When calling RTAS, the stack pointer is stored in SPRN_SPRG2 in order to be able to restore it in case of machine check in RTAS. As machine check is not a perfomance critical path, this patch frees SPRN_SPRG2 by using a field in thread struct instead.

Commit 24be85a2 ("powerpc/powernv: Clear PECE1 in LPCR via stop-api only on Hotplug", 2017-07-21) added two calls to opal_slw_set_reg() inside pnv_cpu_offline(), with the aim of changing the LPCR value in the SLW image to disable wakeups from the decrementer while a CPU is offline. However, pnv_cpu_offline() gets called each time a secondary CPU thread is woken up to participate in running a KVM guest, that is, not just when a CPU is offlined. Since opal_slw_set_reg() is a very slow operation (with observed execution times around 20 milliseconds), this means that an offline secondary CPU can often be busy doing the opal_slw_set_reg() call when the primary CPU wants to grab all the secondary threads so that it can run a KVM guest. This leads to messages like "KVM: couldn't grab CPU n" being printed and guest execution failing. There is no need to reprogram the SLW image on every KVM guest entry and exit. So that we do it only when a CPU is really transitioning between online and offline, this moves the calls to pnv_program_cpu_hotplug_lpcr() into pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self().

In cpufeatures_process_feature(), if a provided CPU feature is unknown and enable_unknown is false, we erroneously print that the feature is being enabled and return true, even though no feature has been enabled, and may also set feature bits based on the last entry in the match table. Fix this so that we only set feature bits from the match table if we have actually enabled a feature from that table, and when failing to enable an unknown feature, always print the "not enabling" message and return false. Coincidentally, some older gccs (<GCC 7), when invoked with -fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc, cause a spurious uninitialised variable warning in this function: arch/powerpc/kernel/dt_cpu_ftrs.c: In function ‘cpufeatures_process_feature’: arch/powerpc/kernel/dt_cpu_ftrs.c:686:7: warning: ‘m’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] if (m->cpu_ftr_bit_mask) An upcoming patch will enable support for kcov, which requires this option.

The xmon debugger IPI handler waits in the callback function while xmon is still active. This means they don't complete the IPI, and the initiator always times out waiting for them. Things manage to work after the timeout because there is some fallback logic to keep NMI IPI state sane in case of the timeout, but this is a bit ugly. This patch changes NMI IPI back to half-asynchronous (i.e., wait for everyone to call in, do not wait for IPI function to complete), but the complexity is avoided by going one step further and allowing new IPIs to be issued before the IPI functions to all complete. If synchronization against that is required, it is left up to the caller, but current callers don't require that. In fact with the timeout handling, callers must be able to cope with this already.

In commit 7820856a ("powerpc/mm/book3e/64: Remove unsupported 64Kpage size from 64bit booke") we dropped the 64K page size support from the 64-bit nohash (Book3E) code. But we didn't update the dependencies of the PPC_64K_PAGES option, meaning a randconfig can still trigger this code and cause a build breakage, eg: arch/powerpc/include/asm/nohash/64/pgtable.h:14:2: error: #error "Page size not supported" arch/powerpc/include/asm/nohash/mmu-book3e.h:275:2: error: #error Unsupported page size So remove PPC_BOOK3E_64 from the dependencies. This also means we don't need to worry about PPC_FSL_BOOK3E, because that was just trying to prevent the PPC_BOOK3E_64=y && PPC_FSL_BOOK3E=y case. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Commit 8792468d "powerpc: Add the ability to save FPU without giving it up" unexpectedly removed the MSR_FE0 and MSR_FE1 bits from the bitmask used to update the MSR of the previous thread in __giveup_fpu() causing a KVM-PR MacOS guest to lockup and panic the host kernel. Leaving FE0/1 enabled means unrelated processes might receive FPEs when they're not expecting them and crash. In particular if this happens to init the host will then panic. eg (transcribed): qemu-system-ppc[837]: unhandled signal 8 at 12cc9ce4 nip 12cc9ce4 lr 12cc9ca4 code 0 systemd[1]: unhandled signal 8 at 202f02e0 nip 202f02e0 lr 001003d4 code 0 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b Reinstate these bits to the MSR bitmask to enable MacOS guests to run under 32-bit KVM-PR once again without issue.

The Processor Utilzation of Resource Registers (PURR) provide an estimate of resources used by a cpu thread. Section 7.6 in Book III of the ISA outlines how to calculate the percentage of shared resources for threads using the ratio of the PURR delta and Timebase Register delta for a sampled period. This calculation is currently done erroneously by the lparstat tool from the powerpc-utils package. This patch exports the current timebase value after we sample the PURRs and exposes it to userspace accounting tools via /proc/ppc64/lparcfg.

