powerpc has a link register (lr) used for calling functions. We "bl
<func>" to call a function, and "blr" to return back to the call site.
The lr is only a single register, so if we call another function from
inside this function (ie. nested calls), software must save away the
lr on the software stack before calling the new function. Before
returning (ie. before the "blr"), the lr is restored by software from
the software stack.
This makes branch prediction quite difficult for the processor as it
will only know the branch target just before the "blr".
To help with this, modern powerpc processors keep a (non-architected)
hardware stack of lr called a "link stack". When a "bl <func>" is
run, the lr is pushed onto this stack. When a "blr" is called, the
branch predictor pops the lr value from the top of the link stack, and
uses it to predict the branch target. Hence the processor pipeline
knows a lot earlier the branch target.
This works great but there are some cases where you call "bl" but
without a matching "blr". Once such case is when trying to determine
the program counter (which can't be read directly). Here you "bl+4;
mflr" to get the program counter. If you do this, the link stack will
get out of sync with reality, causing the branch predictor to
mis-predict subsequent function returns.
To avoid this, modern micro-architectures have a special case of bl.
Using the form "bcl 20,31,+4", ensures the processor doesn't push to
the link stack.
The 32 and 64 bit variants of __get_datapage() use a "bl; mflr" to
determine the loaded address of the VDSO. The current versions of
these attempt to use this special bl variant.
Unfortunately they use +8 rather than the required +4. Hence the
current code results in the link stack getting out of sync with
reality and hence the resulting performance degradation.
This patch moves it to bcl+4 by moving __kernel_datapage_offset out of
__get_datapage().
With this patch, running a gettimeofday() (which uses
__get_datapage()) microbenchmark we get a decent bump in performance
on POWER7/8.
For the benchmark in tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/benchmarks/gettimeofday.c

64bit gets ~4% improvement

Andy Lutomirski says:
Some dynamic loaders may be slightly faster if a GNU hash is
available.
This is unlikely to have any measurable effect on the time it takes
to resolve vdso symbols (since there are so few of them). In some
contexts, it can be a win for a different reason: if every DSO has a
GNU hash section, then libc can avoid calculating SysV hashes at
all. Both musl and glibc appear to have this optimization.

Currently, little endian is only supported on powernv and pseries,
however, Kconfigs still allow us to include other platforms in a LE
kernel, this may result in space wasting or even build error if some
BE-only platforms always assume they are built for a BE kernel. So just
modify the Kconfigs of BE-only platforms to remove them from being built
for a LE kernel.
For 32bit only platforms, nothing needs to be done, because
CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN depends on PPC64. For 64bit supported platforms, add
CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to dependencies explicitly, so that these platforms will
be disabled for LE [Suggested-by: Cédric Le Goater <clg@fr.ibm.com>].

Commit 086b91d052eb ("scsi_dh: integrate into the core SCSI code")
changed CONFIG_SCSI_DH from tristate to bool.
Our defconfigs have CONFIG_SCSI_DH=m, which the kconfig machinery warns
us is invalid, but instead of converting it to =y it leaves it unset.
This means we loose the CONFIG_SCSI_DH code and everything that depends
on it.
So convert the values in the defconfigs to =y.

Access to the kvm->buses (like with the kvm_io_bus_read() and -write()
functions) has to be protected via the kvm->srcu lock.
The kvmppc_h_logical_ci_load() and -store() functions are missing
this lock so far, so let's add it there, too.
This fixes the problem that the kernel reports "suspicious RCU usage"
when lock debugging is enabled.

In guest_exit_cont we call kvmhv_commence_exit which expects the trap
number as the argument. However r3 doesn't contain the trap number at
this point and as a result we would be calling the function with a
spurious trap number.
Fix this by copying r12 into r3 before calling kvmhv_commence_exit as
r12 contains the trap number.

This fixes a bug which results in stale vcore pointers being left in

of the stale vcore pointers is usually either a crash or a lockup
inside collect_piggybacks() when another VM is run. A typical
lockup message looks like:

The bug is that kvmppc_run_vcpu does not correctly handle the case
where a vcpu task receives a signal while its guest vcpu is executing
in the guest as a result of being piggy-backed onto the execution of
another vcore. In that case we need to wait for the vcpu to finish
executing inside the guest, and then remove this vcore from the
preempted vcores list. That way, we avoid leaving this vcpu's vcore
on the preempted vcores list when the vcpu gets interrupted.

When find_and_init_phbs() looks for the probe-only property, it seems to
trust the firmware to be correctly written, and assumes that there is a
parameter to the property.
It is conceivable that the firmware could not be that perfect, and it could
expose this property naked (at least one arm64 platform seems to exhibit
this exact behaviour). The setup code the ends up making a decision based
on whatever the property pointer points to, which is likely to be junk.
Instead, switch to the common of_pci.c implementation that doesn't suffer
from this problem and ignore the property if the firmware couldn't make up
its mind.

If we had secondary hash flag set, we ended up modifying hash value in
the updatepp code path. Hence with a failed updatepp we will be using
a wrong hash value for the following hash insert. Fix this by
recomputing hash before insert.
Without this patch we can end up with using wrong slot number in linux
pte. That can result in us missing an hash pte update or invalidate
which can cause memory corruption or even machine check.

