<id>a67ae75802f178b0b790f1cd7f9c2954a85707fa</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch enables support for Performance monitor registers related
ELF core note NT_PPC_PMU based ptrace requests through
PTRACE_GETREGSET, PTRACE_SETREGSET calls. This is achieved
through adding one new register sets REGSET_PMU in powerpc
corresponding to the ELF core note sections added in this
regard. It also implements the get, set and active functions
for this new register sets added.

<title>powerpc: scan_features() updates incorrect bits for REAL_LE</title>
<updated>2016-04-18T10:08:38+00:00</updated>

<name>Anton Blanchard</name>

<published>2016-04-15T02:06:13+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=6997e57d693b07289694239e52a10d2f02c3a46f'/>
<id>6997e57d693b07289694239e52a10d2f02c3a46f</id>
<content type='text'>
The REAL_LE feature entry in the ibm_pa_feature struct is missing an MMU
feature value, meaning all the remaining elements initialise the wrong
values.

This means instead of checking for byte 5, bit 0, we check for byte 0,
bit 0, and then we incorrectly set the CPU feature bit as well as MMU
feature bit 1 and CPU user feature bits 0 and 2 (5).

Checking byte 0 bit 0 (IBM numbering), means we're looking at the
"Memory Management Unit (MMU)" feature - ie. does the CPU have an MMU.
In practice that bit is set on all platforms which have the property.

This means we set CPU_FTR_REAL_LE always. In practice that seems not to
matter because all the modern cpus which have this property also
implement REAL_LE, and we've never needed to disable it.

We're also incorrectly setting MMU feature bit 1, which is:

  #define MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx		0x00000002

Luckily the only place that looks for MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx is in Book3E
code, which can't run on the same cpus as scan_features(). So this also
doesn't matter in practice.

Finally in the CPU user feature mask, we're setting bits 0 and 2. Bit 2
is not currently used, and bit 0 is:

  #define PPC_FEATURE_PPC_LE		0x00000001

Which says the CPU supports the old style "PPC Little Endian" mode.
Again this should be harmless in practice as no 64-bit CPUs implement
that mode.

Fix the code by adding the missing initialisation of the MMU feature.

Also add a comment marking CPU user feature bit 2 (0x4) as reserved. It
would be unsafe to start using it as old kernels incorrectly set it.

The REAL_LE feature entry in the ibm_pa_feature struct is missing an MMU
feature value, meaning all the remaining elements initialise the wrong
values.

This means instead of checking for byte 5, bit 0, we check for byte 0,
bit 0, and then we incorrectly set the CPU feature bit as well as MMU
feature bit 1 and CPU user feature bits 0 and 2 (5).

Checking byte 0 bit 0 (IBM numbering), means we're looking at the
"Memory Management Unit (MMU)" feature - ie. does the CPU have an MMU.
In practice that bit is set on all platforms which have the property.

This means we set CPU_FTR_REAL_LE always. In practice that seems not to
matter because all the modern cpus which have this property also
implement REAL_LE, and we've never needed to disable it.

We're also incorrectly setting MMU feature bit 1, which is:

  #define MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx		0x00000002

Luckily the only place that looks for MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx is in Book3E
code, which can't run on the same cpus as scan_features(). So this also
doesn't matter in practice.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "This was delayed a day or two by some build-breakage on old toolchains
  which we've now fixed.

  There's two PCI commits both acked by Bjorn.

  There's one commit to mm/hugepage.c which is (co)authored by Kirill.

  Highlights:
   - Restructure Linux PTE on Book3S/64 to Radix format from Paul
     Mackerras
   - Book3s 64 MMU cleanup in preparation for Radix MMU from Aneesh
