commit 9bf3d3c4e4fd82c7174f4856df372ab2a71005b9 upstream.

<title>powerpc/traps: fix recoverability of machine check handling on book3s/32</title>

commit 0bbea75c476b77fa7d7811d6be911cc7583e640f upstream.

Looks like book3s/32 doesn't set RI on machine check, so
checking RI before calling die() will always be fatal
allthought this is not an issue in most cases.

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

<id>96d4f267e40f9509e8a66e2b39e8b95655617693</id>
<content type='text'>
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Usually a TM Bad Thing exception is raised due to three different problems.
a) touching SPRs in an active transaction; b) using TM instruction with the
facility disabled and c) setting a wrong MSR/SRR1 at RFID.

The two initial cases are easy to identify by looking at the instructions.
The latter case is harder, because the MSR is masked after RFID, so, it is
very useful to look at the previous MSR (SRR1) before RFID as also the
current and masked MSR.

Since MSR is saved at paca just before RFID, this patch prints it if a TM
Bad thing happen, helping to understand what is the invalid TM transition
that is causing the exception.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - A large series to rewrite our SLB miss handling, replacing a lot of
     fairly complicated asm with much fewer lines of C.

   - Following on from that, we now maintain a cache of SLB entries for
     each process and preload them on context switch. Leading to a 27%
     speedup for our context switch benchmark on Power9.

   - Improvements to our handling of SLB multi-hit errors. We now print
     more debug information when they occur, and try to continue running
     by flushing the SLB and reloading, rather than treating them as
     fatal.

   - Enable THP migration on 64-bit Book3S machines (eg. Power7/8/9).

   - Add support for physical memory up to 2PB in the linear mapping on
     64-bit Book3S. We only support up to 512TB as regular system
     memory, otherwise the percpu allocator runs out of vmalloc space.

   - Add stack protector support for 32 and 64-bit, with a per-task
     canary.

   - Add support for PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP.

   - Support recognising "big cores" on Power9, where two SMT4 cores are
     presented to us as a single SMT8 core.

   - A large series to cleanup some of our ioremap handling and PTE
     flags.

   - Add a driver for the PAPR SCM (storage class memory) interface,
     allowing guests to operate on SCM devices (acked by Dan).

   - Changes to our ftrace code to handle very large kernels, where we
     need to use a trampoline to get to ftrace_caller().

  And many other smaller enhancements and cleanups.

commit b96672dd840f ("powerpc: Machine check interrupt is a non-
maskable interrupt") added a call to nmi_enter() at the beginning of
machine check restart exception handler. Due to that, in_interrupt()
always returns true regardless of the state before entering the
exception, and die() panics even when the system was not already in
interrupt.

This patch calls nmi_exit() before calling die() in order to restore
the interrupt state we had before calling nmi_enter()

When printing the machine check cause, the cause appears on the
following line due to bad use of printk without \n:

[   33.663993] Machine check in kernel mode.
[   33.664011] Caused by (from SRR1=9032):
[   33.664036] Data access error at address c90c8000

When printing the machine check cause, the cause appears on the
following line due to bad use of printk without \n:

[   33.663993] Machine check in kernel mode.
[   33.664011] Caused by (from SRR1=9032):
[   33.664036] Data access error at address c90c8000

This patch fixes it by using pr_cont() for the second part:

[  133.258131] Machine check in kernel mode.
[  133.258146] Caused by (from SRR1=9032): Data access error at address c90c8000

The code in machine_check_exception excludes 64s hvmode when
incrementing the MCE counter only to call opal_machine_check to
increment it specifically for this case.

Remove the exclusion and special case.

Fixes: a43c1590426c ("powerpc/pseries: Flush SLB contents on SLB MCE
		errors.")

<title>powerpc/tm: Print 64-bits MSR</title>

On a kernel TM Bad thing program exception, the Machine State Register
(MSR) is not being properly displayed. The exception code dumps a 32-bits
value but MSR is a 64 bits register for all platforms that have HTM
enabled.

This patch dumps the MSR value as a 64-bits value instead of 32 bits. In
order to do so, the 'reason' variable could not be used, since it trimmed
MSR to 32-bits (int).
