When an ifdef is used in the below manner, second one could be considered
as duplicate.
ifdef DEFINE_A
...code block...
ifdef DEFINE_A <-- This is a duplicate.
...code block...
endif
else
ifndef DEFINE_A <-- This is also duplicate.
...code block...
endif
endif
More details about the script and methods used to find these code
patterns are in cover letter of [1].
Few places in arch/powerpc where this pattern was seen:
paca.h:
Hunk1: Code is under check of CONFIG_PPC64 from line 13, hence the
second CONFIG_PPC64 at line 166 is a duplicate.
Hunk2: CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64 was defined back to back. Merged the two
ifdefs.
asm-offsets.c:
Code is under check of CONFIG_PPC64 from line 176 hence second
CONFIG_PPC64 at line 249 is a duplicate.
powermac/feature.c:
#ifndef CONFIG_PPC64 is used at line 2066. And then in #else again
#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64 is used. Which is a duplicate since in #else means
CONFIG_PPC64 is defined.
xmon.c:
Code is under the check of CONFIG_SMP from line 521 hence the same
check of CONFIG_SMP at line 646 is a duplicate.
No functional change is intended here. It only aims to improve code
readability.

The idle_state entry in the PACA on PowerNV features a bit which is
atomically tested and set through ldarx/stdcx. to be used as a spinlock.
This lock then guards access to other bit fields of idle_state. KCSAN
cannot differentiate between any of these bitfield accesses as they all
are implemented by 8-byte store/load instructions, thus cores contending
on the bit-lock appear to data race with modifications to idle_state.
Separate the bit-lock entry from the data guarded by the lock to avoid
the possibility of data races being detected by KCSAN.

PC-Relative or PCREL addressing is an extension to the ELF ABI which
uses Power ISA v3.1 PC-relative instructions to calculate addresses,
rather than the traditional TOC scheme.
Add an option to build vmlinux using pcrel addressing. Modules continue
to use TOC addressing.
- TOC address helpers and r2 are poisoned with -1 when running vmlinux.
r2 could be used for something useful once things are ironed out.
- Assembly must call C functions with @notoc annotation, or the linker
complains aobut a missing nop after the call. This is done with the
CFUNC macro introduced earlier.
- Boot: with the exception of prom_init, the execution branches to the
kernel virtual address early in boot, before any addresses are
generated, which ensures 34-bit pcrel addressing does not miss the
high PAGE_OFFSET bits. TOC relative addressing has a similar
requirement. prom_init does not go to the virtual address and its
addresses should not carry over to the post-prom kernel.
- Ftrace trampolines are converted from TOC addressing to pcrel
addressing, including module ftrace trampolines that currently use the
kernel TOC to find ftrace target functions.
- BPF function prologue and function calling generation are converted
from TOC to pcrel.
- copypage_64.S has an interesting problem, prefixed instructions have
alignment restrictions so the linker can add padding, which makes the
assembler treat the difference between two local labels as
non-constant even if alignment is arranged so padding is not required.
This may need toolchain help to solve nicely, for now move the prefix
instruction out of the alternate patch section to work around it.
This reduces kernel text size by about 6%.

The early paca and boot cpuid dance is complicated and currently does
not quite work as expected for boot cpuid != 0 cases.
early_init_devtree() currently allocates the paca_ptrs and boot cpuid
paca, but until that returns and early_setup() calls setup_paca(), this
thread is currently still executing with smp_processor_id() == 0.
One problem this causes is the paca_ptrs[smp_processor_id()] pointer is
poisoned, so valid_emergency_stack() (any backtrace) and any similar
users will crash.
Another is that the hardware id which is set here will not be returned
by get_hard_smp_processor_id(smp_processor_id()), but it would work
correctly for boot_cpuid == 0, which could lead to difficult to
reproduce or find bugs. The hard id does not seem to be used by the rest
of early_init_devtree(), it just looks like all this code might have
been put here to allocate somewhere to store boot CPU hardware id while
scanning the devtree.
Rearrange things so the hwid is put in a global variable like
boot_cpuid, and do all the paca allocation and boot paca setup in the
64-bit early_setup() after we have everything ready to go.
The paca_ptrs[0] re-poisoning code in early_setup does not seem to have
ever worked, because paca_ptrs[0] was never not-poisoned when boot_cpuid
is not 0.

