powerpc: Fix stack overflow crash in resume_kernel when ftracing

2013-06-20T18:58:47+00:00

commit 0e37739b1c96d65e6433998454985de994383019 upstream.

It's possible for us to crash when running with ftrace enabled, eg:

  Bad kernel stack pointer bffffd12 at c00000000000a454
  cpu 0x3: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000000ffe3d40]

     msr: 8000000000001032
     dar: bffffd12
   dsisr: 42000000

If we look at current's stack (paca->__current->stack) we see it is
equal to c0000002ecab0000. Our stack is 16K, and comparing to
paca->kstack (c0000002ecab3e30) we can see that we have overflowed our
kernel stack. This leads to us writing over our struct thread_info, and
in this case we have corrupted thread_info->flags and set
_TIF_EMULATE_STACK_STORE.

Dumping the stack we see:

  ... and so on

__ppc64_runlatch_on() is called from RUNLATCH_ON in the exception entry
path. At that point the irq state is not consistent, ie. interrupts are
hard disabled (by the exception entry), but the paca soft-enabled flag
may be out of sync.

This leads to the local_irq_restore() in trace_graph_entry() actually
enabling interrupts, which we do not want. Because we have not yet
reprogrammed the decrementer we immediately take another decrementer
exception, and recurse.

The fix is twofold. Firstly make sure we call DISABLE_INTS before
calling RUNLATCH_ON. The badly named DISABLE_INTS actually reconciles
the irq state in the paca with the hardware, making it safe again to
call local_irq_save/restore().

Although that should be sufficient to fix the bug, we also mark the
runlatch routines as notrace. They are called very early in the
exception entry and we are asking for trouble tracing them. They are
also fairly uninteresting and tracing them just adds unnecessary
overhead.

powerpc: Bring all threads online prior to migration/hibernation

2013-05-19T17:54:40+00:00

commit 120496ac2d2d60aee68d3123a68169502a85f4b5 upstream.

This patch brings online all threads which are present but not online
prior to migration/hibernation.  After migration/hibernation those
threads are taken back offline.

During migration/hibernation all online CPUs must call H_JOIN, this is
required by the hypervisor.  Without this patch, threads that are offline
(H_CEDE'd) will not be woken to make the H_JOIN call and the OS will be
deadlocked (all threads either JOIN'd or CEDE'd).

powerpc: Emulate non privileged DSCR read and write

2013-05-11T20:48:05+00:00

commit 73d2fb758e678c93bc76d40876c2359f0729b0ef upstream.

POWER8 allows read and write of the DSCR in userspace. We added
kernel emulation so applications could always use the instructions
regardless of the CPU type.

Unfortunately there are two SPRs for the DSCR and we only added
emulation for the privileged one. Add code to match the non
privileged one.

A simple test was created to verify the fix:

Without the patch we get a SIGILL and it passes with the patch.

signal: Define __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER so we know whether to clear sa_restorer

2013-04-05T17:04:14+00:00

Vaguely based on upstream commit 574c4866e33d 'consolidate kernel-side
struct sigaction declarations'.

flush_signal_handlers() needs to know whether sigaction::sa_restorer
is defined, not whether SA_RESTORER is defined.  Define the
__ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER macro to indicate this.

powerpc/eeh: Fix crash on converting OF node to edev

2012-10-12T20:38:39+00:00

commit 1e38b7140185e384da216aff66a711df09b5afc9 upstream.

The kernel crash was reported by Alexy. He was testing some feature
with private kernel, in which Alexy added some code in pci_pm_reset()
to read the CSR after writting it. The bug could be reproduced on
Fiber Channel card (Fibre Channel: Emulex Corporation Saturn-X:
LightPulse Fibre Channel Host Adapter (rev 03)) by the following
commands.

	# echo 1 > /sys/devices/pci0004:01/0004:01:00.0/reset
	# rmmod lpfc
	# modprobe lpfc

The history behind the test case is that those additional config
space reading operations in pci_pm_reset() would cause EEH error,
but we didn't detect EEH error until "modprobe lpfc". For the case,
all the PCI devices on PCI bus (0004:01) were removed and added after
PE reset. Then the EEH devices would be figured out again based on
the OF nodes. Unfortunately, there were some child OF nodes under
PCI device (0004:01:00.0), but they didn't have attached PCI_DN since
they're invisible from PCI domain. However, we were still trying to
convert OF node to EEH device without checking on the attached PCI_DN.
Eventually, it caused the kernel crash as follows:

The patch changes of_node_to_eeh_dev() and just returns NULL if the
passed OF node doesn't have attached PCI_DN.

commit 21b2de341270bd7bb7a811027ffe63276d9b3b75 upstream.

There was a typo, checking for CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAG instead of
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS causing some useful debug code to not be
built

This in turns causes a build error on BookE 64-bit due to incorrect
semicolons at the end of a couple of macros, so let's fix that too

powerpc: More fixes for lazy IRQ vs. idle

2012-07-16T16:03:49+00:00

commit be2cf20a5ad31ebb13562c1c866ecc626fbd721e upstream.

Looks like we still have issues with pSeries and Cell idle code
vs. the lazy irq state. In fact, the reset fixes that went upstream
are exposing the problem more by causing BUG_ON() to trigger (which
this patch turns into a WARN_ON instead).

We need to be careful when using a variant of low power state that
has the side effect of turning interrupts back on, to properly set
all the SW & lazy state to look as if everything is enabled before
we enter the low power state with MSR:EE off as we will return with
MSR:EE on. If not, we have a discrepancy of state which can cause
things to go very wrong later on.

This patch moves the logic into a helper and uses it from the
pseries and cell idle code. The power4/970 idle code already got
things right (in assembly even !) so I'm not touching it. The power7
"bare metal" idle code is subtly different and correct. Remains PA6T
and some hypervisor based Cell platforms which have questionable
code in there, but they are mostly dead platforms so I'll fix them
when I manage to get final answers from the respective maintainers
about how the low power state actually works on them.

powerpc: check_and_cede_processor() never cedes

2012-07-16T16:03:21+00:00

commit 0b17ba7258db83cd02da560884e053b85de371f2 upstream.

Commit f948501b36c6 ("Make hard_irq_disable() actually hard-disable
interrupts") caused check_and_cede_processor to stop working.
->irq_happened will never be zero right after a hard_irq_disable
so the compiler removes the call to cede_processor completely.

The bug was introduced back in the lazy interrupt handling rework
of 3.4 but was hidden until recently because hard_irq_disable did
nothing.

This issue will eventually appear in 3.4 stable since the
hard_irq_disable fix is marked stable, so mark this one for stable
too.

Make hard_irq_disable() actually hard-disable interrupts

2012-06-22T18:36:57+00:00

commit f948501b36c6b3d9352ce212a197098a7e958971 upstream.

At present, hard_irq_disable() does nothing on powerpc because of
this code in include/linux/interrupt.h:

    #ifndef hard_irq_disable
    #define hard_irq_disable()      do { } while(0)
    #endif

So we need to make our hard_irq_disable be a macro.  It was previously
a macro until commit 7230c56441 ("powerpc: Rework lazy-interrupt
handling") changed it to a static inline function.
