When the watchdog timer is set in interrupt mode, it causes a
machine check when it times out. The purpose of this mode is to
ease debugging, not to crash the kernel and reboot the machine.

This patch implements a special handling for that, in order to not
crash the kernel if the watchdog times out while in interrupt or
within the idle task.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Work around transactional memory bugs in POWER9</title>

<content type='text'>
POWER9 has hardware bugs relating to transactional memory and thread
reconfiguration (changes to hardware SMT mode).  Specifically, the core
does not have enough storage to store a complete checkpoint of all the
architected state for all four threads.  The DD2.2 version of POWER9
includes hardware modifications designed to allow hypervisor software
to implement workarounds for these problems.  This patch implements
those workarounds in KVM code so that KVM guests see a full, working
transactional memory implementation.

The problems center around the use of TM suspended state, where the
CPU has a checkpointed state but execution is not transactional.  The
workaround is to implement a "fake suspend" state, which looks to the
guest like suspended state but the CPU does not store a checkpoint.
In this state, any instruction that would cause a transition to
transactional state (rfid, rfebb, mtmsrd, tresume) or would use the
checkpointed state (treclaim) causes a "soft patch" interrupt (vector
0x1500) to the hypervisor so that it can be emulated.  The trechkpt
instruction also causes a soft patch interrupt.

On POWER9 DD2.2, we avoid returning to the guest in any state which
would require a checkpoint to be present.  The trechkpt in the guest
entry path which would normally create that checkpoint is replaced by
either a transition to fake suspend state, if the guest is in suspend
state, or a rollback to the pre-transactional state if the guest is in
transactional state.  Fake suspend state is indicated by a flag in the
PACA plus a new bit in the PSSCR.  The new PSSCR bit is write-only and
reads back as 0.

On exit from the guest, if the guest is in fake suspend state, we still
do the treclaim instruction as we would in real suspend state, in order
to get into non-transactional state, but we do not save the resulting
register state since there was no checkpoint.

Emulation of the instructions that cause a softpatch interrupt is
handled in two paths.  If the guest is in real suspend mode, we call
kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation_early() to handle the cases where the guest is
transitioning to transactional state.  This is called before we do the
treclaim in the guest exit path; because we haven't done treclaim, we
can get back to the guest with the transaction still active.  If the
instruction is a case that kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation_early() doesn't
handle, or if the guest is in fake suspend state, then we proceed to
do the complete guest exit path and subsequently call
kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation() in host context with the MMU on.  This handles
all the cases including the cases that generate program interrupts
(illegal instruction or TM Bad Thing) and facility unavailable
interrupts.

The emulation is reasonably straightforward and is mostly concerned
with checking for exception conditions and updating the state of
registers such as MSR and CR0.  The treclaim emulation takes care to
ensure that the TEXASR register gets updated as if it were the guest
treclaim instruction that had done failure recording, not the treclaim
done in hypervisor state in the guest exit path.

With this, the KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM capability returns true (1) even if
transactional memory is not available to host userspace.

This adds a CPU feature bit which is set for POWER9 "Nimbus" DD2.2
processors which will be used to enable the hypervisor to assist
hardware with the handling of checkpointed register values while the
CPU is in suspend state, in order to work around hardware bugs.  The
hardware assistance for these workarounds introduced a new hardware
bug relating to the XER[SO] bit.  We add a separate feature bit for
this bug in case future chips fix it while still requiring the
hypervisor assistance with suspend state.

When the dt_cpu_ftrs subsystem is in use, the software assistance can
be enabled using a "tm-suspend-hypervisor-assist" node in the device
tree, and a "tm-suspend-xer-so-bug" node enables the workarounds for
the XER[SO] bug.  In the absence of such nodes, a quirk enables both
for POWER9 "Nimbus" DD2.2 processors.

<title>powerpc/64s: Improve local TLB flush for boot and MCE on POWER9</title>

<content type='text'>
There are several cases outside the normal address space management
where a CPU's entire local TLB is to be flushed:

  1. Booting the kernel, in case something has left stale entries in
     the TLB (e.g., kexec).

  2. Machine check, to clean corrupted TLB entries.

One other place where the TLB is flushed, is waking from deep idle
states. The flush is a side-effect of calling -&gt;cpu_restore with the
intention of re-setting various SPRs. The flush itself is unnecessary
because in the first case, the TLB should not acquire new corrupted
TLB entries as part of sleep/wake (though they may be lost).