At the time this was submitted by Leonardo, I confirmed -- or thought
I had confirmed -- with PowerVM partition firmware development that
the following RTAS functions:
- ibm,get-xive
- ibm,int-off
- ibm,int-on
- ibm,set-xive
were safe to call on multiple CPUs simultaneously, not only with
respect to themselves as indicated by PAPR, but with arbitrary other
RTAS calls:
https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/875zcy2v8o.fsf@linux.ibm.com/
Recent discussion with firmware development makes it clear that this
is not true, and that the code in commit b664db8e3f97 ("powerpc/rtas:
Implement reentrant rtas call") is unsafe, likely explaining several
strange bugs we've seen in internal testing involving DLPAR and
LPM. These scenarios use ibm,configure-connector, whose internal state
can be corrupted by the concurrent use of the "reentrant" functions,
leading to symptoms like endless busy statuses from RTAS.

paca.h uses ____cacheline_aligned without directly including cache.h,
where it's defined.
For Book3S builds that's OK because paca.h includes lppaca.h, and it
does include cache.h.
But Book3E builds have been getting cache.h indirectly via printk.h,
which is dicey, and in fact that include was recently removed, leading
to build errors such as:
ld: fs/isofs/dir.o:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `____cacheline_aligned'; fs/isofs/namei.o:(.bss+0x0): first defined here
So include cache.h directly to fix the build error.

In realmode mce handler we use irq_work_queue() to defer
the processing of mce events, irq_work_queue() can only
be called when translation is enabled because it touches
memory outside RMA, hence we enable translation before
calling irq_work_queue and disable on return, though it
is not safe to do in realmode.
To avoid this, program the decrementer and call the event
processing functions from timer handler.

Use the restart table facility to return from interrupt or system calls
without disabling MSR[EE] or MSR[RI].
Interrupt return asm is put into the low soft-masked region, to prevent
interrupts being processed here, although they are still taken as masked
interrupts which causes SRRs to be clobbered, and a pending soft-masked
interrupt to require replaying.
The return code uses restart table regions to redirct to a fixup handler
rather than continue with the exit, if such an interrupt happens. In
this case the interrupt return is redirected to a fixup handler which
reloads r1 for the interrupt stack and reloads registers and sets state
up to replay the soft-masked interrupt and try the exit again.
Some types of security exit fallback flushes and barriers are currently
unable to cope with reentrant interrupts, e.g., because they store some
state in the scratch SPR which would be clobbered even by masked
interrupts. For now the interrupts-enabled exits are disabled when these
flushes are used.

When an interrupt is taken, the SRR registers are set to return to where
it left off. Unless they are modified in the meantime, or the return
address or MSR are modified, there is no need to reload these registers
when returning from interrupt.
Introduce per-CPU flags that track the validity of SRR and HSRR
registers. These are cleared when returning from interrupt, when
using the registers for something else (e.g., OPAL calls), when
adjusting the return address or MSR of a context, and when context
switching (which changes the return address and MSR).
This improves the performance of interrupt returns.

pseries machine running in hash mmu mode, Since part of MCE handler
runs in realmode and part of MCE handling code is shared between ppc

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
- Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks.
- Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
Power9 or later.
- Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.
- A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
architectures.
- Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.
- Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.
- A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.
- Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
usual.

With the proposed change in percpu bootmem allocator to use page
mapping [1], the percpu first chunk memory area can come from vmalloc
ranges. This makes the HMI (Hypervisor Maintenance Interrupt) handler
crash the kernel whenever percpu variable is accessed in real mode.
This patch fixes this issue by moving the HMI IRQ stat inside paca for
safe access in realmode.

