<title>powerpc, kexec: Fix "Processor X is stuck" issue during kexec from ST mode</title>

If we try to perform a kexec when the machine is in ST (Single-Threaded) mode
(ppc64_cpu --smt=off), the kexec operation doesn't succeed properly, and we
get the following messages during boot:

[    0.089866] POWER8 performance monitor hardware support registered
[    0.089985] power8-pmu: PMAO restore workaround active.
[    5.095419] Processor 1 is stuck.
[   10.097933] Processor 2 is stuck.
[   15.100480] Processor 3 is stuck.
[   20.102982] Processor 4 is stuck.
[   25.105489] Processor 5 is stuck.
[   30.108005] Processor 6 is stuck.
[   35.110518] Processor 7 is stuck.
[   40.113369] Processor 9 is stuck.
[   45.115879] Processor 10 is stuck.
[   50.118389] Processor 11 is stuck.
[   55.120904] Processor 12 is stuck.
[   60.123425] Processor 13 is stuck.
[   65.125970] Processor 14 is stuck.
[   70.128495] Processor 15 is stuck.
[   75.131316] Processor 17 is stuck.

Note that only the sibling threads are stuck, while the primary threads (0, 8,
16 etc) boot just fine. Looking closer at the previous step of kexec, we observe
that kexec tries to wakeup (bring online) the sibling threads of all the cores,
before performing kexec:

[ 9464.131231] Starting new kernel
[ 9464.148507] kexec: Waking offline cpu 1.
[ 9464.148552] kexec: Waking offline cpu 2.
[ 9464.148600] kexec: Waking offline cpu 3.
[ 9464.148636] kexec: Waking offline cpu 4.
[ 9464.148671] kexec: Waking offline cpu 5.
[ 9464.148708] kexec: Waking offline cpu 6.
[ 9464.148743] kexec: Waking offline cpu 7.
[ 9464.148779] kexec: Waking offline cpu 9.
[ 9464.148815] kexec: Waking offline cpu 10.
[ 9464.148851] kexec: Waking offline cpu 11.
[ 9464.148887] kexec: Waking offline cpu 12.
[ 9464.148922] kexec: Waking offline cpu 13.
[ 9464.148958] kexec: Waking offline cpu 14.
[ 9464.148994] kexec: Waking offline cpu 15.
[ 9464.149030] kexec: Waking offline cpu 17.

Instrumenting this piece of code revealed that the cpu_up() operation actually
fails with -EBUSY. Thus, only the primary threads of all the cores are online
during kexec, and hence this is a sure-shot receipe for disaster, as explained
in commit e8e5c2155b (powerpc/kexec: Fix orphaned offline CPUs across kexec),
as well as in the comment above wake_offline_cpus().

It turns out that cpu_up() was returning -EBUSY because the variable
'cpu_hotplug_disabled' was set to 1; and this disabling of CPU hotplug was done
by migrate_to_reboot_cpu() inside kernel_kexec().

Now, migrate_to_reboot_cpu() was originally written with the assumption that
any further code will not need to perform CPU hotplug, since we are anyway in
the reboot path. However, kexec is clearly not such a case, since we depend on
onlining CPUs, atleast on powerpc.

So re-enable cpu-hotplug after returning from migrate_to_reboot_cpu() in the
kexec path, to fix this regression in kexec on powerpc.

Also, wrap the cpu_up() in powerpc kexec code within a WARN_ON(), so that we
can catch such issues more easily in the future.

Patch queue for 3.15 - 2014-05-12

This request includes a few bug fixes that really shouldn't wait for the next
release.

It fixes KVM on 32bit PowerPC when built as module. It also fixes the PV KVM
acceleration when NX gets honored by the host. Furthermore we fix transactional
memory support and numa support on HV KVM.

<title>powerpc: irq work racing with timer interrupt can result in timer interrupt hang</title>

I am seeing an issue where a CPU running perf eventually hangs.
Traces show timer interrupts happening every 4 seconds even
when a userspace task is running on the CPU. /proc/timer_list
also shows pending hrtimers have not run in over an hour,
including the scheduler.

Looking closer, decrementers_next_tb is getting set to
0xffffffffffffffff, and at that point we will never take
a timer interrupt again.

