powerpc: Remove export of save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable()

2019-03-02T03:43:05+00:00

As tglx points out, there are no in-tree module users of
save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() and its x86 counterpart is not
exported, so remove the powerpc symbol export.

powerpc: prep stack walkers for THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK

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

[text copied from commit 9bbd4c56b0b6
("arm64: prep stack walkers for THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK")]

When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is selected, task stacks may be freed
before a task is destroyed. To account for this, the stacks are
refcounted, and when manipulating the stack of another task, it is
necessary to get/put the stack to ensure it isn't freed and/or re-used
while we do so.

This patch reworks the powerpc stack walking code to account for this.
When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is not selected these perform no
refcounting, and this should only be a structural change that does not
affect behaviour.

powerpc/livepatch: return -ERRNO values in save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable()

2019-01-31T05:43:38+00:00

To match its x86 counterpart, save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() should
return -EINVAL in cases that it is currently returning 1.  No caller is
currently differentiating non-zero error codes, but let's keep the
arch-specific implementations consistent.

powerpc/livepatch: small cleanups in save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable()

2019-01-31T05:43:38+00:00

Mostly cosmetic changes:

- Group common stack pointer code at the top
- Simplify the first frame logic
- Code stackframe iteration into for...loop construct
- Check for trace->nr_entries overflow before adding any into the array

powerpc/livepatch: relax reliable stack tracer checks for first-frame

2019-01-31T05:43:38+00:00

The bottom-most stack frame (the first to be unwound) may be largely
uninitialized, for the "Power Architecture 64-Bit ELF V2 ABI" only
requires its backchain pointer to be set.

The reliable stack tracer should be careful when verifying this frame:
skip checks on STACK_FRAME_LR_SAVE and STACK_FRAME_MARKER offsets that
may contain uninitialized residual data.

powerpc/64s: Fix build failures with CONFIG_NMI_IPI=n

2018-06-19T13:03:50+00:00

I broke the build when CONFIG_NMI_IPI=n with my recent commit to add
arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace(), eg:

  stacktrace.c:(.text+0x1b0): undefined reference to `.smp_send_safe_nmi_ipi'

We should rework the CONFIG symbols here in future to avoid these
double barrelled ifdefs but for now they fix the build.

powerpc/64s: Wire up arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace()

2018-06-03T10:43:43+00:00

This allows eg. the RCU stall detector, or the soft/hardlockup
detectors to trigger a backtrace on all CPUs.

We implement this by sending a "safe" NMI, which will actually only
send an IPI. Unfortunately the generic code prints "NMI", so that's a
little confusing but we can probably live with it.

If one of the CPUs doesn't respond to the IPI, we then print some info
from it's paca and do a backtrace based on its saved_r1.

Example output:

  INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
  	2-...0: (0 ticks this GP) idle=1be/1/4611686018427387904 softirq=1055/1055 fqs=25735
  	(detected by 4, t=58847 jiffies, g=58, c=57, q=1258)
  Sending NMI from CPU 4 to CPUs 2:

powerpc/livepatch: Implement reliable stack tracing for the consistency model

2018-05-10T13:25:12+00:00

The "Power Architecture 64-Bit ELF V2 ABI" says in section 2.3.2.3:

[...] There are several rules that must be adhered to in order to ensure
reliable and consistent call chain backtracing:

* Before a function calls any other function, it shall establish its
  own stack frame, whose size shall be a multiple of 16 bytes.

 – In instances where a function’s prologue creates a stack frame, the
   back-chain word of the stack frame shall be updated atomically with
   the value of the stack pointer (r1) when a back chain is implemented.
   (This must be supported as default by all ELF V2 ABI-compliant
   environments.)
[...]
 – The function shall save the link register that contains its return
   address in the LR save doubleword of its caller’s stack frame before
   calling another function.

To me this sounds like the equivalent of HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE.
This patch may be unneccessarily limited to ppc64le, but OTOH the only
user of this flag so far is livepatching, which is only implemented on
PPCs with 64-LE, a.k.a. ELF ABI v2.

Feel free to add other ppc variants, but so far only ppc64le got tested.

This change also implements save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() for ppc64le
that checks for the above conditions, where possible.
