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.

<title>powerpc: Work around gcc miscompilation of __pa() on 64-bit</title>

commit bdbc29c19b2633b1d9c52638fb732bcde7a2031a upstream.

On 64-bit, __pa(&amp;static_var) gets miscompiled by recent versions of
gcc as something like:

        addis 3,2,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@ha
        addi 3,3,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@l

This ends up effectively ignoring the offset, since its bottom 32 bits
are zero, and means that the result of __pa() still has 0xC in the top
nibble.  This happens with gcc 4.8.1, at least.

To work around this, for 64-bit we make __pa() use an AND operator,
and for symmetry, we make __va() use an OR operator.  Using an AND
operator rather than a subtraction ends up with slightly shorter code
since it can be done with a single clrldi instruction, whereas it
takes three instructions to form the constant (-PAGE_OFFSET) and add
it on.  (Note that MEMORY_START is always 0 on 64-bit.)

commit aa709f3bc92c6daaf177cd7e3446da2ef64426c6 upstream.

Newer gcc are being a bit blind here (it's pretty obvious we don't
reach the code path using the array if we haven't initialized the
pointer) but none of that is performance critical so let's just
silence it.

<title>powerpc/modules: Module CRC relocation fix causes perf issues</title>

commit 0e0ed6406e61434d3f38fb58aa8464ec4722b77e upstream.

Module CRCs are implemented as absolute symbols that get resolved by
a linker script. We build an intermediate .o that contains an
unresolved symbol for each CRC. genksysms parses this .o, calculates
the CRCs and writes a linker script that "resolves" the symbols to
the calculated CRC.

Unfortunately the ppc64 relocatable kernel sees these CRCs as symbols
that need relocating and relocates them at boot. Commit d4703aef
(module: handle ppc64 relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y)
added a hook to reverse the bogus relocations. Part of this patch
created a symbol at 0x0:

# head -2 /proc/kallsyms
0000000000000000 T reloc_start
c000000000000000 T .__start

This reloc_start symbol is causing lots of confusion to perf. It
thinks reloc_start is a massive function that stretches from 0x0 to
0xc000000000000000 and we get various cryptic errors out of perf,
including:

problem incrementing symbol count, skipping event

This patch removes the  reloc_start linker script label and instead
defines it as PHYSICAL_START. We also need to wrap it with
CONFIG_PPC64 because the ppc32 kernel can set a non zero
PHYSICAL_START at compile time and we wouldn't want to subtract
it from the CRCs in that case.

commit 230b3034793247f61e6a0b08c44cf415f6d92981 upstream.

When replaying interrupts (as a result of the interrupt occurring
while soft-disabled), in the case of the decrementer, we are exclusively
testing for a pending timer target. However we also use decrementer
interrupts to trigger the new "irq_work", which in this case would
be missed.

This change the logic to force a replay in both cases of a timer
boundary reached and a decrementer interrupt having actually occurred
while disabled. The former test is still useful to catch cases where
a CPU having been hard-disabled for a long time completely misses the
interrupt due to a decrementer rollover.

<title>powerpc: Fix stack overflow crash in resume_kernel when ftracing</title>

commit 0e37739b1c96d65e6433998454985de994383019 upstream.

It's possible for us to crash when running with ftrace enabled, eg:

  Bad kernel stack pointer bffffd12 at c00000000000a454
  cpu 0x3: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000000ffe3d40]
      pc: c00000000000a454: resume_kernel+0x34/0x60

      sp: bffffd12
     msr: 8000000000001032
     dar: bffffd12
   dsisr: 42000000

If we look at current's stack (paca-&gt;__current-&gt;stack) we see it is
equal to c0000002ecab0000. Our stack is 16K, and comparing to
paca-&gt;kstack (c0000002ecab3e30) we can see that we have overflowed our
kernel stack. This leads to us writing over our struct thread_info, and
in this case we have corrupted thread_info-&gt;flags and set
_TIF_EMULATE_STACK_STORE.

