The pkey code added a CPU_FTR_PKEY bit, but did not add it to the
dt_cpu_ftrs feature set. Although capability is supported by all
processors in the base dt_cpu_ftrs set for 64s, it's a significant
and sufficiently well defined feature to make it optional. So add
it as a quirk for now, which can be versioned out then controlled
by the firmware (once dt_cpu_ftrs gains versioning support).

Presently the dt_cpu_ftrs restore_cpu will only add bits to the LPCR
for secondaries, but some bits must be removed (e.g., UPRT for HPT).
Not clearing these bits on secondaries causes checkstops when booting
with disable_radix.
restore_cpu can not just set LPCR, because it is also called by the
idle wakeup code which relies on opal_slw_set_reg to restore the value
of LPCR, at least on P8 which does not save LPCR to stack in the idle
code.
Fix this by including a mask of bits to clear from LPCR as well, which
is used by restore_cpu.
This is a little messy now, but it's a minimal fix that can be
backported. Longer term, the idle SPR save/restore code can be
reworked to completely avoid calls to restore_cpu, then restore_cpu
would be able to unconditionally set LPCR to match boot processor
environment.

As described in that commit:
When stop is executed with EC=ESL=0, it appears to execute like a
normal instruction (resuming from NIP when woken by interrupt). So
all the save/restore handling can be avoided completely.
This is true, except in the case of an NMI interrupt (sreset or
machine check) interrupting the instruction. In that case, the NMI
gets an "interrupt occurred while the processor was in power-saving
mode" indication. The power-save wakeup code uses that bit to decide
whether to restore some registers (e.g., LR). Because these are no
longer saved, this causes random register corruption.
It may be possible to restore this optimisation by detecting the case
of no register loss on the wakeup side, and avoid restoring in that
case, but that's not a minor fix because the wakeup code itself uses
some registers that would be live (e.g., LR).

These functions will be introduced into the generic iomap.c so they
can deal with PIO accesses in hi-lo/lo-hi variants. Thus, the powerpc
version of iomap.c will need to provide the same functions even
though, in this arch, they are identical to the regular
io{read|write}64 functions.

With 64k page size, we have hugetlb pte entries at the pmd and pud level for
book3s64. We don't need to create a separate page table cache for that. With 4k
we need to make sure hugepd page table cache for 16M is placed at PUD level
and 16G at the PGD level.
Simplify all these by not using HUGEPD_PD_SHIFT which is confusing for book3s64.

With split PTL (page table lock) config, we allocate the level
4 (leaf) page table using pte fragment framework instead of slab cache
like other levels. This was done to enable us to have split page table
lock at the level 4 of the page table. We use page->plt backing the
all the level 4 pte fragment for the lock.
Currently with Radix, we use only 16 fragments out of the allocated
page. In radix each fragment is 256 bytes which means we use only 4k
out of the allocated 64K page wasting 60k of the allocated memory.
This was done earlier to keep it closer to hash.
This patch update the pte fragment count to 256, thereby using the
full 64K page and reducing the memory usage. Performance tests shows
really low impact even with THP disabled. With THP disabled we will be
contenting further less on level 4 ptl and hence the impact should be
further low.
256 threads:
without patch (10 runs of ./ebizzy -m -n 1000 -s 131072 -S 100)
median = 15678.5
stdev = 42.1209
with patch:
median = 15354
stdev = 194.743
This is with THP disabled. With THP enabled the impact of the patch

When stop is executed with EC=ESL=0, it appears to execute like a
normal instruction (resuming from NIP when woken by interrupt). So all
the save/restore handling can be avoided completely. In particular NV
GPRs do not have to be saved, and MSR does not have to be switched
back to kernel MSR.
So move the test for EC=ESL=0 sleep states out to power9_idle_stop,
and return directly to the caller after stop in that case.
This improves performance for ping-pong benchmark with the stop0_lite
idle state by 2.54% for 2 threads in the same core, and 2.57% for
different cores. Performance increase with HV_POSSIBLE defined will be
improved further by avoiding the hwsync.

