On a 2-socket Power9 system with 32 cores/128 threads (SMT4) and 1TB
of memory running the following guest configs:

  guest A:
    - 224GB of memory
    - 56 VCPUs (sockets=1,cores=28,threads=2), where:
      VCPUs 0-1 are pinned to CPUs 0-3,
      VCPUs 2-3 are pinned to CPUs 4-7,
      ...
      VCPUs 54-55 are pinned to CPUs 108-111

  guest B:
    - 4GB of memory
    - 4 VCPUs (sockets=1,cores=4,threads=1)

with the following workloads (with KSM and THP enabled in all):

  guest A:
    stress --cpu 40 --io 20 --vm 20 --vm-bytes 512M

  guest B:
    stress --cpu 4 --io 4 --vm 4 --vm-bytes 512M

  host:
    stress --cpu 4 --io 4 --vm 2 --vm-bytes 256M

the below soft-lockup traces were observed after an hour or so and
persisted until the host was reset (this was found to be reliably
reproducible for this configuration, for kernels 4.15, 4.18, 5.0,
and 5.3-rc5):

CPUs 45, 24, and 124 are stuck on spin locks, likely held by
CPUs 105 and 31.

CPUs 105 and 31 are stuck in smp_call_function_many(), waiting on
target CPU 42. For instance:

  # CPU 105 registers (via xmon)

CPU 42 is running normally, doing VCPU work:

It was subsequently found that ipi_message[PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNCTION]
was set for CPU 42 by at least 1 of the CPUs waiting in
smp_call_function_many(), but somehow the corresponding
call_single_queue entries were never processed by CPU 42, causing the
callers to spin in csd_lock_wait() indefinitely.

Nick Piggin suggested something similar to the following sequence as
a possible explanation (interleaving of CALL_FUNCTION/RESCHEDULE
IPI messages seems to be most common, but any mix of CALL_FUNCTION and
!CALL_FUNCTION messages could trigger it):

    CPU
      X: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
      X:   smp_mb()
      X:   message[RESCHEDULE] = 1
      X: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
      X:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
      X:   ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
      X:   ppc_msgsnd() -&gt; 42
     42: doorbell_exception(): // from CPU X
     42:   ppc_msgsync()
    105: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
    105:   smb_mb()
         // STORE DEFERRED DUE TO RE-ORDERING
  --105:   message[CALL_FUNCTION] = 1
  | 105: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
  | 105:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
  |  42:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 0)
  |  42: smp_ipi_demux_relaxed()
  |  42: // returns to executing guest
  |      // RE-ORDERED STORE COMPLETES
  -&gt;105:   message[CALL_FUNCTION] = 1
    105:   ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
    105:   ppc_msgsnd() -&gt; 42
     42: local_paca-&gt;kvm_hstate.host_ipi == 0 // IPI ignored
    105: // hangs waiting on 42 to process messages/call_single_queue

This can be prevented with an smp_mb() at the beginning of
kvmppc_set_host_ipi(), such that stores to message[&lt;type&gt;] (or other
state indicated by the host_ipi flag) are ordered vs. the store to
to host_ipi.

However, doing so might still allow for the following scenario (not
yet observed):

    CPU
      X: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
      X:   smp_mb()
      X:   message[RESCHEDULE] = 1
      X: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
      X:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
      X:   ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
      X:   ppc_msgsnd() -&gt; 42
     42: doorbell_exception(): // from CPU X
     42:   ppc_msgsync()
         // STORE DEFERRED DUE TO RE-ORDERING
  -- 42:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 0)
  |  42: smp_ipi_demux_relaxed()
  | 105: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
  | 105:   smb_mb()
  | 105:   message[CALL_FUNCTION] = 1
  | 105: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
  | 105:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
  |      // RE-ORDERED STORE COMPLETES
  -&gt; 42:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 0)
     42: // returns to executing guest
    105:   ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
    105:   ppc_msgsnd() -&gt; 42
     42: local_paca-&gt;kvm_hstate.host_ipi == 0 // IPI ignored
    105: // hangs waiting on 42 to process messages/call_single_queue

Fixing this scenario would require an smp_mb() *after* clearing
host_ipi flag in kvmppc_set_host_ipi() to order the store vs.
subsequent processing of IPI messages.

To handle both cases, this patch splits kvmppc_set_host_ipi() into
separate set/clear functions, where we execute smp_mb() prior to
setting host_ipi flag, and after clearing host_ipi flag. These
functions pair with each other to synchronize the sender and receiver
sides.

With that change in place the above workload ran for 20 hours without
triggering any lock-ups.

CPUs 45, 24, and 124 are stuck on spin locks, likely held by
CPUs 105 and 31.

CPUs 105 and 31 are stuck in smp_call_function_many(), waiting on

  SP (7d53ff7edf50) is in userspace

It was subsequently found that ipi_message[PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNCTION]
was set for CPU 42 by at least 1 of the CPUs waiting in
smp_call_function_many(), but somehow the corresponding
call_single_queue entries were never processed by CPU 42, causing the
callers to spin in csd_lock_wait() indefinitely.

