powerpc/32s: Fix DSI and ISI exceptions for CONFIG_VMAP_STACK

2020-02-18T10:31:11+00:00

hash_page() needs to read page tables from kernel memory. When entire
kernel memory is mapped by BATs, which is normally the case when
CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is not set, it works even if the page hosting
the page table is not referenced in the MMU hash table.

However, if the page where the page table resides is not covered by
a BAT, a DSI fault can be encountered from hash_page(), and it loops
forever. This can happen when CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is selected
and the alignment of the different regions is too small to allow
covering the entire memory with BATs. This also happens when
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is selected or when booting with 'nobats'
flag.

Also, if the page containing the kernel stack is not present in the
MMU hash table, registers cannot be saved and a recursive DSI fault
is encountered.

To allow hash_page() to properly do its job at all time and load the
MMU hash table whenever needed, it must run with data MMU disabled.
This means it must be called before re-enabling data MMU. To allow
this, registers clobbered by hash_page() and create_hpte() have to
be saved in the thread struct together with SRR0, SSR1, DAR and DSISR.
It is also necessary to ensure that DSI prolog doesn't overwrite
regs saved by prolog of the current running exception. That means:
- DSI can only use SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH0
- Exceptions must free SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH0 before writing to the stack.

This also fixes the Oops reported by Erhard when create_hpte() is
called by add_hash_page().

Due to prolog size increase, a few more exceptions had to get split
in two parts.

powerpc/32: prepare for CONFIG_VMAP_STACK

2020-01-26T11:15:09+00:00

To support CONFIG_VMAP_STACK, the kernel has to activate Data MMU
Translation for accessing the stack. Before doing that it must save
SRR0, SRR1 and also DAR and DSISR when relevant, in order to not
loose them in case there is a Data TLB Miss once the translation is
reactivated.

This patch adds fields in thread struct for saving those registers.
It prepares entry_32.S to handle exception entry with
Data MMU Translation enabled and alters EXCEPTION_PROLOG macros to
save SRR0, SRR1, DAR and DSISR then reenables Data MMU.

powerpc/64s: Reimplement power4_idle code in C

2020-01-16T04:59:37+00:00

This implements the tricky tracing and soft irq handling bits in C,
leaving the low level bit to asm.

A functional difference is that this redirects the interrupt exit to
a return stub to execute blr, rather than the lr address itself. This
is probably barely measurable on real hardware, but it keeps the link
stack balanced.

Tested with QEMU.

Merge branch 'topic/ppc-kvm' into next

Merge our topic branch shared with KVM. In particular this includes the
rewrite of the idle code into C.

powerpc/64s: Reimplement book3s idle code in C

2019-04-30T12:37:48+00:00

Reimplement Book3S idle code in C, moving POWER7/8/9 implementation
speific HV idle code to the powernv platform code.

Book3S assembly stubs are kept in common code and used only to save
the stack frame and non-volatile GPRs before executing architected
idle instructions, and restoring the stack and reloading GPRs then
returning to C after waking from idle.

The complex logic dealing with threads and subcores, locking, SPRs,
HMIs, timebase resync, etc., is all done in C which makes it more
maintainable.

This is not a strict translation to C code, there are some
significant differences:

- Idle wakeup no longer uses the ->cpu_restore call to reinit SPRs,
  but saves and restores them itself.

- The optimisation where EC=ESL=0 idle modes did not have to save GPRs
  or change MSR is restored, because it's now simple to do. ESL=1
  sleeps that do not lose GPRs can use this optimization too.

- KVM secondary entry and cede is now more of a call/return style
  rather than branchy. nap_state_lost is not required because KVM
  always returns via NVGPR restoring path.

- KVM secondary wakeup from offline sequence is moved entirely into
  the offline wakeup, which avoids a hwsync in the normal idle wakeup
  path.

Performance measured with context switch ping-pong on different
threads or cores, is possibly improved a small amount, 1-3% depending
on stop state and core vs thread test for shallow states. Deep states
it's in the noise compared with other latencies.

KVM improvements:

- Idle sleepers now always return to caller rather than branch out
  to KVM first.

- This allows optimisations like very fast return to caller when no
  state has been lost.

- KVM no longer requires nap_state_lost because it controls NVGPR
  save/restore itself on the way in and out.

- The heavy idle wakeup KVM request check can be moved out of the
  normal host idle code and into the not-performance-critical offline
  code.

- KVM nap code now returns from where it is called, which makes the
  flow a bit easier to follow.

powerpc/32s: Implement Kernel Userspace Access Protection

2019-04-21T13:11:47+00:00

This patch implements Kernel Userspace Access Protection for
book3s/32.

Due to limitations of the processor page protection capabilities,
the protection is only against writing. read protection cannot be
achieved using page protection.

The previous patch modifies the page protection so that RW user
pages are RW for Key 0 and RO for Key 1, and it sets Key 0 for
both user and kernel.

This patch changes userspace segment registers are set to Ku 0
and Ks 1. When kernel needs to write to RW pages, the associated
segment register is then changed to Ks 0 in order to allow write
access to the kernel.

In order to avoid having the read all segment registers when
locking/unlocking the access, some data is kept in the thread_struct
and saved on stack on exceptions. The field identifies both the
first unlocked segment and the first segment following the last
unlocked one. When no segment is unlocked, it contains value 0.

As the hash_page() function is not able to easily determine if a
protfault is due to a bad kernel access to userspace, protfaults
need to be handled by handle_page_fault when KUAP is set.

powerpc: regain entire stack space

2019-02-23T11:31:40+00:00

thread_info is not anymore in the stack, so the entire stack
can now be used.

There is also no risk anymore of corrupting task_cpu(p) with a
stack overflow so the patch removes the test.

When doing this, an explicit test for NULL stack pointer is
needed in validate_sp() as it is not anymore implicitely covered
by the sizeof(thread_info) gap.

In the meantime, with the previous patch all pointers to the stacks
are not anymore pointers to thread_info so this patch changes them
to void*

powerpc: Use linux/thread_info.h in processor.h

2019-02-23T11:31:40+00:00

When we enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK we will remove our definition of
current_thread_info(). Instead it will come from linux/thread_info.h

So switch processor.h to include the latter, so that it can continue
