Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"A bit of a small release, I suspect in part due to me travelling for
KS. But my backlog of patches to review is smaller than usual, so I
think in part folks just didn't send as much this cycle.
Non-highlights:
- Five fixes for the >128T address space handling, both to fix bugs
in our implementation and to bring the semantics exactly into line
with x86.
Highlights:
- Support for a new OPAL call on bare metal machines which gives us a
true NMI (ie. is not masked by MSR[EE]=0) for debugging etc.
- Support for Power9 DD2 in the CXL driver.
- Improvements to machine check handling so that uncorrectable errors
can be reported into the generic memory_failure() machinery.
- Some fixes and improvements for VPHN, which is used under PowerVM
to notify the Linux partition of topology changes.
- Plumbing to enable TM (transactional memory) without suspend on
some Power9 processors (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NO_SUSPEND).
- Support for emulating vector loads form cache-inhibited memory, on
some Power9 revisions.
- Disable the fast-endian switch "syscall" by default (behind a
CONFIG), we believe it has never had any users.
- A major rework of the API drivers use when initiating and waiting
for long running operations performed by OPAL firmware, and changes
to the powernv_flash driver to use the new API.
- Several fixes for the handling of FP/VMX/VSX while processes are
using transactional memory.
- Optimisations of TLB range flushes when using the radix MMU on
Power9.
- Improvements to the VAS facility used to access coprocessors on
Power9, and related improvements to the way the NX crypto driver
handles requests.
- Implementation of PMEM_API and UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE for 64-bit.

Lazy save and restore of FP/Altivec means that a userspace process can
be sent to userspace with FP or Altivec disabled and loaded only as
required (by way of an FP/Altivec unavailable exception). Transactional
Memory complicates this situation as a transaction could be started
without FP/Altivec being loaded up. This causes the hardware to
checkpoint incorrect registers. Handling FP/Altivec unavailable
exceptions while a thread is transactional requires a reclaim and
recheckpoint to ensure the CPU has correct state for both sets of
registers.
tm_reclaim() has optimisations to not always save the FP/Altivec
registers to the checkpointed save area. This was originally done
because the caller might have information that the checkpointed
registers aren't valid due to lazy save and restore. We've also been a
little vague as to how tm_reclaim() leaves the FP/Altivec state since it
doesn't necessarily always save it to the thread struct. This has lead
to an (incorrect) assumption that it leaves the checkpointed state on
the CPU.
tm_recheckpoint() has similar optimisations in reverse. It may not
always reload the checkpointed FP/Altivec registers from the thread
struct before the trecheckpoint. It is therefore quite unclear where it
expects to get the state from. This didn't help with the assumption
made about tm_reclaim().
These optimisations sit in what is by definition a slow path. If a
process has to go through a reclaim/recheckpoint then its transaction
will be doomed on returning to userspace. This mean that the process
will be unable to complete its transaction and be forced to its failure
handler. This is already an out if line case for userspace. Furthermore,
the cost of copying 64 times 128 bits from registers isn't very long[0]
(at all) on modern processors. As such it appears these optimisations
have only served to increase code complexity and are unlikely to have
had a measurable performance impact.
Our transactional memory handling has been riddled with bugs. A cause
of this has been difficulty in following the code flow, code complexity
has not been our friend here. It makes sense to remove these
optimisations in favour of a (hopefully) more stable implementation.
This patch does mean that some times the assembly will needlessly save
'junk' registers which will subsequently get overwritten with the
correct value by the C code which calls the assembly function. This
small inefficiency is far outweighed by the reduction in complexity for
general TM code, context switching paths, and transactional facility
unavailable exception handler.
0: I tried to measure it once for other work and found that it was
hiding in the noise of everything else I was working with. I find it
exceedingly likely this will be the case here.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Some Power9 revisions can run in a mode where TM operates without
suspended state. If we find ourself on a CPU that might be in this
mode, we query OPAL to check, and if so we reenable TM in CPU
features, and enable a new user feature to signal to userspace that we
are in this mode.
We do not enable the "normal" user feature, PPC_FEATURE2_HTM, but we
do enable PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC because that indicates to userspace
that the kernel will abort transactions on syscall entry, which is
true regardless of the suspend mode.

This adds saving of the transactional memory (TM) checkpointed state
on guest entry and exit. We only do this if we see that the guest has
an active transaction.
It also adds emulation of the TM state changes when delivering IRQs
into the guest. According to the architecture, if we are
transactional when an IRQ occurs, the TM state is changed to
suspended, otherwise it's left unchanged.

Currently, when we have a process using the transactional memory
facilities on POWER8 (that is, the processor is in transactional
or suspended state), and the process enters the kernel and the
kernel then uses the floating-point or vector (VMX/Altivec) facility,
we end up corrupting the user-visible FP/VMX/VSX state. This
happens, for example, if a page fault causes a copy-on-write
operation, because the copy_page function will use VMX to do the
copy on POWER8. The test program below demonstrates the bug.
The bug happens because when FP/VMX state for a transactional process
is stored in the thread_struct, we store the checkpointed state in
.fp_state/.vr_state and the transactional (current) state in
.transact_fp/.transact_vr. However, when the kernel wants to use
FP/VMX, it calls enable_kernel_fp() or enable_kernel_altivec(),
which saves the current state in .fp_state/.vr_state. Furthermore,
when we return to the user process we return with FP/VMX/VSX
disabled. The next time the process uses FP/VMX/VSX, we don't know
which set of state (the current register values, .fp_state/.vr_state,
or .transact_fp/.transact_vr) we should be using, since we have no
way to tell if we are still in the same transaction, and if not,
whether the previous transaction succeeded or failed.
Thus it is necessary to strictly adhere to the rule that if FP has
been enabled at any point in a transaction, we must keep FP enabled
for the user process with the current transactional state in the
FP registers, until we detect that it is no longer in a transaction.
Similarly for VMX; once enabled it must stay enabled until the
process is no longer transactional.
In order to keep this rule, we add a new thread_info flag which we
test when returning from the kernel to userspace, called TIF_RESTORE_TM.
This flag indicates that there is FP/VMX/VSX state to be restored
before entering userspace, and when it is set the .tm_orig_msr field
in the thread_struct indicates what state needs to be restored.
The restoration is done by restore_tm_state(). The TIF_RESTORE_TM
bit is set by new giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional helpers,
which are called from enable_kernel_fp/altivec, giveup_vsx, and
flush_fp/altivec_to_thread instead of giveup_fpu/altivec.
The other thing to be done is to get the transactional FP/VMX/VSX
state from .fp_state/.vr_state when doing reclaim, if that state
has been saved there by giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional.
Having done this, we set the FP/VMX bit in the thread's MSR after
reclaim to indicate that that part of the state is now valid
(having been reclaimed from the processor's checkpointed state).
Finally, in the signal handling code, we move the clearing of the
transactional state bits in the thread's MSR a bit earlier, before
calling flush_fp_to_thread(), so that we don't unnecessarily set
the TIF_RESTORE_TM bit.
This is the test program:
/* Michael Neuling 4/12/2013
*
* See if the altivec state is leaked out of an aborted transaction due to
* kernel vmx copy loops.
*
* gcc -m64 htm_vmxcopy.c -o htm_vmxcopy
