[ Upstream commit 32b53c012e0bfe20b2745962a89db0dc72ef3270 ]

Memory hotplug is leading to hash page table calls, even on radix:

  arch_add_memory
    create_section_mapping
      htab_bolt_mapping
        BUG_ON(!ppc_md.hpte_insert);

To fix, refactor {create,remove}_section_mapping() into hash__ and
radix__ variants. Leave the radix versions stubbed for now.

commit 1a92a80ad386a1a6e3b36d576d52a1a456394b70 upstream.

There is no guarantee that the various isync's involved with
the context switch will order the update of the CPU mask with
the first TLB entry for the new context being loaded by the HW.

Be safe here and add a memory barrier to order any subsequent
load/store which may bring entries into the TLB.

The corresponding barrier on the other side already exists as
pte updates use pte_xchg() which uses __cmpxchg_u64 which has
a sync after the atomic operation.

the boot fails on such a machine with bunch of warning preceeding it.
See http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170724134240.GL25221@dhcp22.suse.cz

It seems the right thing to do is to enlarge the vmalloc space on ppc
but this is not the case in the upstream kernel yet AFAIK. It is also
questionable whether that is a stable material but I will decision on
you here.

We have reverted this patch from our 4.4 based kernel.

Newer kernels do not have enlarged vmalloc space yet AFAIK so they won't
work properly eiter. This bug is quite rare though because you need a
specific HW configuration to trigger the issue - namely NUMA nodes have
to be far away from each other in the physical memory space.

commit 2400fd822f467cb4c886c879d8ad99feac9cf319 upstream.

The workaround for the CELL timebase bug does not correctly mark cr0 as
being clobbered. This means GCC doesn't know that the asm block changes cr0 and
might leave the result of an unrelated comparison in cr0 across the block, which
we then trash, leading to basically random behaviour.

<title>powerpc/64: Fix atomic64_inc_not_zero() to return an int</title>

commit 01e6a61aceb82e13bec29502a8eb70d9574f97ad upstream.

Although it's not documented anywhere, there is an expectation that
atomic64_inc_not_zero() returns a result which fits in an int. This is
the behaviour implemented on all arches except powerpc.

This has caused at least one bug in practice, in the percpu-refcount
code, where the long result from our atomic64_inc_not_zero() was
truncated to an int leading to lost references and stuck systems. That
was worked around in that code in commit 966d2b04e070 ("percpu-refcount:
fix reference leak during percpu-atomic transition").

To the best of my grepping abilities there are no other callers
in-tree which truncate the value, but we should fix it anyway. Because
the breakage is subtle and potentially very harmful I'm also tagging
it for stable.

Code generation is largely unaffected because in most cases the
callers are just using the result for a test anyway. In particular the
case of fget() that was mentioned in commit a6cf7ed5119f
("powerpc/atomic: Implement atomic*_inc_not_zero") generates exactly
the same code.

commit 47ebb09d54856500c5a5e14824781902b3bb738e upstream.

Now that explicitly executed loaders are loaded in the mmap region, we
have more freedom to decide where we position PIE binaries in the
address space to avoid possible collisions with mmap or stack regions.

For 64-bit, align to 4GB to allow runtimes to use the entire 32-bit
address space for 32-bit pointers.  On 32-bit use 4MB, which is the
traditional x86 minimum load location, likely to avoid historically
requiring a 4MB page table entry when only a portion of the first 4MB
would be used (since the NULL address is avoided).

<title>powerpc/numa: Fix percpu allocations to be NUMA aware</title>

<id>b4624ff952ec7d268a9651cd9184a1995befc271</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ba4a648f12f4cd0a8003dd229b6ca8a53348ee4b upstream.

In commit 8c272261194d ("powerpc/numa: Enable USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID"), we
switched to the generic implementation of cpu_to_node(), which uses a percpu
variable to hold the NUMA node for each CPU.

Unfortunately we neglected to notice that we use cpu_to_node() in the allocation
of our percpu areas, leading to a chicken and egg problem. In practice what
happens is when we are setting up the percpu areas, cpu_to_node() reports that
all CPUs are on node 0, so we allocate all percpu areas on node 0.

