powerpc/pseries: Perform proper max_bus_speed detection

2013-06-13T17:49:42+00:00

commit d82fb31abc46620b7c22758c75707069f2763646 upstream.

On pseries machines the detection for max_bus_speed should be done
through an OpenFirmware property. This patch adds a function to perform
this detection and a hook to perform dynamic adding of the function only
for pseries. This is done by overwriting the weak
pcibios_root_bridge_prepare function which is called by
pci_create_root_bus().

powerpc: Set default VGA device

2013-06-13T17:49:41+00:00

commit c2e1d84523ad2a19e5be08c1f01999cc9e82652e upstream.

Add a PCI quirk for VGA devices on Power to set the default VGA device.
Ensures a default VGA is always set if a graphics adapter is present,
even if firmware did not initialize it. If more than one graphics
adapter is present, ensure the one initialized by firmware is set
as the default VGA device. This ensures that X autoconfiguration
will work.

powerpc/hw_breakpoints: Add DABRX cpu feature to fix 32-bit regression

2013-06-13T17:49:28+00:00

commit 82a9f16adc12f51c3f8ea59a7c3c120241aff836 upstream.

When introducing support for DABRX in 4474ef0, we broke older 32-bit CPUs
that don't have that register.

Some CPUs have a DABR but not DABRX.  Configuration are:
- No 32bit CPUs have DABRX but some have DABR.
- POWER4+ and below have the DABR but no DABRX.
- 970 and POWER5 and above have DABR and DABRX.
- POWER8 has DAWR, hence no DABRX.

This introduces CPU_FTR_DABRX and sets it on appropriate CPUs.  We use
the top 64 bits for CPU FTR bits since only 64 bit CPUs have this.

Processors that don't have the DABRX will still work as they will fall
back to software filtering these breakpoints via perf_exclude_event().

powerpc/tm: Abort on emulation and alignment faults

2013-06-07T19:53:20+00:00

commit 6ce6c629fd8254b3177650de99699682ff7f6707 upstream.

If we are emulating an instruction inside an active user transaction that
touches memory, the kernel can't emulate it as it operates in transactional
suspend context.  We need to abort these transactions and send them back to
userspace for the hardware to rollback.

We can service these if the user transaction is in suspend mode, since the
kernel will operate in the same suspend context.

This adds a check to all alignment faults and to specific instruction
emulations (only string instructions for now).  If the user process is in an
active (non-suspended) transaction, we abort the transaction go back to
userspace allowing the HW to roll back the transaction and tell the user of the
failure.  This also adds new tm abort cause codes to report the reason of the
persistent error to the user.

Crappy test case here http://neuling.org/devel/junkcode/aligntm.c

powerpc/tm: Fix userspace stack corruption on signal delivery for active transactions

2013-06-07T19:53:19+00:00

commit 2b3f8e87cf99a33fb6faf5026d7147748bbd77b6 upstream.

When in an active transaction that takes a signal, we need to be careful with
the stack.  It's possible that the stack has moved back up after the tbegin.
The obvious case here is when the tbegin is called inside a function that
returns before a tend.  In this case, the stack is part of the checkpointed
transactional memory state.  If we write over this non transactionally or in
suspend, we are in trouble because if we get a tm abort, the program counter
and stack pointer will be back at the tbegin but our in memory stack won't be
valid anymore.

To avoid this, when taking a signal in an active transaction, we need to use
the stack pointer from the checkpointed state, rather than the speculated
state.  This ensures that the signal context (written tm suspended) will be
written below the stack required for the rollback.  The transaction is aborted
becuase of the treclaim, so any memory written between the tbegin and the
signal will be rolled back anyway.

For signals taken in non-TM or suspended mode, we use the
normal/non-checkpointed stack pointer.

Tested with 64 and 32 bit signals

powerpc/32bit:Store temporary result in r0 instead of r8

2013-06-07T19:53:18+00:00

commit f7b3367774f92a688d39ed767f0ae9b93af7873a upstream.

Commit a9c4e541ea9b22944da356f2a9258b4eddcc953b
"powerpc/kprobe: Complete kprobe and migrate exception frame"
introduced a regression:

While returning from exception handling in case of PREEMPT enabled,
_TIF_NEED_RESCHED bit is checked in TI_FLAGS (thread_info flag) of current
task. Only if this bit is set, it should continue with the process of
calling preempt_schedule_irq() to schedule highest priority task if
available.

Current code assumes that r8 contains TI_FLAGS and check this for
_TIF_NEED_RESCHED, but as r8 is modified in the code which executes before
this check, r8 no longer contains the expected TI_FLAGS information.

As a result check for comparison with _TIF_NEED_RESCHED was failing even if
NEED_RESCHED bit is set in the current thread_info flag. Due to this,
preempt_schedule_irq() and in turn scheduler was not getting called even if
highest priority task is ready for execution.

So, store temporary results in r0 instead of r8 to prevent r8 from getting
modified as subsequent code is dependent on its value.

powerpc/kexec: Fix kexec when using VMX optimised memcpy

2013-05-19T18:38:26+00:00

commit 79c66ce8f6448a3295a32efeac88c9debd7f7094 upstream.

commit b3f271e86e5a (powerpc: POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and
enhanced prefetch) uses VMX when it is safe to do so (ie not in
interrupt). It also looks at the task struct to decide if we have to
save the current tasks' VMX state.

kexec calls memcpy() at a point where the task struct may have been
overwritten by the new kexec segments. If it has been overwritten
then when memcpy -> enable_altivec looks up current->thread.regs->msr
we get a cryptic oops or lockup.

I also notice we aren't initialising thread_info->cpu, which means
smp_processor_id is broken. Fix that too.

powerpc: Bring all threads online prior to migration/hibernation

2013-05-19T18:38:26+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

2013-05-11T14:18:16+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:

http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/user_dscr_test.c

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