powerpc/64s: Fix crash in load_fp_state() due to fpexc_mode

2020-08-27T07:41:39+00:00

The recent commit 01eb01877f33 ("powerpc/64s: Fix restore_math
unnecessarily changing MSR") changed some of the handling of floating
point/vector restore.

In particular it caused current->thread.fpexc_mode to be copied into
the current MSR (via msr_check_and_set()), rather than just into
regs->msr (which is moved into MSR on return to userspace).

This can lead to a crash in the kernel if we take a floating point
exception when restoring FPSCR:

Fix it by only loading the fpexc_mode value into regs->msr.

Also add a comment to explain that although VSX is subject to the
value of fpexc_mode, we don't have to handle that separately because
we only allow VSX to be enabled if FP is also enabled.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks.

 - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
   Power9 or later.

 - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
   unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
   to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
   userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.

 - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
   checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
   architectures.

 - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
   code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
   systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.

 - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.

 - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
   stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.

 - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
   usual.

Merge branch 'scv' support into next

2020-07-23T07:43:44+00:00

From Nick's cover letter:

Linux powerpc new system call instruction and ABI

System Call Vectored (scv) ABI
==============================

The scv instruction is introduced with POWER9 / ISA3, it comes with an
rfscv counter-part. The benefit of these instructions is
performance (trading slower SRR0/1 with faster LR/CTR registers, and
entering the kernel with MSR[EE] and MSR[RI] left enabled, which can
reduce MSR updates. The scv instruction has 128 levels (not enough to
cover the Linux system call space).

Assignment and advertisement
----------------------------
The proposal is to assign scv levels conservatively, and advertise
them with HWCAP feature bits as we add support for more.

Linux has not enabled FSCR[SCV] yet, so executing the scv instruction
will cause the kernel to log a "SCV facility unavilable" message, and
deliver a SIGILL with ILL_ILLOPC to the process. Linux has defined a
HWCAP2 bit PPC_FEATURE2_SCV for SCV support, but does not set it.

This change allocates the zero level ('scv 0'), advertised with
PPC_FEATURE2_SCV, which will be used to provide normal Linux system
calls (equivalent to 'sc').

Attempting to execute scv with other levels will cause a SIGILL to be
delivered the same as before, but will not log a "SCV facility
unavailable" message (because the processor facility is enabled).

Calling convention
------------------
The proposal is for scv 0 to provide the standard Linux system call
ABI with the following differences from sc convention[1]:

- LR is to be volatile across scv calls. This is necessary because the
  scv instruction clobbers LR. From previous discussion, this should
  be possible to deal with in GCC clobbers and CFI.

- cr1 and cr5-cr7 are volatile. This matches the C ABI and would allow
  the kernel system call exit to avoid restoring the volatile cr
  registers (although we probably still would anyway to avoid
  information leaks).

- Error handling: The consensus among kernel, glibc, and musl is to
  move to using negative return values in r3 rather than CR0[SO]=1 to
  indicate error, which matches most other architectures, and is
  closer to a function call.

Notes
-----
- r0,r4-r8 are documented as volatile in the ABI, but the kernel patch
  as submitted currently preserves them. This is to leave room for
  deciding which way to go with these. Some small benefit was found by
  preserving them[1] but I'm not convinced it's worth deviating from
  the C function call ABI just for this. Release code should follow
  the ABI.

powerpc/64s: system call support for scv/rfscv instructions

2020-07-22T13:00:27+00:00

Add support for the scv instruction on POWER9 and later CPUs.

For now this implements the zeroth scv vector 'scv 0', as identical to
'sc' system calls, with the exception that LR is not preserved, nor
are volatile CR registers, and error is not indicated with CR0[SO],
but by returning a negative errno.

rfscv is implemented to return from scv type system calls. It can not
be used to return from sc system calls because those are defined to
preserve LR.

getpid syscall throughput on POWER9 is improved by 26% (428 to 318
cycles), largely due to reducing mtmsr and mtspr.

powerpc/64s: Fix restore_math unnecessarily changing MSR

2020-07-16T03:00:24+00:00

Before returning to user, if there are missing FP/VEC/VSX bits from the
user MSR then those registers had been saved and must be restored again
before use. restore_math will decide whether to restore immediately, or
skip the restore and let fp/vec/vsx unavailable faults demand load the
registers.

Each time restore_math restores one of the FP/VSX or VEC register sets
is loaded, an 8-bit counter is incremented (load_fp and load_vec). When
these wrap to zero, restore_math no longer restores that register set
until after they are next demand faulted.

It's quite usual for those counters to have different values, so if one
wraps to zero and restore_math no longer restores its registers or user
MSR bit but the other is not zero yet does not need to be restored
(because the kernel is not frequently using the FPU), then restore_math
will be called and it will also not return in the early exit check.
This causes msr_check_and_set to test and set the MSR at every kernel
exit despite having no work to do.

This can cause workloads (e.g., a NULL syscall microbenchmark) to run
fast for a time while both counters are non-zero, then slow down when
one of the counters reaches zero, then speed up again after the second
counter reaches zero. The cost is significant, about 10% slowdown on a
NULL syscall benchmark, and the jittery behaviour is very undesirable.

Fix this by having restore_math test all conditions first, and only
update MSR if we will be loading registers.

arch: rename copy_thread_tls() back to copy_thread()

2020-07-04T21:41:37+00:00

Now that HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS has been removed, rename copy_thread_tls()
back simply copy_thread(). It's a simpler name, and doesn't imply that only
tls is copied here. This finishes an outstanding chunk of internal process
creation work since we've added clone3().