This type of TLB flush is coded inflexibly, several times for each CPU
type, and they have a number of problems with ISA v3.0B:

- The current radix mode of the MMU is not taken into account, it is
  always done as a hash flushn For IS=2 (LPID-matching flush from host)
  and IS=3 with HV=0 (guest kernel flush), tlbie(l) is undefined if
  the R field does not match the current radix mode.

- ISA v3.0B hash must flush the partition and process table caches as
  well.

- ISA v3.0B radix must flush partition and process scoped translations,
  partition and process table caches, and also the page walk cache.

So consolidate the flushing code and implement it in C and inline asm
under the mm/ directory with the rest of the flush code. Add ISA v3.0B
cases for radix and hash, and use the radix flush in radix environment.

Provide a way for IS=2 (LPID flush) to specify the radix mode of the
partition. Have KVM pass in the radix mode of the guest.

Take out the flushes from early cputable/dt_cpu_ftrs detection hooks,
and move it later in the boot process after, the MMU registers are set
up and before relocation is first turned on.

The TLB flush is no longer called when restoring from deep idle states.
This was not be done as a separate step because booting secondaries
uses the same cpu_restore as idle restore, which needs the TLB flush.

<title>powerpc/64s: Fix Power9 DD2.0 workarounds by adding DD2.1 feature</title>

<id>3ffa9d9e2a7c10127d8cbf91ea2be15390b450ed</id>
<content type='text'>
Recently we added a CPU feature for Power9 DD2.0, to capture the fact
that some workarounds are required only on Power9 DD1 and DD2.0 but
not DD2.1 or later.

Then in commit 9d2f510a66ec ("powerpc/64s/idle: avoid POWER9 DD1 and
DD2.0 ERAT workaround on DD2.1") and commit e3646330cf66
"powerpc/64s/idle: avoid POWER9 DD1 and DD2.0 PMU workaround on
DD2.1") we changed CPU_FTR_SECTIONs to check for DD1 or DD20, eg:

  BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
          PPC_INVALIDATE_ERAT
  END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_POWER9_DD1 | CPU_FTR_POWER9_DD20)

Unfortunately although this reads as "if set DD1 or DD2.0", the or is
a bitwise or and actually generates a mask of both bits. The code that
does the feature patching then checks that the value of the CPU
features masked with that mask are equal to the mask.

So the end result is we're checking for DD1 and DD20 being set, which
never happens. Yes the API is terrible.

Removing the ERAT workaround on DD2.0 results in random SEGVs, the
system tends to boot, but things randomly die including sometimes
dhclient, udev etc.

To fix the problem and hopefully avoid it in future, we remove the
DD2.0 CPU feature and instead add a DD2.1 (or later) feature. This
allows us to easily express that the workarounds are required if DD2.1
is not set.

At some point we will drop the DD1 workarounds entirely and some of
this can be cleaned up.

DD2.0 ERAT workaround on DD2.1") and commit e3646330cf66
"powerpc/64s/idle: avoid POWER9 DD1 and DD2.0 PMU workaround on
DD2.1") we changed CPU_FTR_SECTIONs to check for DD1 or DD20, eg:

  BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
          PPC_INVALIDATE_ERAT
  END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_POWER9_DD1 | CPU_FTR_POWER9_DD20)

Unfortunately although this reads as "if set DD1 or DD2.0", the or is
a bitwise or and actually generates a mask of both bits. The code that
does the feature patching then checks that the value of the CPU
features masked with that mask are equal to the mask.

So the end result is we're checking for DD1 and DD20 being set, which
never happens. Yes the API is terrible.

Removing the ERAT workaround on DD2.0 results in random SEGVs, the
system tends to boot, but things randomly die including sometimes
dhclient, udev etc.

To fix the problem and hopefully avoid it in future, we remove the
DD2.0 CPU feature and instead add a DD2.1 (or later) feature. This
allows us to easily express that the workarounds are required if DD2.1
is not set.

At some point we will drop the DD1 workarounds entirely and some of
this can be cleaned up.
