powerpc/kprobe: Fix oops when kprobed on 'stdu' instruction

2017-04-18T10:19:21+00:00

If we set a kprobe on a 'stdu' instruction on powerpc64, we see a kernel
OOPS:

  Bad kernel stack pointer cd93c840 at c000000000009868
  Oops: Bad kernel stack pointer, sig: 6 [#1]
  ...
  GPR00: c000001fcd93cb30 00000000cd93c840 c0000000015c5e00 00000000cd93c840

  LR [c000000000006208] program_check_common+0x108/0x180

On a 64-bit system when the user probes on a 'stdu' instruction, the kernel does
not emulate actual store in emulate_step() because it may corrupt the exception
frame. So the kernel does the actual store operation in exception return code
i.e. resume_kernel().

resume_kernel() loads the saved stack pointer from memory using lwz, which only
loads the low 32-bits of the address, causing the kernel crash.

Fix this by loading the 64-bit value instead.

Merge branch 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild

2016-10-14T21:26:58+00:00

Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek:

 - EXPORT_SYMBOL for asm source by Al Viro.

   This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates
   checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is
   working on a patch to fix this.

   Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely
   change prototypes.

 - Fixes for PPC fallout of the above by Stephen Rothwell and Nick
   Piggin

 - fixdep speedup by Alexey Dobriyan.

 - preparatory work by Nick Piggin to allow architectures to build with
   -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections

 - CONFIG_THIN_ARCHIVES support by Stephen Rothwell

 - fix for filenames with colons in the initramfs source by me.

powerpc/64s: Optimise MSR handling in exception handling

2016-09-20T05:56:45+00:00

mtmsrd with L=1 only affects MSR_EE and MSR_RI bits, and we always
know what state those bits are, so the kernel MSR does not need to be
loaded when modifying them.

mtmsrd is often in the critical execution path, so avoiding dependency
on even L1 load is noticable. On a POWER8 this saves about 3 cycles
from the syscall path, and possibly a few from other exception returns
(not measured).

powerpc/tm: do not use r13 for tabort_syscall

2016-08-29T02:47:56+00:00

tabort_syscall runs with RI=1, so a nested recoverable machine
check will load the paca into r13 and overwrite what we loaded
it with, because exceptions returning to privileged mode do not
restore r13.

powerpc/mm: Make MMU_FTR_RADIX a MMU family feature

2016-08-01T01:14:57+00:00

MMU feature bits are defined such that we use the lower half to
present MMU family features. Remove the strict split of half and
also move Radix to a mmu family feature. Radix introduce a new MMU
model and strictly speaking it is a new MMU family. This also free
up bits which can be used for individual features later.

powerpc32: provide VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING

2016-07-09T06:43:50+00:00

This patch provides VIRT_CPU_ACCOUTING to PPC32 architecture.
PPC32 doesn't have the PACA structure, so we use the task_info
structure to store the accounting data.

In order to reuse on PPC32 the PPC64 functions, all u64 data has
been replaced by 'unsigned long' so that it is u32 on PPC32 and
u64 on PPC64

powerpc: Define and use PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2/v1

2016-06-14T03:58:27+00:00

We're approaching 20 locations where we need to check for ELF ABI v2.
That's fine, except the logic is a bit awkward, because we have to check
that _CALL_ELF is defined and then what its value is.

So check it once in asm/types.h and define PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2 when ELF ABI
v2 is detected.

We also have a few places where what we're really trying to check is
that we are using the 64-bit v1 ABI, ie. function descriptors. So also
add a #define for that, which simplifies several checks.

powerpc: Add support for userspace P9 copy paste

2016-04-26T23:28:07+00:00

The copy paste facility introduced in POWER9 provides an optimised
mechanism for a userspace application to copy a cacheline. This is
provided by a pair of instructions, copy and paste, while a third,
cp_abort (copy paste abort), provides a clean up of the state in case of
a failure.

The copy instruction will read a 128 byte cacheline and store it in an
internal buffer. The subsequent paste instruction will store this
internal buffer to memory and set a CR field if the paste succeeds.

Since the state of the copy paste buffer is internal (and not
architecturally visible), in the unlikely event of a context switch, the
state cannot be stored and the paste should therefore fail.

The cp_abort instruction exists to fail and clean up any such
interrupted copy paste sequence and is to be called by the kernel as
part of the context switch. Doing so prevents data from a preceding copy
in one process leaking into the paste of another.

This code enables use of the cp_abort instruction if a supported
processor is detected.

NOTE: this is for userspace only, not in kernel, and does not deal
with KVM guests.

Patch created with much assistance from Michael Neuling