Commit 3d4fbffdd703 ("powerpc/64s/idle: POWER9 implement a separate
idle stop function for hotplug") that added power9_offline_stop() was
written before commit 7672691a08c8 ("powerpc/powernv: Provide a way to
force a core into SMT4 mode").
When merging the former I failed to notice that it caused us to skip
the force-SMT4 logic for offline CPUs. The result is that offlined
CPUs will not correctly participate in the force-SMT4 logic, which
presumably will result in badness (not tested).
Reconcile the two commits by making power9_offline_stop() a pre-cursor
to power9_idle_stop(), so that they share the force-SMT4 logic.
This is based on an original commit from Nick, all breakage is my own.

Currently powernv reboot and shutdown requests just leave secondaries
to do their own things. This is undesirable because they can trigger
any number of watchdogs while waiting for reboot, but also we don't
know what else they might be doing -- they might be causing trouble,
trampling memory, etc.
The opal scheduled flash update code already ran into watchdog problems
due to flashing taking a long time, and it was fixed with 2196c6f1ed
("powerpc/powernv: Return secondary CPUs to firmware before FW update"),
which returns secondaries to opal. It's been found that regular reboots
can take over 10 seconds, which can result in the hard lockup watchdog
firing,
reboot: Restarting system
[ 360.038896709,5] OPAL: Reboot request...
Watchdog CPU:0 Hard LOCKUP
Watchdog CPU:44 detected Hard LOCKUP other CPUS:16
Watchdog CPU:16 Hard LOCKUP
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#16 stuck for 3s! [swapper/16:0]
This patch removes the special case for flash update, and calls
smp_send_stop in all cases before calling reboot/shutdown.
smp_send_stop could return CPUs to OPAL, the main reason not to is
that the request could come from a NMI that interrupts OPAL code,
so re-entry to OPAL can cause a number of problems. Putting
secondaries into simple spin loops improves the chances of a
successful reboot.

After migration the security feature flags might have changed (e.g.,
destination system with unpatched firmware), but some flags are not
set/clear again in init_cpu_char_feature_flags() because it assumes
the security flags to be the defaults.
Additionally, if the H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS hypercall fails then
init_cpu_char_feature_flags() does not run again, which potentially
might leave the system in an insecure or sub-optimal configuration.
So, just restore the security feature flags to the defaults assumed
by init_cpu_char_feature_flags() so it can set/clear them correctly,
and to ensure safe settings are in place in case the hypercall fail.

Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
"System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.
At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
future.
Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
code.
This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the

Using the ksys_p{read,write}64() wrappers allows us to get rid of
in-kernel calls to the sys_pread64() and sys_pwrite64() syscalls.
The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in
replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling
convention as sys_p{read,write}64().
This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main kernel side changes were:
- Modernize the kprobe and uprobe creation/destruction tooling ABIs:
The existing text based APIs (kprobe_events and uprobe_events in
tracefs), are naive, limited ABIs in that they require user-space
to clean up after themselves, which is both difficult and fragile
if the tool is buggy or exits unexpectedly. In other words they are
not really suited for modern, robust tooling.
So introduce a modern, file descriptor based ABI that does not have
these limitations: introduce the 'perf_kprobe' and 'perf_uprobe'
PMUs and extend the perf_event_open() syscall to create events with
a kprobe/uprobe attached to them. These [k,u]probe are associated
with this file descriptor, so they are not available in tracefs.
(Song Liu)
- Intel Cannon Lake CPU support (Harry Pan)
- Intel PT cleanups (Alexander Shishkin)
- Improve the performance of pinned/flexible event groups by using RB
trees (Alexey Budankov)
- Add PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES which allows the modification
of hardware breakpoints, which new ABI variant massively speeds up
existing tooling that uses hardware breakpoints to instrument (and
debug) memory usage.
(Milind Chabbi, Jiri Olsa)
- Various Intel PEBS handling fixes and improvements, and other Intel
PMU improvements (Kan Liang)
- Various perf core improvements and optimizations (Peter Zijlstra)
- ... misc cleanups, fixes and updates.
There's over 200 tooling commits, here's an (imperfect) list of

