On POWER9 the Nest MMU may fail to invalidate some translations when doing a tlbie "by PID" or "by LPID" that is targeted at the TLB only and not the page walk cache. This works around it by forcing such invalidations to escalate to RIC=2 (full invalidation of TLB *and* PWC) when a coprocessor is in use for the context.

Currently, when using coprocessors (which use the Nest MMU), we simply increment the active_cpu count to force all TLB invalidations to be come broadcast. Unfortunately, due to an errata in POWER9, we will need to know more specifically that coprocessors are in use. This maintains a separate copros counter in the MMU context for that purpose. NB. The commit mentioned in the fixes tag below is not at fault for the bug we're fixing in this commit and the next, but this fix applies on top the infrastructure it introduced.

force_external_irq_replay() can be called in the do_IRQ path with interrupts hard enabled and soft disabled if may_hard_irq_enable() set MSR[EE]=1. It updates local_paca->irq_happened with a load, modify, store sequence. If a maskable interrupt hits during this sequence, it will go to the masked handler to be marked pending in irq_happened. This update will be lost when the interrupt returns and the store instruction executes. This can result in unpredictable latencies, timeouts, lockups, etc. Fix this by ensuring hard interrupts are disabled before modifying irq_happened. This could cause any maskable asynchronous interrupt to get lost, but it was noticed on P9 SMP system doing RDMA NVMe target over 100GbE, so very high external interrupt rate and high IPI rate. The hang was bisected down to enabling doorbell interrupts for IPIs. These provided an interrupt type that could run at high rates in the do_IRQ path, stressing the race.

When running virtualised the powerpc kernel is able to run the system in "compat mode" - which means the kernel and hardware are pretending to userspace that the CPU is an older version than it actually is. AT_BASE_PLATFORM is an AUXV entry that we export to userspace for use when we're running in that mode, which tells userspace the "platform" string for the real CPU version, as opposed to the faked version. Although we don't support compat mode when using DT CPU features, and arguably don't need to set AT_BASE_PLATFORM, the existing cputable based code always sets it even when we're running bare metal. That means the lack of AT_BASE_PLATFORM is a user-visible artifact of the fact that the kernel is using DT CPU features, which we don't want. So set it in the DT CPU features code also. This results in eg: $ LD_SHOW_AUXV=1 /bin/true | grep "AT_.*PLATFORM" AT_PLATFORM: power9 AT_BASE_PLATFORM:power9 Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Reviewed-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>

With ibm,dynamic-memory-v2 and ibm,drc-info coming around the same time, byte22 in vector5 of ibm architecture vector table got set twice separately. The end result is that guest kernel isn't advertising support for ibm,dynamic-memory-v2. Fix this by removing the duplicate assignment of byte22.

The subpage_prot syscall is only functional when the system is using the Hash MMU. Since commit 5b2b8071 ("powerpc/mm: Invalidate subpage_prot() system call on radix platforms") it returns ENOENT when the Radix MMU is active. Currently this just makes the test fail. Additionally the syscall is not available if the kernel is built with 4K pages, or if CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT=n, in which case it returns ENOSYS because the syscall is missing entirely. So check explicitly for ENOENT and ENOSYS and skip if we see either of those. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

The tm-resched-dscr test links against pmu/lib.o, but we don't have a rule to clean pmu/lib.o. This can lead to a build break if you build for big endian and then little, or vice versa.

Memory addtion and removal by count and indexed-count methods temporarily mark the LMBs that are being added/removed by a special flag value DRMEM_LMB_RESERVED. Accessing flags value directly at a few places without proper accessor method is causing two unexpected side-effects: - DRMEM_LMB_RESERVED bit is becoming part of the flags word of drconf_cell_v2 entries in ibm,dynamic-memory-v2 DT property. - This results in extra drconf_cell entries in ibm,dynamic-memory-v2. For example if 1G memory is added, it leads to one entry for 3 LMBs and 1 separate entry for the last LMB. All the 4 LMBs should be defined by one entry here. Fix this by always accessing the flags by its accessor method drmem_lmb_flags().

This reverts commit 02ef6dd8. The earlier patch tried to enable support for a new property "ibm,drc-info" on powerpc systems. Unfortunately, some errors in the associated patch set break things in some of the DLPAR operations. In particular when attempting to hot-add a new CPU or set of CPUs, the original patch failed to properly calculate the available resources, and aborted the operation. In addition, the original set missed several opportunities to compress and reuse common code. As the associated patch set was meant to provide an optimization of storage and performance of a set of device-tree properties for future systems with large amounts of resources, reverting just restores the previous behavior for existing systems. It seems unnecessary to enable this feature and introduce the consequent problems in the field that it will cause at this time, so please revert it for now until testing of the corrections are finished properly.

We had a mid-air collision between two new firmware features, DRMEM_V2 and DRC_INFO, and they ended up with the same value. No one's actually reported any problems, presumably because the new firmware that supports both properties is not widely available, and the two properties tend to be enabled together. Still if we ever had one enabled but not the other, the bugs that could result are many and varied. So fix it.

Commit fd8aa909 ("xen: optimize xenbus driver for multiple concurrent xenstore accesses") optimized xenbus concurrent accesses but in doing so broke UABI of /dev/xen/xenbus. Through /dev/xen/xenbus applications are in charge of xenbus message exchange with the correct header and body. Now, after the mentioned commit the replies received by application will no longer have the header req_id echoed back as it was on request (see specification below for reference), because that particular field is being overwritten by kernel. struct xsd_sockmsg { uint32_t type; /* XS_??? */ uint32_t req_id;/* Request identifier, echoed in daemon's response. */ uint32_t tx_id; /* Transaction id (0 if not related to a transaction). */ uint32_t len; /* Length of data following this. */ /* Generally followed by nul-terminated string(s). */ }; Before there was only one request at a time so req_id could simply be forwarded back and forth. To allow simultaneous requests we need a different req_id for each message thus kernel keeps a monotonic increasing counter for this field and is written on every request irrespective of userspace value. Forwarding again the req_id on userspace requests is not a solution because we would open the possibility of userspace-generated req_id colliding with kernel ones. So this patch instead takes another route which is to artificially keep user req_id while keeping the xenbus logic as is. We do that by saving the original req_id before xs_send(), use the private kernel counter as req_id and then once reply comes and was validated, we restore back the original req_id.

In many cases, page tables can be accessed concurrently by either another CPU (due to things like fast gup) or by the hardware page table walker itself, which may set access/dirty bits. In such cases, it is important to use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE when accessing page table entries so that entries cannot be torn, merged or subject to apparent loss of coherence due to compiler transformations. Whilst there are some scenarios where this cannot happen (e.g. pinned kernel mappings for the linear region), the overhead of using READ_ONCE /WRITE_ONCE everywhere is minimal and makes the code an awful lot easier to reason about. This patch consistently uses these macros in the arch code, as well as explicitly namespacing pointers to page table entries from the entries themselves by using adopting a 'p' suffix for the former (as is sometimes used elsewhere in the kernel source).

We get a warning about some slow configurations in randconfig kernels: mm/memory.c:83:2: error: #warning Unfortunate NUMA and NUMA Balancing config, growing page-frame for last_cpupid. [-Werror=cpp] The warning is reasonable by itself, but gets in the way of randconfig build testing, so I'm hiding it whenever CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST is set. The warning was added in 2013 in commit 75980e97 ("mm: fold page->_last_nid into page->flags where possible").