Implement rtas_call_reentrant() for reentrant rtas-calls:
"ibm,int-on", "ibm,int-off",ibm,get-xive" and "ibm,set-xive".
On LoPAPR Version 1.1 (March 24, 2016), from 7.3.10.1 to 7.3.10.4,
items 2 and 3 say:
2 - For the PowerPC External Interrupt option: The * call must be
reentrant to the number of processors on the platform.
3 - For the PowerPC External Interrupt option: The * argument call
buffer for each simultaneous call must be physically unique.
So, these rtas-calls can be called in a lockless way, if using
a different buffer for each cpu doing such rtas call.
For this, it was suggested to add the buffer (struct rtas_args)
in the PACA struct, so each cpu can have it's own buffer.
The PACA struct received a pointer to rtas buffer, which is
allocated in the memory range available to rtas 32-bit.
Reentrant rtas calls are useful to avoid deadlocks in crashing,
where rtas-calls are needed, but some other thread crashed holding
the rtas.lock.
This is a backtrace of a deadlock from a kdump testing environment:
#0 arch_spin_lock
#1 lock_rtas ()
#2 rtas_call (token=8204, nargs=1, nret=1, outputs=0x0)

The bad stack test in interrupt handlers has a few problems. For
performance it is taken in the common case, which is a fetch bubble
and a waste of i-cache.
For code development and maintainence, it requires yet another stack
frame setup routine, and that constrains all exception handlers to
follow the same register save pattern which inhibits future
optimisation.
Remove the test/branch and replace it with a trap. Teach the program
check handler to use the emergency stack for this case.
This does not result in quite so nice a message, however the SRR0 and
SRR1 of the crashed interrupt can be seen in r11 and r12, as is the
original r1 (adjusted by INT_FRAME_SIZE). These are the most important
parts to debugging the issue.
The original r9-12 and cr0 is lost, which is the main downside.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Slightly delayed due to the issue with printk() calling
probe_kernel_read() interacting with our new user access prevention
stuff, but all fixed now.
The only out-of-area changes are the addition of a cpuhp_state, small
additions to Documentation and MAINTAINERS updates.
Highlights:
- Support for Kernel Userspace Access/Execution Prevention (like
SMAP/SMEP/PAN/PXN) on some 64-bit and 32-bit CPUs. This prevents
the kernel from accidentally accessing userspace outside
copy_to/from_user(), or ever executing userspace.
- KASAN support on 32-bit.
- Rework of where we map the kernel, vmalloc, etc. on 64-bit hash to
use the same address ranges we use with the Radix MMU.
- A rewrite into C of large parts of our idle handling code for
64-bit Book3S (ie. power8 & power9).
- A fast path entry for syscalls on 32-bit CPUs, for a 12-17% speedup
in the null_syscall benchmark.
- On 64-bit bare metal we have support for recovering from errors
with the time base (our clocksource), however if that fails
currently we hang in __delay() and never crash. We now have support
for detecting that case and short circuiting __delay() so we at
least panic() and reboot.
- Add support for optionally enabling the DAWR on Power9, which had
to be disabled by default due to a hardware erratum. This has the
effect of enabling hardware breakpoints for GDB, the downside is a
badly behaved program could crash the machine by pointing the DAWR
at cache inhibited memory. This is opt-in obviously.
- xmon, our crash handler, gets support for a read only mode where
operations that could change memory or otherwise disturb the system
are disabled.
Plus many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.

