM (transactional memory) suspended mode when the core SMT configuration needs to be reconfigured. The kernel currently has code to detect the vector CI load condition, but only when the HMI occurs in the host, not when it occurs in a guest. If a HMI occurs in the guest, it is always passed to OPAL, and then we always re-sync the timebase, because the HMI cause might have been a timebase error, for which OPAL would re-sync the timebase, thus removing the timebase offset which KVM applied for the guest. Since we don't know what OPAL did, we don't know whether to subtract the timebase offset from the timebase, so instead we re-sync the timebase. This adds code to determine explicitly what the cause of a debug trigger HMI will be. This is based on a new device-tree property under the CPU nodes called ibm,hmi-special-triggers, if it is present, or otherwise based on the PVR (processor version register). The handling of debug trigger HMIs is pulled out into a separate function which can be called from the KVM guest exit code. If this function handles and clears the HMI, and no other HMI causes remain, then we skip calling OPAL and we proceed to subtract the guest timebase offset from the timebase. The overall handling for HMIs that occur in the host (i.e. not in a KVM guest) is largely unchanged, except that we now don't set the flag for the vector CI load workaround on DD2.2 processors. This also removes a BUG_ON in the KVM code. BUG_ON is generally not useful in KVM guest entry/exit code since it is difficult to handle the resulting trap gracefully.

POWER9 chip versions starting with "Nimbus" v2.2 can support running with some threads of a core in HPT mode and others in radix mode. This means that we don't have to prohibit independent-threads mode when running a HPT guest on a radix host, and we don't have to do any of the synchronization between threads that was introduced in commit c0101509 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Run HPT guests on POWER9 radix hosts", 2017-10-19). Rather than using up another CPU feature bit, we just do an explicit test on the PVR (processor version register) at module startup time to determine whether we have to take steps to avoid having some threads in HPT mode and some in radix mode (so-called "mixed mode"). We test for "Nimbus" (indicated by 0 or 1 in the top nibble of the lower 16 bits) v2.2 or later, or "Cumulus" (indicated by 2 or 3 in that nibble) v1.1 or later.

This moves the code that loads and unloads the guest SLB values so that it is done while the guest LPCR value is loaded in the LPCR register. The reason for doing this is that on POWER9, the behaviour of the slbmte instruction depends on the LPCR[UPRT] bit. If UPRT is 1, as it is for a radix host (or guest), the SLB index is truncated to 2 bits. This means that for a HPT guest on a radix host, the SLB was not being loaded correctly, causing the guest to crash. The SLB is now loaded much later in the guest entry path, after the LPCR is loaded, which for a secondary thread is after it sees that the primary thread has switched the MMU to the guest. The loop that waits for the primary thread has a branch out to the exit code that is taken if it sees that other threads have commenced exiting the guest. Since we have now not loaded the SLB at this point, we make this path branch to a new label 'guest_bypass' and we move the SLB unload code to before this label.

This fixes a bug where it is possible to enter a guest on a POWER9 system without having the XIVE (interrupt controller) context loaded. This can happen because we unload the XIVE context from the CPU before doing the real-mode handling for machine checks. After the real-mode handler runs, it is possible that we re-enter the guest via a fast path which does not load the XIVE context. To fix this, we move the unloading of the XIVE context to come after the real-mode machine check handler is called. Fixes: 5af50993 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Native usage of the XIVE interrupt controller") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.11+ Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

This adds a register identifier for use with the one_reg interface to allow the decrementer expiry time to be read and written by userspace. The decrementer expiry time is in guest timebase units and is equal to the sum of the decrementer and the guest timebase. (The expiry time is used rather than the decrementer value itself because the expiry time is not constantly changing, though the decrementer value is, while the guest vcpu is not running.) Without this, a guest vcpu migrated to a new host will see its decrementer set to some random value. On POWER8 and earlier, the decrementer is 32 bits wide and counts down at 512MHz, so the guest vcpu will potentially see no decrementer interrupts for up to about 4 seconds, which will lead to a stall. With POWER9, the decrementer is now 56 bits side, so the stall can be much longer (up to 2.23 years) and more noticeable. To help work around the problem in cases where userspace has not been updated to migrate the decrementer expiry time, we now set the default decrementer expiry at vcpu creation time to the current time rather than the maximum possible value. This should mean an immediate decrementer interrupt when a migrated vcpu starts running. In cases where the decrementer is 32 bits wide and more than 4 seconds elapse between the creation of the vcpu and when it first runs, the decrementer would have wrapped around to positive values and there may still be a stall - but this is no worse than the current situation. In the large-decrementer case, we are sure to get an immediate decrementer interrupt (assuming the time from vcpu creation to first run is less than 2.23 years) and we thus avoid a very long stall.

The fpsimd_update_current_state() function is responsible for loading the FPSIMD state from the user signal frame into the current task during sigreturn. When implementing support for SVE, conditional code was added to this function in order to handle the case where SVE state need to be loaded for the task and merged with the FPSIMD data from the signal frame; however, the FPSIMD-only case was unintentionally dropped. As a result of this, sigreturn does not currently restore the FPSIMD state of the task, except in the case where the system supports SVE and the signal frame contains SVE state in addition to FPSIMD state. This patch fixes this bug by making the copy-in of the FPSIMD data from the signal frame to thread_struct unconditional. This remains a performance regression from v4.14, since the FPSIMD state is now copied into thread_struct and then loaded back, instead of _only_ being loaded into the CPU FPSIMD registers. However, it is essential to call task_fpsimd_load() here anyway in order to ensure that the SVE enable bit in CPACR_EL1 is set correctly before returning to userspace. This could use some refactoring, but since sigreturn is not a fast path I have kept this patch as a pure fix and left the refactoring for later.

When building the arm64 kernel with both CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS and CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE enabled, the ftrace-mod.o object file is built with the kernel and contains a trampoline that is linked into each module, so that modules can be loaded far away from the kernel and still reach the ftrace entry point in the core kernel with an ordinary relative branch, as is emitted by the compiler instrumentation code dynamic ftrace relies on. In order to be able to build out of tree modules, this object file needs to be included into the linux-headers or linux-devel packages, which is undesirable, as it makes arm64 a special case (although a precedent does exist for 32-bit PPC). Given that the trampoline essentially consists of a PLT entry, let's not bother with a source or object file for it, and simply patch it in whenever the trampoline is being populated, using the existing PLT support routines.

To allow the ftrace trampoline code to reuse the PLT entry routines, factor it out and move it into asm/module.h. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

When an AFS inode is allocated by afs_alloc_inode(), the allocated afs_vnode struct isn't necessarily reset from the last time it was used as an inode because the slab constructor is only invoked once when the memory is obtained from the page allocator. This means that information can leak from one inode to the next because we're not calling kmem_cache_zalloc(). Some of the information isn't reset, in particular the permit cache pointer. Bring the clearances up to date. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Tested-by: Marc Dionne <marc.dionne@auristor.com>