In __timer_interrupt() we set decrementers_next_tb to
0xffffffffffffffff and rely on -&gt;event_handler to update it:

        *next_tb = ~(u64)0;
        if (evt-&gt;event_handler)
                evt-&gt;event_handler(evt);

In this case -&gt;event_handler is hrtimer_interrupt. This will eventually
call back through the clockevents code with the next event to be
programmed:

static int decrementer_set_next_event(unsigned long evt,
                                      struct clock_event_device *dev)
{
        /* Don't adjust the decrementer if some irq work is pending */
        if (test_irq_work_pending())
                return 0;
        __get_cpu_var(decrementers_next_tb) = get_tb_or_rtc() + evt;

If irq work came in between these two points, we will return
before updating decrementers_next_tb and we never process a timer
interrupt again.

This looks to have been introduced by 0215f7d8c53f (powerpc: Fix races
with irq_work). Fix it by removing the early exit and relying on
code later on in the function to force an early decrementer:

       /* We may have raced with new irq work */
       if (test_irq_work_pending())
               set_dec(1);

Our PV guest patching code assembles chunks of instructions on the fly when it
encounters more complicated instructions to hijack. These instructions need
to live in a section that we don't mark as non-executable, as otherwise we
fault when jumping there.

Right now we put it into the .bss section where it automatically gets marked
as non-executable. Add a check to the NX setting function to ensure that we
leave these particular pages executable.

3bc955987fb3 ("powerpc/PCI: Use list_for_each_entry() for bus traversal")
caused a NULL pointer dereference because the loop body set the iterator to
NULL:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000041d78
  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
  ...
  NIP [c000000000041d78] .sys_pciconfig_iobase+0x68/0x1f0
  LR [c000000000041e0c] .sys_pciconfig_iobase+0xfc/0x1f0
  Call Trace:
  [c0000003b4787db0] [c000000000041e0c] .sys_pciconfig_iobase+0xfc/0x1f0 (unreliable)
  [c0000003b4787e30] [c000000000009ed8] syscall_exit+0x0/0x98

Fix it by using a temporary variable for the iterator.

<title>powerpc: Don't try to set LPCR unless we're in hypervisor mode</title>

Commit 8f619b5429d9 ("powerpc/ppc64: Do not turn AIL (reloc-on
interrupts) too early") added code to set the AIL bit in the LPCR
without checking whether the kernel is running in hypervisor mode.  The
result is that when the kernel is running as a guest (i.e., under
PowerKVM or PowerVM), the processor takes a privileged instruction
interrupt at that point, causing a panic.  The visible result is that
the kernel hangs after printing "returning from prom_init".

This fixes it by checking for hypervisor mode being available before
setting LPCR.  If we are not in hypervisor mode, we enable relocation-on
interrupts later in pSeries_setup_arch using the H_SET_MODE hcall.

Pull more powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "Here are a few more powerpc things for you.

  So you'll find here the conversion of the two new firmware sysfs
  interfaces to the new API for self-removing files that Greg and Tejun
  introduced, so they can finally remove the old one.

  I'm also reverting the hwmon driver for powernv.  I shouldn't have
  merged it, I got a bit carried away here.  I hadn't realized it was
  never CCed to the relevant maintainer(s) and list(s), and happens to
  have some issues so I'm taking it out and it will come back via the
  proper channels.

  The rest is a bunch of LE fixes (argh, some of the new stuff was
  broken on LE, I really need to start testing LE myself !) and various
  random fixes here and there.

  Finally one bit that's not strictly a fix, which is the HVC OPAL
  change to "kick" the HVC thread when the firmware tells us there is
  new incoming data.  I don't feel like waiting for this one, it's
  simple enough, and it makes a big difference in console responsiveness
  which is good for my nerves"

* 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (26 commits)
  powerpc/powernv Adapt opal-elog and opal-dump to new sysfs_remove_file_self
  Revert "powerpc/powernv: hwmon driver for power values, fan rpm and temperature"
  power, sched: stop updating inside arch_update_cpu_topology() when nothing to be update
  powerpc/le: Avoid creatng R_PPC64_TOCSAVE relocations for modules.
  arch/powerpc: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in platforms/cell/spu_syscalls.c
  powerpc/opal: Add missing include
  powerpc: Convert last uses of __FUNCTION__ to __func__
  powerpc: Add lq/stq emulation

  powerpc: Remove dead code in sycall entry
  powerpc: Use of_node_init() for the fakenode in msi_bitmap.c
  powerpc/mm: NUMA pte should be handled via slow path in get_user_pages_fast()
  powerpc/powernv: Fix endian issues with sensor code
  powerpc/powernv: Fix endian issues with OPAL async code
  tty/hvc_opal: Kick the HVC thread on OPAL console events
