A bisect pointed to the breakage beginning with commit 9fee28baa601 ("powerpc:
implement the new page table range API").

Analysis of the oops pointed to a struct page with a corrupted
compound_head being loaded via page_folio() -&gt; _compound_head() in
hash_page_do_lazy_icache().

The access by the mpic code is to an MMIO address, so the expectation
is that the struct page for that address would be initialised by
init_unavailable_range(), as pointed out by Aneesh.

Instrumentation showed that was not the case, which eventually lead to
the realisation that pfn_valid() was returning false for that address,
causing the struct page to not be initialised.

Because the system is using FLATMEM, the version of pfn_valid() in
memory_model.h is used:

static inline int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)
{
	...
	return pfn &gt;= pfn_offset &amp;&amp; (pfn - pfn_offset) &lt; max_mapnr;
}

Which relies on max_mapnr being initialised. Early in boot max_mapnr is
zero meaning no PFNs are valid.

max_mapnr is initialised in mem_init() called via:

  start_kernel()
    mm_core_init()  # init/main.c:928
      mem_init()

But that is too late for the usage in init_unavailable_range() called via:

  start_kernel()
    setup_arch()    # init/main.c:893
      paging_init()
        free_area_init()
          init_unavailable_range()

Although max_mapnr is currently set in mem_init(), the value is actually
already available much earlier, as soon as mem_topology_setup() has
completed, which is also before paging_init() is called. So move the
initialisation there, which causes paging_init() to correctly initialise
the struct page and fixes the bug.

This bug seems to have been lurking for years, but went unnoticed
because the pre-folio code was inspecting the uninitialised page-&gt;flags
but not dereferencing it.

Thanks to Erhard and Aneesh for help debugging.

The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate
of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus.
As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they
"temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h
and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include
files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and
replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to
explicitly include the correct includes.

init_mm mm_cpumask and context.active_cpus is not maintained at boot
and hotplug. This seems to be harmless because init_mm does not have a
userspace and so never gets user TLBs flushed, but it looks odd and it
prevents some sanity checks being added.

Most probe functions do nothing else than checking whether
the machine is compatible to a given string.

Define that string in ppc_md structure and check it directly from
probe_machine() instead of using ppc_md.probe() for that.

Keep checking in ppc_md.probe() only for more complex probing.

<title>powerpc/64: Move paca allocation to early_setup()</title>

<content type='text'>
The early paca and boot cpuid dance is complicated and currently does
not quite work as expected for boot cpuid != 0 cases.

early_init_devtree() currently allocates the paca_ptrs and boot cpuid
paca, but until that returns and early_setup() calls setup_paca(), this
thread is currently still executing with smp_processor_id() == 0.

One problem this causes is the paca_ptrs[smp_processor_id()] pointer is
poisoned, so valid_emergency_stack() (any backtrace) and any similar
users will crash.

Another is that the hardware id which is set here will not be returned
by get_hard_smp_processor_id(smp_processor_id()), but it would work
correctly for boot_cpuid == 0, which could lead to difficult to
reproduce or find bugs. The hard id does not seem to be used by the rest
of early_init_devtree(), it just looks like all this code might have
been put here to allocate somewhere to store boot CPU hardware id while
scanning the devtree.

Rearrange things so the hwid is put in a global variable like
boot_cpuid, and do all the paca allocation and boot paca setup in the
64-bit early_setup() after we have everything ready to go.

The paca_ptrs[0] re-poisoning code in early_setup does not seem to have
ever worked, because paca_ptrs[0] was never not-poisoned when boot_cpuid
is not 0.

The &lt;asm/archrandom.h&gt; header is a random.c private detail, not
something to be called by other code. As such, don't make it
automatically available by way of random.h.

Create a hardware description string, which we will use to record
various details of the hardware platform we are running on.

Print the accumulated description at boot, and use it to set the generic
description which is printed in oopses.

To begin with add ppc_md.name, aka the "machine description".

Example output at boot with the full series applied:

  Linux version 6.0.0-rc2-gcc-11.1.0-00199-g893f9007a5ce-dirty (michael@alpine1-p1) (powerpc64-linux-gcc (GCC) 11.1.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.36.1) #844 SMP Thu Sep 29 22:29:53 AEST 2022
  Hardware name: IBM pSeries (emulated by qemu) POWER9 (raw) 0x4e1200 0xf000005 of:SLOF,git-5b4c5a pSeries
  printk: bootconsole [udbg0] enabled

archrandom.h includes &lt;asm/machdep.h&gt; to refer ppc_md. This causes
circular header dependency, if generic nodemask.h  includes random.h:

In file included from include/linux/cred.h:16,
                 from include/linux/seq_file.h:13,
                 from arch/powerpc/include/asm/machdep.h:6,

      |         ^~~~~~~~~~

Fix it by removing &lt;asm/machdep.h&gt; dependency from archrandom.h

Now as arch_get_random_seed_long() moved to c-file, and not exported,
it's not available for modules. As Michael Ellerman says:

  I think we actually don't need it exported to modules, I think it's
  a private detail of the RNG &lt;-&gt; architecture interface, not something
  that modules should be calling.

<title>powerpc/mm: Move CMA reservations after initmem_init()</title>

<id>6cf06c17e94f26c290fd3370a5c36514ae15ac43</id>
<content type='text'>
After commit 11ac3e87ce09 ("mm: cma: use pageblock_order as the single
alignment") there is an error at boot about the KVM CMA reservation
failing, eg:

  kvm_cma_reserve: reserving 6553 MiB for global area
  cma: Failed to reserve 6553 MiB

That makes it impossible to start KVM guests using the hash MMU with
more than 2G of memory, because the VM is unable to allocate a large
enough region for the hash page table, eg:

  $ qemu-system-ppc64 -enable-kvm -M pseries -m 4G ...
  qemu-system-ppc64: Failed to allocate KVM HPT of order 25: Cannot allocate memory

Aneesh pointed out that this happens because when kvm_cma_reserve() is
called, pageblock_order has not been initialised yet, and is still zero,
causing the checks in cma_init_reserved_mem() against
CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_PAGES to fail.

Fix it by moving the call to kvm_cma_reserve() after initmem_init(). The
pageblock_order is initialised in sparse_init() which is called from
initmem_init().

Also move the hugetlb CMA reservation.