Reimplement Book3S idle code in C, moving POWER7/8/9 implementation
speific HV idle code to the powernv platform code.
Book3S assembly stubs are kept in common code and used only to save
the stack frame and non-volatile GPRs before executing architected
idle instructions, and restoring the stack and reloading GPRs then
returning to C after waking from idle.
The complex logic dealing with threads and subcores, locking, SPRs,
HMIs, timebase resync, etc., is all done in C which makes it more
maintainable.
This is not a strict translation to C code, there are some
significant differences:
- Idle wakeup no longer uses the ->cpu_restore call to reinit SPRs,
but saves and restores them itself.
- The optimisation where EC=ESL=0 idle modes did not have to save GPRs
or change MSR is restored, because it's now simple to do. ESL=1
sleeps that do not lose GPRs can use this optimization too.
- KVM secondary entry and cede is now more of a call/return style
rather than branchy. nap_state_lost is not required because KVM
always returns via NVGPR restoring path.
- KVM secondary wakeup from offline sequence is moved entirely into
the offline wakeup, which avoids a hwsync in the normal idle wakeup
path.
Performance measured with context switch ping-pong on different
threads or cores, is possibly improved a small amount, 1-3% depending
on stop state and core vs thread test for shallow states. Deep states
it's in the noise compared with other latencies.
KVM improvements:
- Idle sleepers now always return to caller rather than branch out
to KVM first.
- This allows optimisations like very fast return to caller when no
state has been lost.
- KVM no longer requires nap_state_lost because it controls NVGPR
save/restore itself on the way in and out.
- The heavy idle wakeup KVM request check can be moved out of the
normal host idle code and into the not-performance-critical offline
code.
- KVM nap code now returns from where it is called, which makes the
flow a bit easier to follow.

If we get a machine check exceptions due to SLB errors then dump the

rtas_log_buf is a buffer to hold RTAS event data that are communicated
to kernel by hypervisor. This buffer is then used to pass RTAS event
data to user through proc fs. This buffer is allocated from
vmalloc (non-linear mapping) area.
On Machine check interrupt, register r3 points to RTAS extended event
log passed by hypervisor that contains the MCE event. The pseries
machine check handler then logs this error into rtas_log_buf. The
rtas_log_buf is a vmalloc-ed (non-linear) buffer we end up taking up a
page fault (vector 0x300) while accessing it. Since machine check
interrupt handler runs in NMI context we can not afford to take any
page fault. Page faults are not honored in NMI context and causes
kernel panic. Apart from that, as Nick pointed out,
pSeries_log_error() also takes a spin_lock while logging error which
is not safe in NMI context. It may endup in deadlock if we get another
MCE before releasing the lock. Fix this by deferring the logging of
rtas error to irq work queue.
Current implementation uses two different buffers to hold rtas error
log depending on whether extended log is provided or not. This makes
bit difficult to identify which buffer has valid data that needs to
logged later in irq work. Simplify this using single buffer, one per
paca, and copy rtas log to it irrespective of whether extended log is
provided or not. Allocate this buffer below RMA region so that it can
be accessed in real mode mce handler.

A CPU that gets stuck with interrupts hard disable can be difficult to
debug, as on some platforms we have no way to interrupt the CPU to
find out what it's doing.
A stop-gap is to have the CPU save it's stack pointer (r1) in its paca
when it hard disables interrupts. That way if we can't interrupt it,
we can at least trace the stack based on where it last disabled
interrupts.
In some cases that will be total junk, but the stack trace code should
handle that. In the simple case of a CPU that disable interrupts and
then gets stuck in a loop, the stack trace should be informative.
We could clear the saved stack pointer when we enable interrupts, but
that loses information which could be useful if we have nothing else
to go on.

We have some C code that we call into from real mode where we cannot
take any exceptions. Though the C functions themselves are mostly safe,
if these functions are traced, there is a possibility that we may take
an exception. For instance, in certain conditions, the ftrace code uses
WARN(), which uses a 'trap' to do its job.
For such scenarios, introduce a new field in paca 'ftrace_enabled',
which is checked on ftrace entry before continuing. This field can then
be set to zero to disable/pause ftrace, and set to a non-zero value to
resume ftrace.