Nick Piggin suggested something similar to the following sequence as
a possible explanation (interleaving of CALL_FUNCTION/RESCHEDULE
IPI messages seems to be most common, but any mix of CALL_FUNCTION and
!CALL_FUNCTION messages could trigger it):

    CPU
      X: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
      X:   smp_mb()
      X:   message[RESCHEDULE] = 1
      X: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
      X:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
      X:   ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
      X:   ppc_msgsnd() -&gt; 42
     42: doorbell_exception(): // from CPU X
     42:   ppc_msgsync()
    105: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
    105:   smb_mb()
         // STORE DEFERRED DUE TO RE-ORDERING
  --105:   message[CALL_FUNCTION] = 1
  | 105: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
  | 105:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
  |  42:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 0)
  |  42: smp_ipi_demux_relaxed()
  |  42: // returns to executing guest
  |      // RE-ORDERED STORE COMPLETES
  -&gt;105:   message[CALL_FUNCTION] = 1
    105:   ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
    105:   ppc_msgsnd() -&gt; 42
     42: local_paca-&gt;kvm_hstate.host_ipi == 0 // IPI ignored
    105: // hangs waiting on 42 to process messages/call_single_queue

This can be prevented with an smp_mb() at the beginning of
kvmppc_set_host_ipi(), such that stores to message[&lt;type&gt;] (or other
state indicated by the host_ipi flag) are ordered vs. the store to
to host_ipi.

However, doing so might still allow for the following scenario (not
yet observed):

    CPU
      X: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
      X:   smp_mb()
      X:   message[RESCHEDULE] = 1
      X: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
      X:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
      X:   ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
      X:   ppc_msgsnd() -&gt; 42
     42: doorbell_exception(): // from CPU X
     42:   ppc_msgsync()
         // STORE DEFERRED DUE TO RE-ORDERING
  -- 42:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 0)
  |  42: smp_ipi_demux_relaxed()
  | 105: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
  | 105:   smb_mb()
  | 105:   message[CALL_FUNCTION] = 1
  | 105: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
  | 105:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
  |      // RE-ORDERED STORE COMPLETES
  -&gt; 42:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 0)
     42: // returns to executing guest
    105:   ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
    105:   ppc_msgsnd() -&gt; 42
     42: local_paca-&gt;kvm_hstate.host_ipi == 0 // IPI ignored
    105: // hangs waiting on 42 to process messages/call_single_queue

Fixing this scenario would require an smp_mb() *after* clearing
host_ipi flag in kvmppc_set_host_ipi() to order the store vs.
subsequent processing of IPI messages.

To handle both cases, this patch splits kvmppc_set_host_ipi() into
separate set/clear functions, where we execute smp_mb() prior to
setting host_ipi flag, and after clearing host_ipi flag. These
functions pair with each other to synchronize the sender and receiver
sides.

With that change in place the above workload ran for 20 hours without
triggering any lock-ups.

 "Notable changes:

   - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,
     as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't
     (yet?) made it upstream.

   - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
     record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
     kernel crashes.

   - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
     vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.

   - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
     use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.

  And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.

<title>powerpc: Add -Werror at arch/powerpc level</title>

Back when I added -Werror in commit ba55bd74360e ("powerpc: Add
configurable -Werror for arch/powerpc") I did it by adding it to most
of the arch Makefiles.

At the time we excluded math-emu, because apparently it didn't build
cleanly. But that seems to have been fixed somewhere in the interim.

So move the -Werror addition to the top-level of the arch, this saves
us from repeating it in every Makefile and means we won't forget to
add it to any new sub-dirs.

Change the paca array into an array of pointers to pacas. Allocate
pacas individually.

This allows flexibility in where the PACAs are allocated. Future work
will allocate them node-local. Platforms that don't have address limits
on PACAs would be able to defer PACA allocations until later in boot
rather than allocate all possible ones up-front then freeing unused.

This is slightly more overhead (one additional indirection) for cross
CPU paca references, but those aren't too common.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Fix oops on P9 DD1 in cause_ipi()</title>

Recently we merged the native xive support for Power9, and then separately some
reworks for doorbell IPI support. In isolation both series were OK, but the
merged result had a bug in one case.

On P9 DD1 we use pnv_p9_dd1_cause_ipi() which tries to use doorbells, and then
falls back to the interrupt controller. However the fallback is implemented by
calling icp_ops-&gt;cause_ipi. But now that xive support is merged we might be
using xive, in which case icp_ops is not initialised, it's a xics specific
structure. This leads to an oops such as:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000028
  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
  NIP pnv_p9_dd1_cause_ipi+0x74/0xe0
  LR smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass+0x54/0x70

To fix it, rather than using icp_ops which might be NULL, have both xics and
xive set smp_ops-&gt;cause_ipi, and then in the powernv code we save that as
ic_cause_ipi before overriding smp_ops-&gt;cause_ipi. For paranoia add a WARN_ON()
to check if somehow smp_ops-&gt;cause_ipi is NULL.
