powerpc/64: Initialise thread_info for emergency stacks

2017-06-23T03:25:38+00:00

Emergency stacks have their thread_info mostly uninitialised, which in
particular means garbage preempt_count values.

Emergency stack code runs with interrupts disabled entirely, and is
used very rarely, so this has been unnoticed so far. It was found by a
proposed new powerpc watchdog that takes a soft-NMI directly from the
masked_interrupt handler and using the emergency stack. That crashed
at BUG_ON(in_nmi()) in nmi_enter(). preempt_count()s were found to be
garbage.

To fix this, zero the entire THREAD_SIZE allocation, and initialize
the thread_info.

powerpc/64s: Handle data breakpoints in Radix mode

2017-06-16T09:49:43+00:00

On Power9, trying to use data breakpoints throws the splat shown
below. This is because the check for a data breakpoint in DSISR is in
do_hash_page(), which is not called when in Radix mode.

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xc000000000e19218
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000001155e8

Move the check to handle_page_fault() so as to catch data breakpoints
in both Hash and Radix MMU modes.

We have to change the check in do_hash_page() against 0xa410 to use
0xa450, so as to include the value of (DSISR_DABRMATCH << 16).

There are two sites that call handle_page_fault() when in Radix, both
already pass DSISR in r4.

powerpc/kprobes: Skip livepatch_handler() for jprobes

2017-06-16T09:49:43+00:00

ftrace_caller() depends on a modified regs->nip to detect if a certain
function has been livepatched. However, with KPROBES_ON_FTRACE, it is
possible for regs->nip to have been modified by the kprobes pre_handler
(jprobes, for instance). In this case, we do not want to invoke the
livepatch_handler so as not to consume the livepatch stack.

To distinguish between the two (kprobes and livepatch), we check if
there is an active kprobe on the current function. If there is, then we
know for sure that it must have modified the NIP as we don't support
livepatching a kprobe'd function. In this case, we simply skip the
livepatch_handler and branch to the new NIP. Otherwise, the
livepatch_handler is invoked.

powerpc/ftrace: Pass the correct stack pointer for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS

2017-06-16T09:49:43+00:00

For DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS, we should be passing-in the original set
of registers in pt_regs, to capture the state _before_ ftrace_caller.
However, we are instead passing the stack pointer *after* allocating a
stack frame in ftrace_caller. Fix this by saving the proper value of r1
in pt_regs. Also, use SAVE_10GPRS() to simplify the code.

powerpc/kprobes: Pause function_graph tracing during jprobes handling

2017-06-16T09:49:43+00:00

This fixes a crash when function_graph and jprobes are used together.
This is essentially commit 237d28db036e ("ftrace/jprobes/x86: Fix
conflict between jprobes and function graph tracing"), but for powerpc.

Jprobes breaks function_graph tracing since the jprobe hook needs to use
jprobe_return(), which never returns back to the hook, but instead to
the original jprobe'd function. The solution is to momentarily pause
function_graph tracing before invoking the jprobe hook and re-enable it
when returning back to the original jprobe'd function.

powerpc/mm/4k: Limit 4k page size config to 64TB virtual address space

2017-06-08T10:42:56+00:00

Supporting 512TB requires us to do a order 3 allocation for level 1 page
table (pgd). This results in page allocation failures with certain workloads.
For now limit 4k linux page size config to 64TB.

powerpc/numa: Fix percpu allocations to be NUMA aware

2017-06-06T11:19:46+00:00

In commit 8c272261194d ("powerpc/numa: Enable USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID"), we
switched to the generic implementation of cpu_to_node(), which uses a percpu
variable to hold the NUMA node for each CPU.

Unfortunately we neglected to notice that we use cpu_to_node() in the allocation
of our percpu areas, leading to a chicken and egg problem. In practice what
happens is when we are setting up the percpu areas, cpu_to_node() reports that
all CPUs are on node 0, so we allocate all percpu areas on node 0.

This is visible in the dmesg output, as all pcpu allocs being in group 0:

  pcpu-alloc: [0] 00 01 02 03 [0] 04 05 06 07
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 08 09 10 11 [0] 12 13 14 15
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 16 17 18 19 [0] 20 21 22 23
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 24 25 26 27 [0] 28 29 30 31
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 32 33 34 35 [0] 36 37 38 39
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 40 41 42 43 [0] 44 45 46 47

To fix it we need an early_cpu_to_node() which can run prior to percpu being
setup. We already have the numa_cpu_lookup_table we can use, so just plumb it
in. With the patch dmesg output shows two groups, 0 and 1:

  pcpu-alloc: [0] 00 01 02 03 [0] 04 05 06 07
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 08 09 10 11 [0] 12 13 14 15
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 16 17 18 19 [0] 20 21 22 23
  pcpu-alloc: [1] 24 25 26 27 [1] 28 29 30 31
  pcpu-alloc: [1] 32 33 34 35 [1] 36 37 38 39
  pcpu-alloc: [1] 40 41 42 43 [1] 44 45 46 47

We can also check the data_offset in the paca of various CPUs, with the fix we
see:

  CPU 0:  data_offset = 0x0ffe8b0000
  CPU 24: data_offset = 0x1ffe5b0000

And we can see from dmesg that CPU 24 has an allocation on node 1:

  node   0: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000fffffffff]
  node   1: [mem 0x0000001000000000-0x0000001fffffffff]

powerpc/kernel: Initialize load_tm on task creation

2017-06-06T09:09:22+00:00

Currently tsk->thread.load_tm is not initialized in the task creation
and can contain garbage on a new task.

This is an undesired behaviour, since it affects the timing to enable
and disable the transactional memory laziness (disabling and enabling
the MSR TM bit, which affects TM reclaim and recheckpoint in the
scheduling process).

powerpc/kernel: Fix FP and vector register restoration

2017-06-05T05:55:30+00:00

Currently tsk->thread->load_vec and load_fp are not initialized during
task creation, which can lead to garbage values in these variables (non-zero
values).

These variables will be checked later in restore_math() to validate if the
FP and vector registers are being utilized. Since these values might be
non-zero, the restore_math() will continue to save the FP and vectors even if
they were never utilized by the userspace application. load_fp and load_vec
counters will then overflow (they wrap at 255) and the FP and Altivec will be
finally disabled, but before that condition is reached (counter overflow)
several context switches will have restored FP and vector registers without
need, causing a performance degradation.

powerpc/64: Reclaim CPU_FTR_SUBCORE

2017-06-01T09:56:28+00:00

We are running low on CPU feature bits, so we only want to use them when
it's really necessary.

CPU_FTR_SUBCORE is only used in one place, and only in C, so we don't
need it in order to make asm patching work. It can only be set on
"Power8" CPUs, which in practice means POWER8, POWER8E and POWER8NVL.
There are no plans to implement it on future CPUs, but if there ever
were we could retrofit it then.

Although KVM uses subcores, it never looks at the CPU feature, it either
looks at the ISA level or the threads_per_subcore value.

So drop the CPU feature and do a PVR check instead. Drop the device tree
"subcore" feature as we no longer support doing anything with it, and we
will drop it from skiboot too.