The recent rework of PCI kconfig symbols exposed an existing bug in the CURRITUCK kconfig logic. It selects PPC4xx_PCI_EXPRESS which depends on PCI, but PCI is user selectable and might be disabled, leading to a warning: WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for PPC4xx_PCI_EXPRESS Depends on [n]: PCI [=n] && 4xx [=y] Selected by [y]: - CURRITUCK [=y] && PPC_47x [=y] Prior to commit eb01d42a ("PCI: consolidate PCI config entry in drivers/pci") PCI was enabled by default for currituck_defconfig so we didn't see the warning. The bad logic was still there, it just required someone disabling PCI in their .config to hit it. Fix it by forcing PCI on for CURRITUCK, which seems was always the expectation anyway.

The EEH address cache is used to map a physical MMIO address back to a PCI device. It's useful to know when it's being manipulated, but currently this requires recompiling with #define DEBUG set.

This patch updates the kernel non-linear virtual map to 512TB when we're built with 64K page size and are using the hash MMU. We allocate one context for the vmalloc region and hence the max virtual area size is limited by the context map size (512TB for 64K and 64TB for 4K page size). This patch fixes boot failures with large amounts of system RAM where we need large vmalloc space to handle per cpu allocations.

GCC 8 warns about the logic in vr_get/set(), which with -Werror breaks the build: In function ‘user_regset_copyin’, inlined from ‘vr_set’ at arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:628:9: include/linux/regset.h:295:4: error: ‘memcpy’ offset [-527, -529] is out of the bounds [0, 16] of object ‘vrsave’ with type ‘union <anonymous>’ [-Werror=array-bounds] arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c: In function ‘vr_set’: arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:623:5: note: ‘vrsave’ declared here } vrsave; This has been identified as a regression in GCC, see GCC bug 88273. However we can avoid the warning and also simplify the logic and make it more robust. Currently we pass -1 as end_pos to user_regset_copyout(). This says "copy up to the end of the regset". The definition of the regset is: [REGSET_VMX] = { .core_note_type = NT_PPC_VMX, .n = 34, .size = sizeof(vector128), .align = sizeof(vector128), .active = vr_active, .get = vr_get, .set = vr_set }, The end is calculated as (n * size), ie. 34 * sizeof(vector128). In vr_get/set() we pass start_pos as 33 * sizeof(vector128), meaning we can copy up to sizeof(vector128) into/out-of vrsave. The on-stack vrsave is defined as: union { elf_vrreg_t reg; u32 word; } vrsave; And elf_vrreg_t is: typedef __vector128 elf_vrreg_t; So there is no bug, but we rely on all those sizes lining up, otherwise we would have a kernel stack exposure/overwrite on our hands. Rather than relying on that we can pass an explict end_pos based on the sizeof(vrsave). The result should be exactly the same but it's more obviously not over-reading/writing the stack and it avoids the compiler warning.

The change_pte() notifier was designed to use as a quick path to update secondary MMU PTEs on write permission changes or PFN changes. For KVM, it could reduce the vm-exits when vcpu faults on the pages that was touched up by KSM. It's not used to do cache invalidations, for example, if we see the notifier will be called before the real PTE update after all (please see set_pte_at_notify that set_pte_at was called later). All the necessary cache invalidation should all be done in invalidate_range() already.

This makes the handling of machine check interrupts that occur inside a guest simpler and more robust, with less done in assembler code and in real mode. Now, when a machine check occurs inside a guest, we always get the machine check event struct and put a copy in the vcpu struct for the vcpu where the machine check occurred. We no longer call machine_check_queue_event() from kvmppc_realmode_mc_power7(), because on POWER8, when a vcpu is running on an offline secondary thread and we call machine_check_queue_event(), that calls irq_work_queue(), which doesn't work because the CPU is offline, but instead triggers the WARN_ON(lazy_irq_pending()) in pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self() (which fires again and again because nothing clears the condition). All that machine_check_queue_event() actually does is to cause the event to be printed to the console. For a machine check occurring in the guest, we now print the event in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() instead. The assembly code at label machine_check_realmode now just calls C code and then continues exiting the guest. We no longer either synthesize a machine check for the guest in assembly code or return to the guest without a machine check. The code in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() is extended to handle the case where the guest is not FWNMI-capable. In that case we now always synthesize a machine check interrupt for the guest. Previously, if the host thinks it has recovered the machine check fully, it would return to the guest without any notification that the machine check had occurred. If the machine check was caused by some action of the guest (such as creating duplicate SLB entries), it is much better to tell the guest that it has caused a problem. Therefore we now always generate a machine check interrupt for guests that are not FWNMI-capable.

kvmhv_p9_guest_entry() implements a fast-path guest entry for Power9 when guest and host are both running with the Radix MMU. Currently in that path we don't save the host AMR (Authority Mask Register) value, and we always restore 0 on return to the host. That is OK at the moment because the AMR is not used for storage keys with the Radix MMU. However we plan to start using the AMR on Radix to prevent the kernel from reading/writing to userspace outside of copy_to/from_user(). In order to make that work we need to save/restore the AMR value. We only restore the value if it is different from the guest value, which is already in the register when we exit to the host. This should mean we rarely need to actually restore the value when running a modern Linux as a guest, because it will be using the same value as us.
