powerpc: Handle unaligned ldbrx/stdbrx

2013-09-27T00:21:35+00:00

commit 230aef7a6a23b6166bd4003bfff5af23c9bd381f upstream.

Normally when we haven't implemented an alignment handler for
a load or store instruction the process will be terminated.

The alignment handler uses the DSISR (or a pseudo one) to locate
the right handler. Unfortunately ldbrx and stdbrx overlap lfs and
stfs so we incorrectly think ldbrx is an lfs and stdbrx is an
stfs.

This bug is particularly nasty - instead of terminating the
process we apply an incorrect fixup and continue on.

With more and more overlapping instructions we should stop
creating a pseudo DSISR and index using the instruction directly,
but for now add a special case to catch ldbrx/stdbrx.

powerpc: Don't Oops when accessing /proc/powerpc/lparcfg without hypervisor

2013-08-27T06:38:33+00:00

/proc/powerpc/lparcfg is an ancient facility (though still actively used)
which allows access to some informations relative to the partition when
running underneath a PAPR compliant hypervisor.

It makes no sense on non-pseries machines. However, currently, not only
can it be created on these if the kernel has pseries support, but accessing
it on such a machine will crash due to trying to do hypervisor calls.

In fact, it should also not do HV calls on older pseries that didn't have
an hypervisor either.

Finally, it has the plumbing to be a module but is a "bool" Kconfig option.

This fixes the whole lot by turning it into a machine_device_initcall
that is only created on pseries, and adding the necessary hypervisor
check before calling the H_GET_EM_PARMS hypercall

powerpc/tm: Fix context switching TAR, PPR and DSCR SPRs

2013-08-09T08:07:12+00:00

If a transaction is rolled back, the Target Address Register (TAR), Processor
Priority Register (PPR) and Data Stream Control Register (DSCR) should be
restored to the checkpointed values before the transaction began.  Any changes
to these SPRs inside the transaction should not be visible in the abort
handler.

Currently Linux doesn't save or restore the checkpointed TAR, PPR or DSCR.  If
we preempt a processes inside a transaction which has modified any of these, on
process restore, that same transaction may be aborted we but we won't see the
checkpointed versions of these SPRs.

This adds checkpointed versions of these SPRs to the thread_struct and adds the
save/restore of these three SPRs to the treclaim/trechkpt code.

Without this if any of these SPRs are modified during a transaction, users may
incorrectly see a speculated SPR value even if the transaction is aborted.

powerpc: Save the TAR register earlier

2013-08-09T08:07:08+00:00

This moves us to save the Target Address Register (TAR) a earlier in
__switch_to.  It introduces a new function save_tar() to do this.

We need to save the TAR earlier as we will overwrite it in the transactional
memory reclaim/recheckpoint path.  We are going to do this in a subsequent
patch which will fix saving the TAR register when it's modified inside a
transaction.

powerpc: Fix context switch DSCR on POWER8

2013-08-09T08:07:05+00:00

POWER8 allows the DSCR to be accessed directly from userspace via a new SPR
number 0x3 (Rather than 0x11.  DSCR SPR number 0x11 is still used on POWER8 but
like POWER7, is only accessible in HV and OS modes).  Currently, we allow this
by setting H/FSCR DSCR bit on boot.

Unfortunately this doesn't work, as the kernel needs to see the DSCR change so
that it knows to no longer restore the system wide version of DSCR on context
switch (ie. to set thread.dscr_inherit).

This clears the H/FSCR DSCR bit initially.  If a process then accesses the DSCR
(via SPR 0x3), it'll trap into the kernel where we set thread.dscr_inherit in
facility_unavailable_exception().

We also change _switch() so that we set or clear the H/FSCR DSCR bit based on
the thread.dscr_inherit.

powerpc: Fix hypervisor facility unavaliable vector number

2013-08-09T08:06:58+00:00

Currently if we take hypervisor facility unavaliable (from 0xf80/0x4f80) we
mark it as an OS facility unavaliable (0xf60) as the two share the same code
path.

The becomes a problem in facility_unavailable_exception() as we aren't able to
see the hypervisor facility unavailable exceptions.

Below fixes this by duplication the required macros.

powerpc: Rename PMU interrupts from CNT to PMI

2013-08-01T03:11:46+00:00

Back in commit 89713ed "Add timer, performance monitor and machine check
counts to /proc/interrupts" we added a count of PMU interrupts to the
output of /proc/interrupts.

At the time we named them "CNT" to match x86.

However in commit 89ccf46 "Rename 'performance counter interrupt'", the
x86 guys renamed theirs from "CNT" to "PMI".

Arguably changing the name could break someone's script, but I think the
chance of that is minimal, and it's preferable to have a name that 1) is
somewhat meaningful, and 2) matches x86.

powerpc/eeh: Introdce flag to protect sysfs

2013-07-24T04:18:49+00:00

The patch introduces flag EEH_DEV_SYSFS to keep track that the sysfs
entries for the corresponding EEH device (then PCI device) has been
added or removed, in order to avoid race condition.
