statement in flush_cache_range() during a system shutdown:

This patch modifies flush_cache_range() to handle non current contexts.
In as much as this occurs infrequently, the simplest approach is to
flush the entire cache when this happens.

It's always bothered me that we only disable preemption in
copy_user_page around the call to flush_dcache_page_asm.
This patch extends this to after the copy.

<title>parisc: Prevent TLB speculation on flushed pages on CPUs that only support equivalent aliases</title>

<content type='text'>
Helge noticed that we flush the TLB page in flush_cache_page but not in
flush_cache_range or flush_cache_mm.

For a long time, we have had random segmentation faults building
packages on machines with PA8800/8900 processors.  These machines only
support equivalent aliases.  We don't see these faults on machines that
don't require strict coherency.  So, it appears TLB speculation
sometimes leads to cache corruption on machines that require coherency.

This patch adds TLB flushes to flush_cache_range and flush_cache_mm when
coherency is required.  We only flush the TLB in flush_cache_page when
coherency is required.

The patch also optimizes flush_cache_range.  It turns out we always have
the right context to use flush_user_dcache_range_asm and
flush_user_icache_range_asm.

The patch has been tested for some time on rp3440, rp3410 and A500-44.
It's been boot tested on c8000.  No random segmentation faults were
observed during testing.

The previously submitted patch did not resolve the random segmentation
faults observed on the phantom buildd system.  There are still
unresolved problems with the Debian 4.8 and 4.9 kernels on C8000.

The attached patch removes the flush of the offset map pages and does a
whole data cache flush for large ranges.  No other arch flushes the
offset map in these routines as far as I can tell.

I have not observed any random segmentation faults on rp3440 in two
weeks of testing with 4.10.0 and 4.10.1.

We are going to split more MM APIs out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from a couple of .c files.

The APIs that we are going to move are:

  arch_pick_mmap_layout()
  arch_get_unmapped_area()
  arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
  mm_update_next_owner()

Include the header in the files that are going to need it.

The functions flush_user_dcache_range() and flush_user_icache_range()
are only used by the parisc signal handling code.  This code only needs
to flush a couple of lines, so the threshold check is unnecessary
overhead.

<title>parisc: Fix TLB related boot crash on SMP machines</title>

<id>24d0492b7d5d321a9c5846c8c974eba9823ffaa0</id>
<content type='text'>
At bootup we run measurements to calculate the best threshold for when we
should be using full TLB flushes instead of just flushing a specific amount of
TLB entries.  This performance test is run over the kernel text segment.

But running this TLB performance test on the kernel text segment turned out to
crash some SMP machines when the kernel text pages were mapped as huge pages.

To avoid those crashes this patch simply skips this test on some SMP machines
and calculates an optimal threshold based on the maximum number of available
TLB entries and number of online CPUs.

On a technical side, this seems to happen:
The TLB measurement code uses flush_tlb_kernel_range() to flush specific TLB
entries with a page size of 4k (pdtlb 0(sr1,addr)). On UP systems this purge
instruction seems to work without problems even if the pages were mapped as
huge pages.  But on SMP systems the TLB purge instruction is broadcasted to
other CPUs. Those CPUs then crash the machine because the page size is not as
expected.  C8000 machines with PA8800/PA8900 CPUs were not affected by this
problem, because the required cache coherency prohibits to use huge pages at
all.  Sadly I didn't found any documentation about this behaviour, so this
finding is purely based on testing with phyiscal SMP machines (A500-44 and
J5000, both were 2-way boxes).

[   12.692036] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

We have the insn 0x43ffff80 in IIR but from IAOQ we should have:
   4025d150:   0f f3 20 df     ldd,s r19(r31),r31
   4025d154:   0f 9f 00 9c     ldw r31(ret0),ret0
   4025d158:   bf 80 20 58     cmpb,*&lt;&gt; r0,ret0,4025d18c &lt;irq_exit+0xcc&gt;

Cpu0 has just completed running parisc_setup_cache_timing:

[    2.429981] Releasing cpu 1 now, hpa=fffffffffffa2000
[    2.635751] CPU(s): 2 out of 2 PA8500 (PCX-W) at 440.000000 MHz online
[    2.726692] Setting cache flush threshold to 1024 kB
[    2.729932] Not-handled unaligned insn 0x43ffff80
[    2.798114] Setting TLB flush threshold to 140 kB
[    2.928039] Unaligned handler failed, ret = -1

From the backtrace, cpu1 is in smp_callin:

void __init smp_callin(void)
{
       int slave_id = cpu_now_booting;

       smp_cpu_init(slave_id);
       preempt_disable();

       flush_cache_all_local(); /* start with known state */
       flush_tlb_all_local(NULL);

       local_irq_enable();  /* Interrupts have been off until now */

       cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE);

So, it has just flushed its caches and the TLB. It would seem either the
flushes in parisc_setup_cache_timing or smp_callin have corrupted kernel
memory.

The attached patch reworks parisc_setup_cache_timing to remove the races
in setting the cache and TLB flush thresholds. It also corrects the
number of bytes flushed in the TLB calculation.

The patch flushes the cache and TLB on cpu0 before starting the
secondary processors so that they are started from a known state.

Tested with a few reboots on c8000.
