 "Highlights include:

   - Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we
     use a 128TB virtual address space, but a process can request access
     to the full 512TB by passing a hint to mmap().

   - Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.

   - TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.

   - Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator
     Interface Architecture 2.0".

   - The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and
     runtime.

   - Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as
     support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.

   - Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts,
     correctly treating them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and
     using a new hypervisor call to trigger them, all of which should
     aid debugging and robustness.

   - Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

<title>powerpc/kprobes: Convert __kprobes to NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()</title>
<updated>2017-04-23T10:32:25+00:00</updated>

<id>71f6e58e5efe09b98a1862d4c25976e8f7763b67</id>
<content type='text'>
Along similar lines as commit 9326638cbee2 ("kprobes, x86: Use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()
instead of __kprobes annotation"), convert __kprobes annotation to either
NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() or nokprobe_inline. The latter forces inlining, in which case
the caller needs to be added to NOKPROBE_SYMBOL().

Also:
 - blacklist arch_deref_entry_point(), and
 - convert a few regular inlines to nokprobe_inline in lib/sstep.c

A key benefit is the ability to detect such symbols as being
blacklisted. Before this patch:

  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/blacklist | grep read_mem
  $ perf probe read_mem
  Failed to write event: Invalid argument
    Error: Failed to add events.
  $ dmesg | tail -1
  [ 3736.112815] Could not insert probe at _text+10014968: -22

After patch:
  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/blacklist | grep read_mem
  0xc000000000072b50-0xc000000000072d20	read_mem
  $ perf probe read_mem
  read_mem is blacklisted function, skip it.
  Added new events:
    (null):(null)        (on read_mem)
    probe:read_mem       (on read_mem)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe:read_mem -aR sleep 1

  $ grep " read_mem" /proc/kallsyms
  c000000000072b50 t read_mem
  c0000000005f3b40 t read_mem
  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
  c0000000005f3b48  k  read_mem+0x8    [DISABLED]

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
 "Five fairly small fixes for things that went in this cycle.

  A fairly large patch to rework the CAS logic on Power9, necessitated
  by a late change to the firmware API, and we can't boot without it.

  Three fixes going to stable, allowing more instructions to be emulated
  on LE, fixing a boot crash on 32-bit Freescale BookE machines, and the
  OPAL XICS workaround.

  And a patch from me to sort the selects under CONFIG PPC. Annoying
  churn, but worth it in the long run, and best for it to go in now to
  avoid conflicts.

  Thanks to:
    Alexey Kardashevskiy, Anton Blanchard, Balbir Singh, Gautham R.
    Shenoy, Laurentiu Tudor, Nicholas Piggin, Paul Mackerras, Ravi
    Bangoria, Sachin Sant, Shile Zhang, Suraj Jitindar Singh"

Vector and Vector Scalar - load/store instructions. Test should run
at boot time if CONFIG_KPROBES_SANITY_TEST and CONFIG_PPC64 is set.

emulate_step() uses a number of underlying kernel functions that were
initially not enabled for LE. This has been rectified since. So, fix
emulate_step() for LE for the corresponding instructions.

Update code that relied on sched.h including various MM types for them.

This will allow us to remove the &lt;linux/mm_types.h&gt; include from &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;.

Often all is needed is these small helpers, instead of compiler.h or a
full kprobes.h.  This is important for asm helpers, in fact even some
asm/kprobes.h make use of these helpers...  instead just keep a generic
asm file with helpers useful for asm code with the least amount of
clutter as possible.

Likewise we need now to also address what to do about this file for both
when architectures have CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES, and when they do not.  Then
for when architectures have CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES but have disabled
CONFIG_KPROBES.

Right now most asm/kprobes.h do not have guards against CONFIG_KPROBES,
this means most architecture code cannot include asm/kprobes.h safely.
Correct this and add guards for architectures missing them.
Additionally provide architectures that not have kprobes support with
the default asm-generic solution.  This lets us force asm/kprobes.h on
the header include/linux/kprobes.h always, but most importantly we can
now safely include just asm/kprobes.h on architecture code without
bringing the full kitchen sink of header files.

Two architectures already provided a guard against CONFIG_KPROBES on its
kprobes.h: sh, arch.  The rest of the architectures needed gaurds added.
We avoid including any not-needed headers on asm/kprobes.h unless
kprobes have been enabled.

In a subsequent atomic change we can try now to remove compiler.h from
include/linux/kprobes.h.

During this sweep I've also identified a few architectures defining a
common macro needed for both kprobes and ftrace, that of the definition
of the breakput instruction up.  Some refer to this as
BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION.  This must be kept outside of the #ifdef
CONFIG_KPROBES guard.

<title>powerpc/kprobes: Implement Optprobes</title>

Current infrastructure of kprobe uses the unconditional trap instruction
to probe a running kernel. Optprobe allows kprobe to replace the trap
with a branch instruction to a detour buffer. Detour buffer contains
instructions to create an in memory pt_regs. Detour buffer also has a
call to optimized_callback() which in turn call the pre_handler(). After
the execution of the pre-handler, a call is made for instruction
emulation. The NIP is determined in advanced through dummy instruction
emulation and a branch instruction is created to the NIP at the end of
the trampoline.

To address the limitation of branch instruction in POWER architecture,
detour buffer slot is allocated from a reserved area. For the time
being, 64KB is reserved in memory for this purpose.

Instructions which can be emulated using analyse_instr() are the
candidates for optimization. Before optimization ensure that the address
range between the detour buffer allocated and the instruction being
probed is within +/- 32MB.
