powerpc, kexec: Fix "Processor X is stuck" issue during kexec from ST mode

2014-05-28T03:24:26+00:00

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.

[   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.

[ 9464.148994] 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.

powerpc: Fix 64 bit builds with binutils 2.24

2014-05-28T03:24:05+00:00

With binutils 2.24, various 64 bit builds fail with relocation errors
such as

arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `exc_debug_crit_book3e':
	(.text+0x165ee): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI
	against symbol `interrupt_base_book3e' defined in .text section
	in arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o
arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `exc_debug_crit_book3e':
	(.text+0x16602): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI
	against symbol `interrupt_end_book3e' defined in .text section
	in arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o

The assembler maintainer says:

 I changed the ABI, something that had to be done but unfortunately
 happens to break the booke kernel code.  When building up a 64-bit
 value with lis, ori, shl, oris, ori or similar sequences, you now
 should use @high and @higha in place of @h and @ha.  @h and @ha
 (and their associated relocs R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI and R_PPC64_ADDR16_HA)
 now report overflow if the value is out of 32-bit signed range.
 ie. @h and @ha assume you're building a 32-bit value. This is needed
 to report out-of-range -mcmodel=medium toc pointer offsets in @toc@h
 and @toc@ha expressions, and for consistency I did the same for all
 other @h and @ha relocs.

Replacing @h with @high in one strategic location fixes the relocation
errors. This has to be done conditionally since the assembler either
supports @h or @high but not both.

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.

powerpc: irq work racing with timer interrupt can result in timer interrupt hang

2014-05-12T04:29:28+00:00

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 ->event_handler to update it:

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

In this case ->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);

powerpc/powernv: Reset root port in firmware

2014-05-12T00:33:08+00:00

Resetting root port has more stuff to do than that for PCIe switch
ports and we should have resetting root port done in firmware instead
of the kernel itself. The problem was introduced by commit 5b2e198e
("powerpc/powernv: Rework EEH reset").

KVM guest: Make pv trampoline code executable

2014-04-29T10:36:09+00:00

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.

KVM: PPC: Book3S: ifdef on CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_32_HANDLER for 32bit

2014-04-28T10:35:42+00:00

The book3s_32 target can get built as module which means we don't see the
config define for it in code. Instead, check on the bool define
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_32_HANDLER whenever we want to know whether we're building
for a book3s_32 host.

This fixes running book3s_32 kvm as a module for me.