This new statistic can help diagnosing VCPUs that, for any reason,
trigger bad behavior of halt_poll_ns autotuning.
For example, say halt_poll_ns = 480000, and wakeups are spaced exactly
like 479us, 481us, 479us, 481us. Then KVM always fails polling and wastes
10+20+40+80+160+320+480 = 1110 microseconds out of every
479+481+479+481+479+481+479 = 3359 microseconds. The VCPU then
is consuming about 30% more CPU than it would use without
polling. This would show as an abnormally high number of
attempted polling compared to the successful polls.

Revert dff22d2054b5 ("PCI: Call pci_read_bridge_bases() from core instead
of arch code").
Reading PCI bridge windows is not arch-specific in itself, but there is PCI
core code that doesn't work correctly if we read them too early. For
example, Hannes found this case on an ARM Freescale i.mx6 board:
pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x01000000-0x01efffff]
pci 0000:00:00.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01-ff]
pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 8: no space for [mem size 0x01000000] (mem window)
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 2: failed to assign [mem size 0x00200000]
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 1: failed to assign [mem size 0x00004000]
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 0: failed to assign [mem size 0x00000100]
The 00:00.0 mem window needs to be at least 3MB: the 01:00.0 device needs
0x204100 of space, and mem windows are megabyte-aligned.
Bus sizing can increase a bridge window size, but never *decrease* it (see
d65245c3297a ("PCI: don't shrink bridge resources")). Prior to
dff22d2054b5, ARM didn't read bridge windows at all, so the "original size"
was zero, and we assigned a 3MB window.
After dff22d2054b5, we read the bridge windows before sizing the bus. The
firmware programmed a 16MB window (size 0x01000000) in 00:00.0, and since
we never decrease the size, we kept 16MB even though we only needed 3MB.
But 16MB doesn't fit in the host bridge aperture, so we failed to assign
space for the window and the downstream devices.
I think this is a defect in the PCI core: we shouldn't rely on the firmware
to assign sensible windows.
Ray reported a similar problem, also on ARM, with Broadcom iProc.
Issues like this are too hard to fix right now, so revert dff22d2054b5.

We currently use PERF_EVENT_TXN flag to determine if we are in the middle
of a transaction. If in a transaction, we defer the schedulability checks
from pmu->add() operation to the pmu->commit() operation.
Now that we have "transaction types" (PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ)
we can use the type to determine if we are in a transaction and drop the
PERF_EVENT_TXN flag.
When PERF_EVENT_TXN is dropped, the cpuhw->group_flag on some architectures
becomes unused, so drop that field as well.
This is an extension of the Powerpc patch from Peter Zijlstra to s390,
Sparc and x86 architectures.

The 24x7 counters in Powerpc allow monitoring a large number of counters
simultaneously. They also allow reading several counters in a single
HCALL so we can get a more consistent snapshot of the system.
Use the PMU's transaction interface to monitor and read several event
counters at once. The idea is that users can group several 24x7 events
into a single group of events. We use the following logic to submit
the group of events to the PMU and read the values:
pmu->start_txn() // Initialize before first event
for each event in group
pmu->read(event); // Queue each event to be read
pmu->commit_txn() // Read/update all queuedcounters
The ->commit_txn() also updates the event counts in the respective
perf_event objects. The perf subsystem can then directly get the
event counts from the perf_event and can avoid submitting a new
->read() request to the PMU.

Currently, the PMU interface allows reading only one counter at a time.
But some PMUs like the 24x7 counters in Power, support reading several
counters at once. To leveage this functionality, extend the transaction
interface to support a "transaction type".
The first type, PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, refers to the existing transactions,
i.e. used to _schedule_ all the events on the PMU as a group. A second
transaction type, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ, will be used in a follow-on patch,
by the 24x7 counters to read several counters at once.
Extend the transaction interfaces to the PMU to accept a 'txn_flags'
parameter and use this parameter to ignore any transactions that are
not of type PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD.

Almost everyone implements dma_set_mask the same way, although some time
that's hidden in ->set_dma_mask methods.
This patch consolidates those into a common implementation that either
calls ->set_dma_mask if present or otherwise uses the default
implementation. Some architectures used to only call ->set_dma_mask
after the initial checks, and those instance have been fixed to do the
full work. h8300 implemented dma_set_mask bogusly as a no-ops and has
been fixed.
Unfortunately some architectures overload unrelated semantics like changing
the dma_ops into it so we still need to allow for an architecture override
for now.

Most architectures just call into ->dma_supported, but some also return 1
if the method is not present, or 0 if no dma ops are present (although
that should never happeb). Consolidate this more broad version into
common code.
Also fix h8300 which inorrectly always returned 0, which would have been
a problem if it's dma_set_mask implementation wasn't a similarly buggy
noop.
As a few architectures have much more elaborate implementations, we
still allow for arch overrides.

