The ultravisor will do an integrity check of the kernel image but we
relocated it so the check will fail. Restore the original image by
relocating it back to the kernel virtual base address.

This works because during build vmlinux is linked with an expected
virtual runtime address of KERNELBASE.

Make sure starting addr is aligned to segment boundary so that when
incrementing the segment, the starting address of the new segment is
below the end address. Otherwise the last segment might get  missed.

After merging the powerpc tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc64
allnoconfig) failed like this:

 arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/pgtable.c:216:3:
 error: implicit declaration of function 'radix__flush_all_lpid_guest'

radix__flush_all_lpid_guest() is only declared for
CONFIG_PPC_RADIX_MMU which is not set for this build.

Fix it by adding an empty version for the RADIX_MMU=n case, which
should never be called.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
 "An assortment of fixes that were either missed by me, or didn't arrive
  quite in time for the first v5.4 pull.

   - Most notable is a fix for an issue with tlbie (broadcast TLB
     invalidation) on Power9, when using the Radix MMU. The tlbie can
     race with an mtpid (move to PID register, essentially MMU context
     switch) on another thread of the core, which can cause stores to
     continue to go to a page after it's unmapped.

   - A fix in our KVM code to add a missing barrier, the lack of which
     has been observed to cause missed IPIs and subsequently stuck CPUs
     in the host.

   - A change to the way we initialise PCR (Processor Compatibility
     Register) to make it forward compatible with future CPUs.

   - On some older PowerVM systems our H_BLOCK_REMOVE support could
     oops, fix it to detect such systems and fallback to the old
     invalidation method.

   - A fix for an oops seen on some machines when using KASAN on 32-bit.

   - A handful of other minor fixes, and two new selftests.

Both pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init() are used to initialize kmem
cache for page table allocations on several architectures that do not use
PAGE_SIZE tables for one or more levels of the page table hierarchy.

Most architectures do not implement these functions and use __weak default
NOP implementation of pgd_cache_init().  Since there is no such default
for pgtable_cache_init(), its empty stub is duplicated among most
architectures.

Rename the definitions of pgd_cache_init() to pgtable_cache_init() and
drop empty stubs of pgtable_cache_init().

<id>13224794cb0832caa403ad583d8605202cabc6bc</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.

Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.

In later patch, we want to use hash_transparent_hugepage() in a kernel module.
Export two related functions.

<title>powerpc/mm: Fixup tlbie vs mtpidr/mtlpidr ordering issue on POWER9</title>

On POWER9, under some circumstances, a broadcast TLB invalidation will
fail to invalidate the ERAT cache on some threads when there are
parallel mtpidr/mtlpidr happening on other threads of the same core.
This can cause stores to continue to go to a page after it's unmapped.

The workaround is to force an ERAT flush using PID=0 or LPID=0 tlbie
flush. This additional TLB flush will cause the ERAT cache
invalidation. Since we are using PID=0 or LPID=0, we don't get
filtered out by the TLB snoop filtering logic.

We need to still follow this up with another tlbie to take care of
store vs tlbie ordering issue explained in commit:
a5d4b5891c2f ("powerpc/mm: Fixup tlbie vs store ordering issue on
POWER9"). The presence of ERAT cache implies we can still get new
stores and they may miss store queue marking flush.
