ELFv2 doesn't need to set up r2 when calling a function.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
|

In ELFv2, r12 is supposed to equal to PC on entry to a function.
Our stubs use r11, so change swap that with r12.

ELFv2 uses a different stack offset (24 vs 40) to save r2.

ELFv2 doesn't use function descriptors, so we don't expect symbols to
start with ".". But because depmod and modpost strip ".", and we have
the special symbol ".TOC.", we still need to do it.

The new ELF ABI tends to use R_PPC64_REL16_LO and R_PPC64_REL16_HA
relocations (PC-relative), so implement them.

The kernel resolved the '.TOC.' to a fake symbol, so we need to fix it up
to point to our .toc section plus 0x8000.

For the ELFv2 ABI, powerpc introduces a magic symbol ".TOC.". If we
don't create a CRC for it (minus the leading ".", since we strip that)
we get a modpost warning about missing CRC and the CRC array seems to
be displaced by 1 so other CRCs mismatch too.

For the ELFv2 ABI, powerpc introduces a magic symbol ".TOC.". depmod
then complains that this doesn't resolve (so does modpost, but we could
easily fix that). To export this, we need to use asm.
modpost and depmod both strip "." from symbols for the old PPC64 ELFv1
ABI, so we actually export a "TOC.".

Don't try and dereference a function descriptor on ABIv2.

There is no need to put a function descriptor in
__secondary_hold_spinloop. Use ppc_function_entry to get the
instruction address and put it in __secondary_hold_spinloop instead.
Also fix an issue where we assumed cur_cpu_spec held a function
descriptor.

TRACE_WITH_FRAME_BUFFER creates 32 byte stack frames. On ppc64
ABIv1 this is too small and a callee could corrupt the stack by
writing to the parameter save area (starting at offset 48).

Get rid of the tm specific STACK_PARAM and use STK_PARAM
Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
|

Some of the assembler files in lib/ make use of the fact that in the
ELFv1 ABI, the caller guarantees to provide stack space to save the
parameter registers r3 ... r10. This guarantee is no longer present
in ELFv2 for functions that have no variable argument list and no
more than 8 arguments.
Change the affected routines to temporarily store registers in the
red zone and/or the top of their own stack frame (in the space
provided to save r31 .. r29, which is actually not used in these
routines).
In opal_query_takeover, simply always allocate a stack frame;
the routine is not performance critical.

Change how we setup registers for ret_from_kernel_thread. In
ABIv1, instead of passing a function descriptor in, dereference
it and pass the target in directly.
Use ppc_global_function_entry to get it right on both ABIv1 and ABIv2.

The MMU hashtable and SLB branch patching code uses function
pointers for the update sites. This creates a difference between
ABIv1 and ABIv2 because we don't have function descriptors on
ABIv2.
Get rid of the function pointer and just point at the update
sites directly. This works on both ABIs.

To establish addressability quickly, ABIv2 requires the target

We need to avoid function descriptors on ABIv2 too.

ABIv2 doesn't have function descriptors or dot symbols. One
new thing it does add is a function global and a local entry

There are a few places we have to use dot symbols with the

There is no need to create a function descriptor for the system call
table. By using one we force the system call table into the text

This also removes another use of dot symbols.

We have a number of places where we load the text address of a local
function and indirectly branch to it in assembly. Since it is an
indirect branch binutils will not know to use the function text
address, so that trick wont work.
There is no need for these functions to have a function descriptor
so we can replace it with a label and remove the dot symbol.

Commit 8f619b5429d9 ("powerpc/ppc64: Do not turn AIL (reloc-on
interrupts) too early") added code to set the AIL bit in the LPCR
without checking whether the kernel is running in hypervisor mode. The
result is that when the kernel is running as a guest (i.e., under
PowerKVM or PowerVM), the processor takes a privileged instruction
interrupt at that point, causing a panic. The visible result is that
the kernel hangs after printing "returning from prom_init".
This fixes it by checking for hypervisor mode being available before
setting LPCR. If we are not in hypervisor mode, we enable relocation-on
interrupts later in pSeries_setup_arch using the H_SET_MODE hcall.

This was caused by that 'sd->groups == NULL' after building groups, which
was caused by the empty 'sd->span'.
The cpu's domain contained nothing because the cpu was assigned to a wrong
node, due to the following unfortunate sequence of events:
1. The hypervisor sent a topology update to the guest OS, to notify changes
to the cpu-node mapping. However, the update was actually redundant - i.e.,
the "new" mapping was exactly the same as the old one.
2. Due to this, the 'updated_cpus' mask turned out to be empty after exiting
the 'for-loop' in arch_update_cpu_topology().
3. So we ended up calling stop-machine() with an empty cpumask list, which made
stop-machine internally elect cpumask_first(cpu_online_mask), i.e., CPU0 as
the cpu to run the payload (the update_cpu_topology() function).
4. This causes update_cpu_topology() to be run by CPU0. And since 'updates'
is kzalloc()'ed inside arch_update_cpu_topology(), update_cpu_topology()
finds update->cpu as well as update->new_nid to be 0. In other words, we
end up assigning CPU0 (and eventually its siblings) to node 0, incorrectly.
Along with the following wrong updating, it causes the sched-domain rebuild
code to break and crash the system.
Fix this by skipping the topology update in cases where we find that
the topology has not actually changed in reality (ie., spurious updates).

When building modules with a native le toolchain the linker will
generate R_PPC64_TOCSAVE relocations when it's safe to omit saving r2 on
a plt call. This isn't helpful in the conext of a kernel module and the
kernel will fail to load those modules with an error like:
nf_conntrack: Unknown ADD relocation: 109
This patch tells the linker to avoid createing R_PPC64_TOCSAVE
relocations allowing modules to load.

Here rcu_assign_pointer() is ensuring that the
initialization of a structure is carried out before storing a pointer
to that structure.
So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can always safely be converted to
RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL).

next-20140324 currently fails compiling celleb_defconfig with:
arch/powerpc/include/asm/opal.h:894:42: error: 'struct notifier_block' declared inside parameter list [-Werror]
arch/powerpc/include/asm/opal.h:894:42: error: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want [-Werror]
arch/powerpc/include/asm/opal.h:896:14: error: 'struct notifier_block' declared inside parameter list [-Werror]
This is due to a missing include which is added here.

This call will not be understood by OPAL, and cause it to add an error
to it's log. Among other things, this is useful for testing the
behaviour of the log as it fills up.

OPAL provides an in-memory circular buffer containing a message log
populated with various runtime messages produced by the firmware.
Provide a sysfs interface /sys/firmware/opal/msglog for userspace to
view the messages.