* Add the 'P' hotkey in TUI annotation to dump annotation output
into a file, to ease e-mail reporting of annotation details.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
* Add an IPC/cycles column to the TUI (Jin Yao)
* Improve s390 assembly annotation (Thomas Richter)
* Refactor the output formatting logic to better separate it into
interactive and non-interactive features and add the --stdio2
output variant to demonstrate this. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- 'perf script' improvements:
* Add Python 3 support (Jaroslav Škarvada)

In commit 9690c1574268 ("powerpc/mm/radix: Fix always false comparison
against MMU_NO_CONTEXT") an issue was discovered where `mm->context.id` was
being truncated to an `unsigned int`, while the PID is actually an
`unsigned long`. Update the earlier patch by fixing one remaining
occurrence. Discovered during a compilation with W=1:

When using SIG_DBG_BRANCH_TRACING, MSR.BE is left enabled in the
user context when single_step_exception() prepares the SIGTRAP
delivery. The resulting branch-trap-within-the-SIGTRAP-handler
isn't healthy.
Commit 2538c2d08f46141550a1e68819efa8fe31c6e3dc broke this, by
replacing an MSR mask operation of ~(MSR_SE | MSR_BE) with a call
to clear_single_step() which only clears MSR_SE.
This patch adds a new helper, clear_br_trace(), which clears the
debug trap before invoking the signal handler. This helper is a
NOP for BookE as SIG_DBG_BRANCH_TRACING isn't supported on BookE.

Rather than override the machine type in .S code (which can hide wrong
or ambiguous code generation for the target), set the type to power4
for all assembly.
This also means we need to be careful not to build power4-only code
when we're not building for Book3S, such as the "power7" versions of
copyuser/page/memcpy.

ALTIVEC and VSX features are not added by to default to the POWERx CPU
feature sets because they are intended to be enabled by firmware.
Currently they end up in CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE due to their inclusion in
other the set for other CPUs, eg. PPC970.
But they should be added individually to the CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE set,
because if we reduce the set of CPUs that are built-for they may
disappear from the possible mask.
It already contains CPU_FTR_VSX, so add ALTIVEC. The _COMP features
should be used because they won't be present if compiled out.

When building a uImage or zImage using ppc6xx_defconfig and some other
defconfigs, the following error occurs with GCC 4.5.1:
/arch/powerpc/boot/libfdt_env.h:10:13: error: redefinition of typedef 'uint32_t'
/arch/powerpc/boot/types.h:21:13: note: previous declaration of 'uint32_t' was here

The problem is that commit 656ad58ef19e (powerpc/boot: Add OPAL
console to epapr wrappers) adds typedefs for uint32_t and uint64_t to
type.h but doesn't remove the pre-existing (and now duplicate)

When waking from a CPU idle instruction (e.g., nap or stop), the sync
for ordering the KVM secondary thread state can be avoided if there
wakeup is coming from a kernel context rather than KVM context.

state by 0.46% for 2 threads in the same core, and 1.02% for different

system_reset_exception does most of its own crash handling now,
invoking the debugger or crash dumps if they are registered. If not,
then it goes through to die() to print stack traces, and then is
supposed to panic (according to comments).
However after die() prints oopses, it does its own handling which
doesn't allow system_reset_exception to panic (e.g., it may just
kill the current process). This patch causes sreset exceptions to
return from die after it prints messages but before acting.
This also stops die from invoking the debugger on 0x100 crashes.
system_reset_exception similarly calls the debugger. It had been
thought this was harmless (because if the debugger was disabled,
neither call would fire, and if it was enabled the first call
would return). However in some cases like xmon 'X' command, the
debugger returns 0, which currently causes it to be entered
again (first in system_reset_exception, then in die), which is
confusing.