This is visible in the dmesg output, as all pcpu allocs being in group 0:

  pcpu-alloc: [0] 00 01 02 03 [0] 04 05 06 07
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 08 09 10 11 [0] 12 13 14 15
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 16 17 18 19 [0] 20 21 22 23
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 24 25 26 27 [0] 28 29 30 31
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 32 33 34 35 [0] 36 37 38 39
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 40 41 42 43 [0] 44 45 46 47

To fix it we need an early_cpu_to_node() which can run prior to percpu being
setup. We already have the numa_cpu_lookup_table we can use, so just plumb it
in. With the patch dmesg output shows two groups, 0 and 1:

  pcpu-alloc: [0] 00 01 02 03 [0] 04 05 06 07
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 08 09 10 11 [0] 12 13 14 15

  pcpu-alloc: [1] 40 41 42 43 [1] 44 45 46 47

We can also check the data_offset in the paca of various CPUs, with the fix we
see:

  CPU 0:  data_offset = 0x0ffe8b0000
  CPU 24: data_offset = 0x1ffe5b0000

And we can see from dmesg that CPU 24 has an allocation on node 1:

  node   0: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000fffffffff]
  node   1: [mem 0x0000001000000000-0x0000001fffffffff]

commit ba4a648f12f4cd0a8003dd229b6ca8a53348ee4b upstream.

In commit 8c272261194d ("powerpc/numa: Enable USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID"), we
switched to the generic implementation of cpu_to_node(), which uses a percpu
variable to hold the NUMA node for each CPU.

Unfortunately we neglected to notice that we use cpu_to_node() in the allocation
of our percpu areas, leading to a chicken and egg problem. In practice what
happens is when we are setting up the percpu areas, cpu_to_node() reports that
all CPUs are on node 0, so we allocate all percpu areas on node 0.

This is visible in the dmesg output, as all pcpu allocs being in group 0:

  pcpu-alloc: [0] 00 01 02 03 [0] 04 05 06 07
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 08 09 10 11 [0] 12 13 14 15
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 16 17 18 19 [0] 20 21 22 23
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 24 25 26 27 [0] 28 29 30 31
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 32 33 34 35 [0] 36 37 38 39
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 40 41 42 43 [0] 44 45 46 47

To fix it we need an early_cpu_to_node() which can run prior to percpu being
setup. We already have the numa_cpu_lookup_table we can use, so just plumb it

<title>powerpc/mm: Ensure IRQs are off in switch_mm()</title>

commit 9765ad134a00a01cbcc69c78ff6defbfad209bc5 upstream.

powerpc expects IRQs to already be (soft) disabled when switch_mm() is
called, as made clear in the commit message of 9c1e105238c4 ("powerpc: Allow
perf_counters to access user memory at interrupt time").

Aside from any race conditions that might exist between switch_mm() and an IRQ,
there is also an unconditional hard_irq_disable() in switch_slb(). If that isn't
followed at some point by an IRQ enable then interrupts will remain disabled
until we return to userspace.

It is true that when switch_mm() is called from the scheduler IRQs are off, but
not when it's called by use_mm(). Looking closer we see that last year in commit
f98db6013c55 ("sched/core: Add switch_mm_irqs_off() and use it in the scheduler")
this was made more explicit by the addition of switch_mm_irqs_off() which is now
called by the scheduler, vs switch_mm() which is used by use_mm().

Arguably it is a bug in use_mm() to call switch_mm() in a different context than
it expects, but fixing that will take time.

This was discovered recently when vhost started throwing warnings such as:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:578
  in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 10768, name: vhost-10760

Prior to commit 04b96e5528ca ("vhost: lockless enqueuing") (Aug 2016) the
vhost_worker() would do a spin_unlock_irq() not long after calling use_mm(),
which had the effect of reenabling IRQs. Since that commit removed the locking
in vhost_worker() the body of the vhost_worker() loop now runs with interrupts
off causing the warnings.

This patch addresses the problem by making the powerpc code mirror the x86 code,
ie. we disable interrupts in switch_mm(), and optimise the scheduler case by
defining switch_mm_irqs_off().

commit 4ab2537c4204b976e4ca350bbdc193b4649cad28 upstream.

In commit a4b349540a26af ("powerpc/mm: Cleanup LPCR defines") we updated
LPCR_VRMASD wrongly as below.

-#define   LPCR_VRMASD  (0x1ful &lt;&lt; (63-16))
+#define   LPCR_VRMASD_SH       47
+#define   LPCR_VRMASD          (ASM_CONST(1) &lt;&lt; LPCR_VRMASD_SH)

We initialize the VRMA bits in LPCR to 0x00 in kvm. Hence using a
different mask value as above while updating lpcr should not have any
impact.

This patch updates it to the correct value.
