Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman: "One notable fix for kexec on Power9, where we were not clearing MMU PID properly which sometimes leads to hangs. Finally debugged to a root cause by Nick. A revert of a patch which tried to rework our panic handling to get more output on the console, but inadvertently broke reporting the panic to the hypervisor, which apparently people care about. Then a fix for an oops in the PMU code, and finally some s/%p/%px/ in xmon.

It's a user pointer, and while the permissions of the file are pretty questionable (should it really be readable to everybody), hashing the pointer isn't going to be the solution. We should take a closer look at more of the /proc/<pid> file permissions in general. Sure, we do want many of them to often be readable (for 'ps' and friends), but I think we should probably do a few conversions from S_IRUGO to S_IRUSR.

kallsyms_symbol_next() returns a boolean (true on success). Currently kdb_read() tests the return value with an inequality that unconditionally evaluates to true.

gcc-8 warns that time() is an alias for __vdso_time() but the two have different prototypes: arch/x86/entry/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:327:5: error: 'time' alias between functions of incompatible types 'int(time_t *)' {aka 'int(long int *)'} and 'time_t(time_t *)' {aka 'long int(long int *)'} [-Werror=attribute-alias] int time(time_t *t) ^~~~ arch/x86/entry/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:318:16: note: aliased declaration here I could not figure out whether this is intentional, but I see that changing it to return time_t avoids the warning. Returning 'int' from time() is also a bit questionable, as it causes an overflow in y2038 even on 64-bit architectures that use a 64-bit time_t type. On 32-bit architecture with 64-bit time_t, time() should always be implement by the C library by calling a (to be added) clock_gettime() variant that takes a sufficiently wide argument.

Dave Martin authored
When deciding whether to invalidate FPSIMD state cached in the cpu, the backend function sve_flush_cpu_state() attempts to dereference __this_cpu_read(fpsimd_last_state). However, this is not safe: there is no guarantee that this task_struct pointer is still valid, because the task could have exited in the meantime. This means that we need another means to get the appropriate value of TIF_SVE for the associated task. This patch solves this issue by adding a cached copy of the TIF_SVE flag in fpsimd_last_state, which we can check without dereferencing the task pointer. In particular, although this patch is not a KVM fix per se, this means that this check is now done safely in the KVM world switch path (which is currently the only user of this code).

Unlike running, the runnable part can't be directly propagated through the hierarchy when we migrate a task. The main reason is that runnable time can be shared with other sched_entities that stay on the rq and this runnable time will also remain on prev cfs_rq and must not be removed. Instead, we can estimate what should be the new runnable of the prev cfs_rq and check that this estimation stay in a possible range. The prop_runnable_sum is a good estimation when adding runnable_sum but fails most often when we remove it. Instead, we could use the formula below instead: gcfs_rq's runnable_sum = gcfs_rq->avg.load_sum / gcfs_rq->load.weight which assumes that tasks are equally runnable which is not true but easy to compute. Beside these estimates, we have several simple rules that help us to filter out wrong ones: - ge->avg.runnable_sum <= than LOAD_AVG_MAX - ge->avg.runnable_sum >= ge->avg.running_sum (ge->avg.util_sum << LOAD_AVG_MAX) - ge->avg.runnable_sum can't increase when we detach a task The effect of these fixes is better cgroups balancing.

The following cleanup commit: 50816c48 ("sched/wait: Standardize internal naming of wait-queue entries") ... unintentionally changed the behavior of add_wait_queue() from inserting the wait entry at the head of the wait queue to the tail of the wait queue. Beyond a negative performance impact this change in behavior theoretically also breaks wait queues which mix exclusive and non-exclusive waiters, as non-exclusive waiters will not be woken up if they are queued behind enough exclusive waiters.

Will Deacon authored
enter_lazy_tlb is called when a kernel thread rides on the back of another mm, due to a context switch or an explicit call to unuse_mm where a call to switch_mm is elided. In these cases, it's important to keep the saved ttbr value up to date with the active mm, otherwise we can end up with a stale value which points to a potentially freed page table. This patch implements enter_lazy_tlb for arm64, so that the saved ttbr0 is kept up-to-date with the active mm for kernel threads.

update_saved_ttbr0 mandates that mm->pgd is not swapper, since swapper contains kernel mappings and should never be installed into ttbr0. However, this means that callers must avoid passing the init_mm to update_saved_ttbr0 which in turn can cause the saved ttbr0 value to be out-of-date in the context of the idle thread. For example, EFI runtime services may leave the saved ttbr0 pointing at the EFI page table, and kernel threads may end up with stale references to freed page tables. This patch changes update_saved_ttbr0 so that the init_mm points the saved ttbr0 value to the empty zero page, which always exists and never contains valid translations. EFI and switch can then call into update_saved_ttbr0 unconditionally.

There is currently some duplicate logic to associate current's FPSIMD context with the cpu when loading FPSIMD state into the cpu regs. Subsequent patches will update that logic, so in order to ensure it only needs to be done in one place, this patch factors the relevant code out into a new function fpsimd_bind_to_cpu().

Currently, loading of a task's fpsimd state into the CPU registers is skipped if that task's state is already present in the registers of that CPU. However, the code relies on the struct fpsimd_state * (and by extension struct task_struct *) to unambiguously identify a task. There is a particular case in which this doesn't work reliably: when a task exits, its task_struct may be recycled to describe a new task. Consider the following scenario: 1) Task P loads its fpsimd state onto cpu C. per_cpu(fpsimd_last_state, C) := P; P->thread.fpsimd_state.cpu := C; 2) Task X is scheduled onto C and loads its fpsimd state on C. per_cpu(fpsimd_last_state, C) := X; X->thread.fpsimd_state.cpu := C; 3) X exits, causing X's task_struct to be freed. 4) P forks a new child T, which obtains X's recycled task_struct. T == X. T->thread.fpsimd_state.cpu == C (inherited from P). 5) T is scheduled on C. T's fpsimd state is not loaded, because per_cpu(fpsimd_last_state, C) == T (== X) && T->thread.fpsimd_state.cpu == C. (This is the check performed by fpsimd_thread_switch().) So, T gets X's registers because the last registers loaded onto C were those of X, in (2). This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that the sched-in check fails in (5): fpsimd_flush_task_state(T) is called when T is forked, so that T->thread.fpsimd_state.cpu == C cannot be true. This relies on the fact that T is not schedulable until after copy_thread() completes. Once T's fpsimd state has been loaded on some CPU C there may still be other cpus D for which per_cpu(fpsimd_last_state, D) == &X->thread.fpsimd_state. But D is necessarily != C in this case, and the check in (5) must fail. An alternative fix would be to do refcounting on task_struct. This would result in each CPU holding a reference to the last task whose fpsimd state was loaded there. It's not clear whether this is preferable, and it involves higher overhead than the fix proposed in this patch. It would also move all the task_struct freeing work into the context switch critical section, or otherwise some deferred cleanup mechanism would need to be introduced, neither of which seems obviously justified.

bedata->ref can't be less than zero because it's unsigned. This affects certain error paths in probe. We first set ->ref = -1 and then we set it to a valid value later.