Currently there are three valid implementations of dma_mapping_error:
(1) call ->mapping_error
(2) check for a hardcoded error code
(3) always return 0
This patch provides a common implementation that calls ->mapping_error
if present, then checks for DMA_ERROR_CODE if defined or otherwise
returns 0.

Most architectures do not support non-coherent allocations and either
define dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent to their coherent versions or stub
them out.
Openrisc uses dma_{alloc,free}_attrs to implement them, and only Mips
implements them directly.
This patch moves the Openrisc version to common code, and handles the
DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT case in the mips dma_map_ops instance.
Note that actual non-coherent allocations require a dma_cache_sync
implementation, so if non-coherent allocations didn't work on
an architecture before this patch they still won't work after it.

Since 2009 we have a nice asm-generic header implementing lots of DMA API
functions for architectures using struct dma_map_ops, but unfortunately
it's still missing a lot of APIs that all architectures still have to
duplicate.
This series consolidates the remaining functions, although we still need
arch opt outs for two of them as a few architectures have very
non-standard implementations.
This patch (of 5):
The coherent DMA allocator works the same over all architectures supporting
dma_map operations.
This patch consolidates them and converges the minor differences:
- the debug_dma helpers are now called from all architectures, including
those that were previously missing them
- dma_alloc_from_coherent and dma_release_from_coherent are now always
called from the generic alloc/free routines instead of the ops
dma-mapping-common.h always includes dma-coherent.h to get the defintions
for them, or the stubs if the architecture doesn't support this feature
- checks for ->alloc / ->free presence are removed. There is only one
magic instead of dma_map_ops without them (mic_dma_ops) and that one
is x86 only anyway.
Besides that only x86 needs special treatment to replace a default devices
if none is passed and tweak the gfp_flags. An optional arch hook is provided
for that.

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.
And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.
The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.
Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.
Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

This fixes a race which can result in the same virtual IRQ number
being assigned to two different MSI interrupts. The most visible
consequence of that is usually a warning and stack trace from the
sysfs code about an attempt to create a duplicate entry in sysfs.
The race happens when one CPU (say CPU 0) is disposing of an MSI
while another CPU (say CPU 1) is setting up an MSI. CPU 0 calls
(for example) pnv_teardown_msi_irqs(), which calls
msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() to indicate that the MSI (i.e. its
hardware IRQ number) is no longer in use. Then, before CPU 0 gets
to calling irq_dispose_mapping() to free up the virtal IRQ number,
CPU 1 comes in and calls msi_bitmap_alloc_hwirqs() to allocate an
MSI, and gets the same hardware IRQ number that CPU 0 just freed.
CPU 1 then calls irq_create_mapping() to get a virtual IRQ number,
which sees that there is currently a mapping for that hardware IRQ
number and returns the corresponding virtual IRQ number (which is
the same virtual IRQ number that CPU 0 was using). CPU 0 then
calls irq_dispose_mapping() and frees that virtual IRQ number.
Now, if another CPU comes along and calls irq_create_mapping(), it
is likely to get the virtual IRQ number that was just freed,
resulting in the same virtual IRQ number apparently being used for
two different hardware interrupts.
To fix this race, we just move the call to msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs()
to after the call to irq_dispose_mapping(). Since virq_to_hw()
doesn't work for the virtual IRQ number after irq_dispose_mapping()
has been called, we need to call it before irq_dispose_mapping() and
remember the result for the msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() call.
The pattern of calling msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() before
irq_dispose_mapping() appears in 5 places under arch/powerpc, and
appears to have originated in commit 05af7bd2d75e ("[POWERPC] MPIC
U3/U4 MSI backend") from 2007.

alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e2a81 ("page
allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is
valid") as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't
fallback to current node for nid == NUMA_NO_NODE. Unfortunately the
name of the function can easily suggest that the allocation is
restricted to the given node and fails otherwise. In truth, the node is
only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags.
The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see for example
commits 5265047ac301 ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage
allocation to local node") and b360edb43f8e ("mm, mempolicy:
migrate_to_node should only migrate to node").
Another issue with the name is that there's a family of
alloc_pages_exact*() functions where 'exact' means exact size (instead
of page order), which leads to more confusion.
To prevent further mistakes, this patch effectively renames
alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() to better convey that
it's an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node() not intended for general
usage. Both functions get described in comments.
It has been also considered to really provide a convenience function for
allocations restricted to a node, but the major opinion seems to be that
__GFP_THISNODE already provides that functionality and we shouldn't
duplicate the API needlessly. The number of users would be small
anyway.
Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are simply converted to
call __alloc_pages_node(), with the exception of sba_alloc_coherent()
which open-codes the check for NUMA_NO_NODE, so it is converted to use
alloc_pages_node() instead. This means it no longer performs some
VM_BUG_ON checks, and since the current check for nid in
alloc_pages_node() uses a 'nid < 0' comparison (which includes
NUMA_NO_NODE), it may hide wrong values which would be previously
exposed.
Both differences will be rectified by the next patch.
To sum up, this patch makes no functional changes, except temporarily
hiding potentially buggy callers. Restricting the checks in
alloc_pages_node() is left for the next patch which can in turn expose
more existing buggy callers.
