powerpc/book3s: Fix the MCE code to use CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_64_HANDLER

2015-03-23T06:10:47+00:00

commit id 2ba9f0d has changed CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_64_HV to tristate to allow
HV/PR bits to be built as modules. But the MCE code still depends on
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_64_HV which is wrong. When user selects
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_64_HV=m to build HV/PR bits as a separate module the
relevant MCE code gets excluded.

This patch fixes the MCE code to use CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_64_HANDLER. This
makes sure that the relevant MCE code is included when HV/PR bits
are built as a separate modules.

powerpc: Add PVR for POWER8NVL processor

2015-03-20T03:52:27+00:00

There's a new variant of POWER8 coming called "POWER8 with NVLink". The
core is identical to POWER8 but unfortunately they strapped it with a
different PVR, so we need to add an explicit entry for it.

powerpc/powernv: Fixes for hypervisor doorbell handling

2015-03-20T03:51:53+00:00

Since we can now use hypervisor doorbells for host IPIs, this makes
sure we clear the host IPI flag when taking a doorbell interrupt, and
clears any pending doorbell IPI in pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self() (as we
already do for IPIs sent via the XICS interrupt controller).  Otherwise
if there did happen to be a leftover pending doorbell interrupt for
an offline CPU thread for any reason, it would prevent that thread from
going into a power-saving mode; it would instead keep waking up because
of the interrupt.

powerpc/iommu: Remove IOMMU device references via bus notifier

2015-03-04T02:19:33+00:00

After d905c5df9aef ("PPC: POWERNV: move iommu_add_device earlier"), the
refcnt on the kobject backing the IOMMU group for a PCI device is
elevated by each call to pci_dma_dev_setup_pSeriesLP() (via
set_iommu_table_base_and_group). When we go to dlpar a multi-function
PCI device out:

        iommu_reconfig_notifier ->
                iommu_free_table ->
                        iommu_group_put
                        BUG_ON(tbl->it_group)

We trip this BUG_ON, because there are still references on the table, so
it is not freed. Fix this by moving the powernv bus notifier to common
code and calling it for both powernv and pseries.

powerpc/smp: Wait until secondaries are active & online

2015-03-04T02:19:33+00:00

Anton has a busy ppc64le KVM box where guests sometimes hit the infamous
"kernel BUG at kernel/smpboot.c:134!" issue during boot:

  BUG_ON(td->cpu != smp_processor_id());

Basically a per CPU hotplug thread scheduled on the wrong CPU. The oops
output confirms it:

  CPU: 0
  Comm: watchdog/130

The problem is that we aren't ensuring the CPU active bit is set for the
secondary before allowing the master to continue on. The master unparks
the secondary CPU's kthreads and the scheduler looks for a CPU to run
on. It calls select_task_rq() and realises the suggested CPU is not in
the cpus_allowed mask. It then ends up in select_fallback_rq(), and
since the active bit isnt't set we choose some other CPU to run on.

This seems to have been introduced by 6acbfb96976f "sched: Fix hotplug
vs. set_cpus_allowed_ptr()", which changed from setting active before
online to setting active after online. However that was in turn fixing a
bug where other code assumed an active CPU was also online, so we can't
just revert that fix.

The simplest fix is just to spin waiting for both active & online to be
set. We already have a barrier prior to set_cpu_online() (which also
sets active), to ensure all other setup is completed before online &
active are set.

Merge tag 'clk-for-linus-3.20' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mike.turquette/linux

2015-02-21T20:30:30+00:00

Pull clock framework updates from Mike Turquette:
 "The clock framework changes contain the usual driver additions,
  enhancements and fixes mostly for ARM32, ARM64, MIPS and Power-based
  devices.

  Additionally the framework core underwent a bit of surgery with two
  major changes:

   - The boundary between the clock core and clock providers (e.g clock
     drivers) is now more well defined with dedicated provider helper
     functions.  struct clk no longer maps 1:1 with the hardware clock
     but is a true per-user cookie which helps us tracker users of
     hardware clocks and debug bad behavior.

   - The addition of rate constraints for clocks.  Rate ranges are now
     supported which are analogous to the voltage ranges in the
     regulator framework.

  Unfortunately these changes to the core created some breakeage.  We
  think we fixed it all up but for this reason there are lots of last
  minute commits trying to undo the damage"

kexec: add IND_FLAGS macro

2015-02-17T22:34:51+00:00

Add a new kexec preprocessor macro IND_FLAGS, which is the bitwise OR of
all the possible kexec IND_ kimage_entry indirection flags.  Having this
macro allows for simplified code in the prosessing of the kexec
kimage_entry items.  Also, remove the local powerpc definition and use the
generic one.

powerpc: add running_clock for powerpc to prevent spurious softlockup warnings

2015-02-13T02:54:13+00:00

On POWER8 virtualised kernels the VTB register can be read to have a view
of time that only increases while the guest is running.  This will prevent
guests from seeing time jump if a guest is paused for significant amounts
of time.

On POWER7 and below virtualised kernels stolen time is subtracted from
local_clock as a best effort approximation.  This will not eliminate
spurious warnings in the case of a suspended guest but may reduce the
occurance in the case of softlockups due to host over commit.

Bare metal kernels should avoid reading the VTB as KVM does not restore
sane values when not executing, the approxmation is fine as host kernels
won't observe any stolen time.

all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct

2015-02-13T02:54:12+00:00

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.