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

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

POWER9 processors up to and including "Nimbus" v2.2 have hardware
bugs relating to transactional memory and thread reconfiguration.
One of these bugs has a workaround which is to get the core into
SMT4 state temporarily. This workaround is only needed when
running bare-metal.
This patch provides a function which gets the core into SMT4 mode
by preventing threads from going to a stop state, and waking up
those which are already in a stop state. Once at least 3 threads
are not in a stop state, the core will be in SMT4 and we can
continue.
To do this, we add a "dont_stop" flag to the paca to tell the
thread not to go into a stop state. If this flag is set,
power9_idle_stop() just returns immediately with a return value
of 0. The pnv_power9_force_smt4_catch() function does the following:
1. Set the dont_stop flag for each thread in the core, except
ourselves (in fact we use an atomic_inc() in case more than
one thread is calling this function concurrently).
2. See how many threads are awake, indicated by their
requested_psscr field in the paca being 0. If this is at
least 3, skip to step 5.
3. Send a doorbell interrupt to each thread that was seen as
being in a stop state in step 2.
4. Until at least 3 threads are awake, scan the threads to which
we sent a doorbell interrupt and check if they are awake now.
This relies on the following properties:
- Once dont_stop is non-zero, requested_psccr can't go from zero to
non-zero, except transiently (and without the thread doing stop).
- requested_psscr being zero guarantees that the thread isn't in
a state-losing stop state where thread reconfiguration could occur.
- Doing stop with a PSSCR value of 0 won't be a state-losing stop
and thus won't allow thread reconfiguration.
- Once threads_per_core/2 + 1 (i.e. 3) threads are awake, the core
must be in SMT4 mode, since SMT modes are powers of 2.
This does add a sync to power9_idle_stop(), which is necessary to
provide the correct ordering between setting requested_psscr and
checking dont_stop. The overhead of the sync should be unnoticeable
compared to the latency of going into and out of a stop state.
Because some objected to incurring this extra latency on systems where
the XER[SO] bug is not relevant, I have put the test in
power9_idle_stop inside a feature section. This means that
pnv_power9_force_smt4_catch() WILL NOT WORK correctly on systems
without the CPU_FTR_P9_TM_XER_SO_BUG feature bit set, and will
probably hang the system.
In order to cater for uses where the caller has an operation that
has to be done while the core is in SMT4, the core continues to be
kept in SMT4 after pnv_power9_force_smt4_catch() function returns,
until the pnv_power9_force_smt4_release() function is called.
It undoes the effect of step 1 above and allows the other threads
to go into a stop state.

While the implementation of the "slices" address space allows
a significant amount of high slices, it limits the number of
low slices to 16 due to the use of a single u64 low_slices_psize
element in struct mm_context_t
On the 8xx, the minimum slice size is the size of the area
covered by a single PMD entry, ie 4M in 4K pages mode and 64M in
16K pages mode. This means we could have at least 64 slices.
In order to override this limitation, this patch switches the
handling of low_slices_psize to char array as done already for
high_slices_psize.

The fallback RFI flush is used when firmware does not provide a way
to flush the cache. It's a "displacement flush" that evicts useful
data by displacing it with an uninteresting buffer.
The flush has to take care to work with implementation specific cache
replacment policies, so the recipe has been in flux. The initial
slow but conservative approach is to touch all lines of a congruence
class, with dependencies between each load. It has since been
determined that a linear pattern of loads without dependencies is
sufficient, and is significantly faster.
Measuring the speed of a null syscall with RFI fallback flush enabled
gives the relative improvement:
P8 - 1.83x
P9 - 1.75x
The flush also becomes simpler and more adaptable to different cache
geometries.

Merge our fixes branch from the 4.15 cycle.
Unusually the fixes branch saw some significant features merged,
notably the RFI flush patches, so we want the code in next to be
tested against that, to avoid any surprises when the two are merged.
There's also some other work on the panic handling that was reverted
in fixes and we now want to do properly in next, which would conflict.
And we also fix a few other minor merge conflicts.

Rename the paca->soft_enabled to paca->irq_soft_mask as it is no
longer used as a flag for interrupt state, but a mask.