Dumping the stack we see:

  ... and so on

__ppc64_runlatch_on() is called from RUNLATCH_ON in the exception entry
path. At that point the irq state is not consistent, ie. interrupts are
hard disabled (by the exception entry), but the paca soft-enabled flag
may be out of sync.

This leads to the local_irq_restore() in trace_graph_entry() actually
enabling interrupts, which we do not want. Because we have not yet
reprogrammed the decrementer we immediately take another decrementer
exception, and recurse.

The fix is twofold. Firstly make sure we call DISABLE_INTS before
calling RUNLATCH_ON. The badly named DISABLE_INTS actually reconciles
the irq state in the paca with the hardware, making it safe again to
call local_irq_save/restore().

Although that should be sufficient to fix the bug, we also mark the
runlatch routines as notrace. They are called very early in the
exception entry and we are asking for trouble tracing them. They are
also fairly uninteresting and tracing them just adds unnecessary
overhead.

  ... and so on

__ppc64_runlatch_on() is called from RUNLATCH_ON in the exception entry
path. At that point the irq state is not consistent, ie. interrupts are
hard disabled (by the exception entry), but the paca soft-enabled flag
may be out of sync.

This leads to the local_irq_restore() in trace_graph_entry() actually
enabling interrupts, which we do not want. Because we have not yet
reprogrammed the decrementer we immediately take another decrementer
exception, and recurse.

The fix is twofold. Firstly make sure we call DISABLE_INTS before
calling RUNLATCH_ON. The badly named DISABLE_INTS actually reconciles
the irq state in the paca with the hardware, making it safe again to
call local_irq_save/restore().

Although that should be sufficient to fix the bug, we also mark the
runlatch routines as notrace. They are called very early in the
exception entry and we are asking for trouble tracing them. They are
also fairly uninteresting and tracing them just adds unnecessary
overhead.

<title>powerpc/eeh: Don't check RTAS token to get PE addr</title>

commit b8b3de224f194005ad87ede6fd022fcc2bef3b1a upstream.

RTAS token "ibm,get-config-addr-info" or ibm,get-config-addr-info2"
are used to retrieve the PE address according to PCI address, which
made up of domain/bus/slot/function. If we don't have those 2 tokens,
the domain/bus/slot/function would be used as the address for EEH
RTAS operations. Some older f/w might not have those 2 tokens and
that blocks the EEH functionality to be initialized. It was introduced
by commit e2af155c ("powerpc/eeh: pseries platform EEH initialization").

The patch skips the check on those 2 tokens so we can bring up EEH
functionality successfully. And domain/bus/slot/function will be
used as address for EEH RTAS operations.

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).

<title>powerpc: fix numa distance for form0 device tree</title>

commit 7122beeee7bc1757682049780179d7c216dd1c83 upstream.

The following commit breaks numa distance setup for old powerpc
systems that use form0 encoding in device tree.

commit 41eab6f88f24124df89e38067b3766b7bef06ddb
powerpc/numa: Use form 1 affinity to setup node distance

Device tree node /rtas/ibm,associativity-reference-points would
index into /cpus/PowerPCxxxx/ibm,associativity based on form0 or
form1 encoding detected by ibm,architecture-vec-5 property.

All modern systems use form1 and current kernel code is correct.
However, on older systems with form0 encoding, the numa distance
will get hard coded as LOCAL_DISTANCE for all nodes.  This causes
task scheduling anomaly since scheduler will skip building numa
level domain (topmost domain with all cpus) if all numa distances
are same.  (value of 'level' in sched_init_numa() will remain 0)

Prior to the above commit:
((from) == (to) ? LOCAL_DISTANCE : REMOTE_DISTANCE)

Restoring compatible behavior with this patch for old powerpc systems
with device tree where numa distance are encoded as form0.

<title>powerpc: Emulate non privileged DSCR read and write</title>

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.
